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

Chapter 320 Liu Mingyan’s speculation about Ran Nu’s purpose.

Hearing this, Liu Mingyan's face turned slightly pale, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then turned into realization, she smiled bitterly and said:

"Your Highness is indeed not an ordinary person."

Looking at Li Mu's eyes, he was confused and took a deep breath and said:

"If Your Highness thinks this news is not worth it, then just treat it as me chatting with Your Highness. But if Your Highness thinks it is worth it, then it won't be too late for Your Highness to consider my request."

"Then tell me!"

Li Mu was secretly complaining in his heart, but there was no change on his face. He nodded slightly.

"What the Ran slaves want is the Xingwei armor."

Liu Mingyan said word by word.

"How did you find out?"

Li Mu frowned and asked.

"Guessed!" After saying that, Liu Mingyan turned her head to the side and no longer looked at Li Mu.

"Guess..." Li Mu was about to speak, but stopped talking and turned to himself.

"possible!"

"But Rannu's masters have basically been wiped out. Even if your guess is true..."

As soon as Li Mu opened his mouth, Liu Mingyan tilted her head to look at Li Mu, her eyelashes fluttering as if she was a little curious, and said:

"Your Highness, aren't you quite smart? Why can't you figure this out?"

"If Ran Nu had intended to attack Xing Weijia from the beginning, perhaps there was another group of people who had sneaked into our Xing Dynasty a long time ago, waiting to cooperate with Ran Nu's army from inside and outside."

"First, the army laid siege without attacking, then kidnapped the King of Yan and imprisoned him in Guicheng..."

After hearing Liu Mingyan's words, Li Mu also began to think along her lines.

"No, they have already taken action!"

Suddenly, Li Mu's expression froze, and he thought of what Zatu had said before, that they had to evacuate before noon tomorrow.

However, the reinforcements will not arrive for at least three days, and even if they arrive, the most important task of Donglai Pass is to defend it. If Ran Nu is only stationed outside the pass, the defenders may not necessarily attack immediately.

"What they fear is not the arrival of reinforcements, but the news of the baggage being robbed getting out!"

Li Mu cried out in surprise and looked fiercely at Liu Mingyan, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

She may not know as much as Li Mu does about the inside story.

If she could really guess the purpose of the Ran Nu people just by meeting a few of them on the road, then this woman would be too scary.

"Your Highness is saying..."

After hearing Li Mu's words, Liu Mingyan hesitated for a moment, her expression changed, and she asked with a frown.

However, when he looked up again, he saw that Li Mu had already leaped away, and only his voice was still ringing in his ears:

"This news is worth it! Miss Liu, please quickly pass this news to Prince Yan's Mansion and tell them that Ran Nuren will withdraw his troops before noon tomorrow."

"Your Highness? Your Highness! Li Mu!"

Seeing Li Mu leave like this, Liu Mingyan stamped her feet vigorously, thinking of what Li Mu said before he left, and a seductive arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"He agreed?"

Liu Mingyan glanced at the direction Li Mu left. Although she was puzzled, she did not think much about it. She quickly ran back to the carriage and said to the soldier driving the carriage:

"this…"

Unexpectedly, before she finished her words, the sergeant who was driving the carriage raised the reins and said:

"Ladies, please sit tight!"

Obviously he also heard what Li Mu said before he left.

In the carriage, Yuanbao's face was still a little pale, and his round face had become like a little cat after crying.

"Little Miss, what did you say to His Royal Highness?"

Yuanbao's eyes were a little evasive and he asked timidly.

Liu Mingyan looked at Yuanbao unhappily, and then frowned.

Suddenly it occurred to me that Li Mu's affection for Yuan Bao seemed to have started when she wanted Li Mu to help Yuan Bao.

Before that, Li Mu didn't even look at Yuan Bao.

She clenched her jade hand into a fist and slammed it hard on the soft couch beneath her seat, saying angrily:

"This bastard! He fooled me!"

"Little, miss?"

Hearing Yuanbao's voice, Liu Mingyan returned to normal, looked at Yuanbao with a sidelong glance, smiled, and said teasingly:

"You are crying very sadly. Are you reluctant to leave me or your prince?"

Hearing this, Yuan Bao's pale face flushed, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. His soft voice was a little childish, and his tone was very firm:

"His Royal Highness may just be in a whim. Yuan-Yuan Bao will always stay by Miss' side and serve her."

Liu Mingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, held Yuan Bao's hand and said:

"Yuanbao is the best. You and I are like sisters. You and I will marry together in the future. I have made up my mind and will return to the capital tomorrow. I have to give an explanation to my father."

Hearing this, Yuan Bao's expression froze, and he stammered, "

"Miss, why are you suddenly..."

Liu Mingyan glanced at Yuanbao out of the corner of her eye, sighed pretentiously, and said in a leisurely tone:

"Forget it. Your strength has not recovered yet. We will keep you here for a while in Donglai. It won't be too late to go back after your strength recovers."

"Really!" Hearing this, Yuan Bao cried out in surprise, and then, as if realizing that even if he stayed a little longer, he would have to go back sooner or later, his face turned sad again, he gritted his teeth, and said,

"Young lady, have you really made up your mind? Do you want to be the Crown Princess?"

"Why, didn't you keep persuading me before?"

Liu Mingyan's lips curled up slightly, and her green jade fingers hooked on Yuanbao's chubby chin, and she said lightly,

"What does Yuanbao want to say?"

Yuan Bao's body trembled slightly, and he quickly got up and knelt in front of Liu Mingyan, saying tremblingly:

"Yuanbao doesn't want to say anything. Yuanbao shouldn't interfere in the young lady's marriage. Yuanbao, Yuanbao..."

Seeing this, Liu Mingyan hurriedly helped Yuanbao lie down again and said unhappily:

"Didn't I tell you not to kneel down so easily? In public we are master and servant, but in private, we are sisters."

"Daddy said that Miss is the hope of the merchants, and Yuanbao must always obey Miss's orders."

Yuanbao's tone was firm, but his eyes seemed to have lost a lot of their luster.

"Alright! I'm just kidding. I won't be a crown princess. Even if I do become one, I won't drag you down with me!"

Liu Mingyan patted Yuan Bao on the shoulder, her tone was very depressed, and then she seemed to think of something, her eyes curved, and she spoke,

"When the time comes, I will sell you to the Prince of Yan for 50%! A full 50%! You are more valuable than the Prince of Yan!"

Hearing this, Yuan Bao's cheeks flushed, and he said shyly:

"Yuanbao is, is the young lady's maid, the young lady can do whatever she wants with her..."

However, when she saw Liu Mingyan's increasingly dangerous look, she quickly changed her words:

"Yuan Bao will never leave Miss even if you kill him!"

"Really? I remember that someone's hand was around the prince's neck and he was unwilling to let go."

"No, no!" The blush on Yuan Bao's face instantly spread from his neck to his ears, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who said that Yuanbao was too heavy, and that would save energy. Yuanbao thought what His Royal Highness said made sense..."

"Li Mu!" Liu Mingyan muttered with gritted teeth, as if the cabbages she had raised for years were eaten by other pigs.

At this moment, the speeding carriage suddenly stopped, and then the voice of the driver was heard from outside the carriage:

"Ladies, we have arrived at the palace!"

Liu Mingyan glanced at Yuan Bao and asked in a low voice: "Can we go?"

Yuanbao nodded. She was not seriously injured, but her internal energy was over-consumed. After the previous breathing adjustments, she could not only walk but also jump.

Just as he was about to stand up, he heard Li Ru's voice coming from outside the carriage, and there seemed to be some complaints in his tone:

"Qingyi, it's so late now. You should take Miss Liu to the prepared yard to rest. What are you doing here? Where are the others? Qingyi!"

Hearing this voice, Liu Mingyan immediately jumped off the carriage. Just as she was about to speak, a hearty laugh came from the mansion:

"The fourth girl came to Donglaiguan without informing us in advance. I still remember that the last time I went to Liu Mansion, you were still held in the arms of the nanny."

Liu Mingyan was stunned when she saw Prince Yan walking out of the mansion in a carefree manner, her eyes full of disbelief.

I felt like my brain was freezing. Could it be that all the information she had given me before was fake?

Then he was even more confused. If the King of Yan had not been captured from the beginning to the end, then what was Li Mu doing? Could it be that Li Mu was unaware of the situation and the King of Yan had escaped by himself?

For a moment, my mind was racing, but the next moment it became a mess.
