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

Su Muxue was overjoyed when she saw Su Yi, whom she hadn't seen for many days. "Brother, you're finally back? Where have you been these days? It's been so hard to see you."

However, Su Yi did not respond to Su Muxue, but walked straight to Mu Jin, took her hand, and asked anxiously: "I heard that you were attacked in "Xiangmingju" today, are you injured?"

Mu Jin shook her head gently. Su Muxue was dissatisfied when she saw this: "Brother, you only care about asking if Ah Jin is injured, but you don't care about me, your own sister. How can you treat someone's brother like this?"

Mu Jin pulled her hand back awkwardly. Su Yi glanced at her and after confirming that she was not injured, he turned his gaze to Su Muxue.

"Didn't I tell you not to leave the house because the situation outside is chaotic recently? If you hadn't insisted on leaving the house this time, this wouldn't have happened today."

Su Muxue said unconcernedly, "What's the big deal? Ah Jin is a skilled martial artist. The assassin was taken down by Ah Jin before he even got close to us!"

Su Yi gave Su Muxue a sidelong glance and said, "You're still making up stories!"

Su Muxue pouted her lips, looking unhappy, and said jokingly, "How can you blame me for this? Ah Jin said that the disaster she and I suffered this time was all caused by your jealous cousin."

Su Yi glanced at Mu Jin hurriedly, and seeing that she looked normal, he glared at Su Muxue with a warning. Su Muxue also knew that this time it was because of her insistence on leaving the house, so she shrank her shoulders and shut her mouth.

Seeing the brother and sister like this, Mu Jin couldn't help but find it a little funny. But seeing that Su Yi looked unusually tired, she couldn't help but put away her smile and said to Su Yi.

"Today, when the princess and I were drinking tea in a teahouse, we met Lu Changwei's son. He said that Nan Wenhui was planning to join forces with the ministers to enter the palace and force the emperor to abdicate. You should be careful."

Su Yi sneered and said, "Recently, the Lin family and their followers have spread rumors in various counties in Nanshu, saying that it is not legitimate for me, a prince of Dongyue, to serve as the regent of Nanshu. There are even rumors that I have imprisoned the emperor, and some even say that I may have killed the emperor."

Mu Jin frowned: "Do the people believe it?"

Su Yi replied: "Why not? In the eyes of the common people, the Lin family was the hero who helped my grandfather establish his kingdom."

"So~" Mu Jin suddenly understood what Lu Changwei's son meant by "everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it" in the teahouse today. She suddenly looked at Su Yi and said, "Are they planning to use public opinion to cover up the fact that they are about to rebel?"

Su Yi pinched Mu Jin's face and said with a smile: "Ah Jin is really smart." Mu Jin shook off Su Yi's hand and said in a scolding voice: "It's already this hour, and you're still joking with me."

"How can the Lin family be so shameless?" Su Muxue couldn't help but get angry when she heard Su Yi's words: "How dare you throw dirty water on my brother."

Su Yi said nonchalantly: "They have all rebelled. It's either you or me. What's the big deal about throwing a basin of dirty water?"

Su Muxue asked worriedly. "So what should we do now?"

"Stay unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances." Su Yi said calmly, "They just want to create public pressure and enter the palace to kill me and my grandfather. In the end, Nan Wenhui will be the only royal family member left in Nan Shu. Then, in her name, let Lin Zhengyong succeed to the throne and change the surname of Nan Shu to Lin."

Su Muxue asked doubtfully: "Do they have such great abilities?"

Su Yi sneered, "Lin Zhengyong is the general of Southern Shu. Half of the soldiers in the entire Southern Shu are from the Lin family army. Although most of them are at the border, it is easy for the court to discover them if they are transferred. So in the past few years, he has secretly recruited soldiers and expanded his military strength and stationed troops in Nanyan Mountain."

Su Muxue was puzzled: "So Grandpa is just going to watch the Lin family grow stronger and stronger and do nothing?"

Mu Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Emperor Gaozong is so lax about the power of the Lin family. Is he planning to first promote it and then suppress it?"

Su Yi smiled and said nothing.

Su Muxue asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by first praise and then suppress?"

Mu Jin smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Emperor Gaozong intends to give the Lin family a taste of sweetness first. After all, Lin Zhengyong is Nan Wenhui's son. How can a son raised by such an arrogant mother be a good person?"

"This power is growing, and Emperor Gaozong has no children. Naturally, he will think that the royal family is afraid of him and relies on him, so he will be careless and become more arrogant. When he becomes arrogant to a certain extent and reveals his true colors, Emperor Gaozong will wipe out the Lin family in one fell swoop."

Su Yi looked at Mu Jin and smiled approvingly, and Su Muxue nodded as if she had been enlightened.

"No!" Su Muxue seemed to remember something and said, "But isn't Grandpa seriously ill in the Dragon's Saliva Palace? How can he wipe out the Lin family in one fell swoop?"

Su Yi and Mu Jin both glanced at Su Muxue's puzzled expression, then looked at each other knowingly and smiled, without saying anything else.

Su Muxue looked at the two people opposite with suspicion. Just as she was about to say something, a guard hurried over and knelt down to report.

"Your Majesty, this is bad! Lin Zhengyong is leading a large army and is approaching the outskirts of Bianliang City. It looks like they are going to attack the city!"

The three of them felt depressed when they heard this. Lin Zhengyong couldn't wait any longer...

Su Yi hurriedly called the old housekeeper to take Mu Jin and Su Muxue to hide in the underground dark room, but Mu Jin refused to stay in the Princess's Mansion: "I will go back to the palace with you."

Mu Jin suddenly said this, which was beyond Su Yi's expectation. He raised the corners of his lips and smiled at Mu Jin: "What? Are you worried about my safety?"

Mu Jin gave Su Yi a cold look, sneered, ignored him, and walked out the door.

Seeing this, Su Muxue couldn't help but clamor to go with the two of them.

Su Yi and Uncle Kun exchanged glances, and Uncle Kun immediately stepped forward to hold Su Muxue. Seeing Su Yi and Mu Jin walking away, Su Muxue became anxious.

"Uncle Kun, please let me go. It's too late. My brother and Ajin will be gone soon."

The old housekeeper said in a deep voice: "Princess, to prevent any accidents, it is better for you to follow me to the dark room to rest for a while, so as to prevent the rebels from attacking the mansion later."

"The young prince and Miss Mu are both skilled in martial arts. If they encounter danger, they can still protect themselves. However, if they bring the princess with them, they may need to divide their attention to protect the princess."

When Su Muxue heard this, she understood that it was true. She couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed and hated herself for not being able to learn some martial arts when she was in Dongyue because she was afraid of hardship. Otherwise, maybe she could help her royal brother like Mu Jin did today.

As Su Yi and Mu Jin arrived at the palace, a burst of thunder-like and dense horse hoof sounds resounded through the sky, coming from outside the palace gate from far away.

Lin Zhengyong led his men and horses to rush to the palace, and when he saw the palace gate wide open, he suddenly became suspicious. The open palace gate seemed to be a direct signal of "luring the enemy into a trap".

The crowd of horses immediately tightened the reins and stopped moving forward.

Deputy General Lin He rode forward and said to Lin Zhengyong, "General, this is quite strange! This wide open palace gate might be a trap... Should we let some people in to test it out before making a decision?"

However, Lin Zhengyong raised his hand to interrupt Lin He's words. He snorted coldly: "Now that we are here, do you think we have any way out? In today's battle, we only need to win, not lose!"

After Lin Zhengyong finished speaking, his face was stern, his eyes were fierce, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Today, the bandits in Dongyue are rampant and are harming the ruler of Nanshu. All generals, listen to my order! Follow me into the palace, exterminate the bandits in Dongyue, and avenge the emperor!" After speaking, Lin Zhengyong led his troops straight into the palace.
