The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 185 Eunuch Chen Tests

"Miss Mu Wu, we have to remind you that you'd better not act rashly. You have to consider the dozens of lives in the Mu family!" Eunuch Chen had a gloomy face and reminded her coldly.

When Mu Lanfeng heard this, he suddenly felt something bad in his heart.

However, she did not show any emotion on her face, and remained calm as she said slowly, "Eunuch Chen, look at this road, it doesn't seem to be the direction to the palace!"

The corners of Eunuch Chen's mouth twitched suddenly, and his expression changed slightly. He raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Lanfeng quickly, then lowered his eyes in an instant, without saying a word, just staying there quietly, as if the strangeness of that moment had never happened.

The carriage sped away like an arrow, and the cold wind whistled past my ears from time to time.

Mu Lanfeng didn't take these few people in front of him seriously at all.

However, at this moment, someone was threatening her with the lives of dozens of people in the Mu family. Even if she had a lot of ideas in her mind, she didn't dare to act rashly. She could only hold it back for the time being and wait and see.

Although Mu Lanfeng still had some uncertainty in his heart, his face remained calm.

She raised her eyes calmly, her gaze gently fell on Eunuch Chen, and thought to herself: This Eunuch Chen acts in a secretive way, and now he is walking in a strange way, he must have some ulterior motive. Humph, you want to use the lives of dozens of people in the Mu Mansion to control me, but it's not that easy, why not open your mouth and test it first.

Thinking of this, she slowly opened her mouth to test him: "Eunuch, the road you took Lan Feng to is not the way to enter the palace, and you are unwilling to make it clear where to go. Lan Feng is really worried. You also know that Lan Feng is just a woman and can't cause any trouble. Eunuch has said that Lan Feng still has to take care of the lives of dozens of people in the Mu family. Even if she dies, she must die with a clear conscience, right?"

Mu Lanfeng spoke slowly and took off the jade bracelet on his wrist very naturally.

Her expression remained calm, and her eyes showed no trace of emotion. She quietly slipped the jade bracelet into Eunuch Chen's hand without making a sound, and the whole movement was smooth and flowing.

Eunuch Chen first glanced at Mu Lanfeng lightly and calmly.

Then, he slowly lowered his head and his eyes fell on the jade bracelet that had just been stuffed into his hand.

Eunuch Chen was a person who had seen rare objects here. With just one glance, he could tell that this jade bracelet was no ordinary item, but a genuine top-grade product.

He curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and quickly put away the jade bracelet without leaving any trace, hiding it in his sleeve. At the same time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just with this smile, a clear image of this person instantly emerged in Mu Lanfeng's mind.

I had seen him at the winter party.

At that time, it seemed that he was deliberately keeping a certain distance from King Cheng Li Shanglu, but as long as one paid a little attention, one could clearly perceive that he was actually King Cheng's man. How could the subtle sense of subordination that was secretly revealed easily escape Mu Lanfeng's eyes?

Mu Lanfeng was still uncertain in her heart. She frowned slightly and looked at the smile on the face of the person in front of her.

Mu Lanfeng's heart moved, and he keenly realized that perhaps this seemingly unintentional smile was the breakthrough he had been looking for for a long time.

"Fifth Miss, I am really just following orders!" Eunuch Chen said as he quickly glanced out of the carriage window, then lowered his voice and said nervously, "I hope Fifth Miss will not embarrass me. You don't know that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is always strict. If he knew that I made a mistake in this matter, he would definitely take my life. Fifth Miss, please have mercy on me!"

Become a king?

Mu Lanfeng thought to himself that this situation was not much different from his previous guess.

Looking at this situation, Li Shanglu is acting like this, could it be that he is plotting something bad or intending to rebel?

Thinking of this, Mu Lanfeng couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Li Shanglu's scheming is really too deep. Thinking back to the last time I met him, he was so expressionless. His every gesture and word seemed to be just a person who was extremely protective of his shortcomings!

Who could have imagined that he might be secretly planning such an earth-shattering event? It's really hard to guard against.

Mu Lanfeng suddenly realized.

When I saw Li Shanglu this morning, I thought he was either taking the opportunity to test me, or he was looking for someone?

At this moment, it gradually became clear in her mind, and she felt that Li Shanglu's actions were truly unfathomable.

She underestimated Li Shanglu!

"Eunuch, there is one thing that Lanfeng does not understand. I hope you can help me solve it." After Mu Lanfeng finished speaking, she raised her white hand and slowly took out a crystal clear pearl from her sleeve and calmly put it into Eunuch Chen's hand.

Then he raised his eyes, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked softly: "Lan Feng is just a weak woman. To His Royal Highness King Cheng, she is neither a threat nor a help at all. But I don't know why she..."

Eunuch Chen had a smile on his face. He slowly extended an index finger and placed it lightly on his lips. He narrowed his eyes slightly and signaled to Mu Lanfeng not to say anything.

Then, he carefully examined the oriental pearl in his hand, his eyes showing undisguised love, and he kept praising it, exclaiming: "This is a good thing! It is really a rare good thing!"

Seeing that the eunuch in front of him was actually keeping a secret, he had a faint smile on his lips, his triangular eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a bit of cunning, and his eyes seemed to say "I won't tell you, you'll be anxious to death."

Although Mu Lanfeng was anxious, he had no choice but to suppress his temper and wait quietly, hoping that the eunuch would tell the truth sooner and stop being so mysterious.

"Then I wonder if Fifth Miss could answer a question for us?" Eunuch Chen suddenly opened his lips and said.

The voice was a bit shrill, and it seemed particularly abrupt in this slightly quiet atmosphere.

Mu Lanfeng was slightly startled, then his expression returned to normal, and he nodded gently and said, "You can speak freely, sir. Lanfeng will tell you everything you know."

She was secretly alert in her heart, knowing that the question asked by Eunuch Chen at this time must not be that simple. It might be related to King Cheng's plans. She had to respond carefully and must not fall into the verbal trap he set.

Seeing this, Eunuch Chen's eyes flashed, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. He slowly said: "Fifth Miss, I heard that you are always very smart and have a good insight into the various forces in the capital. So I want to ask, if one day the situation in the capital changes drastically, what choice will you make?"

After saying that, he stared at Mu Lanfeng closely, as if trying to find out some clues from her expression.

Mu Lanfeng was shocked, but she remained calm. After a brief thought, she replied calmly, "You are joking, eunuch. Lanfeng is just a girl who only knows about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and embroidery. How can she understand the situation in the capital and the forces of all parties? As for the choice, Lanfeng only hopes that her family will be safe and that she can guard this little world. The rest is not something Lanfeng can consider."

After hearing this, Eunuch Chen snorted softly, and his snort was full of disdain and disbelief. His face, which was already shrewd, was now even more wrinkled, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Mu Lanfeng's answer.

But he did not continue to ask this question. Instead, he rolled his eyes and his expression instantly became nonchalant, as if the previous tension had never happened.

He said slowly, "Fifth Miss, do you know where the King of Yan is now?"

Although the words were light, the eyes were once again fixed on Mu Lanfeng, with an unquestionable sense of oppression in them.

Mu Lanfeng's heart tightened again. Li Zeqi's whereabouts had always been secretive, so how could she know?

But since Eunuch Chen asked this, he must have some plan. She took a deep breath, still maintaining a gentle and weak look on her face, and shook her head gently and said, "Eunuch, Lan Feng really doesn't know where His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is. Lan Feng has lived in seclusion for a long time and rarely goes out, so she knows very little about the outside world."

There was just the right amount of grievance in her voice and her eyes were full of helplessness, hoping to dispel Eunuch Chen's doubts once again.

Judging from the current situation, Li Zeqi must not be in Prince Yan's Mansion, and his whereabouts are unknown!
