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

Song Zhi knew that he was right. The old emperor spared her life just to assist Mu Yuanzhi. If she disobeyed the order and refused to marry, the old emperor would probably punish her even at the cost of his life.

But having said that, this arranged marriage was a bit too sudden.

And the emperor will definitely learn from the previous experience and let them get married as soon as possible. The idea of ​​the Imperial Astronomical Observatory choosing the date is just talk.

She would never confine herself to a small circle in her life and let herself miss Mu Nanqi. If the old emperor insisted on forcing her, then she had no choice but to take that step.

Song Zhi's eyes became firm, "If possible, please ask the Sixth Prince to persuade the Emperor again."

Mu Yuanzhi looked at her deeply, "What if I can't persuade her?"

Song Zhi evaded the main point, "The Emperor dotes on the Sixth Prince and will not be dissuaded."

After that, she bowed and prepared to leave.

"Bitch, my son is dead, how can you still marry someone else in such a glorious way? I want you to pay for my son's life!"

Unexpectedly, the queen rushed over from the side road.

Her hair was disheveled, and she was holding a pair of scissors in her hand, about to stab Song Zhi. She looked extremely crazy.

"careful!"

Mu Yuanzhi warned Song Zhi, thinking that he would be injured, but he saw the scissors stopped less than a finger's distance away from Song Zhi.

The slender green fingers landed steadily on the queen's wrist, and with a little force, the scissors fell to the ground with a "click".

The Queen's face twisted in pain, "How dare you do this to me!"

Song Zhi pushed her back and the queen fell to the ground instantly.

She looked down at her with a compassionate tone, "How about it? It must be hard to be treated as a useless child by the emperor."

Since she lost her value, the power of the queen's mother's family was greatly weakened, and she completely lost her real power in the palace.

The people in the palace were used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. When they saw her fall, those who had been trying to curry favor with her immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

What's even more infuriating is that those servants didn't serve her at all after her accident. She is now living no differently from a young lady who just entered the palace.

The queen felt humiliated, but she still said stubbornly, "The emperor treats me very well, don't try to sow discord between us."

Today, she heard the palace maids talking about the emperor wanting the sixth prince to marry Song Zhi, and she immediately became furious and ran out without stopping the palace maids.

It was just a coincidence that I saw Song Zhi as soon as I arrived at the Imperial Garden.

Song Zhi's eyes teased, "Do you treat me well? Do you believe that you won't be able to sit on the throne of Queen for long?"

She drawled out her words, "But it doesn't matter how long you sit there. After all, the power of the six palaces lies with the Imperial Concubine, not you."

The Imperial Concubine is the biological mother of the Sixth Prince.

"You! Bitch, bitch!!"

The queen fell to the ground, feeling helpless and furious. Just as she tried to pounce on Song Zhi again, a large group of palace servants rushed over.

"My queen is here. I finally found you."

"How dare you run around while you're still under house arrest? Come back with the servants."

"That's right. If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely hold us accountable. If you want to lose your head, don't make us lose ours too."

The palace maids were very resentful and a little respectful, but not much.

This is the Queen's current situation.

She didn't treat the people around her well when she was in power, so once she lost power, it was natural that others would not be nice to her.

After paying their respects, they forcibly dragged the queen away, and no matter how hard she struggled, it was of no use.

After they left, Mu Yuanzhi asked in amazement, "Miss Song also knows martial arts?"

"will not."

Song Zhi pursed her lips and said, "The only reason I was able to stop the Queen just now was because of my body's instinct in a hurry."

Mu Yuanzhi had no doubts and praised: "It's amazing too."

Song Zhi smiled politely, "I have something else to do at home, so I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave first."

The moment she turned around, Mu Yuanzhi said softly, "Are you really not going to consider me?"

Song Zhi staggered and almost fell over his left foot.

Steadying herself, she frowned and said, "Sixth Prince, please don't joke with me."

Mu Yuanzhi approached her and smiled, "I'm not kidding, Miss Song. I think we're a good match. We'll definitely grow old together."

Song Zhi looked him up and down with a look that suggested, "Are you seriously ill?" "How do you know we're a good match? Tell me, and I'll change it."

They are not familiar with each other at all.

Mu Yuanzhi took out a jade pendant and placed it in her hand. "We look very suitable in every way. The marriage has been granted. I will not persuade my father to take it back. Just be my bride."

Song Zhi took a glance at it. The jade pendant was as bright as the moon, with the word "far" engraved on it. It was obviously a personal item.

She suddenly felt that the thing was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and she returned the jade pendant as if she had been electrocuted.

"Your Highness, please calm down. I really already have someone I like. A forced melon won't be sweet."

She already had a jade pendant that was better than this one, and other jade pendants were not worth mentioning in her eyes.

Seeing that she didn't want to take it, Mu Yuanzhi didn't force her and quietly took it back. "Whether it's sweet or not, you have to try it to know."

"Your Highness, a gentleman helps others achieve their goals, while a villain interferes."

"You haven't discussed marriage yet, so how can you be considered an intruder? Besides, if you two are in love, why haven't you decided on an engagement yet? I guess your relationship isn't that deep."

"not like this."

Song Zhi tried to refute, but she couldn't say it out loud.

This matter concerns Mu Nanqi, so it needs to be kept confidential for the time being.

Mu Yuanzhi was waiting for her to continue. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't see her continue. He smiled and said, "Don't you have something to do at home? Go back quickly."

Song Zhi sighed in frustration. The old emperor was really insidious. He calculated that she would not be able to cause any trouble after Song Yang left the capital, so he deliberately chose this time to grant her marriage.

By the time the dust settles, it will be too late even if Song Yang comes back and disagrees.

She had originally thought it would be best if the Sixth Prince could form a united front with her, but now it seems this hope is doomed to fail.

The old emperor really wanted to force her to take that step!

Song Zhi left the palace with a heavy heart.

At night, the lights in Qingfengyuan were on all night.

The next day, the news of Song Zhi's marriage to the Sixth Prince spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Everyone praised Song Zhi for being so lucky that she was able to marry the Sixth Prince after breaking off the engagement.

In this regard, Song Zhi just wants to say, this blessing is given to you, do you want it?

The wedding date set by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was soon announced to the world and was set for next month.

The rush of time is staggering.

Song Zhi knew that the old emperor was afraid that something might happen if she delayed, so he didn't give her any chance to breathe.

Seeing that she would really have to get married if she stayed in the capital, Song Zhi packed up her things and prepared to run away overnight.

As soon as the door was opened, the Imperial Guards surrounded the Song Mansion in three layers inside and outside.

Wang Lanzhi stood in the night, laughing eerily, "It's so late, I wonder where Miss Song is going with her things?"

Damn it.

Damn it! The dog emperor was so wary of her.

"Go wherever you want, I'm going to hang myself at your doorstep!"

With a 'bang', Song Zhi angrily slammed the door and returned to Qingfeng Courtyard.
