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

Chapter 342 Liu Mingyan gradually becomes enlightened.

This matter is easier said than done.

Just kill him and be done with it.

But Li Mu is not a professional killer, not to mention that the prince is Zhao Chuyi's biological brother, and Emperor Hongwen and his wife are quite tolerant of Li Mu.

This is the simplest and most direct method, but it is also the most undesirable.

But if Liu Mingyan's method is used, it will obviously require the use of the name of Prince Yan's Mansion, which will bring trouble to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Li Mu felt that since it was an agreement between him and Liu Mingyan, other people should not be involved.

Especially recently, Li Mu has become increasingly displeased with this fake identity.

To put it bluntly, when Liu Mingyan found Li Mu, she valued the King of Yan who stood behind him more.

Li Mu's tapping on the table suddenly stopped.

Liu Mingyan also looked at Li Mu with a feeling of uneasiness in her heart.

"no!"

Li Mu shook his head slightly, with a little apology on his face, and said,

"I will help Miss Liu find a new solution, but Miss Liu's idea is really inappropriate."

"Is that all..."

Liu Mingyan looked at Li Mu's serious expression and felt a little disappointed. She forced a smile on her face and nodded.

"Indeed, I also think this method is inappropriate, but I still want to thank you..."

Just then, there was a bang.

Prince Yan rushed into the room in a hurry, shouting:

"Why not! I think Mingyan's idea is very good!"

"Old man?"

Li Mu was stunned. He knew from King Yan's words that he had been eavesdropping outside.

But Li Mu didn't notice it at all, and thought to himself,

"My hearing has deteriorated?"

"You stinky boy, Mingyan asked you for help, and from what you said, it was you who promised her something before. If you refuse now, are you still a man?"

King Yan patted Li Mu's shoulder with his big hand and scolded him.

Li Mu looked at King Yan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He just felt that the King of Yan at this moment seemed a little different from before, giving him an invisible pressure.

If they were to face off at this moment, it would be hard to tell who would win.

"Is it because I don't have any real energy? That's not right!"

Li Mu clearly remembered that when he first came to Donglai Pass, he was able to suppress King Yan with his first-level physique and speed alone.

"Master, have you made a breakthrough?"

Upon hearing this, the expression on King Yan's face froze for a moment. Obviously, he did not expect that Li Mu could see through his true intentions at a glance.

However, thinking of Li Mu's strength, he did not find it strange. He showed a smug look on his face and waved his hand:

"Don't interrupt, I'm talking to you about something!"

"Since you have promised Miss Mingyan, you must keep your word."

When Li Mu saw the King of Yan's smug look, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and thought to himself,

"The outside family is not that simple after all."

After a slight hesitation, he said:

"Master, I'll figure this out myself."

"What the hell are you thinking of?"

King Yan waved his hand and immediately made the decision.

"I think Mingyan's idea is a good one!"

"But this will bring trouble to Prince Yan's Mansion..."

Li Mu looked at King Yan helplessly, and without any hesitation, he expressed his concerns.

"Trouble?" Unexpectedly, King Yan snorted coldly and said,

"When have I ever been afraid of trouble? This is settled!"

"Besides, it's obvious that the girl is at a disadvantage in this matter. Even Mingyan doesn't mind, so why are you still being so shy?"

"This is what you agreed to, it's none of my business!" Li Mu waved his hand and was about to get himself out.

Upon hearing this, King Yan's face lit up and he said:

"As long as you don't get involved, this will be a done deal."

"Whatever you want..."

Hearing Li Mu's words, King Yan pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Liu Mingyan, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly:

"Mingyan girl, this boy is a bit stubborn, don't mind him. But he is not needed for this matter, I just need you..."

Liu Mingyan took a while to react. Seeing the two men looking like a loving father and a filial son, her eyes were wandering.

She had previously guessed that the King of Yan was going to destroy the bridge after crossing it, but the current state of the two of them...

"Could it be that the prince is keeping a low profile?"

"No! I guessed wrong before!"

She felt that with Li Mu's shrewdness, it was impossible for him not to guess Prince Yan's thoughts, or in other words, with Li Mu's methods, Prince Yan would never think of destroying the bridge after crossing it.

Her mind was in a mess, and Liu Mingyan found that she had no idea whatsoever about anything related to Li Mu.

Seeing Liu Mingyan's thoughtful expression, King Yan thought she disagreed, so he reminded her:

"Mingyan girl, if you have any concerns, this matter may not be easy to handle..."

"No, no! Mingyan didn't mean that. Mingyan admired the prince. She was impressed by him the first time she saw him. Mingyan was obsessed with him, but the prince just ignored her."

Liu Mingyan reacted immediately and said hurriedly.

She naturally understood what King Yan meant, and this was what she had originally planned.

If you don't want to be a crown princess, you can't care about your reputation.

Otherwise, if it were the other way around, it would only create conflicts between Li Mu and the prince.

Liu Mingyan had already made up her mind to devote her whole life to reviving the business community. As for reputation and whether it would affect her future marriage, these were not important.

"Hahahaha! Fine, since Mingyan girl can say that, I assure you that Zhao Chuxi, that idiot, is not worthy of you!"

King Yan laughed loudly, patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said,

"You can't let Mingyan girl suffer like this. I will announce to the public that you two are in love. If anyone is dissatisfied, just come to me!"

"Thank...thank you, Your Majesty!"

After hearing Prince Yan's assurance, Liu Mingyan glanced at Li Mu, who looked as if it had nothing to do with him, and knelt down to salute Prince Yan.

"Well, that's it, you guys chat while I go get ready first, hahahaha..."

As the King of Yan's laughter gradually faded away, Li Mu glanced at Liu Mingyan and said:

"Are you satisfied now, Miss Liu?"

Hearing this, Liu Mingyan's face suddenly froze, as if a heavy hammer had hit her brain. She looked at Li Mu with a complicated look in her eyes, and said in shock,

"So that's how it is. He wanted me to tell King Yan on purpose!"

"Yes, yes. This would offend both the Liu family and the royal family at the same time. Even if he is the crown prince, he cannot make the decision. The King of Yan has to make the final decision on this matter."

"I left in anger before, and she brought me back... so as not to affect everything he had arranged long ago. He knew that the King of Yan would come and eavesdrop."

"But how did he convince King Yan..."

Thinking of this, Liu Mingyan's face turned slightly red, and she felt a little uneasy for no reason.

"So, is his target me..."

"Miss Liu, I have... fulfilled my promise. If there is nothing else, I will leave now."

Seeing that Liu Mingyan was thinking about something on her own, Li Mu prepared to go find King Yan first.

I don’t know what this old man is planning and why he cares so much about this kind of thing.

At this time, Yuanbao came running in from outside, lowered her head, and said in a delicate voice:

"Your Highness, everything is ready."

Seeing this, Li Mu thought for a moment, and then thought that Mu Zhen happened to be there too, so after finding King Yan, he would go directly to Qiuzhou, and then nodded to Yuan Bao and said goodbye:

"Okay then, see you next time, little Yuanbao."

As she spoke, she walked towards the side room. Her eyes caught sight of Yuan Bao's embroidered shoes and she smiled.

"By the way! Put your shoes on."

Hearing this, Yuanbao was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he had been stepping on his embroidered shoes casually since before.

When she thought about what Li Mu had said before, that he would help her put on her shoes, her face started to burn.

In the room, a master and servant both lowered their heads, with expressions changing on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.

At this moment, the sound of a maid leaving was heard at the door of the side room.

Liu Mingyan suddenly came back to her senses, listened to the noise at the door, nudged Yuanbao, who was still in a trance, with her elbow, and signaled with her eyes.

Seeing this, Yuanbao held the door frame, took a sneak peek, and whispered:

"It was His Highness who sent the maid away."

"Maid?" Liu Mingyan blinked, her tone somewhat puzzled.

Yuanbao nodded and said seriously: "Yuanbao is not familiar with this place. To prepare a bath for His Highness, I will naturally find a maid in the mansion."

"That's right!" Liu Mingyan raised her eyebrows, and suddenly realized that every word and every action of Li Mu contained deep meaning.

Li Mu didn't want to take a shower, but to tell King Yan that he was awake.

Only in this way would the King of Yan come to see him and happen to hear the conversation between the two.

Liu Mingyan took a deep breath, then her eyes fell on Yuanbao's embroidered shoes, her eyes flickered slightly, and she hesitated and said:

"Have all the maids left?"

"Yes! They all left!" Yuan Bao nodded confidently and muttered,

"Your Highness, really, if they all leave, who will help Your Highness bathe..."

Hearing this, Liu Mingyan's cheeks turned slightly red. She tugged at Yuanbao's sleeve and called softly, "Yuanbao..."
