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

Ya Ke thought about it and said with a relaxed tone:

"Li Mu doesn't dare to kill us. When someone from Prince Jiang's mansion arrives, he will release us. In fact, Li Mu has saved us a lot of trouble."

"trouble?"

Song Chi looked up at Ya Ke, confusion in his eyes.

"We have been planning this for many years. We did act hastily this time, but with Li Mu's help, your identity as the ninth son of the Jiang Palace can be confirmed."

Ya Ke smoothed the hair by her ears, looking very proud.

"We had no choice but to replace you and Song Chi on the road this time. If he hadn't discovered your existence, we shouldn't have been so hasty."

"There are still many loopholes in this."

As she spoke, the smile on Ya Ke's face grew more intense, and she couldn't help but speak a little louder.

"But after this incident, you don't have to face that woman surnamed Lu anymore. It's reasonable for your temperament to change after losing your beloved. If something goes wrong in the future, it will be easy to resolve."

"As for the decline in my skills, it can all be attributed to Li Mu's medicine."

Ya Ke became more and more proud as she spoke, and she even laughed out loud.

Song Chi frowned, obviously not as optimistic as Ya Ke, and reminded carefully:

"Those two ladies..."

"Of course I will leave with the young master." Ya Ke smiled and returned to her infatuated look, saying delicately:

"I have a deep love for the Ninth Young Master and I serve him as my master. The Young Master must take me back to Jiang Cheng and keep me by his side. Could it be that Li Mu dares not release me if the Jiang Palace asks?"

Hearing this, Song Chi showed difficulty on his face and said hesitantly:

"He...he should dare..."

Ya Ke narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Chi fiercely, saying angrily:

"What do you mean?"

Song Chi's eyes flashed with fear, and he reminded:

"Brother Ito and son..."

"So what? Those three pieces of trash are dead, so there's no need to mention them anymore!"

Ya Ke did not hide the disgust on her face at all, as if the person who died was not her brother, but an enemy.

Immediately, he showed impatience on his face, frowned and asked:

"Just say what you want to say."

Song Chi gritted his teeth, thought for a moment and said:

"This provocation is to test the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and secondly, to prevent my subordinates from directly confronting the woman from the Lu family. After all, we don't know the specific relationship between Song Chi and that woman..."

"Get to the point!" Ya Ke said angrily.

"What I mean is that we have overlooked an important thing before."

"Are you talking about Li Mu's strength?"

Ya Ke looked at Song Chi with confusion in her eyes.

"Li Mu's strength is indeed formidable, but there are countless strange people and things in Xing Dynasty, so this is not surprising. What I want to say is, how could there be a prince's mansion in the capital of Xing Dynasty?"

"You mean..." Ya Ke's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Song Chi nodded appropriately and said, "Proton."

"Ha! I was wondering why Li Mu was so arrogant. It turns out he was fearless."

Ya Ke snorted coldly and spoke lightly.

Ya Ke could think of it, there had been rumors before that Emperor Hongwen and Prince Yan were not on good terms.

The court was also full of talk about reducing the power of the vassal states.

Although there are also rumors that it was all a play performed by Emperor Hongwen and Prince of Yan.

But who can tell for sure about this kind of thing...

After all, as Prince Yan repeatedly made military achievements, his reputation grew.

In the north today, there are many people who do not know the emperor, but few who do not know the King of Yan.

Li Mu was the only heir qualified to inherit the title of King of Yan.

As long as Li Mu did not commit the crime of treason, he could really walk around the capital with his free will.

"Do you think that Emperor Xingchao wants to win over Li Mu, or..." Ya Ke asked.

Song Chi was startled, and replied respectfully: "I don't know, since ancient times, the thoughts of emperors have been the most difficult to predict."

Ya Ke nodded, seeming to agree with this statement. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said:

"Let's not talk about this for now. The North is too far away from our Great Dynasty Empire. Moreover, we have been planning in Jiangcheng for many years, and we can't tell the difference right now..."

"Miss, what I mean is that if Li Mu dares to kill you, he can also kill me! If we cannot satisfy him, we will never be able to leave this prince's mansion."

Seeing that Ya Ke didn't understand what he meant at all, Song Chi interrupted her quickly.

Hearing this, Ya Ke's face turned pale, and returned to normal after a moment. After thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said:

"Li Mu is obsessed with music... I don't think he will..."

"The young lady is confused!"

Seeing this, Song Chi sighed and said earnestly,

"Over the years, I have devoted myself to studying the culture of the Xing Dynasty, and I have a deep understanding of these princes and marquises."

Then, Song Chi knocked his head heavily to the ground and said in a serious tone:

"I can assert that if the young lady leaves here today and still claims to be deeply in love with the Ninth Young Master, she will not live until tomorrow."

"presumptuous!"

Ya Ke yelled angrily and waved his hand in the direction of Song Chi.

Only then did he realize that he no longer had any true energy. After a long silence, he said coldly:

"Even if I...I...but I have the same height as Yin, he won't be able to..."

Although her tone was cold, the halting way she spoke these words showed that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.

Hearing this, Song Chi, who was crawling on the ground, sneered, but his tone was very solemn:

"Young lady, you should know that the people of Xing Dynasty attach great importance to the chastity of women."

"What do you mean? Women in my Great Dynasty Empire don't value chastity?"

Ya Ke frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with what Song Chi said. After thinking for a while, he asked,

"Even so, Song Chi and I don't have... let alone chastity. Don't all men like to conquer... conquer..."

"You two ladies, although you have learned some charm techniques, you have never had the opportunity to use them, so you don't understand these."

As he spoke, Song Chi slowly stood up, turned around and sat back on the haystack, and said in a calm tone,

"With a background like Li Mu, he can have any woman he wants. Even if it's the Second Miss, if he doesn't get the sweetness for a long time, he will probably lose interest."

Hearing Song Chi's words, Ya Ke's clenched fists trembled slightly. After taking a long breath, he gritted his teeth and asked:

"You mean that if my sister and I don't obey him, we will die!"

"After the young lady fainted last night, there is one thing you probably don't know."

Song Chi's tone was relaxed, but Ya Ke's expression gradually became solemn.

"What's the matter?"

"The eldest lady should be one, and the two guardians died of poisoning." Song Chi said.

"What do you mean?" Ya Ke frowned and a ridiculous idea came to his mind.

In her opinion, Li Mu was not afraid of her poisonous smoke and was obviously an expert in using poison.

The medicine she had that could seal the Qi sea could also confirm her guess.

But Song Chi now said that Li Mu did not use poison...

"Without poison, how could they..." Ya Ke's voice sounded a little dry.

After all, with the strength of the two brothers Teng Gao and Teng Yuan, even the leader of the Huanglan Sect would not be able to take them down easily.

"In one move, I saw it clearly. Li Mu was flirting with the maid, and the two elders were beheaded while chatting and laughing."

"That's impossible! Then Li Mu is even more..."

Ya Ke exclaimed, her eyes full of disbelief.

But looking at Song Chi's expression, the look on his face gradually solidified, and his body couldn't help but stagger back two steps, muttering:

"If that's the case, then I won't have any complaints if I die here."

"Young lady, you're more than that. Rather than becoming a plaything or even dying, have you ever thought about becoming the master of this prince's mansion?"

Ya Ke was startled, and suddenly turned to look at Song Chi, and then heard Song Chi's bewitching voice, slowly saying:

"By then, I will control the northwest, the eldest lady will control the Prince of Yan's Palace, and the millions of troops of the Xing Dynasty will be in our hands. With top masters like Li Mu, there is no need to worry about the Saint Emperor's plan failing!"

Ya Ke's body trembled slightly, and she said uncertainly: "So Yin would..."

Song Chi nodded, then stood up and knelt in front of Ya Ke, speaking in an extremely serious tone:

"The Second Miss is very righteous and should have seen through this a long time ago. We are all the people of the Holy Emperor. We are not afraid of death, so why should we be afraid of anything else?"
