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

Chapter 693: Those peach blossom eyes, even the dog is affectionate.

"Understood, back off."

Zhao Chuyi glanced at the sky and realized that it was almost time.

She was a little panicked, afraid that Li Mu would disappear the moment the trap was released.

Suddenly I couldn’t remember why I was so impulsive before.

Was it because she was jealous of her master and Jianjia, or because she had lied to Li Mu from the very beginning?

She was going to be the crown prince, so she couldn't marry him.

That's why he said those words, and that's why he triggered the formation when he saw Li Mu was about to leave.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go."

Zhao Chuxi felt dizzy, and at this moment, a familiar and gentle voice came to his ears.

Then Li Mu appeared in front of Shanshan, holding her hand.

Zhao Chuyi's body trembled, and her eyes fell on the golden cage that was in perfect condition and had no abnormalities at all.

"Son..."

She wanted to ask a question, but quickly closed her mouth. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she quickly activated the jade talisman to disperse the cage.

Shanshan was suddenly held by Li Mu's hand. She had even forgotten her last name and naturally did not notice anything unusual.

"How about I go back?"

Li Mu raised his hand and waved it in front of Zhao Chuyi's eyes, his tone still gentle.

"No, it's not."

Zhao Chuyi looked flustered, and raised her hand to pull Li Mu, but she stopped halfway and looked at Shanshan with a frown.

"Shanshan, go back to the palace!"

Shanshan came back to her senses, looked at Zhao Chuyi with some resentment, pursed her lips, and said reluctantly,

"understood."

Then he blinked his big eyes and looked at Li Mu, and said shyly,

"Master, Shanshan will go to your house later to pay her respects to you... Can, can I?"

Li Mu smiled and nodded, not showing any displeasure from beginning to end.

However, Zhao Chuyi felt even more uncomfortable seeing this.

On the way, Zhao Chuyi wanted to speak several times but hesitated.

She asked everyone to leave and wanted to be alone with Li Mu, but when they were really alone, the atmosphere was not what she wanted.

"What do you want to ask?" At this time, Li Mu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Why, why?" Zhao Chuyi wanted to ask, since the trap couldn't trap Li Mu, why did he still stay inside.

Li Mu slowed down his pace, tilted his head to look at her, his tone sincere but a little doubtful,

"Didn't I promise you? Besides, there's food and drink, and you'll be there for me."

Zhao Chuyi's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out,

"Then, why do you want to leave, young master? If you don't leave, I won't..."

"I'm a little angry. I want to ask the queen why she lied to my family on Chuyi."

Li Mu did not hide anything. He felt that there was nothing that could not be said openly to Zhao Chuyi.

"Sir... My mother did not lie to me."

Zhao Chuyi clenched her pink fists hidden in her sleeves and lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Mu.

"That's good. I'm not being used as a gun."

Li Mu waved his hands, as if relieved.

"Young Master has guessed it."

"Well, that's not hard to guess."

Then, the two fell silent again.

Zhao Chuyi knew that she couldn't hide the secret from Li Mu for long, but she didn't expect to be exposed so quickly.

He reached out and tugged at Li Mu's sleeve, not knowing how to start the conversation.

Li Mu held her hand with his backhand, his smile still gentle.

Feeling the warmth in her palm, Zhao Chuyi suddenly mustered up the courage and asked,

"Sir, if, if you can only have Chuyi by your side..."

"The first day of the new year." Li Mu interrupted her and put away the smile on his face.

"You can beg me."

"Wha, what?"

"Just like before, if you open your mouth, I will still stand in front of you."

Zhao Chuyi recalled the scene when she first met Li Mu. At that time, Li Mu obviously didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

"Sir, have you ever regretted saving Chuyi?"

For some unknown reason, Zhao Chuyi asked the question that had been stuck in her throat.

There was a flash of disappointment in Li Mu's eyes. He did not directly answer Zhao Chuyi's question, and Zhao Chuyi also changed the subject.

In fact, she should have understood long ago that the girl in front of her was no longer the freshman girl who followed behind her.

"You are so beautiful, how could you regret it?"

Li Mu hid his emotions and smiled in a cheesy way.

"Sir, if Shanshan said the same thing to you that night, would you accept it?"

Zhao Chuyi held Li Mu's hand tightly, observing Li Mu's every expression.

"Yes." Li Mu frowned, but did not hesitate too much.

"Sure enough." Zhao Chuyi smiled, but the smile was a little bitter.

"Everyone says that you are a romantic man, but in fact, you can't refuse someone who treats you well."

"Don't be so sentimental. I'm just horny."

Li Mu shrugged and smiled indifferently.

Zhao Chuyi did not expose her. If he was really just lustful, he would not have treated Shanshan better than her.

Li Mu was the first person who treated Shanshan so gently.

He would ruffle Shanshan's hair lovingly.

When others looked at Shanshan with strange eyes, he would pull her to his side and walk with her to support her.

He was so comfortable and relaxed when chatting with Shanshan that Zhao Chuyi was a little envious.

"Sir, can you let Shanshan accompany you on behalf of Chuyi from now on?"

Zhao Chuyi pulled Li Mu to stand still, her tone more serious than ever before.

Li Mu was silent, his brows furrowed and then relaxed, and then he smiled with relief.

"Didn't you say I wouldn't refuse?"

When their eyes met, they were talking about Shanshan but their eyes were saying goodbye.

……

On the other side, in a corridor somewhere.

Shanshan frowned and looked at the man standing in front of her, her tone was a little unfriendly.

"Sun Hongyu, are you sick?"

"Shanshan, do you like Li Mu?"

"It's none of your business." Shanshan glanced at Sun Hongyu and said in Li Mu's tone.

"He will no longer be the Prince of Yan soon, you..."

"What does Master Young Master's situation have to do with you? Get out of here now. Be careful of my ruthless sword."

Shanshan was a little impatient, and her good mood was completely destroyed by the man in front of her.

"Shanshan, you should understand my intentions. Moreover, if you have entered the stage of Huajin, and my grandfather guides you in the future..."

"You want to marry me?" Shanshan raised her eyelids, crossed her arms and spoke in a contemptuous tone.

"Why, you want me to be your concubine?"

"As long as you are willing, I can marry you as my principal wife, and I promise to marry only you and never be like that Li Mu..."

"So, you don't want the women and children in your family anymore?"

Shanshan blinked her big eyes, which made Sun Hongyu swallow his saliva repeatedly, and then nodded.

"I can divorce her, but as for the child, I will never let him have any child of ours."

"Bah! You are such a bastard. I used to think you were a good person."

Shanshan's face changed instantly. Sun Hongyu's words really made her sick.

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Sun Hongyu stepped aside to stop him again, his tone somewhat angry.

"You like Li Mu, but does he like you? Do you know how many women there are in Linglong Waterside?"

"Sun Hongyu!" Shanshan narrowed her eyes, drew out her heavy sword and pointed it at Sun Hongyu.

"How do you know that Master Gongzi doesn't like me? Shanshan has become prettier. The way Master Gongzi looks at Shanshan is... different."

She felt a little guilty when she said this. Indeed, apart from the surprise at the beginning, the way Li Mu looked at her had not changed at all. It was the same as it was in the past.

"That's because you've changed now!" Sun Hongyu seemed to have grasped the point and said hurriedly,

"Besides, Li Mu's peach blossom eyes can make him look affectionate even when he looks at a dog... Shanshan, don't let him fool you!"

"Who are you calling a dog?"
