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

Seeing this, Li Mu realized that he had said something wrong again, and quickly added:

"I mean, even if the lady likes my room, I will move out immediately to make room for her."

Hearing this, Ge Peining burst out laughing and said:

"Your Highness, you don't have to call me Madam all the time. Grandfather said that I am your junior. You can call me Xiao Ning like Grandfather does."

"Xiao Ning?"

"Ah."

Li Mu's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's put it this way. I'll call Madam Sister Ning, or Little Sister Ning."

Ge Peining covered her mouth and chuckled, blinking her peach blossom eyes: "It does sound much better, then can I call you, my young master, Brother Qingyi?"

"Here I go, again!"

Li Mu groaned inwardly and shook his head repeatedly.

Hearing this name makes my bones numb.

He saw that there was only himself and this beautiful and graceful woman in the hall.

For some reason, Li Mu felt a little unnatural in his heart.

Li Mu was stunned for a long while when he suddenly had this emotion.

He secretly thought that he was an experienced womanizer after all, so how could he be like a novice who had never seen a woman before?

After a little thought, Li Mu found a good way out for himself.

After all, Ge Peining was already a married woman, and Li Mu swore to the lamp that he would never like this.

Besides, this woman had an ambiguous relationship with Emperor Hongwen, and Li Mu had originally intended to keep his distance from her.

But now he suddenly has to live with him day and night. Ge Peining had previously used charm to test Li Mu.

It is natural that a sudden change would be a little uncomfortable.

Li Mu nodded secretly, feeling that his analysis made sense.

After thinking this through, Li Mu's expression became more natural.

Then he turned around and looked outside the hall, and ordered: "Dongmei, take Sister Ning to the inner house to choose a courtyard."

After saying that, Dongmei responded timidly, then she poked half of her head out from behind the door and took a peek into the hall.

Then he carefully ran to Li Mu.

"Why is it like being a thief?"

Li Mu found Dongmei's behavior somewhat funny and asked.

"Sir, they seem to be possessed by demons."

Hearing Dongmei's words, Li Mu looked in the direction of her little finger.

Sure enough, there were a few dazed servants standing in the courtyard outside the main hall. The looks in their eyes showed obsession, covetousness, and many other incomprehensible meanings.

Li Mu then remembered that when he was "detoxifying" before, Dongmei had clearly driven away all the servants outside the hall.

What’s going on with these people?

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I was just discussing serious matters with a distinguished guest, and I dared not disturb you."

It was rare for Dongmei to speak such a long speech in one breath, but she looked obviously nervous.

Just as Li Mu was about to go forward to check, Ge Peining walked up to Li Mu and yelled at the servant outside the door:

"presumptuous!"

When several servants heard this sweet cry, their bodies trembled noticeably.

Then, as if he had just come to his senses, all the emotions in his eyes turned into fear. He knelt on the ground with a few thumps, wailing:

"Prince, spare my life!"

Li Mu ignored the servant who was begging for mercy, and looked at Ge Peining with curiosity.

"This woman's configuration, she knows magic, and is good at using poison, is she really a doctor?"

Thinking of this, Li Mu became more and more curious about Ge Peining poisoning her husband's entire family.

But I don’t know how to ask.

Asking such a question cannot be explained by low EQ, it is simply a grudge against someone and humiliating them in person.

He waved his hand and sent a few servants away. It was not their fault in the first place, so Li Mu naturally would not pursue it too much.

Just warn them not to mention this to anyone.

"Prince, my second sister has already gone to Ruoshui Hall to invite a sorcerer."

Seeing the servants leave, Dongmei clenched and unclenched her hands in her sleeves, and then clenched them again, struggling to speak.

"Well done, that's what you should do. Pay more silver later so that they don't make a wasted trip."

Li Mu smiled and gave Dongmei an encouraging look.

He probably knew why Dongmei was so nervous.

If anyone in the mansion falls ill, go directly to Ruoshui Hall to ask for help from a sorcerer.

He was the one who gave the order. Dongmei was probably afraid that he was just speaking casually on impulse.

After all, at this time, if a servant was sick, it would be a great favor for the master to give him leave to go to the clinic for treatment.

Leaving them alone, or even squeezing out their last bit of value, is the fate of ordinary slaves.

The Xing Dynasty was much more open-minded towards all classes than the ancient dynasties that Li Mu knew about.

But slaves were the exception. After all, slaves had signed agreements to sell themselves and were the private property of their masters.

The master has the power of life and death over his slaves.

Hearing Li Mu's words, Dongmei's eyes flashed with light, and for the first time she took the initiative to look at Li Mu.

The worry on his face disappeared, replaced by a faint smile.

Li Mu was a little surprised when he saw the two sweet dimples on the corners of the little girl's mouth, but he didn't say much.

After exchanging a few casual words with Ge Peining, he let her follow Dongmei to the inner courtyard.

Looking at the backs of the two girls leaving, Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Thinking back on today's transaction, Li Mu felt that he did not suffer any loss, or even got the upper hand.

His trust in Mu Zhen made him not think too much about whether there was something fishy going on.

He could also understand Mu Zhen's intention of leaving early.

Asking Mr. Ge to diagnose him was a favor to Mu Zhen.

However, improving the body's ability to avoid poison and picking the twin flowers is the job of Li Mu and Ge Lao.

Mu Zhen made an excuse to leave early because he didn't want his friendship with Ge Lao to interfere with Li Mu's judgment.

Li Mu was somewhat moved by this, and he respected this teacher even more.

According to the calculation, we should set out for the south within two days.

Before that, we have to go to Mo City to pick up Li Wu.

Thinking of Li Wu, Li Mu couldn't help but think of Li Ling'er who was far away in Yanshan City.

He could naturally see that Li Linger's attitude towards the matter between him and Chuyi was not friendly.

"I wonder where they are going. With the princess accompanying them, they should go to the Prince of Yan's Mansion when they pass by Yanshan City."

"I hope they won't fight."

...

...

...

At the same time, Yanshan City.

In front of the West City Gate, the huge convoy was a hundred meters long.

However, people passing by just glanced at it without much surprise in their eyes, and it was obvious that they were used to it.

In the city, the main hall of Prince Yan’s mansion.

Zhao Chuyi held a snow-white hand in each of her hands, and her eyes were red.

"I don't want to leave you either, but Master said something happened in the capital and we can't delay any longer."

"What could have happened in the capital? Auntie doesn't tell you clearly, so take care of yourself on the way."

Li Linger squeezed Zhao Chuyi's hand vigorously, her eyes were also red, and there were even tears in them.

"It's okay, it won't be long before we meet again."

Xu Youzhi's expression was obviously better than the other two. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but it was not difficult to hear the reluctance in her words.

Zhao Chuxi, who was sitting aside and drinking tea alone, looked at the scene of the deep sisterly love between the three and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He glanced at Xu Youzhi intentionally or unintentionally, and the resentment in his eyes flashed away.

"Let's go, Chuyi. We have been delayed for a long time."

Li Linger glared fiercely at Zhao Chuxi who suddenly spoke, with no disdain in her eyes.

"Okay, Master is waiting for me."

Zhao Chuyi glanced at the two girls reluctantly, then her face turned red, she moved forward slightly, got in front of the two of them and said,

"Say goodbye to my aunt for me."

At this time, outside the hall, Princess Yan strode over with an ugly look on her face:

"Let's go. Don't you want to see Mu'er? He is in the capital right now."

Hearing this, Li Linger also nodded and said:

"Alright, alright, let's go. The journey from the capital to Qiuzhou takes less than half a month. My second brother won't leave so early. You will definitely be able to see her when you go there."
