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

When Princess Yan heard what Li Mu said, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Although she had completed the secret order of King Yan, Li Mu's look just now always made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Looking at Zhao Chuyi in Li Mu's arms, he coughed twice and said softly,

"Chuyi, you go back and rest first. I'll take Mu'er to see the prince."

Zhao Chuyi's expression was obviously somewhat reluctant. Just as she was about to say that she could go together, she heard Princess Yan continue,

"If we talk about marriage, it's not good for you to just listen."

Hearing this, Zhao Chuyi's face flushed. She found herself still lying in Li Mu's arms. She stood up in a panic and nodded.

"I am indeed tired. I will go back and rest now."

During the whole process, he didn't even look at Li Mu.

Li Mu looked at Zhao Chuyi's back as she left and thought to himself,

"Now that you have it, you don't treasure it anymore? That's too fast."

At this time, Zhang Hanrui, who was behind him, poked Li Mu's back with her toes and said lightly,

"Let's go, I'll go too."

Li Mu looked back at Zhang Hanrui with some doubt.

"What is she doing there? Oh, she came to rescue King Yan last night. What is her relationship with King Yan?"

Then he looked at the Princess of Yan and was startled.

"Oh my god, could she be a princess too?"

Subconsciously, he touched the piece of cloth cut from the bed sheet in his arms, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"So what? Not to mention the princess, even if she's the queen or the empress dowager."

----

Li Mu did not go directly to see King Yan, but took a shower and changed his clothes first. After all, he could not keep wandering around the palace in servant's clothes.

As for why he and Zhang Hanrui were both wearing maids' and servants' clothes, no one asked.

Li Mu lay in the bathtub, enjoying the massage from the maid behind him, and sighed in his heart,

"This sugar-coated bullet is indeed not something that most people can withstand. Fortunately, I am shameless and have a strong will."

Li Mu criticized the extravagant life in the palace, and then began to plan.

The sudden action of Prince Yan really caught him off guard. Although he agreed verbally, he was still a little nervous.

But this is indeed an opportunity for him.

A chance to meet that mysterious 'aunt'.

Although Li Mu said it was calm, he was still somewhat upset about Su Yuwei's death.

Although I used various righteous reasons to tell myself that it was not my turn to avenge myself.

But Li Mu was an ordinary person after all. Even if he couldn't really kill that "aunt", he didn't want her to have an easy life.

In addition, Li Mu had a new understanding of his current strength, although the inexplicable self-protection mechanism last night left him with lingering fears.

But what is certain is that now, not just anyone can threaten him.

This made him do things with fewer worries. Perhaps this was the confidence that came from strength.

So, in fact, when Princess Yan just said those words, Li Mu was already a little moved. As for his subsequent behavior, how much of it was true and how much of it was false, only Li Mu himself knew.

Li Mu thought everything through, raised his hand and patted the maid's hand, ready to go and talk to King Yan. He still had many doubts in his mind and hoped to get answers from King Yan.

Unexpectedly, the maid who was peeking at Li Mu with a blushing face was so frightened by this action that she screamed out.

At this time, Zhang Hanrui's teasing voice sounded outside the door.

"Xiao Shisan, you have great stamina. You worked so hard last night, but you still have the energy to tease the maid."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open and Zhang Hanrui, in a white dress, stared at the room with a cold face.

He glanced at the panicked maid and said coldly,

"go out!"

Hearing this, the little maidservant nodded as if she had been pardoned, and trotted out of the room. Before leaving, she even considerately helped Li Mu close the door.

When Li Mu saw Zhang Hanrui again, he was still amazed by her appearance and couldn't help but smack his lips.

When Zhang Hanrui saw Li Mu's eyes, the coldness on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a foxy smile.

She walked to the bathtub with lotus steps, put her jade hands on Li Mu's shoulders, and kneaded them gently, with a resentful tone,

"You are really not picky. You just harmed others last night, and now you want to harm the little maid."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hanrui realized that he seemed to have scolded himself as well, and the strength in his hands increased a little.

Li Mu gasped in pain and quickly explained,

"I didn't, and I don't know why that little maid suddenly acted like that."

After saying that, Li Mu leaned his head back, feeling the softness behind his head, exhaled a long breath, and said lightly,

"What do you want to see me about, sister?"

Zhang Hanrui watched Li Mu's actions, the coquettish look on her face gradually faded away, and her smile became softer.

Instead of hiding, he leaned forward to make Li Mu lean on him more comfortably, but his tone was a little jealous.

"It's okay, can't I come to see you? Your Highness!"

When Li Mu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Sister, what is your relationship with King Yan?"

Zhang Hanrui knew that Li Mu was going to ask this, and she came here just to talk to Li Mu about this.

Now, she had a relationship with Li Mu by accident, and many things were out of her control.

Maybe even she herself didn't realize it. What she was more afraid of was that Li Mu would hate her after he knew the truth.

So she went to see him before Li Mu talked to King Yan.

In fact, Zhang Hanrui had already discussed this with the Prince of Yan and his wife. Although the Prince of Yan did not understand why, he agreed not to tell Li Mu about her identity for the time being.

But when Zhang Hanrui walked into the house, her mind changed. At the moment, she just wanted to confess to Li Mu.

If this was an interesting misunderstanding like this, with her usual personality, the deeper the secret, the more interesting things would become.

Zhang Hanrui thought about it, and in order not to show weakness in front of Li Mu, and to maintain her last bit of stubbornness, she resisted the urge to tell him everything immediately, and said with a smile,

"what you think."

Zhang Hanrui seemed to be teasing Li Mu with her fingertips intentionally or unintentionally, but in fact she was hiding her inner uneasiness.

Even if I am prepared to tell the truth, when the words come to my lips, I don't know how to start.

"princess?"

Li Mu asked in a joking tone, but his heart was already in his throat.

Zhang Hanrui paused with her hand on Li Mu's shoulder. She never expected that Li Mu would guess this identity.

Immediately, she couldn't help but hesitate, wondering whether she should answer yes or no.

Although Zhang Hanrui has never experienced love in the past 27 years, she knows a lot. She knows that some men just like that kind of style.

According to her previous personality, she would certainly answer yes in order to tease Li Mu.

According to the purpose of her visit today, the natural answer is no and she should just tell the truth.

However, Zhang Hanrui herself did not realize that in her subconscious, she had already begun to subconsciously want to please Li Mu.

Although she didn't say it, she was worried in her heart whether Li Mu would dislike her age. After all, she was not just two or three years older than Li Mu.

Li Mu naturally felt the change in Zhang Hanrui's hand movements, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Oh my god, she's really the princess!"

Immediately, Li Mu turned his head, stretched out his hand to his shoulder, and grasped Zhang Hanrui's snow-white and smooth soft hand. He looked at her with burning eyes and said in a firm tone,

"Whether you are a princess or a queen, you belong to me alone. No one can take you away from me."

Hearing this, Zhang Hanrui's heart seemed to be poked by something. Her head felt a little dizzy and her breathing became rapid.

Li Mu observed Zhang Hanrui's expression nervously, fearing that the clichéd scene of "I'm sorry, I can't!" would appear again. Seeing the faint glimmer of tears in Zhang Hanrui's eyes, he secretly thought it was not good.

Then, Zhang Hanrui suddenly leaned down, and her beautiful red lips stopped Li Mu from saying the next sweet words.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became charming.
