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

Chapter 352: The misunderstanding was resolved and Li Mu learned of King Yan’s plan.

Hearing this, Mu Zhen was slightly stunned. Obviously, he did not follow Li Mu's train of thought. After a while, he replied:

"Of course there is only one statue. According to ancient records, it is a sculpture of a founding emperor."

"Ah!"

Mo Wuyan put his hand on Li Mu's shoulder, obviously thinking that his previous persuasion was more serious than Mu Zhen's intention, and said jokingly,

"Miss the capital? It just so happens that I am going back to Mo City. You can think about the conventional manipulation method on the way."

Li Mu ignored Mo Wuyan, his heart gradually sank.

"No, there is another one under the dry well where the saint lives!"

"Teacher, did you know there is another one similar to this one on the third floor?"

Hearing Li Mu's words, Mu Zhen frowned slightly, then nodded:

"If that's what you said, Confucianism does have such a record. Moreover, when I woke up from the third floor, I vaguely saw a statue, but it has been so long that I can't remember it clearly..."

"What are you doing again?"

Li Mu thought about it and decided not to mention the matter of entering the rank again, so he said:

"Teacher, you seem to have never asked me what is on the third floor."

"All the fortunes in the building belong to you. I don't want to know."

Mu Zhen shook his head, then his tone became slightly heavier and he said seriously,

"Don't mention this to anyone, lest you disrespect the ancestors!"

"..."

Li Mu didn't expect Mu Zhen to react like this, but thinking that it was probably a Confucian rule, he nodded and said:

"Students take note."

"Okay, let's stop here for today. After Mo Laogui leaves, I will tell you about this Hunyuan Realm."

Mu Zhen's tone was flat. It was obvious that matters concerning the third floor were still a taboo topic for Confucianists.

"Who cares!" Mo Wuyan snorted coldly, looked at Li Mu, and confirmed again,

"Boy, if you really don't want to go on the journey with me, Sanniang will always miss you."

Li Mu clasped his fists and politely declined Mo Wuyan's proposal.

It feels like things are simple, yet extremely complicated.

I was hesitating whether I should go to the Sage's Residence again to see if I could find something from Qiu He's statue.

Although Mu Zhen had interpreted those rumors to him before, it was obvious that even if Li Mu met the requirements, it would not be so easy for him to enter the realm of the elite.

In order to avoid being confused every time I make a breakthrough like before.

Li Mu decided that this time he must prepare the breakthrough materials in advance.

However, this decryption method gave Li Mu a headache.

Li Mu even had the urge to rush to Qingfeng Temple right now, grab the former master by the collar, and roar,

"You say it, you say it, you say that time travelers do not deceive time travelers!"

Of course, that’s what Li Mu thought.

In essence, Li Mu is a person who would never seek death easily.

In the end times, the Virgin Mary must be killed first. Horror movies never explore in separate ways.

At this time, the voice of King Yan came to my ears:

"Mu'er, I have something to tell you."

"I'm going to... I have something to tell you too!"

Hearing the voice, Li Mu finally reacted and realized the important matter at hand.

Thinking of the rumors I heard on the street before, I seemed to see Zhao Chuyi crying and saying goodbye to me.

Li Mu was shocked. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the King of Yan had gone to the main hall at some point.

Beside him are Xiang Dairu and the young patriarch of Rannu?

"Go ahead. I'll send Old Ghost Mo off."

"Teacher, wait a moment, I have something else...I want to tell you..."

Unexpectedly, before Li Mu finished speaking, Mu Zhen smiled and asked:

"Are you trying to say that you are not actually the second son of Prince Yan's Mansion?"

"Oh my god! News spreads fast!"

Li Mu thought to himself that it was bad, but with a little guilt on his face, he nodded and said:

"Teacher, I didn't mean to hide it..."

"Okay, Master knows everything."

Mu Zhen had a smile on his face.

Of course, he had discussed this matter face to face with the King of Yan a long time ago.

Otherwise, with his temper, how could he be willing to appear on the same screen with Prince Yan.

Long before Li Mu was taken away by Yuanbao to rest, Mu Zhen had already found King Yan.

His initial thought was exactly the same as Liu Mingyan's, that is, he thought that the King of Yan was going to destroy the bridge after crossing it.

He was tough in his attitude and wanted to confront King Yan immediately.

The King of Yan was helpless and had to reveal his entire plan.

Only then did they learn that the Prince of Yan was planning to turn the fake father into the biological father.

He felt guilty about this for a long time, and that was why he and Mo Wuyan were here to accompany King Yan and help him consolidate his newly improved realm.

"Teacher, I don't have any questions..."

"What is there to ask? You are my disciple anyway."

Mu Zhen waved his hand, and then seemed to have thought of something, and lowered his voice to remind,

"This rumor in the city must have been released by the King of Yan's order."

???

Li Mu blinked his innocent big eyes, his mind went blank.

"What do you mean, is this the end of the crown prince's reign?"

"He is going to destroy the bridge after crossing it!"

Mu Zhen saw Li Mu's reaction and nodded slightly, looking somewhat relieved, thinking that it was normal to have such thoughts.

Then, Li Mu asked:

"Teacher, do we have imperial examinations in Xing Dynasty?"

“…What is the imperial examination?”

"No imperial examination?"

"Then, where do the officials in the court come from?" Li Mu asked again.

"Of course, they are recommended by each family. Qingyi, what do you want to do?"

Mu Zhen looked puzzled, obviously unable to guess Li Mu's intention.

How could he have imagined that what Li Mu was thinking about now was a top scholar paired with a princess, which is how it is played in TV dramas.

"Teacher, can Confucianism recommend me to be an official?"

"Ok?"

At this time, the King of Yan, who was somewhat impatient, strode towards Li Mu, shouting as he walked:

"You little brat, I'm calling you! You are the prince of my Prince Yan's Palace, what position do you hold?"

Li Mu tilted his head and glanced at the King of Yan, obviously unwilling to pay attention to him, muttering,

"I won't argue with you for breaking your promise. I can't figure out a solution on my own."

Li Mu was also helpless. After all, he had abducted the nominal princess.

Li Mu did more than just stand up and ride on a bike that others had never ridden before!

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Li Mu didn't say much.

Besides, if it weren't for Zhao Chuyi, he would have quit when he had a showdown with King Yan.

Mu Zhen looked at Li Mu strangely. He felt that Li Mu's reaction was not what he had imagined.

He shook his head slightly and said:

"I will not get involved in this matter."

After saying that, he was pushed away by Mo Wuyan.

Li Mu also knew some of Mu Zhen's past in the capital. He thought to himself that he shouldn't have mentioned his service as an official in front of his teacher. He turned to look at King Yan and sighed:

"What does the old man have to say?"

Seeing Li Mu's expression, King Yan looked a little embarrassed and asked tentatively:

"Did the great scholar tell you?"

"I said it." Li Mu nodded, looked at King Yan with some complexity, and said helplessly,

"And now the news is all over the city, but I didn't expect that it was a trick played by the old man."

"Who am I doing this for? Uh... this is good for you too."

The King of Yan wanted to say righteously that this is all for your own good.

But when he thought that the main purpose was to tie up Li Mu and Prince Yan's Mansion, he found it hard to say this.

"I have heard from Han Rui that you don't want to be that beast's substitute forever. This is my way of clearing your name."

???

"What did your aunt say?"

Li Mu actually said this, but he remembered that he said it to Li Ling'er.

At that time, I was also afraid that Li Ling'er would turn against me later, so I took out an insurance policy in advance.

"Now that you mention it, you really are thinking about me."

Thinking of this, Li Mu could no longer complain to King Yan.

After all, this was indeed what he had agreed with Li Ling'er before, and in this matter, it was King Yan who fulfilled his promise.

"What does the old man want to tell me?" Li Mu asked.

"I didn't expect that discussing countermeasures with you would cause such a big commotion."

There was some embarrassment on King Yan's face, and his voice became a little lower.

"Countermeasures?"

Immediately, their eyes met...

Fortunately, neither of them likes to pretend to be profound.

After a moment, the matter was brought to light.

Only then did Li Mu know what the King of Yan was spreading to the outside world.

Of course, King Yan was not stupid. He knew that Li Mu had feelings for Zhao Chuyi, so he did not tell anyone about his plan to ruin the marriage and let Li Mu marry Li Ling'er.

Anyway, in the eyes of King Yan, his daughter is the best in the world, so Li Mu made a profit this time.

"So, what is the situation now..."

After finding out the whole story, Li Mu felt relieved. The King of Yan was indeed fulfilling an earlier promise and had no intention of demolishing his bridges after crossing them.

"It was actually fine at first, but I later revealed a little bit about Li Ru and Xiao Wu's life experience. Who knows..."

"What?"

Before the King of Yan could finish his words, Li Mu almost jumped up.

My goodness, this Ran Nuren had just captured the city, and it turned out that the eldest son of the Prince of Yan’s Mansion, the fourth son, had a biological mother who was actually Ran Nuren.

Li Mu didn't know whether the King of Yan had revealed Xiang Dairu's specific identity, otherwise, the public outrage would be...

Li Mu looked at King Yan with sympathy, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it. He was about to say, "How about I go and get my aunt over here?"

But in the distance, the guards in the mansion reported:

"Your Majesty, the fourth young lady of the Liu family wants to see you!"

"No! I won't see anyone!"

"…Your Majesty, Miss Liu said that it was the prince who said that he wanted her to come by herself, so she came."

"What a mess, my king..."

"Old man, please ask her to come in." Li Mu interrupted before King Yan could finish.
