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

Chapter 716: Meeting the Queen.

"No, no, it's all Xiaoyu's willfulness. Master doesn't like these places, right? Let's go back."

Ying Yu must have sobered up a little, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very correct.

Li Mu rubbed her head, then glanced at the servant on the ground and said,

"Okay, take her with you and let's go back home."

When Ying Yu heard this, her body suddenly stiffened. She held Li Mu's wrist tightly with her small hand and said hesitantly,

"Forget it, forget it. Since she doesn't want to, there's no need to force her."

"Oh, it's not up to her." Li Mu simply picked up Ying Yu and let her hang on him. Without waiting for Ying Yu to speak again, he spoke coldly,

"It's not that she doesn't want to, she's just afraid. Maybe she's also a little grateful for your kindness. The Yujing Pavilion has a big background, so I think she's afraid of getting you into trouble."

"Well, that's not necessary. Xiaoyu was just impulsive... Yeah."

Li Mu raised his hand and pressed Ying Yu's lips, his tone was very domineering,

"She doesn't have a choice, but Xiaoyu does. Xiaoyu can help her choose."

As he spoke, Li Mu put his lips close to Ying Yu's earlobe and said kindly,

"I told you, Xiaoyu can do whatever she wants, not to mention being a maid in a brothel, even if it's Yujing Pavilion... or even Guicheng, as long as Xiaoyu asks."

"Son~"

Ying Yu raised her head and looked at Li Mu with complicated eyes.

She knew that the young master had seen through all the little secrets in her heart.

It's ridiculous that she thought she had hidden it well.

She had the chance to take Xiaoyu away at the beginning, but she didn't.

Although she knew that Xiaoyu said those hurtful words because she was afraid of dragging her down, she still stubbornly left alone in anger.

In a nice way, they say that you choose your own path.

She chose to resist, but Xiaoyu chose to compromise.

In fact, she had figured out long ago that Xiaoyu was afraid that escaping with her would implicate her.

But when she and Prince Yan returned to the capital again, the once famous Hongluan courtesan was long gone.

For a moment, Ying Yu cried uncontrollably.

Li Mu patted her back gently and said sorry silently.

If a wound does not heal properly, the final result will only be infection.

It would be better to just tear open the wound and apply medicine again. Although it will be painful, there is a possibility of healing.

Sometimes, Li Mu also felt that he was quite divided. He would feel heartbroken in the last second, and could be so cruel as to stab someone with his own hands in the next second.

Li Mu glanced at the servant kneeling on the ground.

Originally, I didn't plan to bring the people from Yujing Pavilion back, but now I have changed my mind.

Whatever the reason, Ying Yu must have seen the shadow of the little maid she used to be in her.

Then maybe this person could become the cure for Ying Yu's heart disease.

This risk is worth taking! Besides, being an ordinary maid is not a risk at all.

"Son!"

At this moment, Xia He suddenly let out a soft cry, and just as she was about to take action, her body became uncontrollable.

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and saw a cold light piercing his face.

The next moment, the dagger stopped an inch away from Li Mu's eyes.

Ying Yu wanted to get up and check, but found that he was completely limp and unable to move.

"Can't wait?"

Li Mu hugged Ying Yu and turned around and sat back on the couch.

At the same time, several women were also pulled by Li Mu's true qi threads and laid side by side on the beauty bed.

"Why, this is impossible!"

The courtesan Nichang still kept stabbing Li Mu with the dagger, her eyes full of disbelief.

Li Mu raised his hand and threw a brown pill into Dongmei's mouth. Then he sniffed it and asked regretfully,

"Pure, where did you get it?"

In the air, the condensed energy was hidden in the thick smell of powder.

Plus, with the smell of alcohol all over the room, it was really hard to detect.

The oiran's eyes were filled with reluctance, and she asked in confusion,

"You took the antidote in advance? But why? I haven't even practiced martial arts, why would you doubt me?"

Li Mu felt a little guilty about this question.

He did have some doubts about this courtesan, but he didn't notice it until the condensed energy in the air had dispersed enough to make people unable to move.

It's just that he happens to be immune to all poisons, so who can he go to for justice?

If it were someone else, this would really be a simple and practical killing game.

Dongmei took the antidote and was able to recover in just a few breaths.

Then he hurriedly took out a jade bottle from his arms and fed medicine to the rest of the people.

This original version of the Qi Condensation Powder is indeed very powerful. It can make a warrior in the Heaven and Human Realm lose the ability to move in just a moment.

It took less than half an incense stick of time to recover, and he couldn't even move a finger.

Li Mu was just very curious about where the other party got this thing from.

Ge Peining was very strict about keeping the Qi Condensing Powder. Apart from her fish, not even Old Ge had any of it on his person.

"Now that things have come to this, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

Seeing that Li Mu had no intention of explaining, Nishang gave up struggling, closed her eyes, and looked as if she was asking for death.

Li Mu handed Ying Yu to the recovered Xia He and walked up to the courtesan Nishang.

Glancing at the still wet dagger in her hand, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked subconsciously,

"Where is this hidden?"

"Ah!"

The courtesan snorted coldly and did not answer, but Li Mu seemed to understand her mocking look.

Asking knowingly.

Li Mu did not bother to argue with her. He circled around the courtesan and gently reached for her belt with his fingers.

Unexpectedly, the sarcasm in the eyes of the oiran increased instead of decreasing. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said in a light tone,

"Sir, please let me go. It will be worth it if I can spend a night with you before I die."

Hearing this, Li Mu paused and withdrew his hand in disappointment.

It seems that this method cannot threaten her.

Nichang showed a disappointed expression on her face, bit her lip and smiled.

"Are you shy, sir? I am about to die, and you are unwilling to fulfill my little wish?"

Li Mu narrowed his eyes and somewhat disliked communicating with this courtesan.

Without any hesitation, he directly used words.

"You want to kill me?"

"Not sure, it should be!" Nishang spoke, and then a painful expression appeared on her face.

"Who is your target?" Li Mu frowned and spoke again.

"Among the three, the most distinguished one..."

There was a flash of doubt in Li Mu's eyes.

The person the other party wants to kill is the person who took the photo of her tonight.

The characteristics are three women, and her target is the most noble one among them.

The reason why she attacked Li Mu first was simply because Li Mu was closest to her.

As for the person behind the scenes, Nichang had no idea, and this matter had nothing to do with Yujing Pavilion.

Li Mu couldn't be sure whether it was really as she said, or whether she was just a pawn.

After all, if the person involved is also deceived, the effect of words will be minimal.

At this time, Dongmei walked to the side of the servant, and then looked at Li Mu, as if asking for his opinion.

Li Mu took a quick glance and confirmed that she was also poisoned, then nodded slightly.

……

the other side.

Qin Duan obediently massaged the Queen's legs, while her eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked in the direction of the private room where Li Mu was.

The queen seemed to notice her gaze and smiled indulgently.

"Why, you don't believe me?"

"How could Duan'er not believe Aunt Hui?"

Qin Duan spoke with a firm tone, mixed with the embarrassment of having her thoughts exposed, and the guilt of not believing the Queen.

But there was no deliberate flattery as before.

The palace curled her lips, indicating that Qin Duan could stop, then she sat up, took off the veil on her face, and said in a calm tone,

"That kid actually got it right. Looks like I lost this time."

There was a flash of doubt in Qin Duan's eyes, and she became more and more curious about the boy that the queen mentioned.

Today's arrangement was not what the Queen wanted, but was made by someone else.

Even the Queen is just one part of it.

Thinking of this, Qin Duan became more curious about that person's identity.

Just as she was about to inquire about the specific identity of "that boy", a deep male voice came from outside the private room.

"Li Mu, Li Qingyi wants to see the queen."
