Upon hearing this, Mu Jin glared at Su Muxue and said, "Princess, I am not worthy of such honor. Please do not make fun of me with such words in the future."

Mu Jin kept referring to herself as a "commoner," and Su Muxue knew that Mu Jin didn't like it. She actually hoped that one day Mu Jin would agree to become Su Yi's empress, but before Mu Jin made a decision, she really shouldn't joke about this with Mu Jin so easily.

So Su Muxue immediately showed a look of remorse and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it next time. You still call me 'commoner' because of this, which makes you seem distant."

Su Yi looked at Mu Jin and said, "Don't worry, I will issue an imperial decree tomorrow that no one is allowed to disturb you without my permission. You can do whatever you want in Nan Shu without having to worry about anyone."

Since Su Yi ascended the throne in Southern Shu, Mu Jin seemed to have lost her reason to stay there. Every day, she worried about her father and brothers who were far away in Eastern Yue.

Although Su Yi promised to protect her father and brothers, she was still worried. Moreover, with the situation in Southern Shu now stable, she couldn't help but wonder if she could borrow an army from Su Yi to fight her way back to Eastern Yue and relieve her father and brothers' predicament.

Mu Jin slowly put down her chopsticks and bowl, gazed at Su Yi, and said softly, "I'm full, please continue eating."

Her gaze towards Su Yi held a hint, suggesting that he should find her in the backyard after dinner. This implied that she had something important to discuss with Su Yi, but didn't want Su Muxue present.

Su Yi nodded knowingly and watched Mu Jin leave the dining hall.

"Brother, Jin is acting strange today. It's fine for her to joke around on ordinary days, but what's wrong with her today?" Su Muxue asked, her face full of doubt.

Su Yi pondered for a moment, then glanced at Su Muxue and said, "You talk too much. I'm full and have some official business to attend to. You can eat here by yourself."
