This villain has become a ghost

"Your Majesty is extremely talented. Whether it is chess or court affairs, I am not as good as you, and I have no intention of teaching." Shen Yue stroked the chess pieces with his white and distinct fingertips, looked at the black and white pieces fighting on the chessboard, and sighed softly.

Yue Liuyun smiled slightly and said sincerely, "In terms of talent, the Grand Tutor was once my study partner, and his knowledge far surpasses mine. I should be ashamed of myself."

"Besides, the Grand Tutor is only three years older than me. I grew up with him and have long considered him my elder brother."

Shen Yue was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed and said slowly, "I am ashamed to accept this honor."

"Taifu, there is no need to be so modest." Yue Liuyun continued.

Shen Yue saw that his emperor was gentle and full of praise. He understood everything and said softly, "Your Majesty, if you have something to say...you might as well say it directly."

Praising and recognizing him as a brother, Yue Liuyun himself felt that his intentions were a little too obvious.

Yue Liuyun coughed lightly and said, "Indeed, there is something I need to trouble you, Master."

Shen Yue smiled slightly.

Yue Liuyun pondered for a moment and then revealed his intentions in full.

The autumn wind blew gently, and the leaves rustled. Occasionally, a few golden leaves fell from the trees and landed on the ground of the pavilion.

The more Shen Yue listened, the more serious his expression became. His brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought.

After Yue Liuyun finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, silently observing Shen Yue's expression, and patiently waiting for him to speak.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yue's frown relaxed. He looked at Yue Liuyun and said only four words: "I understand."

Yue Liuyun smiled.

These four words are enough.

"Then I won't bother you anymore, Master." Yue Liuyun stood up and prepared to leave.

The main thing is to achieve your goal and then run away.

"Your Majesty, please stay." Just as Yue Liuyun was about to leave, Shen Yue's voice suddenly rang out and stopped her.

Yue Liuyun turned around and asked curiously, "Taifu, what else do you want?"

Shen Yue raised his drooping eyelashes, his narrow and long phoenix eyes filled with an ambiguous expression. He looked directly into her eyes and said with a half-smile, "Your Majesty seems to have changed a lot."

Yue Liuyun: “!!!”

grass.

No way, no way, she thinks her acting is perfect, is it ooc?

This master is even smarter than a monkey.

Yue Liuyun remained calm and composed, pretending to be interested. "Why do you think so?"

A hint of surprise also flashed in Nangong Mingzhu's eyes, and his gaze towards Shen Yue became deeper and more inquiring.

Shen Yue's face was calm, and he chuckled softly, saying, "It's understandable that Your Majesty favored Prince Xuan, but it was just for the sake of profit. It's also understandable that Your Majesty came to me to deal with this matter, but it was a means to an end."

"It's just that, Your Majesty, when you play chess, whenever you are lost in thought, you habitually tap the board with your chess piece, but you didn't do that just now."

As long as you pay a little attention, you can always imitate people's language, actions, expressions, etc. in a short period of time.

However, this habit, which is ingrained in our bones and which we ourselves have not even noticed, cannot be imitated or imagined by others in a short period of time.

Yue Liuyun: “…”

From observing so carefully, it seems that you two are true love.

Yue Liuyun looked him straight in the eyes, with a hint of sharpness in her gaze, and said nonchalantly: "This is not a habit, it is a problem. I have changed it a long time ago."

"I don't understand. What's the intention behind Taifu's sudden words? Could it be that he has discovered that I have corrected this bad habit and is happy for me?"

Shen Yue stared into her eyes quietly, then suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty has not only changed this habit, but even the look in his eyes is different from before."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

This is more than just true love, it's a soul mate. I must make sure you two get married right there.

Before Yue Liuyun could continue to argue, Shen Yue continued, "Your Majesty's eyes just now contained not only calculation and strategy, but also an uncontrollable murderous intent."

"And now, your eyes still hold calculation and strategy, but they are less murderous and more cunning."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

I actually managed to get you to analyze it.

Do I have to give you an award?

Habit Capture Award, Eye Analysis Award, Soul Detection Award... I give it to you, I give it to you!

Yue Liuyun sneered and said in a cold tone, "What exactly does Grand Master want to say?"

Even if he discovered something, what would it matter? She was still the emperor, what could a mere tutor like him do to her? Even if he were to expose the matter, how many people would believe him based on his one-sided story and subjective judgment?

Shen Yue, however, showed a genuine smile, and his handsome face became even more beautiful. He explained, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have no ill intentions, I am just happy."

Yue Liuyun was stunned.

"Forgive me for being frank, but I really disliked your Majesty in the past. Now I see that your Majesty's methods are no longer as vicious and cruel as before, and you are even willing to give your trust to others. I am very happy." Shen Yue said leisurely.

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

This wave is coming towards him.

Or he is still insulting him openly.

Nangong Mingzhu laughed angrily, Shen Yue, you are great!

Yue Liuyun's face immediately turned from gloomy to bright, and he even returned to his original position and sat opposite Shen Yue.

She smiled and said, "Taifu is right. I also feel that my previous actions were inappropriate. They were simply against the will of heaven and are outrageous!"

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

Nangong Mingzhu gnashed his teeth: "Moon, flow, cloud!"

Yue Liuyun pretended not to hear.

Shen Yue chuckled, his beautiful phoenix eyes filled with a hint of laughter. He took a sip of tea and asked seriously, "Your Majesty, are you willing to trust me?"

"I believe it, of course I do." Yue Liuyun lowered his eyes, a hint of cunning flashing across his eyes.

It doesn't matter whether she believes it or not. She wants to see what kind of ivory can come out of Shen Yue's mouth.

There is not much description of him in the book. Yue Liuyun only knows that he is loyal to the dynasty and assists the villain wholeheartedly in the early stage. He may be disappointed in the later stage and turns to join the male protagonist's camp.

If you say that the friendship between him and the villain is not deep, they grew up together. But if you say that the friendship between him and the villain is deep, he still joins the hero's camp and participates in the rebellion in the later period.

What a mysterious character.

Shen Yue sighed and then said solemnly, "No matter who you are, I only hope that you can govern this country well and clean up this corrupt court."

Yue Liuyun remained silent.

She stared at Shen Yue's face carefully, but could not see any emotion other than "sincerity" in it.

Perhaps, this person is really just a simple loyal minister.

"The court is in chaos right now, everyone harbors ulterior motives, like stinking, rotting mud," Shen Yue sighed deeply. "I don't know what to do. I can only place all my hopes on Your Majesty."

When Yue Liuyun heard this, he was slightly moved.

She thought for a moment, then smiled and said seriously, "Taifu, I once heard this saying: 'The waters of Canglang are clear, so I can wash my hair; the waters of Canglang are turbid, so I can wash my feet.'"

"Grand Tutor, there's no need to underestimate yourself. With your talent and your commitment to self-reliance, what can you do about the hidden and treacherous practices of the court?"

"The Grand Tutor has placed his hopes on me, and I certainly don't need his assistance."

When Shen Yue heard her words, his eyes suddenly brightened, and the confusion and gloom of many days were swept away.

He was trapped in his own web... He didn't even think of such a simple truth.
