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

Chapter 791: The distraught Zhao Chuyi.

Li Mu ignored the resentful looks of the women and took Shanshan to the side hall without saying a word.

Among them, Zhang Hanrui's eyes were the saddest, like a resentful woman who was cheated of her money and body by a scumbag.

For the first time, her little man had a little secret in front of her.

In the side hall.

Li Mu pricked up his ears to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he looked at Shan Shan.

"What happened?"

"Master, let's run."

Shanshan grabbed Li Mu's sleeve, her tone very urgent.

"what?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, looking at Shanshan with confusion in his eyes.

"The Queen is hosting a banquet and is planning to invite you, Master, to attend."

Shanshan grabbed Li Mu's sleeve.

"I will talk to Master in detail on the way. Let's leave the capital first."

"Wait a moment!"

Li Mu grabbed Shanshan and asked in surprise,

"Someone is setting me up?"

"No, it's not."

Shanshan was startled, knowing that Li Mu had misunderstood her, and hurriedly said,

"The Queen has also invited Master and Mu Li, and Master has already agreed."

"Master, I'm afraid you don't know yet. The person delivering the invitation will be here soon. We should leave first, otherwise we won't be able to leave."

Li Mu felt a bit amused and confused. Seeing the little girl's face flushed with anxiety, he stretched out his hand to scratch her chin and said in a gentle tone,

"Silly girl, just for this?"

"Master?"

Shanshan lowered her head slightly, but was still a little confused.

She rushed here as soon as she got the news and guessed that Li Mu must not know about this yet.

The invitations from the palace were sent out at the same time, and Li Mu had no time to cross-examine Mu Zhen.

She was actually preparing for a rainy day, so why did Master Young Master still call her a silly girl?

Shanshan blinked her big eyes, but when she saw Li Mu's calm expression, her anxiety disappeared a lot.

"When will the banquet begin?"

Li Mu didn't explain and pulled Shanshan to sit on the tea couch.

Shanshan naturally began to pour tea for Li Mu, and said while reminiscing,

"Should, it should be three days later. I, I didn't pay attention."

"That should be enough time."

Li Mu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at the girl in front of him.

"Have you told Chuyi?"

"Ah."

Shanshan responded softly, a hint of shame flashed across her eyes, and she pursed her lips and said,

"Sir, the princess agreed to let me leave the palace temporarily."

Only then did Li Mu notice the waning moon on the girl's back and the small bag hanging on her shoulders.

"Are you going to elope with me?"

Li Mu teased and stuffed the teacup into Shanshan's hand.

"No, no."

When she heard the word "elopement", the blush on Shanshan's face instantly spread from her neck to her ears. She held the teacup and drank up the tea in it.

She really wanted to go out with Li Mu to "venture out in the world."

Even if it's just for a day or two.

Besides, this time, there were only two of them.

Before leaving the palace, she had even sent someone to contact the novelist. This time, she wanted to be the heroine in the story.

However, judging from Li Mu's expression, he had no intention of leaving the capital with her.

The plan is about to run out before it even starts.

"Master, if you don't leave the capital in public, then what if you get caught?"

Shanshan was unwilling to give up and continued to test the waters.

The most crucial thing is that Li Mu did not go to the appointment in the capital, which was obviously a slap in the face of the Queen.

For warriors of their strength, claiming to be sick is definitely impossible.

"Don't worry, Mu Li and I will go to the appointment together in three days."

Shanshan was stunned for a moment, her mouth opened into a European shape. Her little brain was completely unable to process such information.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Dongmei's voice came from outside the hall.

"Sir, Sir...someone has come from the palace. The master asks you to go to the front hall."

Li Mu raised his hand and the door to the side hall opened automatically.

Dongmei was standing with her head down, about ten feet away from the door.

"No need, accept the invitation and tell the person that I will be there on time."

After saying that, he ignored it, looked at Shanshan with a smirk, raised his eyebrows and said,

"Master will take you to a place where children cannot go at night."

……

main hall.

When Zhao Chuyi heard Dongmei's words, her eyes suddenly turned dim.

Li Mu didn't want to see her.

She sent the palace maid to deliver the invitation and went there in person.

But Li Mu didn't even want to see her.

Is it because she acted on her own and borrowed Li Mu's power at the enthronement ceremony?

Or she reached an agreement with the witch clan in private and asked them to submit their letters of allegiance.

Or maybe it was because I lied to him about getting engaged.

Zhao Chuyi's mind was in a mess.

She finally persuaded the queen to stop thinking about finding a husband for her.

She wanted to tell Li Mu the good news as soon as possible, but... why didn't Li Mu want to see her?

"First grade of junior high school?"

Yin Huanping frowned slightly when she saw Zhao Chuyi's pale face, and looked at Dongmei.

"What is that brat doing? Why isn't he coming?"

Dongmei shrank her neck and replied cautiously,

"Master, the young master is taking Miss Shanshan to the inner house to go boating on the lake."

"Yes, or Dongmei can go again..."

"no need."

Zhao Chuyi spoke out to stop him, showing a forced smile and said to Yin Huanping,

"Master, there are still some things to do in the palace. I will come to see you next time on the first day of the first lunar month."

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for Yin Huanping to answer.

"The first day of the new year..."

Yin Huanping looked at Zhao Chuyi's lonely back and felt heartbroken.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Hanrui, who was watching the show, suddenly laughed and said,

"The little man has a good temper."

"What do you mean?"

Yin Huanping was already in a bad mood, and she became even angrier when she heard Zhang Hanrui's expression of enjoying the show.

"It's nothing. Seeing your little disciple sad makes me feel much better."

"Do you know anything? What happened to that brat?"

Yin Huanping frowned and stared at the face in front of her that made all women jealous.

Zhang Hanrui glanced at her sideways and said disdainfully,

"You can't fail to see that your disciple will become an empress in the future."

"so what?"

"Heh, have you ever seen an emperor marry?"

Zhang Hanrui stood up, stretched, and said leisurely,

"The little man has done well. I have to think about how to reward him. Let's go and see my Ling'er."

Zhang Hanrui finally felt proud of herself.

Seeing that Li Ling'er had no appetite and was in a daze from time to time these days, she had been very worried.

But the woman in front of me always looks as if it has nothing to do with me and makes sarcastic remarks from time to time.

Now, you are reaping the consequences.

Zhang Hanrui twisted her slender waist and deliberately swayed in front of Yin Huanping. She was about to leave, but then she seemed to have thought of something and turned her head to remind him,

"By the way, I think things a few days ago were a little strange."

"The queen seems to be suppressing your little apprentice."

Yin Huanping raised her eyes, her gaze somewhat dangerous.

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhang Hanrui shrugged and said indifferently,

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

"By the way, I think you haven't told him yet about your support for your little apprentice."

"Don't say I didn't warn you. Little men are crueler than you think. Don't come crying to me when you're not favored."

Yin Huanping ignored her and slowly digested the problem that she had been ignoring for so long.

Zhao Chuyi is going to inherit the throne, so what is Li Mu?

Queen?

Or a mistress?

Then he thought of Zhang Hanrui's last words, raised his head suddenly and asked,

"What do you mean by suppression?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hanrui was no longer in the hall.
