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

Chapter 355 A story with extremely high artistic content.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Liu Mingyan couldn't help but be distracted.

When I saw Li Mu talking to Yuanbao before, they were always in a friendly manner, and there was even a hint of doting in their eyes.

But towards her, he always looked at her coldly and was polite on the surface, but his alienation was evident in his words.

"He...he's thanking me?"

Liu Mingyan felt sweet in her heart, and nodded quickly, and said somewhat flattered:

"Your Highness, why should you be so polite? For anything, just...just give the order directly."

Even she herself did not realize that she, who always insisted on getting every bit of profit even if there was no profit, had done so many things for Li Mu, but she was already satisfied just because of a smile and a word from Li Mu.

Hearing Liu Mingyan say this, Li Mu thought she was guilty of spreading rumors, so he didn't bother to be polite with her and said directly:

"Miss Liu has a wide network of contacts, so she is much better at spreading rumors than Prince Yan's Mansion."

Asking someone to do something for you, he greeted them with a smile. Although Li Mu always advocated freeloading, it was not difficult for him to say nice things.

So he first praised Liu Mingyan for a few words, and then got to the point:

"I hope Miss Liu can help me spread some news about Aunt Ru and the old man."

Liu Mingyan subconsciously glanced at Prince Yan and Xiang Dairu. Although she was confused, she still straightened her chest and assured:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I can guarantee that any news will spread throughout the Xing Dynasty within half a month."

Seeing Liu Mingyan like this, Yuan Bao behind him was dumbfounded and thought to himself,

"Young lady, why are you acting like a fool who has been cheated by a man and is counting money for him?"

According to previous logic, Liu Mingyan should be bargaining with the other party at this moment.

Then he thought of helping Li Mu, but pursed his lips, as if he understood Liu Mingyan's actions.

If it were her, she might not be as calm as Liu Mingyan.

"Ah... Yuanbao is really useless. He can't help Your Highness at all."

Thinking of this, Yuanbao's expression gradually became depressed. Thinking of the missed opportunity with Li Mu before, he felt extremely regretful.

When Li Mu heard Liu Mingyan say this, he was secretly shocked. You know, the territory of Xingchao is more than 15 billion mu.

This is just a rough estimate by the predecessors of the Mohist school, and the actual number will be even greater.

With Li Mu's speed, he might not be able to cover every place in half a month, but Liu Mingyan was able to spread the rumor.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Mu reminded:

"I would like Miss Liu to help me spread a story. It doesn't have to be particularly accurate, but the overall core must not deviate, otherwise it will only backfire."

"Story? About... the prince?" Liu Mingyan immediately became interested, and stared at Li Mu with her big eyes blinking.

Xiang Dairu glanced at King Yan with confusion in his eyes.

King Yan naturally didn't know what Li Mu was going to do, but he still squeezed Xiang Dairu's hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Ever since Li Mu carried him out of Guicheng, the last bit of grudge King Yan had towards Li Mu was gone.

Especially as soon as he returned home, he heard that Li Ru had placed Xiang Dairu under house arrest.

After learning the whole story, Prince Yan's favor towards Li Mu reached its peak.

His ability and character are simply beyond reproach.

Xiang Dairu wanted to kill Li Mu, but Li Mu just brushed it off and resolutely handed over the power of the border to Li Ru.

You know, at that time, Wei Pingran and others stood firmly on Li Mu's side.

As long as Li Mu ignored Prince of Yan, he would be the new prince in full authority, and even Emperor Hongwen would not be able to find any fault with him.

Li Mu tried hard to conceive the story in his mind. He did not notice the strangeness of the others. He nodded and began to tell the story with great emotion:

"It was a cold night..."

What Li Mu said was naturally all made up by him, and it had a very high artistic content.

It tells the story of Xiang Dairu and King Yan, from their meeting, knowing each other, to falling in love.

It fully integrates all the sadomasochistic elements that Li Mu has seen. It can be said that it makes people sad when they hear it, makes people cry when they listen to it, makes men silent and women sad, and it is very touching.

Especially the description of Xiang Dairu's devotion to the King of Yan, when people hear it, they feel that if the King of Yan does not give her a title and let her become the King of Yan's Princess, he would be hated by both humans and gods, and he would be the greatest scumbag in history.

At first, King Yan felt strange when he heard it, because that was not what happened between him and Xiang Dairu at all.

But after listening to it later, I gradually got into it.

In particular, although Li Mu's story was fabricated, many parts of it did remind him of their past.

Immediately.

With a cry, the big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a curly beard burst into tears. He stood up and hugged Xiang Dairu, howling:

"It's me! It's me who has failed you!"

As he spoke, he smashed the coffee table beside him and said indignantly:

"Damn it, I don't want to be the King of Yan anymore! With this kid here, I'm not afraid of being criticized. Ru Niang, are you willing to roam the world with me and be a couple..."

"Master, Master, calm down! Calm down!"

Li Mu really didn't expect that this bloody and abusive article could be so destructive. Even Liu Mingyan and Yuan Bao were silently wiping their tears.

Xiang Dairu herself was crying so hard that she couldn't even speak.

He rushed to King Yan and advised:

"Master, this... this is all fake, don't you know?"

"Bullshit!" King Yan pushed Li Mu away and said in a serious tone.

"From today on, you are the King of Yan in the north! I believe you will do better than me!"

"Oh my gosh! He inherits the title and the princess at the same time?"

"Old man, old man!"

Li Mu shook the King of Yan violently, signaling him to calm down first, and glanced at Xiang Dairu, who was crying beside him, and gently advised,

"Old man, Aunt Ru has been with you for so many years, and she is finally able to enjoy wealth and glory. Now you want to take her to venture into the world, do you think it's appropriate?"

"No...no...as long as I can be with Li Lang, I don't care about anything else."

Xiang Dairu raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, and looked at King Yan with tenderness and a firm tone.

Li Mu suspected that she might have drunk the forget-me-not milk and still had no memory of having two sons.

However, King Yan listened to what he said.

After all, he was a battle-hardened official. After his emotions subsided, he instantly came to his senses and looked at Li Mu with excitement.

He stretched out his big hand and pulled Li Mu over. He patted Li Mu on the back and said with a smile:

"Good boy, good boy!"

Liu Mingyan's mind worked quickly, and after reading the story she understood Li Mu's intentions.

She knew that it might be difficult for the people of Xing Dynasty to accept the Ran Nu people, but with this story, it would be easy to accept a Ran Nu princess from Yan.

"But she is the eldest son's biological mother..."

However, he began to worry about Li Mu.

But when she saw the grateful eyes of Prince Yan and Xiang Dairu, Liu Mingyan's heart suddenly jumped.

"That's right. Rather than coerce, it's better to show kindness. Your Highness really had a plan in mind. It's ridiculous that I..."

Liu Mingyan laughed at herself in her heart, thinking that her skills were nothing in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu's move was to gain control of people's hearts.

More importantly, if the Prince of Yan wants to appoint a new concubine, he must first depose the previous concubine.

As everyone knows, the current Princess of Yan is from the royal family of the previous dynasty.

In the eyes of the people in the capital, this was like a thorn in their hearts. Their hands were all stained with the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Ordinary people may not know, but those who are interested will definitely be able to find out that this matter was fanned by someone.

If people knew that it was Li Mu who planned it...

"What exactly do you want to do, Your Highness? Do you want to make friends with the powerful families?"

Liu Mingyan couldn't figure out Li Mu's real purpose for a moment, but this move could indeed serve as a stepping stone to make friends with officials and dignitaries.

But at the same time, such means will make people more fearful.

Especially the one sitting on the dragon throne.

"Your Highness..."

There was obsession in Liu Mingyan's eyes, and she became more and more curious about what Li Mu was thinking.

But she didn't know what it meant for a woman to be curious about a man.
