This villain has become a ghost

There is still some time before dawn.

Yue Liuyun played with the brush in his hand, trying hard not to turn the brush out of habit, and began to scribble on the paper again.

She said, "Why don't we sort out our thoughts."

Nangong Mingzhu motioned for her to continue.

"The eldest princess has always lived in the palace, leading a frugal and simple life, and has never been involved in state affairs. Before this, she has never shown any hostility towards you."

Not only that, in the original work, she has always been a good sister, caring for her younger brothers.

But your sister is still your sister after all, she is not a simple character.

Yue Liuyun, who has a God's perspective, knows clearly that the eldest princess Nangong Wanqing belongs neither to the male protagonist's camp nor to the villain's camp, but is ambitious and wants to be the emperor herself.

This woman is as ruthless and patient as a villain. She is good at disguise and knows how to play with people's hearts.

Since the male protagonist was not interested in the throne in the early stage, it was basically a life-and-death fight between the villain and the eldest princess.

"The Princess sent someone to assassinate you, and also sent the Concubine Xian to poison you. It can be said that she is desperate to kill you, and she is openly declaring war on you."

"But do you feel that it's too..."

"...Too deliberate." Nangong Mingzhu continued what she said.

Yue Liuyun nodded: "She just wants others, or someone, to know about her actions."

Nangong Mingzhu smiled noncommittally: "That's why... I cooperated with her and got myself seriously injured. These few days are enough for her to make her next move."

The eldest princess has been patient for many years and no one knows her true intention if she acts rashly. The only way to defeat the enemy is to lure him out of his hole as soon as possible.

Yue Liuyun raised an eyebrow and looked at him, a smile in her eyes: "Just when you read the memorials, you have already guessed what she is going to do, right?"

"Of course." Nangong Mingzhu shrugged, then looked at Yue Liuyun and spoke slowly, "You said you knew the future direction of this world. So, how will this matter end?"

Yue Liuyun's expression gradually became serious: "No matter from whose perspective, it's not good, but..."

She paused and said meaningfully, "We can change it."

-

late at night.

The eldest princess's mansion.

The breeze blows, and the sound of wind chimes moves, like the sound of nature, clearing away all distracting thoughts.

The temple was neat and clean, with a Buddha statue hanging on the wall. Its face was serene, its eyes compassionate, and it was clad in a simple golden robe, solemn and sacred. A few incense sticks burned in a small incense burner, swirling with smoke and a faint fragrance.

A beautiful woman was kneeling on a worn cushion.

She was dressed in simple white clothes, had a graceful figure, skin as delicate and smooth as cream, her hair was in a messy bun, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders, with only a jade hairpin inserted in it.

"Your Highness, the Emperor..."

A man in black was hiding in the dark, speaking in a low voice.

Nangong Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes.

Unlike her plain and elegant clothes, her facial features are extremely charming, and her slightly upturned eyes are extremely alluring.

Her voice was extremely sweet, like pearls falling on a jade plate: "They must have all failed."

"Your Highness, have you known this for a long time?" the man in black asked with a hint of surprise.

Nangong Wanqing chuckled and said, "How could the emperor be killed so easily? My purpose in doing this is to convince 'that person' of my sincerity."

Assassinating the emperor is only the first step, and the next step is just a little bit away, but... it will be soon.

"I understand," the man in black said respectfully. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said in a grim tone, "Your Highness, there is one more thing."

"The Emperor stayed at the palace of the virtuous concubine again tonight. From what I have observed, the virtuous concubine did not follow your instructions at all."

The man in black gritted his teeth and said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but this is the third time she has disobeyed Your Highness. She has completely forgotten the kindness you gave her in saving her life."

Nangong Wanqing slowly stood up, a frost gradually appearing on her beautiful face. She said in a cold tone, "You're just a disobedient chess piece. Do you understand what to do?"

"My subordinate understands!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Nangong Wanqing stood alone in the cold Buddhist temple, carefully stroking the Buddhist beads in her hand, and her eyes suddenly became gentle.

She murmured to herself, "Atan, you will bless me with success, right?"

The sound of the wind chimes was crisp and pleasant, especially clear in the silence, as if responding to her.

-

Inside the palace.

As the moon was about to rise, a gentle voice called out from outside, "Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court session."

Yue Liuyun finally put down the book in his hand, rubbed his temples and aching wrists, and drank some water to moisten his throat.

worn out.

This emperor is not fit to be a human being.

She has already experienced the life of a corporate slave in advance.

But being an emperor does have its advantages, that is, there are people to serve you.

On the lofty base, white marble steps extend upward one by one.

Yue Liuyun sat in the Mingtang, looking down calmly at the ministers from the dragon throne.

They wore various official uniforms, varying in color and style, representing different ranks and duties. They wore official hats and held tablets. Their expressions varied: some were solemn and stern, some seemed lost in thought, and some displayed humility and reverence.

Yue Liuyun tried hard to match their faces with their corresponding grades.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

A dashing middle-aged man stepped out from among the ministers first, appearing to be very anxious.

Yue Liuyun glanced at Nangong Mingzhu seemingly casually.

Nangong Mingzhu understood what she meant and gave a friendly reminder: "General, Song Haotian."

Xiaoming brand facial recognition, you deserve it.

Song Haotian, the father of the heroine Song Zhiyi, is a first-rank general of the Daying Dynasty.

"Accurate."

Song Haotian knelt down with a resolute expression and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, the Chiyu barbarians are invading, and there are bandits at the border. Your daughter is defending the border to the death. I beg Your Majesty to allocate food as soon as possible!"

It turned out to be because of this matter.

This is the only important thing in the memorial.

The original plot of the book is that the heroine Song Zhiyi was conferred the title of the fourth-rank General Jianwei, and asked for permission to guard the border for three years. Suddenly, Chi Yu invaded, and the heroine defended the border to the death, but the villain delayed in allocating food, causing the border to be on the verge of being lost, and the heroine was seriously injured.

Song Haotian was extremely anxious. He borrowed food from everywhere and even disobeyed the emperor's order, intending to lead a large army to the border to rescue his daughter.

In the end, it was the male protagonist Nangong Qianshang who appeased the general Song Haotian, avoided chaos in the court, and scraped together enough food and grass. With the help of General Zhennan Qisha, he led his troops to the border, which turned the war into a safe situation.

The reason why the villain failed to successfully allocate grain was because of the eldest princess.

In Daying, the Ministry of Revenue managed food and wages, the Ministry of War managed military pay, and the general warehouse was under the full control of the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War. However, no one knew that the Minister of Revenue was actually the eldest princess's subordinate.
