This villain has become a ghost

Shen Yue was a little disappointed, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, but he still restrained his expression, nodded slightly, and said:

"……it is good."

Let’s wait for another day.

Anyway, she is back, so there is no need to rush.

Speaking of business, he recalled what Yue Liuyun had said outside the door just now, and thought for a moment:

"My people are on the first floor. Do you need help... clearing out those 'tails' behind you?"

Yue Liuyun chuckled.

Now I believe her.

That's not what you said just now, you fickle man.

She stroked her chin, thought carefully, and said decisively:

"If they want to leave, it would be best to... kill them on the way."

"But if they are still following me secretly, then there is no need. They are still useful, so let them follow."

Although Shen Yue didn't quite understand her intention, he still ordered his subordinates to do it.

Then, he sat opposite Yue Liuyun and poured her a cup of tea. His eyebrows slightly raised, a ripple appeared in his eyes, and he said half-jokingly:

"Miss Yue, didn't you just come back not long ago? How did you offend someone so quickly? "

Yue Liuyun paused while shaking the teacup and glanced at him speechlessly.

You'd better be praising someone.

She picked out the key points and told Shen Yue the general situation and her experiences in the past few days.

The window was half open, and noisy and lively voices could be heard outside, occasionally bringing in a few wisps of breeze, neutralizing the hustle and bustle of the world.

Shen Yue's clothes fluttered in the wind, and his focused look was very pleasing to the eye. He felt a little nervous in his heart as he thought about what she had just said.

Yue Liuyun felt that he had rested enough, so he stood up, bowed formally to Shen Yue, and said solemnly:

"Today...thank you, Master Taifu, for saving my life."

Seeing this, Shen Yue shook his head helplessly, then smiled lightly and said seriously:

"No need to be so polite."

"...Well, I won't be polite then," Yue Liuyun listened carefully, a mischievous smile flashed across his face, and he said, "It just so happens...that I need a small favor from the Grand Tutor."

Shen Yue: "..."

Fine.

You're welcome. You really are.

Shen Yue was a smart kid, he understood immediately and asked:

"Are you looking for someone?"

Yue Liuyun nodded and said:

"I came here to look for General Qisha. The virtuous concubine said that he was at the Golden and Silver Terrace."

Shen Yue said thoughtfully, "In other words, you have already been to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion?"

"More than that," Yue Liuyun said with emotion, "I gained a lot and learned a lot."

Shen Yue's expression suddenly became indescribable.

He pondered for a moment, hesitating again and again before saying, "Are you sure... you want to go find General Qi Sha?"

"Is there any problem?" Yue Liuyun asked in confusion.

Qiu Shuangwan asked her to do the real work, so he wouldn't try to cheat her, right?

Shen Yue sighed and reminded:

"I told you before... the rooms from here onwards are occupied by important people. I wasn't lying."

Yue Liuyun nodded in understanding and said, "Oh, so he's in the private room at the back. Then you should know where he is..."

and many more.

She was stunned for a second, then came to her senses and asked with a frown, "Besides General Qi Sha, who else is here?"

Shen Yue seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a complicated expression.

Something in Yue Liuyun's brain buzzed, and he finally reacted.

Yes, as the Grand Tutor, Shen Yue held a very high status in the court. Who else could he call a "big shot"?

She was distracted for a moment and pondered:

"Master Taifu means that His Majesty Nan...is here too?"

He actually came in person.

Shen Yue couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that she looked calm and composed, as if she was just listening to an ordinary trivial matter.

Although I don’t know what exactly happened at that time, judging from Nangong Mingzhu’s attitude, it must not have been a pleasant thing.

One keeps silent.

One acts as if nothing happened.

This made his doubts grow deeper.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yue slowly stood up, walked to her, nodded slightly, and then explained:

"However... His Majesty is only here for a secret inspection. The Concubine Xian is unaware of this. He has entrusted this matter to us, and we should be leaving this place soon."

He looked at her steadily and suggested very considerately:

"If you wish to avoid His Majesty, please wait here for a while..."

Yue Liuyun rubbed his eyebrows.

Not that.

It makes no difference whether you avoid it or not.

We agreed to explain it clearly.

She was about to speak when the door of the private room opened with a bang.

Then came a deep voice, pleasant yet with a subtle hint of anger, as cold as a jade strike:

“…I’m afraid that’s not necessary.”

Yue Liuyun's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he turned around abruptly.

The man who came was tall and straight, wearing a purple and gold robe, which cleverly combined handsomeness and nobility. His white jade-like face had a strange smile, but his dark eyes were as deep as the stars in a quiet deep pool, gloomy and terrifying.

It was Nangong Mingzhu.

Compared to his previous half-dead, ghost-like appearance, he is now much better and has finally joined the ranks of the living.

...But that chilling gaze was still a little too dark.

Yue Liuyun thought to herself that something was wrong. Looking at his expression, she knew that this was not a good opportunity to reminisce about the past.

Let's just follow normal etiquette.

The heart of an emperor is like a needle on the seabed.

Adhering to the principle of not looking directly at the emperor's face, Yue Liuyun quickly lowered his eyelashes, lowered his eyebrows and nodded.

Shen Yue stood in front of her calmly, bowed respectfully, and said:

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

Nangong Mingzhu noticed this detail, and a dark color surged in his eyes, as if with a bit of ridicule. He stared at Yue Liuyun behind him, his thin lips tightly pursed.

Her hair fluttered in the breeze, and she wore a water-blue moonlit dress, which made her skin look fair and... real. Compared to her previous soul form, she had added a bit of human touch.

But she lowered her head, bowed, and performed a very standard salute, saying respectfully, "Your Majesty, your servant pays respects."

Yue Liuyun was slightly nervous.

Because Nangong Mingzhu didn't speak for a long time.

But she could feel the air pressure in the entire private room drop.

She couldn't look up to see his expression, so she had to maintain a saluting posture with Shen Yue.

However, the next second, the crisp scent of plum blossoms hit her, and a large, bony hand grasped her wrist, holding her tightly and turning to walk out.

Yue Liuyun's pupils trembled, he staggered slightly, and his scream was choked in his throat.

Damn, what is this guy trying to do?

Shen Yue frowned, and without caring about etiquette, he wanted to step forward to stop him and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, no!"
