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

Chapter 376: The crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Everyone, the princess has asked me to tell you that the prince is not in Yanshan City now. Even if you send your visiting cards now, you will not be able to see him. Please go back."

"Huh? Looking for me?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment. He just thought that he couldn't say it for a while, and he could use this matter to tease Li Ling'er.

In the blink of an eye, the melon was eaten by himself.

When everyone heard the guard's words, they were obviously unhappy and said:

"I have already bought a house in the outer city, and will live in Yanshan City from a certain date. This invitation contains my new work. If the prince sees it, he will definitely be willing to meet me."

"I brought some gifts from my hometown to the prince. Please pass them on to the general."

"I have a little sister in my family. She is 28 years old and very pretty. This, this is her portrait..."

"My brother died early, and my sister-in-law has been a widow for many years..."

"You guys are fucking bastards!"

Li Mu listened to these increasingly unreliable words, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and he was about to leave.

But the guard at the door shouted, "Shut up!"

Then he quickly pushed through the crowd and walked quickly to Li Mu, looking him up and down countless times from head to toe.

Immediately he let out a cry and ran back to the door, shouting as he ran:

"Asshole, open the front door, open the front door! Open the door quickly, the prince is coming back..."

Li Mu's figure flashed, and he grabbed the guard by the back of his neck, entered the mansion through a small door at the side, and cursed:

"What are you yelling about? If someone hears you, all your sister and sister-in-law's property will be sent to your house!"

Li Mu naturally knew this guard, he was the old soldier who had been to Lingyin Pavilion with him.

"Ah! The prince is back! The prince is back!"

In the courtyard, several maids who saw Li Mu's appearance clearly screamed, as if they had stopped their idol whom they had been fans of for many years at the airport and lost the ability to speak for a moment.

He only kept repeating, "The prince is back."

Russian qing.

Li Mu sat in the main hall.

However, the person who walked out of the back hall made him stunned, and he said in surprise:

"Sister Ning'er?"

He could no longer suppress his emotions, and with a flash of his figure, he immediately held Ge Peining in his arms.

"Sister Ning'er, why are you here? I was just about to go to the capital to find you."

Li Mu's tone was excited, and he was so happy that he couldn't express it in words.

Ge Peining was a little shy when being hugged by Li Mu like this, after all, Li Ling'er and Zhang Hanrui were right next to them.

However, as if being affected by Li Mu's mood, his hands gradually went back to Li Mu's waist, and he called softly:

"Husband..."

Li Ling'er and Zhang Hanrui behind them looked at each other, each with their own thoughts in their minds.

Li Ling'er was obviously even more jealous. When she heard that Li Mu had returned, she hurried over. However, Li Mu didn't even look at her. It was a pity that she missed him every day, but her heart was wasted.

Zhang Hanrui was not so surprised. As early as in Qiuzhou, she had seen that the young widow of the medical family had ill intentions towards Li Mu.

However, Li Mu treated her differently when they met, which made her somewhat unhappy.

Although, even if Li Mu wanted to come up and hug her, in front of Li Ling'er, she would most likely slap Li Mu in the face.

But women don't need a reason to be unhappy.

"Xiao Shisan just returned home, he must be tired, why don't you go back to your courtyard with niece Ning'er and rest up before talking."

Zhang Hanrui coughed lightly twice, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she was stunned.

I didn't expect such a sour remark to come out of her mouth.

Although she and Li Mu often flirted with each other in private, but now in front of Ge Peining, an outsider, she should maintain her ice beauty persona.

"Qing Yi, Qing Yi..."

Ge Peining blushed at these words and patted Li Mu's back hard, signaling Li Mu to let go.

It was difficult for her to call him husband again.

But titles like "Crown Prince" and "Your Highness" seem too unfamiliar.

Li Mu was unable to control his emotions before, but now that he has come to his senses, he will not add fuel to the fire in this Shura field.

He quickly let go of Ge Peining and respectfully saluted Zhang Hanrui and said:

"Auntie."

"elder brother!"

Although Li Ling'er was jealous, she was not stupid enough to show it, so she called out in a hoarse voice.

Hearing Li Ling'er's incantation to summon him again, Li Mu frowned slightly.

"Sister Ling'er."

Then his eyes fell on the door in the far corner, and he said lightly:

"Miss Xu, are you feeling better?"

Hearing this, Xu Youzhi's face suddenly changed behind the door. After struggling for a while, she pushed the door open and walked out. She knelt down and saluted towards Li Mu and said:

"I am grateful for your concern, Your Highness. How are you these days?"

Upon hearing that Li Mu was returning home, Li Ling'er went to find Xu Youzhi immediately, intending to invite her to come with him.

But Xu Youzhi claimed to be sick and insisted that she was not feeling well and was unwilling to come.

Li Ling'er then went back to wash and dress herself, but she didn't expect that Xu Youzhi had already hidden here.

Li Mu discovered that Xu Youzhi's attitude towards him seemed to become cold again. He glanced at Zhang Hanrui covertly, but saw a smile in Zhang Hanrui's eyes, as if she wanted to see Li Mu's show.

Confused, Li Mu didn't intend to respond. He just had a hint of sadness in his eyes and nodded to Xu Youzhi.

"Okay, as long as the girl is fine."

"Brother, is father in good health? You won't leave now that you are back. I will order someone to prepare a banquet. Oh, yes, there is a new courtesan at Lingyin Pavilion. I will have someone bring her to your house right away."

Li Ling'er said a long string of words. Although she mentioned Prince Yan, anyone could tell that she wanted to keep Li Mu in the mansion more.

Li Mu looked at this suddenly considerate little girl, and in his heart he really wanted to live the life of a prince who bullies women that he had always dreamed of.

He raised his hand and rubbed Li Linger's hair, saying:

"Don't bother, I'm leaving today."

Hearing this, the faces of the girls all changed. Ge Peining quickly took out an embroidered handkerchief from her bosom and said:

"Qingyi, you cannot go to the capital for the time being. Now the officials are impeaching you and want to convict you."

As she spoke, she handed the embroidered handkerchief to Li Mu.

"This is the letter from the princess. They are now under house arrest in Linglong Waterside. I was originally going to Donglai Pass to find you and send a letter to you on the way. I didn't expect something went wrong... Fortunately, I didn't miss you."

"House arrest!"

Hearing Ge Peining's words, Li Mu frowned, and without even reading the letter in his hand, he pulled Ge Peining out.

"Let's go to the capital first, and we'll talk about the details on the way."

Seeing this, Zhang Hanrui dodged and stood in front of Li Mu, tapped him on the forehead with her backhand, and said lightly:

"I told you not to go, don't you understand?"

"You must be joking. Most of my fish are in the capital! No matter what, I will bring them back first."

Li Mu took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Hanrui.

"Read the letter first, then listen to what Junior Niece Ning'er has to say about the situation. Don't always think about using brute force."

Zhang Hanrui rolled her charming eyes at Li Mu, looking like an elder lecturing a younger one.

Hearing this, Li Mu lowered his head and unfolded the embroidered handkerchief, only to see the words written on it:

"Be obedient! Everything is fine at home, otherwise... humph!"

???

"What does this mean?"

Li Mu turned the embroidered handkerchief over and over again. However, there were only ten words written on the palm-sized handkerchief, plus a "hump?"

Ge Peining on the side covered her mouth and laughed secretly, obviously having read the content above.

Seeing Li Mu looking at him blankly, he quickly straightened his expression and said:

"The emperor issued an order earlier, asking you to stay at the palace. To save trouble, Yu Wei deceived the eunuch who was delivering the order. I never thought that you would cause such a big commotion at the border."

"Now, most of the court officials have submitted a petition to Your Majesty, demanding that you be punished for deceiving the emperor, but house arrest is just a show."

"..." Li Mu became more and more confused, wondering if he had missed some important plot.

"But don't worry about all that. You're just a cover."

"A cover?"

Ge Peining nodded, then imitated Yin Huanping's tone and said:

"This is a struggle between your majesty and the ministers. Tell that kid not to come back, so he won't be used as a pawn."
