This villain has become a ghost

Why did she insist on going to Jinyintai?

Who is there?

"You, go back and report to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the rest of you continue to follow."

A wide stone staircase extends upward, the gate tower is carved with exquisite patterns, and a signboard is hung high above the door, with vigorous and powerful handwriting on it.

"Miss, please come in. Your arrival brings honor to our restaurant. Are you here for dinner or..."

Before the servant could finish his words, Yue Liuyun walked straight in, threw down his purse, and walked up the stairs without looking back.

He hurriedly took the purse, scratched his head, and muttered, "These young ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families are really hard to figure out..."

Not long after, the group of killers broke in, threw the money to the servant as well, and followed Yue Liuyun's route upstairs with a vigilant look on their faces.

The second and third floors of the restaurant are private rooms and elegant seats respectively. Yue Liuyun ran up to the second floor and looked at the tightly closed doors, feeling overwhelmed.

Tsk, where is it...

Yue Liuyun knocked on the door one by one.

"……Who are you?"

"Sorry, I went to the wrong place."

"Who is it?"

"Oops, sorry, sorry, wrong way."

"Miss, who are you?"

"I'm so sorry, I took the wrong turn."

"..."

After knocking on a few doors, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs.

Oh no, they are chasing us.

In a split second, Yue Liuyun considered whether he should jump out of the window at the end of the corridor first to save his life. After all, it was only the second floor, so he wouldn't die from the fall...

However, at this moment, the door of a private room next door opened.

A man walked out, dressed in gorgeous clothes, like a handsome young man from a painting. His eyes were clear and gentle, as deep and peaceful as a lake.

When Yue Liuyun saw his face clearly, his pupils trembled.

Depend on.

Isn't this Shen Yue...

Why is he here?

Shen Yue showed a distant smile and said calmly to Yue Liuyun:

"Miss, the way you're looking for someone... is a bit too much."

"The private rooms from here onwards are all occupied by important people. Please stop here, young lady."

"If you offend them, I may not be able to save your life..."

Are they all big shots?

It should be some court officials.

Is today a special day? What are you all doing here?

Yue Liuyun glanced back and met those gloomy and cruel gazes. The group of killers were lurking at the stairs.

They should not dare to offend Shen Yue.

She looked up at Shen Yue and said sincerely, "Sir, someone is chasing me. Can I borrow your place to hide?"

Shen Yue said softly:

"No way."

"Miss, please respect yourself."

Shen Yue was very unkind, as he maintained an attitude of not getting involved in the matter.

It’s not that Shen Yue is arrogant. He has outstanding looks and is the Taifu of the current dynasty. He is the dream lover of many women from aristocratic families in Dongdu, and is also the object that many aristocratic families want to win over.

It is said that "If there is a mistake in the song, Zhou Lang will look back." Once a woman deliberately played the wrong note to attract his attention.

This person probably regarded her as one of his many admirers.

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Have no self-respect, you fucking idiot.

Shen Yue, you are cold-blooded, ruthless, and unreasonable.

Yue Liuyun said: "Sir, it is not the behavior of a gentleman to watch someone in danger without helping..."

Shen Yue said: "Miss, you can report to the police."

"Walk slowly without sending."

Seeing that Shen Yue was about to close the door without changing his expression, Yue Liuyun quickly reached out to stop him.

Her knuckles turned white from the force, and after her mind went through many twists and turns, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Master Taifu, do you still remember the Imperial Jade Wine—"

Shen Yue: "..."

Shen Yue's pupils trembled.

Shen Yue said, "Come in."

-

The killers guarding the stairs had their brows twisted into knots. The leader looked at Yue Liuyun in surprise as he entered Shen Yue's private room.

Isn’t that the Taifu?

Isn't she General Qiming's subordinate? Why is she now associating with the Grand Tutor?

Or……

This is exactly what Yanagisawa meant...

No, I have to go back and report to His Royal Highness the Prince.

But now they haven't got the defense map. If they let it go, they will fall out with Liu Zeyin again, and it will be difficult to get it again.

But if they return empty-handed, His Royal Highness will definitely blame them...

They couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

What should I do?

After thinking for a long time, the leader's eyes darkened and he gave a low order:

"First, keep an eye on them secretly and act accordingly."

"Yes!"

-

The private room is spacious and bright, with clean windows, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and a faint fragrance in the air. It is equipped with screens, cabinets and a separate desk.

Shen Yue closed the door, slowly turned around, and looked at her thoughtfully, with complex emotions in his eyes, and a bit of surprise and curiosity.

Yue Liuyun felt like smoke was coming out of his throat, so he immediately poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he felt it was not enough, so he took the pot and poured it down his throat.

Shen Yue suddenly smiled, and twinkling lights appeared in his eyes.

He pondered for a moment and said softly:

"Are you...back?"

Yue Liuyun wiped the remaining water stains from the corners of his lips and said with a half-smile:

"Master Taifu... who do you think I am?"

Shen Yue lowered his eyebrows and smiled, his beautiful eyes filled with a hint of nostalgia and joy, and said:

"Miss Yue, how are you?"

Yue Liuyun smiled noncommittally.

Last time, he recognized the difference between her and Nangong Mingzhu at a glance, and this time he recognized her with just one sentence...

You are really worthy of it, I have to give you an award.

Shen Yue's voice was as clear as a mountain spring, with a faint smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He stared at her and said:

"I never thought that I would see you again in my lifetime..."

“…Is this your true appearance?”

The woman in front of him had a fair and pretty face, her big black and white eyes were lively and cute, with a hint of cunning, and her every move was free and easy yet dignified.

It’s not particularly beautiful, but it’s just eye-catching.

Yue Liuyun took a seat gracefully and said with a smile, "Of course, it's pure natural, pollution-free and original."

Shen Yue burst out laughing.

He paused, then asked, "When did you come back?"

Yue Liuyun said: "Not long ago."

"Then...why did you suddenly disappear?"

What exactly happened after the Renunciation Banquet mutiny? Why did Nangong Mingzhu inexplicably appear at Zhongding Mountain?

He looked at her seriously, expecting an answer from her.

Nangong Mingzhu refused to bring up this issue again, and he couldn't afford to offend the emperor and cause himself trouble. He also didn't know if Yue Liuyun was willing to tell him...

Yue Liuyun pondered and said, "This is a long story."

She smiled slightly and said, "Today is not a good time to reminisce about the past. Let's talk business first."
