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

After an unknown amount of time, Li Mu slowly opened his eyes.

I felt the Qi in my body condense into a pill once again, and I was overjoyed.

"Once, once more, that's enough. Then all I need to do is break the elixir, and I'll have mastered the first level of the 'Nine Transformations of Hun Yuan'."

Thinking of this, Li Mu reached out and pulled Zhang Hanrui into the carriage, then patted Cinderella on her butt.

Cinderella seemed to understand Li Mu's meaning, and she drove the carriage skillfully towards the sparsely populated forest.

Zhang Hanrui had been thinking about how to punish Li Mu.

But when she lay in Li Mu's arms, she had thrown aside all her previous lofty words. She turned over, pressed Li Mu under her, and sat astride Li Mu's waist.

She looked down at Li Mu with an expression like that of an empress preparing to favor her concubine.

The jade hand gently lifted Li Mu's chin, her voice was soft and piercing, but the words she said were somewhat resentful.

"Little Thirteen, you must serve me well. When we return to Prince Yan's Mansion tomorrow, you will not only belong to me."

----

Yanshan City, Prince Yan’s Mansion, inner courtyard.

Li Ling'er sat dejectedly at the desk.

He looked at the three pieces of cloth and four bamboo slips in front of him with a headache.

These were all letters sent back by Prince Yan after he learned that they were planning to take a concubine for Li Mu.

At first, we just told them not to make a fuss and to quickly clarify to the outside world that nothing had happened.

The anger of King Yan was clearly visible in the subsequent letters.

He threatened that if they could not settle the matter and the Prince of Yan's Mansion was made a fool of by the outside world, he would send Li Ling'er back to Mingde Academy in the capital.

From now on, you should read books, paint, play the piano and do needlework, and stop wielding swords and guns. Just wait for the future to get married and take care of your husband and children.

Originally, Li Linger thought that King Yan did not know Li Mu's true identity, so she ignored all the letters from King Yan.

On the one hand, she hoped that Li Mu would get the news and take the initiative to return to Yanshan City.

On the other hand, this is also a disguised way of protecting Li Mu. Among the people in this world who most want Li Mu to die, the name of King Yan must be one of them.

And this time of taking a concubine was also to build momentum for Li Mu. The Prince of Yan had just been canonized by the current emperor, and now he was going to take the current leader of the Zongheng family as his concubine.

In Li Linger's opinion, in this way, even the King of Yan could not openly harm Li Mu.

As for what happens behind the scenes, given the strength Li Mu has demonstrated, there aren't many people who can do anything to harm him.

Then, Li Ling'er can carry out her plan and confess to King Yan when it is done.

However, what she never expected was that in addition to these seven letters, Prince Yan also brought her a secret family letter when he sent the last letter.

It clearly told Li Ling'er that the King of Yan was already aware of Li Mu's identity. Besides praising Li Ling'er for her good luck, his words also showed how much the King of Yan valued Li Mu.

Li Ling'er was required to follow Li Mu's instructions in everything in Prince Yan's Mansion, and was not allowed to interfere even if Li Mu completely defeated Prince Yan's Mansion.

At this moment, Li Ling'er realized that she was too narrow-minded. Without knowing Li Ling'er's plan, the King of Yan still planned to pass the title to Li Mu. Now, he wanted to test Li Mu's abilities.

If someone else said this, Li Ling'er would never believe it, but since these words came from the mouth of King Yan, Li Ling'er had to believe it.

The three brothers of the King of Yan established this kingdom just to make life better for the people, and they actually did not care much about power and titles.

Li Linger believed that if King Yan believed that Li Mu was capable of guarding the north and governing the northern fiefdom well.

Regardless of whether Li Mu is the son of King Yan or not, he will not hesitate, and will even try every means to let him sit on the throne of King Yan.

Li Ling'er kicked her feet under the table.

He firmly believed that his method was the best for the Prince of Yan's Mansion and devoted himself to thinking hard about countermeasures.

However, a moment.

Li Linger pulled her hair hard. This kind of thing that required thinking was really not suitable for her.

So, he shouted out the door,

"Xiaoyu, go tell them to come to my room to discuss matters."

I didn't hear Ying Yu's answer, I just heard her footsteps gradually moving away.

Shortly after.

Su Yuwei, Xiao Zhao, and Xu Youzhi came to Li Linger's room one after another.

"Sister Ling'er, you are in such a hurry to find us. Are you planning to announce it to us?"

Seeing that everyone was present, Xu Youzhi spoke first and teased Li Linger.

"Look at this."

Li Ling'er ignored Xu Youzhi's teasing and pushed the seven letters to the three people.

Of course, that secret letter was not known to everyone.

It's not that she doesn't trust them. After spending some time together, their relationship has become more harmonious because of a man who is not in the palace.

But in the family letter, Prince Yan clearly stated that this letter could only be read by her and its contents could only be known by Li Ling'er.

After reading it, Su Yuwei and Xiao Zhao both looked delighted, and their two pairs of hands unconsciously clasped together. Knowing that they would be able to see Li Mu soon, they were so happy that they were speechless for a moment.

After reading the letter, Xu Youzhi also looked relieved.

"Then cancel it. The news was spread by someone with ulterior motives. The prince has no intention of taking a concubine."

As she spoke, she patted her flat chest with her jade hands, and said with lingering fear,

"I was so scared. I thought I was really going to get married with Sister Su."

The girls heard her jokes but didn't take them seriously.

Li Ling'er nodded secretly, there was no better way.

At this time, Xu Youzhi held up the bamboo slips and asked,

"The princess is going to the capital. Could it be that the rumors are true? Is His Majesty really going to grant the prince a marriage?"

Hearing this, the three girls couldn't help but look at Xu Youzhi.

Several people had indeed heard of this rumor.

Li Ling'er knew it even more clearly. In the secret letter sent by Prince Yan, it was clearly stated that the Princess of Yan went to Jing'an City this time to finalize the marriage.

In the letter, he also asked Li Ling'er to comfort the girl from the strategist family. Although the prince consort of the Xing Dynasty could not take concubines, with Li Mu's ability, he would definitely not let her down, and asked her not to worry about the temporary status.

At first, Li Ling'er just felt that King Yan attached too much importance to Li Mu.

Suddenly I came to my senses and thought to myself,

"Xingchao's son-in-law cannot take concubines. If Li Mu marries Princess Yunhe and becomes his son-in-law, then what about me, bah, Yu Wei?"

Then, she slapped the table and said in a tender voice,

"It cannot be cancelled. We must follow the original plan. No, tomorrow, tomorrow we must follow the specifications for marrying a wife. We cannot treat Yu Wei unfairly."

After these words were spoken, Su Yuwei looked at Li Ling'er in confusion, not understanding why Li Mu had to do all this when he was obviously coming back soon.

It’s not that she was unwilling to marry Li Mu. As long as she could be with Li Mu, Su Yuwei would be willing to be a concubine, even if she was just a maid serving Li Mu.

Without waiting for Su Yuwei to ask, Li Linger said,

"Your Majesty has granted the marriage, it is true, but it has not been made public yet. If he really becomes the prince consort, what will you do, Yuwei?"

As she spoke, Li Ling'er walked out from behind the desk, slowly approached Su Yuwei, and said earnestly,

"Only if you two have a legitimate relationship first, will it be possible to reject this marriage."

"Miss Su is only a concubine after all. If His Majesty really wants to grant her a marriage, he probably won't take that into consideration. Why don't we just change the concubine into a wife?"

At this time, Xu Youzhi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"no!"

However, the first person to refuse was Su Yuwei herself.

The three of them looked at Su Yuwei. Although Su Yuwei did not explain, the people present were not stupid.

Even Li Ling'er quickly understood what Su Yuwei meant. Her eyes softened, with a hint of heartache in them.

As the head of the Zongheng family, there is nothing wrong with Su Yuwei becoming a concubine.

But it would be interesting if she became the wife of the prince of Yanwang Mansion.

Not to mention that the Prince of Yan married a princess of the previous dynasty, and the eldest son of the Prince of Yan, Li Ru, married a woman from the Ran Nu family.

As for the Zongheng family, they had previously joined forces with the aristocratic families and almost massacred the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Li Mu then married the leader of the Zongheng family.

The Prince of Yan's Mansion, from the Prince of Yan, the eldest son and the second son, has become a laughing stock among the people of Quanxing Dynasty.

It was just like the world before Li Mu traveled through time.

If Li Mu stayed in the fish pond of the island country and got scumbaged once, others would say that he was bringing glory to the country.

But if Li Mu marries a wife from an island country and brings her home, even if others don't say anything on the surface, they may poke Li Mu in the back behind his back.
