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

Chapter 470: A loving father and a filial son.

"What do you mean, the Imperial City's formation can hurt me?"

Li Mu frowned and his expression became a little solemn.

Sensing Li Mu's mood, Jun Jiuling seemed a little proud and said coquettishly,

"You get scared sometimes!"

"But don't worry, with the bone flute here, this formation can't do anything to you. I'm talking about Taoyao, it won't show mercy to you now."

Hearing this, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

But there was still some sadness in his heart. He didn't expect that the reason why Emperor Hongwen and his two companions were able to succeed in their uprising was because Jun Jiuling saw some of the shadow of the Sixth Emperor in the Queen.

On a whim, he not only cleansed her bones and marrow, but also enabled her to transform from a weak woman into a master of the celestial realm in just twenty years.

He also went against the principles and temporarily closed the formation for a quarter of an hour.

It’s a pity that now that Taoyao has lost this unreliable spirit, it is unlikely for others to replicate the glory of the three brothers.

However, Li Mu's original intention was to find the so-called "Zhen Guo Sword". As long as the formation still had no effect on him, it didn't matter whether it was closed or not.

According to Jun Jiuling's speculation, Hu Qingyao's parents should be masters who are proficient in various formations.

And left this inheritance in Bashiyao.

Therefore, after Bashiyao recognized her master, these ordinary formations had no effect on Li Mu at all.

As long as Li Mu doesn't provoke the sword and is killed by it directly, he can still move freely in the palace as before.

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly realized that something was wrong and said in surprise,

"Since those who hold the formation talisman will be protected by the imperial city formation, how did the dynasties change in the past?"

Li Mu remembered very clearly that in the past 200 years of recorded history alone, two dynasties had perished.

Although the name of the imperial capital is different, Li Mu can be sure that it is Jing'an City.

"Actually, I don't quite understand it. It seems to be related to the dynasty's fortune."

Jun Jiuling's voice sounded a little silly, and then he asked with some doubt,

"Xiao Muzi, even though your Trinity Method is only a fragment, can't you see destiny?"

"Forget it, let's not dwell on these things..." Li Mu shook his head slightly, thinking that now was not the time to dwell on these things.

The "Trinity Method" mentioned by Jun Jiuling is the nameless divination technique.

But compared to the "Green Lotus Transformation Art", she didn't know much about this divination technique.

Although Li Mu learned a lot from the spiritual communication just now, there are still some things that have not been resolved.

Thinking of this, Li Mu decided to leave.

Since he failed to close the formation, he had to go and rescue Emperor Hongwen and the other two from the blood prison himself.

Li Mu would never have thought that the Sixth Emperor had left a wisp of divine consciousness as a life-saving talisman for her, a not-so-bright sword spirit.

When she was about to be completely devoured by Li Mu, she pulled out Tao Yao and cut off the devouring power.

But because of this, the formation was briefly closed during that period of time.

Although Jun Jiuling was not very smart, he was not stupid enough to tell Li Mu, "You almost killed me before!"

After all, the two of them became enemies, even though it was all her own fault.

But this would inevitably make Li Mu feel resentful.

He almost exposed himself because he was so angry before, but Li Mu didn't think about it at all.

I just thought that it was my opportunistic oath that made Jun Jiuling realize that something was wrong, which made him so angry.

……

Soon, Li Mu returned to the secret room behind the rockery in the imperial garden.

However, there was no sign of Emperor Hongwen and his companion.

"Oh my god, could it be that I'm too late and they've already been silenced?" Li Mu's eyes twitched. The previous cleansing of the bones and marrow... did waste some time.

He quickly took out the copper plate and confirmed the location of Emperor Hongwen.

Logically speaking, with General Sun protecting them, it would not be easy to kill the two of them even if they were trapped in a large formation.

Seeing that Emperor Hongwen was nearby, Li Mu did not dare to delay any longer and rushed towards his position in a flash.

If anything happened to Emperor Hongwen, it would be difficult to explain to Zhao Chuyi.

After a while, Li Mu appeared outside a palace.

Just as he was about to get closer, his steps suddenly paused and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"It's my fault. I caused you to suffer so much."

"Father, please don't say that. This is all your fault!"

"Prince?"

With Li Mu's hearing ability, he could easily identify the person speaking in the room.

"Who is it?" At this time, an angry shout from General Sun came from the room.

A dark golden spear broke through the window.

At the same time, dozens of golden chains appeared in the void.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the spear, but did not offer any other resistance.

But when the chains reached Li Mu, they disappeared in an instant.

"Qingyi!" At this time, the palace gate opened, and Emperor Hongwen and General Sun walked out quickly.

When they saw that the person coming was Li Mu, joy appeared in their eyes.

Even General Sun, who had always been unfriendly to Li Mu, looked at Li Mu with admiration.

However, Li Mu's gaze was directed at Zhao Chuxi behind Emperor Hongwen.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Li Mu asked with doubt in his tone.

Although he didn't know how Emperor Hongwen and his companions escaped.

But seeing that the two of them looked so loving and filial, it was not difficult for Li Mu to see that Emperor Hongwen had forgiven his son who had suddenly betrayed him.

Although Li Mu didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs.

But the prerequisite is that the son is indeed Emperor Hongwen's.

Li Mu did not tell Emperor Hongwen that Zhao Chuxi was dead because he was afraid that he would be sad.

But now...he still has to accept this fact.

Thinking of this, Li Mu silently used the method of speech and asked Zhao Chuxi,

"who are you?"

However, Zhao Chuxi's answer made Li Mu stunned.

"The Crown Prince of Xing Dynasty, Zhao Chuxi."

"Huh? You can even deceive yourself?"

Apart from this explanation, Li Mu really couldn't think of any other possibilities.

On the side, Emperor Hongwen seemed to see Li Mu's doubts and said,

"Qingyi, the fake one is dead, this is New Year's Eve."

Immediately, Emperor Hongwen told Li Mu about the conspiracy of the Rongyi people one by one.

According to Zhao Chuxi, he was switched when he was on his way to Yanshan City to pick up Zhao Chuyi and take her back to the capital.

Those people stole his formation talisman and imprisoned him in the East Palace.

During this period, the national teacher Zou Xing found five people who looked similar to him and imitated his every move.

It was not until today that the formation in the palace suddenly disappeared and he ran out.

In the hall, Li Mu looked at Zhao Chuxi in surprise and asked curiously,

"Can we find five people in this world who look exactly like the prince?"

"They are not exactly the same, but only about 50% to 60% similar." Hearing this, Zhao Chuxi shook his head slightly, and said with some lingering fear.

"There was a barbarian beside Zou Xing. He used a carving knife to carve those people to look exactly like me."

"I was also shocked at the time, but later I found out that those people didn't seem to live long... It didn't take long for their faces to start festering."

"Then why again?"

"Qingyi, Eunuch Deng just returned to the palace and told me that Zou Xing killed dozens of warlocks from Ruoshui Hall."

Emperor Hongwen saw that the prince looked unhappy, so he explained for him,

"I think they used these people to maintain their evil magic."

"Is Eunuch Deng okay?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows, thinking that Mr. Ge's medical skills were almost catching up with his own.

He immediately stood up and said goodbye, "Your Majesty, there are probably many things going on in the court right now, and I can't help you, so I will go back first."

After saying this, without waiting for Emperor Hongwen to say anything more, his figure disappeared in a flash.

However, when he left, he looked at Zhao Chuxi one more time.
