This villain has become a ghost

Luo Tong remained silent.

Her fingers were long and slender, resting lightly on the table to support her body. Her hair hung down quietly, and her body was like a fallen leaf, swaying precariously.

Nangong Mingzhu glanced at her and said slowly:

"...From today on, I will send a large force to guard Shuhua Palace. You don't have to worry about the outside world anymore. I will send the imperial physician to visit you every day. You can rest assured and take care of your health here."

Luo Tong was silent for a long time, his fingertips pressed against his temples with extreme fatigue, he closed his eyes and frowned, then opened his lips and said:

"Your Majesty clearly knows everything, so why doesn't he kill me?"

As she spoke, she stared closely at Nangong Mingzhu, her beautiful eyes filled with unclear emotions, obscured by extreme complexity and thick fog.

"...I was the one who tampered with the printing, and I also forged the letter. Besides that, I also did many things in secret. All the news was spread by me. From the beginning to the end...I have been in cahoots with General Qiming and his men..."

Nangong Mingzhu shook his head and glanced at her eyes. Her handsome profile was indifferent and calm, without any ripples.

He said, "You once saved my life, so I will not kill you."

"...But the prerequisite is that you stay in Shuhua Palace honestly and don't interfere in any outside affairs. Once everything is settled, you will be free."

Luo Tong suddenly looked up and looked at him in disbelief.

Nangong Mingzhu put away the book and slowly stood up. His purple-golden robes fluttered slightly. He looked back at her, as if he had thought of something, and said thoughtfully:

"...Luo Tong, everyone should look forward."

"Self-destruction only harms oneself. I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace. If you trust me, I will do my utmost to eliminate the darkness in this world and ensure that the tragedy that befell you and me will never happen again."

They are all people who have struggled in the mire and filth, darkness and hatred.

This world is so rotten, so rotten that people face despair and misery from the moment they are born.

Luo Tong had chosen kindness time and time again, but time and time again he had put himself in desperate situations.

So, she chose to destroy it.

Hearing this, Luo Tong covered her face with her hands, her whole body trembling violently. A glimmer of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, but then dimmed at an extremely fast speed.

She murmured, "...I can't turn back anymore."

too painful.

She wants to be a bad person, but she can't be pure. The kindness hidden in her heart makes her suffer all the time.

She struggled to stand up, looked him straight in the eyes, and said bitterly:

"...The entire Great Ying has been rotten from the root. The previous emperor and even the retired emperor... They left such a mess for you, and you've only been on the throne for a few years... How could you do this?!"

"I don't believe you..."

"...I don't believe you." She repeated in a low voice with a gloomy look.

Nangong Mingzhu turned around and stared at her, his dark eyes as deep as the night, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he said, "...You don't have to believe me."

"Then... let's wait and see."

"Take care of yourself."

The young man's tall and straight figure slowly disappeared from outside the door.

……

Nangong Mingzhu walked out of Shuhua Palace and Bai Yueguang was waiting outside the door.

She was still young and short, but she was carrying a large medicine box, dragging it with great effort, her little face flushed red.

"Take good care of Concubine Shu."

He threw down these words and was about to turn and leave.

But he was stopped by Bai Yueguang.

She abandoned the medicine box and trotted to catch up with him, saying in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"...Please don't leave so quickly. I have two very important things to tell you!"

Nangong Mingzhu indeed stopped and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"what?"

Bai Yueguang panted and said:

"...I carefully examined the body of the man who died in the Dali Temple. His lungs had turned black and were necrotic. The drugs you searched for couldn't be identified using ordinary methods, but I used rat tests and found...this type of drug can cause people to become extremely dependent, leading to addiction, and directly causing a person's health to deteriorate, until death..."

"But... I have no way to deal with this poison and can't find an antidote." She scratched her hair in distress.

Nangong Mingzhu seemed to have expected this, nodded slightly, and said, "It's okay, I understand."

Yue Liuyun had already told him how terrible this poison was. Although the atmosphere between them was a little heavy last night, she still brought up the matter and told him how to destroy it.

"Is there anything else?" Nangong Mingzhu asked casually.

"Have."

Unlike his impetuous behavior just now, Bai Yueguang suddenly calmed down, took a step forward cautiously, and hesitated for a long time, as if he was organizing his words.

This aroused Nangong Mingzhu's curiosity. He crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the distant scenery, and said, "...What's going on?"

Bai Yueguang secretly observed his expression and said carefully, "...Your Majesty, yesterday when I was giving Concubine Shu medicine, I took her pulse."

"If this humble minister is not mistaken, the Concubine Shu..."

"…She must be pregnant."

Nangong Mingzhu:

"?"

"??"

"???"

"????"

-

"jingle--"

The silver chain made a sound.

It was almost noon, the sun was at its highest point, and the window was half open, revealing the shadows of bamboos and the gentle breeze outside, creating a pleasant and pleasant atmosphere.

At this moment, Yue Liuyun's desire to escape through the window reached its peak.

Sure enough, there are only zero and countless times to flip through the window.

Going through the main door is not as fragrant as going through the window.

But this silver chain doesn't look thick, but it is extremely strong and cannot be opened no matter what you do.

After trying many things in vain, Yue Liuyun lay in bed for a long time, longing for a bottle of dilute nitric acid. Out of extreme boredom, he even started to memorize the periodic table of chemical elements.

...After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly came back to life and stood up straight.

It suddenly occurred to her that she might need a tool to communicate with the outside world.

Yue Liuyun sat cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and moved them back and forth, muttering to himself:

"Jingtan, Jingtan, Jingtan, Jingtan, Jingtan..."

"Heaven will confer great responsibilities on this person."

"Jingtan, Jingtan, please come out..."

"Jingtan, Jingtan, please come out..."

The scene was extremely strange. If you didn't know, you would probably think she was performing some special ritual.

Although Jingtan is busy, as the ruler of this world, and they are his key observation objects, he should respond.

...right.

After a long time, under Yue Liuyun's persistent calling, the familiar voice finally sounded slowly, as if it had lost some of its immaturity and became more pleasant.

Jing Tan's tone was full of tears:

[…Yes, yes, yes.]
