The scumbags all want to turn back

Ning Yuanchen has been sitting quietly on the sofa, propping his chin, looking at the sky outside the window, expressionless.A gust of wind blew by, and a group of frightened sparrows flew up with a clatter, circled in the dark blue sky, and fell back into the woods.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the smart sensor lights in the room are turned on, and the light becomes brighter and brighter as the sunset gradually recedes.Ning Yuanchen covered his eyes with his hands, and said in a low voice, "Turn off the lights!"

The whole room fell into darkness in an instant, only the remaining gloomy light from the sky and the lights from other rooms across the balcony came into the room.

Although Han Xun's holographic projection had long since disappeared from the room, his words still echoed in Ning Yuanchen's mind over and over again.

"What I'm going to say below is based on the fact that your mother is Miss Madeleine Royce." Han Xun called up a photo from his brain, and Ning Yuanchen recognized it at a glance as his mother, who was only 20 years old. "Because of His Majesty the Marshal's obstruction, I couldn't get more audiovisual materials of the Lingtang, but at least I kept this photo. This is the household registration identity that Duke Sanchez used when he made a false identity for your mother." Although the photo on the website has been processed by PS, with the latest technology, the traces of PS can be deleted, and finally this photo was restored. This should be your mother."

"You said that your mother was imprisoned when you were born, so I investigated all the missing and dead women in your mother's age group within five years from the date of your birth, and compared and screened through pictures In the end, there were a total of three women whose looks were so similar that the computer could not tell the difference between the photos. They all died, and one of them was Miss Madeleine Royce. I had someone investigate the information of the other two women, and I can confirm that One of the two ladies committed suicide and the other was an accident, both of which were indeed dead. Then the remaining Miss Madeleine is very likely to be your mother."

"As for why Miss Madeleine 'died' and your life experience, this involves a royal scandal... Although the news released by the royal family's public relations department is that the staff negligently confused the two Miss Royce, but the upper class The news that the nobles and high-ranking officials of the society got was that Miss Madeleine had eloped with her bodyguards. In order to cover up the scandal, the royal family and the Royce family let Miss Caitlin replace her, and claimed that Miss Madeleine died unexpectedly .

"However, it is not that no one suspects that there is fraud in this article. After all, it is the position of empress, and anyone who has talked about how the emperor and Miss Madeleine get along in private is very convinced of the relationship between the two, There was no reason for Miss Madeleine to elope with an ordinary bodyguard. There must be other inside stories, which led to the urgent replacement of fiancée candidates on the day before the engagement ceremony.

"From your date of birth, it can be calculated that Lingtang was pregnant before the engagement ceremony. Unless she really had an affair with someone else, then your biological father can only be the emperor. However, your mother had sex with other people The odds are too low, unless it's an undisclosed violation.

"As for why your mother eloped, we have discussed many possibilities. Among them, we think the most tenable theory is that Queen Caitlin did all of this. She probably murdered her own sister for the queen's position, In order not to let the queen's position fall into the hands of others, the Duke of Royce concealed everything for her and pushed her to the front, and the emperor took advantage of the opportunity to marry her in order to prevent the engagement ceremony from turning into a ridiculous scandal. Miss Caitlin."

"Of course, now that your existence proves that the queen did not directly kill Madeleine, then there may be another development: the queen imprisoned or had Lingtang kidnapped, and the Duke of Royce may have been deceived by the queen into thinking that Madeleine Miss Lynn is dead, that's why the empress and the emperor are engaged to avoid scandal. All in all, the Duke of Royce must have played some role in it, so it can explain why the Duchess of Royce broke with her husband and daughter , and the emperor treated these two people very coldly, only being close to the Duchess."

"According to what you said, the duchess and the emperor should have sensed that there was a problem, so why didn't they look for the missing Miss Madeleine. After all, they didn't find the body." Ning Yuanchen asked.

"This is a very complicated problem, and there are many possibilities." Han Xun smiled a little embarrassedly, "Of course, we can think on the bright side, maybe it's because they really didn't find it, but we can't rule it out. For reasons of profit or the dignity of the royal family, they voluntarily gave up looking for Lingtang, and even concealed clues. Although this sounds cruel, in this circle, facing unimaginable power and interests, human nature is also ugly. .We don’t usually have too many rosy fantasies about other people.”

"So, Yuanchen, I very much suspect that the Duchess of Royce approached you, not because you are someone Gu Zhaoting likes, not because they think you are a suitable candidate for the princess, but because they discovered your background. You Think about it, the marriage between the emperor and the empress was originally concluded because of a conspiracy, which gave the emperor enough reasons to divorce the empress, and also abolished Gu Zhaoting's crown prince, after all, he was originally due to the emperor's special edict Only then did he move from the back of the succession sequence to the front, and was named the prince.

"An illegitimate child who has no mother and has enmity with the mother's family is such a good tool. Through a farce of abolishing the empress, abolishing the reserve, and restoring your legal status, the emperor can completely disrupt the current situation and take his As for you, he also has enough reasons and excuses to deprive you of your right to inherit and hand over the throne to the real legal heir born to him and the new empress."

"Yuanchen, I know you have suffered a lot and yearn for relatives and family, but blood relationship is definitely not a reliable guarantee.

"However, it doesn't mean that you can't get close to them. Even if they have the mentality of using you, we can still use them to take back the crown prince."

Han Xun knelt at his feet and looked up at him: "You are not alone, you and I...Of course, there is also Shen Luojun. We will all stand behind you, you want peace We will not let anyone disturb you, if you want that position, we will do our best to remove all obstacles in your way."

The sky has completely darkened.Ning Yuanchen moved his stiff body, turned on the smart voice control system in the room, and carefully looked at his face in the mirror.

He looked terrible, with an ugly expression, sharp and angry eyes, downcast corners of his mouth, and a blue face, just like a corpse waiting to be dissected in the hospital, as if he had just escaped from a nightmare and was lifeless at all.

Ning Yuanchen took a deep breath, patted his face vigorously, and forced a stiff smile in the mirror.

relax a little.He closed his eyes and tried to think of some happy and beautiful things, but what appeared in front of his eyes was his mother's smiling face.Every time after a long period of almost endless waiting, in the villa that was like a prison cell, he could see his mother, see her excited smile and tears of joy, and feel her strong hug and warm love. Wet kisses, her beautiful voice lingered in his ears like music, calling out to him: "My cutest baby... Mommy's favorite little darling..."

It was the happiest time of the year for him.

"Fuck!" Ning Yuanchen opened his eyes abruptly, and punched the mirror in front of him. Cracks like spider webs spread instantly, and the fragments and bright red blood droplets fell to the ground together, making a crisp impact sound.The life monitoring and scanning system in the room sounded an alarm in the next second, and Ning Yuanchen shouted impatiently, "Shut up!"

He quickly walked towards the nanny robot flying towards him, took out the therapeutic device from its tray and stuck it on his hand.There was an itching and tingling sensation when the wound was healing immediately.He closed his eyes again, raised his head, took a deep breath, and breathed out.

The violent catharsis and the pain of the wound made him feel a lot better, as if the shroud and coffin that had just wrapped him up as a walking dead body were shattered by this blow, he still felt angry, and the anger of hatred continued and scorched Burning, but he regained his control.He turned his head and faced his own projection on the window glass, showing a gentle smile, as if the person who smashed a mirror just now was not him, and his hands had never been injured and bled.

Ten minutes later, Ning Yuanchen, who had packed up again, came to the dining room. He ignored Han Xun's worried gaze, and came to the Duchess of Royce, letting her hold his arm intimately, like an ordinary docile and obedient man. And some shy kids.

Mu Jingfeng also noticed Ning Yuanchen's abnormality. He kept an eye on Ning Yuanchen's movements all the time, and naturally discovered the slight difference between him and the one before changing clothes for the dinner.He also noticed Han Xun's gaze.

He couldn't be sure that Ning Yuanchen's anomaly was because he was still Han Xun, so he could only hide all his anxiety in his heart, and he could only hope that he could find an opportunity to solve the problem for him as soon as possible.

And Mr. Mu was also observing his grandson, and he naturally discovered that Mu Jingfeng had been secretly paying attention to Ning Yuanchen.The old man smiled secretly, recalling the shy years when he was young and dating, while running to find the host of the party, and secretly changed the order of seating before the banquet officially opened.

So, after Ning Yuanchen took his seat, he found himself sitting between Mr. Mu and Mu Jingfeng, while the Duchess of Royce was sitting on the other side of Mr. Mu.

Upon seeing this, the Duchess of Royce immediately raised her face: "Old Mu, what are you doing?"

"I'm thinking about Yuan Chen's development in the military." Mr. Mu said eloquently, "Yu Si, Jing Feng is Yuan Chen's senior and senior, Yu Gong, Jing Feng is Yuan Chen's future superior, since Yuan Chen If you want to come to the military headquarters, you naturally have to ask your seniors for advice and establish a good relationship with your superiors in advance, otherwise how will you get promoted and get rich in the future, right?"

The Duchess of Royce was amused by him, she shook her head and said, "You think I don't know what you're thinking? Come on, Yuan Chen, don't be afraid, sit in my seat, and I'll have a good talk with Your Excellency the Marshal. future development."

In the end, Ning Yuanchen and Duchess Royce changed seats.Although Mr. Mu was disappointed, he didn't gain anything at all.The very talkative Mr. Mu has been grabbing Ning Yuanchen and talking non-stop, from calligraphy to military anecdotes, from the current information and personal likes and dislikes of major senior generals, to Mu Jingfeng's childhood embarrassment and growth experience, he started from sitting down. Just kept talking until it was completely over and everyone went back to the living room to continue chatting, and finally until it was bedtime.

Ning Yuanchen has no interest in Mu Jingfeng's affairs at all. To be precise, he feels disgusted when he hears about Mu Jingfeng's affairs.But Mr. Mu himself is an old man who is easy to get close to, and the things he said that have nothing to do with Mu Jingfeng are very interesting and useful.Ning Yuanchen didn't want to give up the idea of ​​joining the military headquarters because of Mu Jingfeng's existence, so he still took notes of what Old Master Mu said very seriously.

Back in the guest room, the broken mirror in the bathroom had been replaced.Ning Yuanchen washed up and lay down on the bed without any sleepiness.

His guest room is located on the two wings of this concave-shaped mansion, and the window of the opposite room can be seen through the window.Ning Yuanchen kept staring out of the window until all the lights in the opposite rooms were turned off, and he still couldn't close his eyes in the wee hours of the morning when the night was quiet.

He sat up and jumped out of bed, went to the balcony, leaned on the railing, looked at the garden and fountain downstairs, and the fluorescent flowers floating in the air.This is a newly developed plant species that can glow like fireflies. The owner of the house puts clusters of them in small floating glass vases. When night falls, these vases are released from nowhere. Floating around the house, like a group of living ghosts, scattered for a while, and gathered together again for a while.

Ning Yuanchen stretched out his hand from the balcony, grabbed a vase and dragged it over, took out a flower from it and pinned it to his chest, then let go of the vase.The vase flew away quickly and returned to its established track.

The entire mansion has fallen into a deep sleep.Ning Yuanchen looked at the sparkling small lake not far away, and suddenly his heart moved, and then he put on his nightgown, turned around, left the room and went downstairs, left the house, and came to the lake.

In the middle of the night, the humid and cold air in November made Ning Yuanchen shiver, and it also calmed down his chaotic brain like boiling thick soup.He sat down on the bench by the lake, sorted out everything he heard from Han Xun today, and finally buried his face in his hands and sighed.

What should he do?

The five worlds in the system have already exhausted him. In fact, all he wants is a comfortable life where he can do whatever he wants. He doesn't want to worry about gain and loss, and work hard. What he wants is happiness and stability, which is a bit The pursuit, but it does not have to be realized, chic and comfortable, carefree.

If he was just an ordinary person without such a complicated life experience, if those five men hadn't appeared in this world and didn't come to disturb him, then the money rewarded to him by the system would be enough for him to live the life he wanted.

But now everything is farther and farther away from his original goal.

There was the rustling of feet stepping on the grass from behind.Ning Yuanchen sat up abruptly and looked back, Mu Jingfeng was standing not far behind him with a coat on his arm.

"It's very late." He came over and put his clothes on the back of the bench, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Ning Yuanchen sneered: "Stop pretending?"

Mu Jingfeng didn't speak, put his hands in his trouser pockets, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the lake beside him.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, this affectionate look is not suitable for you." Ning Yuanchen picked up the clothes on the bench with two fingers, as if holding some garbage, and threw it on the ground, "I'm still more used to it." You look ruthless, for example, let Butler Liu tie me up in the middle of the night, not even letting me bring a decent piece of clothing, and throwing me back to the south hall."

A pained expression immediately appeared on Mu Jingfeng's face: "That's not the case... I didn't..."

However, Ning Yuanchen waved his hand and interrupted him: "That's it. I don't know what made you change your mind suddenly, but at the beginning, you didn't plan to have too much contact with me, I was right Bar?"

He stood up, backed up and said, "Please be sure to return to the old state. You treated me well, but in the end you sold me, and I paid back with death. What happened in the previous life is what happened in the previous life. Who are we? I don’t owe anyone, just like you thought at the beginning, just be a stranger. Don’t bother me.”

He suddenly thought of something, took out something from the space chip and threw it over: "Give it back to you."

Mu Jingfeng reached out to catch it, and saw that it was a semi-military mecha he had used. "Yuanchen," he said in a low voice, with a hint of discomfort from being hurt, "this mecha is very useful to you."

"When I think of the cockpit where you lay down, I feel uncomfortable." Ning Yuanchen said, "To be honest, I don't have to enter the military department."

He turned around and hurried back to the room, leaving Mu Jingfeng behind.

Mu Jingfeng watched his figure disappear all the way to the door, then bent down to pick up his coat, and went back to the room.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard the door of the next room also open.Mu Jingtang came out in his pajamas, and stopped beside him: "What did you do?"

"It's nothing." Mu Jingfeng didn't want to say more.

"Brother, are you crazy?" Mu Jingtang said softly, "That's the future princess."

Mu Jingfeng didn't speak, just opened the door and walked in.Mu Jingtang followed closely behind, staring at his expression, and pretending to be cheerful: "Well, if you insist on him, it's not impossible... But you have a tough battle to fight, after all You not only have to earn money with the prince, but also Third Young Master Shen. According to people in his dormitory, Third Young Master Shen often sends him things. Ah, you may have to add His Excellency Marquis Han Xun, and I will tell you quietly, I heard that Ning My classmate went on a date with Han Xun on weekends... She is really popular, Jing Feng, if you don't fall in love, you just choose the one with the highest degree of difficulty..."

"That's enough, Jingtang." Mu Jingfeng interrupted him, "Things are not what you think."

Mu Jingtang paused, and suddenly there was a hint of expectation in his voice: "What is that like?"

"Sorry, this is my private matter." Mu Jingfeng said, "Thank you for caring about me, but let me handle my affairs by myself. Yuan Chen...does have a lot of rumors, I can't control others , but I hope you can stop saying this in front of me."

"Are you defending his reputation?" Mu Jingtang's voice trembled, "What he did is worth your doing."

Mu Jingfeng frowned: "What's wrong with you?"

Mu Jingfeng is very emotionally dull and numb, and his two lifetimes of affection were almost only used on Ning Yuanchen, so he didn't realize that Mu Jingtang had special feelings for him. A cousin of the same clan, he has always regarded Mu Jingtang as his own younger brother, and has never thought about anything else, thinking that he only reacted like this because he looked down on Ning Yuanchen.

Mu Jingtang stared at him for a long time, and found in despair that Mu Jingfeng hadn't realized what was on his mind at all.He opened his mouth, but found that as a younger brother, he really didn't have any position or reason to question his brother's relationship issues.

"I don't think he's suitable for you." Mu Jingtang finally said.

"You misunderstood, I didn't mean to..." Mu Jingfeng took a deep breath, "Forget it, Jingtang, don't bother me about my affairs. If you can, help me take care of Yuan when I'm at school. Chen. If it’s not possible, forget it, just don’t spread these rumors in front of others. He is not the kind of person you think.”

Mu Jingtang slammed the door and left.Mu Jingfeng still didn't feel sleepy, so he simply started to deal with the military affairs, and didn't close his eyes for a while until it was dawn.

Ning Yuanchen also didn't sleep well. Fortunately, he went back to school the next afternoon, slept soundly all night, and recovered on Monday morning.

It didn't last long, however.On Tuesday evening, Ning Yuanchen had just returned to the dormitory when he received an email from Leo.He carelessly wrote his name in the sender column, as if he didn't worry that Ning Yuanchen would delete his letter without opening it.

Ning Yuanchen's curiosity really defeated his aversion to Leo.He opened the email, unzipped the package, and began to browse through the information inside, his expression became uglier the more he looked at it.

Leo was telling him that Shen Luojun had been investigating his details, and Leo followed his footsteps in the investigation, and now both of them had discovered the secret of his property.
