C121 (1/2)

When she thought of Greenwood's words, saying that the youth was dangerous and she might not even be able to protect her own life, she subconsciously wanted to press the mechanism.

In the end, he retracted his hand and walked back to the flower bush he was hiding in uneasily.

Mo Lianjin had always suspected that she had some sort of relationship with the young man, which was why he had lied about the young man being dead.

If she were to rush in now, then the relationship between her and the young man wouldn't be hidden. Worse than that, although the young man could decide her life and death, she had no idea where the young man came from. Would he believe her if she explained it like this to Mo Lianjin?

Just as Su Li was feeling uneasy, Qing Mu and Mo Lianjin finally came out.

Their faces no longer looked as tense as before, and she heaved a sigh of relief as well. When they disappeared into the back garden, she took one last look at the fake mountain, suppressed her desire to explore it, and turned to leave.

When night fell, the entire Fifth Prince's Mansion was silent.

Lv Wu had originally wanted to stay vigil, but he did not allow her to.

She got up and left the hall quietly.

It was pitch black outside, and only the night light could be seen off in the distance.

She knew this operation was very risky, but she had always been thinking about what Greenwood had said about the youth. She just wanted to go down and check on his condition.

As he arrived at the fake mountain, Su Li hesitated for a while, but still forced himself to press the trigger.

The sound of the fake mountain moving was very soft and could be ignored.

Looking at the dark road in front of her, she clenched her teeth and walked down one step at a time.

Only after a long flight of steps had passed did light begin to appear ahead. It was a wall lamp, very yellow in color, but it could still barely reach the road.

He successfully reached the secret room. On the right, there was a concealed room.

She pricked up her ears and listened for a while. When she found nothing out of the ordinary, she moved over and slipped into the room.

There was a bed in the room, and the bedclothes were slightly raised in the shape of a human being.

This time, Su Li completely relaxed her mind and walked over. Because there was no candle flame in the room, she could not see the person's face clearly. She directly lifted the blanket and reached for his wrist, wanting to feel his pulse.

But as soon as her hand touched his wrist, the man on the bed grabbed her wrist and pulled her down.

Su Li was caught off guard and immediately threw herself into the man's embrace. The familiar cold Qi entered her nose, and her heart instantly became cold.

”Fifth Prince …”

”You really tricked This King!” Mo Lianjin clenched her wrist, and slowly said those words, clearly carried a suffocating danger.

Su Li forced out a few words, ”Really … What a coincidence! ”

”A coincidence?”

”I was unable to sleep, so I walked over here. Then, coincidentally, I found a secret passage. Out of curiosity, I …”

”Make it up, continue making it up …”

”During the day, were you and Qing Mu purposely acting for me?” She was suddenly enlightened.

The corner of Mo Lianjin's mouth moved slightly, ”This king really wants you to stay by my side, that's why … If you did not feel guilty, you would not have reached this step. ”

Su Li acknowledged her defeat, and her small face immediately fell, but she spoke with an extremely strong desire to live: ”What do you want to do?”

”Give an explanation to This King.”

”Even if I told you the truth, you wouldn't believe me.” Su Li went crazy.

”Whether or not you believe me is up to This King.” Mo Lianjin's eyes narrowed, and his voice became a bit colder.

”Actually, I don't know that youth. I only know that piece of jade, and when I was young, mother took that piece of jade out before. She told me to remember, if I meet someone who has that piece of jade in the future, I will take them as my master …”

Su Li paused for a moment, and after realizing that his emotions had not changed, he continued, ”There's a type of youth related parasite in my body, so as long as the youth dies, my life will be lost as well. I'm so concerned about his life, and the reason I'm so concerned about it is because I want to preserve my own life.”

”Gu?” Mo Lianjin's tone became calmer, and was no longer as imposing as before.

”I know it's bullshit, but that's the truth. If I'm done, will you believe me?”
