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

In the starry sky of a summer night, the moon hangs in the sky, and the soft moonlight pours down, covering everything around with a hazy veil.

In the distance, on the lawn, many royal family members and ministers gathered in groups of three or five, roasting the prey they had hunted today and drinking wine. Everything seemed so peaceful.

Mu Jin sat in the shed, her face softly outlined by the moonlight, with a bit of worry and uneasiness. From time to time, she looked into the depths of the hunting ground, feeling more and more uneasy.

Mu Jin couldn't hold back and anxiously asked Rufeng to find out the news about Emperor Nan Gaozong and Su Yi.

At this moment, seeing Rufeng running back, she quickly stood up and took a few steps forward, and asked nervously, "Is there any news about them?"

Ru Feng shook his head in frustration and said, "I just asked several ministers who entered the inner court at the same time as the master. They all said that after entering the inner court, the master's men were too fast and they couldn't keep up at all."

"In addition, this year there was plenty of rain, the grass and trees were lush, and there were many prey. They were quickly attracted by the prey all over the mountains. When they came to their senses, their master was no longer there."

Mu Jin frowned and nodded.

It had been a long time since dinner time, but Mu Jin had not returned to the tent to eat. Ruying, who was following her, stepped forward and advised:

"Miss Mu, you should go back to the tent to rest and have some food. If something really happened to the master in the inner court, he would definitely send a signal. No news at this time may be the best news."

"But if you get hungry, the master will hold us accountable."

Mu Jin thought about it and then went back to the tent with the maids.

Soon after Mu Jin returned to the tent, Madam Xie sent someone to deliver some delicious roasted venison. Mu Jin thought for a moment, then asked the maids to carefully select a box of snacks, and then walked towards the Lin Mansion's tent.

When Mrs. Xie heard that Mu Jin was coming to visit, she was extremely surprised, and she quickly asked someone to invite Miss Mu into the tent.

When Mu Jin saw Madam Xie, he bowed and said, "The venison is extremely delicious. I came here to thank you, Madam."

Madam Xie hurriedly helped Mu Jin up and said with a smile, "You are too polite. This little venison is not worth mentioning. I asked you to make a special trip."

Mu Jin smiled slightly and replied, "I am sorry for being rude. Thank you for your concern. This box of snacks is our Dongyue country's mandarin duck cake. I brought it specially for you to try."

Madam Xie looked at the snack box that Mu Jin handed over, and she couldn't help but feel happy. The two of them exchanged polite words again, and Mu Jin couldn't help but say, "I have something to ask Madam Xie."

Madam Xie pulled Mu Jin to sit down and poured her a cup of tea. "Is it related to the emperor and the young prince?"

Mu Jin nodded: "Madam Xie, to be honest, it's already so dark, and the Emperor and King Yi haven't left the inner court yet. I'm a little worried. Could you please ask General Xie if he has seen King Yi in the inner court?"

Madam Xie was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She smiled and said, "Hey~ I thought it was something. My husband just came back and I asked him about it. The emperor and King Yi made a bet inside and he refused to come out until he killed the black bear."

Even though Madam Xie tried her best to cover it up, Mu Jin could still sense the panic that flashed across her face. Mu Jin knew that Madam Xie had lied this time and seemed to be trying hard to cover up something.

This made Mu Jin's heart even more anxious, so she simply stopped hiding it and spoke frankly.

"Thank you, Madam. I can see that you are a kind person. Not only did you talk to me so much this afternoon, but you also worried that I was hungry and sent me venison."

"I won't hide it from you. When King Yi entered the inner court, he told me that there would definitely be trouble today. Do you know something? Can you tell me?"

Mrs. Xie looked at her in surprise, and then said, "I didn't expect he would tell you this." Then she smiled and said, "After all, this is a man's business. I know only a little about it. After all, it involves a lot of things, and it's not something that women like us can get involved in."

Madam Xie said this, which meant she was unwilling to speak. But it was precisely because of Madam Xie's attitude that Mu Jin's suspicion was confirmed. The inner court was not peaceful.

However, even the Lin family, the Xie family and many high-ranking officials in the court have left the inner court and come to the outer court. So what important matter in the inner court is binding Emperor Nan Gaozong and Su Yi?

However, looking at Mrs. Xie's appearance, the situation didn't seem to be that bad yet.

Mu Jin was thinking secretly, and Madam Xie looked at her, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she just spoke softly to Mu Jin.

"Miss Mu, why don't you go to sleep for a while? Maybe they will come out later."

How could Mu Jin feel sleepy at this moment? However, as the night deepened, even if she didn't want to fall asleep, she couldn't continue to disturb Madam Xie.

So she said, "Thank you, Madam Xie. If you know any news about King Yi, please send someone to tell me." Madam Xie nodded slightly. Mu Jin bowed again to express her gratitude and turned to leave.

Mrs. Xie saw Mu Jin's sad face and couldn't bear it, so she called her, "Miss Mu."

When Mu Jin heard Madam Xie's call, she thought that she had changed her mind and wanted to tell her what was going on in the backstage. A hint of joy welled up in her heart. She quickly turned around and looked at Madam Xie with anticipation.

"Miss Mu, I don't know what happened in the inner court, but based on my understanding of His Majesty and the young prince, they will definitely be fine."

Madam Xie took two steps forward, gently patted Mu Jin's hand, and comforted him, "Listen to my advice, don't think about anything, don't do anything, and get a good sleep tonight. The young prince asked you to wait for him outside, and he had a reason for saying so. If he was not sure, he would not have brought you to this place, don't you think?"

When Mu Jin heard what Madam Xie said, she couldn't help but be stunned. Madam Xie's words really enlightened her. Su Yi liked to take advantage of her with his mouth, but he was very nice to her on weekdays and never did anything without confidence.

If he really couldn't control the situation this time, he probably wouldn't leave her out there. Thinking of this, Mu Jin felt much more relieved. She smiled and said to Madam Xie, "Thank you very much, Madam. I will go back first."

Seeing that Mu Jin seemed to be much more relaxed, Madam Xie smiled and nodded to Mu Jin. After Mu Jin walked away, Madam Xie sighed and said to herself, "I hope everything goes well and Yu'er's spirit can rest in peace in heaven."
