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

Cang Qiong patted his chest and promised that he would not make any mistakes this time. He also said that from now on she would be his second best friend in the world, and if she needed any help, she could just ask.

Song Zhi asked who his best friend was, and Cang Qi blurted out without hesitation, "Of course it's Nan Qi. He and I have a life-long friendship."

Song Zhi originally wanted to ask a few more questions about this "life-long friendship", but Cang Jian was in a hurry to find Liu Ruoyu, so he slipped away.

Two days later, Song Yang was ready and boarded a carriage to the border.

Unexpectedly, Sun was also in the carriage.

When Song Zhi saw her, he thought he was seeing things. He checked several times before he was sure that Sun was in the carriage.

Song Yang explained awkwardly, "I'll first send her to the place I've arranged for her, and then I'll leave for the border."

Song Zhi looked at Sun, who had been dressed elegantly and gracefully again. She sat quietly by the side, and no one could tell that she was hysterical. If it weren't for the old and vicissitudes of life on her face, she would have been almost the same as before Song Zhi came of age.

strangeness.

Not right.

When did Sun become so patient? Given her personality, she should have been furious if Song Yang had dared to go to the border to find Xie Yinyin.

But she sat here silently, so quiet that it was almost eerie.

As the saying goes, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. She doesn't believe that Sun suddenly changed her personality.

Song Zhi pulled Song Yang aside and whispered, "Why don't I find someone to take her away?"

"Zhi'er, stop trying to persuade me. I'm willing to trust her one last time."

Song Yang glanced in the direction of the carriage with a complicated expression. "She told me that she was wrong. She had committed too many sins in the past, which led to the separation of her husband and children. So she wanted to repent for the rest of her life and was willing to go to a new place to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures to start anew."

"That's what she said, but you know what kind of person she is. She's gone back on her word more than once. Don't believe her."

Song Yang insisted, "There's no need to say more. Let's just treat it as a beginning and an end. I still feel a little guilty about sending her to a place where she's unfamiliar with the world to spend the rest of her life. Just think of it as her last journey."

Song Zhi couldn't resist and could only watch Song Yang jump into the carriage and leave.

However, she always felt uneasy, so she sent a secret guard to follow him.

Without Sun, the days were much calmer, and Song Zhi had a smooth time in the next few days.

But soon, Wang Lanzhi came to the Song Mansion again.

Looking at the person sitting in the same seat but wearing different clothes, Song Zhi said nothing.

Wang Lanzhi spoke first, "The Emperor asked me to ask Miss Song what she thinks."

Song Zhi knew that he was referring to the previously proposed matter of supporting the Sixth Prince.

She wasn't stupid enough to openly contradict the emperor, so she responded, "I will devote myself to the service until my death."

Wang Lanzhi looked at her deeply and said, "Ms. Song is quite adaptable."

Song Zhi smiled warmly, "The emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed, and the ministers must act according to the emperor's wishes."

Looking at Song Zhi's smile, Wang Lanzhi felt extremely annoyed.

"I hope you can still laugh after a while."

This was a very interesting statement. After he left, Song Zhi specifically called the secret guard who had been following him to ask about it, only then did he find out that Wang Lanzhi was actually in secret contact with the second prince.

Upon learning that the emperor favored the sixth prince, the second prince was so angry that he almost broke down.

These two people.

If they cooperate, they will be the same old bastards.

Song Zhi suddenly felt a little excited and asked the secret guards to continue following Wang Lanzhi's whereabouts.

With her reply, the emperor summoned her into the palace the next day.

When she rushed to the imperial study, she found a tall figure standing inside.

When she entered, the man happened to look at her.

Their eyes met, and she was met with a gentle gaze.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Sister Song has grown into a real beauty."

The sound is soft, like the spring breeze in March.

It was the Sixth Prince Mu Yuanzhi.

They had met a few times when they were young, but later the Sixth Prince was always weak, so he was kept in the palace and never returned.

It turns out they haven't seen each other for several years.

Song Zhi looked away and bowed before saying, "Greetings, Sixth Prince. Thank you for your compliments."

Mu Yuanzhi blinked at her and said softly, "Sister Song, why don't you be so formal? We will soon be a family."

A family? This came out of nowhere.

Just as Song Zhi was about to ask a question in confusion, he saw the emperor take out an imperial edict and hand it to Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li said, "Song Zhi received the order."

A bad premonition flashed through her mind, but she did not lose her composure and knelt down to receive the order.

Eunuch Li said, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor has decreed that the Song family has a daughter of beauty, intelligence, and a kind heart. I hereby grant her to be married to the Sixth Prince, Mu Yuanzhi. I hope that they will live in harmony and share joys and sorrows. I decree this."

Song Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Grant marriage!

And give her a marriage!

Last time it was Mu Qinghan, this time it’s Mu Yuanzhi. It’s endless, right?

This minister has more than one daughter, so why is she the one causing trouble?

Didn't she verbally agree to support the Sixth Prince? Even though she lied to the old emperor, the old emperor was still too cruel.

Song Zhi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Seeing her kneeling there for a long time without moving, Eunuch Li reminded her, "Miss Song, accept the order."

Song Zhi still didn't move, and Eunuch Li stuffed the imperial edict directly into her arms.

The emperor turned to Mu Yuanzhi with a smile, "My son, look how happy she is after receiving the imperial decree granting her marriage."

Mu Yuanzhi looked at Song Zhi's expression, wanting to say something but hesitant, and thought to himself, "Father, are you sure?"

The emperor pointed at Song Zhi and said, "The dead are gone. I have figured it out. Han'er's death was caused by his own incompetence. You should not mind it. From now on, it is more important for you and Yuanzhi to live a good life."

Song Zhi: “…”

The emperor was in a good mood and didn't mind Song Zhi's disrespect. "Alright, alright, you must be so overwhelmed by the joy of being granted a marriage that you can't react. Don't stay here, go take a walk in the Imperial Garden to cultivate your relationship. I'll ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate a good date for the wedding."

"Your Majesty, your servant..."

"Go quickly!"

The emperor frowned, looking majestic without even getting angry.

Song Zhi finally came to her senses. She said without moving, "Your Majesty, please take back your order. I have no plans to get married at the moment."

On the side, Mu Yuanzhi looked surprised.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked over, his gaze full of danger. "Are you going to disobey my order?"

Song Zhi wanted to say something else when he suddenly felt a warm feeling on his hand.

Mu Yuanzhi said: "Father, please calm down. I will take Miss Song out for a walk right now."

After saying that, he pulled Song Zhi out of the imperial study without saying anything. When she reacted, he was already standing in the imperial garden.

"I'm sorry, Sixth Prince, but I already have someone I love and I won't marry you."

Song Zhi confessed directly.

"Is that so? That's really a pity."

Mu Yuanzhi's expression was still gentle. He released Song Zhi's hand and said, "I was a little abrupt just now. I hope Miss Song doesn't mind."

Sighing, Mu Yuanzhi said, "Father has been unable to get over his inner demons since the death of our eldest brother. If you disobey his wishes now, I'm afraid you will be in great danger."
