C49 He is not a monster (1/2)

He is not a monster

”So you're saying... She knows all about it? ”

In the empty imperial study, these words were like the sentences of the ten Yama Kings, echoing endlessly in his ears. The man who had been questioned leaned back in his chair. His expression showed a hint of weariness. ”Probably.”

He said: ”She had already guessed it, but she had been hiding it in her heart and did not dare to ask for confirmation. Tutor Liang's accidental death could be considered as a fuse … It's my fault that I couldn't control myself and leaked the information in front of her. ”

”Don't take everything for yourself …” Chen Jinyan flipped through the imperial reports by his side: ”Who would have thought that he would actually make a move against Tutor Liang.”

Pausing, he then asked, ”What do you plan to do now? ”Tell her the truth?”

”I don't know …” The man seemed to sigh under the moonlight. His gaze wandered past the window and landed on a tree branch outside. His dark and hoarse voice seemed to come from somewhere far away, ”I'm just afraid that she's fallen into a trap and isn't willing to believe me.”

After Chen Jinyan heard this, he also became silent.

”No.” Chen Jinyan raised his head, and saw a cruel expression surface on Mu Yizhou's face. ”Xu Heng must die in the Northern Tribes!”

”As long as he dies, our plan will continue, and she …”

to follow the path that we planned to take.

Mu Yizhou raised his head and looked at the moonlight.

Regret would often appear in his heart for no reason, and these emotions were densely wrapped around his heart like vines, leaving bloody scars. Not only was it accompanied by bone-piercing pain, but at the same time, he understood better than anyone else that even if he regretted, he wouldn't retreat.

He stood up from the chair, reached for the mask at the side and put it on, ”I'll go see her …” Just in case something happens. ”

”Ah Zhou!” A second before he left, Chen Jinyan called out to him: ”Maybe, you can try wearing this mask? ”What if she …”

”She won't want to see me.” Mu Yizhou replied without even turning his head, ”So what if Xu Heng dies?”

Dead people were a meaningless name in this world, and in her heart was a lonely grave overgrown with weeds.

None of them had the qualifications to turn back.

Wen Yan peeled away the fake image she had in the past and said with a green face and fangs: ”He's also gone.”

Chen Liyi timidly took two steps closer to Luo Yi. He clearly hadn't said anything, but the first thing he felt was fear: ”Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I …”

”This servant will teach you!” Wen Yan turned her head to look at Chen Liyi, her eyes bloodshot. ”You are the crown prince! She was the future emperor! In this world, you should be the only one who can rule the world! The monarch is the first and the people are the last. Those lowly people are like grass and plants. They are born to be a source of entertainment for you … So why did you apologize? What right do you have to apologize? ”

”What's more, she lied to you! Didn't the crown prince hear it? She lied to you! ”

When Wen Yan said these words, her expression did not seem deranged, his tone was calm and collected, she even purposefully lightened his tone by a lot, as though she was a demon tempting a human to sell their souls, and behind her face, was a terrifying mouth that revealed its fangs.

Chen Liyi looked at her indifferently, as if he was already used to her words, and did not display any special feelings, he only opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted before he could even utter the first syllable: ”Yes, I lied to you.”

Luo Yi carelessly asked: ”So? ”Are you going to kill me like she said?”

”No!” Chen Liyi immediately turned his head around. ”I don't think so … ”I won't kill you …”

It was unknown what scene he had thought of, but the tone of his voice suddenly became anxious, ”I didn't think so …” ”Don't leave me behind …”

His voice sounded like he was crying. Luo Yi's heart softened, and his tone grew softer as well, ”The first time I saw you was here. You said your pet died, and you buried it here …”

When she was speaking, her mind automatically recalled the scene from that day. Chen Liyi, who looked like a ball of noodles, sat on the stairs and raised the scar on her hand that could no longer be seen.

”I forgot to ask you at that time …” She lowered her eyes and continued, ”How did it die?”

However, before Chen Liyi could say anything, Wen Yan laughed sinisterly: ”Of course it was my crown prince who personally killed him!”

She turned around and held both of Chen Liyi's hands. Chen Liyi finally sensed that something was wrong and used all his might to try to shake off her hands, but the person behind her was simply too strong, even if he went all out, he still could not break free. He could only let her hold his hands and repeat what she had done to him that day, ”Qu Qu is just an animal, he actually dares to do this to the crown prince …”

Wen Yan laughed: ”The Empress doesn't know, right? Just like that, this servant held the crown prince's hand and personally cut open the belly of that beast … The intestines were all over the floor. ”

”As for our crown prince …” Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his blade down. ”

”No!” ”I …” Chen Liyi frantically raised his head to look at Luo Yi, his voice shockingly tinged with killing intent: ”She's the one who lied to you …”

Luo Yi's heart suddenly went cold.

The smile on Wen Yan's lips widened as she mouthed to Luo Yi from afar, ”Look, you can't save him.”

Luo Yi had finally taken the first step, then the second, the third, tonight.

She walked closer and closer, and in the end, she stopped right in front of the two of them. Using all of her strength, she pushed Wen Yan's hand away from Chen Liyi's hand, and then revealed a smile. Sister, can you boast to us? ”

To put it bluntly, she was a child without love, but because someone else gave her a candy, she foolishly treated him as her only kin. Although Luo Yi was smiling on the outside, her heart was as cold as ice.

She lowered her eyes and pulled Chen Liyi towards her, then knelt on the ground and gently hugged him. ”Why would Sister not want you? When the weather gets better, we'll go kite flying together, just the two of us, okay? ”

”...” ”Alright.”

After a long period of silence, Luo Yi heard Chen Liyi's voice from his arms.

”Good boy.” She placed her hand on top of Chen Liyi's head, and then held his hand all the way down: ”Then let's go back.”

Since she said that, she did not give a single glance at Wen Yan, who was behind her. Of course, she did not see him take out a dagger from his chest.

However, because Chen Liyi turned his body slowly and saw it, he was pulled forward by Luo Yi before he could even speak. At the same time, a green figure floated down from the tree shadows and quietly grabbed the dagger in her hand, removing one of her arms.

”Thank you.” Luo Yi walked forward: ”I'll have to trouble Lord Mu to send this person to Hall of Announcements. I still have questions to ask her.”
