Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort

And most importantly, she still wanted to find Su Lei to ask him about the situation after returning to the palace.

"Your name is Ning Zi?" Mu Jin"s deep and heavy voice slowly resounded from within the room.

"Yes," Wei Yuanwei replied without hesitation and then turned her eyes to look at the Mu Jin inside with some antic.i.p.ation.

"You are a servant girl beside Ning Zheyan?" Mu Jin"s voice was slow and seemingly calm, but when Wei Yuanwei heard it, she somehow felt that it was a little … A bad feeling.

"Yes sir!" Even though Wei Yuanwei felt that his heart was a little uneasy, his heart was looking forward to something.

Mu Jin"s demonic smile deepened, and his calm and low voice was filled with magnetism, as if there was some kind of magic attracting you.

"Come in!"

was not used to the sudden change in tone, but he had to admit that it was going in the direction he was looking for.

But at the same time, Wei Yuanwei was a little worried.

She really couldn"t guess what the young master was thinking. She didn"t know what this sudden change in her tone signified.

Wei Yuanwei extended her hand and pulled out the hair wrapped around her neck. After taking a deep breath, she lifted up the stairs and walked inside the house.

Out of the eight candles initially lit in the room, only two of them had remained. This caused Wei Yuanwei to only roughly see a single figure, and adding the flickering candle light, there was always a strange atmosphere. This caused Wei Yuanwei to walk with extreme caution.

However, his thoughts had undergone a tremendous change.

He was looking forward to see that the other party was Mu Jin, but he was thinking again. Could it be that he had admitted that he was Ning Zi so carelessly and made the other party realize something?

After all, after Ning Zheyan left, only the people at the Clear Glow Pavilion knew what happened to him, and all of her memories of Yan Yu Manor still rested on when she was still around.

Mu Jin"s silver hair was as smooth and silky as gold, but at this moment, under the illumination of the candlelight, it only made people feel a tinge of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"No wonder you weren"t willing to reveal your ident.i.ty previously. So it turns out you"re Yan Yu Manor"s man!" Mu Jin turned around, and the light scattered on the silver mask also changed. It was originally condensed form, but at this moment, Wei Yuanwei felt a hint of gentleness.

Wei Yuanwei stood not too far away from him, and after she finished speaking these words, the surrounding atmosphere became extremely quiet, so quiet that Wei Yuanwei could hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

This time, Mu Jin walked towards Wei Yuanwei. When Mu Jin approached her, Wei Yuanwei actually wanted to retreat for a split second. Her instincts told her that there was danger.

"Why aren"t you speaking?" Mu Jin"s low voice seemed to slow down slightly, and the ice-cold feeling disappeared.

The pressure in a person"s heart was greatly reduced.

"Young master, I don"t know why the emperor thinks you sent me to poison him, but I really didn"t say it was your people!"

Just as Wei Yuanwei finished speaking, Mu Jin had also walked in front of Wei Yuanwei. His tall body instantly blocked the light source.

Even at such a close distance, Wei Yuanwei was still unable to clearly see what kind of expression Mu Jin had under his mask.

Other than a blurry figure, Wei Yuanwei could not see anything else.

"When the spies under his command saw you enter the Jiangnan Courtyard, they naturally suspected that you were this young master"s man!" Mu Jin didn"t have any intention to blame Wei Yuanwei. He slowly lowered his head with raised head, and asked with bright eyes: "Why are you so nervous?"

"Young master, you"re too close to me!" She was nervous not because she was afraid of her, but because she was thinking of a reason to say Ning Zhi"s name.

After Mu Jin finished listening, he took a few steps back, "Did the poison you administered to the emperor really come from Ning Zheyan?"

"Yes sir!" Wei Yuanwei kept having the feeling that Mu Jin was interrogating her, or even testing her to see what was going on.

At this moment, the more the other party behaved without leaving a trace, the more Wei Yuanwei was worried.

After Mu Jin finished listening to what Wei Yuanwei had said, under the cover of the night, the corner of his lips slowly rose to form a curve, and the temperature in his eyes continued to drop.

"The Emperor said that Ning Zheyan is dead, and only you can cure his poison?"

"Young master, what do you want to ask?" The more Mu Jin asked, the more she felt that something was wrong. Although she did not know what was wrong, her sixth sense told her that there was something wrong.

"It"s still the same question as yesterday. Who is Su"er"s father?" Mu Jin squinted his eyes and looked at Wei Yuanwei coldly.

This was what Wei Yuanwei wanted to tell Mu Jin in the first place, but when Mu Jin suddenly asked this question, he became extremely uneasy.

Furthermore, she didn"t even know what Mu Zhi and Mu Jin were discussing inside the house.

However, from the questions that Mu Jin asked, it could be seen that the two of them were probably talking about Yan Yu Manor.

Wei Yuanwei subconsciously clenched her fists. She had to make a difficult choice between not to say it and not to say it.

In the end, Wei Yuanwei mustered her courage.

"Ning Zhi!" Wei Yuanwei said bravely as she raised her head to meet Mu Jin"s gaze.

Ning Zhi had randomly made up a name, but Yan Yu Manor simply did not have such a person, so it was simply impossible for the young master of the Clear Glow Water Pavilion to know who Ning Zhi was.

When Mu Jin heard this name, his heart fiercely shook, and following that, his eyes became filled with shock and disbelief as his dim eyes instantly lit up.

Seemingly subconsciously, Mu Jin was about to blurt out those three words, but the moment his lips opened, Mu Jin suddenly swallowed those words back down his throat.

What if all of this was just Mu Zhi"s scheme?

He had already tested him once with Wei Yuanwei"s life and death just now.

Because his weakness was only Wei Yuanwei, Mu Zhi would do everything he could to use Wei Yuanwei as an opening.

Once he said Wei Yuanwei"s name, it would mean that he had admitted that she was Mu Jin. If the other party was Wei Yuanwei, then he would admit that she was Mu Jin, which would mean that everyone would be happy. But if the other party wasn"t Wei Yuanwei, then what about the person Mu Zhi sent to probe him out?

Wasn"t this undoubtedly causing his ident.i.ty, which he had been hiding for so many years, to be revealed? Mu Zhi would definitely use the matter of and the Twelve Zodiac Spiritual Beads to lead him by the nose, but he did not even have the ability to resist.

Because he knew his ident.i.ty, knew what he wanted, and had tightly grasped his weak spot in his hand. This was Mu Zhi"s true goal.

After that, he hesitated, because very few people knew of the name Ning Zhi, but he did not dare rule out whether or not Mu Zhi obtained the news from other sources.
