This villain has become a ghost

"what?"

Yue Liuyun also followed her example and lay down on the recliner next to her, looking peaceful and serene, as if she had entered the life of an elderly person ahead of time.

"For example, what's going on between you and the emperor? He even sent his personal guards to protect you," Nangong Wanqing turned his head to look at her and asked seriously, "Are you two having an affair?"

Yue Liuyun: “…”

The words were crude but the logic was sound, and she couldn't refute them.

Yue Liuyun said: "... maybe this is the case."

"I knew it. You two shared a body before, so it's hard to believe there wasn't some kind of affair going on," Nangong Wanqing nodded in understanding, then asked seriously, "...and then, after everything is over, do you want to stay here with him?"

Yue Liuyun shook his head decisively: "No."

"I knew it." Nangong Wanqing sighed with a complicated expression.

Yue Liuyun was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "How should I put it? I like him and he likes me too. That's enough. As for the future..."

Definitely not.

Nangong Wanqing actually understood her very well. She put her hands behind her head, lowered her eyes and said, "It's okay. If it wasn't necessary, who would want to stay here?"

"I originally thought that I would be trapped in this world forever. It wasn't until I met you and Qiu Shuangwan that I finally had hope of returning."

"My family, my home, and my peaceful and warm life are the right track I should return to."

"Compared to this, nothing else matters."

Even though she knew that she would never see Jingtan again after leaving this world, and would not even be able to sense his presence like she did now, she still wanted to go back.

She has been in this world for too long, and has witnessed too much cruelty and coldness, bloodthirstiness and killing. Those warm memories are buried deep in her heart, and even dreams are a luxury.

She is no longer the same person.

Now she is cruel and ruthless, killing people without blinking an eye, and she is no different from the people of this era in her nature.

She had an almost crazy obsession with the word "go home", which kept her remaining sanity hanging on and prevented her from collapsing too early.

"As for Jing Tan... I've actually figured it out a long time ago," Nangong Wanqing closed her eyes and said softly, "He deserves better."

Yue Liuyun raised his eyes and chuckled, "...He deserves better, not the best like you."

Nangong Wanqing was amused by her.

She arched her eyebrows, raised her eyes slightly, and looked charming. She gently raised her hand and pinched Yue Liuyun's cheek, and said seriously:

"That's right. In terms of appearance alone, I dare say that in the entire Dongdu, or even the entire Daying, I am nothing."

Yue Liuyun laughed out loud, patted her hands, and said, "Don't, you still have the demeanor of a queen!"

"I don't deserve it. Just call me prison sister, the sister who came out of prison." Nangong Wanqing waved her hand.

Yue Liuyun clapped his hands: "No problem!"

The two began to talk about all sorts of things again, from poetry and songs to the philosophy of life.

"...Come to think of it, I haven't seen Brother Liu Mang for a long time." Yue Liuyun suddenly sighed as they talked about something, "How has he been lately?"

Nangong Wanqing stood up and said, "I don't know, but he should be pretty good. How about... let's go find him and play?"

"Isn't he in the palace?" Yue Liuyun raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, young man, you're still too young," Nangong Wanqing said as she took action. She reached out and pulled Yue Liuyun up from the recliner, saying, "For someone like me to sneak in and out of the palace, I must have my own methods. Otherwise, the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards would have caught me long ago."

How sneaky.

You seem quite pleased with yourself.

Yue Liuyun clenched his right fist and clapped it on his left hand: "Okay, then it's happily decided."

-

royal palace.

Shangxian Palace.

All the palace servants were dismissed, and Shi Xing respectfully followed Nangong Mingzhu and Nangong Qianshang to the gate of Shangxian Palace.

Nangong Qianshang was wearing a long robe with silver embroidery and a green jade ribbon today. He was holding a silver folding fan in his hand and had a smile on his face, looking very noble.

"This is a matter concerning the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. The virtuous Consort happens to be highly accomplished and gifted. Since it is not convenient for me to trespass on the consort's grounds, I have no choice but to trouble my royal brother."

Nangong Mingzhu played with the jade ring on her finger, glanced at him sideways, and said with a half-smile, "If you have any questions in the future, I will grant you special permission. You can come directly to Shangxian Palace."

Nangong Qianshang choked.

So unconcerned.

It's as if I'm not talking about your woman.

Just as I reached the gate of Shangxian Palace, I heard... two faint voices, one male and one female, coming from inside.

"My friend, this isn't good, let's not do it..."

"It's okay, do it again."

"But I'm... a little tired."

"A real man never says he can't do it. If you're a real man, try it again."

"Okay, let's do it again."

"Tsk, it's still hard here, but it's a little small."

"..."

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

Nangong Qianshang: “…”

Shi Xing: “!!!”

Shi Xing was greatly shocked and said in disbelief, "...Your Majesty, how come I heard a man's voice in the palace of the virtuous concubine?"

Nangong Qianshang also looked at him in confusion.

Depend on.

What is this scenario.

Nangong Mingzhu raised his eyes to look at Shi Xing, and said calmly and without question:

"Then you heard it wrong. I didn't hear any man's voice."

Nangong Qianshang: “?”

Shi Xing: “?”

Nangong Mingzhu glanced at Nangong Qianshang indifferently.

Nangong Qianshang immediately coughed lightly, his expression calm and his heart steady as he said, "Eunuch Shixing, I didn't hear it either. You must have been hallucinating."

Shi Xing: “???”

Shi Xing knew that his eyesight was not blurry.

But he had been in the palace for a long time, and was the only eunuch who worked for Nangong Mingzhu without being beheaded, so he still had to have some sense.

He quickly said, "Yes, it is my fault. I hope Your Majesty and Your Highness Prince Xuan will forgive me."

Nangong Mingzhu raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, "Shixing, you have been overworked recently. I appreciate your diligence and will allow you to rest for a few days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will take my leave now!"

Shi Xing, who was inexplicably happy to have a few days off, hurriedly said goodbye and almost stumbled.

In the palace, the more you know, the faster you die. He should just run for his life.

Nangong Mingzhu pushed open the door and entered the palace. He rubbed his temples and frowned.

"Qiu Shuangwan, although I promised you two to meet, there is no need to do this..."

Bohemian.

Dry wood and strong fire.

flagrant.

The furnishings in the palace were messy, with cold devices and miscellaneous parts piled up.

Qiu Shuangwan rolled up her sleeves and tied her hair up high. Her beautiful face was flushed and sweat was dripping from her forehead.

She was holding a large saw in her hand, which was flashing with a sharp cold light. When she saw the person coming, her pupils trembled.
