Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort Chapter 1045

"Xuan Li, where did you get this portrait?" Mu Jin immediately asked coldly, his first reaction being that Ai Lin might not know his true ident.i.ty.

Xuan Li walked in, and when his eyes saw the portrait hanging on the wall, he was immediately startled, and said: "This subordinate does not know."

Just as he finished speaking, Ai Lin's clear and melodious voice came from outside the door: "My prince, I had the butler buy it outside."

"Who asked you to buy this painting?" Mu Jin's tone was cold and hard, while his pitch black eyes were filled with dangerous information.

Yin Sheng, who was behind Ai Lin, trembled in fear.

Ai Lin's charming smile froze on her face as she continued to speak, "I heard that the Prince and the previous Crown Prince of Southern Mountain State were sworn brothers for life, so …"

"So, the reason why you bought his painting, was it because you wanted to wors.h.i.+p him?" Mu Jin walked to the front of Ai Lin and pinched his wrist. At that moment, he felt an extremely heavy force.

It had been five years since he had looked in a mirror, and even more so since he had seen him. He had almost forgotten what he looked like.

But Ai Lin had hung his portrait at this time. This undoubtedly did not make him angry.

All these years, he had been carefully concealing his ident.i.ty, waiting for the day when he could slaughter his way back to the Southern Mountain State to take revenge. And before he could take revenge, his true ident.i.ty definitely could not be leaked.

Thus, his portrait definitely could not appear here. It would only attract the suspicion of others towards his ident.i.ty.

"Wei Yuanwei, don't think that just because this king dotes on you that you can do whatever you want." Mu Jin fiercely swung down Ai Lin's arm, the light in his eyes was terrifyingly cold, and then he quickly walked out.

Xuan Li immediately walked over and took the painting off the wall.

That was the first time they had quarrelled since they were married, and also the first time he had said something so harsh to Ai Lin.

At that time, he was truly afraid in his heart, and was also very worried. He was afraid that Ai Lin had really been sent by someone else to probe him, and his actions just now had undoubtedly already exposed her ident.i.ty.

He should have let Shang Li deal with this matter as soon as possible so that his ident.i.ty wouldn't be exposed.

However, he was also reluctant to hurt Ai Lin. After so many days, he already had some feelings for her.

Therefore, after he left, he only allowed Xuan Li to keep an eye on his movements. After that, he used the excuse of being busy with work and did not return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In less than a day's time, news of the conflict between the princess and princess had spread throughout the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Everyone was watching on gloatingly, and soon after, the prince didn't return to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several days.

Even if Ai Lin was an imperial concubine, she was still an unfavoured imperial concubine. In the eyes of her servants, she was nothing more than a dog that had lost her prestige.

Previously, everyone was afraid of Ai Lin and did not dare to provoke him, but it was all for the sake of the Evil King.

It had only been a few days, and the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, from the master to the servants, all started to mock and ridicule Ai Lin, openly and secretly, showing him their faces.

In Luo Hua City, Wei Linglong was sitting in front of her dressing mirror and carefully dressed up. It was said that she didn't return to the Evil King to stay for a few nights straight, and would instead return to the Prime Minister's Mansion to stay for the night.

It was unknown what method Wei Yuanwei used to make the Evil King especially care for her, or what she said in her ears. It had been over a month, and Evil King had always been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was said that he would stay until the day the Evil King returned.

This was definitely the idea of that b.i.t.c.h Wei Yuanwei. She wanted to borrow the Evil King's power and act mighty in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that she could hate herself for being bullied and humiliated for more than ten years.

However, who knew that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d Wei Yuanwei would actually provoke Evil King, and the anger disappeared in an instant. In the past few days, she had heard quite a few rumors about Wei Yuanwei, saying that Wei Yuanwei was a pampered genius, taking an inch in front of the Evil King. The Evil King was so angry that he hit Wei Yuanwei, and he even spat out some harsh words, and did not return to Peach House anymore.

Furthermore, the Prince had also instructed his subordinates to watch over Wei Yuanwei strictly and not allow her to go anywhere.

Hahaha, isn't this what Wei Yuanwei deserves?

"Miss, this servant has already prepared everything. With Miss's beauty, I'm sure you can capture the heart of Evil King." Xiao Xiao, the personal maid, was also very confident in her plan to get the beautiful woman to make things difficult for him.

Wei Yuanwei had lived for more than a month out of all the consorts, and this was definitely because Wei Yuanwei only had his Evil King to rely on, and didn't want to die either, so she had to curry favor with Evil King. To live till now, this had merely been a momentary interest in Wei Yuanwei.

Wei Linglong held the handkerchief in her hands, her exquisite face had a ruthless look, the color of her face had a knife in her head. Ever since Evil King had been disfigured, all the women started to talk about the Evil King, none of them threw themselves into her arms.

Of course, Wei Yuanwei would be the first, and she would be the second.

No matter what she did tonight, she would climb onto the Duke's bed and sit on his wife. Even if she had to become a concubine, even if she had to be a concubine, she would be fine. When she entered the Prince's mansion, she only needed to curry favor with him and it wouldn't be long before she could squeeze Wei Yuanwei out of her bed.

After tonight, she would become the prince's new concubine.

The night was as thick as ink. Although it was already late autumn, the weather was constantly changing between hot and cold. The clamorous cries of the people on top of the trees made the originally unpleasant night seem somewhat irritable.

A luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion's entrance, and Mu Jin who was dressed in a purple cloud pattern python robe walked out of the carriage.

Looking at the Prime Minister's Mansion that was enveloped in darkness, he lightly pinched his hands.

During the three days he was gone, Xuan Li had come to report. He had always obediently stayed in Peach House and didn't contact anyone. He also hadn't left the Peach House and would ask him when he would be back everyday.

This meant that maybe Ai Lin did not do it on purpose, and it was unknown where she heard that she was friends with Yun Xie, so she hung up the painting. Her original intention was to make him happy, but unfortunately, she had used the wrong thing.

"It's so late, is the w.a.n.gfei asleep yet?" Mu Jin turned his head and looked at Xuan Li who was standing in front of him.

"Not yet. The Royal Concubine knew that the Prince would be back tonight, so she prepared his favorite food and stayed in Peach House to wait for him." Xuan Li reported.

"Is there nothing unusual with the princess these days?" Mu Jin asked again with a cold voice.

"Yes, your subordinate has investigated and confirmed that nothing is amiss with your consort."

"Yes." Mu Jin gave a light grunt, and his tone became light.

When he left, he had made up his mind, but after just a few days of hard work, his heart gradually gave up. He still wanted to see her, talk to her, and sleep with her in his arms.

It was as if they had been together for the past month, and he was already used to her existence.

Wei Linglong was dressed in a thin muslin dress that revealed her slender figure. She was holding a gla.s.s lantern in her hand, and when she saw Evil King's figure she slowly walked over.

Wei Linglong immediately walked over with the gla.s.s lantern in her hand, her face filled with anxiousness.

"Who is it?" Xuan Li quickly realised that Wei Linglong who was walking over from the side had immediately pulled out her sword from her waist.

Wei Linglong was shocked, her leg twisted and she fell onto the ground. Her three thousand strands of hair was disheveled, falling onto her shoulders, she bent down slightly, causing his chest to be opened, a hint of radiance leaking out from his chest.

Under the light of the wind lamps in the hands of the guards, the radiance of spring was especially obvious.

"The prince shall atone for his sins, the prince shall atone for his sins, Linglong did not intentionally offend the prince." Wei Linglong said in panic as she pitifully raised her delicate face.

Wei Linglong's kneeling posture caused her collar to expand even further, but the spring light was still faintly discernible, attracting many people.

Mu Jin saw through Wei Linglong's trick with a glance.

Originally, Mu Jin did not want to stay here for too long, and even more so, wanted to ignore Wei Linglong. However, with a glance, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and under the moonlight, saw a slightly plump figure sneakily poking his head out of the darkness, looking anxious.

Suddenly, the corner of Mu Jin's lips raised up. He had to teach Ai Lin a lesson, make her understand that although he doted on her, doted on her, and liked her, that did not mean that she could do whatever she wanted.

"Miss Wei, why are you here so late?" Mu Jin spoke slowly, his tone neither hurried nor slow, making others unable to discern his mood.

"Linglong's cat is gone, mother gave it to Linglong before she died. After mother left, Linglong slept with it every night, hoping that it would be possible to dream about Mother, but I don't know why, but tonight, the cat was gone, and Linglong came out to find the cat, not wanting to offend the Duke."

After Wei Linglong finished speaking, she lowered her head and sobbed, and then struggled to get up from the ground.

But before he could even stand up, Wei Linglong's balance became unstable and he was about to fall down.

Mu Jin bent over, and with a stretch of his large hand, firmly hugged Wei Linglong's body.

Wei Linglong was surprised, but she was secretly delighted in her heart. She struggled to stand up from Mu Jin's embrace and said in a low voice, "My prince, Linglong, Linglong did not do it on purpose.

After saying that, Wei Linglong attempted to leave Mu Jin's embrace. As for her white hands, they supported Mu Jin's chest, bowing her head, her face slightly flushed.

Such a intimate action not only startled the Xuan Li at the side, it also caused the Yin Sheng who was hiding in the darkness to widen her eyes, as she covered her own mouth with her hands.

"Wake up? Where is your servant girl? Mu Jin said these words coldly. The hand wrapped around Wei Linglong's body did not let go.
