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

Chapter 471 "Prince, my brother has been kidnapped by thieves!"

After leaving the palace, Li Mu went straight back to Linglong Waterside Pavilion.

Because of Ge Peining's instructions, the beautiful girls who usually surrounded him didn't dare to come near him.

Li Mu sat alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the inner house.

He looked at the lotus leaves in the lake with a dazed look and a slightly dull expression.

During this period, Xiao Zhao came, Su Yuwei came, and even Ying Yu came running over.

But they were all blocked by Yin Huanping one by one.

Li Mu sat there motionless all night.

until the next morning.

The sun shines on the face.

"Haven't you thought it through yet?" Jun Jiuling's clear voice sounded in Li Mu's ears.

"I had forgotten that you and I are in tune with each other." Li Mu showed a bitter look on his face and asked,

"If it were you, what would you do?"

"How would I know? I don't even know what you're worried about!"

"Didn't you say that we have a mutual understanding?" Li Mu was stunned when he heard Jun Jiuling's words.

Then I heard Jun Jiuling say awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. I only knew it because you wanted me to know it."

"That's good..." Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. It would be too embarrassing if his mind was really read all the time.

Li Mu sat for a while, and then heard Jun Jiuling say with some dissatisfaction,

"You really don't need my help? I don't know what you're struggling with, but I can sense that you're feeling very depressed."

Hearing this, Li Mu was indeed tempted, but he still held back.

The reason I asked just now was because I thought Jun Jiuling knew everything.

Now it would be difficult for Li Mu to speak again.

Originally, Li Mu planned to take advantage of the Rongyi people's conspiracy to trick the original owner and Shan Yang into the capital.

But when he saw the dead and injured civilians in the North City yesterday, Li Mu began to waver.

He believed that he was capable of resolving the matter from the beginning.

However, because of his 'selfish desires' and fear of the original owner, he chose the seemingly safest approach.

This made Li Mu fall into deep self-blame.

When Li Mu arrived yesterday, there were no less than three thousand civilians killed or injured on the main street of North City.

If we really have to wait for the Rongyi people to send troops to go to war with the Xing Dynasty, I don’t know how many people will die.

Li Mu told himself that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

But on the other hand, he was afraid that everything about the original owner was just his own conjecture.

Maybe the original owner just wanted to stay in the mountains and continue practicing Taoism.

Li Mu never had any heroic sentiments. He was already satisfied as long as he could protect himself and the people around him.

But this does not include indirectly killing others.

"Huh!" Li Mu let out a long breath.

At this time, Jun Jiuling's voice sounded again in my ears.

"Forget it if you don't want to talk about it! How about we go out for a walk? There's no big formation here. You don't want to sit here all the time, do you?"

"Take a walk? Where do you want to go?" Li Mu nodded and asked hesitantly.

He really wanted to go out and get some fresh air.

Hearing this, Jun Jiuling's voice became obviously excited.

"Really? Can we go anywhere?"

"Well, besides going to see the statue of the Sixth Emperor." Li Mu nodded and said deliberately.

“Why…know, I know…” Jun Jiuling’s voice suddenly became lost, as if he had lost interest in going out.

"Forget it, I want to go and see it too. Come to think of it, I seem to have never been there." Li Mu stood up and decided not to tease the old girl anymore.

I thought to myself that I had a really bad temper and I said those words subconsciously.

At this time, Yin Huanping, who had been waiting in the distance, walked towards this side quickly.

"Are you okay? Do you want to go call Ning'er back?"

Yin Huanping frowned, her face full of worry.

Li Mu shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "I'm fine, so don't bother Sister Ning'er running around. She should be in charge of the overall situation in the medical family now."

"then you……"

"I'm going out for a walk." Li Mu held Yin Huanping's hand, signaling her not to worry.

After refusing to be accompanied by anyone, he left the house alone.

However, as soon as he left the house, he saw a dense crowd of people outside the gate.

"It's His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness has come out!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"I bow down to thank His Royal Highness for his great kindness!"

When everyone saw Li Mu, they all looked excited.

Before Li Mu could react to what was happening, he saw more than a hundred people kneeling down and shouting,

"Kneel down to thank His Royal Highness for his great kindness!"

Li Mu subconsciously took two steps back, then his eyes swept to Liu Mingzhe who was at the front of the crowd.

He walked up to him, grabbed him by the collar, and quickly returned to the mansion.

Behind the gate of the mansion.

Li Mu frowned and stared at Liu Mingzhe, then gestured to the door and said,

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Your Highness, you misunderstood. This has nothing to do with me. I just happened to encounter it." Liu Mingzhe wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"Coincidence? Brother Liu came to see me?" Li Mu looked Liu Mingzhe up and down and asked.

Liu Mingzhe nodded, then raised his hand and pointed behind him.

"I came here with my sister to thank you for saving my life, my sister..."

"Eh?"

"No need, Brother Liu, please go back." Li Mu frowned slightly. He felt it was a bit harsh to hear this life-saving grace.

"Li Mu! Li Mu!" At this time, the sound of a young girl sobbing was heard outside the mansion.

Li Mu recognized the voice; it was that of Liu Minglan.

"Sir, my sister..."

When Liu Mingzhe heard that his sister seemed to be crying, his face suddenly changed. He was about to go out to check, but when he remembered that Liu Minglan was calling Li Mu's name, he stopped and looked at Li Mu for help.

"You wait."

As he finished speaking, Li Mu's figure swayed slightly.

Liu Minglan was carried on Li Mu's shoulders and brought into the mansion.

"Prince Li~" Liu Minglan was about to shout again, but found that Li Mu suddenly appeared in front of her.

Tears suddenly flowed out, "Li Mu! My brother is gone, my brother is gone in an instant!"

He immediately threw himself into Li Mu's arms, his shoulders still twitching.

"Li Mu, please help me, my brother has been kidnapped by thieves."

Hearing this, Li Mu's face suddenly turned dark.

He patted Liu Minglan's shoulder gently and motioned her to look back.

Liu Mingzhe's face was also full of black lines. Seeing Li Mu looking at him, he quickly coughed twice and said awkwardly,

"Minglan, I wasn't robbed... I'm fine!"

"Ah? Prince, I seemed to hear my brother's voice..." Liu Minglan slowly raised her head and looked at Li Mu with confusion in her eyes.

Her big eyes were red, filled with tears, and the tears scratched the rouge on her face, making her look like a little cat.

She normally wouldn't put on so much rouge, but thinking that she would come to Linglong Waterside with her brother to express her gratitude today, she started dressing up before dawn.

The muscles on Liu Mingzhe's face twitched, and he said with a look of despair.

"You heard me right! I'm behind you."

"Ah?" Liu Minglan blinked her big eyes, and then seemed to realize something. Her originally pale face turned visibly red.

He quickly turned around to look at Liu Mingzhe, then turned back.

She cried out again, buried her head in Li Mu's chest, and wailed.

"My Lord, my brother is gone...what should I do? What should I do? This is so embarrassing..."
