Lin Yi's hands were white and clean, and his joints were clear. It was obvious that he wasn't a poor person. But at this moment, a burn suddenly appeared on the back of his hand, ruining his beauty.

His ears couldn't help but slightly redden. He didn't say ”yes” or ”no”, and only held a spoonful of medicine in front of Su Mu's mouth.

Hur Hur Hur Hur Hur. I'll do it myself.” Su Mu didn't dare let Lin Yi lower himself to feed the medicine to her. He quickly extended his hand to receive the bowl.

Lin Yi stubbornly refused to tell her, ”If you sprinkle the medicine on the bed, not only will you have to trouble the servants to clean up, but you will also ruin my good intentions.”

Su Mu's face turned cold. ”The crown prince is very respected. This humble one doesn't dare trouble you.” Su Mu knew the difference between him and Lin Yi was like heaven and earth. He didn't want to involve them in any way, even if she was a little bit interested. The more it was like this, the clearer the boundaries were.

Lin Yi stared at Su Mu's face and said, ”I know you're a girl and I love you.”

It was impossible for him to win the favor of His Majesty from a group of princes without having good eyesight. Su Mu had already guessed what was going on and wasn't particularly surprised.

”Then, do you know that I am the daughter of the sinner Su Shao?” Su Mu also looked straight into Lin Yi's eyes.

”I know, I will do my best to help the Su Clan fight back. ”The existence of the Yan Clan has already threatened the safety of the Great Yan Empire. My purpose in coming to Jiangnan is to contact the Jiangnan Governor.” Lin Yi spoke with sincerity.

”So what if it's the opposite? Over ten members of the Su Clan have all died under your father's decree.” Su Mu pressed on. ”If I want you to ascend the throne and bestow the title of Empress on the day the Yan Clan falls, what will you do?”

In the past, he had placed his trust in the lowly people, making the Yan Clan stronger, making them immoral and incapable, and making their loyal subjects feel wronged. Even if he had a moment of epiphany and tried his best to clean up the mess he had created, Su Mu still did not want him to continue sitting on that seat.

Lin Yi didn't expect Su Mu to say that. He didn't think much of it and blurted out, ”This is unfilial.” No matter how old or weak Father was, he should have waited for Father to speak. There was no way he could force his way to the palace, it was disloyal and unfilial!

”Then it is impossible for you and I to be together.” Su Mu guessed Lin Yi's reaction and sat up straight. He looked at Lin Yi seriously and said, ”I will continue to travel with you until I break the Yan family apart. Afterwards, we will meet again in the martial arts world.”

Lin Yi did not want to finish his words, so he scooped up the spoon and scooped it up. The steam from the spoon blurred his face, ”Are you done speaking? Let's drink some medicine first. ” Lin Yi brought the medicine to Su Mu's mouth without any rejection.

Su Mu only felt himself being punched in cotton. He was completely powerless and could only drink the medicine in Lin Yi's hands, following his own strength.

”Rest more. I'll tell you if anything happens.” Lin Yi picked at the corner of the blanket and avoided Su Mu's eyes. Then, he took the medicine and left. His back was a little flustered.

Su Mu sat on the bed in a daze until the drug took effect. Only then did he drowsily fall asleep again.

The sleeping Su Mu wouldn't know that a similar case had occurred in many of the brothels in the city. The dead watched helplessly as their faces were completely dissected before finally dying in pain. No one knew who would be the next to be killed, nor did they know if the culprit would be the girl from the brothel. Everyone felt that they were in danger.

County Magistrate Ge's hair was being reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone was urging him to solve the case.

After visiting every brothel, Guo County Magistrate and Bao Fusheng finally found one thing in common: each family had a relationship with Liu Zichen.

After tailing Liu Zichen for a long time, Bao Fu finally jumped out to arrest him while he was secretly burying a bloodstained shirt.

Liu Zichen repeatedly denied it, but he couldn't explain the clothes at all. He could only use his father to threaten him. But, who were Lin Yi and Bao Fusheng? How could they fear a son of a county king?

Liu Zichen was taken into custody, and the county governor himself rushed over to plead for mercy.
