The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

Chapter 95: Every step of the way

"No...it's nothing." Mu Lan picked up the brand as quickly as possible, and was about to stuff it back into her clothes, but such a move had already aroused Dong Lingjue's suspicion, and she strode over, grabbing She snatched what was in her hand.

"Nothing?" I saw his two beautiful eyebrows froze instantly, and the eyes that looked at her were sharper and more terrifying than before, and he said word by word: "If I remember correctly, this is the assassin's handbag." thing?"

Oops!Mu Lan murmured in her heart that it was unlucky, it was hard for the master to calm down his anger, and he was afraid that it would be difficult again.

"This... is indeed his property." Such a large sign was hung around his neck, and anyone with eyes could have seen it, so Mu Lan could only admit it. [

"Didn't you say you don't know him?" Dong Lingjue approached her, "Why do you even have a token now?"

Mu Lan shook her head quickly, and said: "This is not a token." After thinking about how to explain it, her eyes were too guilty to look at him, "Yes... Those who chased him wanted to snatch this, and he asked me to take it for him temporarily Keep it."

Compared to her panic, Dong Lingjue was quite calm at the moment, so calm that it was a bit scary, "Oh? Does he trust you that much?"

"This... I don't know too well, maybe he is afraid that he won't be able to beat those people and be snatched away by them, so..." Mu Lan discovered for the first time that lying is also a job with super brain cells.

"Really?" Dong Ling smiled, but he didn't know whether it was a mockery or a sneer, "Then, when did he give it to you?"

Mu Lan's mind was already a little messed up by his questioning step by step, but she still didn't forget to organize her thoughts, and said, "It was when she escaped from the palace..."

Dong Ling seemed to be considering the credibility of her words, and said again: "I will give you another chance, are you sure you are not lying to me?"

Mu Lan's heart was pounding wildly. In fact, she was not a person who was good at lying, even if it was a white lie, especially when she was under his gaze.

With such a firm tone, it seemed as if he had caught her. She almost couldn't help but tell the truth and let it go.However, once she told the truth, Xifeng might be taken back by Dong Lingjue, even if she lied to him for one more day, she must never tell.

Thinking of this, Mu Lan took a deep breath, looked at him, and said, "No, what I'm telling is the truth."

Dong Lingjue's charming phoenix eyes narrowed bit by bit, and Mu Lan suddenly felt her whole heart tightening along with the narrowing deep pool.

"You know, before you fell into the water, many guards fought against him. I just need to find someone to ask, and I can know whether what you said is true or not."

As he said that, he grabbed her chin playfully, and sprayed his warm breath on her face, "Now, are you sure you're telling the truth?"

Mu Lan's entire body trembled uncontrollably. It seemed that she was really not suitable for dealing with a cunning man like him. This man's brain circuits were not so fast, and he could find the loopholes in her words so easily.

"Then... that may be because I remembered it wrong." Mu Lan felt her tongue was about to get knotted.

Dong Lingjue was not annoyed at all, and still had such a brisk tone, and said with a smile: "Then it was given to you after he jumped into the river?"

At this moment, Mu Lan had realized that she was full of loopholes, so she clenched her lips tightly and did not speak.

"Then, let me guess." Dong Ling said patiently, as if he was playing crossword puzzles with her: "The river was so fast at that time, so it was impossible to be at a moment when life and death were uncertain. After landing, right?"

"Maybe, the river was too fast at that time, so I grabbed it from his neck." Mu Lan argued unconvinced. [

"Look clearly." Dong Lingjue twisted the rope tied to the wooden sign and hung it in front of her eyes.

Mu Lan just glanced at it, and suddenly felt that she was really driven stupid by him, even thinking of such a non-technical lie.The rope tied to the wooden sign is completely missing, how can there be any signs of being torn?

/>

Dong Ling Jue didn't let her go, and continued unhurriedly: "Since you were out of danger at that time, if nothing happened, he wouldn't have given you such an important thing, would he?"

This man was nothing short of a devil, under his pressure, Mu Lan felt that she was about to suffocate.

At this moment, Dong Lingjue withdrew the spirit from his eyes, turned to stare at her disappointedly, and said coolly: "Tell me, what other words do you have that I can believe?"

As he spoke, he shook her face away, turned around, opened the door and walked out.

For some reason, his last look made Mu Lan's whole heart feel as if someone had emptied her, and she fell to the ground in a powerless state.

He had already seen that she was lying, right?Such a way to expose her layer by layer, so that she can retreat, and finally hide in front of him.

Although, when he angrily denounced her crimes and said that she was a woman full of scheming, she had been hurt because of his distrust, but it was far less than this moment.

She didn't know if he had ever believed her before, but it was conceivable that he would never trust her from now on.

She completely ruined her credibility.

This recognition made her a little breathless, and she regretted it a little. Maybe, when he said to give her the last chance, she should confess everything. Then, maybe he can give him a little trust, maybe because of her Xifeng let go of his frankness.

Now, everything is over.

Mu Lan sat on the ground in a daze for a long time, until she suddenly shuddered, and finally recovered, went through what happened just now in her mind again, and began to accept this cruel fact.

However, this calmness reminded her of an important matter.

Damn it, Tang Lingjue took her signboard away!

Naturally, Mu Lan didn't dare to ask Dong Lingjue to get the wooden card back. In fact, she was more worried about Xi Feng's safety than the wooden card.Since Dong Lingjue knew that he disappeared here, he definitely wouldn't just let it go.

Sure enough, in the evening, a guard came back to report that blood and traces of fighting were found in the forest across the river, but the whereabouts of the assassin were not found for the time being.

Dong Lingjue sat in a chair, after listening to the guard's report, he only ordered to hunt them down with all his might, and at the same time notified the government to search the area within a hundred li, and anyone who dared to take him in would be punished as an accomplice.

Mu Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news that Xi Feng was not arrested. However, Dong Lingjue's search warrant made her feel a little relieved.

It can be seen that Dong Ling is absolutely determined to catch him, and the consequences of catching him can be imagined.

Xifeng was seriously injured, so he must not run far. Although the mountains and forests are hidden, they cannot hold back so many people to search and arrest.What's more, wild animals in the mountains may not be safer than humans. [

However, she doesn't seem qualified to worry about others now.The horror of Dong Lingjue is that you don't know what he is thinking at all, like he has exposed her, but still acquiesced to her sitting at the same table with him for dinner.

Fortunately, she is not alone. If she is to say that her heart is tangled like on pins and needles, she believes that there must be Mo Yan.It doesn't matter if she lied, anyway, it's not the first time she lied to Dong Lingjue, as the saying goes, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch.
