Neverland

Xu Muzhou pursed his lips, and he looked at Liu Yingying with serious eyes, as if he wanted to see regret and guilt from her exquisite face.

But he saw nothing.

The imperial concubine, who was supported by gold and jade, had a ruddy complexion and a good figure, and her frown and smile were full of charm. At this time, she was leaning on the soft pillow, her brows and eyes were full of self-satisfied smiles.

Xu Muzhou took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his chest, and said as calmly as possible: "You killed someone, don't you feel guilty?"

"Who did I kill?" Liu Yingying widened her eyes in surprise and said, "Did I kill you?"

"Didn't Meng Wanqing and Song Xueyao both died at your hands?" Xu Muzhou sneered: "Of course you can argue that Meng Wanqing committed suicide, she didn't die at your hands, so you can tell yourself that you There is nothing wrong - but Song Xueyao, you can ask yourself, do you have a clear conscience."

Yan Cen turned his head to look at Xu Muzhou, and frowned indistinctly.

Liu Yingying laughed suddenly, as if she heard some very funny joke.

"You are so naive." Liu Yingying said, "Meng Wanqing, you are always so naive."

Xu Muzhou frowned in disgust.

Liu Yingying gracefully supported the soft couch and tried to straighten herself up, but the medicine was probably too powerful, she tried twice but failed, so she had to resort to supporting her elbows, changing from a prostrate position to leaning.

"Why should I tell myself that I did nothing wrong, Meng Wanqing, do you never understand that human life is just a synonym?" Liu Yingying seemed a little sleepy, she frowned, and rubbed her face with her index finger unhappy Only then did he continue to say: "—whether it's you or Song Xueyao. The harem is like this, anyone who stands in the way will die, you, me, and her—"

Liu Yingying pointed at Yan Cen, and said: "They are all pronouns-what imperial concubine, empress, concubine Shu, just a title that represents power and status. If you want to live better in the harem, you have to wear better clothes. title."

Xu Muzhou couldn't accept that Liu Yingying could lightly take two lives with such homely words, as if she hadn't been a murderer, but just pulled out two wild flowers at the gate of the courtyard.

"Then why did Meng Wanqing block your way?" Xu Muzhou's chest heaved twice, and he asked with a suppressed temper: "She is from outside, and she has no mother or parents. As the queen, it is impossible for a child to be a prince, so what kind of enmity does she have with you?"

"There is no enmity between you and me." Liu Yingying flicked her nails uninterestedly: "Don't think too highly of yourself, I haven't put you in my eyes yet, my enemy is only Song Xueyao from the beginning to the end Just one person."

Xu Muzhou said, "Then—"

"I just don't like Song Xueyao." Liu Yingying interrupted him: "When she is happy, I am not happy. If she is not happy, I am happy——you are so attractive to her, if something happens to you, she will definitely be very upset Not happy."

Liu Yingying covered her lips and laughed, she glanced at Xu Muzhou with a kind of gentle eyes that made goose bumps, and said lightly: "I thought you would hang yourself to show your ambition at most, but you are more than I thought. You have to live up to it—speaking of which, Song Xueyao was very sad when you rejected the imperial physician, right?"

"However, her character has always been lukewarm, like water, and she probably won't tell you when she's sad. Song Xueyao will die if she thinks too much about respect or disrespect." Liu Yingying frowned as she spoke, dissatisfied: "But having said that, why is Song Xueyao so disappointing? She died so early, which caught me off guard."

"Didn't you want to kill her?" Xu Muzhou asked back.

"I want to kill her." Liu Yingying's tone was drawn out, and she glanced at Yan Cen with roving eyes, probably mistaking him for Song Xueyao.But she looked away again, looked at Xu Muzhou, and retorted confidently: "If I don't kill her, I will be a head shorter than her in my life. If she doesn't die, I will be a concubine in my life, and my son will always be better than his son." If you are short, who wants to be trampled under their feet for the rest of their lives."

"It's just—" Liu Yingying said regretfully, "I didn't want to let her die so early. I wanted to take the medicine slowly, wait for a few years, survive two drafts, and let her die when the people in the harem are almost ready. Yes. Now that she has died like this, I have become the target of public criticism, which is really troublesome."

Xu Muzhou felt that his and Liu Yingying's brain circuits might not be on the same level.

All vicious things in this world have a reason, but Xu Muzhou never expected that Liu Yingying's attack on Meng Wanqing was not to suppress Song Xueyao, nor to kill her, she just wanted to let Song Xueyao Not happy, trying to make her sad.

But this goal is too small, and there is no need to use such a tragic method as a human life to achieve it. If she is replaced with a kitten or a puppy, or Song Xueyao's favorite hairpin jewelry, it seems that Liu Yingying, who is "insignificant", can be achieved. small goals.

But Xu Muzhou also knew that Liu Yingying would not change.

Because Meng Wanqing was not considered a person in Liu Yingying's eyes, but just an object.

The subtle emotions that have been accumulated in his heart since he came to this world swelled instantly at this moment. Liu Yingying, like Wei Wenxuan, they are people of this age and status. In this environment surrounded by tigers and wolves, there are two different types.

This deformed environment has created a human thinking mode, as if as long as people are treated as human beings, they will definitely not be able to survive.

Xu Muzhou clenched and loosened the hand hanging by his side. He looked at Liu Yingying, suddenly sneered, turned around and strode out the door.

Yan Cen frowned and clicked his tongue, and stepped out to follow.

The effect of the perspiration medicine lasts for an hour, and there is still more than an hour before the strength of the medicine dissipates. Xu Muzhou went out the gate unimpeded all the way, swaggering aggressively, and when he reached the gate, he was so angry that he kicked the gate, Almost brought down the unconscious guard leaning against the gate.

After Xu Muzhou kicked it, he turned his head and walked out. Yan Cen chased after him one step behind, and stretched out his hand to grab Xu Muzhou's shoulder.Xu Muzhou didn't argue with him, and turned around.

He was so angry that his chest heaved violently, Yan Cen could only swallow the words that came to his lips, he glanced back to make sure no one had noticed their whereabouts, so he grabbed Xu Muzhou's arm and said, "Let's go first. "

Xu Muzhou silently let him drag him forward, and walked straight for more than ten, twenty, ten minutes, and Yan Cen let go of his hand when he reached an unfamiliar palace road with no village in front and no shop behind.

"What did you want to do just now?" Yan Cen asked.

Xu Muzhou didn't speak.

Yan Cen didn't force him, and lightly took his hand, and pulled the hydrangea out from under his wrist.

The progress bar on it dropped a little more, Xu Muzhou also subconsciously glanced there, and found that it was less than one third.

Now Xu Muzhou has gradually figured out the law of the progress bar's decline, probably because this small thing is not very big, so the progress bar seems to have a scale, and the stop position of the progress bar is the same every time.Although the method and speed of the progress bar falling are different each time, the point of stagnation of the progress bar is not bad.

Now Xu Muzhou is very familiar with the amount of black slime left on the progress bar. When he finds another node, the progress on the top will drop by half again until there is only a thin bottom left, and it will all turn white as long as the task is completed.

"It should be a little bit worse." Yan Cen said.He didn't continue the questioning just now, Xu Muzhou is very easy to understand, Yan Cen knew without thinking, at that moment just now, Xu Muzhou wanted Liu Yingying to pay the price.

But since Xu Muzhou's attitude was to listen to persuasion, rather than indulge his impulses, Yan Cen felt that there was no need to ask more about this matter, and chose a tactful way to move past the topic.

"This matter has been clarified, and the progress bar is still close, which means that there are still clues that have not been found." Yan Cen said: "Wait until you find that bone flute, and then look at the follow-up situation, how about it?"

Xu Muzhou frowned, and hummed reluctantly.

After watching the progress, Yan Cen held Xu Muzhou's wrist and put the hydrangea back together, then touched Xu Muzhou's face to comfort him.

"Angry?" Yan Cen asked.

Xu Muzhou said, "I find it ridiculous."

Yan Cen smiled, stroked his side face with his thumb, hummed softly, and said: "As we said before, don't be too true to the mission world. The environment here is like this, and so are people's ideas. That's it. Since you can't change it, don't care too much about it, otherwise you will just make yourself uncomfortable."

"No, it's a matter of nature." Xu Muzhou looked into Yan Cen's eyes seriously, and said, "There are many dark events in this world, I understand, and I understand. I don't think there can only be white people in this world. Hei, he can even understand Robert, and even those bastards who bully Sun Qian—because their actions are all reasonable."

"But Liu Yingying is different." Xu Muzhou said.

Yan Cen's hand stopped, but it didn't stop Xu Muzhou from continuing.

"Count Robert killed for his own selfishness. He thought in his heart that the lives of those girls would help him. I can say that he is cruel, I can also say that he is bloody, and that his crime is unforgivable. Not too much." Xu Muzhou took a deep breath: "But what about Liu Yingying, and Meng Wanqing? Meng Wanqing is a woman of a different race, and her mother's family was trampled down by 80 iron hooves. What can she do to Liu Yingying in this life? Dangerous! Liu Yingying is completely standing in the supreme position, wantonly playing with other people's lives!"

"It's not called guilt. Guilty is not enough to describe her behavior." Xu Muzhou said: "She has no respect for life, nor does she have any respect for human life. Let me tell you, Yan Cen, nothing can override Above human rights... This has nothing to do with the hierarchy and other things derived from the normal background of the times. Treating 'people' as 'people' is the bottom line for a person to live."
