This villain has become a ghost

Afternoon, South Study.

Classic scrolls are neatly arranged on the mahogany bookshelves. Wall paintings are elegantly painted. Bronze incense burners wisp the air with curling smoke.

Yue Liuyun dismissed all the serving palace maids and eunuchs, and sat down on a chair exhausted, her eyelids drooping.

She looked at the piles of memorials with despair.

Wildfires cannot be extinguished, and they will spring up again when the wind blows.

After an incense stick of time, the ministers will come here for further discussions.

Thinking of this, Yue Liuyun had to cheer up again.

Nangong Mingzhu stared at her thoughtfully, his eyes full of meaning: "You seem to trust King Xuan and General Song very much."

The matter of food and fodder was the result of their discussion, and with Yue Liuyun's perspective, it avoided many detours compared to the original novel. Under the current circumstances, entrusting this matter to King Xuan and others was the best option.

But he always felt that Yue Liuyun had a natural trust in Nangong Qianshang and Song Haotian.

This sense of trust even went far beyond him.

After hearing his words, Yue Liuyun was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became serious: "You are right, it is my fault."

When reading the book "Records of the Great Ying", I put myself in the perspective of the male and female protagonists. Now that she is a villain, she subconsciously trusts the male protagonist and others.

She took it for granted.

This is a real and tangible world that cannot be described in a few words in a book. It is huge and full of variables, and we must act with caution.

She can't trust anyone.

Yue Liuyun took a deep breath and said to Nangong Mingzhu, "Thank you for the reminder."

Nangong Mingzhu didn't expect that she would immediately admit that it was her problem. In addition to surprise, admiration appeared in his eyes.

I have to say that Yue Liuyun is indeed a good ally.

but……

He said with a half-smile, "Your friend Liu Mang is probably not doing well right now. Is this what you call a test?"

"No rush," Yue Liuyun showed a strange smile, rubbed his temples with two fingers, and said meaningfully, "Someone will come to save him."

She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she smiled happily and glanced at the top of Nangong Mingzhu's head.

-

Shangxian Palace.

Qiu Shuangwan was lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, and a young palace maid was giving her a massage.

The little palace maid couldn't stop sighing.

Our queen doesn't care about her image at all. It's such a waste of this beautiful face.

Qiu Shuangwan was so comfortable with the massage that she couldn't help but feel sleepy. She said lazily, "Yuqing, you go down first. I'm tired."

In the past few days, I felt very ashamed to call myself "this palace" at the beginning, but now I have become very proficient and immersed in the role.

Upon hearing this, Yuqing obediently retreated.

Feeling deeply sleepy, Qiu Shuangwan slowly closed her eyes.

Little did they know that the moment Yuqing reached the palace gate, all the palace maids, eunuchs and guards fell unconscious at once.

The air was filled with a faint sweet fragrance.

There was dead silence in Shangxian Palace.

A man dressed in eunuch's clothes jumped down from the beam.

He approached Qiu Shuangwan silently, his eyes were cold and he held a sharp dagger in his hand.

The dagger gleamed coldly as it stabbed straight into Qiu Shuangwan's throat!

At this moment, a sharp sword wind blew, and the sword blade appeared from behind the assassin, cutting off the dagger, and another sword slashed at the assassin's wrist.

The assassin was shocked, but reacted very quickly, dodging sideways and taking a few steps back.

He saw a handsome man in blue clothes, holding a sword in his hand, staring at him intently, with murderous intent in his eyes.

After seeing him, the assassin's pupils constricted!

It was him...

General Qisha of Zhennan, Xia Ruzhi!

This is the palace of the concubines. How could a general like him be here?

No, I have to go back and report to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The assassin gritted his teeth and fled at an extremely fast speed.

Xia Ruozhi didn't think about chasing her, but his heart and eyes were completely focused on Qiu Shuangwan, and the heartache in his eyes was about to overflow.

He patted her thin shoulder gently and said softly, "Shuang'er... Shuang'er! Are you okay?"

The effect of the drug wore off quickly.

Qiu Shuang woke up late in the evening and opened her sleepy eyes. Her bright eyes, like cutting water, seemed to be shrouded in mist, making her look adorable.

Xia Ruozhi's heart moved.

Qiu Shuangwan felt a lump in her heart.

Oh my god, isn't this a harem? How did a strange man suddenly break in?

And he looked at her so lovingly!

Qiu Shuangwan was horrified and even moved a little further away from him: "Who are you?!"

Xia Ruozhi was stunned at first, then heartbroken, and said in a trembling voice: "Shuang'er, I am Ruozhi, you... don't you remember me?"

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

Qiu Shuangwan: "You are mentally retarded, I can see that."

Wait, what did he say his name was? Xia Ruzhi...

Seven Killing General Xia Ruozhi?!

Qiu Shuangwan was shocked.

There is not much description of Qiu Shuangwan in "Records of the Great Ying". Apart from her stunning beauty, the only thing that impressed him was that Qiu Shuangwan had a childhood sweetheart.

This childhood sweetheart is none other than Xia Ruzhi!

When the late emperor was alive, the Xia family and the Qiu family had a close relationship. Qiu Shuangwan and Xia Ruzhi grew up together and had a deep friendship, and they almost got married secretly.

Afterwards, the Qiu family was impeached for corruption and some were beheaded, some had their property confiscated, and some were exiled. The eldest princess took Qiu Shuangwan in to save her from becoming a prostitute.

After Nangong Mingzhu ascended the throne, Qiu Shuangwan entered the palace and became a chess piece of the eldest princess in order to repay her kindness.

He didn't know whether Qiu Shuangwan liked Xia Ruzhi or not, but Xia Ruzhi definitely liked Qiu Shuangwan very much.

When she thought of this, Qiu Shuangwan felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

Help me, he is a grown man, is he really going to have an ambiguous relationship with another man? This is outrageous!

No one can always break through the defense, unless you are Liu Mang.

Xia Ruozhi ignored his ugly expression, overwhelmed by love, and only heard his words "I can see that", and couldn't help but feel extremely happy.

But after a few seconds of happiness, his expression gradually dimmed again, and he said, "Shuang'er, I have received a mission this time to escort food and fodder to the border. I won't be back for a long time..."

"I came here to say goodbye to you."

Qiu Shuangwan's eyes lit up and she cheered inwardly.

Is there such a good thing?

Oh yeah!

Qiu Shuangwan coughed lightly, pretending to be serious, and said, "Uh, well, be careful."

Xia Ruozhi said affectionately: "Shuang'er, I know that you still care about me."

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

Are all people who are in love so imaginative?

Xia Ruozhi gradually restrained her smile and looked at him affectionately.

Qiu Shuangwan's scalp tingled from being stared at, and she avoided his gaze.

Help, help, help...

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Ruozhi sighed self-deprecatingly, his tone tinged with sadness. "Forget it. I know this is all my wishful thinking."

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

As long as you know.

Everyone says that three women can make a play, but I think you, a man, can also make a play.

"Today, someone wants to kill you," Xia Ruozhi said solemnly, his expression becoming serious. "After I leave, you must be careful."

"What?!" Qiu Shuangwan was shocked.

In broad daylight, in the clearest light of day, how could someone openly come to the concubine's palace to assassinate the favored concubine?!

The guards in this palace are too lax, aren't they?!

Xia Ruozhi raised his hand and wanted to touch her hair, but Qiu Shuangwan dodged it.

Xia Ruozhi withdrew his empty hand, his expression gloomy, but he forced a bitter smile: "You said that you have fallen in love with the emperor. I won't stop you, but... I hope that he can protect you."

"If you want to leave this place, tell me at any time, I will take you away at all costs."

Qiu Shuangwan: “!!!”

What does "You said you have fallen in love with the emperor" mean?!

Could it be that Qiu Shuangwan in the original novel really fell in love with the emperor?

Qiu Shuangwan was slightly absent-minded.

Little did he know that a black figure suddenly flashed past the window frame, as fast as a ghost.
