Outerhouse.

She had already changed tea once, and Li Shimin and Li Mu had not finished chatting in the inner room. Sun was a little worried about whether Li Mu's body could support it, but when faced with Li Shimin, she didn't dare to say anything. She kept paced back and forth at the door and sighed.

Eunuch Gao sat near the door, his eyes swept across the people in the house from time to time. The sound insulation of the outer room here is not very good, and you can vaguely hear one and a half sentences, but you can't hear it when you are far away. Eunuch Gao sat here just to prevent others from hearing the dialogue between the king and the minister.

After about one stick of incense, the maid came over and told the chef that the chef had prepared lunch, but who was in the mood to eat it now. Bai Qiaoqiao had to instruct it to heat it in the pot first and use it later.

Inner room.

Li Shimin had finished his generous speech, staring at Li Mu, waiting for his reply. What else could Li Mu say? He had just wanted to mess with Shandong gentry and Wei Zheng, and by the way, it made Li Shimin feel guilty. It was such a simple and simple thing, but now that Li Shimin has valued it, and suddenly it became very embarrassing.

By Li Shimin's words, he became the savior who did not hesitate to be the people of the world. Li Mu himself became the bad guy who took care of the people for his own personal grievances.

Li Mu couldn't help but suck his teeth. Why is there no record in history books? Li Shimin is clever and eloquent?

Of course, if you talk about quibbling, even if Li Shimin said this, Li Mu still has a lot to say. He can even say nothing and just cheat. But he can't do that, because he is not trying to compete for a while. Even if Li Shimin cut off all Wei Zheng and others now, in terms of the current situation, there will still be a person like Wei Zheng to replace him.

This is caused by the situation, not because of one person.

What should I do? Not only can I save Li Shimin's face, but I am not so embarrassed, but I can also preserve the fruits of victory...

Li Mu turned his mind quickly, and while thinking, he spoke, his voice still weak: "Your Majesty's meaning, I understand. Before I make a decision, can I ask what Your Majesty plans to deal with this matter."

"I have issued an order, and Wei Zheng, Lu Zhilin and others falsely accused him of his salary for half a year."

Li Mu frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, they falsely accused me of me. Even if I give it to Dali Temple, I will not just be fined. Is Your Majesty a partial helper?"

"I haven't finished speaking." Li Shimin had long expected that Li Mu would not be satisfied and said, "I promise you that no matter how you take revenge, I will just pretend that I don't know... As long as no one's life is left, you can do it. Lu Zhilin wrote a letter to resign today, and I rejected it, just for you to vent his anger!"

Just as Li Mu was about to speak, Li Shimin said again: "As for Wei Zheng, you know his situation. The half-year salary penalty would cost him half a life. If no one helped him, he would probably have to beg in three months. Also, didn't I send his daughter here? Is it not enough to help you? Isn't it enough to relieve you?"

Hearing this, Li Mu finally found a perfect step. Li Mu staggered up, knelt on the bed, and said loudly in a "hoarse" voice: "Your Majesty! You misjudged me!"

Li Shimin was stunned by his attitude, so he hurried to the edge of the bed, reached out to help him, and said, "If you have something to do, just lie down and say it. What are you doing? Why do you give a big gift?"

Li Mu refused to get up, his voice was hoarse, but the door was so loud that he could vaguely hear it in the outer room.

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "How can Your Majesty regard me as a lustful person? What does the feud between me and Wei Zheng have to do with women? When I was in the court, I asked Your Majesty to take care of Miss Wei when I was fainted. Because I had decided that with Wei Zheng's mind, after this matter, I would inevitably be angry with Miss Wei. I am afraid that I will not be able to return home. I pity Miss Wei because I am in the opinion of "Teacher's Discourse". She can understand my thoughts in "Talks", but this does not mean that I have an inappropriate thoughts about Miss Wei. I am definitely unable to do it, and I will vent my hatred for Wei Zheng on Miss Wei!"

Li Mu said loudly: "Your Majesty! You have taken me underestimated you!"

Li Shimin really didn't expect Li Mu to say this. This is completely opposite to what the queen expected? Could it be that the queen also misunderstood this time and saw Li Mu wrongly?

"Li Mu, I met Wei Yingluo yesterday. She looks handsome and well-educated. It is a good thing for you to stay by your side. Wei Zheng has already said that he wants to break off the relationship between father and daughter with her, and you don't want her. What should you do if you ask me to do?"

"Your Majesty, I can pay for Miss Wei. After all, her experience is also related to me."

"This..." Li Shimin was a little embarrassed. Originally, Wei Yingluo gave Li Mu, which was considered one of the compensations to Li Mu. But now Li Mu doesn't want it, so the compensation is a bit short of quality. What should I do?

Li Shimin has always been very clear about Queen Changsun’s plan. Therefore, after making the plan, he did not think of the second option at all. He was caught off guard and didn’t know how to deal with it.

"Li Mu, you can't listen to you in this matter. You have also said that you are responsible for Wei Yingluo's experience. It's better to call her here and see how she chooses."

Li Mu was actually quite curious about how Wei Yingluo would choose. He hesitated for a moment and nodded in a way that was 'not for it'.

Wei Yingluo was washing dishes in the kitchen when she was suddenly called to the backyard. She thought that Li Zhien was going to cause trouble for her again, and she felt a little nervous. Zhenzhu wanted to go with her, but she refused. She followed Li Chongyi alone and came to the back house.

Seeing so many people in the room, Wei Yingluo was a little panicked, but she still treated her politely. Li Zhien felt a little panicked when she saw her. She heard Li Mu's words just now, and the things she forced Wei Yingluo to do were done on her back, and Li Mu didn't know anything about it. What if Li Mu was angry about it?

Wei Yingluo came to the inner room and saw Li Shimin. He quickly knelt down: "Minister Wei Yingluo, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Get up." Li Shimin called Wei Yingluo. Because of the fact that he ran away from home, Li Shimin had a bad impression of Wei Yingluo, so he had no good face: "I gave you to Li Mu as a slave, but Li Mu said that if one thing goes one by one, he would not be willing to take his anger on you and would be willing to take out some money to settle you. Would you like?"

Wei Yingluo looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu nodded. Wei Yingluo's eyes turned red in an instant. She thought that Li Zhien was instructed by Li Mu behind the scenes. But now it seems that he was wrongly blamed him. Li Mu repays his grievances with kindness, and is a true gentleman! How can such a man not be admired?

But then he thought again, is it really a good thing for Li Mu to be his slave? Will he think that he has clear grudges and let him go here and seek revenge on his father? Moreover, the family must be unable to go back now. Even if Li Mu gave him some money, he could settle down. How can he live with himself and Pearl?

Only after leaving home did Wei Yingluo realize that life was not easy. She had no confidence in herself and could live with Pearl without relying on the protection of others.

Thinking of this, Wei Yingluo knelt down again, this time she knelt in front of Li Mu.

"Marty, Yingluo is ignorant. She misunderstood the Marquis several times and collides with the Marquis. Marquis Meng has a large number of men and does not make things difficult for Yingluo. Until now, she is still thinking about Yingluo. Yingluo doesn't know how to say the gratitude in Yingluo. Yingluo understands the kindness of the Marquis. If the Marquis has made a decision, Yingluo dares not disobey, but it is up to the Marquis to make the decision. Ruo Hou has not made a decision in his heart and asks Yingluo what he thinks, Yingluo doesn't want to leave."

"Don't want to leave?" Li Mu frowned and said, "I'll know that Zhien must be embarrassed by your clothes. Your hands were soaked in water. She asked you to wash the dishes, right?"

Wei Yingluo raised her head and subconsciously said, "How could the Marquis know?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "I still understand Zhien's temper. Your father falsely accused me of it. She will definitely cause trouble for you if she can't go to find your father. I want you to leave, and it is also for you. Zhien is my concubine, and I do it for me, so I can't punish her. But I don't want to blame you either. After all, my father's affairs have nothing to do with you. You have to think about it. If you stay in the mansion, you can only be a maid and work every day. Can you bear it?"

Wei Yingluo pursed her lips for a while and nodded.

"Why are you doing this?" Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "I'll give you enough money. Wouldn't you buy a house yourself and live a good life? I have to suffer. Could it be that I'm stimulating and have a brain disease like me?"

Wei Yingluo shook her head and said, "Yingluo just wants to atone for her father. If the Marquis has any dissatisfaction, she will vent her feelings on Yingluo. Please don't take revenge on her father."

"So that's it!" Li Mu turned cold and said, "Wei Yingluo, my grudge against your father Wei Zheng has arisen because of your father. I will distinguish this from him. It is not something you can solve as a slave and a servant. I will not agree to you. I advise you that a daughter's family should not be mixed in these troubles, buy a house with money and buy some land with money. If it is really not possible to find a son-in-law to live a good life, and don't think about these useless things!"

Wei Yingluo lay on the ground and cried, "Yingluo won't leave, I just want the Marquis not to take revenge on his father."

Li Mu said angrily: "You speak like I'm hurting your father? You know it's revenge. If he doesn't bully me, how can he get revenge? You like to be a maid, okay, let it go! Just be a maid in my mansion, and you don't need you to eat in one bite!"

After saying that, before Wei Yingluo cried again, Li Mu coughed and shouted, "Big man, take this stupid woman away for me, I'll be annoyed when I look at her!"

Li Chongyi responded and pulled Wei Yingluo away. Li Shimin watched the whole process from the side and smiled and said, "Li Mu, I am a person who has experienced it. In my opinion, this girl is interested in you. Why should you keep others from thousands of miles away? You have a grudge against Wei Zheng and marry his daughter, why not anger him? Why not do it?"

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu said seriously: "Everything I do has a bottom line. I don't want to use tricks behind my back or take advantage of the opportunity. I just want to fight head-on. Even if I pay a lot of more price for it, I don't want to leave anyone with my own words. I have said about my affairs with Wei Zheng. I have different ideas and only serve my own masters. I am doing it for Your Majesty and the people of the world. Wei Zheng is doing it for Shandong gentry. He is not wrong from Wei Zheng's standpoint. But from my standpoint, I don't realize what he is wrong. So I am not willing to give in, and I want to fight him!"

"Wei Zheng borrowed his daughter to disappear and falsely accused Yu Chen. This is his despicable act. If I also use Wei Yingluo, wouldn't I be a charity with him? I will never do this. I want to convince Wei Zhengxin. Not only should I let him know that he was wrong, but I also have to be the top scholar and make him become a teacher. Only in this way can I follow this tone!"

Li Shimin keenly grasped the point of Li Mu's speech and said, "What do you mean, you will continue to manage the affairs of the two major companies? Otherwise, how do you prove that Wei Zheng is wrong?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "I promised Your Majesty that I will not leave the mess alone. However, I have a request."

"You said, no matter what your request is, I will promise you."

"I want to take a winter vacation."

Li Shimin didn't understand and said, "What does it mean? What is winter vacation?"

"It's from the time of falling snow to Xuerong. I don't want to care about anything, I just want to stay at home to recuperate. Your Majesty rest assured, the two major companies are not important now. They will do what they have arranged before and will not make any major mistakes. I also want to use this to hit them, just want to take advantage of me and treat me as a fool. How can I do such a thing as a pie falling from the sky!"

Li Shimin said helplessly: "You kid are really unbearable. Anyone who provokes you will take revenge. Then I have disappointed you. How do you take revenge on me?"

"To be honest, I plan to sell a valley in the imperial property to me at a low price, as a revenge on His Majesty."

"Ha! You really dare to say it!" Li Shimin said angrily: "Since you know it is imperial property, do you dare to sell it?"

Li Mu said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am the treasury order, and the imperial property will naturally be taken to me to deal with it. Is this the power that Your Majesty gives me?"

"Then do you use it privately?" Li Shimin jumped and said, "I want your order to make money for me. If I sell my property, I can use you? If you do this, how can I trust you again?"

"I have no intention of hiding it from Your Majesty, I will state it in the account book."

Li Shimin was angry and said, "To what you mean, is it just a slap in my mind?"

Li Mu sighed and said, "I don't mean this. I feel uncomfortable. I feel that I have no compensation and cannot overcome this hurdle in my heart. If Your Majesty is reluctant, I will pretend that I have not said it. I will listen to Your Majesty, devote my efforts to it until I die. But there is a saying that I said before, nothing will be done. If I mess up one or two things, maybe it is because of my unhappiness. I would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive me more, and I will not think about it..."

"Okay, okay! Okay, you Li Mu, you've hit me on the head!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth: "Okay! Where you want, I'll give you what I want, isn't it just a valley in the suburbs? I'll give it to you! Is this time okay? Do it well and mess it up, I'm the only one who asks!"

Li Mu immediately smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long Eternity."
