Chapter 692: People coming from the Southern Region.
Li Mu turned around, his brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, and his eyes fell on Zhao Chuyi's hand hidden in her sleeve.
"First grade of junior high school?"
Zhao Chuyi pursed her lips and said "I'm sorry" in a mosquito-like voice.
The next moment, a golden cage appeared in the air and was turned upside down on Li Mu.
Zhao Chuyi turned her head away, not daring to look into Li Mu's eyes, and said with a dry throat,
"The Queen Mother has asked my brother to leave the capital in two hours. You can just stay here for two hours."
Li Mu then discovered that the stone table next to him was filled with fruits, snacks and refreshments. This was obviously premeditated.
Li Mu was almost laughing out of anger. For Zhao Chuxi, provoking him was one thing.
More importantly, Li Mu felt that this beast who dared to kill his father and usurp the throne might do something bad to Zhao Chuyi in the future.
Perhaps others have not noticed, but when Li Mu was in Tianzong, he saw that Zhao Chuyi clearly had the ambition to be the crown prince of a country.
He is decisive in his actions and even a little cold-blooded when weighing the pros and cons.
Today's incident just illustrates this point.
Li Mu turned around and walked to the stone bench table, sat down carelessly, picked up a piece of cake and put it into his mouth, and said in a neutral tone,
"Chuyi, aren't you afraid that I'll be angry?"
"Sir, trust Chuyi. Chuyi will not harm you. Two hours. After two hours, you can punish Chuyi however you want."
Zhao Chuyi pursed her lips, her tone pleading.
"Two hours?" Li Mu smiled and pointed to the spot beside him, his tone nonchalant.
"Okay, sit down. I really miss you after not seeing you for so long."
"Chuyi also misses you..." Zhao Chuyi clenched the jade talisman in her hand tightly. She wanted to agree, but she couldn't.
She was very clear about Li Mu's strength. Without this formation, no one in the entire palace could stop him. If she went there now, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?
Seeing that Zhao Chuyi was hesitant to move, Li Mu frowned slightly, his tone somewhat unhappy.
"Don't believe me?"
"No, no..." Zhao Chuyi bit her lower lip tightly. She naturally felt Li Mu's anger.
If someone did this to her, she would also be angry.
Emotionally, she felt that she should trust Li Mu. Since Li Mu agreed, she could just drink tea and chat with Li Mu in this garden.
To ease the pain of missing someone after not seeing them for so many days.
But rationally, she knew that she couldn't do that. Even she was a little angry with herself, so how could Li Mu not be angry?
If she went over and Li Mu snatched the jade talisman, there would be no turning back for what happened today.
"Sun Hongyu, this is the harem. It's inappropriate for you to be here, and you even dare to stop me!"
At this moment, a woman's angry voice was heard from outside the garden.
Li Mu turned his head and was stunned, "Shanshan?"
"Master!" When Shanshan heard Li Mu's voice, she no longer cared about anything else. She picked up the heavy sword behind her and swung it casually. Sun Hongyu and a dozen royal guards flew backwards immediately.
"Hua Jin... cough cough cough!" Li Mu almost choked on the pastry. He patted his chest and took several sips of tea before he recovered.
Zhao Chuyi, who was standing by, wanted to move forward in a hurry, but stopped abruptly, looked fiercely outside the garden, and shouted angrily,
"Shanshan, you are becoming more and more outrageous!"
"Princess……"
Shanshan puffed up her cheeks and appeared in front of the golden prison in a flash.
Sun Hongyu and others who hurriedly caught up saw Zhao Chuyi's eyes, saluted, turned around and retreated.
"Princess, what are you doing?!"
When Shanshan heard that Li Mu had come to the palace, she hurried over, but she saw this scene as soon as they met.
"It has nothing to do with you. Go back to the palace first."
Zhao Chuyi obviously didn't want to explain. Her mother told her that men care most about face. She originally wanted only she and Li Mu to know about this matter.
Now with the addition of Shanshan and people like Sun Hongyu, she has become a little impatient.
Li Mu and Shan Yuan had a bet before.
After Shanyuan rescued the elders of the Bai family, the royal family wanted to reconcile with the Bai family, so they had to recognize the bet.
Before long, Li Mu was no longer the Crown Prince of Yan.
At this time, she couldn't let Li Mu act on impulse again.
As long as Zhao Chuxi escapes, all the blame will fall on the prince alone.
He did something wrong and lost his position as crown prince. From now on, he can only be a rich man with no worries about food and clothing.
She believed that as long as she explained it clearly to Li Mu afterwards, Li Mu would be able to understand.
But if Li Mu goes to meet Zhao Chuxi now, someone with ulterior motives will definitely add fuel to the fire.
After all, when hundreds of families were in trouble, Linglong Waterside, like other noble families in the capital, remained silent. In the eyes of others, it was standing on the side of the prince.
And the bet further showed that Li Mu did not approve of Shan Yuan going to rescue people.
So the Queen's idea is to deal with it coldly, as long as Zhao Chuxi escapes successfully today.
Even if Li Mu's successor was not the crown prince, he would be a prince consort, and gradually no one would remember this matter.
Since Li Mu did not participate in this matter at the beginning, she can no longer let Li Mu, who will no longer have the protection of the Prince of Yan's Palace, participate in it.
Shanshan was obviously not aware of all this. She only saw that her beloved master was locked in a trap.
In a fit of anger, he swung his sword and started chopping.
"Shanshan, stop it!"
Zhao Chuyi was shocked, fearing that Shanshan would be injured by the trapped formation, so she simply locked her in as well.
Shan Shan swung her sword, but missed the golden prison but nearly hit Li Mu. She was at a loss and wanted to say something, but saw Li Mu staring at her without blinking, muttering to himself,
"What a giant loli! It turns out that every fat person has potential."
"Master... OK, it looks good~"
Although Shanshan didn't understand what Li Mu said, she enjoyed the look in his eyes very much and her pretty face turned red with embarrassment.
Before this, she had always been nervous. After all, with such a height, no ordinary man could accept it.
But now seeing Li Mu's reaction, he finally felt relieved.
Her master Shanshan is indeed not an ordinary person!
It was impossible for Li Mu not to be shocked. He was just a little black fat boy a few months ago.
But now she has turned into a giant loli two meters tall. No one would dare to believe it.
"Are you really Shanshan?"
Li Mu was obviously still a little bit unbelieving.
Almond eyes, rosy cheeks, a delicate nose, and a chubby oval face. It would be fine if she had lost weight, but what's wrong with her skin?
I touched it unconsciously...it was smooth and tender, not fake at all.
"Master~" Shanshan called out in a pretentious voice.
In the past, Li Mu would only touch my head at most, but the first time he was pinched on the face, I felt like I was going to faint from happiness.
Li Mu quickly withdrew his hand, his tone somewhat awkward.
"Sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a moment."
"No, Master, don't say sorry, Shanshan, Shanshan is so happy."
Shanshan pursed her lips and moved her head closer to Li Mu.
Li Mu rubbed her head as he did before and said with a smile,
"Are you happy being locked up here?"
Shanshan seemed to have just remembered their situation. She looked at Zhao Chuyi in confusion, thought for a moment and said seriously,
"I'm happy. As long as I'm with Master, I'm happy no matter what."
Li Mu glanced at Zhao Chuyi and sighed slightly.
"Okay, would you please stay here and chat with Master?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Shanshan nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Chuyi pursed her lips, feeling a pang in her heart.
Li Mu's look just now made her suddenly feel as if she had done something wrong. She wanted to explain, but when she opened her mouth, nothing came out.
Li Mu told Shanshan about their situation in a very relaxed manner.
Before this, he wasn't actually that angry.
But at the moment when Shanshan drew her sword without hesitation and slashed at the cage, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
He could understand that Zhao Chuyi didn't want a head-on conflict between him and the prince, but he couldn't understand why Zhao Chuyi still didn't trust him even though he had made a promise.
Zhao Chuyi seems to be really suitable to be an emperor, but seems not very suitable to be a wife.
He and Shanshan chatted occasionally, and Shanshan told her the gossip about the ladies and girls that she heard in Tianzong.
He told Shanshan about what he had seen and heard during this period.
Zhao Chuyi just looked at the two of them. She thought that two hours would pass quickly, but she never expected it to be so long.
After an unknown amount of time, a little palace maid suddenly ran in from outside the garden.
Zhao Chuyi's face instantly turned dark. She had clearly ordered that no one was allowed to approach here today, but someone repeatedly challenged her patience. She was about to get angry when she heard the little palace maid anxiously say,
"Your Highness, the Queen, the Queen invites you to the palace."
"Now?" Zhao Chuyi's face was gloomy. She didn't want to leave. Li Mu was trapped in the formation. If he was hurt by someone, she would not forgive herself.
The little palace maid lowered her head, glanced at the golden cage, and said hesitantly,
"Her Highness Linglong and the three clan leaders of the Wu Clan are in the main hall right now. The Empress said that you must go with the Crown Prince."
