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

The next day, Jing'an City, the Imperial Palace.

The middle-aged man in dragon robe smashed the table in front of him and said angrily:

"The princess has been missing for so long, what have you been doing? You are only reporting now!"

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace prostrated themselves on the ground trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.

The emperor on the dragon throne glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, suppressed the urge to kill, and closed his eyes without saying a word.

Seeing this, the old eunuch beside him said loudly:

"Back off, if this matter gets out, watch out for your heads."

Everyone felt as if they had been pardoned. They kowtowed in thanks and staggered out of the hall.

After the palace maids and eunuchs left, the emperor slowly opened his eyes and spoke in a cold tone.

"Go and call that little beast to me."

The old eunuch standing by knew clearly that the 'little beast' the emperor was referring to was the prince.

The emperor must have guessed that it was impossible for the little princess to leave the palace alone, and he kept it a secret for so long. There must be the Crown Prince, who always obeys his sister's words, behind all this.

Soon, a man with a handsome appearance and a strong build walked into the hall.

"My son, please see your father."

Hearing the voice, the emperor slowly raised his eyes and looked at the prince who was kneeling in the hall, and said in a low voice:

"What is Chuyi doing recently? She hasn't visited her mother for a long time."

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of letting him stand up, the prince was still a little confused and was about to say what he had prepared long ago.

When he looked up, he happened to meet his father's eyes. He was startled and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He lowered his head and replied:

"I will go find her right away and pay my respects to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress."

"Oh? You can find her? Then I'll wait for you here, go ahead."

Hearing this, the prince's remaining hope was gone, and he said anxiously:

"I know I was wrong, please punish me, father."

The emperor on the dragon throne subconsciously patted the table in front of him, but hit nothing. He glanced at the sawdust on the ground and took a long breath.

"Don't tell the truth, where did Chuyi go?"

"Yes, it should be that he went to the pass last winter to look for the Princess of Yan."

The prince saw that he could no longer hide the truth, so he had no choice but to speak out.

"answer?"

The emperor frowned, puzzled as to why the master and disciple hadn't seen each other for several years. Even if they wanted to meet, they didn't have to leave without permission. Could it be related to Ran Nu Ren?

"Chu Yi said, say it."

"You bastard, your hesitation makes you look like a crown prince. Just say what you want to say."

As he spoke, a boot flew towards the prince and hit him squarely in the face.

The prince cried out in pain, looked at the other boot in the emperor's hand, and said quickly:

"Chu Yi said that the emperor intended to let her go to Rongyi to marry, and she wanted to ask the Princess of Yan to persuade the emperor to revoke his decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other boot slammed hard on the other side of the prince's face. The emperor jumped in front of the prince barefoot, pointed at his nose and cursed:

"Bullshit! It's just a small barbarian, and he wants to marry my daughter. What a dream!"

As he said this, he felt unsatisfied, so he took off the belt around his waist and started to whip the prince who was kneeling on the ground.

"You are ignorant in the first year of junior high school. Where is your brain?"

The belt fell hard on the prince's back. The prince's body shook noticeably, but he made no sound.

Seeing this, the emperor, who was already furious, became even more furious. The veins on his forehead twitched, but the belt in his hand did not fall.

He sat back on the dragon throne, looking at the prince with a look of disappointment. He was silent for a long time before finally speaking:

"Go down, and don't let your mother know about this first."

Afterwards, when only the emperor and the old eunuch were left in the hall, the emperor cursed to himself:

"What a coward! When I hit him, he didn't even know how to dodge."

The old eunuch standing by naturally didn't dare to respond. He just looked at the nose and the heart without saying a word.

"Otomo, what do you think about this?"

Seeing that the old eunuch didn't respond, the emperor asked.

"Your Highness is worried and confused. I wonder if His Majesty has already denied this matter."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the old eunuch could only reply.

The emperor shook his head, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Not many people know about this, but it has reached Chuyi's ears."

"Princess Yunhe must have been deceived by a villain. I will go find Her Highness and ask Her Highness to return to the palace."

The old eunuch fell to his knees before the emperor and begged for his life in a shrill voice.

"People in my Zhao family are not that squeamish. I'm just going out to visit relatives."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor thought for a moment and continued:

"Let Zou Pu lead people to find Chuyi. Just follow him and don't disturb him. By the way, inform King Yan."

After giving the order, he said to himself as if explaining:

"It would save her from using her status to oppress the people."

----

Wangqing County, on the busiest street in the city.

Li Mu squatted on the street with a depressed look on his face. Shan Shan behind him was holding a large wooden sign that read "King of Gua Kings".

On the second floor of the inn not far away, Zhao Chuyi was leaning against the window, supporting her chin with both hands, looking at the two of them with a smile on her face, like a young wife waiting for her husband to get off work.

Li Mu never expected that after wandering around the streets for a whole day, there wasn't even a single customer who wanted to have his fortune told.

He glanced at Zhao Chuyi at the window of the inn, feeling annoyed.

"I always feel like this girl is laughing at me. If I had known, I wouldn't have let Shanshan hold the sign. It would have been more effective if she was the drag."

Then Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the pedestrians on the road. He saw a man with green gas coming out of his head. His eyes lit up and he walked quickly towards the man.

"My dear brother, I see that you have a red forehead."

Before he finished speaking, the man glanced at Li Mu and started to curse:

"Look at your mother, are you looking for death? Get out of here."

Li Mu frowned and thought

"I'll take care of your business today."

She raised her hand and placed it on the man's shoulder, speaking calmly.

"My dear brother, please be patient."

The man felt the great force on his shoulder and tried to break free twice, but he couldn't. He looked at Li Mu with surprise and asked tentatively:

"We know each other?"

Li Mu raised his hand and pointed at the plaque behind him, then put his head close to the man's ear and whispered.

When the man heard what Li Mu said, he immediately became furious and cursed:

"Your wife is the one who cheats on men!"

The man's voice immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

Seeing this, Li Mu laughed inwardly.

"Why are you so loud? Are you afraid that others won't know?"

Li Mu took back his hand from the man's shoulder, and waited until the crowd had gathered before he slowly said:

"I just reminded you out of kindness because I think we have a connection. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

At this time, someone nearby saw the plaque behind Li Mu and asked in confusion:

"'Gua Wo Zhi Wang', what does that mean?"

"You are a Taoist fortune teller, you dare to claim to be king, you don't want to live anymore."

Everyone started talking about Li Mu's plaque, but forgot about the man's matter.

Shanshan walked to Li Mu and whispered:

"I said, it would be better to just write 'Fortune telling, two taels, no cheating, no cheating'."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd seemed to recognize the man and spoke up:

"Isn't this the son of Mr. Liu? He's not married yet, so how could he have a wife to cheat on him?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Mu with disdain and contempt in their eyes.

Several young ladies saw Li Mu's appearance and said with pity:

"You are a handsome young man, why would you go out and cheat people on the street?"

Then she heard the obviously older woman next to her say:

"My family just happens to be in need of a permanent worker. Why don't you come to my place, young man? I promise you will have good food and drink."

Then a woman immediately joked:

"Are you hiring a regular worker? Not only will he eat and drink well, but he will also serve you well?"

Li Mu was also a little confused at this time, thinking,

"That's impossible. Could it be that he often goes to brothels and rides the bus so often that a green light appears above his head? This is called, Ru Lu?"
