Not long after Su Yi left the Zichen Palace, he walked along a palace path and saw a person standing at the end of the path. The person slowly turned around and looked at him coldly as Su Yi approached with his footsteps.

Yesterday, Su Yuntian instructed the censors of the Censorate, who had always supported him, to jointly impeach Su Yi during the morning court session this day. Unexpectedly, Su Mu ended the morning court session early, citing illness.

Su Mu's attitude clearly indicated that he intended to continue protecting Su Yi and let him off lightly. Su Yuntian, unable to tolerate this any longer, decided to go to the palace to meet with Su Mu and personally impeach Su Yi.

When Su Yuntian arrived at the palace, news arrived that Su Yi and Su Mu were currently in the Zichen Hall. He then abandoned his plan to find Su Mu and waited for Su Yi on the only route out of the palace.

Su Yi looked at Su Yuntian and smiled slightly: "Oh~ who is it? Isn't this Third Brother? I heard you've been feeling unwell ever since you came back from outside the city. Now it seems you're completely healed?"

When Su Yuntian heard Su Yi still have the nerve to mention his physical discomfort, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "You know perfectly well what's wrong with my body."

Su Yi smiled and said, "Third Brother, what you're saying is true. All I know is that everything is about cause and effect. There are some things you must never do. If you do them, you'll always have to bear the consequences. Don't you agree?"

Su Yuntian suppressed his anger: "You know there are some things you shouldn't do. You spend every day around my woman, trying to please her. Is that what you should be doing?"

Su Yi raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Third Brother, don't wrong me. I haven't been to the Yun Prince's Mansion recently, so how could I be talking about being with your woman?"

Su Yuntian's face was full of anger: "You know I'm talking about A Jin. A Jin is my woman. To covet your own sister-in-law is something only a beast would do. How could you do such a thing?"

Su Yi scoffed, "When did A Jin become my sister-in-law? Third Brother must be confused. Ever since she divorced you and became Miss Mu again, she has not only been living a carefree life, but I have also been able to see her every day these past few days. Last night, I was the one who escorted her back to the General's Mansion."

"Today I even went with her to Shuyu Tower to select jewelry, and I saw that the carriage she was riding in also belonged to the General's Mansion. If she were to become your princess again, how could I not know?"

Hearing the provocative tone in Su Yi's words, Su Yuntian's face darkened. He grabbed Su Yi's collar with his left hand and swung his right fist at him. "You're asking for death!" Su Yuntian shouted angrily.

Su Yuntian's punch was extremely fast and powerful, showing that he was furious to the extreme.

Su Yi reacted extremely quickly. He originally wanted to turn his head to dodge, but as if he thought of something, he forcefully took Su Yuntian's punch.

He touched his broken lip, blood staining his fingertips. He couldn't help but smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in it.

"Su Yuntian, I deliberately let you have this punch, not for any other reason than that day, when I used a spell on you because you were my elder brother."

"However, if there is another time, I will still do it, not for any other reason than that you forced Ah Jin. The greatest mercy I can show you is that I will not let you suffer from that weakness for the rest of your life."

Su Yuntian's eyes were filled with malice: "So you finally admit that you were the one who planted that poison on me?"

Su Yi scoffed: "What have I done that I dare not admit? Today I will tell you formally that I love Mu Jin. You couldn't protect her before, but I will protect her from now on. You can let those good-for-nothings continue to petition me a few more times, do as you please."

Su Yuntian clenched his fists, his hatred for Su Yi reaching its peak. If he could, he would kill Su Yi right now. But now was not the time. He suppressed his anger and said to Su Yi, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell A Jin about your filthy thoughts towards her?"

Su Yi, however, didn't care at all: "I've been struggling with how to let A Jin know my feelings lately. If you tell her, I'll definitely buy you a gift to thank you."

Born into royalty, they were destined to never be brothers. They used to maintain a semblance of harmony, but now they couldn't even preserve that.

Su Yi smiled nonchalantly, glanced at the furious Su Yuntian, and walked towards the palace gate.

Seeing Su Yi walk out of the palace gate with his face covered in injuries, Ling Feng and Ling Yu couldn't help but step forward with concern: "Master, your injuries..."

Su Yi's face was ashen, and he raised his hand to stop the two from asking questions.

"Go to the General's Mansion."

Ling Feng asked, puzzled, "Master, with your face like this, it's not appropriate for you to go to the General's Mansion."

Su Yi smiled and said, "No! Now is the best time to go."

After Su Yi finished speaking, he mounted his horse and sped off towards the General's Mansion.

Ling Feng was full of questions and looked at Ling Yu: "Master, have you been beaten silly? Didn't you say he likes Miss Mu? Going to the General's Mansion like this is just damaging your image."

Ling Yu quickly mounted her horse and left Ling Feng with the words, "You're the fool. Didn't you see how eager Master was to get to the General's Mansion? He was afraid that if he was late, his wound would have already scabbed over, and he wouldn't be able to play the pitiful victim in front of Miss Mu."

"Huh?" Ling Feng saw that Ling Yu had already run far away, and realized what was happening. He shouted, "Wait for me!" and quickly mounted his horse, following in Su Yi's direction.

Shuyu Tower.

Just as Zhao Yefan finished arranging for someone to handle Mu Jin's grain purchase, someone came to report that Su Muxue's personal maid, Chunyun, had come looking for him.

Zhao Yefan didn't take it seriously. After all, Su Muxue had been causing him trouble every now and then since they were children. He was actually quite unaccustomed to it if she didn't come for too long.

Zhao Yefan shook his head and muttered, "I must have owed these two siblings something in my past life, right? It's not enough that I'm a beast of burden for my brother every day, I also have to be a dog for this sister every now and then."

Chunyun saw Zhao Yefan walking towards her and said with red eyes, "Young Master Zhao, you should go and see the princess quickly. She drank a lot of wine today, and no matter how I tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen."

"She's been drinking? Drunk at that? Was she betrothed by the Emperor, or heartbroken by a scumbag? Why is she so upset?"

Zhao Yefan joked with Chunyun, but quickened his pace as he walked towards the door.

Chunyun shook her head and said, "This servant doesn't know either. All I know is that she came back from Zichen Palace with tears streaming down her face. Then she took this servant out of the palace and went to Shidinglou to order a lot of wine. This servant was afraid that something might have happened to the princess, so I wanted to go find Prince Yi, but Prince Yi was not in the mansion, so I could only come to find you."

Su Muxue was in a private room of the Shidinglou Restaurant. The room was very large and could accommodate distinguished guests for eating, lodging and entertainment at the same time.

As soon as Zhao Yefan entered the private room, he saw Su Muxue lying on the dining table, hugging a wine bottle.

Zhao Yefan went in and sat down next to Su Muxue. He nudged Su Muxue and said, "Su Muxue, wake up."

After a while, Su Muxue, hearing someone calling her, slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Zhao Yefan in a daze, and after a while, as if she had just woken up from a dream, she smiled at Zhao Yefan and said, "Zhao Yefan, you've come."
