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

"I just used that person. No matter what he asked for, I had no intention of..."

Dongmei's voice became smaller and smaller, as if she also felt that this was not quite right.

Li Mu sighed slightly and asked:

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

"Slave, I colluded with outsiders and got close to the prince. I know that no matter how I explain, the prince will not believe it..."

"I believe it!" Li Mu interrupted Dongmei before she finished speaking.

"Do you know how I know this?"

Dongmei looked at Li Mu in confusion, thought for a moment and replied:

"These things cannot be hidden from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"It was Xia He. She found out about this and asked Xiao Zhao to tell me."

Li Mu glanced at Dongmei unhappily and said indifferently.

"Second sister..."

"You can take all the responsibility on yourself. If something happens in the future, you can also clear Chuntao of all charges, right?"

"Big sister only knows that I'm looking for someone to help, but she doesn't know..."

Hearing this, Dongmei quickly spoke.

Li Mu snorted coldly and frowned:

"Stupid. Do you really think Chuntao knows nothing?"

As he spoke, Li Mu took out an embroidered handkerchief from his arms, on which were densely written small words.

"Chun Tao also took all the responsibility on herself, but she told me not to worry, she would find the masked man and settle this trouble."

"All this morning?"

Dongmei glanced at the embroidered handkerchief and said hesitantly.

Li Mu nodded, Chuntao handed her the embroidered handkerchief and whispered to Xiaozhao privately, it was indeed the case.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qiu Ju behind him suddenly spoke:

"This is such a coincidence, could this be a deliberate act... Ouch, Your Highness!"

Li Mu flicked Qiu Ju's head with his backhand and said unhappily:

"Really? Should I lock you up and torture you?"

"Then, can Your Highness interrogate Qiu Ju in person?"

Qiuju was not afraid but happy, and asked in a delicate voice.

The corner of Li Mu's eyes twitched, as if he had accidentally turned on something terrible.

"What Third Sister said is not without reason. Your Highness is not afraid..."

Dongmei thought for a long time and then responded.

Li Mu looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Li Mu laughing, Dongmei frowned and reminded him:

"Your Highness! How can you trust others so easily?"

"What nonsense! I believe in you."

Li Mu rolled his eyes at Dongmei and spoke shamelessly.

If Li Mu hadn't been able to tell the lies, given his temper, he would have at least...

However, since Li Mu can tell the difference, it doesn't prevent him from showing off his goodwill at this time.

"Your Highness..."

As expected, after hearing Li Mu's overbearing confession, Qiu Ju called out in a coquettish voice.

The look he gave Li Mu was slightly blurred, with a faint light flowing like drawing threads.

Dongmei blinked and her body trembled violently.

When she saw her own white self, she seemed to react only then. The blush instantly spread from her neck to her ears. She wrapped her arms tightly around her chest, lowered her head, and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Okay, put on your clothes."

Seeing this, Li Mu gave the order unconsciously.

Not much was said about the masked man, believing that Dongmei knew what to do.

Li Mu even sneered at the masked man's behavior of giving it away for free.

Without any constraints, it all depends on Dongmei's conscience?

It's funny just thinking about it.

This is how it is, pick it up high and put it down gently.

Originally, Li Mu had no intention of punishing Dongmei. She was the one who took the initiative to offer this benefit.

What's more, Li Mu really had no grudges in his heart.

Li Mu knew exactly how the little girls treated him.

Although the development of things was beyond expectations, the ending was also good.

What Li Mu originally cared about most was Dongmei's little brain that could keenly see into people's hearts, but he didn't expect that he would get an unexpected reward.

They are obviously sisters, but who would have thought that Dongmei was so dishonest and would do such a thing.

"It's time to go check on Zou Pu. He gave me such a big gift, but I haven't had time to thank him yet."

Li Mu was thinking that maybe he could find out the person behind the trouble from Zou Pu.

If it really doesn't work, we can only wait for the masked man to come.

At this time, Qiu Ju picked up two aprons, one white and one pink, from the tray on the table, waved them in front of Li Mu's eyes, and said with a smile:

"If Your Highness is not angry anymore, Qiu Ju has a gift for Your Highness."

"This belongs to the pair of barbarian sisters..."

Li Mu's mouth twitched, and he glared at Qiu Ju, saying viciously:

"You should only be at the third level. It's time to practice martial arts."

Having said that, he immediately stood up and picked up Qiuju.

Qiu Ju was startled, then reacted instantly. She quickly threw her bellyband aside, leaned on Li Mu's shoulder and said delicately:

"Then, then Your Highness must teach Qiu Ju well and not allow...eh? Your Highness?"

He wrapped his arms around Li Mu's neck, but found nothing.

"This is?"

Li Mu frowned and picked up the bellyband on the table. He found that the inside of the bellyband was embroidered with densely packed small characters.

"This should be a piece of barbarian writing. I found it when I was bathing the two young ladies. Your Highness, please smell it. Does it smell good?"

Qiuju's originally droopy face suddenly regained its spirits and she said slyly.

Li Mu looked at these small characters that he didn't recognize at all, and suddenly he felt dizzy, and that familiar feeling came over him again.

"Oh my god! Here we go again!"

The bamboo slip pattern on the palm of his hand flickered slightly, and then the true energy in his qi sea poured back like a tide and poured into the palm of his hand.

Li Mu hurriedly used the magic formula he learned from Die Wu, but it was in vain.

After a moment, the true Qi in the Qi sea was drained away again by Xun Meng.

"What's wrong with this thing? I clearly gave it some energy last night..."

Li Mu was angry and planned to recharge first.

There is really no real energy, no sense of security at all.

He immediately put down the bellyband in his hand.

Just then, his peripheral vision caught sight of the words on the bellyband. He was stunned and squinted his eyes to read them carefully again.

"I heard that Prime Minister Lu is proficient in the language of foreigners. Your Highness, why don't you prepare some small gifts and go see the future Crown Prince's Consort?"

Qiu Ju covered her mouth and laughed secretly. When she saw Li Mu looking at her, she was startled and said quickly,

"The text has been copied. Your Highness only needs to shuffle the order..."

"Go get some pen and ink."

Li Mu interrupted Qiu Ju before she could finish.

"what?"

"Ha what ha, go!"

Li Mu glanced at Qiu Ju unhappily and began to give orders.

He looked at the small words on the bellyband, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"No wonder they are twins, interesting..."

What was recorded on the bellyband was a method called "Jie", which was specially practiced by twins.

The strength of two people can be combined to generate greater power, achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Because Li Mu's power was too overwhelming last night, no one could see anyone performing this method.

Or maybe several people performed it and Li Mu didn't realize it?

But no matter what, Li Mu has a strong interest in this combination of skills.

Not long after, Dongmei recorded this method according to Li Mu's narration.

"Your Highness, is this a combined attack technique?"

Qiu Ju looked at the contents on the bamboo slips and asked curiously,

"Only twins can practice, so doesn't that mean we..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Before Qiu Ju could finish her words, Li Mu directly denied it.

"Then Your Highness?"

"This item is not from a legitimate source. Your Highness must verify its authenticity before making a decision."

At this time, Dongmei on the side spoke up and answered for Li Mu.

"Is this not a legitimate place?" Qiu Ju was startled, then her eyes fell on the bellyband on the table, and she said in surprise,

"This... this is on the bellyband..."

"Hmm... the prince is truly knowledgeable."

Dongmei hummed softly and whispered flattery.

Then, Qiu Ju seemed to have thought of something, and burst out laughing, and said softly:

"Your Highness is really mean. He clearly understood what they said, but he still teased the girl last night."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly closed his eyes, recalling what the barbarian said last night, then suddenly opened his eyes, a look of joy appeared on his face,

"I really understand!"

Li Mu lowered his head and looked at his palm, his eyes flickering with divine light. After a moment, he instructed Qiu Ju:

"We'll talk about the technique later. Now go and take Yae to the room closest to the woodshed. I want to see her later."

Then he turned to look at Dongmei, a sly smile appeared on his lips, and he said:

"Take Ya Ke to see the Ninth Master. He has not seen the two of them for a night, and I think he must have missed her very much."

Dongmei looked at Li Mu's expression, and her eyes lit up immediately. She nodded vigorously and said, "I'll go right away!"
