Nangong Mingzhu did not miss any of her expressions. They were very close and their breaths intertwined, but there was no ambiguity of the past. The air was filled with solemnity.

"Impossible," Yue Liuyun shook his head gently and said, "I can't leave now."

She promised Jingtan an equal exchange.

There is another girl's life waiting for her to save.

Yue Liuyun finally couldn't bring herself to be cruel to him. After thinking it over, she decided to show some mercy. She raised her hand and gently touched his face, whispering, "...You don't have to worry about me getting into trouble. Jing Tan once promised me that if it really came to a critical moment, she would save my life."

She tried her best to appear sincere and said slowly, "...So, please let me go first. No matter what happens, I will face it with you."

She felt a little nervous, not knowing how he would react.

Yue Liuyun is actually very confused now.

Luo Tong's incident still left a grudge in her heart. Her reason told her that what Nangong Mingzhu said was true, but she just couldn't help herself from doubting whether his feelings for her had changed.

She was also unsure about how he felt about her now, and whether her surrender would have any effect on him.

The human heart is the most difficult thing to detect.

But she knew nothing about this.

"Ding-ling——" The silver chain rang, both of her hands were handcuffed, and Nangong Mingzhu kissed her lips roughly.

Yue Liuyun: “…”

His lips were still hot. The more Yue Liuyun struggled, the tighter he held her, and even her clothes were messed up.

"...You asked for this," he said.

Nangong Mingzhu's lips had plundered Yue Liuyun's lips and teeth enough, and then slowly moved down, with an ambiguous breath wandering around, and the increasingly hot breath almost burned people to death.

Yue Liuyun trembled all over, but was held down tightly.

From the cheek to the neck, and then continue down...

She whimpered, her face flushed, and she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

"Wait, don't—"

...The style of painting once again rushed towards the 18+ direction.

Continue down.

Yue Liuyun felt that something was wrong and his head was buzzing.

Nangong Mingzhu stopped at the right moment, raised his dark, lustful eyes, and looked at her meaningfully.

Her face had already turned red, and both her face and fair shoulders were stained with a light red, a very beautiful spring color.

"I thought you would resist..." Nangong Mingzhu turned and lay down beside her, picked up a strand of her hair, and supported his head with one hand.

Yue Liuyun was so ashamed that she couldn't help but scold him: "...You have locked my hands and feet, how can I resist? What's the difference between this and playing hard to get? Don't think I don't know, you just like playing this game!"

"...Then why don't you respond?" Nangong Mingzhu seemed to be in a much better mood than before, and the gloom in his eyes slowly dissipated.

Yue Liuyun struggled to pull her clothes together, glared at him and said, "...Do you think I want to pay attention to you?"

"That's not up to you." He repeated what he had just said.

Then, Nangong Mingzhu leaned close to her ear and said solemnly, "...I'll let you go today, but you have to know that my patience is limited."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

I can go to yours.

She asked, "...So you still don't want to let me out?"

"Before you leave," Nangong Mingzhu held her tightly in his arms as usual, resting his chin on her head, and said softly, "...stay with me for three days first."

"Count me in...please."

He suddenly showed weakness again.

This made Yue Liuyun stunned, and he felt mixed emotions.

This person has actually become very dangerous now.

All his disguises were removed, and the real him was not gentle, nor kind, nor a gentleman, but a paranoid, sinister, and terrifying emperor.

But she couldn't push him away.

-

The moonlight was suddenly blocked by thick clouds, and only a faint light shone through the gaps in the clouds.

The river flowed in the darkness, making a low gurgling sound. The trees on the bank swayed in the night wind, casting eerie shadows, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching from the dark.

There are few lights on the riverside, with only a few scattered lights flickering in the distance, like lost travelers looking for their way home.

The smell of blood is strong.

Several dark shadows suddenly flashed through the forest, their blades sharp and murderous intent rising.

In the silent night, there were sounds of fierce fighting and killing.

"General, this way."

Yin Yun's prison uniform was stained with blood, and several wounds were hideous. He was protected by Liu Zeyin behind him.

He glanced towards the end of the forest. The water was shimmering, and a small boat was parked by the river. Several men dressed as fishermen entered the forest at a very fast speed and started fighting with the black shadow.

Two of the fishermen supported Yin Yun and Liu Zeyin, quickly ran to the riverside, stepped onto the boat, and started rowing.

Liu Zeyin was covered in wounds, with a clear bloody hole in his shoulder. After the bleeding was finally stopped, he developed a fever and his face was faintly pale.

The fisherman said respectfully:

"General, news has come from the palace that the people of Yizhou have been arranged and the governor has been eliminated. As long as you rush to Yizhou, you will become the governor of Yizhou."

"The secret agents have already rushed to Yizhou. Liangzhou, the closest province to Yizhou, is weak, so this is a good opportunity for you to develop your own power."

Liu Zeyin frowned and forced herself to wake up. Her dry lips moved and she said slowly:

"Burning down the Heavenly Prison, writing me letters, arranging for me to escape from Heyizhou... all of this... was it she who did?"

The fisherman said, "Of course."

Yin Yun endured the pain of the wound and applied medicine to himself, sighing:

"...So, every move of all of us over the years has been under her control. With such means, she has truly...grown up."

He didn't feel any relief or joy in his heart, but instead felt an endless sense of heaviness.

...I couldn't help but recall the scene in the sky prison.

He originally wanted to rescue the staff of the general's mansion as well, after all, they were his old friends.

However, they were stopped by the leader who said coldly, "The Lord orders that the rest of the people will be killed without mercy."

The raging fire burned all the criminals to death.

He also burned all his friends to death.

Some people wailed in pain, some were filled with relief and liberation, and some desperately wanted to escape...

But in the end he was swallowed by the fire snake.

Turned to dust.

Yin Yun smiled bitterly and looked at Liu Zeyin, saying, "Did you... already know it was her?"

Liu Zeyin was silent for a while, then whispered, "Yes."

Yin Yun closed his eyes, the dizziness and the silence of the night overwhelmed him, and only Liu Zeyin's voice rang in his ears again.

Liu Zeyin said: "It's not just me, Han Wu and Wei Er also know, but..."

"...It's just that you all tacitly kept it a secret from me, making me look like a fool, right?" Yin Yun continued in a hoarse voice.
