Mu Jin thought of the ancient saying that having no descendants was considered a great virtue. She remembered that her original body had been married to Su Yuntian for several years without any children, and wondered if she could use this to ask for a divorce from the Emperor of Dongyue.

Knowing Mu Jin's plan, Qing'er was immediately dissatisfied: "How can you say it's your fault, young lady? The prince has not even set foot in the door of Cuizhu Courtyard in these years. If there is really a child, it's not too late for young lady to admit that it's your fault."

Hearing Qing'er say this, Mu Jin's eyes widened in disbelief.

"No way, I have both good looks and a good figure, how can he resist?"

When Qing'er heard Mu Jin say this, she couldn't help but scold Mu Jin and said, "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about again? Aren't you planning to divorce? You still feel sorry for it!"

After Qing'er finished speaking, she couldn't help but suspect that Mu Jin still had feelings for Su Yuntian.

"Miss, are you still planning to divorce the prince?"

Mu Jin rolled his eyes at her, as if to say she was talking nonsense.

When Qing'er saw Mu Jinbai's look at her, she no longer had any doubts.

"Alas, I am not doubting the young lady, I just gave Shen Qianqian a chance. Besides, this kind of marriage granted by the emperor is more difficult to handle!"

Mu Jin nodded: "But I don't want to be trapped in Prince Yun's Mansion for the rest of my life. The world outside is so big, and being trapped in this small world is not something I would do."

Qing'er nodded: "Miss, if you can think of a way to divorce, you will have a chance to see the emperor. Wait for the palace banquet and go to the palace with the prince to see the emperor. Then you can find a chance to talk to the emperor."

. . . . . .

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the eunuch Jinzhong handed a box of pills to the Emperor Su Yu of Dongyue.

"Your Majesty, this is the elixir that the new leader of the Nangong Divine Sect presented as tribute. It has been tried by others and they all say that it is very effective. Please try it."

Su Yu took the medicine box and took out a pill from it. The pill was red all over and gave off a faint medicinal fragrance.

Su Yu took the pill and closed his eyes. As the pill went down his throat, he could instantly feel all the fatigue in his body disappear.

Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"The elixirs of the Nangong Divine Sect have been getting worse over the past few years. How come the elixirs are back to their previous state this time? Is it because of the new sect leader?"

Jinzhong smiled and bent over, "That's right. Ever since the old sect master and his wife died suddenly five years ago, no one has inherited the position of sect master for so many years. Two years ago, when the young sect master was about to take over, he suddenly disappeared. We searched for him for two years but couldn't find him. Since the Divine Sect couldn't be without a leader for a day, the old lady presided over the old sect master's eldest disciple Nangong Ce to take over."

Hearing Jinzhong say this, Su Yu sneered.

"Some died, some disappeared. This Nangong Divine Sect is quite interesting. They have the best life-extending elixir in the world, but they can't even preserve their own bloodline."

"Ha~That's right," Jinzhong agreed with a smile beside Su Yu.

"Is Yi'er in the capital recently? Mu Xue came to me two days ago and made a fuss, saying that I wanted to marry her to Xiliang Kingdom. I was confused, and it was only after I coaxed her that I realized that it was Yi'er who deceived her." Su Yi said with a gentle look on his face.

"These two siblings are still as noisy as they were when they were little. It gives me a headache."

Jinzhong knew how much Su Yu loved Su Yi and Su Muxue. When he heard Su Yu's hypocritical expression, he joked.

"Your Majesty, you may say you dislike them, but you really love them in your heart. But to be honest, the relationship between King Yi and the Sixth Princess has not changed since they were children. If Queen Yu were here~"

Jinzhong suddenly realized something and slapped himself on the mouth: "Damn it, my mouth and brain have been fooled again!"

Su Yu did not blame Jinzhong.

"It doesn't matter. After all, I have let Yu'er down. I have also let down the siblings. I made Yi'er and Muxue lose their mother so early. Sigh, I don't know if Yi'er will forgive me as his father. He was such a good child, but he watched his mother die in front of him. He has become like this now because he is dissatisfied with me."

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. Please do not keep the sad things of the past in your heart. It will not benefit your health. Everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty has a deep love for Lady Yu. It is just fate that plays tricks on you."

Thinking of Nan Yu, Su Yu sighed.

"Go check whether Yi'er is in the capital recently. If he is, hold a palace banquet in the palace. Also, check to see which princes and daughters of officials above the second rank are of marriageable age but unengaged, and invite them all. Maybe Yi'er and Muxue will find someone they like, and they can stay in the capital with peace of mind."

Hearing Su Yi's proposal, Jin Zhong couldn't help but flatter Su Yi;

"King Yi and the Sixth Princess will respect the Emperor even more if they know that he cares a lot about them."

Su Yu was very pleased with Jinzhong's flattery and couldn't help but smile slightly.

At this time, a young eunuch walked into the Yangxin Palace and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine De is here to see you with some sweet soup."

When Su Yu heard Shen Rong's arrival, he looked unhappy, but after thinking about it, he let the eunuch take Shen Rong into the palace.

It was obvious that Concubine De was dressed up carefully tonight, but she was too exaggerated. She put on heavy makeup in the middle of the night, and it was hard to describe her appearance under the light.

Shen Rong is almost 50 years old. Looking at her in a pink palace dress, Su Yu frowned slightly. She couldn't help but think of when she first met Shen Rong. She did love the color pink, but that was or years ago.

Back then, he was an unpopular prince who was assassinated while traveling to the south of the Yangtze River and was saved by the master of the Shen family. When Su Yu was recuperating at the Shen family, Shen Rong fell in love with him at first sight.

At that time, Shen Rong was indeed quite pretty, and Su Yi was also at the age of full of vigor and vitality. Seeing Shen Rong coming to him on her own initiative, he was happy. However, he did not expect that when Shen Rong was about to leave Jiangnan, she became pregnant. Su Yi had no choice but to bring Shen Rong back to the capital and make her a concubine in the palace. It was not until she gave birth to Su Yuntian that she was promoted to a higher position.

Shen Rong entered the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and looked at Su Yu shyly.

"Your Majesty, the weather has been very dry recently. I personally peeled some tribute pears and added rock sugar this afternoon, and slowly boiled it for you. It is very good for your throat. Please try it."

Su Yu picked up the sweet soup, took a sip, and found it so sweet that he couldn't help but put it down with a frown.

"It's so late, there's no need to come here for these things. Just ask the maids to bring anything over."

Hearing Su Yu's words, Shen Rong showed a shy expression.

"It's just that I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and I miss you very much."

Su Yu looked up at her, but did not respond to her. Instead, he continued to look down at the memorials on the table.

Shen Rong thought Su Yu didn't hear her clearly, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips. She walked forward and leaned towards Su Yu.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, you should rest. Nothing is more important than your health. If there is anything urgent, just ask Yuntian to do it. That child can't sit still. He is busy from morning till night every day and doesn't even have a hot meal when he returns home. Don't you know that his princess can't have children even if she is away from home all day~"

Seeing Shen Rong leaning towards him, Su Yu moved his body impatiently and distanced himself from Shen Rong. He didn't want to listen to Shen Rong's nagging.

"What else do you want to do? Just tell me. What do you want to do here?"

Only then did Shen Rong see the displeasure on Su Yu's face, and she stammered, "Your Highness~Your Highness is only here to serve sweet soup to His Majesty."

"I'm busy. The sweet soup has been delivered. You can leave now."

Shen Rong originally wanted to talk about the divorce between Su Yuntian and Mu Jin, but seeing that Su Yu was in a bad mood, she didn't dare to continue.

"Then I will take my leave first. Your Majesty, please take care of your health and go to bed early." Then she was about to leave reluctantly.

Shen Rong had just taken a few steps when Su Yu couldn't help but say to Shen Rong.

"Pink is delicate and doesn't suit you. Don't wear it anymore."

Shen Rong paused for a moment, nodded "yes" to Su Yu with shame and indignation, and walked out of the Yangxin Palace quickly.
