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

Chapter 691 Begging for mercy?

Li Mu didn't know whether he acted on impulse or had it planned in advance, after leaving the mansion, he ran to the palace.

He was clearly still struggling with this before. Zhao Chuxi is the crown prince and Chuyi's older brother from the same mother. When he makes plans, he always has to take some means into consideration.

But for some reason, after meeting Xu Youzhi, he came here inexplicably.

"Yes, it's the prince."

At the palace gate, the sharp-eyed guard saw Li Mu from a distance.

After the queen returned to the palace, it seemed as if nothing had happened before.

Apart from still not attending the morning court and leaving all matters, big and small, to be handled by Prime Minister Lu, the capital city has returned to its former tranquility.

It was clear that yesterday there was a roar of killing and corpses everywhere.

Today is peaceful.

"Um... is he still the prince?"

A guard asked in a low voice, and it was obviously as Li Mu expected, the gambling fight between the two had already spread widely.

"Shut up, are these things something you and I can talk about?"

The older guard glared at the outspoken young man beside him, ran to Li Mu and saluted,

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Mu ignored him, walked around the guard and went straight into the palace gate.

The other guards tried to stop him, but Zou Pu, who had been waiting here for a long time, shooed the guards away with his eyes and clasped his fists towards Li Mu.

"Your Highness, the Queen invites you."

Li Mu paused and turned his head to look at him, "Queen?"

"Yes, the Queen knew you would come, so she asked me to stay here."

Zou Pu nodded and bowed, and those who didn't know him would have thought he was a eunuch.

"Tell the queen that I will go to pay my respects later."

Li Mu nodded, still speaking politely.

Zou Pu seemed to have known that Li Mu would say this, and he said without hesitation,

"Actually, it's not the Queen who wants to see you, it's Princess Yunhe who wants to see you, you see..."

"call---"

"lead the way."

Li Mu let out a breath. His encounter with Zhao Chuyi was his first low point since he traveled through time.

At that time, Li Mu was still quite innocent and experienced the dilemma of his ex-girlfriend Su Yuwei committing suicide.

When I was most confused, I met a princess in distress. It was so dramatic just thinking about it.

Sharing hardships together, and getting married secretly.

If you really want to be picky, Zhao Chuyi is the woman that Li Mu has been talking about marrying from the beginning to the end.

Even when he returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, it was for the so-called matching of family backgrounds.

Being surrounded by beautiful women and having a young lady from the Beijing circle waiting for you silently, this should be the highest level of fish raising.

The scumbag also has a conscience, especially for Zhao Chuyi, who was the woman who once made Aquaman want to go ashore.

After all, Zhao Chuyi was Li Mu’s fiancée, whom he had personally acknowledged.

It’s a pity that in just a few months, he had taken down his “fiancée’s” master and best friend. Even Li Mu felt a little guilty and remorseful.

Even Li Mu himself only just realized that the relationship between him, Zhao Chuyi, Yin Huanping, and Lu Jianjia was so complicated.

Li Mu swore that he had also thought about being a good person.

As he was thinking about these bad things, he suddenly heard a voice that made him blush.

"Son!"

Li Mu looked up and realized that he should have arrived at the imperial garden in the harem.

Zou Pu, who was originally leading the way, had long disappeared.

Zhao Chuyi, dressed in gorgeous palace dress, is the most beautiful among all the flowers.

"Did you come here specially to see me, sir?"

Zhao Chuyi threw herself into Li Mu's arms like a young swallow.

She got up early in the morning and dressed up. If she hadn't been stopped by the Queen, she would have gone to Linglong Waterside Pavilion to look for Li Mu by now.

Li Mu went to the border, the southern region, Jiangcheng, and Rannu successively. She hadn't seen Li Mu for several months.

The last time we met, we just glanced at each other briefly and we parted ways before even holding hands for a few seconds.

This is the greatest torture for a girl who has just tasted the forbidden fruit.

Li Mu can be considered a carefree person. If he were in the world before the time travel, his head would probably have turned green by now.

"Chuyi, I'm sorry, I..."

Li Mu sniffed the girl's body fragrance and seemed to be back to that night in the inn.

At that time, Zhao Chuyi obviously really intended to say goodbye to Li Mu, have a crazy night, and never see each other again.

Only she, who loves storytelling, could think of such an approach.

"It doesn't matter. Everything the young master does is a big deal. The ladies who come to the temple to burn incense often talk about the young master's deeds."

Zhao Chuyi tilted her little head, and Li Mu's reflection was reflected in her bright eyes.

Li Mu was apologizing for the Crown Prince. He did not say explicitly that there was something wrong with the Crown Prince, but it was also a fact that he was plotting against Shan Yuan.

But what Zhao Chuyi said was obviously that Li Mu had no time to visit her.

"Chuyi, I want to talk to you about the prince."

Li Mu patted her back gently. According to the current development, he and Zhao Chuxi would have to confront each other sooner or later. It was better to make things clear as soon as possible.

Li Mu did feel guilty. For someone as sentimental as him who wanted to give every good girl a home, sentimentality was a given.

But rationality is the necessary foundation to support this sensibility.

Based on Li Mu's understanding of Zhao Chuxi, the two of them had a grudge against each other a long time ago.

Ever since he took a fancy to Liu Mingyan and promised to help her solve her engagement problems, the feud between them began.

But Li Mu did not regret it at all. Not to mention Liu Mingyan's face, she was able to multiply the Lin family's ancestral property several times in just a few months.

If it happens again, Li Mu will never give this woman to anyone else.

There is no way, I traveled through time and space to the poor prince’s mansion. Who doesn’t love money?

"Sir, can you spare my brother this time?"

At this moment, Zhao Chuyi suddenly spoke, her eyes somewhat evasive.

Obviously, she already knew what Zhao Chuxi had done, but she was not sure how much she knew.

"Spare me?" Li Mu frowned, looked around, and asked in confusion.

"What does the Queen mean?"

"Yes, that's what I meant. He, he is my royal brother after all."

Zhao Chuyi stood on tiptoe and slowly moved her cherry lips closer to Li Mu, wanting to kiss him.

Li Mu raised his hand and placed his fingertips on her forehead.

"Is that really what you mean?"

"Yeah, yeah." Zhao Chuxi was stopped, and the feeling of loss flashed away. He nodded quickly and explained,

"My mother said that she would persuade my father to agree to our request."

"Sir, can you..."

Li Mu frowned slightly. To be honest, he could hook Liu Mingyan's chin and threaten her to obey with the lives of her entire family.

But Zhao Chuyi couldn't do such a thing.

This bowl of water is definitely not fair, but the Queen actually knows everything. She knows that he will come to settle accounts with the Prince, so she has already started with Chuyi.

"I understand." Li Mu lowered his head and pecked the pink lips, then turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuyi hurriedly hugged Li Mu from behind with panic in her eyes, and said anxiously,

"Sir, please stay and accompany Chuyi. Chuyi misses you so much."

"Later, I'll be there later." Li Mu patted Zhao Chuyi's hand with a gentle tone.

However, Zhao Chuyi seemed to have thought of something, and the softness of Li Mu's back rose and fell, and her voice became a little sharper.

"Sir, do you still want to go find your brother?"

"Don't worry, since I promised you..."

"Is it because my brother sent people to kidnap Fourth Miss Liu?" Zhao Chuyi panted heavily and slowly let go of Li Mu's hand.

"But she was originally chosen by my brother as the Crown Princess."

"No matter who you want, Chuyi can obey you. Jianjia, Master, Chuyi can pretend not to know, but this time it is obviously the fault of the young master..."

Zhao Chuyi had tears in her eyes and her tone became weaker.

"Sir, just this once, please."
