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

After hearing the maid's words, Li Mu was stunned at first.

"Li Ling'er is back. I haven't seen her for so many days. I miss her a little bit."

Then he slapped himself hard.

"Li Mu, Li Mu, you are getting cocky. You are the one who wants to elope with Xiao Zhao. Li Ling'er is a hot potato."

"Second son?"

The maid who came to deliver the message saw that Li Mu didn't say anything, and felt a little confused, so she spoke to test him.

"It's okay, lead the way."

Li Mu coughed dryly and went to the front hall with the maid, feeling a little nervous.

After returning from Lingyin Pavilion that day, Li Mu learned from Li Wu that Lingyin Pavilion was a brothel and that Miss Luo You was the new courtesan.

At first Li Mu was a little confused. Li Ling'er had clearly said that she used to go there often with her elder brother. Could it be that Li Ling'er also liked women?

After being looked at strangely by Li Wu, Li Mu realized that brothels and whorehouses in this world are two different things.

Brothels are more like entertainment venues in the previous life, of course, the formal ones. The girls and courtesans inside only sell their skills but not their bodies, and the customers go there to drink and listen to music, at least that's what it looks like on the surface.

As for whether there are any other transactions in private, it is unknown.

"Bah, it's disrespectful to bring up a deal when two people are in love with each other."

Li Mu silently saved his dignity in his heart.

Brothel, it means just what it says literally, those who understand will understand.

After listening to the popular science, Li Mu gave Li Wu a big thumbs up, which made Li Wu imitate Xiao Zhao and run out.

Soon, Li Wu, led by his maid, arrived at the main hall of the palace.

I looked around but didn't see the messenger.

"People from Lingyin Pavilion, I sent them away after delivering the business cards, okay."

As she spoke, Li Linger handed a long wooden sign to Li Mu and turned to leave.

Li Mu glanced at Li Ling'er's slender back, wondering if this girl had grown up again, and then he despised himself in his heart.

"Just now you said to stay away from me, but now you are greedy for my body again."

He looked down at the wooden sign in his hand. Engraved on the front were three large characters: Lingyin Pavilion.

Li Mu turned the business card over in his hand and looked at it.

The name card is finely crafted, with patterns engraved around the edges. It consists of two wooden plates in front and back, with a piece of cloth in the middle.

When the two wooden signs were separated, the small words on the cloth were found to be embroidered with needle and thread.

"Oh, you've been obsessed with me since you saw me once. You're either attracted to my beautiful face or you have other plans."

Li Mu took a quick look at the words on the cloth and felt unhappy in his heart.

The business card was sent by Miss Luo You from Lingyin Pavilion, who expressed her admiration for Li Mu and wanted to invite Li Mu to Lingyin Pavilion for a chat.

On the way back to the courtyard, Li Mu was wondering whether he should go to the appointment.

When I walked to the place where I was last time, I vaguely felt that someone was peeping at me. My nose moved slightly and I could smell the same smell in the air as last time.

Li Mu did not behave in any unusual way like he did last time, and continued to walk casually towards his courtyard.

The eyes slowly closed,

"I want to see who is watching me."

At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in my mind.

In the dark room, two maids were lying on the table, seemingly asleep.

A woman in white was standing in front of the window, with a veil covering her face.

The woman had a graceful figure and eyes as bright and crystal as the stars in the sky. She was looking outside the house through the gap in the window.

The screen disappears.

Li Mu was still walking in the corridor with a slight frown on his face.

"I have definitely never seen someone with this figure, and she's wearing a mask. This is too much."

Li Mu believed that after seeing a woman's figure once, he would not make a mistake even if it was just her back.

After thinking about it, Li Mu was sure that he had never seen the woman in the previous picture.

"This ability to predict the future is not that useful. If I were to use the method written on the bamboo slips to predict good or bad luck, I don't know if it would work."

"Goo."

Li Mu was thinking about it when his stomach growled. He quickened his pace and returned to his courtyard.

Listening Pavilion, in the corner room on the third floor.

"Sir, I have already sent the invitation to Prince Yan's Mansion, but Li Mu may not come to the appointment."

Miss Luo You stood in front of the man in the bamboo hat, her waist slightly bent, her head lowered, and she spoke cautiously.

"If he doesn't come, there's no point in you staying here."

Luo You answered yes timidly, but the hatred in his lowered eyes was hard to conceal.

The next morning.

Li Mu accompanied Xiao Zhao in practicing martial arts in the backyard, but his swordsmanship made no progress at all.

If you fail to fully practice each move, you will not be able to unleash the power of the final sword move.

On the contrary, Xiao Zhao's kung fu became more and more powerful, improving by leaps and bounds. This made Li Mu jealous for a long time, and he even lost his appetite for breakfast.

"Xiao Zhao, go find Ying Yu later and tell her that I'm going to Lingyin Pavilion to keep an appointment later."

At the dinner table, Li Mu looked at Xiao Zhao listlessly.

"Yes, son."

The disappointment on Xiao Zhao's face flashed away and she nodded obediently.

"I always feel that this Luo You is very suspicious, but last night's fortune telling..."

Thinking of this, Li Mu's expression became a little unnatural, and there was a hint of anticipation.

Last night, Li Mu tried to tell fortunes, hoping to find out why Luo You was looking for him. However, he saw himself having sex with a woman on the screen.

This made Li Mu, who considered himself a gentleman, excited.

But then, when he wanted to confirm again whether Luo You had another identity, the picture in his mind went blank. When he reacted, he almost starved to death.

Xiao Zhao was so frightened that her shout alarmed half of the people in the palace. When they learned that Li Mu was hungry, they almost wanted to cut some meat and feed it to Li Mu immediately. Fortunately, they were stopped by the inner courtyard guards who came to check.

After feeding the animals for a while and hearing some sarcasm from Li Ling'er who came over to watch the fun, Li Mu didn't want to continue.

I plan to go and see Luo You in person today to see what he is up to. He is definitely not here to take advantage of her.

A few hours later, at the gate of the palace.

Xiao Zhao watched Li Mu's back as he got into the carriage with a look of resentment on her face, her rosy little mouth pouted slightly.

"Hmph, you stinky boy, a business card has taken your soul away, and you have no appetite for tea or food."

Then he was startled and quickly whispered a few words of apology, secretly cursing himself for thinking such a thing.

She herself didn't even realize that she was no longer afraid of Li Mu as before.

He raised his hand and used his index finger to tap his forehead, imitating Li Mu's behavior. He turned around and ran back to the courtyard, picked up the Golden Axe, and waved it around in the courtyard to vent his anger.

Not long after.

Li Mu stood at the door of Lingyin Pavilion and glanced back at the two burly guards behind him.

"I thought there were no male guards in the palace. All I usually see are beautiful ladies in armor."

"In a moment, you two can just relax down there, drink some tea, listen to some music, and even order some girls. I'll pay for it."

Li Mu thought, after all, he was the one protecting him, so there was no harm in having a harmonious relationship with him. It was not his own money that was being spent anyway.

"Second Prince, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

At this time, a charming voice came to Li Mu's ears, with a hint of anger in the tone.

Follow the sound.

Miss Luo You walked out of the Listening Sound Pavilion with graceful steps and enchanting figure.

A light green silk dress shows off her round and straight body to the fullest, and the fullness of her chest is obvious.

The white and tender shoulders are faintly visible under the green gauze.

Her face was rosy, and it was not known whether it was the color of rouge or her skin itself. Her mouth was slightly open and closed, and on her straight nose, a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water looked at Li Mu lovingly.
