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

Winter nights are always longer than other nights.

It was still dark when someone knocked on Li Mu's door.

Feeling very sleepy, Li Mu slowly walked towards the door, cursing:

"You disturbed my sweet sleep so early in the morning. If nothing happens later, I will kill...Sister Ning'er!"

However, as soon as he opened the door, the charming face in front of him instantly swept away Li Mu's sleepiness.

When Ge Peining saw Li Mu's upper body naked, her cheeks turned slightly red, her eyes darkened, and her tone was filled with a hint of anger:

"Something was not made clear last night. Does your sick girl really want to be treated voluntarily?"

As she spoke, Ge Peining walked into the room on her own, turned her back to Li Mu, and sat down at the table.

"nature."

Thinking that Lu Jianjia comes to watch this elegant gathering in the snow and wind every year, she naturally hopes to be like ordinary people.

So Li Mu answered without hesitation.

"In that case, I will take a look for that girl as a friend."

"Ok?"

Li Mu was puzzled and didn't understand why Ge Peining emphasized this matter.

"So that I would owe her a favor?"

At this time, Ge Peining said:

"In principle, I cannot diagnose illnesses for others."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and quickly added:

"You are an exception, specially approved by the doctor."

Can’t diagnose people’s illnesses?

Li Mu was stunned and suddenly thought of what Xia He said to him in the carriage that day.

'Poisoned her husband's entire family.'

"Oh my god, this can't be true."

However, the next moment, Li Mu shook his head.

Although Ge Peining is good at using poisons, his character and medical ethics are impeccable.

Li Mu naturally would not believe these rumors, and said:

"Sister Ning'er is naturally my friend."

Ge Peining nodded slightly, stood up immediately, turned to look at Li Mu:

"In that case, let's go...set off..."

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes yet?"

He turned around quickly, his tone containing a hint of shame and anger.

"what?"

Li Mu looked down at himself, then looked out the window.

The moon is bright in the sky, and the stars are sparse.

It’s obviously not yet the Mao hour.

"So early?"

"Aren't you going to fight on stage today? Let's go to the girl's residence first."

Ge Peining explained, but her tone was obviously not as easy-going as before.

"this…"

Li Mu looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while and said:

"I have only known Miss Caiwei for a few days, so I don't know where she is."

"Caiwei, right? Hurry up and get dressed and wait for me downstairs."

Ge Peining threw down a few words and quickly walked out of Li Mu's room.

...

Three quarters of a hour.

The sun had already risen from the horizon, and the sunlight shone on Li Mu's furrowed brows.

"Boy, have you seen a ghost these days?"

Ge Peining looked at Li Mu with a serious expression.

At this time, the two of them were standing on the roof of the hall where Li Mu came every day in the past few days.

"Impossible, normally it should have arrived by this time."

Li Mu glanced at Ge Peining unhappily: "It's broad daylight, where did this ghost come from?"

"Is that girl really called Caiwei? What's her last name? You must have been deceived."

Ge Peining chuckled. Although she was teasing, her eyes never left Li Mu from beginning to end.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly responded, "Oh, that's right, a fake name, Caiwei is a fake name."

After all, neither of them was stupid. From the beginning, they both knew that each of them was using a pseudonym, but they just tacitly kept it to themselves.

"Caiwei should be her alias."

Li Mu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"So you don't know his real name?"

"..."

"What does he look like? What are his characteristics?"

Li Mu didn't expect Ge Peining to be so concerned about this matter all of a sudden, and her tone sounded even more anxious than his.

But Li Mu still shook his head and thought to himself,

"Features? Her hands are smooth and tender, her waist is soft and slender, and her lips..."

Li Mu was thinking in his heart, but Ge Peining suddenly came forward, grabbed Li Mu's arm and took Li Mu's pulse.

"Sister Ning'er?"

"Concentrate and be calm, don't talk!"

"..."

After a long time, Ge Peining exhaled deeply, and her two willow-shaped eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.

"Qing Yi, are you really okay?"

Li Mu saw that Ge Peining looked solemn and spoke in a serious tone. After a little thought, he came up with a guess. He reached out and patted the back of Ge Peining's hand and said:

"Sister Ning'er, this is really not my illusion."

Ge Peining didn't notice Li Mu's little move at all, and looked at Li Mu with worried eyes:

"How do you prove it?"

At this time, a clear childish voice came from under the eaves: "Second brother!"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He took Ge Peining's hand and jumped off the roof, pointing at Li Wu and said:

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu has met Cai Wei."

Li Wu saw the two holding hands intimately, and immediately turned around, covering his ears and shouting:

"I didn't see it, I don't know anything!"

So, not surprisingly, he was hit on the head twice by Li Mu.

...

After getting Li Wu's confirmation, Ge Peining finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then noticed that his arm was still held by Li Mu. He was about to pull it back, but paused.

He stretched out his other hand and pinched the soft flesh on Li Mu's waist.

"Sister Ning'er?"

Li Mu felt pain and turned to look at Ge Peining in confusion, meeting her charming yet cold eyes.

Following Ge Peining's gaze, he moved slightly downwards...

"Sister Ning'er, I remembered something else. Caiwei mentioned that she was acquainted with the sixth young lady of the Liu family. You will know the answer if you ask her."

Li Mu withdrew his hand and quickly changed the subject.

At this time, Li Wu whispered a reminder:

"Brother, the fight over there is about to begin. I have already drawn the cards for you."

Then he took out a small mahogany tablet from his bosom and waved it in front of him.

"The second brother will be the first to go on stage, and his opponent is Miss Liu."

Li Mu was stunned, looked around, and asked:

"The fight isn't here?"

"Of course, the duel will be at the Imperial Archery Range. Come with me, brother."

...

Royal shooting range.

Although it is called Imperial Archery, the current Imperial Archery Range has nothing to do with Imperial Horseback Archery.

It looks more like a martial arts arena.

The venue is 100 meters square, and there are many seats similar to stands around it.

The Imperial Archery Range is unusually lively today.

Compared to the previous few days, it was just an exchange meeting for Confucian students.

Today, a large number of merchants and people from Qiuzhou City also poured into the venue.

Obviously, compared to writing poetry.

People are still more interested in this simplest and most direct kind of fist and foot fight.

After all, part of the purpose of the Confucian Fengxue Gathering is to bring fame to young disciples.

Of course I won't stop people from watching.

It’s just that before, everyone was busy making a living.

I don't have time to watch a group of men bickering.

...

"Zhu Ting, I will ask Ming Lan to show mercy later."

In the stands, in the area reserved for Confucianists.

An old woman with gray hair slowly walked up to Mu Zhen, followed by a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Mu Zhen turned around and looked at the person who came.

It was the wife of the Grand Marshal, the great scholar Rujun.

He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Madam, for running the school."

"I hope you don't hate me..."

The wife of the general murmured softly, then pulled the woman behind her and said in a slightly angry tone:

"Ming Lan, you were wrong in the last incident, why don't you apologize to the great scholar?"

Liu Minglan pursed his lips, obviously looking unwilling, and bowed slightly to Mu Zhen, then ran towards the ring, muttering softly:

"It was the teacher who said he was heartless and fickle!"
