Chapter 560 Qin family, Qin Chou.
On the corridor.
Song Chun deliberately sent everyone away, then quickly stood in front of Li Mu.
Li Mu paused and looked at Song Chun.
"Second Prince, is there anything else?"
Hearing Li Mu's ridicule, Song Chun's face suddenly changed and he said angrily,
"Li Mu! You pretended to be my father and attempted to become emperor. Even if you have made great achievements, you are not afraid that His Majesty will be suspicious of you. You cannot bear the suspicion of the king."
"Pfft." Li Mu laughed, looked at Song Chun with interest, and asked curiously,
"Change of military advisor?"
Hearing this, Song Chun's expression froze, and he showed an expression of disbelief on his face. Then he reacted and said stubbornly,
"I do not understand what you're saying!"
"Now, I am the only one who can protect you. Only I and a few of my trusted men know about the impersonation. I have already dealt with the people."
"As for this robe, I have ordered someone to prepare an almost identical one. After all, it could be a dragon robe or a flowery robe. Who can tell the difference between a dragon and a python?"
Song Chun said this with a hint of arrogance on his face.
"All the credit belongs to you. Please help me solve it, but there is one thing you have to promise me."
"What about you calling dad?" Li Mu said deliberately.
Hearing this, Song Chun's expression suddenly froze, and his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a hundred dead flies.
"Your Highness is extremely intelligent. Why does he need to pretend to be ignorant when he knows the truth?"
At this time, a beautiful lady in palace dress came out from the garden nearby, knelt down and saluted Li Mu,
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Mu took a look at the beautiful woman, who seemed to be around thirty years old. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was still a top-notch beauty.
"You, what are you doing out here!" Song Chun frowned slightly and spoke when he saw the beautiful woman coming out.
The beautiful woman ignored him and stared at Li Mu with some curiosity.
"From the look on your face, Your Highness, you knew that I was hiding somewhere."
Li Mu did not answer, but just looked at her and asked,
"Are you his mother?"
"Li Mu! This is my wife! The legitimate daughter of the Qin family in Jeju!" Song Chun could no longer sit still and shouted hurriedly.
Qin Chou quietly tugged at Song Chun's sleeve, signaling him not to say anything more.
Song Chun really shut up, obviously listening to his wife.
Qin Chou looked at Li Mu, as if waiting for Li Mu's reply.
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then asked,
"Do you want me to tell King Jiang that I was the one who called Song Chun to Jiangcheng?"
Qin Chou bowed again, obviously more solemnly than before, and said in a respectful tone,
"This is a piece of cake for the prince. Moreover, it can save him a lot of trouble. I can't think of any reason for him to refuse."
"Oh, that's all?" Li Mu looked at Qin Chou and said indifferently.
"Cang Zhi did this just to use this as an excuse to hold me back later, but I agreed to it right then and there. Do you think I care?"
Hearing this, Qin Chou's face changed. She really thought that it was that barbarian woman who had tricked Li Mu into committing the crime.
But I never thought that Li Mu took the initiative to join the game.
If Li Mu had known this from the beginning, she really couldn't understand why Li Mu would want to get involved in this mess.
Even if it is for convenience, Li Mu's identity as the Prince of Yan is enough.
There was absolutely no need to do something that would arouse the emperor's suspicion. This behavior was inconsistent with the Li Mu that Qin Chou saw.
In her eyes, Li Mu was shrewd beyond his age and would never do such a stupid thing.
"You seem very curious and think that I shouldn't fall into this kind of situation."
Li Mu looked at the beautiful woman in palace dress in front of him with interest and said in a light tone.
"I really don't understand."
Qin Chou frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with Li Mu's look.
"Because it's interesting." Li Mu said.
"Interesting?" Qin Chou became more and more confused, and felt that Li Mu's words were somewhat intriguing.
The conspiracy of the Rongyi people, to put it mildly, was aimed at King Jiang, and to put it more broadly, was an attempt to steal the country.
In today's peaceful and prosperous times, Li Mu's contribution is enormous.
If Li Mu had not already been the crown prince, it would not be an exaggeration to directly confer the title of earl or even marquis upon him.
"Yes, it's interesting. I thought it was interesting, so I agreed. What does it have to do with me if others suspect me?"
Li Mu shrugged and said calmly,
"Alright, I don't want to get involved in your affairs, and I don't have the time. I still have to go see King Jiang. Madam, please make way."
After saying that, Li Mu stepped sideways past Qin Chou and strode towards King Jiang's bedroom.
He walked away quickly, not wanting to get entangled with this woman any longer.
Beautiful women have privileges in themselves, and that is why Li Mu is willing to stop and talk to her.
However, Li Mu's current condition did not allow him to continue flirting.
It’s not that they don’t want to participate, but rather that they are running away.
The woman seemed to be asking, but her words were threatening.
The beautiful woman and the threat aroused Li Mu's desire and anger at the same time. If he stayed any longer, Li Mu didn't know if he would lose his mind.
Seeing that Li Mu didn't give her any face at all, Qin Chou flashed and stood in front of Li Mu. However, just as she was about to speak, she crashed into the arms of a man.
The huge impact made her lose her balance and she fell backwards with her head raised.
Li Mu really didn't expect that this woman would be so persistent. Seeing that she was about to fall, he subconsciously reached out and supported her lower back.
A melodramatic scene like in a TV drama is played out here.
The clothes on Qin Chou's chest were torn, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
"Gudong!"
Li Mu swallowed unconsciously, his eyes almost blazing with fire.
Qin Chou then realized that she was lying in another man's arms in front of her husband.
She pushed with both hands, and hurriedly distanced herself from Li Mu. She glared at Li Mu fiercely with her beautiful eyes, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"What will it take for Your Highness to agree?"
Li Mu frowned slightly. He was very annoyed by this woman's pestering. The anger in his heart overwhelmed his lust. He grabbed Qin Chou's neck and said coldly,
"I told you, I'm not interested in your business."
Then he threw Qin Chou aside.
Qin Chou fell to the ground. She had always lived a life of luxury and had never suffered such humiliation. But it concerned Song Chun. If Li Mu did not help him, then not only Li Mu would be suspected, but Song Chun as well.
Given King Jiang's temper, he would definitely abandon this son.
Thinking of this, Qin Chou gritted his teeth and shouted at Li Mu's back,
"Your Highness is so angry because you didn't get anything out of the interrogation in the dungeon just now."
Hearing this, Li Mu paused and turned to look at Qin Chou.
"Qin family? Jeju!"
Hearing Li Mu's words, Qin Chou's eyes flashed with astonishment. What Li Mu meant was not that he had not obtained any useful information.
But now, she could only bite the bullet and say,
"Since Your Highness already knows, you should understand my value. I wonder if this bargaining chip is worth it for Your Highness to agree to my request."
She said this on purpose. The smarter Li Mu was, the more he would speculate about this sentence.
At this time, Xu Doudou, holding Cangzhi, hurried over here.
Li Mu looked at Qin Chou deeply, then nodded and said,
"Okay, it depends on whether you are worthy of this. I will come to you later. If you cannot satisfy me, have you thought about the consequences?"
"Thank you, Your Highness. My life and property are all in your hands. I will definitely satisfy you!"
Qin Chou nodded and said through gritted teeth that she always felt that what Li Mu said sounded strange, but Li Mu agreed with great difficulty, so she could only agree.
After Li Mu and Xu Doudou walked away, Song Chun ran to Qin Chou and helped her up with a wry smile on his face.
"Waste! If it weren't for you!" Qin Chou pushed him away and cursed.
Song Chun was obviously a little afraid of Qin Chou, and did not dare to get angry. He just asked cautiously,
"Will his words be useful? I'm afraid my father won't believe it, right?"
"What do you know? As long as he asks to protect you, given the friendship between the prince and the King of Yan, he will definitely give you this face!"
Qin Chou had a tone of disappointment, and his eyes were fixed on the direction where Li Mu left, muttering softly,
"Besides, he's obviously coming for the Qi family, so why not give him a hand?"
