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

Mu Jin had thought that Su Yuntian used his power and royal status to make life more difficult for the Mu family in Dongyue Kingdom, but he never thought that Su Yuntian would be so bold as to usurp the throne.

Su Yi nodded and said, "Yes!"

Mu Jin said: "If that's the case, if he succeeds in usurping the throne, the entire Mu family will surely die."

The more Mu Jin thought about it, the more anxious she became. She looked at Su Yi and said, "Then can I write a letter to my father and brother and ask them to leave the capital?"

Su Yi shook his head: "If General Mu can leave, it is not your turn to write a letter to leave. They are still staying in the capital, which proves that they can't leave."

Mu Jin asked hurriedly: "Why can't you leave?"

"The Mu family is a large clan. General Mu cannot just think about himself. He must also consider the safety of the Mu family members."

"After all, Mu Yan is still a member of the Imperial Guard. Leaving the capital privately is a serious crime and will implicate other members of the Mu family."

Mu Jin said anxiously: "This won't work, that won't work, then what should we do?"

Su Yi smiled, half-seriously, "How about I help you kill Su Yuntian, so you don't have to worry about the safety of your father and brother."

Mu Jin stared into Su Yi's eyes and said after a moment: "What do I want you to do to help me destroy Su Yuntian and solve this dilemma for my Mu family?"

Su Yi asked: "You want to negotiate a deal with me?"

Mu Jin said: "Then are you willing to discuss this deal with me?"

Su Yi smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

Mu Jin emphasized: "It is a deal. When you help my Mu family out of this predicament, I will naturally pay you a corresponding reward."

"Reward?" Su Yi said nonchalantly, "Even if you sold your entire Mu family, how could you be as rich as me?"

Mu Jin gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you don't pledge your love to me, you can set any conditions you want."

Su Yi looked at her with a smile and sighed, "But, I just want you to pledge your love to me, what should I do?"

Mu Jin sneered and stood up.

"You reminded me that you are not the only one who wants to make a deal. It is not impossible for me to go back to Dongyue and make a deal directly with Su Yuntian."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, he said to Qing'er, "Let's set off now."

When Su Yi heard Mu Jin say that she was going back to find Su Yuntian, she suddenly felt uncomfortable and she fiercely grabbed Mu Jin's hand.

"Ajin, are you kidding me?"

Mu Jin looked Su Yi straight in the eye and said, "Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Su Yi looked straight into Mu Jin's eyes with unclear emotions, but in the end he was defeated.

He hugged Mu Jin and whispered in her ear, "You know how I feel about you. How could I ignore your affairs? Why do you always mention other men to make me feel uncomfortable?"

Mu Jin struggled hard but failed to break free from Su Yi's arms.

Su Yi said, "You are the one who suggested the deal. If you want to make a deal, you can only make it with me. Besides, saving your father and brother is just a small matter for me. I won't make it difficult for you. The reward is simple."

"What do you want?" Mu Jin asked.

Su Yi's lips curled up slightly, like a faint crescent moon, and he laughed softly: "Stay with me in the Southern Shu Kingdom as my fiancée. I promise you that within two months at the latest, I will accompany you back to the Eastern Yue Kingdom to ensure the prosperity of your Mu family."

Mu Jin said: "Fake fiancée."

Su Yi said: "It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't show up in front of outsiders."

Mu Jin sneered, "You want me to help you deal with those girls?"

"Yes!" Su Yi said, "You also understand that my charm is irresistible. Wherever I go, there are always a group of women surrounding me, asking me to marry them. It's very annoying."

Mu Jin sneered.

Su Yi said, "You don't believe it? Come with me to the Lin Mansion tomorrow to learn from it and you will understand."

Mu Jin asked: "Lin Yueru's home?"

Su Yi hummed.

Mu Jin asked: "This is also the scope that the fake fiancée should cooperate with on a daily basis."

Su Yi smiled and said, "Yes, this is what you should do as my fiancée."

Mu Jin replied: "A fake fiancée."

Su Yi laughed softly without answering.

"I say, how long are you going to hold on to me? There's no outsiders here at the moment, so there's no need to put on a show," Mu Jin frowned.

Su Yi remained silent.

Mu Jin asked him again: "Do you want to quarrel again?"

Su Yi raised the corner of his lips, let go of Mu Jin, and looked at her with a somewhat hot gaze.

Mu Jin couldn't stand Su Yi's look, so she looked away, sat down at the tea table, poured herself a glass of water in a disguising manner, and said.

Tell me about the Lin family.

Su Yi said: "The current head of the Lin family is Lin Heng. He is the legitimate son of Wen Hui and former General Lin. He has inherited his father's business and his status is equivalent to that of your Mu family in Dongyue. He is the general of Nanshu."

Mu Jin raised his eyebrows. It turned out that they were from a family with military power. No wonder Lin Yueru was so arrogant.

"Southern Shu has very few military commanders, and the Lin family and the Xie family each control half of the country. In addition, the old witch Wen Hui is manipulating the situation, and because of this, the Lin family has become more and more presumptuous in recent years."

When Su Yi said this, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

Mu Jin asked, "Are you talking about the Lin family hunting you down?"

Su Yi said coldly: "Not only that, the old witch Wenhui's other son, Lin Huairen, serves as the Minister of Revenue. In this way, the Lin family controls the government with one civil and one military."

Mu Jin frowned: "How did the emperor of Southern Shu agree to this? Isn't this just giving half of the country to the Lin family? Can't they check and balance it?"

Su Yi shook his head helplessly: "General Lin once helped my grandfather seize the throne, and he was assassinated by the enemy when Wen Hui gave birth to her second son."

"After all, General Lin died in battle for the Southern Shu Kingdom, so my grandfather couldn't be cruel to his eldest sister who became a widow at such a young age."

"So over the years, the old witch Wenhui has taken advantage of my grandfather's softness towards him. Whenever she is not satisfied, she will cry, make a scene, and even hang herself. My grandfather also knows that this will lead to disaster. He intends to suppress her, but he has to do it slowly."

Mu Jin said: "The Lin family has had a deep foundation over the years. If they want to uproot it, I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of the Southern Shu Kingdom. And your grandfather has no children, so they dare to be so fearless."

Su Yi smiled bitterly: "Who said it wasn't?"

Mu Jin was confused. If, as Su Yi said, Wen Hui could influence the decision of the Emperor of Southern Shu, then Emperor Gaozong of Southern Shu must be an indecisive person.

A person who is indecisive can never be an emperor, after all, the emperor has the coldest heart. Moreover, the prosperity of Southern Shu and the absence of war for so many years further illustrate the power of Nan Gaozong in governing the country.

But what Mu Jin couldn't understand the most was that since the Lin family had spared no effort to support Emperor Nan Gaozong to sit on the throne from the beginning, they should have done their best to assist Emperor Nan Gaozong in the future.

Why is he so ambitious now? Could it be that this betrayal comes from Wenhui, or Wenhui's sons, one who is good at literature and the other at martial arts?

Mu Jin felt that the royal family of Southern Shu Kingdom was not as simple as Su Yi said.

Thinking of the internal strife in the country, she suddenly found it a little ridiculous. In Dongyue, the Mu family has always been honest and dutiful, but the emperor is suspicious. Even though she and Su Yuntian separated in the end, the emperor still tried his best to suppress them.

On the other hand, in the Southern Shu Kingdom, the situation was just the opposite. The powerful ministers were arrogant, and the royal family had no choice but to obey their wishes.
