Chapter 26 No need to be guilty
  "So what does the prince want to do with me now?"

Ning Muqing's calm eyes fell on Chu Lixuan, looking up and down with scrutiny.

"I asked you something, but you didn't answer and you asked me back. Those who didn't know thought that I was the prisoner." Chu Lixuan sneered.

He calmly took out a piece of light pink cloth from behind and placed it in front of Du Yueqing, "See if you recognize this thing."

Ning Muqing was shocked!
  This is the piece of clothing she tore off when Chu Lixuan was treating him!
  Did he know something?

"I don't know." Ning Muqing said calmly without any trace of panic on her face.

"Are you sure you don't know her?" Chu Lixuan's scrutinizing eyes stayed on Ning Muqing and said meaningfully, "Look carefully before answering my question."

"..."

Ning Muqing always had a bad feeling in her heart.

She is now trapped in a dungeon, and her every move is being watched.

Chu Lixuan was even more thoughtful and could not allow her to slack off in the slightest.

Fortunately, Ning Muqing now has the Love Flower Gu to protect her life, so Chu Lixuan dare not touch her for the time being. She looked down at the cloth in Chu Lixuan's hand, the expression on her face changed unpredictably. She suddenly realized it, and she was confused the next time.

Walking around the interrogation room.

The brazier reflected Ning Muqing's figure on the wall, the candlelight swayed, and the woman's slender figure danced around in the eyeballs. With the changing expressions, people couldn't help but look forward to what she was going to say.

Chu Lixuan is waiting.

Waiting for Ning Muqing's answer.

However, Ning Muqing kept going back and forth for more than a dozen times without any intention of speaking.

Chu Lixuan was a little impatient while waiting. He frowned deeply, "Ning Muqing, what are you doing?"

"Ah?" Ning Muqing raised her head with an innocent look on her face, "Your Majesty asked me to see it clearly before answering your question. I am thinking carefully so as not to slacken on Your Majesty's instructions."

"You!" Chu Lixuan couldn't help but feel angry.

When did this woman become so cunning!

There was a cold light in his long eyes, and he looked at Ning Muqing steadily, his tone mixed with pressure and wind, "Now tell me your answer."

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, I don't know." Ning Muqing threw the cloth in her hand back to Chu Lixuan and said coldly, "Although I, Ning Muqing, have many crimes on my body now, everyone in the palace regards me as I'm a thorn in the side, and I'm really annoying, but don't try to frame anything on my head, I've never seen this piece of cloth."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "Of course, if the prince wants to pin unfounded charges on me, there is nothing I can do about it as a little backyard woman."

Ning Muqing said this on purpose.

She couldn't reveal in front of Chu Lixuan that she saved him.

With Chu Lixuan's ingenuity, he would probably follow the clues and find out more things, which might even lead to the exposure of the medicine cauldron, which would undoubtedly be very dangerous for Ning Muqing.

and so--

Let the "mysterious doctor" take all the responsibility for saving people.

Chu Lixuan raised his sword eyebrows and said tentatively, "With me here, no one will frame you. You only need to answer my questions truthfully."

He calmly put away the cloth in his hand, "This is about my savior. If she can find this person, I will satisfy any of her demands. If you have any clues, this palace will be at your disposal from now on."

It is undeniable that the conditions offered by Chu Lixuan are very tempting.

If the former 'Ning Muqing' would have immediately jumped out and revealed her identity, Chu Lixuan was taking advantage of 'Ning Muqing's' attribute of greed and vanity to induce her to 'tell the truth'.

However, all Ning Muqing saw was the endless danger after being exposed.

No one saw her saving Chu Lixuan that day.

This means there is no witness. The only physical evidence Chu Lixuan has now is the corner of her clothes torn from her body.

But who can prove that she has ever worn this dress?
  "The prince has already concluded that I have clues? Are you anxious to find me for trial?" Ning Muqing narrowed her eyes.

Chu Lixuan asked with a sarcastic smile, "What do you think?"

"I have to admit that the conditions offered by the prince are very tempting. I also really want to help the prince. The glory and wealth are at my fingertips. This is what everyone wants, but I really don't know anything."

Ning Muqing's attitude was firm and her voice was cold.

Chu Lixuan saw through Ning Muqing's thoughts, "Can't you trust me?"

"Your Majesty, do you think I should believe you?" Ning Muqing looked directly at Chu Lixuan, "After reaching the agreement not to torture me, your subordinates turned around and whipped me. The trust level is already zero, don’t say I don’t know any clues at all, even if I knew I wouldn’t dare tell you.”

Chu Lixuan's face was gloomy, "You mean that the king broke his promise and ordered his men to torture you?"

"That's not true. After all, it won't be of any benefit to you. The scars on my body are also reflected on you." Ning Muqing had a dark light in her eyes and hit the nail on the head, "But you seem to want to take advantage of me now. What was dug up?"

Chu Lixuan's eyes were as deep as a cold pool, and the unpredictable cold light fell on Ning Muqing, silent.

"I'm just a very ordinary housewife who doesn't understand anything. I'm superficial, vulgar, shameless, low-level, and vain. The savior the prince mentioned has nothing to do with me. Even if there are clues, he shouldn't On my body."

Ning Muqing said calmly.

The image of 'Ning Muqing' is deeply ingrained in the eyes of everyone in the palace and Chu Lixuan.

She only needed to use this persona to show that she had nothing to do with any "miracle doctor", and Chu Lixuan had nothing to do with her.

But if Chu Lixuan has determined that this matter has something to do with her, he must dig something out of her.

Ning Muqing could only think of another strategy.

However, Ning Muqing always felt that although Chu Lixuan was cold, arrogant, and unkind, and he also hated 'Ning Muqing', he would still pay attention to a complete chain of evidence before convicting him. Deadheaded.

When dealing with stupid people, you have to be tough. Once she shows weakness, she will bully them unscrupulously.

When dealing with a smart person like Chu Lixuan, in addition to being careful not to give the other party any leverage, you also have to show weakness appropriately.

Chu Lixuan saw through Ning Muqing's thoughts at a glance, "Are you belittling yourself to stop me from continuing to ask?"

"I'm just telling the truth. Aren't I just such a woman in the eyes of the prince? I'm afraid the prince doesn't think that I can see any clues in such a stupid head, right?"

Ning Muqing was very calm.

Chu Lixuan contemplated with cold eyes, and had to deny that she had guessed correctly again.

"Then, look into my eyes now and tell me your answer again." Chu Lixuan said coldly.

Ning Muqing's eyes suddenly froze when she met Chu Lixuan.

Chu Lixuan slowly approached Ning Muqing, staring at her without blinking, and slowly leaned down.

According to modern height, Chu Lixuan is at least about 188cm tall, with wide shoulders and narrow waist. His tall figure completely surrounded her, which was extremely oppressive.

Ning Muqing was shrouded in the shadow of the man and watched intently as his handsome face approached, as cold as a blade.

The cold pool of cold eyes is deep and charming. He is a natural hunter. As a prey, Ning Muqing smells a strong smell of danger.

Ning Muqing's breath froze and she subconsciously stepped back.

Her spine hit the cold wall, and all the ways around her were blocked by Chu Lixuan, making her unable to retreat.

Ning Muqing's brain was racing, and with a flash of inspiration, she suddenly thought of a perfect reason.

"I suddenly remembered that I saw a woman in pink clothes passing by the door of your yard."
