"This whole house-cleansing drama is exhilarating! I suppose Young Master Nangong has already revealed his true identity to Ah Jin?" Su Yi said with a grin.
When Shiyi heard Su Yi say this, his back stiffened involuntarily. He slowly turned around and bowed to Su Yi.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, King Yi."
Upon hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Jin couldn't help but look at Su Yi and ask, "When did you find out that Eleven was Young Master Nangong?"
When Su Yi heard Mu Jin ask this question, he pretended to be deep in thought for a while and then said, "It was around the time of the plum grove."
"Back in Merlin, you already knew that Eleven was the young master of the Nangong family! Later, you kept stammering about helping me introduce Eleven to the Nangong Divine Sect to treat his amnesia. If Eleven hadn't suddenly regained his memory and refused to go to the Nangong Divine Sect with me, wouldn't it have been like him escaping a trap if I had taken him to Nangong Ce?"
Mu Jin looked at Su Yi and gritted her teeth.
"Oh dear~ don't be so hasty. Listen to me, I know that Nangong Min has regained his memory, so I said that on purpose. Didn't you see how intense his reaction was when you said you would take him to treat his amnesia?"
After Su Yi finished speaking, he muttered a couple of words with a wronged look on his face.
"Why did he deliberately conceal his identity from you? He doesn't seem to care about you, but he's always fierce towards me. Doesn't he consider whether my fragile heart can withstand it?"
"No, I just didn't know how to tell Miss. I was afraid that if Miss found out about my identity, she wouldn't want me to stay in the General's Mansion any longer."
Upon hearing Su Yi's accusation that he had concealed something from Mu Jin, Shiyi immediately rushed to explain himself.
"Exactly! Stop trying to sow discord here, I believe in Eleven."
Hearing Mu Jin say this, Eleven's eyes lit up, but Su Yi was not happy. He glared at Mu Jin with an expression as if he had been hurt.
"I say, you woman, are you still holding a grudge about how I tricked you into saving me from that hunting trap with those hawthorn sugar pills?"
Mu Jin snorted coldly: "There's also the grudge from that needle."
"Ah, no wonder they say that in this world, only petty people and women are difficult to deal with. I'm telling you, I've already emptied the Yi King's Mansion to buy you gifts to apologize. If that's still not enough, you can prick me with a needle a few times to vent your anger."
After Su Yi finished speaking, he actually took out several silver needles from his sleeve and handed them to Mu Jin.
"Don't try to trap me here. I can't bear the crime of plotting against the royal family."
After Mu Jin finished speaking, she stood up, didn't even glance at Su Yi, and walked out the door.
"Hey~ You woman, don't leave yet. Tell me clearly, how can I get rid of that needle prick?"
Su Yi also stood up, wanting to chase after Mu Jin to demand an explanation, but was stopped by Eleven.
"King Yi, please wait a moment. I have a few more questions I would like to ask you."
Su Yi stopped chasing Mu Jin when he heard Eleven call out to him.
Su Yi slowly turned around to look at Eleven, revealing a lazy smile, completely unlike the hurt look he had just given Mu Jin when Mu Jin had suppressed him.
"How did King Yi know that I am Nangong Min?"
Su Yi laughed and said, "The sword technique you taught Mu Jin in the plum grove, although she didn't master it very well at the time, I could still recognize it at a glance. That sword technique is called the Questioning Heart Sword Technique."
"How could Yi Wang, who is not a member of my Nangong Divine Sect, know that sword technique?"
"My master is Master Hengyuan, who is a good friend of your father. When I was young, I traveled with my master among the common people and was fortunate enough to see your father and my master sparring. The sword technique your father used that day was the same one that Mu Jin used in the plum grove."
Upon hearing Su Yi's words, Eleven nodded, looking as if he had suddenly realized something.
Su Yi laughed and said, "I heard from my master that only the successive successors of the Nangong Divine Sect and the sect leader's wife can learn that set of Heart-Questioning Sword Technique. Your amnesia at that time is another matter. But I really want to know, if you hadn't lost your memory, would you have taught that set of Heart-Questioning Sword Technique to Mu Jin?"
When Shiyi heard Su Yi ask this question, he paused, glanced at Su Yi, and finally lowered his eyes without saying anything.
Su Yi chuckled and said, "I advise you, if you can't protect Mu Jin, you should keep your intentions well hidden, lest you make things difficult for her later."
After saying this to Eleven, Su Yi glanced at Eleven, smiled, and turned to leave towards the door.
Inside the Zichen Palace, Su Mu was listening to the secret guards report on the disaster relief efforts outside the city.
"You mean, Yi'er was also involved in the rescue and treatment of disaster victims outside the city?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Prince Yi has been working under an assumed name with the disaster relief personnel to settle all affairs outside the city. It wasn't until today, when a spy appeared outside the city and recognized Prince Yi, that Prince Yi finally admitted his identity," the guard said.
"Why did Yi'er risk his life to do such a thing outside the city this time? Isn't he usually always hiding away and doing nothing?"
The guard kneeling on the ground glanced at Su Mu, unsure whether he should say something. Su Mu sensed his meaning and asked.
"If there's anything else, tell me the truth, don't hide anything."
The guard said, "King Yi seems to be quite familiar with Princess Yun, and he even appeared in time to save her during the two riots by the disaster victims."
Su Mu frowned: "Do you mean something else by saying that?"
The guard had observed that Su Yi's attitude towards Mu Jin was very different from others these past few days. Although Mu Jin had ignored Su Yi the whole time, Su Yi always managed to find an opportunity to linger in front of Mu Jin. Thinking of this, the guard gritted his teeth and said to Su Mu.
"On the first night of the disaster relief efforts, King Yun wanted to enter Queen Yun's tent. Soon after, a dispute arose between them. King Yi arrived just in time and took King Yun away. Later, King Yun suddenly fell ill, and it was King Yi who arranged for him to be sent back to the city. And..."
