Mu Jin looked at Su Yi in surprise and asked, "How do you know that I'm unhappy?"

But as soon as she said this, she couldn't help feeling that she was asking unnecessary questions. She thought that even if Su Yi was not by her side every day, someone would tell Su Yi about her.

Seeing Su Yi looking at him with a smile, Mu Jin changed the subject somewhat awkwardly.

"You have always been in contact with my father, why didn't you tell me? Seeing me worrying about the safety of my father and brother, you are very happy, right?"

Su Yi continued to smile and said, "They say women are fickle, and it's true. Just a moment ago, you were so moved that you wanted to marry me, but now you want to settle accounts with me. I should have been anxious watching you, hiding it from you, and not even giving you this letter from your father."

"Who must marry you?" Mu Jin muttered softly, "Although you have always asked people to help my father and brother, I am very grateful for this great kindness, but you should have let me know that you have contact with my father earlier."

"It's not that I intentionally hid it from you." Su Yi explained.

"After Su Yuntian returned from his diplomatic mission to Beiqi, the Mu family army was accused of treason. At that time, your father and I speculated that it was very likely that Su Yuntian had joined forces with the Beiqi people."

Su Yi continued to look at Mu Jin and said, "The situation in Southern Shu had changed at that time, and I couldn't leave my grandfather alone. General Mu didn't want the world to misunderstand him, so he refused to go to Southern Shu with me. I had no choice but to make a deal with the old man from Dongyue against my will."

"It also bought some time for your father to resign so that I could return to Southern Shu to deal with the matters here. I wanted to wait until the matters here were dealt with before returning to Dongyue to deal with Su Yuntian."

"But you also know that South Shu and East Yue are thousands of miles apart. No matter how I plan, I can't control many variables."

"So, before General Mu escaped from the clutches of the Dongyue royal family, he also knew this."

"He wanted me not to tell you about his and my plan first, fearing that you might not be able to accept it. So I can only let you follow me without worry, and promise to protect your father and brother's lives."

"I didn't expect you, a woman, to not believe me. You spend the whole day thinking about how to leave me and stab me in the heart."

Su Yi touched his chest, glanced at Mu Jin and said, "Now my heart has been hurt by you, and I don't know how some people will compensate me in the future."

Every word Su Yi said made sense, which made Mu Jin, who was usually eloquent in front of Su Yi, feel guilty and didn't know how to respond.

"Then how do you want me to repay you?" Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi and hurriedly added, "Except for me and the women in your harem to serve you together."

"Where are the women in my harem? Stop accusing me."

"Even if you don't have any now, as an emperor, you will definitely have three thousand beauties in your harem in the future."

"Is this why you rejected me?"

Su Yi's eyes lit up, and he said as if he had discovered a new world: "Then I will tell you clearly that there will only be you, Mu Jin, in my harem. I will not allow other women to enter my harem. Will you accept me?"

When Mu Jin heard Su Yi promise her so seriously, her heart skipped a beat again. However, it seemed that there were still many things unresolved, and she still didn't know how to respond to the feelings Su Yi gave her.

Mu Jin changed the subject and said, "What did you mean when you told me that we were sending 100,000 troops to attack Dongyue?"

Of course Su Yi knew Mu Jin’s little thoughts, but there were indeed many things waiting for them to do now.

Su Yi wanted Mu Jin to be with him willingly, and not because she was moved or forced by him, so he did not continue to pester her and force Mu Jin to respond to his feelings today.

Su Yi said solemnly, "On the day Su Yuntian ascended the throne, he discovered that your father and brother had fled the capital. He was so angry that he immediately reached a consensus with Emperor Beiqi who had gone to attend his coronation ceremony, and jointly sent troops to the Southern Shu Kingdom."

"What?" Mu Jin heard Su Yi say this and asked quickly, "When will they send out the troops?"

"Five days ago!" Su Yi said.

Mu Jin was silent for a moment, then looked at Su Yi and asked.

"My father will join you in dealing with the East Vietnam Beiqi's military deployment this time, right?"

Su Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How do you understand?"

Mu Jin replied, "You just told me that Daddy is with his old subordinates, even though they are not many in number, and the words in his letter reveal his dissatisfaction with Su Yuntian. Since you are helping our Mu family so much, how can our Mu family ignore the fact that Dongyue and Beiqi are attacking Nanshu?"

Su Yi nodded, "That's right! General Mu is now stationed at the border of Southern Shu with the Mu family army he has gathered."

"General Mu doesn't want to support Su Yuntian, nor does he want to establish his own imperial power, so he has already stood on my side."

"Is your plan to unify the three kingdoms one day?" Mu Jin asked with an idea in his mind.

Su Yi didn't expect Mu Jin to think of this so quickly.

Su Yi sneered and said, "Why not? The fact that we in Nanshu have not initiated wars with other countries in recent years does not mean that we are weak. Now that they have taken the initiative to provoke trouble, we will not be polite to them!"

Mu Jin was not surprised by Su Yi's admission. She should have expected this to happen.

"You asked my Mu family to station troops at your Nanshu border. Aren't you worried that the weakened Mu family army will not be as strong as before?"

Su Yi smiled and said, "How can a daughter be so unconfident about her father and brother? Be careful that your father will hear you and give you a lesson."

"I'm not unconfident in my father and brother's fighting ability. I'm just, I'm just making a metaphor."

Seeing Mu Jin anxiously explaining himself, Su Yi found it funny. He said with a smile, "I'm not going to complain to your father or brother. Look how anxious you are."

"Of course I believe in the strength of the Mu family army. Even if the Mu family army is not as numerous as before, I believe that General Mu is still no ordinary man when it comes to defeating the enemy. As long as they are no longer as blindly loyal to the royal family as before, we will have a good chance of winning."

Of course Mu Jin understood how powerful the Mu family army was. If Marquis Mu Wei had any intention of rebellion, it might be that Dong Yue had already changed his name to the Mu family.

"Well, it's getting late,"

Su Yi stood up and said to Mu Jin, "You rest first. I still have a lot of things to discuss with the ministers. In two days, I will lead my troops to the border to meet General Mu."

Seeing Su Yi was about to leave, Mu Jin quickly said, "I want to go to the border with you too!"

Su Yi raised his hand and pinched Mu Jin's face, smiling: "Even if I don't agree, you won't go? Don't worry, the day after tomorrow, we will set out together to the border to meet the enemy and kill Su Yuntian and Bei Qi Gou without leaving a single piece of armor!"

After Su Yi finished speaking, he said goodbye to Mu Jin and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Looking at Su Yi's departing back, Mu Jin seemed to have thought of something, and she took two quick steps forward to the gate of the courtyard.

"Su Yi!"

Hearing Mu Jin calling his name, Su Yi stopped, turned around and looked at Mu Jin with a smile: "What else?"

Mu Jin blushed and said shyly: "When everything is settled, if you really don't want to take concubines in this life, and I am the only one in the harem, then I am willing to be with you!"

After Mu Jin finished speaking, she closed the gate with a "bang". Her heart was beating wildly inside the gate. She found that even though she was such a clean and neat person, there would be a day when she would become as timid as a little girl. She was a little angry that she seemed to be going backwards as she got older.

Su Yi, who was outside the door, was also confused when he heard what Mu Jin said to him. He curled up the corners of his mouth and shouted towards the gate of Mu Jin's courtyard: "I'll wait for you!"
