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

Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi and asked, "Why are you in my house?"

Su Yi said, "I originally wanted to come over and have breakfast with Ah Jin, but I didn't expect it to be so busy here. Seeing that no one was entertaining me, I found a place to sit and wait for Ah Jin to deal with everything, and then I'll come to see you."

"Really? But I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't entertain His Majesty King Yi. If you feel comfortable sitting on the roof, then you can continue. I won't disturb His Majesty King Yi's good mood."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, he took Eleven and Qing'er and walked towards the dining hall.

Su Yi curled his lips and said to himself, "This woman is really cruel. She didn't even invite me to have a cup of hot tea in such a cold weather."

Qing'er glanced at Mu Jin and whispered, "King Yi has been waiting for you for a long time. How about we invite him to the dining hall to have breakfast together?"

Mu Jin sneered and ignored Qing'er's words.

A gust of wind passed by, and Su Yi landed gently beside Mu Jin. He said aggrievedly, "You are such a stingy woman. I have been sitting on the rooftop in the cold wind for the whole morning, and you were reluctant to buy me a cup of tea."

Mu Jin rolled his eyes at Su Yi and said, "King Yi sent this cup of tea to the General's Mansion? Besides, if I don't give it to you, will you really not drink it?"

Hearing Mu Jin say this, Su Yi smiled with a dandy smile and said, "That's right, Ah Jin still understands me."

In the dining hall, Su Yi was putting a hot bun into his mouth. He closed his eyes and chewed it carefully, then smiled and praised: "The breakfast in this general's mansion is really special, it tastes better than other places."

Su Yi ate one after another, but Mu Jin took the plate away from him.

"Why did King Yi come to see me?"

Su Yi said, "Everyone in my palace went out last night to help the general's palace catch the assassin. No one is in charge of breakfast today, so I want to try my luck in the general's palace to see if there is any cooked breakfast. By the way, I want to ask Ah Jin for a portion! Ah Jin, give me another one."

"Was the assassin captured by your people this morning?" Mu Jin asked in surprise.

"Yes, my people have been out searching for a whole night. It's not too much to exchange for a breakfast, right?"

After listening to this, Mu Jin moved the plate back to Su Yi.

Su Yi took another bun and put it in his mouth, and said to Mu Jin with a smile: "Thank you, Jin."

Mu Jin was surprised that Su Yi helped to catch the assassin. Mu Jin couldn't understand why Su Yi wanted to help her, and she didn't have time to figure it out, because she had to go out with Eleven today to inquire about buying food, so she stood up.

"Thank you, King Yi, for helping the General's Mansion catch the assassin. But I have many things to do today, so I can't accompany you. Please eat slowly first. If you don't have enough food, ask the kitchen to send it to you. You can have as much as you want. It's enough."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but Su Yi grabbed his hand.

"Don't be anxious. Sit down first. I have something important to tell you."

Mu Jin frowned: "What's the matter?"

Su Yi blinked his peach blossom eyes and said with a smile: "It should be a very important matter for Ah Jin."

Mu Jin sat back at the dining table, narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Yi. The look in his eyes clearly urged Su Yi to speak quickly if he had anything to say or to fart quickly.

Su Yi pretended not to see it, but slowly picked up the bowl in front of Mu Jin, scooped a bowl of bird's nest porridge from the stew pot beside the dining table and placed it in front of Mu Jin, smiling.

"Eat this bowl of porridge first, and I'll talk later. You just ate a piece of jade cake when I saw you. How can that fill you up?"

Mu Jin thought to herself, Su Yi is really caring about her: "What's the matter?"

Su Yi looked at the bowl of bird's nest porridge in front of Mu Jin and pursed his lips. Mu Jin had no choice but to take a spoon and scoop a mouthful into his mouth.

"Ah Jin, are you planning to buy some food recently? If I know how to buy rice from Southern Shu, would you be interested?"

After hearing what Su Yi said, Mu Jin's heart couldn't help but pause. At the moment, she was really worried about how to buy food. If it was as Su Yi said, that would be great.

Mu Jin asked: "Are you serious?"

Su Yi smiled: "Really."

"What conditions does King Yi need in order to help me get enough food? After all, I need to buy a lot of food."

Mu Jin asked Su Yi this because she didn't believe Su Yi would help her for no reason, but she didn't know whether she could accept the conditions Su Yi offered.

Su Yi blinked his peach blossom eyes and said with a smile: "As for this condition, I have to think about it carefully."

At the same time, in the yamen, Li Yansong sat in Zhao Wude's study, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then put down his uneasy heart.

Zhao Wude couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw Li Yansong's uneasy look, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Li Zhizhou, I am just asking a few routine questions. Just treat it as a discussion between colleagues. There is no need to be nervous."

Li Yansong felt bitter in his heart. How could there be so many yamen runners standing beside them when they were discussing the case with their colleagues? It was fine if there were yamen runners, but what about the clerk who had ground the ink and was sitting on the side waiting? This was not a discussion of the case with colleagues, it was clearly recording the confession of the prisoner.

Li Yansong smiled with a forced smile and said, "Master Zhao is right."

"What did those ten criminals commit? When were they sentenced? When were they arrested and imprisoned?"

Li Yansong picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea to cover up his inner nervousness.

"In the early 18th year of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, the people in the Sishui area were often robbed and beaten by these mountain bandits, so I ordered people to destroy the bandit den. These ten people were sentenced to between five and ten years, and were also tattooed with words."

"Is it that the jailer of Sishui County neglected his duty?"

Li Yansong smiled and nodded, "Not entirely. There were only two night guards that night. The bandit suddenly cried out for a stomachache, so the two guards opened the cell door and wanted to go in to see what was going on. They were knocked unconscious by the cunning bandit, who then changed into the prison guard's uniform and went outside the cell to lure the other guards in and knocked them out as well. He also changed into his own uniform and ran away."

Zhao Wude frowned and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Li Yansong smiled awkwardly: "This is what I understand from what I have learned."

"When did the Sishui County Magistrate report to you? When did you track down the fugitive?" Zhao Wude asked.

Li Yansong said, "Yes~ Yingsheng. The next day after the fugitive escaped from prison, I received the news and divided my troops into several groups to track him. I happened to ask passers-by and learned that they were heading towards the capital, so I chased them."

"That's really a coincidence." Zhao Wude chuckled, the meaning of which was ambiguous.

Hearing Zhao Wude's smile, Li Yansong trembled with fear, and kept thinking in his mind whether he should pull out his superior to shock Zhao Wude if Zhao Wude asked deeper questions.

Seeing Li Yansong fidgeting, Zhao Wude and the clerk looked at each other and thought that Li Yansong was not telling the truth and there must be something wrong.

Zhao Wude asked the clerk to bring the confession to Li Yansong for signature: "Sir Li, you know this as an official in the court. This is just a routine matter. If there is no problem, please sign it."

Li Yansong smiled awkwardly: "We are all officials in the same dynasty, so this is not necessary, right?"

When Li Yansong finished signing, Zhao Wude looked at Li Yansong's back as he left with a grim expression and called the yamen runner next to him.

"Send someone to kill Li Yansong."
