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

Li Mu was right about this. Xu Doudou originally wanted to target King Yan.

Prince Yan dismissed all the servants and went into the main hall with the two of them.

There were only three of them in the hall at this time.

Prince Yan looked at Li Mu with some complexity, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

This reminded Li Mu of the scene where a father and son fought for a daughter. He quickly shook his head and said,

"Old man, just say what you want to say."

Li Mu had no intention of provoking Xu Doudou in the first place, and now that he thought that she and King Yan had been having an affair, he completely lost interest in her.

The throbbing that was originally hidden deep in my heart suddenly disappeared.

The King of Yan hesitated for a moment, then moved closer to Li Mu and whispered,

"In the future, don't make such a big fuss about this kind of thing, especially since the first day of the new year is still in the mansion. If this matter gets to the third brother, then His Majesty, your father won't be able to cover for you."

Hearing this, Li Mu was stunned and thought to himself,

"What do you mean? He thought we were off-roading on the rooftop?"

King Yan saw Li Mu's expression, patted Li Mu on the shoulder, gave Li Mu a reassuring look, and then said,

"I know Miss Xu's father well. This girl is pretty good. Don't worry. As long as you don't act too blatantly and save some face for His Majesty, I will take care of the rest for you."

Li Mu finally understood that he had overthought before, and felt somewhat ashamed.

But in the eyes of King Yan, this expression meant that Li Mu took his words to heart.

He laughed twice, looked at Xu Doudou, and said,

"Xu girl, since you and Mu'er love each other, I will not make things difficult for you. You just need to be careful."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and said in a serious tone,

"Feelings are feelings. Please don't mix anything else into it. Don't seduce my Mu'er, lest you hurt the relationship between you and me."

Li Mu probably understood it now.

Xu Doudou's father and King Yan were old friends. She must have asked King Yan for her so-called conditions, but he did not agree.

She happened to meet Li Mu in the dilapidated house again, and thought that Li Mu had come to see her specially, so she set her sights on Li Mu again.

After figuring all this out, Li Mu waved his hand and said,

"Miss Xu and I just met by chance. We are friends at best, and there is no other relationship."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Dou Dou with some apology.

Li Mu thought of Xu Doudou's previous behavior and realized that it was no wonder that he had misunderstood her as a gold digger.

King Yan looked at the two of them strangely, thinking about their actions on the roof before, and his eyes were filled with suspicion.

"Could it be that he is a man who abandons his wife after having sex with her? It is impossible that my Mu'er is not such a person. It must be that Miss Xu asked Mu'er about that matter and Mu'er did not agree, so this is the reason."

I thought about slapping the table.

"Mu'er really knows the big picture!"

Li Mu and the other two were attracted by the sudden movement of Prince Yan and looked over together.

King Yan smiled awkwardly, gestured "you continue", and said nothing more.

Li Mu looked at Xu Doudou and said seriously,

"Miss Xu, you and I are acquainted. If you have any enemies or difficulties, just tell me directly. I will definitely do my best to help you within my ability. As for the 'reward' you mentioned, there is no need to mention it. Just treat it as a joke."

Li Mu guessed that it was probably another story of a mortal enemy and the heroine was willing to sacrifice herself for him.

Although Li Mu has other things to do right now, it doesn't prevent him from figuring out the context of the matter first and giving Xu Doudou a definite answer as to whether he can help.

After all, the two of them were comrades who had fought side by side, not to mention that Xu Doudou was so beautiful and had a great figure.

"His Royal Highness."

Xu Doudou stood up and grabbed Li Mu's sleeve, with gratitude in her eyes.

Li Mu subconsciously patted the back of Xu Dou Dou's hand, motioning her to sit down and talk slowly.

Feeling the warmth on the back of her hand, Xu Doudou quickly pulled her hand back like a frightened rabbit, and two blushes appeared on her face.

Li Mu slapped his own hand that had done something wrong and thought to himself,

"How can you not realize it... No, this is a rare friendship for me, I must cherish it, I must cherish it."

At this time, Xu Doudou took out a package from his arms, placed it in front of Li Mu, and said,

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I don't have any enemies."

As he spoke, he slowly opened the package, his voice becoming a little excited.

"Look at this."

Li Mu looked at the package, then looked at Xu Doudou in confusion.

"What do you mean? Testing the cadres with three potatoes?"

"This is a new type of food. It can..."

Xu Doudou was introducing him to Li Mu with a face full of longing, but suddenly stopped talking, looked at Li Mu in astonishment, and said in a lost voice,

"You, you know this thing?"

Li Mu was stunned, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.

I thought to myself,

"I'm familiar with this plot, eh? No, why would I have to give you my body to get you a potato? Forget it, it's just a brainless and fun thing, no logic required."

At this time, Xu Doudou asked anxiously,

"Does the prince really know this thing?"

Li Mu nodded mysteriously, recalled the basic properties of potatoes, and said seriously,

"Potatoes, also known as potatoes..."

He chattered on and on, pouring out all the knowledge he had gained from online articles before traveling through time.

Hearing this, Xu Doudou's eyes were full of stars, and she said happily,

"I said this was a treasure, I didn't expect it could be used as medicine."

Although Xu Doudou didn't understand most of what Li Mu said, the planting habits were exactly the same as what she had verified, and there were even many things that she didn't understand.

He immediately stood up, held the potato in his palm, presented it to Li Mu, and said loudly,

"The farmer is willing to present this item to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and only asks..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Before he could finish his words, King Yan slammed the table and interrupted what Xu Doudou was about to say.

Seeing the King of Yan's reaction, Li Mu came to his senses a little and thought to himself,

"If potatoes were placed in the food-scarce dynasties before I traveled through time, they would indeed be considered a powerful weapon. At least that's what was written in the novels I read."

"But in Xing Dynasty, it seems that it is not that precious."

Li Mu thought of some history books he had read about the rise of dynasties.

Due to the existence of farmers, the agricultural development of the Xing Dynasty at least surpassed that of the Southern and Northern Dynasties before the time travel, and even approached the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The various improved varieties of rice and wheat promoted by farmers had much higher yields than those of the dynasties he knew about.

In addition, almost everyone in Xing Dynasty practiced martial arts, and they were very adept at farming.

But these potatoes are really good stuff.

Li Mu couldn't help but think of fried potatoes, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder.

Then he searched in his mind for the origin of cumin pepper, and after a moment he sighed, realizing that he suffered from his lack of education.

Seeing that Prince Yan was about to say something else, Li Mu waved his hand to stop him. He was also a little curious about what Xu Doudou wanted.

Even if the Xing Dynasty no longer lacks food, a type of food that can be used as staple food is of great significance to any dynasty or country.

Seeing that the King of Yan really stopped talking, Xu Doudou was surprised, and his eyes became more and more fiery. He said righteously,

"Although the people of Xingchao have been able to eat their fill thanks to the efforts of my farming family for generations, the countless military expenses every year still make many people suffer from taxes."

As he said that, he stood up, knelt on one knee in front of Li Mu, bowed his head and said,

"I have a good idea to improve this situation."

When Li Mu heard this, he didn't expect it to be this kind of thing, and turned to look at King Yan.

Li Mu was very self-aware when it came to such matters of family and country. Not to mention that he was a fake, even if he was really the Prince of Yan, he could not get involved in such matters.

What's more, what Li Mu longed for was to be alone with a sword, standing at the pinnacle of the world, with beautiful wives and concubines behind him.

Instead, he wore a yellow robe and sat with civil and military officials at his side.

But the King of Yan became interested at this time, and he wanted to know what Li Mu thought about this matter.

He gave Li Mu an affirmative look, indicating that it was you who was asked for help, not him, so you should make your own decision.

When Xu Doudou saw Prince Yan's behavior, the balance in her heart had been overturned by Li Mu.

Originally, King Yan rejected her request. She had planned to go west to try King Jiang, even though her father had no relationship with King Jiang.

But at least with the relationship with King Yan, it wouldn't be difficult to meet him.

As a result, she met Li Mu again, and recalled the scene she had accidentally encountered during the day, where a wife acted coquettishly to her husband and asked for jewelry.

I don't know whether he was attracted by Li Mu's beauty or wanted to sacrifice himself for the welfare of the people of the world, but he said those words to Li Mu.

Li Mu saw Xu Doudou's fiery eyes, as if he wanted to eat him, so he dryly coughed twice and said,

"What's the plan? Tell me first."
