This villain has become a ghost

Yue Liuyun's palm was very cold, but he was very gentle when touching her head, which made Bai Yueguang want to cry even more.

She hurriedly grabbed Yue Liuyun's hand and promised with a choked voice, "Don't worry, I... I will definitely find a way to cure you, there will definitely be a way..."

Yue Liuyun lowered her eyelashes, smiled faintly, and said:

"It's okay, I won't die. I promise you... I have a way to heal myself."

Bai Yueguang knew that she didn't know any medical skills, so there was a high probability that he was lying to her when he said this.

She wiped away her tears, put all her medical supplies into the big medicine box, said "Wait for me, I will find a way", and left in a hurry. She couldn't be stopped even by her calls, and happened to run into Qiu Shuangwan who was eavesdropping outside the house.

Qiu Shuangwan was silent for a moment, then followed Bai Yueguang's footsteps.

...He actually knew that Yue Liuyun was not lying just now.

So, he had to go and comfort Bai Yueguang.

The sound of rain outside the house gradually stopped, but the sky was still gloomy.

The lights in the house were warm, and there were only two people left.

Nangong Mingzhu's beautiful black eyes stared straight at her, their color deep.

There seemed to be tears in his eyes, his voice trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Yue, Liu, Yun, you are so capable...Is this how you treat yourself when I'm not around?"

She was able to conquer Quanzhou and Wuzhou with lightning speed, governing them in an orderly manner, and even plot against Murong Jin and Hu Qi, wiping out Chi Yu completely...

…but I just forgot how to take care of myself.

The two were very close, their breaths intertwined, and the air was filled with the aroma of medicine.

His eyes were moist, and his misty eyes were gentle yet sharp. He pinched her chin with his slender knuckles and gently lifted it up, suppressing his anger in his words:

"Are you too immersed in the drama? You've forgotten that this world has nothing to do with you. There's no need for you to risk your life like this!"

"Don't you only love yourself? But look at you now... How can this be considered selfish..."

Yue Liuyun stared into his eyes, and suddenly she felt a sense of guilt and remorse inexplicably in her heart. The guilt slowly turned into panic, and finally... she became at a loss as to how to deal with it.

Yeah... When did it start... that she went from being on the sidelines to truly empathizing with the world?

Maybe... I don't want there to be more people like Nangong Wanqing in this world.

Perhaps it was because she saw the people of Wuzhou struggling because of opium and cocaine, which was very similar to what she had read in history books.

Perhaps, it is the orphan girl on the streets of Quanzhou who is naked and hungry and is about to become a "vegetable person" in trade because she is homeless.

Perhaps, it is the yearning for the "Peach Blossom Land" on Cangshan Mountain in Quanzhou.

Perhaps, it was the knowledge of the state of the world...that drove a group of people who held hope and enthusiasm for the future mad, making them want to destroy the world.

...Or maybe it was even earlier, so early that she had completely forgotten what time it was.

"Xiao Ming..." Yue Liuyun calmed down and looked up at him. There was some tenderness and attachment in her eyes, and a bit of reluctance. "...Actually, I didn't lie just now. I really won't die."

"It's just... I'll leave..."

Nangong Mingzhu's breath stopped when he heard the second half of the sentence.

Yue Liuyun slowly broke free from his hand, covered her lips and coughed a few times again: "...In my world, tuberculosis is not a terminal illness, it can be cured."

As I coughed, a few tears inexplicably welled up in my eyes.

She had thought about leaving, but she didn't expect that day to come so soon.

Nangong Mingzhu spread out her curled fingers, and there was another pool of blood in the palm of her hand.

Her shoulders were shaking, and it was unclear whether it was because she was suppressing a cough or choking.

The next second, Yue Liuyun was pulled into a warm embrace, which carried the familiar and refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms. The warmth and heartbeat came from the chest, bringing endless longing.

Nangong Mingzhu said in a hoarse voice: "...I lied to you when I said I would keep you by my side forever."

"Even if I leave you, I can still live well..."

"You don't have to feel guilty about anyone, Yue Liuyun. You don't owe anyone anything. No one in this world can restrain you..."

She didn't seem to expect him to say that at all.

The emotions that had been suppressed for so long could no longer be suppressed and burst out at this moment.

"...But I'm really useless," Yue Liuyun clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, "...Many people died. I couldn't save them. I couldn't save them..."

"...There are still many people who clearly stand on the opposite side of us, but why am I so sad when they die..."

Just like... the portrait of Yue Liuyun in Pei Duo's house. Even though the handwriting has faded a little due to the rain outside the window, you can still see the expression of the person in the painting.

Only when the person who wrote it used a certain amount of emotion could he draw such an emotional portrait.

Just like the scimitar in the corner, every time you rub it, it carries the traces of the old friends.

Just like the sword used by Yue Liuyun, it has always had the mark of the General's Mansion.

Just like the tear-stained letters in the room late in the autumn, and the math problems that have been checked by someone.

Just like every star in the sky that you can see when you look up.

……

Nangong Mingzhu held her tightly in his arms, patting her back gently again and again. His beautiful face was full of heartache and tenderness, and he comforted her in a low voice:

"None of that is your fault."

His eyes were red and his voice trembled:

"...It's okay, don't be afraid."

"it's all over."

Those days of darkness, of tragedy, exhaustion, bloodshed, and endless days are over.

She will run towards the light that belongs to her and return to the world that belongs to her.

Yue Liuyun finally burst out the tears that she had been holding back for so long, and she leaned into his arms and sobbed.

The sad sound was accompanied by water dripping from the eaves, hitting the ground and shattering into splashes.

……

Outside the house not far away, Pei Duo stood there for an unknown amount of time. He listened to her mournful sobbing, looked at the rain in the sky which had stopped at some point, and slowly put away his umbrella.

Qiu Shuangwan had just comforted Bai Yueguang and made up a statement that she could understand to tell her that Yue Liuyun would not die.

Just when I was about to come and see if Nangong Mingzhu had left, I saw Pei Duo standing quietly outside the door, wondering what he was thinking.

Qiu Shuangwan hesitated for a while, then cautiously tested him: "Are you... okay?"

Pei Duo folded his arms, his expression unclear as he recalled, "My husband in Dongdu... Nan Xiaoming, you're talking about him, right?"

"She's so bold to make up stories about the current emperor..." He raised his head and said cryptically, "I think... only she would dare to say and do this."
