When Su Yu heard Mu Jin's request for a divorce, he did not speak immediately. He stared at Mu Jin.

Seeing that Su Yu didn't say anything, Su Muxue was a little worried about Mu Jin. She gently pushed Su Yu and said, "Father, please say something."

Su Yu gave Su Muxue a warning look, signaling her not to get involved. He turned around and continued to look at Mu Jin, and suddenly smiled.

"Stand up and talk. Why do you want to divorce the third brother? I heard that you begged Marquis Mu Wei to arrange this marriage for me."

Mu Jin stood up and looked up at Su Yu.

"Back then, when I was young and ignorant, I begged my father to ask the emperor to grant me a marriage. My father loved me so much that he couldn't do anything about me. I beg the emperor to forgive me."

Hearing Mu Jin's reply, Su Yu's voice became a little cold.

"Mu Jin, you know that divorce is no joke. Is it the Third Brother's idea or yours? Have you thought it through?"

Mu Jin raised her head gently and said, "Your Majesty, the divorce was decided by Prince Yun and I together. I have been married to Prince Yun for three years and have no children. It was I who asked for the marriage, and Prince Yun has no feelings for me. Instead of torturing each other, it is better to set each other free."

"You are my royal daughter-in-law. If you ask for a divorce, do you know what impact this will have on the royal reputation? Will General Mu let you do what you want this time?"

"My father is not aware of this matter. I think he loves me and will support my decision. I am willing to bear all the consequences of the divorce. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."

"What a person who is willing to bear all the consequences alone."

Seeing that Su Yi was about to get angry, Su Muxue quickly pulled Su Yi's sleeve, fearing that he would punish Mu Jin in anger.

Su Yu ignored Su Muxue. He brushed away Su Muxue's hand and turned to look at Mu Jin.

"General Mu used his military merit to get you this marriage. What are you going to use to exchange it for a divorce? Since the marriage was obtained through military merit, then the divorce should also be exchanged for something that benefits the country and the people."

Mu Jin frowned slightly. From what Su Yu said, it seemed that he was unwilling to agree to her divorce from Su Yuntian.

Mu Jin knew that Su Yu had been on guard against the collusion between the Mu family army and Su Yuntian in recent years. Now that she had asked for a divorce, Su Yu should be the one who supported her the most. She couldn't understand why Su Yu was still trying to stop her.

Seeing that Mu Jin did not respond for a long time, Su Yu thought that Mu Jin had backed down, so he said another sentence.

"Mu Jin, now that you understand, do you still want to divorce?"

Mu Jin looked at Su Yu, then slowly knelt down in front of Su Yu.

"My wish for a divorce will not change. But I do not want my father to worry about me anymore. I am willing to bear the conditions for the divorce myself, and I hope Your Majesty will fulfill them."

When Su Yu heard that Mu Jin was going to bear the responsibility himself, he glanced at Mu Jin and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Very good, you have ambition. If you can do something practical for the people one day, I will agree to your request, even if you divorce your husband."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Jin knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yu again.

Su Muxue saw that there was no way she could get Mu Jin's divorce today, and the atmosphere was not right, so she decided to take Mu Jin and run away.

"Okay, okay, your son and Jin will not disturb you from reviewing the memorials."

Seeing that Su Yu didn't answer but looked at her coldly, Su Muxue smiled awkwardly, walked to Mu Jin, helped Mu Jin up, turned around and bowed to Su Yu with Mu Jin.

"Then I and Jin will leave first. When father is free, I will come to see you again."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Muxue took Mu Jin's hand and quickly left the imperial study.

After the two men left, Su Yu took the tea from Jinzhong, took a sip, raised his eyebrows, and said something to Jinzhong.

"When did this girl Mu Xue become friends with Mu Jin? I heard that they slept together last night."

Jinzhong leaned forward and quickly replied, "Maybe the princess was already on good terms with Princess Yun."

Su Yu sneered: "Humph! You still don't understand Mu Xue's character? She is so arrogant. How many people can catch her eye and get close to her? This Marquis Mu Wei is really capable to raise such a good daughter."

After hearing Su Yu's words, Jinzhong didn't dare to answer. He just stayed beside Su Yu cautiously and smiled.

Because of the marriage between Su Yuntian and the Mu family, Su Yu transferred 100,000 troops of the Mu family away from the border. He was not afraid of Mu Weihou's rebellion. After all, he knew the importance of Mu Jin to Mu Weihou. As long as Mu Jin was in the capital, Mu Weihou would not rebel.

In Su Yu's eyes, Mu Jin is just a woman who can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands. No matter how smart she is, she can't turn the world around.

Here, Su Muxue pulled Mu Jin out of the imperial study, and she smiled at Mu Jin embarrassedly.

"Ajin, I'm sorry I can't help you. Maybe my father is in a bad mood today. I'll talk to him another day when he's in a better mood."

"Princess, you have helped me a lot today. I am really grateful." Mu Jin replied in a gentle voice.

Su Muxue thought that Mu Jin would be sad because Su Yu did not agree to the divorce. She was also a person who cared about her reputation, and she felt embarrassed that she could not help Mu Jin today. Seeing that the weather was good today, Su Muxue suggested that she and Mu Jin go to Shuyu Tower for a stroll.

Mu Jin had important things to do today and didn't want to waste time with Su Muxue. She raised her eyebrows and said to Su Muxue.

"We just met yesterday, and today the princess can't wait to see Zhao Yefan again? What's that saying? One day without seeing you feels like a long time..."

When Su Muxue saw Mu Jin mention Zhao Yefan, she immediately stepped forward and covered Mu Jin's mouth with her hand, staring at Mu Jin hard, looking around, and cursing in a low voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to see Zhao Yefan? I went to Shuyu Tower just to think about it. Oh, by the way, I just wanted to buy something to appease my father and help you convince him to agree to your divorce from Su Yuntian as soon as possible. Don't be ungrateful."

Mu Jin looked at Su Muxue with a malicious smile. Su Muxue felt embarrassed to be seen, so she quickly said to Mu Jin.

"Oh, by the way, today my father hired a great musician for me. I almost forgot about it. I can't leave the palace with you now. I'm going to learn the piano. I'll find you at the theater another day to watch a play."

After saying that, without waiting for Mu Jin's answer, Su Muxue ran away. Looking at the running Su Muxue, Mu Jin couldn't help but smile, but when he thought that he would not be able to find a way to divorce Su Yuntian in the short term, he couldn't help but frowned again.

Mu Jin was led out of the palace by the palace maid. She originally thought that she would hire a carriage to go back home. Unexpectedly, at the place where she got off yesterday, Eleven was leaning against the carriage and looking at the palace gate. As soon as she walked out of the palace, Eleven happily greeted her.

Eleven asked Mu Jin with concern whether he had had breakfast.

Mu Jin had breakfast with Su Muxue before meeting Su Yu, so she nodded and said that she had breakfast, and asked Eleven if he had breakfast too. After Eleven's affirmative answer, the two walked towards the carriage together.

But when Mu Jin walked to the carriage, she felt something was wrong, and she turned to look at Eleven.

"You haven't left since yesterday. Where did you have breakfast? Didn't they tell you that I was staying in the palace last night?"
