This villain has become a ghost

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

You said you couldn't guess what he was thinking, but this is a very accurate guess.

His eyes were dark.

That's right, she really had guessed what he was thinking, so she left without hesitation, doing the so-called "act first and report later".

[…Also, don't be so stingy. You asked Jiang Wenjin to drug me once, and I drug you once too. We're even.]

Nangong Mingzhu finally laughed out of anger.

He remembered that he hadn't eaten anything or drank any alcohol last night. Where did she put the drug?

[Good question. Of course it went down into the incense burner. Surprising or unexpected?]

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

Damn it.

This shows how well you know him, to be able to answer so appropriately.

He rubbed his eyebrows, in the incense burner... Then why is she okay?

[There's something called an "antidote," so I'm fine. Has learning this been wasted, dear?]

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

[Also, today is the imperial examination ceremony, so don't be late.]

[Finally... let me criticize you. Have you been abstaining from sex for too long? You are so...unrestrained.]

[Luckily, I drugged her, otherwise I might not be able to get up today. However, it seems that this drug is not very effective. It took so long for it to take effect. Now my back and waist are sore...]

【next time……】

The word "next time" was crossed out.

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

He raised his eyes, which were flashing with a dark light, with a dangerous look, and snorted coldly.

it is good.

...Then wait until next time.

-

Time goes back to before dawn.

Before dawn, the mountains slumbered. The night stretched to its limitless depths, the mountain shadows hazy, like an ink-stained painting. The trees, dark and shadowy, rustled softly in the breeze. The scent of earth and vegetation filled the air, a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

Waiting for the dawn.

Beside the swaying tree shadows, a low neighing sound came from the horse. Beside the carriage, two figures with slim figures stood beside it.

A cool breeze blew, making a rustling sound. Qiu Shuangwan was so cold that she sneezed.

"Keep your voice down."

Nangong Wanqing whispered.

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

Qiu Shuangwan felt a little aggrieved: "Sister... there's no need. This place is empty, there's not even a ghost."

"Are you sure?" Nangong Wanqing asked, "Many people died here. You might have stepped on someone's corpse, disturbing their peace and quiet."

Qiu Shuangwan was timid to begin with, and now she felt even more terrified. She was so scared that she grabbed Nangong Wanqing's sleeve.

His voice was filled with tears: "Sister, you are my sister, please don't scare me, okay?"

Nangong Wanqing was speechless: "Coward, it's almost dawn, what are you afraid of?"

Qiu Shuangwan: "You don't understand my heart, you pretend to be calm, you don't understand friendship and treat me as a game..."

Nangong Wanqing: “…”

Nangong Wanqing's mouth twitched: "Shut up."

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

Fine.

A cold-blooded woman.

In the dark path, another figure appeared and walked slowly towards this side.

Qiu Shuangwan swallowed and asked, "Sister... can you take a quick look and see if it's her?"

Nangong Wanqing seemed to take a breath of cold air and said, "It doesn't seem so."

"what?"

Who could that be? !

Qiu Shuangwan was startled and hid behind Nangong Wanqing, secretly peeking out and looking over there.

Hey, where are the people?

Why is it missing?

His eyes searched quickly and his heart skipped a beat.

The next second, the dim candlelight flickered, and a pale face suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Shuangwan, smiling strangely.

Qiu Shuangwan: “!!!”

He was immediately frightened out of his wits and sweat broke out on his back.

"Ah - um, um, um..." He shouted subconsciously, but Nangong Wanqing covered his mouth tightly.

Nangong Wanqing said coldly, "Shut up quickly and take a closer look at who this is."

Qiu Shuangwan mustered up the courage to open her eyes, her body still trembling and cold sweat oozing from her palms.

Yue Liuyun slowly raised the lamp held under her chin with one hand. Her features became clearer as she said, "...As expected, you are still so timid."

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

Qiu Shuangwan looked at Nangong Wanqing in disbelief: "Sister, didn't you just say...it wasn't her?"

Nangong Wanqing shrugged indifferently: "Oh, I was just kidding."

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

You take it for granted.

Qiu Shuangwan turned to look at Yue Liuyun, wanting to cry but unable to, she said, "...No, what about you? How can you hold the lamp like this?"

Yue Liuyun leaned against a bamboo stick, smiled calmly, and said, "...Of course I wanted to scare you, silly child."

"Silly child" Qiu Shuangwan: "..."

He doesn't play anymore.

They all bullied him.

"Alright, alright, let's go," Nangong Wanqing said, "Get in the carriage."

As soon as Yue Liuyun let go of the bamboo, his legs went weak and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Nangong Wanqing was quick to support him.

Nangong Wanqing gave her a meaningful look, a strange smile on her lips: "...Okay, let me help you up first."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Yue Liuyun coughed lightly and said, "Thank you very much."

The carriage was very spacious and had a faint scent of sandalwood. Through the dim light, one could see that the patterns and embroidery on the curtains were all made of gold thread.

Yue Liuyun said, "Wow, the carriage is quite nice. Where did you get it?"

Qiu Shuangwan avoided looking.

Nangong Wanqing, who was driving, chuckled and said, "Not bad, I stole it from Jiang Wenjin."

"He still has a lot anyway, so he might as well give some to poor people like us."

The time travel team spent all their budget before their business was even halfway started.

So Qiu and Nangong conspired to steal the carriage of a wealthy man named Jiang. Is this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality?

Yue Liuyun: "...Six."

Yue Liuyun asked, "Could it be that... you are the legendary geniuses?"

Jiang Wenjin is truly impressed by you.

"Well, compared to you, I'm still a little bit behind," Nangong Wanqing said with a half-smile, "On the wedding night, before dawn, she abandoned the groom and sneaked out..."

She continued leisurely:

"Tsk tsk tsk...it seems that your Xiao Ming hasn't worked hard enough. Not only can you get out of bed, but you can also walk so far."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

This is not a car heading to kindergarten.

Qiu Shuangwan kept coughing.

Yue Liuyun laughed dryly, rubbed his aching waist, and chose to keep silent.

...It turned out that she had drugged me correctly, otherwise she might not have been able to get up today. It was a pity that the drug took too long to take effect, and she was still in great pain.

Next time...

Ugh, why is she thinking about next time so soon?

Qiu Shuangwan: "...Wow, why is your face suddenly so red?"

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Yue Liuyun said sincerely: "Shut up."
