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

Zhang Hanrui didn't burst out laughing until he ran all the way back to the restaurant and rushed into the room.

He couldn't stop laughing at once, and after a long while he held his stomach and muttered to himself:

"A young widow of a doctor? You asked for this... Judging from her figure... she should be able to withstand the ordeal."

"Why are you so happy, sister?"

At this time, Xu Youzhi walked out from the inner room with lotus steps, a faint smile on her face.

Zhang Hanrui narrowed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and tilted her head to look at Xu Youzhi.

"Sister, this is my room. I didn't mean to hide in there."

Seeing Zhang Hanrui's expression, Xu Youzhi unconsciously took a few steps back and quickly began to explain.

"What do you want to do?"

Zhang Hanrui suddenly changed the subject, her voice was icy cold, her eyes curved into crescents, but they seemed to be able to penetrate straight into the soul.

"Sister, I...I...I just want to help."

"help?"

Zhang Hanrui hooked her finger at Xu Youzhi.

"come over."

Hearing this, Xu Youzhi's body trembled slightly, but she still dragged her steps to Zhang Hanrui's side.

"elder sister…"

Zhang Hanrui slowly raised her hand, pinched Xu Youzhi's chin, and said in a leisurely tone:

"All of this was your idea?"

"Yes."

Xu Youzhi forced a smile on her face, but her eyes turned away, not daring to meet Zhang Hanrui's gaze.

Zhang Hanrui's fingers brushed across Xu Youzhi's cheek, and she couldn't help but sigh:

"With such a pretty face, that boy really doesn't know what's good for him."

"Sister, Master... Youzhi knows she was wrong."

Hearing this, Zhang Hanrui retracted her hand, sighed slightly, and a kind smile appeared on her face:

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

"Youzhi shouldn't have taken the initiative..."

However, before Xu Youzhi finished speaking, Zhang Hanrui interrupted directly:

"Too immature!"

Xu Youzhi was stunned, looked up at Zhang Hanrui, and heard Zhang Hanrui continue:

"Go ahead and think about it yourself."

"Yes! Youzhi remembered it."

It was not until Xu Youzhi walked out of the room that the smile on Zhang Hanrui's face suddenly turned cold, and a piece of cloth appeared in her hand.

With a cold snort, he opened the cloth strip, and his two willow eyebrows suddenly frowned.

The strip of cloth read: "If you stay with Li Mu when the poison takes effect, you may survive."

On the corridor outside the house, as Xu Youzhi just walked out of the door, she felt her feet go weak and she almost fell down.

Then his expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he raised his hand to wipe his chest.

At this moment, a hand wrapped around her waist. Xu Youzhi was startled. Before she could scream, she heard a familiar voice behind her:

"Why can't you stand steadily?"

Xu Youzhi turned slightly sideways, then took two steps back:

"Lord, master."

"How many times have I told you to call me sister?"

Zhang Hanrui had a smile on her face and a caring tone in her voice.

"Sister, I have something to tell Youzhi."

Xu Youzhi asked with her head down.

"Nothing, I almost forgot just now, that's your room, seeing you're like this, go back and rest."

Hearing this, Xu Youzhi nodded and walked quickly towards her room. At this time, she heard Zhang Hanrui behind her say:

"By the way, Xiao Shisan is fine. He was brought back by the young widow from the doctor's family."

Xu Youzhi paused and said:

"Your Highness, good fortune will come to you."

After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked into the room, quickly closing the door.

He put his ear to the door until half an incense stick of time had passed, then he turned and went back to the inner room.

He frantically took out the strip of cloth from his chest and opened it.

Looking at the small words on the cloth, Xu Youzhi was stunned for a long time.

Suddenly, the expression on her face changed. She angrily threw the strip of cloth to the ground, stepped on it with her embroidered shoes as if to vent her anger, and her lips opened and closed slightly, as if she was cursing something.

However, all this happened without making a sound.

Not sure if she was tired or if she had vented enough anger in her heart, Xu Youzhi bent her body, supported her knees with her hands, and took a few deep breaths.

He carefully picked up the strip of cloth, lit the oil lamp beside him, and placed the strip of cloth on top.

He watched the cloth strip burn out, and his tense body relaxed slightly.

As if all the strength had been drained from his body, he staggered to the couch, fell down, and buried his head in the quilt.

Faintly, one could hear very suppressed, low sobs.

At the same time, Xu Youzhi was in the room below.

Princess Yan lay on the couch, her beautiful eyes trembling slightly and an unnatural blush on her cheeks.

"Mu'er... no... you can't..."

His legs unconsciously clamped the quilt together and his voice was unclear, obviously he was talking in his sleep.

Just then, there was an urgent knock on the door: "Princess!"

"light…"

Princess Yan sat up abruptly, looked around blankly, and it took her a moment to come back to her senses.

She hurriedly got out of bed, but before she took two steps, her brows frowned again. She turned around, took out a new dress from the closet, and jumped back onto the bed.

...

"Why did the princess take so long to open the door?"

When the King of Yan saw the door open, he walked past the Princess and strode into the room.

"The granddaughter of Mr. Ge has brought Mu'er out. You should pack up and get ready to leave."

Hearing this, Princess Yan was stunned for a moment, the joy in her eyes flashed away, and she was silent for a long time before she asked doubtfully:

"To the capital?"

Prince Yan picked up the teapot on the table, opened the lid and took a few gulps. He wiped his sleeves and said:

"Go to Tianzong!"

"Tianzong? What am I going to do there?"

The Princess of Yan looked at the Prince of Yan strangely, then turned her body to the side.

"I don't know. That's what Han Rui said. Don't worry about it. Mu'er's current condition should not be very good. I think Tianzong has a solution."

Princess Yan slightly exerted force on her hands hidden in her sleeves, hesitated for a moment and asked:

"not too good?"

"Alright, ask me on the way. I still have some other things to arrange."

Prince Yan immediately stood up and strode out of the house.

Of course he would not admit that he had never asked Li Mu what his current situation was.

He didn't understand even if he asked. Anyway, Ge Peining said that nothing would happen and he didn't need to worry at all.

Outside the restaurant, Ge Peining carefully put Li Mu into the carriage.

Then he frowned and looked at the sergeant beside him: "What are you doing blocking here!"

Several soldiers kept glancing into the carriage. It was obvious that Ge Peining was less attractive to them than the unconscious Li Mu.

"Husband... um... Miss, the prince has ordered that you wait for the princess to set off together."

The leading soldier lowered his head, glanced secretly at Ge Peining, then quickly looked away and said respectfully.

"King Yan ordered it?"

Ge Peining frowned and asked in surprise.

"Yes!"

At this time, Mu Zhenge Lao and Mo Wuyan came out from the saints' center in the distance.

The three of them arrived in front of the carriage in a flash.

Elder Ge looked at Ge Peining with complicated eyes, and after a long while he asked:

"Have you thought it through?"

Ge Peining looked back at Li Mu in the carriage, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her tone was very firm:

"He won't let me down."

Seeing this, Ge Lao stroked his beard and laughed loudly:

"Okay, go ahead and leave the rest to Grandpa."

When the soldiers standing by heard what Ge Peining said about whether it was a loss or not, they all had an expression of "as expected" on their faces.

Then they all took a few steps back, acting as if they had heard nothing.

Outside the restaurant, Prince Yan gave a few more instructions to Princess Yan, then turned around and walked towards the Sage's Residence.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Ge was obviously stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and didn't say much.

It was not until late at night that Prince Yan came out of the Saint's Residence and returned to the restaurant. He was shocked to find Zhang Hanrui sitting alone in the hall on the second floor.

King Yan just glanced at it and ignored it.

At this time, Zhang Hanrui said leisurely:

"Brother-in-law, this is too generous. Are you really going to let the princess go to Tianzong with you?"

King Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say..."

"I did say I wanted someone with a decent appearance, but Princess..."

Zhang Hanrui was obviously trying to hold back her smile, but she saw King Yan wave his hand and said:

"I heard that the Tianzong sect was composed of women. The princess is only a few years older than you, and she is very good at handling things. It won't be difficult to negotiate with them. You can rest assured. I know what's going on."

Zhang Hanrui gave King Yan a strange look and asked tentatively, "Brother-in-law never asked, how to save people?"
