Chapter 47: Honey Trap

In the thick night, at such a close distance, Ling Qingyan could see his expression clearly.

Mu Xianzhi did not lie.

As he said, he had not deceived himself.

She was not worth his trouble to disguise himself. At night, Mu Xianzhi took off all his outer shells.

It seems that he pretends to be tired during the day, and in the dark, he always lets himself go.

Killing, vicious, and cruel.

Ling Qingyan believed it.

"I believe you. As long as you say it, I will believe it." Perhaps because she was used to it, Ling Qingyan's words were coaxing.

Then Ling Qingyan felt something was wrong. Mansheng was missing, and she was still flirting with him?

Out of date!

Mu Xianzhi was amused by her words. Although there was a hint of perfunctoriness in the girl's tone, he was extremely generous and ignored that perfunctory part.

I was in a good mood and was willing to help her.

"However, I should be able to guess why she brought trouble upon herself." Mu Xianzhi piqued Ling Qingyan's interest.

"What is it?" Ling Qingyan asked him anxiously.

Mu Xianzhi must have some information that he doesn’t know, very important information.

"Hmm..." Mu Xianzhi lowered his eyebrows and smiled at the somewhat anxious beauty.

The beauty seemed dissatisfied with his hesitation, "Go ahead, Mu Xianzhi!"

Ling Qingyan felt that the later she was, the more danger Chen Mansheng would be in.

"Don't be impatient, Your Highness. You should at least give me some reward for asking me for information, especially such confidential information." What Mu Xianzi said was absolutely true. Not many people knew about that matter, and he shouldn't have told the girl about it.

But perhaps it was the girl's arrival that aroused his interest tonight, and he didn't mind telling the girl about it.

After all, many of the things he did were impulsive and on a whim.

"I'll give you whatever price this information is worth." Ling Qingyan was extremely generous and magnanimous.

Mu Xianzhi chuckled twice, as if he found the girl's reaction very amusing. His voice was filled with tenderness. "No, Your Highness, this information is too expensive. You can't afford it."

Ling Qingyan's eyebrows furrowed.

Who are you looking down on?

She suspected that Mu Xianzhi was deliberately keeping her hanging, and Ling Qingyan raised the corners of her lips in a beautiful arc.

The tender, white fingers climbed up Mu Xianzhi's hand, one by one, alternating between them, like a little person slowly climbing up. Her finger movements were light and soft, unscrupulously seducing with a certain meaning.

Mu Xianzhi fixed his eyes on the finger, his body tensed like a string, but he did not stop the girl's actions.

The girl's fingers slowly climbed up Mu Xianzhi's collarbone. The man's collarbone was prominent, and Ling Qingyan pressed below the collarbone.

When her skin was touched, Mu Xianzhi felt his whole body tremble and his Adam's apple rolled slightly, but he still did not stop the girl's presumptuous actions.

Ling Qingyan continued to move up along the collarbone and touched Mu Xianzhi's Adam's apple.

Mu Xianzhi's whole body stiffened, and his dark eyes as he looked at her seemed to be brewing some danger.

As their eyes met, Ling Qingyan's love for Mu Xianzhi began to rise.

She actually had no intention of coming here to win over Mu Xianzhi or increase his love value today. Now that things have come to this, it can be considered an unexpected success.

In Mu Xianzhi's dangerous mood, Ling Qingyan suddenly pulled out her hand, and almost in an instant, her lips touched the man's Adam's apple.

Mu Xianzhi only felt a loud bang, and something collapsed in his brain. The danger in his eyes had turned into reality, and he grabbed the girl in his arms.

Ling Qingyan seemed unaware of the danger she was in, and boldly looked him in the eye: "Is that enough, Master?"

"Can you tell Qingyan the news?" Ling Qingyan's tender white fingers circled Mu Xianzhi's chest, like a seductive fairy.

"The honey trap." Mu Xianzhi had told them a story about this when he was teaching them. A smile lingered in his voice. "That worked well."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master." The girl raised her lips in response.

On a moonlit night, a girl in black was hugged by a man in black. Neither of them was dressed like decent people. Their postures were ambiguous, but the words they said sounded like a teacher praising his students.

"Your Highness, this is still not enough." Mu Xianzhi's smile deepened, but his grip on her waist tightened, as if he wanted her to escape. "But if Your Highness can talk to me in bed, I'm willing to share all the secrets I know."

Mu Xianzhi is like a hunter who lures his prey into a trap, tempting it with huge profits, and wants to eat it up completely.

Ling Qingyan still had a smile on her face, as if she didn't regard herself as a prey, nor did she regard the other party as a danger.

In a very light tone, he said, "Master, you are overstepping your bounds."

The girl's voice was very soft, and what she said didn't sound like an accusation against the man opposite her, but more like a flirtation between the two of them.

"Then I beg Your Highness to have mercy on me?" Mu Xianzhi's voice was filled with laughter.

"Your Highness, I know many people's secrets, not just Miss Chen's, but also the Crown Prince's and Pei Zhizi's. There is no shortage of people with secrets in the capital. Your Highness, don't you want to know what those people are hiding from you?"

The man's words were seductive, trying to lure the girl into a trap.

"And, Your Highness, you started the fire. Now that it's started, you can't be irresponsible." The man stretched out his voice. "Besides, Your Highness, entering my house alone at night is inherently dangerous."

Something in the air seemed to be ignited.

Mu Xianzi was not a good person to begin with, nor was he like Liu Xiahui who could remain calm in the face of temptation. He could not resist the girl's temptation and had no intention of letting her go.

"Alas." The girl sighed, her eyes full of purity and innocence, "Master Mu is not a lustful person."

"Then you really don't know the Grand Tutor well enough." Mu Xianzhi said.

The two of them went back and forth like this, and finally Ling Qingyan leaned close to Mu Xianzhi's ear and whispered something.

Mu Xianzhi's face froze, and the excitement in his eyes turned into dejection.

"I can go to bed with the Master tonight and tell him about the news."

"But Mu Xianzhi, I'm on my period, so don't even think about transgressing your authority."

Of course Ling Qingyan knew what kind of person Mu Xianzhi was. If she didn't have an excuse to refuse today, would she dare to cause trouble in Mu Xianzhi's territory?

In the end, Mu Xianzhi really couldn't do anything with her, and the two of them didn't really go to bed and talk.

"Oh, I really don't want to be a good person."

Mu Xianzhi was really forced to be a gentleman tonight.

"Your Highness, have you heard of the corrupt official Liang Heng from the previous dynasty?" Mu Xianzhi asked.

Ling Qingyan shook her head.

She didn't find this name in the original owner's memory.

Then Mu Xianzhi taught her and answered her questions as if he was Mu Taifu again.

"Not long ago, I learned that Chen Mansheng's biological father, Duke Chen, was a descendant of the treacherous minister Liang Heng of the previous dynasty. So, you were right to see me on guard in Duke Chen's mansion. I really didn't have any good intentions."
