My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

Chapter 135 Tell me honestly, did you invite the reinforcements from Prince Jin?

Su Zhen also felt uncomfortable. This man was really too cold. He had not been away from the capital for many years. He did not expect that the impoverished prince who was protected by his own daughter in the past would have completely changed. Hearing about it was indeed not as shocking as seeing it in person.

Xiao Yunjin didn't say a word, but his presence was very felt. During Su Zhen's meeting, no one refuted him. This was really the first time in all these years. After all, none of the generals present had a good temper. Sometimes they could even fight when they disagreed.

Since the meeting went smoothly and Su Zhen also wanted to see his daughter earlier, he announced the dissolution of the meeting.

The generals went ahead, and Su Zhen and Xiao Yunjin were the last to leave the meeting room. "Oh, there is one more thing that needs to be conveyed to His Majesty."

"Marshal Su, you don't have to be polite. Just speak directly if you have something to say."

"It's not a big deal." Su Zhen felt that Xiao Yunjin still had some softness and easy-going nature under his stern appearance. "My daughter and son-in-law are here. I thought I would escort the prince when he returns to the capital."

Su Zhen had a good idea. His daughter was now the Crown Prince's wife, and she suddenly came to the northwest. Even if the Emperor knew about it, the noble ladies in the capital would not know about it and would criticize her. So it would be best to let his daughter and son-in-law go back first.

What? He Yuncheng was also here. Xiao Yunjin didn't react at first, but later he realized that the son-in-law mentioned by the Duke of Zhenguo should be He Yuncheng. A fire of jealousy burned in his heart, and Xiao Yunjin's face immediately fell.

"So my cousin is here too. I should go and greet him first. As for returning to the capital, Marshal Su, rest assured that he will escort the princess back to the capital safely."

Although the tone of voice was the same as before, Su Zhen felt that Xiao Yunjin's aura had changed. However, since the other party agreed, his goal was achieved, so he didn't hesitate any longer. "Then, Your Majesty, please do as you please. I will go to see my daughter."

Xiao Yunjin also wanted to see his wife, so he followed.

Su Zhen hadn't seen his daughter for a long time. Ever since he knew about her conspiracy with the third brother, Su Zhen had been filled with rage. He had made up his mind to put on a good face and to subdue his daring daughter, otherwise there would be a big fuss in the future.

"My Lord, Marshal, the princess has woken up."

Su Zhen was so anxious to see his daughter that he didn't notice that Xiao Yunjin had been following him. When he saw Xu Suqing bowing to them, he realized that Xiao Yunjin had also followed them. "My Lord, is there anything else?"

"Nothing," Xiao Yunjin gritted his teeth and uttered two words. Seeing Su Zhen like this, it was obvious that he could not be allowed to go in. Fortunately, he heard that Su Muxi had woken up. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk out. He wanted to meet He Yuncheng in person to see where he got the courage to betray him.

Su Zhen glanced at the other person. Prince Jin was indeed a fickle person. His son-in-law was still the best choice.

He waved his hand to let Xu Suqing leave, then pushed open the door and walked in.

Su Muxi had just woken up. She had many wounds on her body, but none of them were fatal. She was just exhausted and had lost too much blood. After a long sleep, she recovered.

However, as soon as she saw the Duke of Zhenguo's expression, she knew that he was going to settle the score later, so she quickly covered her mouth and pretended to cough a few times, but she didn't expect that her throat was dry and she couldn't stop coughing.

The Duke of Zhenguo panicked all of a sudden, patting his back and pouring him some water. "You were feeling better, but why are you coughing again? Do you have a fever?"

After a series of questions, he had forgotten about his airs. Seeing his daughter's face red from coughing, he was left with only heartache.

Su Muxi took a long time to recover. She lost more than she gained. Her lungs hurt from coughing. She drank some water and finally felt better. "Dad, I feel sick."

Su Zhen was so distressed by these soft words, "My dear! You scared your dad to death."

As if he had used too much force, Su Muxi smiled soothingly, "I'm fine, Daddy, I've done a great job, you are not allowed to embezzle my credit this time."

"With your condition, who would dare to embezzle your credit?" Su Zhen saw that she still knew how to attack, and knew that he had been deceived by her just now. However, she was just pretending to be majestic, so he couldn't maintain his dignity even if he wanted to.

But thinking of the important matter, Su Zhen immediately became cautious, "Tell me honestly, did you invite the reinforcements from King Jin?"

"Yeah," Su Muxi nodded. She couldn't refute this.

"How foolish!" Tao County was at the foot of the Cangliang Mountains. She could find out that Xiao Yunjin had hidden troops there. Was that nothing? As long as she didn't say anything and no one knew about it, asking her to ask for troops was a completely different matter.

"Everyone in the city knows that Xiao Yunjin died in the battle, but you just dragged him out. You think your father's head is too comfortable on your neck, so you put a knife on me to make my life more exciting, right?"

Su Zhen got even angrier when he said this. He blurted out all the words he had just thought about. "Who is Xiao Yunjin? He is a prince, he is the third prince, he is also the son-in-law of the Prince of Huaiyang, he is definitely the first crown prince. Tell me, why don't you mess with anyone else? Why mess with him?"

"He hid himself well, he faked his death, he hid his troops in the Cangliang Mountains, 150,000 Huaiyang troops! What do you think he wants to do? Use your smart head to think about what he wants to do."

"You are really capable. You hid such a big thing from even your own father and gave him such a great military achievement. What do you want to do?"

"Su Muxi, tell me, what do you want to do?" Su Zhen became more and more angry. "Tell me, are you still thinking about him? It's been more than ten years. Back then, you had to learn how to fight for him, and now you're putting your military achievements on people's lips."

The more Su Zhen spoke, the closer he felt to the truth. "Su Muxi, I have to tell you, you are married, and your husband is still waiting for you in the Northwest Camp?"

"I have already told the emperor about the hidden troops in the Cangliang Mountains." Su Muxi became more and more confused as she listened. What on earth was her father imagining? She quickly interrupted him, "I know I'm getting married, and I also know who I'm marrying. Don't say anything. With your voice, do you want to kill your daughter?"

"Your Majesty knows! That's good, that's good," Su Zhen patted his chest, "I'm telling you, no matter what you were thinking before, just hold it back."

Su Muxi looked at his father and swallowed back the thought of divorce. He still needed to plan this matter carefully. "Dad, I've been listening to you since I woke up. I haven't eaten yet? I'm so hungry that I don't have the strength."

Su Zhen wanted to tell her to keep her distance from Xiao Yunjin and not to get involved in the fight for the throne, but he thought again that they were already involved, so he sighed and said, "You should have a good rest. I'm leaving first. Remember to write a letter to your mother after dinner. She must be worried to death."

"I understand, Dad." Su Muxi collapsed on the bed, his mind in a mess.

Su Muxi had just finished her meal when Su Muchao came to see her again. Just as she finished dealing with him, Xiao Yunjin came to see her again. He really didn't let her have any free time at all. "If you don't see me, just say I fell asleep."
