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

Seeing that Lin Zhengyong was dead, the remaining soldiers of the Lin family army could not help but flee around the palace, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being killed one by one by the Xie family army and the Yueying Guards.

Mu Jin stood beside the grandfather and grandson, gazing at the hellish scene downstairs, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of a family may seem like just a matter of moments, but in fact there were already signs of it.

As relatives of the emperor and important officials of the court, the Lin family is so arrogant that they even have a rebellious heart and try to snatch things that do not belong to them. How can the royal family tolerate them!

The Lin family was extremely stupid. Their arrogance over the years made them mistakenly believe that Emperor Gaozong indulged them because he was afraid of their power.

However, they never expected that Emperor Gaozong would just watch them jumping around and plotting rebellion with a cold eye, treating them like clowns. When he got tired of them, he would just kill them all!

After all, how could anyone who could ascend the throne be incompetent? It was a pity that the Lin family was blinded by power and failed to see the interests involved, and actually sent themselves to the guillotine.

From then on, the Lin family, a prominent family that had ruled Southern Shu for two dynasties and enjoyed a glorious hundred years, disappeared.

The atmosphere inside the Ambergris Palace was different from the strong smell of death outside the Palace. At this moment, Emperor Gaozong of Nan's face was filled with irrepressible joy.

He looked at Su Yi and Mu Jin in front of him with a smile in his eyes, his heart filled with relief.

For the past month, he had been living alone in Cheng'en Palace, away from the hustle and bustle of the court, under the pretext of being seriously injured.

Every day, he either plays chess with himself, waters the flowers and plants with a bucket of clear spring water, or whispers to the portrait of the deceased queen. His life is easy and comfortable.

When Su Yi stepped into Cheng'en Hall today and told him that the net could be closed tonight, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He couldn't wait to say, "If it's two days later, Grandpa would have thought you were gone."

Tonight, he stood in front of the Ambergris Palace and witnessed Su Yi teasing Lin Zhengyong like a trapped beast. He couldn't help but feel gratified. When he saw the heroic scene of Su Yi and Mu Jin cooperating tacitly and killing the enemies as if they were in an empty space, he was even more delighted.

He kept sighing in his heart: Mu Jin is really good and is worthy of being his grandson.

"Miss Mu." Seeing that Emperor Gaozong had called her by name, Mu Jin stepped forward and asked, "Does the Emperor have anything to tell me?"

Nan Gaozong smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Miss Mu, there is no need to be polite in front of me. I just want to ask you, are you willing to be the queen?"

Hearing what Emperor Nan Gaozong said, Mu Jin paused, frowned slightly, and glanced sideways at Su Yi. But before she could speak, she saw Su Yi walking towards Emperor Gaozong with some displeasure.

"You old man! Just speak frankly and don't scare our Ah Jin."

Emperor Gaozong paused for a moment, then quickly explained with a smile: "Miss Mu, please don't misunderstand me. The queen I'm talking about is not my own queen, but Yi'er's queen."

"I plan to issue an imperial decree tomorrow to officially enthrone Yi'er as the new emperor of Southern Shu. I also thought that it would be better to hold his coronation ceremony and the ceremony of enthroning the empress together, which would be more grand and festive, and a double happiness.

"These days, I have seen that you are a very good woman. Although my grandson has many shortcomings, there are only two good things about him, that is, he has good taste and treats you well. What do you think? You don't have anyone you like at the moment, so why don't you take him in reluctantly?"

Mu Jin felt a little helpless about the grandfather and grandson in front of her, but she still replied respectfully: "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. King Yi is very good, but I am a mediocre girl and I am not worthy of him."

Furthermore, marriage has always been a matter of parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words. Now my father and brother are in trouble thousands of miles away, and I am worried and have no intention of thinking about my own marriage.

This was a rejection. Emperor Gaozong glanced at Mu Jin and then at Su Yi, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Emperor Gaozong looked at Mu Jin, then glared at Su Yi, and a feeling of loss inevitably welled up in his heart.

However, he also caught some meaning from Mu Jin's words, as if Mu Jin was not completely without feelings for Su Yi.

But Mu Jin is worried about her father and brother who are trapped in Dongyue. If Mu Jin's father and brother are rescued, then who knows, Mu Jin might really be willing to marry his good grandson.

Emperor Nanzong stroked his beard and thought, "It's okay. I also heard that your father and brother are now imprisoned in Dongyue Prison. But from what I know about Yi'er, he will definitely not watch the family of his beloved suffer. Maybe there is a way to save them and it is being implemented."

Seeing Emperor Gaozong calling her "beloved" all the time, Mu Jin felt a little ashamed of his straightforwardness, but then he continued.

"When Yi'er inherits the great cause, let our soldiers from Nan Shu go to Dong Yue and rescue your father and brother. This is not a difficult task, so you don't need to worry too much."

Mu Jin was surprised that Emperor Gaozong was willing to break the precedent of Southern Shu not starting a war with other countries for her. She was so moved that her eyes couldn't help but warm up.

Mu Jin knelt down and thanked the emperor, saying, "I really cannot bear the great favor that the emperor has bestowed on my Mu family."

Su Yi and Mu Jin knelt down, and quickly went over to help Mu Jin up: "Silly! No need to be polite in front of your grandfather."

Mu Jin gently turned sideways and pulled his hand back from Su Yi's. Seeing this, Emperor Gaozong laughed and said, "Yier is right. We are all family. There is no need to be polite. You don't need to feel burdened by this matter."

"I sent the soldiers of Southern Shu to conquer Dongyue not entirely for your father and brother. The reason is that the Southern Shu army has not been involved in war for decades. As time goes by, I am also deeply afraid that they will become lazy and will be at a loss if the foreign enemy attacks."

"This expedition is a good opportunity to use the land of Dongyue to sharpen their fighting spirit and strengthen their combat power."

"What's more, that Su Yuntian kid's throne is neither legitimate nor natural. Now is the time to let Yi'er go over and settle the accounts together, and give justice to the people of Dongyue."

Mu Jin knew that Emperor Gaozong said this to her because he didn't want her to bear such a heavy burden. After all, which country doesn't want to maintain stability and prosperity for a long time? War not only costs a lot of money, but also brings countless casualties. No country will easily start a war unless it is forced to do so.

"All right!" Emperor Gaozong said, "You and Yi'er have worked hard tonight. I know you are tired. Go back and rest first."

Mu Jin bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

Su Yi and Mu Jin slowly walked out of the Ambergris Palace. Outside the palace, the devastation that had been there before had been removed. All that was left was the palace servants bringing clean water to wash away the bloodstains left on the ground over and over again.

The air was still filled with a strong smell of blood, but they all knew that when the sun rose tomorrow and the warm sunlight fell on the earth, everything would return to normal.

This scene tonight, which is like hell on earth, will eventually be forgotten by people as time goes by.
