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

Chapter 687 Master! Young Master?

royal palace.

"Mother, when did you come back?"

Zhao Chuxi looked grim and knelt in front of the queen.

The queen looked at her son in front of her with a complicated look, sighed slightly, and did not intend to beat around the bush.

"New Year's Eve, that's enough, let's stop here."

"What do you mean by end here?"

Zhao Chuxi obviously didn't expect the Queen to put it bluntly. She raised her head in disbelief and said in a serious tone,

"Is this what the Queen Mother meant, or what the Emperor meant?"

"You shouldn't have set your sights on my second brother. This is your father's bottom line."

The Queen did not address him as Prince of Yan, but as she did in the past, she addressed him as Second Brother.

"Is it because of Uncle Prince Yan, or Li Mu?"

Zhao Chuxi was a little dissatisfied, and his eyes were bloodshot when he looked at the queen.

"The Bai family suffered heavy losses this time. Almost all the people in the main hall were disabled, and the sword... I sent it to the underground palace. This matter ends here. When your father returns, he will personally reconcile with the Bai family."

The queen made the final decision and directly defined the matter.

"Where is my minister?"

Zhao Chuxi's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

"I have to give an explanation to the Bai family for this matter. On New Year's Eve, I will be a leisurely prince from now on, and live a prosperous life. Don't let my mother worry anymore..."

"impossible!"

Zhao Chuxi stood up suddenly, looked at the queen in front of him with resentment, and said word by word,

"Why, I am father's own flesh and blood, why!"

"Lunar New Year's eve……"

The queen sighed deeply, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

"When you imprisoned Elder Sun and your father, did you really think of saving his life?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Chuxi was struck by lightning, and his whole body couldn't stop shaking, but he still said stubbornly,

"It's not me. I was kidnapped by Zou Xing and the Rongyi people..."

"Lunar New Year's eve!"

The queen shouted in rebuke, and the pressure from the Heavenly Realm warrior filled the entire palace.

"You plotted against King Jiang, planned to murder King Yan, and even your father didn't intend to let you go. Why did you become like this on New Year's Eve?"

"Hahahahaha."

Suddenly, Zhao Chuxi let out a miserable laugh.

It turns out they know all these things.

"Lunar New Year's eve……"

"My son, take your orders!"

Zhao Chuxi interrupted the queen, knelt on his knees, kowtowed heavily, and walked out of the hall without looking back.

He had always thought that this incident was Emperor Hongwen's tacit approval of him, and he had concealed it perfectly, but he never imagined that he was just being used as a pawn.

The queen sat on the phoenix couch, looking at Zhao Chuxi's back, her eyes gradually becoming deep.

She knew very well that Zhao Chuxi's current situation was inseparable from the connivance and even guidance of Emperor Hongwen.

"Master, the young master has gone to the underground palace. Do you want to send someone to follow him?"

At this time, a dark shadow appeared in the hall.

Only the pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak were revealed under the black veil.

"No need. Have you arranged the contact person?"

Qi Annan knelt on one knee with a very respectful attitude.

"Master, rest assured. The prince has already set out from Guicheng and arrived in the capital half a month ago. This time he will come to pick you up personally, so there will definitely not be any mistakes."

The queen nodded slightly and pointed her finger at the phoenix couch.

"I want to send you to Qingyi on New Year's Eve?"

"Yes, the young master wants to alienate the relationship between Young Master Qingyi and Prince Yan's Mansion, but I don't know the young master's specific plan yet."

Qi An Nan told the whole story in detail without hiding anything.

"You don't have to worry about Fang Ji anymore. I will find a reason to send you to Qing Yi."

"New Year's Eve has the appearance of an emperor, but your majesty is old and dim and can't see clearly."

……

Exquisite waterside pavilion.

"Does the agreement we made that day still count?"

Shanyuan stood with his sword, looking a little embarrassed.

Li Mu tilted his head and looked at him carefully. Now he knew that Shan Yuan was indeed trapped in the palace's formation and even suffered a little.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the queen rushed back to the palace from Tianzong and released all the people from the hundreds of families in the hall.

Li Mu scratched his head. He really couldn't understand this development.

Zhao Chuxi set up such a big business, but in the end his own mother interfered?

This is too careless.

Last time, they knew that Emperor Hongwen was imprisoned, but this time they just tricked the Queen out of the palace, and didn't even block the news.

Why does this guy's IQ fluctuate?

What have you missed during these past two days of living in drunkenness and dreams?

"Are you planning to break your promise?"

Seeing that Li Mu remained silent, Shan Yuan frowned slightly and slowly raised the sword in his hand.

"Don't be impulsive. From today on, I will leave the Prince of Yan's Mansion and will no longer be the Prince of Yan. Are you satisfied now?"

Li Mu waved his hand indifferently, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Shanyuan's body stiffened for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

He knew very well that Li Mu would never go against his will, and these things were only done for the King of Yan and others to see.

"Humph, from today on, I will get back everything you owe me bit by bit."

Shanyuan sneered and walked into the mansion.

"Master Shanyuan, what are you doing?"

Li Mu raised one arm to block his way.

"What does it have to do with you? Just leave as soon as possible!"

Shan Yuan's tone was unfriendly. He really wanted to meet Li Ling'er and Zhang Hanrui and let them know that he was far better than the person in front of them.

At the beginning, his plan was to make Li Mu the crown prince of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

In this way, when he gets this body, everything will fall into place.

But on the day when Prince Yan cleared Li Mu's name, he had already given up this idea.

He wanted to return to Prince Yan's Mansion under his own identity. With Li Mu's physique and Rong Yi's ability to change his appearance, he could avoid being discovered by anyone.

What's more, everything Li Mu has now originally belonged to him.

Li Mu saw Shan Yuan's fan-shaped look which was three parts disgust, three parts jealousy, two parts covetousness, and two parts greed.

I felt my chrysanthemums become cold and I quickly took two steps back.

Shanyuan showed contempt on his face and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Li Mu frowned and said in a bad tone,

"Master Shanyuan from the Prince of Yan's Mansion, I don't care what disputes you have with the Prince's Mansion, but this is... the Princess's Mansion, are you sure you want to force your way in?"

Shan Yuan felt that his brain was a little confused and looked at Li Mu in confusion.

Li Mu pointed to the plaque above his head.

"Daxing Dynasty, His Majesty Linglong, Linglong Waterside Pavilion, isn't it obvious?"

"This is the place that Emperor Hongwen gave Ling'er to live in temporarily. When will..."

As Shanyuan was speaking, he saw Li Mu take out the house deed.

In theory, the title deeds and land deeds of this kind of mansion bestowed by His Majesty are all in the palace. If he falls out of favor one day, the mansion will be taken back.

But Zhao Chuyi felt sorry for her master, so she had already taken out the house deed, hoping that Yin Huanping could live here permanently.

Not only that, as a time traveler, Li Mu knows that he can only feel at ease when the wealth is in his own hands.

The reason why Liu Mingyan worked so hard some time ago was that she was transferring the assets left by the Lin family.

After listening to Li Mu's words, Liu Mingyan used the background of Jing'an Liu's family to increase the wealth of the Lin family several times in one go.

He was kind enough to leave the capital to Prince Yan's Mansion, and the profits naturally went into Li Mu's pocket.

Princess Yin Huanping's identity means she is the spokesperson for Li Mu's purse.

Shan Yuan's face looked a little ugly. He glanced at the house deed and gritted his teeth and said,

"Then let Ling'er and Auntie come out. I'll take them back to Yanshan."

"Brother, don't you have something to say to him? What's the point of this?"

At this time, Li Linger ran out of the house quickly, looking at Shanyuan with complicated eyes.
