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

Chapter 682 Li Mu: "Do you want to be an empress?"

"..."

"That's right! Emperor Hongwen knows!"

Hearing Yin Huanping's words, Li Mu's expression suddenly froze, and he spoke with certainty after a long time.

He always thought that this was the personal behavior of Zhao Chuxi, the rebellious son. After all, it was not the first time he had caused trouble.

But if you think about it carefully, with such a big move, especially by the Fangji family, it is impossible that no clues would be discovered even if the court had weak control.

The only possibility is that Emperor Hongwen knew about this matter from beginning to end.

What's more, Emperor Hongwen is the one who truly controls the overall situation behind the scenes.

Li Mu nodded, looked at Yin Huanping, and asked,

"So Sister Ping wants to?"

"You have always disliked these things. We, we will not participate. The royal family just wants to weaken the Bai family. As long as, as long as the Bai family is willing to give in and give up some interests..."

Yin Huanping was halfway through her speech when she couldn't go on.

There were people from many schools of thought present.

Even Li Mu should be considered a disciple of Confucianism.

But she was very clear that there was no room for easing the situation this time, and she didn't want Li Mu to take risks, which might even turn against the King of Yan.

When Yin Huanping learned that Li Mu wanted to go to the palace to rescue people, she even thought of threatening him with death.

That's why he was so happy when he found out that Li Mu was trying to play a trick on Shan Yuan.

"Sister Ping, Keren has been bullied to the point of being bullied."

Li Mu looked at Liu Mingyan, who was standing in the corner. She was obviously extremely beautiful, but at this moment, she seemed to be trying her best to lower her head and hide her edge. He said,

"I promised Mingyan that I would treat her well, but she was almost kidnapped from my house... twice."

"Yuan Bao was injured. Two crossbow arrows hit him, one in the lower abdomen and one in the thigh. It must have been very painful when they were taken out."

Li Mu's tone was very calm, but the calmer it was, the more the girls could feel Li Mu's anger at the moment.

"It was Chuntao who failed to protect Miss Liu and Miss Yuanbao. Please punish her, sir."

Chuntao knelt down on one knee, lowered her head and did not dare to look at Li Mu.

Li Mu did not say anything to comfort her, nor did he let her get up. He knew Chuntao's temper and he liked it.

Chuntao is not a vase, but she really treats this place as her home, and the self-blame in her heart is the same as Li Mu's.

"Qingyi..." Yin Huanping didn't know how to comfort her. She opened her mouth but no words came out.

Li Mu used his palm to gently squeeze her soft and boneless little hand.

"Do you really want to be an enemy of the royal family?" Yin Huanping pursed her lips, and the words seemed to be forced out from between her teeth.

Li Mu shook his head. "Emperor Hongwen is considered a good emperor. I don't have the ambition to overthrow the dynasty."

Yin Huanping breathed a sigh of relief, but was also surprised that Li Mu would actually compromise. She felt happy but also a little disappointed.

This little man has grown up and knows how to judge the situation.

But it is a fact that Liu Mingyan was wronged, and it is also a fact that Yuanbao was injured. If he were to go there, Li Mu would definitely be extremely furious and would want to rush into the palace directly.

Maybe the dark air in his eyes will come out again.

But now Li Mu can endure these...

What if she is the one who gets wronged next time?

Just as she was daydreaming, she saw Li Mu suddenly grinning, laughing heartlessly.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its owner. I will settle accounts with whoever offended me."

"Emperor Hongwen is a good emperor, but he has nothing to do with Zhao Chuxi."

"Speaking of which, Sister Ping was once a member of the royal family, and now she is the eldest princess of Daxing. Do you want to be an empress?"

When these words were spoken, all the girls thought they had heard wrongly.

Yin Huanping, in particular, felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she heard what Li Mu said, as if a little kid had once asked her the same question.

At that time, she just thought it was a joke.

But when Li Mu said this, she was a little scared, afraid that it would come true.

"Xiao Shisan wants to be the man behind the empress?"

At this time, Zhang Hanrui walked in from outside the hall.

Like a little wife, she knelt on the other side of Li Mu, pressing Li Mu's other leg with her slender fingers.

"Sister..." Li Mu really didn't expect that his always arrogant and arrogant aunt would do such a thing in front of so many people.

Zhang Hanrui seemed to understand Li Mu's thoughts, and raised her eyelids slightly to show a resentful look.

"Brother, you are disgusted with your sister. This little girl can serve you, but your sister can't?"

"That's not what I meant, sister. How about you get up first..."

He didn't know why, but seeing his iceberg aunt, who was always strong-willed and always tried to get ahead even when discussing life, acting like this, Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Hanrui didn't listen. She stiffened her neck and pursed her lips tightly, as if she was about to cry.

Li Mu couldn't resist. The beautiful lady from high mountain became his young wife, which was something any man could not resist.

Seeing this, Zhang Hanrui showed a triumphant expression and then asked,

"Brother, do you want Huanping to be the empress? As long as you nod, I will definitely let you be the man behind the empress."

"You can just support her silently from behind, okay? You can support her however you want."

Zhang Hanrui blinked her beautiful eyes and emphasized the word "tight".

Li Mu covered his face and thought to himself, "Give my cold aunt back to me!"

How could he know that Zhang Hanrui came just to please him.

He had deliberately acted before because he wanted to take revenge on Shan Yuan.

But that was when Li Mu was not around.

She was a very smart woman. The moment she saw Li Mu, she realized how stupid it was to do so.

She did not discuss this matter with Li Mu from the beginning. Misunderstandings, once they happen, will still leave a gap even if they are explained clearly afterwards.

She figured it out almost instantly.

If I were to avenge myself on a beast like that and cause my brother to become estranged from me, it would be truly a loss.

Li Mu waved his hand. He really just spoke casually about the matter of the empress.

What he wants now is that Shan Yuan and Zhao Chuxi both suffer losses, and he must not let Zhang Hanrui cause trouble.

He believed that Zhang Hanrui could really do what he said.

The previous summit was clearly a killing game, but Zhang Hanrui managed to save almost everyone Li Mu cared about.

Li Mu didn’t think so much at first, but now he thinks about it.

Li Mu's ability to control the overall situation is great, but Zhang Hanrui's is simply because she has a brain that seems to have got the script.

Even Li Mu still doesn't know what happened outside the conference hall that day.

Zhang Hanrui looked at Li Mu like a little kitten looking at its owner. The love in her eyes no longer had the condescending feeling of the past.

"By the way, have the teachers left the capital?"

"Well, the great scholar and his men left the capital early this morning."

Li Mu nodded. He knew why the teacher didn't come to see him. He probably had the same idea as Yin Huanping.

This matter is between the royal family and the Hundred Clan. Li Mu's identity is very embarrassing, and Mu Zhen obviously doesn't want to embarrass him.

"Watch the group coming from Jeju, and don't do anything else."

Li Mu was not looking at Su Yuwei, but Zhang Hanrui. Compared with the Hakka spies, it was obvious that the forces hidden behind Zhang Hanrui were more adept at doing these things.

Zhang Hanrui nodded obediently, not realizing that Li Mu shouldn't know that she was the Sword Master.

Li Mu stretched lazily. Since Zhao Chuxi had not shown up until now, he would not easily use the power of the royal family.

Therefore, the group of people coming from Jeju was his future plan.

"Little Thirteen, are you really not going to do anything?" Zhang Hanrui was obviously still obsessed with the empress. Compared to other things, this matter made her a little excited.

She would be even more excited if the person who wanted to be emperor was Li Mu.

"Wait a little longer. There's no reason for Zhao Chuxi to be so stupid. He remained indifferent when the Renzong offered him a gift."

Li Mu leaned over, whispered into Zhang Hanrui's ear.

Zhang Hanrui was stunned for a moment. She didn't know as much about the imperial palace formation as Li Mu did, so she didn't know what Li Mu was thinking.

But she still nodded and said, "From now on, I will listen to you, as long as you don't get angry with me anymore."

Li Mu didn't say anything and nodded reluctantly.

At this moment, four or five female guards in red armor ran into the hall.

Li Mu frowned with an unhappy look on his face. When they were discussing matters, they never allowed others to approach.

"Your Highness, Commander Ying, there are people outside the palace who want to capture Commander Ying. Please save her."

Several guards were stopped by Chuntao and they knelt down on the spot, shouting anxiously.
