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

Li Mu originally wanted to wait for Mr. Ge to come back and diagnose him.

Now that Ruoshuitang has closed down, perhaps it is God's will.

More importantly, he saw the rich man who had just left had festering blisters on his neck, which were obviously symptoms of smallpox.

It was obvious that smallpox had spread to the inner city.

Li Mu felt that it was better to keep a low profile during this period of natural disasters, and that there was no need to rush to enjoy the privileges of the kings, princes, generals and ministers.

However, for three consecutive days, Ruoshui Hall was closed to visitors. The servants sent there could no longer bear to watch and discussed the matter in private.

In recent days, more and more people have been visiting Ruoshui Hall for medical treatment.

However, Ruoshuitang turned a blind eye to it.

Li Mu also began to feel a little curious about who on earth could have such a great reputation.

But I was just curious and didn't try to find out who that person was.

It has been a long time since Li Mu had such a leisurely three days as these.

Finally, on the fourth day, the servant came to tell Li Mu happily that Ruoshui Hall was open to welcome guests.

On the same day, Mu Zhen had someone bring Li Mu a bamboo slip and a sentence.

'It's up to you.'

Li Mu looked at the name on the bamboo slips and was dumbfounded:

"'Convincing people with reason'? That's really... the teacher's personality!"

What Li Mu never expected was that the weapon Mu Zhen used when he was young was also an axe, and a double-blade axe at that.

The so-called "Convincing People with Reason" is a method created by Mu Zhen based on the Confucian "Six Arts" and his own practice.

It has to be said that those who can stand at the top of the martial arts pyramid are hardly restricted by their predecessors.

In the backyard garden.

Xiao Zhao looked at the bamboo slips in her hand, then looked up at Li Mu. Her big watery eyes blinked, which was very touching.

"Sir, is this really for Xiao Zhao?"

Li Mu rubbed Xiao Zhao's head and said with a smile:

"Otherwise, you have to think about it carefully and don't let the teacher down."

Xiao Zhao's face flushed and her eyes moved around. Seeing that there was no one else around, she made a move to dive into Li Mu's arms.

At this time, Qiu Ju poked half of her head out from the edge of the corridor in the distance and stared at Li Mu and the others with a sly smile on her face.

"What are you doing hiding there?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao's body stiffened, his outstretched arms stopped in the air, and his eyes glanced at Qiu Ju who was peeking at him.

Then he let out a cry and took a few steps back, standing there with his head lowered, without saying a word.

"Prince and Sister Xiao Zhao are busy now, I'll come back later!"

Hearing Li Mu's voice, Qiu Ju quickly retracted her head, hid behind the pillar of the corridor, and shouted in panic.

"return!"

"profound!"

Hearing Li Mu's voice, Qiu Ju hung her head and walked in front of Li Mu.

But his eyes were shifty as he looked at the two of them secretly.

"What are you looking for?"

"Ah? No, no!"

Qiu Ju's little trick was caught by Li Mu. She hurriedly tried to make excuses. Then, as if she remembered something, she changed the subject and saluted Li Mu and said:

"This servant greets the prince and Sister Xiao Zhao! Prince, the carriage is ready. My second sister is waiting for you outside the mansion. When will you come over?"

Li Mu nodded slightly: "Let's go, you should be good at home."

Soon, Li Mu arrived at Ruoshui Hall in a carriage.

For some reason, Li Mu felt a little nervous.

He was a little scared, and this time he returned empty-handed again.

Along the way, Li Mu was originally reluctant to speak, but he heard a shocking news from Xia He.

Doctors actually developed a smallpox vaccine and began vaccinating the people in the city two days ago.

Not only that, because of the closure of Ruoshuitang, many dignitaries who contracted smallpox also went to the doctor.

At the beginning, many people were dissatisfied with the doctors' rules and were unwilling to queue up, so they wanted to spend a lot of money to smooth over the relationship.

But the doctor said, "If you don't want to be treated, you can go to Ruoshuitang."

At the same time, the doctor also summoned all the disciples from the surrounding counties to come to Jing'an City to help.

In this way, a storm that could have caused turmoil in the Xing Dynasty was suppressed by doctors as soon as it showed some signs.

Li Mu couldn't help but admire the doctor even more.

It's not just about ability, but also medical ethics.

If the doctor gets the emperor's attention when the disease breaks out, then...

Li Mu shook his head vigorously, thinking, "That would not make me a doctor!"

"It seems that everyone has gone to the outer city."

Li Mu was daydreaming when he heard Xia He's voice.

He always felt that Xia He was a little strange today, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Outside the carriage, Xia He looked at the empty street and spoke.

Li Mu nodded, but did not comment much on Ruoshuitang's behavior.

This time, Ruoshuitang is likely to lose the support of many people among the upper class in the capital.

The two just arrived at the entrance of Ruoshui Hall.

Then he saw the middle-aged manager who had talked with Liu Mingzhe before.

He was obviously in a bad mood today. He stood there listlessly, like an eggplant hit by frost.

"Sir, my prince wants to see the Water God of Destiny. Please lead the way!"

Xia He's voice was calm, but anyone could hear the arrogance in her tone.

The middle-aged manager was obviously a little impatient, and without even raising his head, he said in a bad tone:

"Is it true that anyone can see the hall master if they want to?"

However, when the middle-aged manager looked up at Xia He, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Xia He carefully, and asked quickly:

"Who are you among the four girls?"

Xia He didn't like the look in the middle-aged manager's eyes, but she understood what he meant and replied calmly:

"Xia He!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged manager's expression changed. He turned to look at Li Mu, muttering, "Prince, Prince..."

Then he was startled, clasped his fists, bent over, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"I am Liu Fangjian, and I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yan!"

Li Mu raised his hand to pick his ears. Seeing Manager Liu's expression, he felt a little funny and teased him in his heart.

"I still like your previous, rebellious look!"

Xia He didn't give him any face at all, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she said coldly:

"Manager Liu, let's go. You have delayed my young master for a long time."

Hearing this, Manager Liu hurriedly smiled and led Li Mu and the others into the Weak Water Hall, saying as they walked:

"Your Highness, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you here for a long time! The hall master has been waiting for you for so long that he has lost his appetite. Ruoshui Hall..."

Li Mu listened to what Manager Liu said, his brows slowly furrowed, but he found that he suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

"Why don't you leave?"

Xia He saw Manager Liu suddenly stop and speak in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Prince, our hall master, she, she went out for something..."

Manager Liu turned around slowly, not daring to look at Li Mu, and spoke tremblingly.

"Heh, you just said that your hall master has no appetite and you are saying this again now. Are you kidding His Royal Highness?"

Xia He chuckled, her voice cold.

"No, no, how dare I tease the prince? The hall master was really waiting for the prince, and for this reason, Ruoshui Hall has been closed for three days."

Manager Liu knelt down in front of Li Mu with a thud, and his voice was trembling.

"I just saw His Royal Highness, and I was so happy that I lost my mind. Please have mercy on me, Your Highness! Please have mercy on me, Your Highness!"

As he said this, he started to kowtow.

"Alright, alright, just find a quiet place and we'll wait there."

Li Mu waved his hand.

He never imagined that the Ruoshuitang closed down because it was waiting for him.

He felt a little embarrassed, so how could he blame others?

"The prince called you to get up, didn't you hear it?"

Li Mu saw that Manager Liu in front of him was still kowtowing and completely ignored his words. He was thinking about whether to go forward and help him up, but he heard Xia He say coldly from the side.

Li Mu frowned slightly, glanced at the girl, and thought,

"Does she have a grudge against this Manager Liu? Or does she think I'm a playboy?"

. . . . . .

However, at this moment, at the entrance of Linglong Water Pavilion.

Qiu Ju looked at the woman in front of her with a strange expression and said:

"You two, sisters! The prince is not at home right now. How about you two go to the side hall to rest and have some refreshments? When the prince comes back, I will go and inform him."
