Shen Jingyi looked at Ning Wan, who spoke very firmly, and asked, "Why do you think I brought you here?"
Ning Wan was no longer surprised by Shen Jingyi's inexplicable change of subject.
Ning Wan looked at Shen Jingyi, who looked calm and composed: "I don't know, and this princess doesn't want to know."
Rejected again, Shen Jingyi looked at Ning Wan who was sitting not far away, "That thing is in this room, right?"
Shen Jingyi's fingers tapped the table rhythmically.
Her mood had been off since she entered the princess's mansion.
Especially when approaching this bedroom.
If what he had just said was just his guess, then her reaction when he mentioned the phoenix hairpin was definitely true.
He was so excited, probably because this place was where the phoenix hairpin was hidden.
I have to say that the old emperor was really good to his children.
Even when his son became emperor, he did not forget to keep a trump card for his daughter.
A mere phoenix golden hairpin, made by a special person, is actually no different from the tiger talisman that commands the three armies, and its status is even higher than that of the tiger talisman.
"Princess, why are you so excited? If you really don't want to talk about it, I won't force you."
But before Ning Wan could catch her breath, Shen Jingyi made his next move.
"Come here, search for me!" Shen Jingyi ordered the guards brought from outside while paying attention to Ning Wan's expression.
Trying to grasp any clues.
It's just a pity.
Ning Wan is a talented actress.
Just as Shen Jingyi said he wanted to search, Ning Wan quickly stood up and said, "How dare you! This princess wants to see who dares."
Although Ning Wan was a princess of the previous dynasty, these guards were also from the previous dynasty.
For a moment, he was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do as he looked at Shen Jingyi who was as steady as a rock.
And Shen Jingyi just smiled and said, "Princess, be good, otherwise you won't be a princess anymore."
Ning Wan choked at the threatening words, but she quickly reacted, "This is my boudoir after all. I won't tolerate your insolence."
Ning Wan's momentum was much weaker this time, but she still persisted.
His panicked eyes were filled with fear, as if he was afraid of something terrible.
Ning Wan's demeanor pleased Shen Jingyi.
He waved his hand, signaling the men to continue.
"Princess, you are truly a forgetful person. Don't worry, they won't dare to act recklessly while I'm here."
Shen Jingyi was clearly using his status to pressure others, but Ning Wan had nothing to say.
He could only sit anxiously on a chair beside him, staring fiercely at the guards who were searching for things.
A cup of tea passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, another stick of incense came.
The guards' search area became smaller and smaller.
And Shen Jingyi's face became darker and darker.
"Host, your acting is amazing!" Xiao Qi proudly praised his host.
Ning Wan wanted to laugh after being praised, but she thought of Shen Jingyi still being there, so she had to hold it back.
But in Shen Jingyi's eyes, this forbearing expression became the helplessness of being afraid of being discovered but unable to stop it.
Therefore, Shen Jingyi was sure that the thing was indeed in this room.
But Shen Jingyi only guessed one thing right.
The thing was indeed in the room, but to be more specific, it was in Ning Wan's hands.
Even if Shen Jingyi turned the entire hall upside down, he would not be able to find the so-called Phoenix Golden Hairpin.
Ning Wan looked at Shen Jingyi restlessly, "If I say no, then it's gone. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
He turned around after saying that, looking as if he didn't want to pay attention to Shen Jingyi.
Shen Jingyi frowned when he saw Ning Wan's attitude, clenched his palms slightly, and then loosened them again.
"Ning Mu went to the border with Wu Qi." Shen Jingyi suddenly said.
"The tiger talisman is in Wu Qi's hands." Before Ning Wan could guess Shen Jingyi's intention, Shen Jingyi blew himself up.
Ning Wan still didn't turn around, but leaned sideways, unwilling to communicate with Shen Jingyi.
Seeing that Ning Wan had no interest in talking to him, Shen Jingyi fell silent for a moment.
After a while, the guards had searched every place they could, and they only had to dig three feet into the ground.
"Your Majesty, ... no." The leading guard reported truthfully.
Ning Wan visibly breathed a sigh of relief. "I've already told you there's no such thing as a phoenix hairpin. What's the point of you pestering me?"
Hearing this, Shen Jingyi's eyes darkened: "Really?"
The extremely cold voice fell into Ning Wan's ears, making everyone present feel their hair stand on end.
"You've already searched, could this princess still lie to you?"
Ning Wan stood up and said unhappily, suppressing her guilty conscience, "Do you think I'm deliberately hiding the things and not giving them to you?"
Ning Wan felt that Shen Jingyi's eyes on her were like needles, making her feel uncomfortable.
But Ning Wan didn't want to fulfill Shen Jingyi's wish.
In the eyes of people like Shen Jingyi, with a heart rate of 60%, he is still someone who can be given up at will.
The reason why he can tolerate himself now is mostly because he still has something he can use.
Shen Jingyi listened to this, his expression became even more indifferent: "It's better if the princess doesn't have it."
After saying that, he stood up.
He really had no evidence that Ning Wan took the Phoenix Hairpin.
According to his investigation, the gold hairpin should have been in this room.
As for Ning Wan, he was absolutely sure whether the man was dead before or after his body was taken over by the wild ghost.
Unless the thief who entered the princess's mansion before was Ning Wan.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingyi walked towards Ning Wan without hesitation, and then quickly grasped Ning Wan's wrist.
Place your fingers on the meridians at your wrist.
"Let me go!" Ning Wan was caught off guard and became agitated. She tried to use all her strength to throw Shen Jingyi away.
"Host, please don't use your internal energy." Xiao Qi suddenly spoke.
Ning Wan's heart, which was about to use his internal energy, also calmed down.
Xiao Qi: If I had known this earlier, I would have given the host a different skill. With such little internal energy, compared with the male protagonist, it is like an egg hitting a stone.
"Stop it!" Unlike before, Shen Jingyi's tone this time was really bad, and Ning Wan was stunned where she was.
She looked at Shen Jingyi who was pinching her wrist innocently and fragilely, and said aggrievedly: "You pinched me and hurt me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyi lowered his eyes to glance at Ning Wan, who had even forgotten to address him as a respectful title, and loosened his grip a little.
Not long after, Shen Jingyi stopped his actions.
He had just used his internal energy to explore Ning Wan's body, and found that Ning Wan did not have any internal energy, and there was no sign of martial arts training in this body.
Not only has he never practiced, his physical condition is extremely poor.
Ning Wan didn't know what Shen Jingyi had done just now. She just loosened her grip on Shen Jingyi a little and then struggled cautiously again.
Shen Jingyi released Ning Wan's wrist, leaving behind clearly visible finger marks on her white wrist.
Without waiting for Shen Jingyi to observe, Ning Wan immediately covered it with her sleeves and muttered "lecher" in a low voice.
