shock! The villain once again turned the male protagonist into a yandere and criticized him like cra

"Killing! Killing!"

The frightened screams suddenly pierced the ambiguous silence, leaving Zhouze confused for a moment.

"What happened?" He couldn't help but ask Sheng Mu in a low voice.

Sheng Mu shook his head, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, someone will check it out."

Zhou Ze nodded, thinking the same thing, but an unprecedented murder case happened near him, which really surprised him.

Real murder, or fake murder? what's going on?

Zhouze was a little curious.

"Want to take a look?" Sheng Mu saw the interest written in Zhouze's eyes and asked proactively.

He didn't expect that this little emperor was quite courageous. When he heard the word "killing", his eyes showed no fear at all, but instead were full of inquiry and confusion.

This made him like it even more.

Like... Sheng Mu suddenly realized that he had used these two words to summarize his feelings for Zhouze, and his mood was complicated for a moment.

But he soon put this emotion aside.

Time is precious and should not be wasted on useless thoughts.

Seeing Zhouze nodding to express that he wanted to take a look, Sheng Mu pondered and asked, "Is the emperor sure that he can move around freely now?"

Zhouze blinked his big eyes twice and said, "OK."

A little soreness is nothing compared to something new.

Sheng Mu was silent when he saw this, seeing Zhouze's hypocrisy, "No, let's rest first."

The expectation on Zhouze's face suddenly collapsed, but his arms could not hold his thighs. In the end, he failed to go out to see what happened. Instead, he lay on the bed and slept until midnight.

Zhouze was awakened by the disturbance.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhouze almost thought he was dreaming, and saw the fire outside, making it look like daylight.

How is this going?

Zhouze was half asleep, he was still in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses for several seconds.

Then, his body suddenly jumped into the air - Sheng Mu hugged him up together with the quilt, and under the cover of the guards, he came to the courtyard next door.

After arriving at his new place to stay, Zhouze watched Sheng Mu light a candle in the room before he fully woke up.

"Is this a leak? What's going on?" Zhouze asked, looking at the fire and black smoke still rising into the sky outside.

Sheng Mu did not answer him immediately, but stared out the window with an extremely sinister look, and suddenly evoked a sneer that sent chills down the spine.

"Someone is looking for death." Sheng Mu said softly, like an evil ghost in hell asking for his life.

Zhouze was shocked when he heard this and wondered what Sheng Mu meant, but he knew that someone must be in trouble.

It's not good to offend anyone, it's Sheng Mu.

However, Zhouze is still a little confused. Is this coming for them? It's better to target him, the puppet emperor, after all, an assassin had already assassinated him in the palace last time.

"Sheng Mu, what is going on now?" After a while, the commotion around him gradually subsided, Zhouze lowered his voice and asked again.

Only then did Sheng Mu explain everything that had just happened.

It turned out that after Zhouze fell asleep, another murder seemed to have occurred not far away from the residents who had previously shouted "murder!" and the people there were as frightened as a bird.

There was chaos nearby, and someone reported it to the Yamen, but before the officers and soldiers came to check, there was a leak.

And it happened to be while Sheng Mu was distracted by the commotion.

Apparently, it was really for him.

Zhouze was deep in thought, and unknowingly he frowned. He was just a puppet emperor. Nowadays, anyone who has anything to do with the court, who doesn't know that the real power behind the scenes is Sheng Mu?

If you really have some extravagance, shouldn't it be directed at Sheng Mu? Why do you think about killing this little puppet over and over again?

It’s not like he heard that Sheng Mu treated him specially and wanted to hurt Sheng Mu severely by killing him.

As soon as Zhouze had this guess, he rejected it.

When he was assassinated for the first time, he and Sheng Muke had no relationship at all.

So... "Sheng Mu, do you know who is behind this?"

Zhou Ze simply gave up the tedious thinking and went straight to Sheng Mu for advice.

Sheng Mu nodded when he heard this. Sure enough, he already had suspicions about the candidate. Zhouze asked curiously: "Who is it? Why do you want to kill me? I'm just a little -"

Before the word "puppet" came out of his mouth, Zhou Ze keenly received Sheng Mu's warning eyes, so the words circled around his mouth and became -

"I am just a little emperor. Not to mention my full wings, I haven't even grown all my hair yet. What's the point of coming after me?"

Zhouze didn't think this was belittlement, because what he said was the truth. In terms of being an emperor, he was indeed worthless and had no real power.

Hearing this, Sheng Mu showed a somewhat amusing expression of helplessness, "Your Majesty, that's not what you said."

"What's that? Tell me quickly. Don't be too pretentious. Just tell me who wants my life!" Zhou Ze asked continuously.

There was no fear or panic on the young man's face, but only curiosity and interest.

Sheng Mu laughed when he saw it. How could anyone have such a curious attitude when facing a life or death crisis? This little emperor is really...

"It's one of the emperor's still-living brothers." Sheng Mu quickly revealed the real culprit.

When Zhouze heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he quickly searched in his mind.

His imperial brother was still alive, so wouldn't he be the only one who was exiled?

It is said that the man was discovered having an affair with the late emperor's concubine and was exiled to a place of extreme cold and misery. He has not been heard from since. But now he can even reach into the palace?

Zhouze thought about it and suddenly heard Sheng Muqing say: "Okay, Your Majesty, you don't have to think about this. I can just deal with it."

Zhouze nodded obediently subconsciously. This matter could only be handled by Sheng Mu.

"Sheng Mu, does that imperial brother think that if he kills me, he will have a chance to be taken back as your new puppet?" Zhouze suddenly thought of such a possibility.

Sheng Mu smiled when he heard this and did not answer. He only came over and pressed a kiss on Zhouze's cheek, "It's late at night, and it's time for the emperor to rest."

Zhouze had no choice but to lie back on the soft quilt, revealing his two big round eyes, looking at Sheng Mu beside the bed for a moment.

"Okay, Sheng Mu, will you sleep with me?"

"Of course, I will not leave the emperor for even a step." Sheng Mu replied in a low voice.

This firm tone suddenly made Zhou Ze feel at ease. He relaxed and felt sleepy again.

Before going to bed, Zhouze suddenly thought of something. Sheng Mu seemed to have made arrangements.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to find a courtyard that is almost the same as the previous furnishings in such a short period of time.

Could it be that Sheng Mu had known that he would encounter something like this when he left the palace? Or, all of this was actually calculated by Sheng Mu...

Zhouze soon no longer had the energy to think about complicated things, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was broad daylight.

And Zhouze never expected that he would see such a scene.
