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

"Wait, what's going on? You said something is needed to compensate for something, so why are they killing refugees in large numbers? What are they trying to compensate for?"

Zhou Ze was suddenly confused and couldn't figure it out at all.

Hearing this, Sheng Mu looked at him with both approval and ridicule, "Your Majesty is really keen. He immediately thought of this. This is something I have never been able to understand."

Always? Zhouze felt something was wrong again.

But he didn't have time to think too much, and his attention was quickly attracted by Sheng Mu's next words.

"By the way, Your Majesty, there's something else I'm wondering if you've noticed?"

"What?" It was late at night, but Zhouze was so sleepy by this series of confusing doubts that he immediately asked after hearing this.

"Although the paper in the Emperor's hand looks shabby and shabby, as if it has been around for a long time, this paper material has only become popular in the past six months."

——And half a year, how could this piece of paper be so worn out, unless it was artificially aged.

Sheng Mu's tone was calm, but the connotation behind his words was like thunder.

Zhouze was stunned by the explosion and couldn't react for several seconds. After digesting Sheng Mu's words, he asked in a low voice:

"Sheng Mu, what you're saying is that what I got is not some forgotten evidence at all, but maybe something forged by someone with intentions?"

Sheng Mu didn't say a word, but slightly blinked at him.

Okay, that's not quite right.

Zhouze immediately had some doubts about the content on the paper. After putting it aside, Zhouze heard Sheng Mu speak again:

"But it's also possible that someone else got this page of evil magic and took it to the cellar of the former Duke Ding's deserted house to 'test' it."

Sheng Mu Qingpiao added.

Zhou Ze knew that this possibility was extremely slim.

Firstly, there is no need for such a page to leave evidence of guilt, and secondly, there is no need to make it old.

The biggest possibility is only the one he deduced before.

Zhou Ze frowned even more instantly.

"Then this piece of paper, is it still trustworthy?" Zhouze asked in a low voice as if he was talking to himself.

"It depends on the emperor's thoughts. However, I have another version of hearsay here. Does the emperor want to know more about it?"

Sheng Mu used his usual calm tone to whet Zhouze's appetite.

Zhou Ze wanted to beat him up.

No, what's going on with Sheng Mu? Are you planning to hold a story session? Preparing to trap him one by one?

Zhouze suppressed his slight annoyance and urged, "Why don't you tell me quickly? You have so many tricks in front of me and you don't want to die?"

Such a paper tiger's behavior made Sheng Mu couldn't help but smile slightly. He stretched out his big hand and took him back into his arms and carried him back to the bed.

Sheng Mu covered Zhouze with a luxurious quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt to ensure that Zhouze was warm before speaking again.

"That's right, Your Majesty. This hearsay is somewhat similar to the form of the human tomb mentioned before, but its purpose is quite different."

"Oh?" Just such a sentence aroused Zhouze's curiosity, "Say quickly."

After hearing this, Sheng Mu stared at Zhouze for a long time with his eyes that were so deep and heart-wrenching.

Just when he raised his thin lips and Zhouze thought he was about to say it, Sheng Mu suddenly changed the topic and asked with a smile: "I have said it, what benefits can the emperor give me tonight?"

Zhouze: "..."

!

"Sheng Mu!" Zhouze couldn't help but raise his voice.

He was not without annoyance, his big round clear eyes were even wider now. This was due to the annoyance of not being able to hear what he wanted to hear quickly.

Can Sheng Mu be somewhat upright? He was eager to hear something serious, otherwise he would not be able to sleep tonight.

Zhou Ze did not say these words, but he believed that someone as smart as Sheng Mu must have seen it already.

The young man stared at Sheng Mu for several seconds before Sheng Mu finally put aside the topic of "benefits" for the time being and spoke leisurely.

"I heard this hearsay from an old eunuch."

"Old eunuch?" Zhouze was confused and couldn't help interrupting.

"Well, the man from the previous dynasty is quite old. He didn't know about the evil magic called 'Human Tomb' a hundred years ago, but he was secretly appointed by the late emperor to seek immortality for him."

"Eternal life?" Zhouze caught the key word again.

Sheng Mu stared deeply at Zhouze for a while this time before slowly nodding.

Repeated: "Yes, eternal life."

At the same time, Zhouze had a bad premonition in his heart.

"You, are you trying to say that there is a magic called 'immortality'?"

Sheng Mu immediately seemed to laugh softly, but he didn't know if it was Zhouze's imagination.

Then he heard Sheng Mu's words that were equivalent to "You are right."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhouze: "..."

"It is rumored that the evil magic 'Human Tomb' can bring the dead back to life, and this secret method of 'immortality' can change one's life, increase one's lifespan, and transfer one's luck."

Zhou Ze's eyebrows tightened unconsciously when he heard this.

What is this?

A 'human grave' is already extremely evil, but now this 'immortality' sounds even more wrong.

It's really... the ancients really "played hard".

Zhou Ze pricked up his ears and listened more carefully.

"The old eunuch said that he secretly disguised himself as a Taoist priest and traveled around in search of immortality. In order to ensure his loyalty, the late emperor gave him a highly poisonous medicine, and he needed to take a special antidote every three months. "

"So, he actually has to report the information he found to the late emperor every three months."

"In the past, he had searched everywhere to no avail, so he was often punished by the late emperor to vent his hatred. The late emperor seemed to be wise and caring for the people, but in fact he was cruel, violent and selfish. Because the old eunuch was searched for so long but to no avail, the late emperor often whipped and slapped him, and also slapped him. Delaying the administration of the antidote will allow the old eunuch to suffer the pain of the poison."

"So vicious?" Zhouze was a little surprised.

Because although the battle to seize the heir was fierce, the late emperor never ended up personally and maintained an ambiguous attitude from beginning to end.

Therefore, in the memory of the original owner, several of the royal brothers who participated in the battle to seize the heir became hateful and unscrupulous, but this father-in-law has always been the image of a loving father and wise king.

As a result, he always thought that the late emperor was indeed a positive figure as rumored and remembered by the original owner.

Who knows that there might be such a behavior behind the scenes?

Zhouze's eyes were thoughtful, and he didn't fully believe what Sheng Mu said. After all, Sheng Mu himself said it, and it was hearsay.

He continued to listen.

I heard Sheng Mu's voice suddenly and faintly say:

"The old eunuch was tortured and just wanted to find the method of immortality as soon as possible. Perhaps the emperor paid off and he really found the method of immortality.

It's just... driven to the point of cruelty. "

How so cruel? Zhouze asked unconsciously in his heart.
