Chapter 895: Regent again?
Just as the sword was about to cut Zhang Hanrui's neck.
Jun Jiuling's expression suddenly changed. He turned around anxiously and grabbed her wrist.
"Oh no, the dog man is waking up!"
"Quick, take him to find that girl, quick!"
She didn't expect that Li Mu's soul had changed a lot under Meng Siyu's nourishment.
As a result, the time of awakening this time was more than half shorter than the last time.
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes gradually became dull and then slowly closed.
Zhang Hanrui was stunned for a moment, and a barely noticeable blood mark was left on her fair and slender neck.
She almost instinctively put away the jade sword, picked up Li Mu and headed towards the mansion.
The moment she heard that Li Mu was in danger, she seemed to have forgotten all her hatred.
There was only one thought in my mind: Xiao Shisan, I hope nothing happens to you.
"Sister, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Just then, she felt a heat in her ears.
Li Mu rested his face on her shoulder and slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were deep, and the pupils in them had completely turned into the shape of an ink lotus.
Zhang Hanrui's body suddenly paused, and the next moment, she felt a damp heat coming from her earlobe.
Her body felt like it was electrocuted, and her voice even stuttered.
"Li, Li Mu?"
"Are you angry, sister? Why are you calling me by my full name?" Li Mu used his arms to slightly exert force, hugged Zhang Hanrui into his arms, teased her earlobe, and chuckled.
"I haven't seen you for a month. Did you miss me?"
"You, let me go!" Zhang Hanrui reacted, pushed Li Mu away, and looked at him with an ambiguous look.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, his arms hanging in the air, with a pitiful look, shrugged and said,
"What are you doing, sister?"
Zhang Hanrui's chest rose and fell slightly, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
The man in front of me is the culprit who killed Sister Mei.
Zhang Hanrui! How could you hang yourself? You should avenge Mei'er and her child!
Zhang Hanrui! Zhang Hanrui!
...
Zhang Hanrui's eyes changed from confusion to determination, and finally to gentleness.
She took a step forward and threw herself into Li Mu's arms.
"You don't remember anything?"
"…I was wrong. I won't mention this matter again, okay?"
Li Mu straightened Zhang Hanrui's body and said lightly.
He remembers! Then what is he doing now... Zhang Hanrui pursed her lips slightly, revealing a resentful expression, and sobbed,
"You almost killed Ling'er, you, you made me..."
"Okay, okay, I won't do that again."
Li Mu gently stroked Zhang Hanrui's back, slowly lowered his head, and pretended to kiss her.
Zhang Hanrui raised her hand and placed it on Li Mu's chest. She lowered her eyes slightly, made a shy expression, and said with concern,
"Then, what about your inner demon tribulation?"
"How are you, dog man?"
At the same time, Jun Jiuling's voice sounded in Li Mu's mind.
Li Mu frowned and was about to reply when Zhang Hanrui put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips.
"I'm fine." Li Mu replied perfunctorily.
However, he didn't have time to respond to the sudden kiss.
Zhang Hanrui suddenly pushed him away, buried her head in his arms shyly, and said in a whisper,
"Well, then, if we do this, will Sister Jiuer see us?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and blocked Jun Jiuling's perception of the outside world. He held Zhang Hanrui's pretty face and kissed her.
Zhang Hanrui struggled hard, but when she felt the resistance, Li Mu's actions became more and more violent.
"Don't worry, she can't see it!"
There was already some anger in Li Mu's voice. He pressed the back of Zhang Hanrui's head hard and reached into her collar with his other hand.
"Little Thirteen!" Zhang Hanrui panted and pushed Li Mu weakly.
“This, this is still outside.”
Li Mu had no intention of having sex on someone else's roof, so he took advantage and let Zhang Hanrui go. He asked curiously,
"Have you seen Jiuer?"
Zhang Hanrui quickly tidied up her messed up clothes, then nodded and said,
"Well... Sister Jiuer told me about the inner demon tribulation."
Li Mu waved his hand and said casually,
"It's all right now. It won't be long before I can completely refine this calamity power."
"Then..." Zhang Hanrui wanted to ask again, but saw Li Mu's eyes fixed, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"court death!"
The next moment, two figures jumped onto the roof.
Li Mu did not take the lead in meeting the enemy, but instead covered Zhang Hanrui's face with a black veil.
Then he raised his foot and kicked one of the figures off the roof.
"Qingyi?"
Mu Zhenwan never expected that the person on the roof would be Li Mu.
He maneuvered the wheelchair, came to Li Mu, frowned and said,
"you……"
"Teacher, I'm fine." Li Mu shrugged and calmly put Zhang Hanrui behind him.
"master!"
At this moment, a shrill cry was heard in the yard.
Mrs. Lu shook Lu Chongyun who was lying on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
"Cough cough... poof!" Lu Chongyun coughed twice, then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he murmured,
"Why are you howling? I'm not dead yet!"
This kid was really ruthless! He silently felt that at least three ribs were broken and his internal organs were also damaged.
Zhang Hanrui keenly sensed that something was wrong.
He touched the black veil on his face and looked up at Li Mu.
She had just recognized that the people were Mu Zhen and Lu Chongyun, so how could she not recognize Li Mu?
Moreover, even if he didn't recognize him, why was it that only Lu Chongyun was beaten, but Mu Zhen was fine?
There's something wrong with Xiao Shisan!
"I'm glad you're alright." Mu Zhen nodded, glanced at Lu Chongyun below him, and said,
"Why are you here?"
"Are you here to see Prime Minister Lu as well?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this was actually the backyard of the Lu family, and said vaguely,
"That's it."
"It just so happens that I was planning to go look for you." Mu Zhen nodded, apparently without thinking too much, and waved his hand.
"Go down first. It's not proper to be on this roof."
...
Lu Mansion, study.
"Your Majesty, are you here to see me? Is it because of the Crown Prince?"
With the help of Mrs. Lu, Lu Chongyun sat down at the desk and went straight to the point.
"Yeah." Li Mu held Zhang Hanrui's tender little hand, kneaded her fingers, and answered absent-mindedly.
Lu Chongyun frowned, but did not get angry at Li Mu's attitude. He continued to ask,
"Does the prince know anything?"
"Yeah." Li Mu nodded, but there was no further news.
"Ahem." Seeing Li Mu's attitude, Mu Zhen thought that he didn't trust Lu Chongyun, so he cleared his throat and said,
"Qingyi, Master and Prime Minister Lu are here today to discuss revealing the Crown Prince's identity during tomorrow's court meeting. If you know anything, just tell me directly. Don't worry."
Li Mu didn't respond at all. He turned his head to look in the direction of the door, frowned and asked,
"Has the tea not been served yet?"
He had originally planned to have a cup of tea and leave.
I don't know why, but I feel particularly thirsty.
Lu Chongyun took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed to Li Mu.
"Although your actions today were reckless, they were loyal, righteous and brave. I, an old minister, would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Xing Dynasty."
"Zhao Chuxi is of royal blood from the previous dynasty. I believe the prince also knows about this, which is why he is blocking the East City Gate today."
His meaning was very clear: I know all these things, you don't have to hide them.
Li Mu was stunned. Zhao Chuxi was a remnant of the previous dynasty? How come I didn't know!
But before he could ask, Zhang Hanrui, who was already blushing, said first,
"Minister Lu, why don't you just speak frankly? How can my prince open up to you if you keep hiding things like this?"
Hearing this, Lu Chongyun looked at Zhang Hanrui in confusion. At this moment, he felt a chill enveloping his whole body.
He quickly retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice,
"Okay, in that case, I will tell the prince the truth."
"Your Majesty and the two princes are now missing, and Princess Yunhe died suddenly in the palace the night before."
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. We old ministers are also clear about the origin of the royal family."
"So, I discussed with Brother Zhu Ting and decided to appoint a king of a different surname as regent, abolish the Demon Queen, and take back Donglai Pass."
