Su Muxue watched Qing'er start talking to her, but she still looked dazed and absent-minded, as if she had not come back to her senses. It was not until she saw Mu Jin being woken up by Qing'er who walked in that he slowly stood up, walked directly to the bed and sat down, stretching out his hand to feel her pulse.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Su Muxue came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream when she heard Mu Jin ask her this. She asked tentatively, "A Jin?"

Mu Jin smiled slightly and replied softly: "It's me."

Seeing Mu Jin respond to her, Su Muxue finally confirmed that she was not dreaming, so she quickly propped herself up and sat up, and said to Mu Jin: "Ajin, have you returned to the capital?"

Mu Jin's eyes froze for a moment, and then he took a cup of warm water from Qing'er and handed it to Su Muxue, motioning her to drink it. After Su Muxue drank the water, she felt her throat moistened and she became a little more awake.

"Princess, this is Bianliang City in Southern Shu." Mu Jin said softly.

"Bianliang?" Su Muxue was shocked. She rubbed her still dizzy head with her hand and asked Mu Jin in confusion, "Why am I in Bianliang? I was in Shuyu Tower just now. Where are Zhao Yefan and others?"

As Su Muxue was speaking, she suddenly seemed to remember something important and her face suddenly turned panic-stricken.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Jin's hand tightly, speaking in an anxious tone.

"Ajin, has my brother come back with you? If he has, please take me to find him! Father... Father..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Muxue's voice began to choke and tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably.

When mentioning her father, Su Muxue's expression was full of worry and fear.

"Ajin, take me to see my brother quickly. Su Yuntian has evil ambitions and wants to seize the throne. He even teamed up with the people of Nangong Divine Sect to murder my father."

Seeing that Mu Jin's eyes seemed to be evasive and he didn't respond to her, she said anxiously.

"Ajin, please quickly ask my brother to bring his Moon Shadow Guards with me to the palace to see our father. The old doctor said that our father's health might be bad. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid that if it's too late, our father won't be able to hold on..."

After Su Muxue finished speaking, she hugged Mu Jin and started crying sadly.

Mu Jin was not really used to being hugged so tightly like this, but when she saw Su Muxue crying so heartbrokenly in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart, so much so that she didn't even have the thought of pushing her away.

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly raised her hand and gently patted Su Muxue's slightly trembling back, hoping to give her some comfort.

However, apart from this, Mu Jin really didn't know how else to talk to Su Muxue. After all, he learned from the news in the capital that Su Yu had died at the hands of Su Yuntian, and Su Yuntian had also legitimately ascended the throne of Dongyue Kingdom, becoming the youngest emperor in the history of Dongyue Kingdom.

"Ajin, please take me to find my brother."

"Princess, King Yi is in the palace now and he probably won't be back for a while." Mu Jin said with difficulty.

When Su Muxue heard that Su Yi was in the palace, she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face with her hands and said happily: "Did my brother come to the palace to see my father?"

Looking at Su Muxue like this, Mu Jin couldn't bear to speak, but she was not the kind of person who would procrastinate, so she just paused for a moment and then spoke to Su Muxue.

“Princess, what I said may be difficult for you to accept, but I don’t want to lie to you. This is the Princess’ Mansion in Bianliang City. It was given to your mother by Emperor Gaozong before she got married.

A month ago, Prince Zhao was afraid of political changes in Dongyue, so he asked someone to send you to Nanshu. You just arrived here yesterday.

Su Muxue shook her head in disbelief and said, "It's impossible. If I was sent here by Zhao Yefan, how could I not feel anything during this month?"

Mu Jin sighed heavily: "Prince Zhao knew that you would not want to leave Dongyue, so he ordered people to make a calming soup. Therefore, since you came to Nanshu for a month, you have been like sleeping and have no consciousness."

Hearing this, Su Muxue's face changed drastically, and she asked hurriedly: "How could Zhao Yefan do such a thing? How could he send me out of Dongyue when my father was in trouble? So how is my father now? Ah Jin, do you know where my father is?"

Mu Jin whispered to Su Muxue, "Princess, please accept my condolences."

Su Muxue was shocked when she heard this and stood there in a daze. After a moment, she came to her senses, held Mu Jin's hand tightly and asked with tears in her eyes.

"Ajin, what exactly did you mean by that?"

Mu Jin said: "Just before you were sent to Bianliang, your brother received a letter from the capital via carrier pigeon. Now Su Yuntian has ascended the throne and become the new generation emperor of Dongyue.

"And~" Mu Jin couldn't bear it, but he continued in a low voice to Su Muxue: "And on the night when Su Yuntian ascended the throne, the court of Dongyue Kingdom sounded the funeral bell - your father passed away."

Mu Jin spoke slowly, and every word hit Su Muxue's heart like a heavy hammer. Su Muxue felt dizzy and everything in front of her eyes went dark.

"Impossible... This is impossible!" She muttered to herself absentmindedly, "This must be fake, this is all a scam!"

Mu Jin supported Su Muxue and looked at her worriedly.

"Princess, I'm sorry..."

"I don't believe it! I want to go back to Dongyue Kingdom and ask clearly in person!" Su Muxue suddenly muttered to herself, trying to get out of bed in a panic.

Mu Jin held Su Muxue and said, "Princess, the current situation in Dongyue is unclear. If you go back rashly, won't you be walking into a trap?"

"Then I must go back even more! I don't believe that my father left like that. Maybe Su Yuntian deliberately spread false news!" Su Muxue said with tears streaming down her face, gritting her teeth.

Mu Jin hurriedly persuaded Su Muxue: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be exactly what Su Yuntian wants if the princess returns to the capital at this time? Why don't you wait here for a while? When your brother returns from the palace later, I believe he will work with you to deal with it."

Su Muxue knew that what Mu Jin said was true. If she returned to Dongyue on her own, she would undoubtedly fall into a trap. Thinking of this, she finally sat down like a deflated ball, crying silently.

Seeing this, Mu Jin could not help but feel sad. The letter she received from the capital two days ago, in addition to mentioning Su Yuntian's ascension to the throne and Su Yu's death, also mentioned that her father, brother and the entire Mu family had been thrown into prison by Su Yuntian.

At that time, she was no less sad than Su Muxue was now. However, she was no longer as impulsive as before, perhaps because she had experienced many changes, or perhaps because Su Yi had promised her that within half a month, after he had eliminated the ambitious people in Nanshu, he would take her back to Dongyue to rescue her father and brother.

In the past, Mu Jin never placed her hopes on others. Perhaps it was because Su Yi's eyes were too sincere that day that her restless heart gradually calmed down.
