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

The next morning.

Li Mu slowly opened his eyes, and thought of Yin Huanping's embarrassed look when she fled last night, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Su Yuwei, who was sleeping beside her, had her eyelids trembling. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she heard Xiao Zhao's soft, tender voice:

"What makes you so happy, sir?"

"Of course I'm happy to see Xiao Zhao as soon as I open my eyes."

Li Mu turned over and sat up, holding Xiao Zhao's face and started biting it.

But then she heard a scream and the sound of a basin of water being overturned from behind Xiao Zhao.

Li Mu was stunned and looked sideways.

Chuntao covered her eyes with a blushing face. She seemed to have noticed Li Mu's gaze. Her body trembled slightly and she was about to kneel down subconsciously.

Xia He, who was also looking down and blushing, quickly pulled her back and whispered, “I’m so happy!

"Sister, have you forgotten what the prince told you..."

"Sir, Xiao Zhao will help you get dressed."

Hearing this, Li Mu looked down at himself and smiled awkwardly:

"Sorry, sorry, Qiu Ju was the one who came before..."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Qiu Ju is here."

At this time, Qiuju led Dongmei, each holding a tray in their hands, and trotted into the house.

Seeing the scene in the room, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly put down the tray in his hand and knelt in front of Li Mu.

"My elder sister must have been frightened by His Highness's divine power. I...I will apologize to His Highness on behalf of my elder sister..."

"Hiss..." Li Mu frowned, stretched out his hand to pinch Qiuju's collar, and lifted her up, saying unhappily,

"You are getting bolder and bolder, girl."

Qiu Ju smacked her lips, obviously still unsatisfied, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, and called out in dissatisfaction:

"Your Highness~"

"Don't give me that crap. I didn't ask you to look after that foreign woman. What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Qiu Ju seemed to remember something and quickly pointed to the tray on the table and said:

"I have asked the two young ladies to bathe and change their clothes. They are now waiting for Your Highness. These are the gifts from the two young ladies to Your Highness."

Li Mu felt amused. What gift? These were obviously personal belongings searched from those two people.

But he really likes Qiu Ju, the little girl who can play a duet with him, more and more.

He raised his hand and tapped Qiuju's upturned nose:

"You are such a smart guy. If you can handle this matter well, you will definitely benefit from it."

After a while, with the help of Xiao Zhao and Qiu Ju, Li Mu put on his clothes in no time.

Chuntao and the other two standing by didn't know whether to go forward or stand there waiting. Their eyes wandered to the couch, and they were startled. They quickly spoke:

"Slave, the servants will help Miss Yuwei wash up."

After hearing this, Su Yuwei, who was trying hard to pretend to be asleep, could no longer pretend.

He shrank his neck and buried his head in the quilt.

"No, no, I need to...sleep a little longer."

Su Yuwei was woken up from her sleep by her maid in the late night last night.

The original words were, "His Royal Highness has finished his 'business' and called Miss Su to serve him."

Of course Li Mu couldn't say such a thing. He knew without guessing that it was Yin Huanping's work.

But Li Mu was naturally happy to see it happen, so he would never expose it.

"Don't disturb Yuwei. She must not have gotten enough rest last night."

Li Mu waved his hand, thinking about how Su Yuwei was woken up in the middle of the night last night, and then...

I couldn't bear to disturb you.

When the little girls in the room heard this, they all blushed and lowered their heads.

Only Qiuju and Xiaozhao seemed to have some different colors in their eyes.

...

Afterwards, Li Mu brought Qiuju and Dongmei to the courtyard.

Qiu Ju introduced everything in the nursery class to Li Mu in detail.

Li Mu had no interest in this.

They are nothing more than some common things like short weapons and poisons.

What made Li Mu laugh was that Qiu Ju not only searched all of Yayin Yake's personal belongings.

Even underwear, jewelry and hairpins were not spared and were all sent to Li Mu.

"Oh, there are two more bottles of medicine. They were borrowed by the medical disciple who was invited to identify the medicine early in the morning."

Qiu Ju lowered her head slightly and spoke in a much softer voice.

"Your Highness had not yet woken up, so I took the initiative..."

Seeing this, Li Mu flicked Qiu Ju's forehead in annoyance and scolded with a smile:

"Are you waiting for me to praise you?"

Qiu Ju felt a pain on her forehead and quickly raised her hand to cover it. She pouted slightly and then grinned at Li Mu:

"Will Your Highness praise me?"

"No!" Li Mu rolled his eyes at Qiu Ju, thought for a moment and asked,

"By the way, where's Sister Ning'er? Didn't she go back to the mansion?"

"Madam Wang came here before and told us that the young master would be back in a few days and asked us not to worry."

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes twitched. It was the first time he heard this name. He frowned and looked at Qiu Ju, wondering:

"Mrs. Wang?"

Qiuju was stunned, not knowing what she had said wrong.

At this time, Dongmei, who had been standing behind her without saying a word, poked her with her finger and reminded her in a low voice:

"Miss Ge...Miss Ge!"

Qiuju looked at Dongmei in confusion, then her expression froze, and she quickly changed her words:

"Ge, Miss Ge originally lived in the mansion. The day before yesterday, the Ninth Young Master came to the mansion to cause trouble. Miss Ge taught those two foreigners a lesson and took the fight on behalf of His Highness."

"It's just that yesterday morning, a disciple of the medical family came to the mansion to look for Miss Ge, saying that a strange disease that had never been seen before appeared in the outer city. Miss Ge then returned to the medical family."

While talking, Qiu Ju kept stealing glances at Li Mu out of the corner of her eyes, observing Li Mu's expression.

Li Mu nodded, and when he thought of the medical disciple who had taken away the medicine bottle before, he had an idea in his mind.

This strange disease is obviously related to Song Chi.

Li Mu was not too worried about this. With Ge Peining's medical skills, the methods of the Rongyi people were not enough.

He looked up at Qiu Ju, who seemed a little embarrassed, frowned and asked:

"Am I that scary?"

Hearing this, Qiuju pursed her lips, as if she was aware of her previous reaction, and she hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Li Mu sighed slightly and waved his hand:

"Go and do your own thing."

"Your Highness, your servant..."

Seeing Li Mu's expression change, Qiu Ju's face turned slightly pale. She wanted to explain, but didn't know how to start.

At this time, Dongmei behind him suddenly said:

"Prince, Third Sister doesn't think that you are scary, but she is afraid that you will be unhappy because of her."

Li Mu raised his eyes and looked at Dongmei with some surprise.

"Third sister is thinking about the prince all the time. If the prince is not happy, third sister will be worried. It's not because... because I don't trust the prince."

Hearing this, Li Mu stared at Dongmei for a long time, then he exhaled lightly, tilted his head to look at Qiuju, thought for a moment, and said:

"Sitting for a long time, my shoulders are a little sore..."

Hearing this, Qiuju's tearful eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly ran behind Li Mu and began to knead him gently.

"Your servant, I have just learned some new techniques. Your Highness, please try them and see if you are satisfied."

There was a tearful tone in Qiuju's voice, but one could also hear a lot of smiles in it.

"I'm sorry." Li Mu thought about it and finally spoke.

"I dare not!" Qiu Ju's hands froze when she heard Li Mu's words, and she said quickly.

Li Mu shook his head and turned to look at Qiu Ju with a smile in his eyes:

"I dare not. What about Qiuju?"

Qiu Ju was stunned, and as their eyes met, she seemed to have thought of something. Her two small hands slowly moved up and held Li Mu's chin.

Then she hummed softly, leaned over and kissed Li Mu.

After a long time, Qiuju suddenly stood up and took a few deep breaths.

When he was almost out of breath, he puffed up his little face and said fiercely:

"Your Highness is not allowed to apologize to Qiu Ju, ever!"

Li Mu smiled and patted Qiuju's head.

Then he stood up and slowly walked to Dongmei, his gentle eyes gradually turned sharp:

"Is it worth it to be exposed because of this?"
