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

Hearing this, the light in Ge Pei's eyes dimmed a lot, but he still spoke firmly:

"I am not afraid of other people's gossip. Could it be that the prince is not as good as a woman like me?"

Li Mu frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at Ge Peining, and heard Ge Peining say again:

"I heard that the prince is highly appreciated by the current emperor. Not only was he rewarded with the exquisite waterside pavilion and the servants in the yard, but even Jing'an's most talented woman, Lu Jianjia, may have been given to the prince. Is there anyone in this Xing Dynasty who is afraid of the prince?"

Li Mu didn't expect Ge Peining to mention Emperor Hongwen.

"What does she mean by this? Threatening me with the Emperor?"

"Xiao Ning, you must not be rude to the prince."

Elder Ge reprimanded Ge Peining, then turned to look at Li Mu and said,

"Your Highness, don't worry about this. Although there is a big age gap between me and Young Master Zhuting, we are equals. Xiao Ning should be your junior, so you don't have to worry about what others say."

Although Li Mu knew that the two men had good intentions, he still did not intend to agree and was about to open his mouth to refuse.

Everything in front of my eyes suddenly turned white.

Then, the scene in my mind that I hadn't seen for a long time appeared again.

In the picture, Li Mu is walking alone in a place that looks like a tropical rain.

Although the forest is filled with miasma, the flowers and plants are lush and the trees are full of new buds.

Then the scene changed, and Li Mu appeared at the bottom of a canyon, with the flower called Twin Flowers in front of him.

Li Mu in the picture was about to reach out to pick it up when a giant centipede that was over ten meters long suddenly appeared behind him and pounced on Li Mu.

Soon the scene changed again. The giant centipede fell to the ground and the twin flowers had withered. Only Li Mu in the picture was standing alone, looking annoyed.

The picture faded like ink, and Li Mu came back to his senses.

"What do you mean? Because the battle destroyed the twins, or something else? Is this telling me to be careful?"

Li Mu recalled the scene he had seen before, his body trembled violently, he looked up at Ge Lao and asked:

"Senior, may I ask when will the twin flowers bloom?"

Although Mr. Ge was puzzled as to why Li Mu suddenly asked about the flowering period, he patiently replied:

"The flower blooms for only a quarter of an hour every March. So the hardest part is living in that miasma valley for a month and not being able to leave the flower buds."

Li Mu nodded slightly, then froze for a moment and said in a lost voice: "Every March?"

"Yes, there are still two days until the twelfth lunar month. Three months is enough time for the prince to cultivate a body that can resist poison."

"The twins themselves are extremely poisonous. Even if they are hidden in a jade box, the toxicity will still leak out, and they need to be warmed with true qi every day, otherwise they will still not be able to be preserved. Gu Cai needs the prince's help."

However, Li Mu had no time to pay attention to what Mr. Ge said. The look in his eyes was sometimes shocked and sometimes confused.

"Three months! How can this strange picture in my head predict three months?"

All previous speculations about the scene in his mind were overturned by Li Mu in an instant.

"Why are these precautions appearing now? Even if I don't ask now, it's impossible for Mr. Ge not to remind me again and again. It's not for this reason!"

“Is it really just random?”

Li Mu had a lot of thoughts for a moment, and he couldn't figure out the matter no matter how hard he tried.

At this time, Ge Peining stood up, walked to Li Mu, and said:

"I know that the prince despises me because I am a widow, but this matter concerns my life, and I have to go. Your Highness, please let me know what you want, and I will never bargain!"

Hearing this charming and magnetic voice, Li Mu was stunned, and suddenly looked up at Ge Peining, his eyes full of surprise and passion, without any concealment.

"Yes, it's you, yes, you!"

Li Mu's voice was urgent, but the joy in his words was clearly discernible to anyone.

"No doubt about it. It was because I was about to refuse to go with her that the scene appeared."

"Yes, yes, this is not just predicting the future, it's more like..."

"As if to remind myself!"

Li Mu suddenly remembered what would have happened if she had not been able to protect Xiao Zhao when the scene first appeared.

Or as in the picture, your hand was cut by a tile.

At that time, Zhang Hanrui would have concluded that he had suffered severe internal injuries and would have killed him on the spot.

Li Mu was sure that at that time, he had no chance of escaping from Zhang Hanrui.

The second time was when the Lin family poisoned someone.

"Even if I ate it, it wouldn't kill me. There must be another reason."

Li Mu's mind was working rapidly, thinking of various possibilities.

Immediately, I felt a chill in my heart.

"If I eat that food, I will probably take advantage of the situation and fake my death to escape from Prince Yan's Mansion. Is the Lin family afraid of me? Or are they afraid of Qingfeng Monastery? From the perspective of the Lin family, if I die, I will still offend the Ren Sect. This is unreasonable..."

The next moment, Li Mu's expression was shocked, and he roared in his heart,

"No! This makes sense. The Lin family wants to escape and capture Li Ling'er. I, who was able to kill a second-level assassin and dozens of third-level assassins, or more precisely, the original owner, am the one the Lin family fears the most."

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but think of Lin Zhaoxing.

"It turns out that he didn't come to propose marriage, nor did he come to test my bottom line. He just came to see if I was dead or not."

Li Mu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, thinking back to when he had confidently told Li Ling'er that Lin Zhaoxing was here to test the bottom line of Prince Yan's Mansion.

"Sure enough, this kind of pretense that requires a lot of brain cells is not suitable for me. Fortunately, I am the only one who knows this."

However, just as Li Mu was thinking about it for the third time, a picture appeared in his mind.

Ge Peining's voice suddenly came to my ears.

"I can agree to your request, but, but..."

Li Mu looked at Ge Peining blankly, not knowing what she was talking about, and asked:

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Could it be that the prince still doesn't want me to go with you?"

There were tears in Ge Peining's eyes and her voice was trembling.

Li Mu finally reacted. Seeing that Ge Peining looked extremely wronged, he quickly put on a kind smile and said to comfort her:

"I was confused for a moment. With Madam's help, this matter will be absolutely safe."

Seeing Li Mu agreed, Ge Peining sighed softly and said:

"Since the prince has agreed, please arrange a place for me to rest."

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile:

"It's natural."

Then he turned to look in the direction of Ge Lao, but was stunned and asked:

"Where are the seniors?"

"Grandpa just finished talking to the prince and left."

"gone?"

"These masters are so generous. They can just leave when their granddaughter is this grown up."

Li Mu complained in his heart, but said:

"Since you have something to do, I won't force you to stay. As for the rooms, there are plenty of empty rooms in this house. Madam, you can stay wherever you like."

"Is the room in the inner house okay?"

Ge Peining asked.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment and thought,

"If the emperor knew that you were living in my house and in the inner quarters, guess what would happen?"

Then he said awkwardly: "This is inappropriate."

Ge Peining pursed her lips and whispered, "Please forgive me, my lord. If there were fewer men around me on weekdays, I would feel more relaxed."

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately understood, "Yes, it must be hard to suppress it all the time."

So he simply said, "I told you, Madam, you can live wherever you want, even if Madam likes my room..."

"this..."

Ge Peining raised her eyes to look at Li Mu and tried to interrupt him, but then stopped herself from speaking.
