Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Feeling Song Zhi's gaze, the man kept curling up, burying his head and saying, "I'm not Mu Yuanzhi! I'm not!"

Xie Ting, who was standing by, wanted to pull him up and show his face, but he resisted and dodged in every possible way.

Song Zhi sighed, "Don't hide, I recognize you, Mu Yuanzhi."

She emphasized the last three words, with an unusually determined light in her eyes.

Just these three words made those who were trying to hide suddenly freeze in place.

After a long moment, he slumped to the ground, his shoulders slumping weakly. "Now you can be sure it's me. Should I be happy or feel ironic?"

He lifted up his hair which still had two smelly leaves hanging on it, revealing a face stained with mud.

Because it was a stinking ditch, he was already smelling terrible. When he raised his head, the people around him were even more suffocated and retreated several steps.

By virtue of his unique facial features, everyone quickly confirmed his identity from the mud.

Xie Ting covered his nose with a look of disgust, "I never thought that the new emperor of Tianqi, who is so high and mighty and ignorant of the suffering of the world, would jump into a stinking ditch just to save his life. It's really eye-opening."

Meng Qi, who was standing by, chimed in, "This is probably the most embarrassing and ridiculous emperor in the world."

"do not talk!"

Mu Yuanzhi couldn't stand the ridicule any more, and shouted loudly with gritted teeth.

Xie Ting, however, didn't give him any face at all, "Hey, you're still showing off your imperial majesty to us at this moment, but you're not the emperor above everyone else anymore."

Mu Yuanzhi looked ashamed, but still said stubbornly: "So what? At least I have been an emperor, and you will never have the chance to be an emperor in your life."

Xie Ting immediately said sarcastically, "I don't even want to be an emperor like you."

The thought of being an emperor who was cursed and resented by thousands of people was disgusting. He would go to the eighteen levels of hell to atone for his sins after death, but he couldn't avoid it, yet he still did it.

"you!"

"All right."

Mu Yuanzhi wanted to say something else but was stopped by Song Zhi.

She glared at Xie Ting and said, "There's no need to argue with him."

"Song Zhi, you must be very proud."

Suddenly, Mu Yuanzhi laughed.

But that smile was filled with strong resentment. "We are clearly on the same side, yet you insist on forcing me to death. Even if you win, so what? You are just a woman. You don't really want the ancestors to recognize your position as empress, do you? All you are doing is just making things easier for Third Brother."

Song Zhi smiled, "Although I don't want to argue with you, I still want to correct your perception."

"First of all, we are not on the same page, and we never have been."

"Secondly, who cares whether our ancestors recognized it or not?"

She is the empress of the Phoenix Kingdom now, isn't she? Once she has organized the seventy-two cities, the entire Tianqi will be changed to the Phoenix Kingdom, and she will be the monarch of the seventy-two cities.

Who cares about those ancestors who died and even their bones can't be found?

Can the dead restrict the development of the living?

Her tone suddenly turned cold. "I just didn't expect that you would still not realize your mistakes even when you were about to die."

So many people died tragically because of him, and the whole country is still wailing and wailing because of him, but he has no regrets or guilt at all.

"I'm not wrong! How could I be wrong?"

Mu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed with hatred. "If you want to blame someone, blame my father who neglected me since I was a child. He is the one who raised me to be this way. If I have any grudges, I should go to him."

"So you killed him didn't you?"

Song Zhi's tone was cold without a trace of warmth, "You have personally ended the person who brought you shadow."

Mu Yuanzhi's expression was dazed for a moment. Thinking of the scene of forcing the emperor to abdicate, all the color faded from his face.

As everyone glared at him, he suddenly broke down and burst into tears, holding his head. "I didn't want to do it either. He forced me to do it, he forced me to do it!"

"He knew I longed to be seen by him, knew I wanted to be praised by him, and to succeed him on the throne, but he refused. He said I couldn't covet things that didn't belong to me. If they didn't belong to me, why was I born into the royal family? Since I was born into the royal family, wasn't that meant for me to covet?"

"He loves his kingdom and his people, but I don't! What does it have to do with me? I just want to live a good life and let everyone know that I thought of what he didn't give me!"

As he spoke, Mu Yuanzhi smiled, and this smile made him look like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.

"Actually, I'm not as stupid as you think. If I hadn't let you go, you wouldn't have been able to take down Tianqi so easily."

He just couldn't reconcile with himself.

Very early on, it was as if there were two of him arguing in his mind, taking turns taking control of his body.

One said that he was now the emperor and should protect the world and consolidate his rule.

The other said that he wanted to destroy the empire that his father had fought so hard to conquer, and let it be destroyed. He wanted his father to know that he was wrong and die with regrets.

In the end, it is obvious that the latter wins more.

So many times, he would be furious at Tianqi's vulnerability, while at the same time, he would remain indifferent and not get involved.

He does not love the people of the previous emperor, he only loves himself.

He himself is the only person in the world who loves him.

Mu Yuanzhi said, "I know you want to see me crying and begging for mercy out of fear of death, or thinking back on what I've done and feeling so ashamed that I want to commit suicide on the spot, but I really don't feel guilty at all. To be honest, so many people died and I really don't feel anything at all. They were just a bunch of ants, so what if they died?"

The others were so angry when they saw Mu Yuanzhi's expression that they wanted to go up and punch him, especially Xie Ting, who had his sleeves rolled up. If Meng Qi hadn't held him back, he would have probably punched him.

Only Song Zhi remained terrifyingly calm, "How pitiful."

She uttered these four words word by word, with sympathy in her tone, "People like you are really pitiful."

After she finished speaking, she slowly walked out of the main tent, leaving Mu Yuanzhi with only her back. "You are such a pitiful person that I can't bear to kill you myself. I will leave you to your good second brother."

Then, everyone in the main tent saw that the man who had been so fearless and boastful, as if he was not afraid of death, suddenly went crazy.

"I'm not pitiful, don't say I'm pitiful!"

"I am the emperor, the monarch of Tianqi. How can I be pitiful?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"why why!"

"Please, don't have pity on me, please."

"No, no, no, my father loves me. He once gave me a letter and had high hopes for me. He said that I would definitely be a good emperor."

"I'm going to kill you! Kill everyone!"

Seeing Mu Yuanzhi almost going crazy, Xie Ting and Meng Qi silently stood a little further away.

Xie Ting secretly gave a thumbs up, "Killing people and destroying their hearts. It seems that I need to calm down a bit before I can be as good as the boss."
