The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

The Cheng'en Hall of the Southern Shu Kingdom's imperial palace is filled with exquisite carvings and magnificent decorations.

The exquisite wood carving art skillfully incorporates auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes and winding cloud patterns.

This is the palace where the Queen of Southern Shu lived during her lifetime.

At this moment, there was no one in the empty court hall except for the majestic-looking man, who was sitting alone on the phoenix chair with deep and sad eyes.

When Su Yi looked at him from the door, he always felt that the majestic back seemed particularly lonely and desolate.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the hall and stopped not far behind the man.

The man then raised his head and said slowly, "Hey, you're back."

Su Yi slowly approached, "I heard that you are incurably ill and are almost dying."

Emperor Gaozong of Nan changed his sad expression and started to laugh.

"That's right. Isn't it strange? You left for a year and I was sick for a year. As soon as you came back, I got better. It's really destiny."

Su Yi rolled his eyes and said, "You old man, you are already this old, can you stop cursing yourself?"

"Hey~ You're still so disrespectful. I'm the Emperor of Southern Shu and your grandfather, so stop calling me old man all the time."

Su Yi poured a cup of tea from the side, handed it to Emperor Nan Gaozong, and said, "Tell me, why did you call me back in such a hurry?"

"Hehe." Emperor Nan Gaozong laughed and took the tea handed to him by Su Yi.

"My dear grandson, you still have some filial piety towards your grandfather. If you can be more filial and take over the burden in my hands, I can relax and enjoy my old age."

Su Yi glanced at Nan Gaozong and said, "There are many people who want to shoulder your burden. Why do you have to harm me?"

Nan Gaozong snorted, looked him up and down, and said, "Why, after being hunted down like a dog by the Lin family, are you willing to give up this position to them? Or are you afraid of them?"

Su Yi disagreed: "Don't provoke me, I won't fall for it."

Nan Gaozong said: "You don't want Dongyue Kingdom, and you don't want Nanshu Kingdom either. Be careful that your woman will leave with others."

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked with an unnatural look: "How did you know?"

Emperor Gaozong of Nan said, "Hey, don't worry about this. I will draft an edict tomorrow. You should take over my position quickly, then trick the man into giving birth to a bunch of kids. I will help you raise them."

Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Dynasties had already begun to fantasize about Su Yi taking over his position, getting married, and giving birth to a group of great-grandchildren for him. What a happy life those days would be.

After saying that, Nan Gaozong looked at Su Yi, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Yi said: "I always thought that you would persuade me to marry those girls from aristocratic families."

Nan Gaozong raised his eyebrows: "If you are willing, it will save you a lot of trouble."

Su Yi sneered in response: "What I fear least is trouble."

Emperor Nan Gaozong looked at Su Yi with satisfaction and said, "So I feel relieved to give this position to you."

Su Yi picked up the teacup from the side and took a sip: "Since I first met you when I was ten years old, you asked me to take your place. Why do I feel like there is some conspiracy?"

"You are a heartless brat." Emperor Gaozong of Nan slapped him on the shoulder.

"You are my precious grandson, how can I cheat you? Don't you see that my country, Nanshu, is so vast and stable that no other country can compare to my country, Nanshu!"

The tea that Su Yi had brought to his lips was suddenly slapped by Emperor Nan Gaozong, and most of it spilled out.

Su Yi looked at him speechlessly. Before he could speak, Emperor Nan Gaozong said:

"No, you're still a novice, so weak? No wonder no matter how hard you try, she ignores you. Otherwise, grandpa, I'll find a doctor to check you out."

"That's not necessary." Su Yi said, "I'm not in vain."

Emperor Nan Gaozong chuckled again and said, "Then give me a definite answer. When will you take over this position?"

Su Yi put down the teacup, rolled his eyes and said, "Let's wait until those people behave themselves."

Nan Gaozong said: "Then hurry up, I can't wait, your woman can't wait either, and the Dongyue people are even less patient to wait."

Su Yi said "hmm".

Nan Gaozong said, "When will you bring your woman to me? I want to see what kind of woman is so capable that she can hold you back and even let you ignore her when your grandfather is seriously ill."

Su Yi glanced at Emperor Gaozong of Nan.

"You just tricked me into coming back to take your place. After all these years, I finally fell in love with such a good woman, and you are still making trouble. What if she is kidnapped? What do you want me to do? I will be alone for the rest of my life?"

Su Yi thought of Mu Jin, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "Also, if you want to see her, it depends on whether she is willing to see you."

Emperor Gaozong of Nan sighed, "Alas, men should not be kept when they grow up."

Su Yi smiled and said, "Maybe soon. Isn't there a hunting event in the Imperial City next month?"

Nan Gaozong hummed: "It's just such a messy place, are you willing to let her go?"

Su Yi smiled gently: "This kind of scene is nothing to her. She is a very good person. You will know it when you see her."

Nan Gaozong nodded and said, "As long as you like it, I can't control you."

Su Yi chatted with Emperor Gaozong of Nan for a few more words before leaving the palace.

Su Yi returned to the princess's mansion in the evening. As soon as he entered the door, the old housekeeper came up to Su Yi with a note and spoke to him.

"My young prince, Princess Wenhui said that the General's Mansion will hold a banquet tomorrow. Knowing that you are coming back today, she wants you and Miss Mu to meet at the General's Mansion."

Su Yi sneered: "Are you losing control of your temper so soon?"

The old housekeeper smiled awkwardly: "I heard that Princess Yueru went back to the general's mansion and made a big fuss."

Su Yi held the post and thought about it with a smile.

"Young prince, do you want to go?"

Su Yi said: "Go~Why not? When I come back here, there will always be some people and things that I need to face."

The old butler nodded: "What about Miss Mu?"

"She will go." Su Yi said, turned and walked towards the backyard.

When Su Yi entered the backyard, Mu Jin had just finished dinner.

Su Yi handed a secret letter to Mu Jin, and Mu Jin looked at Su Yi in confusion.

Su Yi said: "A secret letter from Dongyue."

Mu Jin's heart skipped a beat and he immediately took the secret letter from Su Yi and started reading it.

After reading it, she frowned and handed the secret letter back to Su Yi, thinking for a moment.

"Su Yuntian will not let my father and brother go."

Su Yi nodded: "My people found out that after Su Yuntian came back from Beiqi, his people had close contact with Beiqi in private. I suspect he can't wait any longer."

Mu Jin asked: "What can't you wait?"

Su Yi sneered and said, "I can't wait for the old man in the palace to die and give up his throne."

Mu Jin was horrified: "Are you saying that he wants to usurp the throne?"
