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

On the way back in the carriage, Li Mu sighed, "Sometimes being a bad guy is more comfortable than being a good guy."

At the same time, he felt a little guilty for the ill-fated couple in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"His reaction at that time was probably not fake..."

Thinking back to the expression and body reaction of the girl when she threatened Lu Jianjia.

Li Mu was certain that Lu Jianjia was not the kind of person who would keep a lover, and it was even possible that she was still a virgin.

But the relationship between Lu Jianjia and the servant named Miao Hu in the courtyard must be genuine.

Li Mu instantly imagined in his mind a bloody love story between a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the daughter of a wealthy family.

Sighing slightly, Li Mu silently said sorry in his heart.

"At least the engagement has been cancelled. It's good for both you and me."

Li Mu did think about accepting Lu Jianjia's proposal, but this idea only existed in his mind for 0.0001 seconds before it was directly strangled by Li Mu.

This is not just because of Zhao Chuyi. Li Mu asked himself, he really couldn't do the saintly thing of marrying a wife and fulfilling the so-called true love.

No, Li Mu even felt that even a saint could not do this.

"This young lady doesn't seem to be very sophisticated. We need to think of other ways."

Li Mu was secretly calculating in his mind.

Although I said that to Lu Jianjia before in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But after meeting Lu Jianjia, Li Mu instinctively felt that this girl didn't seem like someone who could accomplish anything.

"There's still time. Chuyi and the others haven't arrived in the capital yet. Maybe the old man can find a way."

Li Mu was at a loss for a moment and could only place his hopes on the Prince of Yan and his wife.

More importantly, he has now stayed in the capital for too long.

In the past few days, Li Mu has carefully examined the scars on Su Yuwei's body.

As smooth as jade and as delicate as water, there is absolutely no sign of injury, and the skin is even more pink and tender than before.

This means that Mu Zhen still fulfilled the agreement with Li Mu.

It shouldn't be long now before Li Mu and Mu Zhen set off south to attend the annual Confucian Fengxue Gathering.

However, to his surprise, the carriage had just returned to the entrance of Linglong Waterside Pavilion.

Then I saw Mu Zhen's carriage slowly approaching from a distance.

Li Mu's face lit up with joy. Now he respected this teacher from the bottom of his heart.

Waiting at the gate of the mansion, looking forward to it.

What Li Mu didn't expect was that it was not only Mu Zhen who came, but also an old man with white hair and a youthful face.

"Qingyi, this is Master Ge."

"Junior Li Qingyi greets Senior Medical Saint."

Li Mu already had some guesses in his mind before, and when he heard Mu Zhen's words, he bowed quickly and greeted him with Confucian etiquette.

Mr. Ge looked about the same age as Mu Zhen. He was dressed in a coarse cloth robe and looked somewhat like an immortal.

Li Mu saw Mr. Ge in front of him, looked him up and down, nodded slightly, and said:

"Xiao Ning, why don't you come and apologize to the prince?"

Li Mu then realized that behind Mu Zhen's carriage, there was actually a slightly smaller carriage following.

As Ge Lao finished his words, Li Mu saw Ge Peining slowly walking out of the carriage.

The face as beautiful as a flower, coupled with the plump and graceful curves, is really lethal.

"It is my fault that I have not learned enough skills and misunderstood His Royal Highness. I hope His Royal Highness will forgive me and not treat me, a woman, with such low standards."

Ge Peining walked closer to Li Mu, lowered her chin slightly, and knelt down to salute Li Mu.

There was a hint of grievance in his tone, and his eyes glanced at Li Mu from time to time while he spoke.

Anyone who sees this scene would not have the heart to blame such a pitiful beauty.

Li Mu used great willpower to move his eyes away from Ge Peining. He almost shouted in his heart several times,

"So what if she's the emperor's woman?"

"Madam, what are you talking about? Actually, I am not sure about this question myself."

Li Mu first looked at the street corner, then looked at the sky, and finally had no choice but to set his gaze on the toes under Ge Peining's skirt.

However, as soon as he said this, Li Mu couldn't help but think,

"Which one is better, this one or Xiao Zhao's?"

Li Mu was startled when he thought about it. He simply closed his eyes and turned around and said:

"Teacher, Mr. Ge, please go to the mansion first."

Afterwards, he didn't care about etiquette and walked towards the mansion first.

After walking a few steps, I heard Boss Ge behind me saying with a smile:

"My friend Zhu Ting, your disciple has an extraordinary physique. At his age, he should marry several concubines. Please don't use your Confucian way to control him too harshly."

Li Mu was a little confused and wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he decided not to rush.

...

Soon, several people sat down in the main hall.

A few people exchanged a few words casually.

What Li Mu didn't expect was that Mr. Ge was already 97 years old this year, but looked about the same age as Mu Zhen.

This beauty-preserving skill is even more terrifying than Mo Wuyan's.

After the shock, Li Mu noticed that the atmosphere had become much more lively.

Although Ge Peining didn't say a word during the period, this just happened to be what Li Mu wanted.

He immediately asked about the main business.

"Mr. Ge just said that I have an extraordinary physique. I wonder what he meant by that?"

Elder Ge nodded and said with a smile, "Similar to your father, but also different."

Li Mu was a little puzzled and looked at Ge Lao in doubt, hoping that he could give an answer.

"Sir, do you know what the first level of body training is?"

Mr. Ge did not give Li Mu a direct answer, but asked with a smile.

"Practice the five internal organs to be immune to all poisons?"

Li Mu thought of what Li Ling'er had mentioned before, saying that the King of Yan had a first-level physique, but was not immune to all poisons.

Mr. Ge shook his head slightly and asked:

"Whether it's the inner or outer family, the first stage is the sum and sublimation of the first three stages. Why is it that the body refining is not the same? Has the prince ever thought about this problem?"

"I don't know anything. Can't you just tell me what you want to say?"

Li Mu complained in his heart, but asked modestly:

"Master Ge, you mean the first stage of body refining, which is the sum and sublimation of the first three stages?"

Mr. Ge nodded, then shook his head and said:

"Has the prince ever been poisoned?"

Li Mu was slightly stunned and thought to himself what kind of question was this.

But I still thought about it carefully.

Strictly speaking, he was poisoned twice.

The first time he saw it was in a scene in his mind. It was the poison sent by the spies planted by the Lin family in the Prince of Yan's Mansion when he first arrived in Yanshan City.

The other time was when I first met Su Yuwei in Lingyin Pavilion.

The poison should have been applied by Su Yuwei on her body for self-defense. Li Mu only felt that he smelled a strange fragrance at that time, and then he lost all strength in his body.

Seeing the change in Li Mu's expression, Ge Lao asked without waiting for Li Mu to answer:

"Sir, do you still remember what happened after you were poisoned? Or, how did you cure the poison?"

Li Mu was just thinking back to the critical moment when he suddenly heard what Ge Lao said. He was also stunned.

"Yes, how did you cure my poison?"

There was too little information in the picture in my mind to make a judgement.

But thinking back to the day when Su Yuwei kidnapped Li Mu, he was first thrown into a water tank and washed thoroughly, and then...

"Could it be that Yu Wei cured me of the poison? Or is it because of the dual cultivation technique that can heal my wounds?"

Li Mu looked at Ge Lao with some surprise. This matter should be known by only the women around him.

"Could it be that someone accidentally leaked the news, or has this medical saint's medical skills really reached the point where he can know everything just by looking at it."

Seeing that Li Mu looked conflicted, Ge Lao did not say anything. He just stared at Li Mu slowly.

At this moment, Li Mu's heart suddenly jumped, as if struck by thunder. He looked up at Ge Lao and said with uncertainty in his tone:

"I seem to have vomited?"
