Looking at Lin Yueru's face which was as pale as paper due to fear, Mu Jin almost laughed out loud. She didn't realize that Lin Yueru was so stupid.

And Su Yi never showed mercy when speaking, so why would he care that she was a member of the Lin family or whether there was anyone around?

Lin Yueru was so frightened that her limbs went limp. She was supported by her maid and stood there in a daze. She wanted to speak to argue but couldn't utter a word.

Lin Jingtian happened to be walking over from a distance at this time, and happened to hear Su Yi's teasing words. He hurried forward and scolded Lin Yueru: "Grandma insisted on letting you sit, don't you know how to decline?"

After scolding Lin Yueru, Lin Jingtian hurriedly bowed to Su Yi and said, "Please forgive me, King Yi. This time, it was because my grandmother pitied Ruer and was worried about the rough roads in the Shushan hunting grounds, so she gave Ruer the princess' carriage for this trip."

"Because I left early and was unable to stop her, Ru'er was impolite. I will send someone to send my grandmother's princess carriage and my sister back to Bianliang. I hope King Yi will not blame me."

When Lin Yueru heard that she was going to be sent back to Bianliang, she was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She was not willing to give up and immediately shouted, "Brother, I just came all the way from Bianliang to this hunting ground and I haven't rested for a while yet. I won't go back."

Lin Jingtian scolded: "Stop messing around and go back to Bianliang. This is the punishment for your arrogance and willfulness!"

"I don't want to. I want to go find my father. He will definitely allow me to stay here."

Lin Yueru turned around as she spoke, but was pushed by Lin Jingtian into the carriage used for maids. Soon the carriage drove away from the Shushan Hunting Ground.

Seeing Lin Yueru being sent away, some young ladies from aristocratic families who were usually bullied by Lin Yueru couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

Nan Wenhui didn't come this time, but Lin Yueru rode in Nan Wenhui's carriage, which was as big as a small house, and paraded through the city, hindering the progress of the team.

If Nan Wenhui came this time, it would be fine for Lin Yueru to sit on it, but since Nan Wenhui was not here, it was indeed impolite to leave Lin Yueru sitting on it alone.

But the Lin family was so powerful that if others saw it, who would dare to say anything? They could only pretend not to see it.

It’s just that other people didn’t dare to say anything more, but they forgot that Su Yi was a man who never showed mercy when he spoke.

So when the people present heard Su Yi say this, those who were farther away secretly hid behind others and covered their laughter, while those who were closer were thinking about sad things, fearing that they would laugh out loud and offend the Lin family.

Since Lin Yueru was sent away, Su Yi's ears were quiet, so he naturally didn't plan to argue with Lin Jingtian anymore. He glanced at Lin Jingtian slowly, smiled lazily, and without saying anything more, he took Mu Jin's hand and walked straight into the tent.

On the way to the camp, Su Yi saw Mu Jin trying to hold back his laughter. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. If you hold it back and get hurt, I'll be the one feeling sorry for you."

Mu Jin then covered her face with the palm-leaf fan and started to chuckle.

"I thought that what you said to me was already ruthless enough in the past, but now it seems that you have been extremely restrained towards me."

"It's just that I can't understand why Lin Yueru, who has known you for more than ten years, is so stupid and keeps scolding you?"

Su Yi said: "Lin Yueru's mother was a smart person, but unfortunately she died early. Lin Yueru was crippled by Nan Wenhui."

"Moreover, the aristocratic families don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they focus on training men. The women have the support of their natal family. For a family like the Lin family, if their children are a little spoiled, it's not a big deal for them, because even if they kill someone and expose the truth, they can still deal with it."

Mu Jin naturally understood this principle.

According to the hunting plan, they still had half an hour of rest time. Su Yi accompanied Mu Jin to enjoy lunch together in the tent.

During the meal, Mu Jin noticed that Su Yi spoke much less than usual, and he would secretly look at her from time to time.

Mu Jin didn't want to ask Su Yi the reason, she wanted to see when he could not help but tell her. However, Su Yi's gaze was too hot, and finally Mu Jin couldn't bear it anymore, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at Su Yi.

"Come on, do you have something to tell me?" Su Yi was slightly startled, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Mu Jin. He was extremely nervous in his heart, but he showed a nonchalant smile on his face.

"Grandpa said he wanted to see you. I wonder if you are free? If you are not free, that's fine. He is an old man, there is nothing to see."

Mu Jin's eyes suddenly froze. She had never expected that Su Yi was so distracted during the meal. It turned out that he wanted her to meet Emperor Gaozong.

Mu Jin remained silent, but Su Yi's heart was pounding even more. He even felt a little regretful that he should not have mentioned this to Mu Jin. After all, Mu Jin had not agreed to be with him so far.

Just when he was about to tell Mu Jin that he would not go, Mu Jin suddenly asked: "In what capacity should I go to see your grandfather?"

Su Yi hurriedly said: "As long as you go, you can take whatever identity you want."

Mu Jin looked at Su Yi, who was strong and calm, but the sweat on his forehead betrayed his nervousness at the moment, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Go, why not? The emperor has summoned us, how can we, the common people, just refuse to see him?"

Su Yi got anxious when he heard this, "That's not what I meant. As long as you don't want to, even if I'm your grandfather, I can't force you to do it."

Mu Jin chuckled: "My grandson has helped me a lot, he just wants me to go see him, so what? It's okay, when will I go?"

Su Yi was overjoyed when he heard Mu Jin's answer. He cheered like a child. He held Mu Jin's hand tightly and said eagerly, "Let's go now."

Mu Jin was startled: "Now?"

"Yes, now!" After Su Yi helped Mu Jin tidy up her hair, he took Mu Jin's hand and walked out of the tent.

Su Yi led Mu Jin to the door of the dragon tent in the camp of Emperor Nan Gaozong. After the eunuch came out to announce the news, the two of them walked into the dragon tent.

As soon as they entered, Su Yi took Mu Jin to Nan Gaozong. Inside the dragon tent, Nan Gaozong sat upright on the dragon throne.

Emperor Nan Gaozong knew in his heart that Mu Jin meant a lot to Su Yi. She was the woman that Su Yi was willing to be with for his whole life. This meant that if Su Yi became emperor in the future, Mu Jin would most likely become the queen of a country.

However, when he thought of his grandson Su Yi, who was good in everything except his ability to pursue women and had not been able to win over Mu Jin yet, Nan Gaozong thought that as Su Yi's elder, he should leave a good impression on Mu Jin, so he had to keep up appearances.

"Mu Jin pays respects to Your Majesty." Mu Jin was wearing the traditional dress of a woman from Southern Shu today, so she was performing a woman's blessing ceremony.

Emperor Nan Gaozong looked Mu Jin up and down and praised in his heart: He is really good.

Emperor Nan Gaozong smiled and said to Mu Jin amiably, "No need to be polite. I have always heard Yi'er mention you and praised you as a wonderful woman, so I have long wanted to meet you. It's a pity that Yi'er always hides you, so it is so difficult for me to meet you."

Mu Jin smiled slightly and replied softly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. As long as Your Majesty summons me, I will be ready at any time."

Emperor Nan Gaozong nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Are you used to living in the Princess's Mansion during your visit to Southern Shu this time? If not, why don't you and Yi'er live in the Imperial Palace together? The servants in the Princess's Mansion are naturally not as meticulous and considerate as those in my palace."

Mu Jin was stunned when she heard this. She didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she quickly glanced at Su Yi.

Su Yi also realized that what his grandfather said was becoming less and less reliable, so he coughed forcefully a few times, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, signaling Emperor Nan Gaozong to stop while he was ahead.
