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

Mingxi Valley, on the cliff of Jiangxian Cliff.

After listening to Yin Huanping's story, Li Mu felt his brain freeze.

"No wonder when I saw Li Ru before, she didn't look like the Princess of Yan at all. I originally thought it was because of the old man's strong genes, but after all this time, it turns out that she is not his biological child."

Yin Huanping saw Li Mu's expression, pursed her lips, and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone:

"I even told you how to kill the king and the father, and you still don't believe it?"

As he spoke, tears flowed down his face like they were free:

"That day in the pond, I was confused and just... didn't fall. If you don't believe me, I might as well die."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped off the cliff.

The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, are crying, making a fuss, and threatening to commit suicide a woman's innate skill?

You won't die if you fall down...

Although he thought so in his heart, his hands did not slow down. He quickly grabbed Yin Huanping and gently persuaded her:

"Don't worry, I don't care about this..."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Li Mu's words, Yin Huanping glared and said angrily:

"Why don't you care? You are my only man, you must care!"

"Okay, okay, I care... No, I mean I believe you!"

Li Mu held down Yin Huanping's twisting waist and said helplessly,

"I didn't say I didn't believe you..."

Thinking of what Yin Huanping had mentioned before, Li Mu finally came to his senses.

That day, he was tortured and forced to absorb Die Meng's true energy, which caused the Qi Sea meridians to be severely damaged. If it weren't for that "confusion", Li Mu would never wake up again.

He looked at Yin Huanping with complicated eyes. It seemed that it was really Yin Huanping who saved him.

It's just that this favor is really a bit unfair.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu said:

"Princess, thank you..."

"What did you call me?"

Unexpectedly, before Li Mu could finish his words, Yin Huanping stopped him sternly.

Li Mu was stunned, and looking at Yin Huanping's slightly angry expression, he couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing!"

"Ping'er."

Without waiting for Yin Huanping to speak again, Li Mu grabbed her hand and called her softly.

Hearing this voice, Yin Huanping was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it. She stared at Li Mu for a long time until she saw the smirk on Li Mu's face.

He frowned sharply, held Li Mu's cheeks with both hands, and lowered his head to kiss him.

Seeing this, Li Mu no longer hesitated and put his arms around Yin Huanping's waist. This time, he didn't have to pretend to faint...

Thinking of Yin Huanping's experience, and the fact that such a woman was so fond of him, Li Mu still felt a little flattered.

According to Yin Huanping's description.

He entered the martial arts world at the age of five, when others didn't even know what body training was.

Yin Huanping is already a fourth-rank warrior of the three schools of internal and external body.

With his amazing talent for cultivation, he won a position for himself and his mother, who was originally a palace maid.

When he was nine years old, three rebel kings approached the city. It was Yin Huanping who took the initiative to contact them and opened the city gate with the help of internal and external forces.

He took the then King of Yan and King of Jiang with him, entered the palace through a secret passage, and personally cut off the emperor's head.

Although Yin Huanping said it very simply, the emperor, in order to seek immortality, sacrificed her mother and twelve other concubines in the harem to the imperial teacher at that time, which led to her mother's tragic death.

But Li Mu was well aware of the filthiness of the matter, and it was not as trivial as Yin Huanping said.

Li Mu just couldn't understand what kind of emperor would believe that in order to achieve immortality he needed to sacrifice his concubines, who must have given birth to his children.

Anyone with such discerning eyes could tell the sinister intention at a glance. How could an emperor not know this?

Not all of the thirteen concubines had the same status and background as Yin Huanping's mother.

Many of them were daughters of important officials or young ladies from aristocratic families. Li Mu really couldn't understand why such a stupid thing directly offended all the civil and military officials and aristocratic families in the court.

What's even more outrageous is that afterwards these princesses and princes were sent out of the palace and kept in various places in the capital.

It is said that it is used as the center of the formation to arrange the large formation.

But in Li Mu's view, this was just like letting the tiger return to the mountain. He sent someone out to inform the elders of each family so as to avenge his mother.

Isn’t Yin Huanping a good example?

"Sigh~"

Li Mu was thinking when he suddenly felt pain between his lips. He took a breath and heard Yin Huanping say viciously:

"Don't be distracted!"

Li Mu begged for mercy, then thought of another thing and asked:

"After Emperor Hongwen ascended the throne, you lived in the palace for another ten years and only left at the age of nineteen. How old was Li Ru that year?"

When Yin Huanping saw Li Mu suddenly ask this question, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he quickly said:

"Although the prince has always claimed that Li Ru is only one year older than you, in fact, when I met Sister Mei, the boy was already more than ten years old."

As he said this, he looked at Li Mu with some grievance:

"If you still don't believe me, you can ask that crazy woman whether I was..."

Li Mu waved his hand and explained:

"That's not what I meant. I meant that Emperor Hongwen must know that Li Ru is not your son, and the time doesn't match! But does he know that Li Ru's biological mother is a Rannu woman?"

Hearing this, Yin Huanping thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Should...you not know, right?"

"This matter is very secretive. Apart from Prince Yan and Han Rui, even the two boys themselves don't know about it. Your Majesty should also..."

"Don't you know?"

Li Mu frowned. He always felt that this matter could not be hidden from the person in the palace.

"Um, can you call me again..."

"Ok?"

Seeing Yin Huanping's shy look, Li Mu felt a little strange, but he still called out "Ping'er" obediently.

Yin Huanping responded softly and said,

"From now on, when no one is around, you can call me like this. I love to hear it."

"Heh." Li Mu smiled and asked, "Why when no one is around? Didn't you say before that you wanted me to go to the King of Yan to ask for you? I took it seriously, I absolutely cannot..."

"No!" Unexpectedly, before Li Mu finished speaking, Yin Huanping said in surprise,

"I, after all... your reputation..."

"For you, I don't care!" Li Mu said shamelessly.

Li Mu had no psychological burden at all for saying such shameless words.

Yin Huanping looked at Li Mu's eyes, which gradually became blurred. She hugged Li Mu's neck tightly and said softly:

"Sister Mei has been kind to me, and the prince has been very kind to me over the years. If you speak directly, things will become very troublesome..."

"Impossible! There's no room for negotiation on this matter!"

Li Mu interrupted directly.

"Why are you so domineering?"

Yin Huanping rolled her eyes at Li Mu and explained,

"You don't have to show up for this matter. At worst, I can be like that crazy woman. As long as I don't let others know..."

"If Auntie wants to go back and be the princess, I can pretend that what happened before never happened. Otherwise, there is no room for negotiation!"

Li Mu's face darkened. He didn't have that kind of habit, so he wouldn't accept this humiliation.

Yin Huanping looked at Li Mu, who looked like he had nothing to discuss with her. After thinking for a moment, she pressed her cherry lips against Li Mu's earlobe and said with a sweet breath:

"Don't you want me to call you Mu'er and you call me Auntie..."

"I'm Ji Ou!"

Li Mu thought about the scene, coughed twice, and said righteously: "I don't want to!"

Yin Huanping looked at Li Mu's hypocritical expression, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and ran her fingers across Li Mu's chest, saying coquettishly:

"Just agree to it, okay? Please, please, please..."

"Reason?" Li Mu looked at Yin Huanping with a smile and said calmly, "If you still want to repay a favor, then there's no need to tell me."

Yin Huanping looked at Li Mu with a serious expression, then she started to chuckle and praised him:

"After all, he is the man I like. I can't hide it even if I want to."

"The prince is not going to let you continue to bear the name of that beast. Before your identity is confirmed, it is inconvenient to cause trouble."
