This villain has become a ghost

Especially...what Liu Zeyin told her about his past today.

Although he revealed part of the truth due to Han Wei's death, there must be a large part that he left unsaid.

For example, they might have companions, or someone behind the scenes, or how they got to where they are today, or what exactly they want to do...

She closed her eyes and frowned. For a moment, she felt confused again. She thought carefully about what Wei Yanzhi had done before, trying to connect it with what Liu Zeyin was doing now.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, opened her eyes abruptly, and was startled.

Combining everything that happened before and all the information she knew, perhaps... the answer was actually very simple, and she was just overthinking it.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden "creak" sound by the window, a cool breeze and the fragrance of plum blossoms blew in, and the light next to me flickered a few times.

The next second, a familiar voice rang in her ears. She leaned back in her chair and met the burning gaze.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Nangong Mingzhu leaned down, supporting the chair with his arms, a smile on his handsome face and slightly raised eyebrows.

This person came again.

Although this person sneaked into General Qiming's mansion as if he were returning to his own home, Yue Liuyun was not surprised or suspicious. Instead, he pulled the chair next to him over, motioned him to sit down, and nodded, saying:

"You came at the right time. I have something to tell you."

Nangong Mingzhu sat beside her nonchalantly, leaning closer to her, and said softly with a half-smile:

"what?"

Yue Liuyun told him everything Liu Zeyin had said today without missing a word.

He gradually restrained his lazy look and seemed to be thinking about something.

She frowned and said:

"Since they've known each other for a long time, it means they want to do the same thing."

"I originally couldn't figure out what they were trying to do, but then it suddenly occurred to me that you were reborn. You once said that in your previous life, there was a force that pushed for the downfall of the entire dynasty, and there was a high probability that Wei Yanzhi was one of them."

"...In other words, this is most likely their purpose."

"That's right," Nangong Mingzhu calmed down, revealing his beautiful profile, and said in a deep voice, "Compared to collaborating with the enemy and treason, I think this speculation is more reasonable."

After learning that Han Wei and Wei Yanzhi had a relationship, he began to investigate privately. The letters left by Min Caizhe after his suicide were confirmed to be related to Wei Yanzhi. All of this was like a huge spider web, connecting all the suspicious points.

"But I really can't understand why they would do this," Yue Liuyun said, rubbing his temple in distress. "They were born in humble circumstances and have endured many hardships. It's not easy for them to get to where they are now. Their previous life also had a good ending. Why would they do something so detrimental to themselves and others?"

Nangong Mingzhu touched her head and thought:

"No matter what they want to do, I know Nangong Qianshang. Although he is kind, he is definitely not stupid. On the contrary, he is very smart. With his ability, those people you just mentioned are not enough to make him fail."

There must be someone else besides them.

It's definitely not that simple.

"By the way, I told you last time that Liu Zeyin wanted to control Wuzhou and plant secret agents in various places. Did you order people to do it?" Yue Liuyun asked.

Nangong Mingzhu's eyes dimmed slightly, and he frowned, "...Of course he went, but it's strange that the people I sent to various places have not been heard from yet. I have ordered Chu Shiqing and Lin Yuan to investigate privately."

Yue Liuyun sighed.

In this era, communication was underdeveloped, and it was so difficult to transmit news, investigate affairs, and issue orders... The territory of Daying was vast, and even as an emperor, it was difficult to know the situation of his country.

But now they are too passive, and they must know enough information to turn passivity into initiative.

Yue Liuyun said, "Next, I will first find a way to bring down Liu Zeyin and collect evidence of his treason and conspiracy. When the time is right, I will identify and denounce him."

"Okay, I understand." Nangong Mingzhu nodded.

She supported her head with her hands and said in a deep voice:

"No matter what, we must be careful."

"According to the law of increasing entropy, it's easy for things to go from order to disorder, but it's very difficult to go from disorder to order. So it's much easier for them to achieve their goals than it is for us."

Yue Liuyun handed the stack of letters he had written on the table to Nangong Mingzhu and said seriously:

"I've already marked these letters. Please help me deliver them to Wanqing, Qiu Shuangwan, Shen Yue, Xia Ruzhi, and Song Zhiyi..."

Nangong Mingzhu stared at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then hugged his chest and said coldly: "...where is mine?"

"I've told you everything in person, why do you still need a letter?" Yue Liuyun said with a smile.

Nangong Mingzhu asked persistently, "If I don't come tonight, are you going to write me one too?"

"Then don't we have Feng Ning? It should be easy to bring you a message."

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

He looked quite displeased, staring at her intently.

Yue Liuyun felt helpless and amused.

...I don't know why this person is fussing over a letter.

In the end, she couldn't help but chuckle, thinking, why not stroke his fur.

She said slowly, "Okay, okay, it's just a letter. If you want, I'll write to you every day."

It’s not a difficult thing to do.

"That's what you said." Nangong Mingzhu raised his lips and smiled, seeming satisfied.

Yue Liuyun glanced at him sideways and sneered, "Childish."

Childish is childish.

"You must be tired," Nangong Mingzhu said calmly, "It's getting late, we should rest."

"'We'?" Yue Liuyun raised his eyebrows.

"Yes," Nangong Mingzhu had long hair as dark as ink, a handsome face, and a cold temperament like plum blossoms between his eyebrows.

His lips were red and his teeth were white. His smile was flawless and charming. His tone was ambiguous, but his expression was confident as he said, "I'm here to sleep with you."

Yue Liuyun felt his old face turn red and rubbed his eyebrows.

This guy was clearly flirting with her.

She suspected that she was actually bewitched by this man's face.

Yue Liuyun sat on the chair for a long time, not knowing what to say to cool down the inexplicably rising temperature.

After a long time, she coughed lightly and was about to speak, but suddenly the world spun around her and she felt weightless. Nangong Mingzhu picked her up.

He chuckled and said seriously, "I guess your feet must be numb from sitting so long, that's why you're taking so long. Why don't you... let me help you?"

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Yue Liuyun's ears turned slightly red, and he helplessly revealed the secret: "...I'm really impressed. If you wanted to hug me, just say so. Why give me so many excuses?"
