Chapter 385 - 385 - A Tree of Plum BlossomWhen Ning Zheyan had flown up to the rooftop, she had stood on the rooftop for a while. However, when Ning Zheyan descended from the rooftop, the guards could no longer find him.
After this matter was reported to the Prince, the Prince immediately went to the west wing.
Xuan Li also felt that this matter was somewhat inconceivable.
"Maybe, the person standing on the rooftop is not Ning Zheyan!" Mu Jin looked at the Plum Blossom Tot in his hand.
But since it"s not Ning Zheyan, then when he went to find Ning Zheyan just now to talk about this matter, Ning Zheyan basically had an expression of "it"s me"?
This was all too strange!
This path was slightly off, but it was the fastest shortcut to reach the side hall. The surrounding buildings were hesitating, so it could be considered a relatively spa.r.s.ely populated path.
This plum blossom bone dropping on the cobblestone road was really too strange. He really wanted to believe that this was something that Wei Yuanwei accidentally dropped when she was picking plum blossoms and walking down this small path.
Mu Jin quickened her pace and arrived at the side chamber. She pushed the door open with some urgency on her face.
The candlelight was still lit as Wei Yuanwei lay on his bed alone with a thick blanket covering him. The charcoal beside the bed was burning hot as well and her eyes were slightly closed.
A maidservant was hanging up the clothes that the princess was going to wear tomorrow. When she turned around and saw Mu Jin standing behind her, she couldn"t help but be shocked.
Mu Jin quickly made a "hush" gesture and told the maidservant to be quiet.
"When did the princess return?" Mu Jin looked at Wei Yuanwei who was on the bed.
"This servant doesn"t know, but when this servant came in, w.a.n.gfei was already inside!" The young maid spoke the truth.
Mu Jin waved his hand, signaling the maidservant to leave.
Seeing that, Xuan Li followed the servant out.
Mu Jin walked to the side of the bed and looked at Wei Yuanwei quietly, carefully and carefully pinching the corners of her bed.
Under the light, Mu Jin"s actions were very gentle, as if she was a couple that had been together for many years …
However, they were no longer husband and wife, much less lovers.
If it was in the past, he would definitely carry the sleeping Wei Yuanwei to the side of the bed. Afterwards, he would sleep by her side while wearing the clothes.
As Mu Jin thought this, a bitter smile appeared on her face.
Soon after, the pitch-black eyes started to size up the previously familiar room. But now, Mu Jin felt a sense of unfamiliarity, as if she was sizing up someone else"s room.
At the same time, he lowered his head to look at the plum blossom in his palm. The pink stamen was still as dazzling as before, and a clear fragrance slowly emanated from the stamen, as if it had just been plucked not long ago.
Wei Yuanwei had never liked taking care of plants and flowers, she also didn"t like breaking and raising flowers in a vase, it was just like the faint fragrance of plum blossoms. Although Wei Yuanwei liked the smell, she wouldn"t bring the plum blossoms back.
Especially at a time like this.
The flower bud on the cobblestone road was obviously not dropped by Wei Yuanwei.
As for who it was, Mu Jin had an answer in her heart.
Mu Jin gazed at Wei Yuanwei for a long time with his eyes filled with emotions. Finally, he sighed and left the room.
He knew that as long as he was here, Wei Yuanwei would never wake up!
How could he not know that Wei Yuanwei was just pretending to be asleep?
The two of them had once again returned to the starting point!
"Your Highness, are you going back to the main hall to rest?" Xuan Li had thought that Mu Jin would stay at the side hall for the night, but she was a little surprised when she saw Mu Jin coming out.
They were no longer husband and wife, how could he stay here?
"Yes!" Mu Jin replied softly, "Xuan Li, can you see anything strange about Ning Zheyan today?"
This world only had one Ning Zheyan, so it was impossible for Ning Zheyan to appear in two places at the same time.
Then there must be a fake Ning Zheyan among them!
Mu Jin had observed every single movement of Ning Zheyan"s in detail, and even noticed the expression on his face, but still felt that it was a little strange.
He kept having the feeling that something was missing from this Ning Zheyan, but he was absolutely sure that Ning Zheyan"s face was genuine. There was no disguise mask in this world that could perfectly match and fuse with a face.
It was even more impossible to escape from his eyes.
Xuan Li thought about it carefully: "This subordinate has not interacted much with Ning Zheyan, but if someone tried to pa.s.s off as Ning Zheyan, this subordinate would be able to sense it, and the sickly temperament that Ning Zheyan has, is not something that an ordinary person can imitate."
Sick? Mu Jin suddenly remembered. Her pitch-black pupils dilated at this moment. A powerful deterrent seeped out from Mu Jin"s body.
The Ning Zheyan he just saw was fake!
Previously, when he caught Ning Zheyan, he already discovered that his face was whiter and thinner than that of an ordinary person. It was a type of whiteness that lacked blood for a long time, so it made him look extremely weak.
And what he saw today, though also looked extremely weak, was that the fake Ning Zheyan was unable to imitate the actual Ning Zheyan"s haggard appearance and sickly beauty.
Yet, he had neglected such an important point.
What kind of tricks was Ning Zheyan trying to pull on him?
He actually allowed someone who looked exactly the same as him to replace him in the prince"s mansion, while he himself secretly snuck into the prince"s mansion!
Ning Zheyan, what are you thinking about? Could it be that she wanted to take Wei Yuanwei away in front of this king again?
"Prince, why did you come back?" At this moment, the clothes on Ning Zheyan"s body started to fade, the fiery red dress became like a blooming peony, blooming layer by layer at Ning Zheyan"s feet, it was extremely bewitching.
Ning Zheyan had a head of long ink-black hair and looked at Mu Jin who had walked in with a seductive and devilish gaze. The corner of his mouth curled up into an evil smile.
Ning Zheyan was truly a hermaphrodite. When he put down all her hair and turned her back towards Mu Jin, Mu Jin really thought that he had accidentally barged into the room of a woman who was changing her clothes.
From Mu Jin"s perspective, Ning Zheyan"s black eyebrows, dark red lips, high nose, and smooth and exquisite skin that was like mutton fat, looked just like a woman.
And the most important thing was that Ning Zheyan was currently holding on to her shoulder as she took off her clothes. This kind of beautiful feeling was actually vividly displayed by a man.
Furthermore, the sickly beauty that was revealed from his bones made Mu Jin feel that Ning Zheyan had reincarnated wrongly. He shouldn"t be a man, she should be a woman!
