I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

When King Yan saw Li Mu's expression, he felt even more proud, knowing that this gift must have touched Li Mu's heart.

So he pulled Li Mu aside and whispered to him,

"Mu'er will need someone to take care of her during this journey. As a father, I know her very well. Since you two have already..."

"I didn't, I didn't know, it was all a misunderstanding, do you want to listen to what you are saying."

Li Mu denied it three times in his heart and cursed the King of Yan for being shameless, saying, "You know everything about me."

But the King of Yan raised his eyebrows at Li Mu, gave him a look that all men understood, and then continued,

"But this is something you should keep secret and not make things too embarrassing for Chuyi."

"No, shouldn't you be the one who is most embarrassed about this kind of thing?"

Li Mu secretly glanced in the direction of Princess Yan, and couldn't help but think of the scene that night. He felt his throat a little dry and swallowed subconsciously.

One has to admit that the Princess of Yan is now in her early thirties, with a pretty face, a plump figure, and the natural demeanor of a princess.

Even though she usually dresses like a chivalrous woman, her elegance and grace in her bones cannot be concealed.

This was indeed extremely lethal to Li Mu, a young man in his twenties.

When the King of Yan saw Li Mu's eyes, he patted Li Mu on the shoulder, as if a senior was teaching a junior, and whispered encouragement.

"It looks like you haven't succeeded yet. Take your time and don't be too impatient. I'm an experienced person, so you can listen to me."

Hearing the words of King Yan, Li Mu quickly retracted his gaze and thought,

"Of course you are an experienced person. You have two sons now."

Thinking of this, Li Mu refused righteously.

"Master, this is absolutely not possible. I think there must be some misunderstanding."

Although Li Mu admired Boss Cao very much, he believed that he definitely did not have such a habit.

While envying the "rich people who really know how to have fun", he insisted on protecting his not-so-pure heart.

When the King of Yan heard this, he looked embarrassed. He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but since the person asked him for help, he thought Li Mu would definitely agree, so he did this favor.

Who would have thought that Li Mu would actually refuse.

So he looked in the direction of Princess Yan and saw that her eyebrows were slowly frowning and her face was gradually becoming gloomy.

The King of Yan quickly grabbed Li Mu's arm and said earnestly,

"Mu'er, why don't you reconsider it!"

Li Mu groaned inwardly,

"Don't try to persuade me. I'm not as upright as you think."

Then he remembered the look in King Yan's eyes before, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Could this be what Princess Yan meant? What's going on between these two?"

At this moment, a woman with a figure even more majestic than Princess Yan walked out from behind her.

His chest rose and fell like waves, and he was obviously very angry.

Pointing at Li Mu angrily,

"I'm here to take care of Aunt Ping. Who needs his consent?"

When Li Mu heard this voice and saw Xu Doudou dressed as a maid, his head felt like it was hit by Shanshan with a heavy sword, and he screamed in his heart,

"This is so fucking embarrassing."

The moment he saw Xu Doudou, Li Mu realized that the gift from King Yan was for her.

In fact, Li Mu discovered early on that there was someone behind the Princess of Yan.

But with Princess Zhu Yu of Yan in front, who would pay attention to the little maidservant who was keeping her head down and keeping silent behind her.

Li Mu felt fortunate that he had the heart to "build a memorial archway for himself", otherwise, he would probably have started to flee again.

He quickly changed the subject and looked at Princess Yan and asked,

"Auntie, are you going to set off with us?"

Without waiting for the Princess to answer, the Prince of Yan spoke first.

"Your aunt and Chuyi will go to Jing'an City in person to discuss your marriage."

He patted Li Mu on the shoulder, as if to take credit for it.

"I begged your aunt for a long time before she agreed reluctantly."

Li Mu felt unhappy when he heard what King Yan said.

"What kind of prayer is that..."

After a moment, I came to my senses and thought to myself

"I'm not that kind of person. I'm not, I'm not."

He quickly turned his gaze to Xu Doudou and said with a smile,

"My words just now may have caused Miss Xu to misunderstand. I am afraid that Miss Xu will always think about the 'transaction' and cause the pure feelings between you and me to be mixed with other things."

I was thinking desperately in my heart,

"Yes, I like girls like Xu Doudou. I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief, I'm not..."

Xu Doudou's heart was slightly moved by Li Mu's words, and the anger on her face faded a lot.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly walked to Li Mu, bowed to him, and said,

"I was wrong to say those words to the prince before. I hope you will forgive me."

Li Mu couldn't help but twitch his lips, knowing that he was being too pretentious. He thought that he could actually accept the drama of the heroine repaying a favor.

But the words had already been said and there was no reason to take them back. After exchanging a few more words with everyone, he said goodbye and left, under the pretext of packing up his things.

Time soon came to noon.

Li Mu stood in front of the palace gate and looked at the convoy escorting Zhao Chuyi and the princess to the capital.

From beginning to end, there were more than a dozen carriages, and the guards on the side were at least a thousand people.

Then look at the carriage prepared for him. Is that a horse? Just looking at the size, I thought it was a donkey.

The most important thing is that there was not even a driver.

Just as I was looking for Prince Yan, I saw Zhao Chuyi and Shanshan coming out of the palace.

Li Mu thought,

"I haven't seen this girl all morning. Is it because of what happened last night?"

Thinking of the absurdity of last night, Li Mu's heart was moved.

Zhao Chuyi looked towards Li Mu, her face was happy at first, then a little resentful, she ran to Li Mu and said coquettishly,

"Sir, why don't you come with us?"

"Ok?"

"This time, my father asked me to go back to the palace directly and not go to Yanshan City again. If we don't go together, we will have to separate now."

Hearing this, Li Mu did not rush to answer.

Because he was indeed not prepared to travel with the main force, as that would be too slow.

With his current strength, if he travels slowly, he can reach Yanshan City in three days. If he travels at full speed, it may take less than half a day.

But following the main force would take at least ten days or half a month.

It's just that he hasn't discussed this matter with Zhao Chuyi yet. Li Mu plans to say goodbye to Zhao Chuyi after he leaves. As long as he explains the interests involved, he believes she will understand.

At this time, the curtain of Li Mu's "donkey cart" was lifted by a snow-white jade hand, revealing a face that was so beautiful that it could overturn a country.

Zhang Hanrui's voice was cold and sharp, and there was a hint of thorn in her words.

"If we go back with the convoy, maybe we can catch up with Yu Wei's baby's full moon banquet."

Zhao Chuyi was not stupid, so of course she could hear the sarcasm in Zhang Hanrui's words.

But I also felt that there was some truth in what she said, and I swallowed the words that came to my lips to refute her.

Then, regardless of the people around her, she threw herself into Li Mu's arms, hooked her hands around Li Mu's neck, and stood on tiptoe.

Just like that night in the inn, she offered her delicate red lips.

Seeing this, Shanshan immediately turned around and used her huge body to block the two of them, so that Li Mu's dishonest hands were not seen by others.
