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

Hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Jin was filled with astonishment and disbelief that Su Yi was able to succeed the throne of Southern Shu all because of her. She opened her mouth to speak, but her throat was dry and she could hardly speak.

Su Yi saw Mu Jin suddenly stiffen, so he slowly let go of Mu Jin. Looking at Mu Jin's stunned expression, he curled his lips and jokingly said, "Are you moved to the point of being stupid by me?"

Mu Jin felt that Su Yi was indeed a bit of a downer sometimes. She was indeed touched, but Su Yi's words helped her recover from the shock.

Mu Jin said hypocritically: "Who knows if you really took over the throne of Southern Shu because of me?"

"From the way you get along with your grandfather, it doesn't seem like you have no intention of taking over the throne of Southern Shu."

Su Yi smiled and shook his head at Mu Jin's hypocrisy.

"Yes, I did a lot of ridiculous things, hoping that Grandpa would be disappointed in me, but he knew me and had a calm talk with me."

"He said that if I really didn't like the throne, he wouldn't force me. It's just that Nan Shu was forced to struggle by the aristocratic families, and he had no children, so he asked me to help him. He has been old in recent years and is really unable to do many things. I couldn't bear it, so I planned to help him get rid of those aristocratic families with wolfish ambitions, and then let my grandfather choose a royal family member from the other branches to inherit the throne."

"I took you back to Southern Shu this time because I knew that my grandfather had never given up on letting me inherit the throne of Southern Shu, and I needed the supreme power of Southern Shu to protect your life, so I accepted it with reluctance."

Mu Jin was shocked by Su Yi's words again. Before she could say anything, she saw Su Yi take out a letter from his arms and said to her.

"I know you are a heartless person, but my life is doomed to fail me because of you. What can I do?" Su Yi stuffed the letter into Mu Jin's hand.

"You will understand how the king treats you after reading the letter your father sent you."

"A letter from home?" Mu Jin looked at Su Yi in disbelief and asked nervously, "Are you talking about the letter my father wrote to me?"

Mu Jin asked carefully, fearing that she had heard it wrong.

Su Yi said: "You heard it right, it was a letter sent to you by General Mu."

"How could it be?" Mu Jin said, and quickly opened the envelope with a serious expression and trembling hands, and took out two thin sheets of letter paper from it. Looking at the familiar words, her eyes instantly turned red.

A tear fell on the letter paper in Mu Jin's hand. She cried with joy, still looking at Su Yi as if in a dream.

"Did my father really write it to me? Didn't you ask someone to imitate my father's handwriting to write it to me in order to deceive me?"

Su Yi raised his hand and gently stroked Mu Jin's head: "Silly! I promised you that I would protect the safety of your family. As a man, how could I break my promise to you?"

Mu Jin smiled, sniffed, and quickly read the letter in his hand.

This letter from Mu Weihou to Mu Jin seemed to be written in a hurry, with the words in sloppy handwriting. It was slightly different from the strong and neat letters that Mu Weihou wrote to her when she was still in the capital, but the familiar handwriting still made Mu Jin feel close to it.

The content of the letter from Marquis Mu Wei was simply to report safety to Mu Jin. The letter briefly stated that after Su Yuntian took control of the government of Dongyue and killed Su Yu to successfully inherit the throne, he fabricated evidence of the Mu family's crimes and directly launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Mu family.

After the Mu family's Mu family army returned to Beijing, Su Yu took back the military power and changed it beyond recognition. Many of Su Yu and Su Yuntian's men were mixed in, and most of the Mu family army was useless.

After Su Yu fell ill and Su Yuntian became the regent, he listed countless evidences of the Mu family's crimes to deceive the people of Dongyue, and finally almost killed them all.

It's just that perhaps Mu Weihou and Mu Yan had other uses for Su Yuntian, so he just imprisoned them in the Tai Prison without killing them further. This also gave Su Yi more time to rescue Mu Weihou and his son.

In the letter, Mu Weihou mentioned that he had been in private contact with Su Yi since he returned to Dongyue.

Marquis Mu Wei secretly united with other court officials who were dissatisfied with Su Yuntian, as well as some soldiers who were still lurking in the Mu family army under the control of the royal family.

On the surface, those soldiers had already severed ties with Mu Weihou and his son, and even fabricated some evidence of their crimes in order to pretend to surrender, so that they could continue to stay in the Mu family army that was taken over by the imperial power. Doing so was nothing more than waiting for the day when they could cooperate with Mu Weihou from inside and outside.

In addition to these, there are also the Moon Shadow Guards that Su Yi left behind in the capital.

Although the number of troops Su Yi left in the capital was small, they were also the strongest elite soldiers in the Moon Shadow Guard. They were especially good at lurking and gathering information.

Su Yuntian thought that the Mu family, which was framed by him and was on the verge of a dead end, would have no way out unless they obeyed him. However, he did not expect that the Mu family army and Su Yi had already prepared for this day.

On the day when Su Yuntian ascended the throne, the main forces in the capital were sent to the vicinity of the imperial palace to maintain stability, so the forces guarding the prison instantly became weak. As a result, the Yueying Guards and the former members of the Mu Family Army easily killed the officers and soldiers in the prison and successfully rescued Mu Weihou and his son.

Marquis Mu Wei also said in the letter that the Mu family has now officially fallen out with the royal family of Dongyue. Although they escaped from the capital successfully, Su Yuntian's men have been chasing them relentlessly. However, the Mu family is not a pushover and has never let Su Yuntian's men gain any benefits.

It is not difficult to see from the lines of the letter that Mu Weihou sneered at the imperial power of Su Yuntian. Although he did not explicitly say that he wanted to rebel, he would definitely not continue to submit to the Dongyue imperial power of Su Yuntian.

Mu Jin knew that the Mu family had been loyal for generations, especially Mu Weihou. When Su Yu had suppressed the Mu family army so much, he relied on his loyal heart, gritted his teeth, and thought about how to tighten his belt and hold on to Yanmen Pass and fight hard against the Beiqi people.

Now the letter contains words that are considered "treasonous" by the world, which is no different from rebellion.

At the end of the letter, Mu Weihou mentioned that he was now staying in a very safe place with his old followers, and asked Mu Jin not to worry about his and Mu Yan's safety.

She also mentioned that Su Yi was a person worthy of her trust and asked her to cherish him and take care of her health. The letter ended here.

After seeing the last sentence, Mu Jin looked at Su Yi somewhat unnaturally, then folded the letter in his hand with a guilty conscience.

Su Yi could guess roughly what Mu Weihou had said to Mu Jin, and he could also guess why Mu Jin felt guilty, but he also knew that Mu Jin was a person who cared about his reputation, so he did not ask what Mu Jin said in the letter.

"Now, you don't have to worry about the safety of your father and brother, right?"

Su Yi smiled and said, "I returned home early today because I wanted to hand your father's letter to you as soon as possible, so that some people would not be unhappy all day long."

"I don't want to go back to the mansion. Some people are still speaking coldly to me and say they want to leave me."

Su Yi sighed: "As expected~ Only villains and women are difficult to raise."
