Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort

After that, Mu Zhi once again looked at Qian Ye and discovered that Qian Ye was looking at him with curiosity, and even suspicion.

"This is?" Mu Zhi said to Thousandleaf and smiled faintly. In that instant, he seemed to have noticed something.

"This is a child that I brought back four years ago. Take a seat, Thousandleaf!" Mu Jin said to Thousandleaf, who was standing behind him.

Before Qian Ye could pull the chair back, a eunuch came forward and respectfully pulled the chair out for her.

Thousandleaf looked at the eunuch uncomfortably, and sat down uneasily.

Mu Zhi"s eyes sized up Qian Ye"s face, but there wasn"t anything special about it, and he also didn"t understand why Mu Jin brought Qian Ye here.

"Thousandleaf has never been to the Southern Mountain State before, and he has never been to the palace either, so I brought him here on my own this time. Your majesty shouldn"t mind that, right?" After Mu Jin sat down, he lightly stroke his sleeves that were embroidered with silver threads and said casually.

Since Mu Jin dared to bring Thousandleaf here, he had naturally planned to leave safely.

Qian Ye looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her. Even the dishes on the plates were very expensive and exquisite. She couldn"t help but widen her eyes.

Mu Jin and Mu Zhi exchanged a few simple words before Fu Lu left with the other palace maids.

The moment the mahogany door closed, Mu Zhi lightly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the smile on his face slowly faded from the corner of his mouth.

Without waiting for Mu Zhi to speak, Mu Jin spoke first, "Last night, Jiangnan Courtyard broke into the a.s.sa.s.sin"s room, I wonder if Your Majesty knows?"

"Is that so? Coincidentally, the Imperial Palace was also ambushed last night! " Mu Zhi said coldly.

Thousandleaf sat to the side, watching as the two of them sipped their tea without even moving his chopsticks. He felt a sense of anxiety in his heart.

It wasn"t that she was hungry, she just felt that it would be a pity if she didn"t eat the dishes on the table.

"Did the emperor suspect this young master of sending a.s.sa.s.sins into the palace to a.s.sa.s.sinate him?" His words were not light, but there was a kind of threat in his tone, "If this young master wanted to kill your majesty, then that would be when the Emperor left the Jiangnan Courtyard. When he made his move at that time, the Emperor would definitely not have a chance of survival, what do you think, your majesty?"

Mu Zhi looked at Mu Jin, and saw that Mu Jin"s pitch black eyes were as deep as a well, the corner of her vermilion lips seemed to be smeared with rouge, upon contact with the fragrant tea, the color of her lips became even more alluring.

If he took off this silver mask, what kind of face would he have!?

He should be similar to him. After all, they were cousins. Where was the blood relation?

I know that the Young Lord would not do such a stupid thing, but last night"s a.s.sa.s.sins were all very skilled, and they used secret weapons that I have never seen before. Not only that, they even managed to leave the palace safely.

"This is also the reason why this young master came to attend the banquet. Does the emperor have any clues?" Mu Jin lightly bit his lower lip, the special tea provided by the palace was different, the entrance was so clear and smooth.

With these two simple sentences, Mu Jin kicked the question back to where it came from.

He was very clear that Mu Zhi set up this banquet to find out if the a.s.sa.s.sin was actually sent by him.

And the current situation was that Mu Zhi had not completely dispelled all of his suspicions!

"The Clear Light Pavilion is a place for gathering intelligence. Could it be that the Young Lord really has no information at all? I thought that after such a long time, the Young Lord will definitely be able to find something!" Mu Zhi asked, half-teasing and half-probing.

"According to my knowledge, these a.s.sa.s.sins entered the palace and attacked the Jiangnan Courtyard separately on the same night. With their martial arts skills and abilities, if they were to hide their ident.i.ties, it would be easy for them to succeed in the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt, but they chose the most direct method, which is to directly kill their way in, and when they encounter an obstacle, they would retreat without a trace. If they truly want to a.s.sa.s.sinate them, wouldn"t it be too obvious?" Mu Jin a.n.a.lyzed it in detail.

"So Young Lord means these a.s.sa.s.sins weren"t here to a.s.sa.s.sinate?" Both have the same hot spots.

a.s.sa.s.sins had very high martial arts skills, if they were to barge into an ordinary place, their martial arts would definitely be more than enough. However, the palace and Jiangnan Courtyard were definitely a heavily guarded place, and if one wanted to barge in, no matter how high your martial arts might be, only a dozen or so people were left.

Mu Jin shook his head: "This young master doesn"t know their motive either, I only know that their actions are really strange, making it hard for people to figure it out. Why do they have to be the palace and the Jiangnan Courtyard? "Not anywhere else?"

Mu Jin looked at Mu Zhi meaningfully and said.

Mu Zhi"s devilish eyebrows instantly looked as if they had fallen into Mu Jin"s abyss.

He contacted a person, and that person was Wei Yuanwei.

Because the palace and the Jiangnan Courtyard were precisely where Wei Yuanwei resided.

Could it be that all these people were here for Wei Yuanwei?

Mu Zhi"s expression changed again and again, but it quickly returned back to normal. "Could it be that someone knew that you and I had secretly made a deal and wanted to use this a.s.sa.s.sination to create suspicions between us?"

This could also be explained, but if it was him, even if he wanted to sow discord, he would absolutely not use such a powerful force.

Mu Jin turned his head to look at Qian Ye, "You can pick whatever you want to eat!"

When Qian Ye heard Mu Jin"s words, her small face that had been conflicted all this time revealed a look of relief, and following that, her cheeks revealed faint dimples.

In any case, Thousandleaf could not understand what they were saying, and her attention was completely focused on the exquisite dishes on the table.

Mu Jin knew that Thousand Leaves was not a foodie, it was just that ever since she experienced the famine at the age of twelve, he had developed an extremely paranoid obsession.

That was, he would not waste a single grain of rice or dish. He had to eat all of them. Otherwise, he would feel extremely upset. It was as if wasting a single grain of rice would bring about the wrath of heaven.

"As long as the emperor no longer thinks that this young lord wants to kill the emperor, then it"s fine. After all, the emperor has what this young lord wants!" Mu Jin pursed her lips, a bewitching poppy quietly blooming on the corner of her lips.

Wei Yuanwei and Su"er were right beside him, he just wanted to know who exactly was the person helping Mu Zhi behind the scenes!

Mu Zhi looked down. He didn"t dare to completely believe in Mu Jin"s words, who knew if he and Wei Yuanwei recognized each other.

Furthermore, the mysterious person did not tell him whether or not he had prevented Wei Yuanwei and Mu Jin from recognizing each other!
