This villain has become a ghost

Murong Jin has always been good at observing people's words and expressions.

She seemed to have noticed something and asked in confusion:

"...Sir Governor, your attitude towards me is strange."

"You seem... to hate me?"

But why?

Is it simply because of the constant wars between Chiyu and Daying, due to their different positions?

But she always felt that there was more to it than that.

Yue Liuyun paused as he tapped the armrest.

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, as if to pierce Murong Jin:

"Unfortunately... the spies and secret agents Your Highness has planted in Wuzhou City have caused me great losses and trouble."

"I have always been vindictive, and I cannot bear this."

Hearing this, Murong Jin was surprised. She frowned and said:

"Eyeliner?"

"The only spies I have in Daying are the forces left by Madam Wulan. Later, when Chiyu was in turmoil, I was short of manpower and recalled them to Chiyu to help me seize power. Where did they come from?"

Yue Liuyun said coldly:

"Not you?"

"Your Highness, please don't tell me that those are Murong Huai and Murong Chuan's men."

Murong Jin denied:

"Of course, he's not one of theirs."

"The civil unrest in Chiyu and the power grab are not of great importance. Any remaining forces will come after me."

"I killed Murong Chuan, and I cut off one of Murong Huai's arms before he fled in disgrace. He hated me more than you. He was lucky enough not to help you deal with me. How could he dig his own grave?"

Yue Liuyun closed his eyes and said solemnly:

"Of course it can't be Murong Huai!"

"…He is dead."

"Dead?" Murong Jin seemed to know nothing about the matter. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he said, "...Since he escaped from Chiyu, I haven't heard from him since."

she asked:

"So how did he die?"

How did he die...

The moon and the clouds drooped their eyelashes.

...After learning of Nangong Wanqing's death, Murong Huai committed suicide...where he was imprisoned.

……

If possible, please tell Murong Huai... People should look forward, not cling to the past, be less ambitious, and live a peaceful life. There's nothing wrong with that.

At that time... Nangong Wanqing asked Pei Duo to convey the message to Murong Huai.

Pei Duo also told him the truth.

Murong Huai also asked:

"Before she died, did she miss anyone else besides me?"

Pei Duo said:

"Apart from Yue Liuyun, it seems like you are the only one left."

The empty sleeves fluttered.

Murong Huai murmured softly in a voice that only he could hear:

"Then I have no regrets..."

Pei Duo saw that although his face was a little pale, his expression was very calm. He thought that his emotions were not fluctuating, so he left after delivering his message.

...But unexpectedly, the next day came the news that he had committed suicide.

th.

Nothing is more tragic than silence.

……

Yue Liuyun didn't know how to describe Murong Huai.

She didn't expect that he would resolutely die with Nangong Wanqing.

She doesn't consider herself a saint.

But Murong Huai's death did not make her feel happy as he was her enemy.

No, to be precise...

Death is happening in front of her at any time.

And no matter who it was, every death would only make her heart heavier and colder.

……

Seeing that Yue Liuyun was silent for a long time, Murong Jin thought that she was unwilling to reveal this information and did not react much.

"If it's because of Wuzhou's spies, there's no need for the governor to be so hostile to me," Murong Jin's eyes flickered, and he tried to appear sincere. "...I've been repeatedly frustrated in Daying, and I've already turned my attention to Chiyu."

"I came here with the sincerity to cooperate with the Governor..."

Yue Liuyun interrupted her:

"Regardless of whether what Your Highness said is true or not, Your Highness has definitely gained something during your time in the Eastern Capital."

"At the very least, you should have reached a cooperation with someone."

"And that person... should be called Ye Zhaoxi."

"You've been cooperating with the Queen Mother, and now you're looking for me to negotiate. That's a bit too greedy."

Yue Liuyun still looked at her coldly, and continued word by word, "This official and the Queen Mother are completely at odds. It is understandable that I have hostility towards you."

Murong Jin was slightly surprised and his pupils shrank slightly.

...Yue Liuyun could actually guess it.

She stared at Yue Liuyun intently, as if she had only just begun to truly understand the woman in front of her.

During the time she was Concubine Lan in the palace, she did reach a cooperation with Ye Zhaoxi.

Ye Zhaoxi also revealed the timing and method of creating internal strife in Daying and taking advantage of the situation, and told Murong Jin that they could go to war with Daying at this time, and Daying would certainly be unable to fight back.

During the year that Yue Liuyun disappeared, although Nangong Mingzhu was extremely sensitive to her name and could not mention it again, it did not mean that other people who knew the situation would not discuss it.

Although they were cautious, almost none of them were on guard against Ye Zhaoxi.

Although Ye Zhaoxi didn't know the specific situation, he remembered the name "Yue Liuyun" in his heart.

...and told Murong Jin by the way.

So, on the day when Nangong Mingzhu and Yue Liuyun met again, she was the first to notice his abnormality. After some testing, she found that this person was indeed very important to Nangong Mingzhu.

However, before she could make any move, Murong Chuan, a fool pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, began to seize power.

She has a lot of plans in Daying.

But the reality is very bleak.

It’s all because Nangong Mingzhu is so cunning.

...and he won't eat anything.

There is no point in staying in Daying anymore, and we need to stop the loss in time.

So Murong Jin returned to Chiyu.

The next time I heard the name "Yue Liuyun" was after she came back to power.

Thinking of this, Murong Jin actually sighed and said:

"... Ever since I learned that you became the new top scholar and so quickly took over Wuzhou and Quanzhou, saving the two states that were originally on the verge of collapse, I suddenly felt a little regretful."

"If I had known earlier... I should have found a way to cooperate with you."

regret?

There was an undercurrent in Yue Liuyun's eyes.

She told her all this now, either she wanted to play the double agent game and reap the benefits, or her cooperation with Ye Zhaoxi really broke down.

But the current situation doesn't seem like that.

Then there is only...

Yue Liuyun suddenly understood.

Her eyes were like torches, and her words were cold but very firm as she said:

"So... you guessed Ye Zhaoxi's true purpose."

Murong Jin sighed secretly in his heart.

This person is really not simple.

She nodded helplessly, indicating that what Yue Liuyun said was true.

Yue Liuyun's expression flickered, as if he didn't trust Murong Jin at all. He sneered and said:

"She is indeed using you, but... you can also use her in return."
