This villain has become a ghost

"No," Yue Liuyun seemed to have thought of something. He cast an admiring glance at Qiu Shuangwan and said, "Brother Liu, you are amazing. You really didn't bring shame to us time travelers."

Qiu Shuangwan: “?”

Yue Liuyun said, "Thanks to your 'Erquan Yingyue', the princess learned that you were the time traveler by the emperor's side, and that's when she began to think about getting close to you."

Originally, Nangong Wanqing didn't really want to cooperate with Wei Yanzhi, but Qiu Shuangwan's appearance made her completely want to switch sides.

but……

If Yue Liuyun hadn't issued those modern decrees, if Qiu Shuangwan hadn't played the song "Erquan Yingyue", if neither of them were time travelers, everything would have developed according to the original book...

Nangong Wanqing's eyes moved slightly, and she finally said something that matched her appearance and temperament: "If the two of you don't show up, it will be in my best interest to continue cooperating with Wei Yanzhi."

"I will kill Lin Yuan and Chu Shiqing as I originally planned. Wei Yanzhi really wants me to fight the emperor, so the two military powers will fall into my hands."

Afterwards, she will gradually gain a foothold in the court with the military power and will fight the emperor to the death.

But Nangong Wanqing didn't want Wei Yanzhi to take advantage of the situation.

It would be better to cooperate with the emperor and eliminate him first, and Qiu Shuangwan will be the bridge for cooperation between her and the emperor.

Qiu Shuangwan knew nothing about these conspiracies and didn't think too deeply about them. She could only sigh honestly, "It's actually the work of 'Erquan Yingyue'..."

Are you serious?

It can't be more ridiculous!

"Actually... not entirely," Nangong Wanqing said, "After all, I already knew there were time travelers around the emperor. But... you're still amazing. Your presence directly saved us a lot of unnecessary steps."

Yue Liuyun continued to echo Nangong Wanqing's words, praising him, "Brother Liu is really amazing, he's really good at catching people off guard."

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

It was a lucky coincidence.

Also, this scene looks so much like two smart and wise parents racking their brains to praise their not-so-bright son.

Qiu Shuangwan was shocked by her own thoughts, the corners of her mouth twitched wildly, and she said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

"Having said that, Yue Liuyun is the role model for us time travelers. He is so amazing and has planned everything..." Nangong Wanqing smiled and praised Yue Liuyun seriously.

Qiu Shuangwan nodded in agreement: "That's right..."

Yue Liuyun waved his hand: "Eh, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Wanqing is the outstanding model soldier..."

"...No, no, no, I can't compare to you, I can't compare to you."

"..."

A good time travel exchange conference turned into a scene of flattery and rhetoric.

Nangong Mingzhu couldn't bear to look at these three strange flowers from another world who had completely let themselves go.

After a round of banter, Yue Liuyun and Qiu Shuangwan said goodbye to Nangong Wanqing, left the prison, and returned to the palace.

-

That night.

The screen swayed gently in the night breeze, and the painted landscape scroll glowed faintly in the moonlight.

In the silence, Yue Liuyun's turning over and sighing quietly echoed in the empty hall.

The moon and the clouds toss and turn.

It's hard to fall asleep with the moon and clouds flowing.

Thousands of thoughts entangled her and swallowed her up.

Now, no one knows how long her soul can last, and the system's method does not have a 100% chance of saving her.

If, if, if, she really died...

...She has worked hard in the real world for so many years, and has completed her tasks seriously in this world... Hasn't all this been in vain?

And her family...

Thinking of this, Yue Liuyun's mood became more complicated. Boredom and heaviness surged into her heart, but she tried her best to suppress them.

She was eager to complete the task.

She needs the system to grant her that wish.

But the system must be hiding something from her.

Especially about this world.

There are also some about Nangong Mingzhu.

Although she had taken over his body and had been living with his soul day and night for a period of time, she still knew nothing about many things about him.

In a few days, Nangong Qianshang and Song Zhiyi will return to the capital.

The system defines them as the male and female protagonists. Is it because they originally carried good fortune, or is it simply because they survived to the end?

And what was Wei Yanzhi's real purpose in stirring up trouble and disrupting the court?

Now that he is working with Zhang Jing, Qiu Lin may no longer be able to check and balance him, so he has to find another way.

Could it be that Nangong Qianshang has always been playing the fool and eating the tiger, appearing to be indifferent to the world but actually operating in secret?

But this kind of routine is what the Grown-Up Princess has used. Can it really be that simple?

He obviously has a lot of supporters in the court, and even among the people, his outstanding talents and character are known to the public. In addition, he has a relationship with Song Zhiyi, and the Song family's military power is all in his hands. Is it necessary for him to keep a low profile?

The Dragon Seal Scroll had been destroyed by Nangong Mingzhu. He had always been decisive and ruthless in his actions, so he shouldn't leave any evidence behind.

But this destroyed Dragon Seal Scroll is what arouses endless speculation and raises doubts.

Yue Liuyun suddenly stood up straight as if he had come back to life.

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

He had long been uneasy because of the sound of Yue Liuyun tossing and turning, and had been watching with interest to see how long she could wriggle on the bed.

…but she suddenly stood up and looked at him intently.

"Can't sleep?" he asked.

Yue Liuyun said quietly, "There are some things I can't figure out, and my head hurts."

"So I'm going to harass you. If I can't sleep, you can't sleep either."

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

Okay, okay, thank you so much.

Nangong Mingzhu glanced at her, chuckled, and said, "What are you thinking about now? Is it about the system, Wei Yanzhi, or Nangong Qianshang?"

"...all of them."

Yue Liuyun looked at him quietly for a long moment, then suddenly said, "This may be a little presumptuous, but I still want to ask, back then... was the person to whom the late emperor passed the throne really Nangong Qianshang?"

The air suddenly became quiet, and the dim palace lanterns emitted a faint light, shining on the carved beams and painted buildings, creating a mottled scene.

"…It's him." Nangong Mingzhu said.

After a moment of thought, he added, "Back then, before the late emperor passed away, he gave two copies of the Dragon Seal Scroll to me and him respectively. I've seen them, and his name is written on both."

"My share, I destroyed it with my own hands in front of the late emperor."

Yue Liuyun frowned and asked, "What about his share?"

Nangong Mingzhu said, "He did the same. He tore it up in front of the late emperor, then calmly relayed the late emperor's will to the ministers, appointing me as the next crown prince."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Hmm, what a cool move.
