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

Chapter 884 "Call me brother."

"Godfather, do we really not need to discuss this with the young master first?"

Yi Siqi withdrew her gaze. She knew that such scenes were happening not only here, but in every state.

Li Mu's reputation will surely spread throughout the entire Kyushu within three days.

Liu Fuhai looked at his adopted daughter strangely. In the past, she never insisted on her decision. After hesitating for a moment, he said,

"That kid... No, Young Master! Although the Young Master did not say it explicitly, his leaving the capital at this juncture is telling us with his actions that we can start taking action."

"One Four Seven, you still have a lot to learn!"

Yi Siqi frowned, obviously not quite believing it.

Based on her understanding of Li Mu, Li Mu is not the kind of person who likes to play tricks. He always says what he wants to say directly.

Liu Fuhai was in a good mood. They had taken advantage of a big opportunity to succeed this time.

Not only did he make those despicable rats of the previous dynasty empty-handed, but he also tricked the Jian family, a group of people who looked down on others.

He rubbed his hands cheerfully and looked at Yi Siqi.

"Next, you should return to the capital as soon as possible. If my father is right, then the young... um, young master should have returned."

"Didn't you say that the young master's trusted confidant... the woman from the medical family, has secretly controlled the other 100 families?"

"It's time for them to contribute. We have 300,000 Hakka people. We can't take the lead in everything."

……

Capital city, royal palace.

The queen was dressed in her best attire and walked into the gate of Yunhe Courtyard.

At this time, several palace maids ran out in a hurry.

"You are so careless and have offended the Phoenix Chariot. Do you know your crime?"

Nanny Xian waved her sleeves and pushed several palace maids to the ground.

The palace maids were so dizzy from the fall that it took them a long time to react. They quickly begged for mercy.

"Slave, I know I was wrong..."

"It's just a small matter."

The queen spoke in a soft tone and glanced at Yunhe Palace, a hint of uneasiness flashing in her eyes.

Nanny Xian had a stern face. She caught a glimpse of the Queen's expression and asked,

"Flustered, what happened?"

"But your highness is in a bad mood again?"

"No... no, that's not it." Several palace maids looked at each other with sweat on their foreheads, hesitating.

"Princess, your highness, no, she's gone."

Nanny Xian thought she had misheard and was stunned for a while. When she saw the queen's face gradually darken, she said angrily,

"What do you mean missing?"

"How do you serve His Highness?"

Nanny Xian raised her hand and slapped each of them.

Several young palace maids had swollen cheeks and blood at the corners of their mouths, but they dared not say a word.

Nanny Xian seemed unsatisfied and wanted to beat her again, but the Queen spoke up to stop her.

"Okay."

"Go and see."

Nanny Xian understood, and disappeared as she lifted her foot. After a moment, she hurried out of the Yunhe Palace, approached the queen, lowered her head, and whispered,

"Master, they are all dead."

As she spoke, she handed a jade talisman to the queen.

The queen took the jade talisman and gently squeezed it. The white jade talisman immediately turned into powder.

"Master, I will send someone to look for ..."

"No need." The queen shook her head and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

"Since Chuyi is gone, there is no point in keeping Yunheyuan."

"There have been a lot of fires in the palace recently. I think this is a punishment from heaven."

Nanny Xian's eyes flickered slightly, knowing that the Queen was still reluctant to let her daughter take the blame, so she nodded and asked tentatively,

"Master, these palace maids..."

The queen didn't say anything, but just raised her hand and waved it to her ear.

Nanny Xian's heart sank and she sighed slightly.

Several young palace ladies were so frightened that when they saw Nanny Xian looking at them, they quickly knelt down and crawled to Nanny Xian's feet, begging,

"Mammy, we know nothing. Please have mercy on us, please have mercy on us."

At this time, several secret guards in black appeared in the yard.

The leading secret guard glanced at Nanny Xian, clasped his fists and saluted,

"Please move aside, Madam. I will take care of these matters."

As he spoke, he took out a fire starter from his bosom, and with the fingers of his right hand, sparks appeared. Then, several huge fireballs hit the palace.

Seeing this, several young palace maids didn't care about anything else, bypassed Nanny Xian and crawled out of the courtyard.

Nanny Xian did not stop her, but slowly closed her eyes.

The palace maid crawling in front was about to leave the yard when a big foot stepped on her left hand.

"what……"

The maid felt pain and slowly moved her eyes upwards, only to see a short and fat man in black with a waist wider than his shoulders.

The short and fat man squatted down, pinched the little maid's chin with his stubby fingers, and shook his head.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity."

The leading man in black heard the noise, frowned and looked back, then heard his men ask,

"Boss, can you give me this...Pfft------"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared in front of the short and fat man.

The black-clad leader raised his foot and kicked him directly in the chest.

The fat body immediately flew several meters away.

"My lord." A glimmer of hope lit up the little palace maid's eyes, and she was about to kowtow to the leader in black.

"Don't worry, if that fat guy dares to touch you again, I'll stomp his hand."

The leader in black spoke in a gentle tone as he helped the little palace maid up from the ground. When he saw the footprints on her hands, he took out a white handkerchief and wiped them carefully.

The little palace maid looked at the man in front of her whose eyes were as deep as the night sky, and her heart gradually became confused.

"Okay, come clean, leave cleanly, close your eyes, don't worry, it won't hurt."

The black-clad leader gently brushed aside the strands of hair on the little palace maid's forehead, rubbed the back of her head, and spoke in a sweet tone.

The little palace maid was immersed in the black-clad leader's gentle tone and had no time to think about the meaning of his words.

The next moment, there was a "click" sound, and her neck turned 180 degrees backwards.

In the distance, the short fat man in black stood up with a grin on his face, rubbing his chest, and ran to the black-clad leader and asked in a mean voice,

"Boss, can you give it to me now...ah------"

However, before he could finish his words, he flew out again, and this time, he flew even farther than before.

The black-robed leader straightened the little maid's head again, stuffed the embroidered handkerchief into her hand, looked at the maids who had just crawled to the door, and gently advised,

"Relax, it won't hurt if you relax. Don't worry, I have good skills."

……

Noon, in front of Dongjing Gate.

Zhao Chuxi was wearing golden armor and riding on a tall horse.

Two hundred iron pagodas and more than a thousand infantrymen surrounded Gan Hong's carriage and followed closely behind.

Qiu He was riding a brown horse, half a body length behind Zhao Chuxi.

Looking at the wide-open city gate in front of me, I always feel uncomfortable.

But what Zhao Chuxi said made sense. The most important thing right now was to enter the palace.

Restoring the country would only require changing the name of the country. Given his prestige among the masters and old ministers, he could do it slowly.

Inside the city, more than a thousand imperial guards stopped the onlookers on both sides of the street.

Sun Hongyu stood on the top of the city wall and saw the army slowly approaching. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice,

"Go tell the Queen and all the officials that the Crown Prince has arrived."

...

In Dongcheng, a lovely couple strolled on the street.

The man is handsome and the woman is pretty, attracting passers-by to look back frequently.

Li Mu held Li Ling'er's little hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Li Linger lowered her head, with a blush spreading from her neck to her ears.

Although she was already very close to Li Mu, she was still so embarrassed to walk hand in hand in public that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Li, Li Mu, where are we going?"

She didn't expect that just because she said she didn't want Li Mu to lock her up in the house and let herself go, Li Mu would actually take her out of the house.

Walking all the way from the west to the east of the city, Li Mu seemed to be doing it on purpose, declaring his sovereignty.

"Call me brother." Li Mu turned his head and looked at Li Ling'er with tenderness.

Li Linger bit her lower lip, thinking that this man was really pushing his luck, but seeing Li Mu's burning and eager gaze, she still called out obediently.

"Brother, brother."

"Well, I'll take you to the theater." Li Mu rubbed her head lovingly, looked up at the dense crowd in the distance, and said excitedly,

"Ling'er will definitely like it."
