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

Li Mu picked up a piece of cake in front of him and put it into his mouth.

"Is the hunger not as strong as before because of the time difference?"

When Li Mu opened his eyes just now, he took a quick glance and saw the pink bellyband under Xiao Zhao's shoulders. It was the same one that he saw in his mind that Xiao Zhao wore when she slept at night.

From this, we can guess that the things that happen in the picture after a while and those that happen a day later or longer have different effects on the body.

"Looks like I have to steal the jade and the fragrance tonight to prove my guess."

Li Mu thought this way purely to confirm whether his guess was correct, and he definitely did not want to covet the girl's body.

While thinking, Li Mu ate a few pieces of cake and prepared to find Xiao Zhao to do a few more experiments.

"Xiao Zhao?"

Li Mu looked up and saw Xiao Zhao, who looked distraught. She was sitting in front of her couch, doing needlework in her hands for a long time without moving.

"what!"

Xiao Zhao seemed to have just come to his senses, and exclaimed in an urgent tone:

"Young Master, call Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao is here."

When Li Mu saw Xiao Zhao's absent-minded expression, he realized that his previous actions must have scared the little girl, making her think that he was up to something bad.

After thinking all this through, Li Mu suddenly felt regretful and secretly cursed himself for being a scumbag.

When Li Mu was first brought into the palace, he was angry as he was placed under house arrest for no apparent reason, so he did not take Xiao Zhao, who was suspected of monitoring him, seriously.

Sometimes, you take advantage of others intentionally or unintentionally, but there is also a part of revenge in it.

As they spent the past two days together, Li Mu found himself caring more and more about this shy girl.

He had just subconsciously teased Xiao Zhao, and after seeing Xiao Zhao's expression, Li Mu, the old sea king, immediately wanted to go ashore.

"Sir?"

Xiao Zhao's soft voice interrupted Li Mu's thoughts.

Li Mu came back to his senses and stared at Xiao Zhao for a long time. Then he sighed deeply and cursed himself for being hypocritical.

"Who wouldn't love such a pitiful girl?"

"come here."

Li Mu pointed to the chair beside him and motioned Xiao Zhao to come over.

Xiao Zhao did not hesitate, she walked towards Li Mu with lotus steps, then sat down, her chin slightly lowered, tears in her eyes.

Li Mu looked at the beauty who was so close to him, and saw a button that had not been fastened yet with his peripheral vision. He gently raised his hand to fasten it for the girl.

Feeling Li Mu's movements, Xiao Zhao's body trembled slightly, but he did not dodge and let Li Mu do what he wanted.

During this time, the back of Li Mu's hand accidentally touched Xiao Zhao's neck, causing the already nervous Xiao Zhao to almost suffocate.

As Li Mu's hand left, Xiao Zhao breathed heavily, and her heart seemed to jump out of her neck.

"I promise, I will treat Xiao Zhao well in the future."

Li Mu's gaze stayed on the buttons under Xiao Zhao's neck. He looked at his masterpiece and spoke gently.

But I thought in my heart that this was a bit unnecessary since I would have to untie it later anyway.

"what?"

Hearing Li Mu's words, Xiao Zhao exclaimed, looked up at Li Mu, and just met Li Mu's gaze.

He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Mu's gaze.

She uttered a mosquito-like sound, then lowered her head with a red face.

Li Mu felt that Xiao Zhao's mood had improved, and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself:

"I still have a lot of sweet things to say, should I say them or not?"

Then he shook his head secretly, thinking that this girl was too sensitive. If this backfired, my reputation would be ruined.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke:

"It's been a while since Xiao Zhao left the palace. How about taking Xiao Zhao out for a walk tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao became interested and looked up at Li Mu excitedly.

"Sir, you haven't been to Yanshan City yet, right? Where do you want to go?"

Li Mu looked at the excited Xiao Zhao and knew that the little girl was probably feeling suffocated in this palace.

He stood up and rubbed Xiao Zhao's hair with his hands.

"Go to sleep, you'll know tomorrow."

Under Xiao Zhao's resentful eyes and Li Mu's hearty laughter, the two went to bed.

Everyone sleeps in their own bed.

the next day,

Li Mu practiced martial arts and read books as usual.

Seeing the sun rising above his head, he called Xiao Zhao and went to talk to Li Ling'er about the return of the mansion.

In the main hall of the palace.

"No, I can't guarantee your safety outside the palace."

Li Linger acted as if there was no room for negotiation, stared at Li Mu with emotion, and spoke calmly.

"We went out with great fanfare. If they dared to take action, it would be a coincidence."

It's not that Li Mu didn't care, but he wanted to confirm how much the picture in his mind deviated from reality. Now that he understood the situation, he was sure that going out in a big way would be safe, at least in the city. Li Ling'er, on the contrary, was worried and confused.

Li Ling'er was about to open her mouth to refute, but Li Mu said bitterly:

"It's only right to be a thief for a thousand days, but it's not right to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. This little risk is worth taking."

Hearing this, Li Linger thought for a long time, but still felt something was wrong, so she shook her head.

Seeing this, Li Mu took two steps forward, put his mouth close to Li Linger's ear and whispered a few words.

Li Linger felt the man's hot breath and her ears felt itchy. She was about to dodge, but after hearing "Lin family", she became interested again and turned to look at Li Mu.

"you sure?"

Li Mu was not sure at all, he just found an excuse related to the Lin family. If the Lin family committed a crime in the street, they would be right in the line of fire.

"It's better to try than not to try. We won't lose anything."

After a little consideration, Li Ling'er did not hesitate and shouted to the outside of the door, informing the public that she and her second brother were leaving the house.

Shortly after,

Yanshan City, on the main road of East Market.

Dozens of guards surrounded the carriage of Prince Yan's palace as it drove along the road.

People and businesses on the street were talking about it.

"That is the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion. The person sitting inside is the Princess, right?"

"I heard that Her Highness the Princess is extremely beautiful, and she is not inferior to Miss Luo You from Lingyin Pavilion."

"Stop bragging, you're talking as if you've seen it before."

Two men dressed as warriors on the side of the road stopped to look at the palace's carriage, chatting with each other.

"Keep your voices down, you two. You are courting death. Aren't you afraid of being heard by the people in Prince Yan's Mansion?"

At this time, the vendor behind him heard the two men's discussion and hurriedly shouted to drive them away, fearing that he would be implicated.

Such scenes often occur on both sides of the road, and the content of the conversation is mostly about the third young lady of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Some said she was beautiful, some said she was good at martial arts, and had led soldiers on the battlefield, and the more they said, the more mysterious it became.

In the carriage, Li Mu leaned against the window and looked through the gap at the local customs and people along the way.

"As expected, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Just looking at what is written on the bamboo slips, I thought this world might be similar to the Qin Dynasty before I traveled through time. Now, just looking at Yanshan City, I'm afraid it's not much different from the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

Li Mu vaguely heard some people talking about Li Ling'er on the street. He squinted his eyes and listened carefully. Then he looked at Li Ling'er who was expressionless and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect you to be so popular."

Li Linger looked at Li Mu with an unfriendly face, wondering why he suddenly said such a thing without any reason.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just praising you."

When Li Mu saw the look Li Ling'er was giving him, he thought that she was afraid of hearing the comments about her figure, so he should avoid provoking her.

"Master, Second Miss, we have arrived."

At this time, Xiao Zhao's clear voice came from outside the car curtain.

Hearing this, Li Mu jumped off the carriage before Li Ling'er without waiting for it to stop.

In front of him was a three-story restaurant. Li Mu saw the restaurant's sign clearly and was slightly stunned. He turned back to look at the carriage in confusion and asked:

"Why are we here at the Listening Pavilion?"

At this time, Li Ling'er slowly poked half of her head out from behind the curtain, pretending to be unfathomable.
