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

Eleven paused, slowly turned around and looked at Mu Jin, speechless for a moment. After a moment, he concealed the unspeakable sadness in his heart, pulled the corner of his mouth and said to Mu Jin.

"Can you give me some more time? I~"

"it is good!"

Before Shiyi could finish his words, Mu Jin smiled and said "OK" to him.

Mu Jin didn't want to force Eleven. She knew that Eleven must have encountered something unspeakable, which was why he couldn't bring himself to talk to her.

On New Year's Eve, snowflakes were flying and the wind was bitingly cold. The streets in the capital were almost empty, and even the sound of firecrackers that every household would set off in previous years was not heard.

Only from the red couplets posted on the doors of every household and the red lanterns hanging did I know that today was New Year's Eve, the night for families to reunite.

The scene outside the capital was completely different from that inside the capital. There were people from the capital who went out to make a living and returned to the capital for the holidays. There were also refugees who were starving and cold and infected with the plague. Many refugees even fell ill in the snow, and their lives were in danger.

Inside the Cuizhu Courtyard, Eleven and Qing'er looked at Mu Jin holding Su Yi's letter with a frown on his face.

Qing'er asked, "Miss, what did King Yi say?"

Mu Jin handed the letter to Qing'er. Qing'er read the letter quickly and was surprised, then angry.

"The people of Nangong Divine Sect actually demanded one million taels of silver before they were willing to hand over the prescription. Isn't this just profiting from the national crisis?"

Mu Jin sneered, "Yeah, let's not talk about whether Su Yi has that much money. Even if he does, it will take time to collect such a large sum of money. Besides, he is not the emperor, so it is not his responsibility to pay for it."

Yes, not to mention Su Yi, even the imperial court had suffered severe depletion of the treasury due to the war with the Kitazaki Kingdom in recent years, and the silver for disaster relief was still collected from the people and officials. This one million taels of silver was difficult to come up with even for the imperial court.

After hearing what Mu Jin and his servant said, Eleven stood aside with his fists clenched and his head lowered, saying nothing.

When he heard that Nangong Ce, now representing the Nangong Divine Sect, actually made such a shameless request, he felt as if his chest was filled with rage and was about to explode.

"Eleven, today is New Year's Eve. When you just went out, did you see the court sending food and clothing to the people outside the city who couldn't enter the capital?"

Hearing Mu Jin's question, Eleven shook his head.

"I crossed the city wall and found that more than 2,000 people were stranded outside the capital. More than 100 people had died and more than 1,000 people had contracted high fever. Some people in the city also showed signs of illness. Now everyone in and outside the capital is in danger and the streets are empty."

Hearing Eleven's description, Mu Jin frowned even more tightly. If the imperial court couldn't even appease the people's livelihood, how could the father and brother who were far away at the border not be implicated? She thought for a while and turned to look at Eleven.

"Can you show me the prescription you bought that day?"

Eleven nodded and asked Qing'er to bring paper and pen to write down.

There were only a few simple medicinal ingredients written on it, such as Forsythia suspensa, Honeysuckle, Ephedra, Gypsum, etc. These medicines are mainly used to clear away pathogens and detoxify, and to promote lung function and relieve heat.

Mu Jin nodded, added ginseng, aconite root and cornus officinalis on it, and looked at Eleven.

"Come with me to see Su Yi."

Outside the wall of Prince Yi's Palace, Mu Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes when she looked at the wall that was twice as tall as her. Who would dare to break into a place like Prince Yi's Palace to steal? Was it necessary to build it so high?

When Mu Jin learned martial arts from Eleven, she still lacked some skills in lightness skills. For such a high wall, she still needed Eleven's help to jump over.

Eleven gently supported Mu Jin's waist and jumped into Prince Yi's palace. But before they could stand firmly, two swords were placed on their necks. They were startled.

"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you trespass into Prince Yi's palace?" the guard who was holding them both at sword point shouted.

Mu Jin tried to push away the sword on her neck, smiled awkwardly, and said to the guard: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! King Yi and I are friends. We have something to ask King Yi. Please pass it on."

Climbing over the wall to find Su Yi was really a last resort to avoid suspicion, but what Mu Jin did not expect was that the security in Su Yi's mansion was so amazing.

The two guards would let go after hearing a few words from Mu Jin. The guard who had the sword on Mu Jin's neck shouted again, "Tell the truth, or I'll chop you down on the spot!"

Mu Jin had a bitter face and was about to say a few words to the guard when she saw two men walking by the corridor in front. One of the men was Su Yi's personal guard Ling Feng. She couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted in the direction Ling Feng was going.

"Guard Ling~"

Ling Feng and Ling Yu heard someone calling and couldn't help but look back. They saw Eleven and Mu Jin, who was wearing men's clothes, being held at swords by two guards. They were shocked.

Ling Feng and Ling Yu reacted quickly and ordered the two guards to put down their swords, then stepped forward and saluted Mu Jin.

"Yun~Oh no, Master Mu, are you here to see my prince for something?"

Mu Jin smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, I have something urgent to discuss with King Yi, please let him know."

Ling Feng nodded: "Mr. Mu, please follow me."

Mu Jin smiled and said "thank you" to Ling Feng, then let Ling Feng and Ling Yu lead the way.

Mu Jin looked at Ling Yu in front of him and saw that he looked familiar, so he asked, "This guard looks familiar. Have we met before?"

Ling Yu paused. He had seen Mu Jin last time in Meilin, but it was snowing heavily at that time, and he was driving in front of the car. In order to prevent his mouth and nose from inhaling ice chips, his face was wrapped in thick cloth. Mu Jin did not recognize that he was the Mu Jin he brought Mu Yan to the valley to find.

Ling Yu smiled and replied, "Last month, I met Princess Yun in Merlin with King Yi and the Sixth Princess. Princess Yun might have met me at that time."

Mu Jin nodded and said, "Oh, so you are the driver."

Ling Yu nodded quickly.

Ling Yu brought Mu Jin and Shiyi to the central hall of Prince Yi's mansion to wait for Prince Yi. Ling Feng had already gone out to look for Su Yi.

"Are you coming to spend New Year's Eve with me, Jin? Just let me know and I will come to pick you up. Don't climb over the wall next time. If you get hurt, I can't afford to pay for it."

Su Yi said with a smile as he looked at Mu Jin who was sitting in the main hall drinking tea.

Mu Jin felt that Su Yi was making fun of her, but at this moment she needed Su Yi's help, so she couldn't help but smile at Su Yi.

"I am truly ashamed. I came here today to ask King Yi for something. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring a New Year gift. How rude of you."

When Su Yi heard Mu Jin's words, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and he said, "Ajin, you don't need to be polite to me. If you have something to say, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

After hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Jin put away his smile and said to Su Yi, "I came here this time because of the plague."

Su Yi put away the smile in his eyes when he heard that Mu Jin came because of the plague. He originally thought of asking the people from Nangong Divine Sect to come out and help, but he didn't expect that Nangong Divine Sect made such a harsh request. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Eleven.

Mu Jin looked at Su Yi and continued.

"In the past few days, I asked Eleven to investigate inside and outside the city. Now, not only have a large number of people outside the city been infected with the plague, but more than a hundred people have died due to lack of treatment. I originally thought that Nangong Shenzong would come out to treat them, but now I think they can't wait. I have a good prescription in my hand that should be able to curb this epidemic."
