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

After dinner, Su Yi returned to the Princess's Mansion from the palace.

Thinking that Su Muxue might be waiting for him to return home at this moment, he felt even more depressed.

Thinking of Su Yu's death was like a mountain pressing on his heart, making his steps as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Su Yu is by no means a good husband, but he is definitely a good father to him and Su Muxue.

That year, when he sent Nan Yu's spirit back to Southern Shu Kingdom according to Nan Yu's last wish, when he learned about the entanglement between Su Yi and Nan Yu, he vowed to no longer care about Su Yi.

But when he heard about Su Yu's death, he was in disbelief at first, and then when he suddenly realized it, he felt like a piece was missing in his heart.

From that moment on, you suddenly realized that from now on, he and Su Muxue would not only lose their mother, but also their father.

He thought he had lost his affection for his father when he was ten years old.

However, when he learned that Su Yu had passed away, he locked himself in the room.

When he opened the door the next day, he had become the rational and decisive King Yi again.

However, no one knew that he had sat quietly in his room the whole night without sleeping because of Su Yu's death.

In the end, Su Yi walked into Su Muxue's yard with heavy steps.

Su Muxue, who had been calmed down by Mu Jin, couldn't help but cry uncontrollably the moment she saw Su Yi.

Su Muxue hugged Su Yi and cried uncontrollably, constantly asking Su Yi to return to Dongyue and kill Su Yuntian to avenge Su Yu.

Su Yi patiently comforted her for a long time before Su Muxue gradually calmed down. Perhaps she was tired of crying, and she finally fell asleep in Su Yi's arms with tears on her face.

After Su Yi carried Su Muxue back to the bed and carefully wiped the tears from her face, he stood beside Su Muxue's bed, looking at his sister who had been loved by everyone since childhood for a long time. Then he called the maid to watch over her carefully before leaving tiredly.

Mu Jin sat in the pavilion in the yard. The sky was starry tonight and there was a cool breeze. Although there was only a crescent moon in the sky, it was still a beautiful sight.

She picked up the scented tea that Qing'er had prepared for her on the table, took a sip, and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky in a daze until she heard footsteps beside her, then she turned around to look.

Su Yi's figure looked particularly tall in the moonlight, and there was a hint of tenderness and concern in his eyes.

Mu Jin pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly: "Have you coaxed Mu Xue?"

Su Yi nodded and said in a low voice: "She must be tired of crying and has fallen asleep now."

Mu Jin nodded slightly and fell silent again, his eyes still fixed on the crescent moon.

Su Yi walked over to Mu Jin and sat down. "Do you miss your father and brother?" Mu Jin was startled when Su Yi asked this, then nodded and continued to remain silent.

Su Yi said softly: "I told you that I have arranged people in the capital. No matter what, I still have the ability to protect your family's safety. You don't have to worry."

"I'm just afraid that something unexpected will happen." Mu Jin turned to look at Su Yi, and seeing that Su Yi seemed to be confident, he continued to ask, "When did you start asking people to protect my family?"

Su Yi smiled slightly: "I don't remember, maybe it's because I started to like you. I always naturally pay more attention to the people around you. I think if they are not good, you might be sad. I just want to see you smile and do what you want to do without any worries. I don't want to see you sad."

When Mu Jin heard Su Yi say this, a sweet feeling suddenly arose in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but relax a little.

"Today, there is news from Dongyue, and I was just about to tell you." Su Yi's face suddenly became serious: "Su Yuntian has secret dealings with the emperor of Beiqi."

Mu Jin was startled. When Su Yi mentioned this, she remembered that when Su Yuntian returned from Beiqi as a peace envoy, he put the accusation of treason on her father and brother. It was actually the people of Beiqi who provided evidence to Su Yuntian in order to prove that the Mu family had rebelled. It was only later that Su Yi mediated and avoided the Mu family being charged with treason.

Seeing that Mu Jin did not reply, Su Yi continued: "Maybe Su Yuntian has had dealings with Bei Qi for a long time, maybe they reached some agreement from the beginning."

Mu Jin sneered, "Agreement? I think Su Yuntian just ceded the land to Beiqi and asked Beiqi to help him win the throne. But now that he has successfully won the throne, why would he still have dealings with Beiqi?"

Su Yi lowered his gaze and said, "It's just to unite to deal with the Southern Shu Kingdom."

Mu Jin looked at Su Yi in surprise: "They want to deal with the Southern Shu Kingdom? How is that possible?"

If Dongyue and Beiqi join forces, it will indeed enhance the strength of both sides. However, Nanshu is a powerful country, and it will not be easy for Dongyue and Beiqi to capture Nanshu.

The Southern Shu Kingdom had been strong for decades, its people had lived and worked in peace and contentment, and its government was apparently stable. When Su Yu seized the throne, he was able to do so with the support of the Southern Shu Kingdom. The two countries had lived in peace for decades. How could Su Yuntian take the initiative to provoke a dispute as soon as he ascended the throne?

Su Yi said with a hint of bitterness in his words, "Maybe Su Yuntian can't swallow his anger because he can't get Ah Jin." Mu Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Su Yi say this.

Su Yi laughed and continued, "Or maybe, they received news that my grandfather was seriously ill, and the noble families of Southern Shu were secretly stirring up trouble. They felt that there was an opportunity and wanted to divide up Southern Shu together."

Mu Jin frowned slightly, thought carefully about what Su Yi said, then nodded and said, "What you said does make sense. Judging from Su Yuntian's ambition, the day when he takes the initiative to start a dispute with the Southern Shu Kingdom will come sooner or later."

"However, starting a war right now may not be the best time for the Southern Shu Kingdom. I heard that Nan Wenhui has recently teamed up with several important officials and has been going to the palace to make trouble with you every day. If you cannot quickly stabilize the internal affairs of Southern Shu, I'm afraid the situation will become increasingly difficult to control..." Mu Jin's tone revealed a hint of worry.

"You don't have to worry about it." Su Yi stroked her hair gently and comforted her, "I'm not afraid of them making trouble with me. I'm just afraid that they won't make trouble. As long as they can't hold back and dare to act rashly, then I will close the net and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Mu Jin looked at Su Yi's confident look and couldn't help asking, "It seems like everything is under your control?"

The corners of Su Yi's mouth slightly lifted up, outlining a faint smile: "It's almost time. The Lin family has gathered troops and horses and is waiting at Nanyan Mountain, fifty miles outside of Bianliang City."

When Su Yi talked about the Lin family's plan to rebel, it seemed like he was talking about something insignificant.

Mu Jin asked in confusion, "We all know where their nest is, and you still want to sit here and chat with them?"

"If we don't do anything, they will become more arrogant, and the more arrogant they are, the more likely they will reveal their true colors." Su Yi looked at Mu Jin gently and continued, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. We have other preparations. But Bianliang has been in turmoil recently, and Mu Xue can't sit still, so you'd better stay in the mansion."

Mu Jin was also a person who couldn't sit still, but she suddenly didn't want Su Yi to worry about such a trivial matter, so she nodded in agreement.

Su Yi raised the corners of his mouth gently and smiled at Mu Jin: "This time, after I have dealt with these rats, I will take you back to Dongyue to reunite with your father and brother."
