Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort Chapter 1072

A crush? After the word came out from Ning Zheyan's head, she immediately retracted her hand, and quickly stood up and turned her back.

What kind of joke was this? Was there any woman in this world that Ning Zheyan would like?

He had a crush on a married woman, that was nonsense.

Ning Zheyan seemed to have calmed down a lot, as her emotions slowly calmed down. But after calming down, she started to think more deeply.

Once again, he turned his head to look at Ai Lin who was lying on the bed.

Looking at Ai Lin's clear and beautiful face.

She was not an unparalleled beauty, but she was one that gave off a very refreshing vibe. It was a very comfortable and thought-provoking feeling.

When one thought of the words gentle spiritual energy in the future, the first thing one thought of was this face.

However, he really didn't know her, and he had never seen her before.

Even if they had met before, he should not have felt such familiarity and sorrow.

Ning Zheyan stood in front of the candle flame that was as big as a bean and thought for a long time.

It might have something to do with the medicine he took daily. Ever since he took that pill, his personality had become strange and unfathomable.

His mind suddenly became like a woman's, and he really needed someone's care.

Sometimes he would even lose his temper for no reason, but after a while he would be better again.

Mu Jin had told him before that this medicine could temporarily maintain the condition of his body, but it had side effects.

And Mu Jin had also said that his personality had become unstable, that he would lose his temper uncontrollably, and then, for some baffling reason, he would develop a sense of reliance on a person. He would feel lonely, and would need someone to accompany him.

However, Mu Jin did not tell him that the side effects of the medicine gave rise to this baffling feeling.

If Mu Jin knew that he was very familiar with his empress and that he really wanted to get close to her, he wondered whether Mu Jin would immediately stop the drug and let him pack up his things before he could immediately leave the Imperial Palace.

Hehe... Ning Zheyan lightly pursed his lips, and suddenly smiled.

Ning Zheyan leisurely turned around and walked next to Ai Lin's bed. She slightly lifted her pointed chin with an extremely beautiful curve.

Ai Lin was always afraid of the cold, so whenever winter came, she would fall asleep in Mu Jin's embrace. Now that Mu Jin was not by his side and there was no heat coming from his side, Ai Lin frowned, moved her body, and leaned out of the bed.

As for the sleeping Ai Lin, she had no idea that she was sleeping on the outside, and since her body could not feel the warmth, she continued to sleep on the outside.

The blanket that was covering Ai Lin also slid down from the bed. Ning Zheyan just stood like this, watching from the side with his hands hanging down to her sides. She looked like she was nonchalantly patting her body with his hands, but in her heart, she really wanted to pick up the blanket on the floor and then carry Ai Lin, who was sleeping on the outside, back to the inside of the bed.

He was also worried that Ai Lin would directly flip over and fall from her bed.

Then, the thing that Ning Zheyan was worried about still happened. As expected, Ai Lin once again moved towards the outside, and the upper half of her body was suspended in the air.

Ning Zheyan immediately caught it quickly, and at the same time, the candles that had been burnt out extinguished.

"Ahh …" The moment Ai Lin's head was caught by Ning Zheyan, Ai Lin woke up and cried out softly, but she was still in a daze.

Just like that, while allowing Ning Zheyan to hug him, as if her entire body was exhausted of energy, she continued to sleep.

This was because in Ai Lin's impression, Mu Jin would definitely carry her back to bed. However, she would never think about why Mu Jin would still be standing at her bedside even though the lights were out.

But very quickly, a strange smell transmitted from his nose, causing Ai Lin to wake up.

He sat up. "Who are you?"

Ning Zheyan immediately covered Ai Lin's mouth with her hands, and before Ai Lin could react, her hand quickly slashed Ai Lin's neck, causing Ai Lin to faint.

After Ning Zheyan covered Ai Lin with her quilt again.

He started to panic.

Mu Jin would definitely find out that it was him.

What if he refused to admit it when he died? Or directly turn himself in to Mu Jin?

But it was really strange, how could he appear fl.u.s.tered when Ai Lin woke up, and then resolutely knock Ai Lin out?

That shouldn't be the case, before this, he should have been very relaxed and smiled to stop Ai Lin from making any sound, allowing others to notice it.

But, why did he knock Ai Lin out just now?

Was he afraid of being a thief?

No, he had done so many things, when had he ever felt guilty?

He was afraid that Mu Jin would find out.

After all, in the middle of the night, he took advantage of Mu Jin's absence to rush to his imperial harem, to the side of his most beloved woman's bed.

If he said he was just here to take a look, he wouldn't do anything.

Would Mu Jin believe it?

He would definitely skin him alive.

Otherwise … He said he was the one who came looking for him, but he wasn't there.

That would not do, without Mu Jin's order, he could not leave the plum garden casually.

Ning Zheyan was extremely anxious, she couldn't possibly kill all of them right?

In the end, Ning Zheyan just needed to bite the bullet and light the candle on the table, then wake Ai Lin up again.

"Empress, don't speak for the moment. The reason I came here is because … This young master was just sleepwalking. " Ning Zheyan looked at the Ai Lin who had woken up, and in the blink of an eye, he made up a perfect reason.

Ai Lin reached out her hand to touch the neck that had been broken by Ning Zheyan, then wrapped herself tightly with the blanket. She then looked at the palace maid who had collapsed on the ground.

"That was also caused by my sleepwalking …" Ning Zheyan biting off more than she could chew was just a dream.

"Is Young Master Ning awake now?" She had seen through Ning Zheyan's lies with a single glance.

Ning Zheyan nodded her head, "Just now, a cold wind blew and this young master woke up. It was all my dream, I hope the Empress will not take offense to it, and I also hope that the Empress can keep this a secret. After all, sleepwalking is one of my hidden ailments, and it is not good for others to find out."

The meaning was, esteemed empress, pretend like nothing happened and don't tell Mu Jin about it. Those people who pa.s.sed out in the palace, please seal their mouths for now.

Ai Lin looked at Ning Zheyan, who was like a fiendish demon, and then, his clear and melodious voice came out of his lips, "Young Master Ning, I will not tell Mu Jin about this matter. You can go back."

As expected of a smart woman, she immediately understood his intentions.

However, his curiosity and doubt of Ai Lin had grown deeper and deeper.

She was like a quagmire. After stepping in with her first leg, she would never be able to pull it out and would only sink deeper and deeper into the pit.

Ning Zheyan revealed a smile, she caressed her sleeves and lowered her head, "This young n.o.ble will now thank the Empress."

He then took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, "This is a gift I prepared for the little princess. Although it's not some priceless treasure, it's still unique to the world. When the little princess grows up, I'll protect her."
