Mermaid Wen paranoid villain overturned

In the early morning of the next day, it began to rain lightly on Cang Rui Xing.

After a low fever all night, Lu Yunwan's eyelids became heavy.

Lu Yunwan didn't sleep well last night, the memory from the original owner played back in his mind over and over again.

Even the strange smell on the abandoned planet still didn't seem to dissipate.

"Ahem..." As soon as he opened his eyes, Lu Yunwan coughed heartbreakingly.

The tingling sensation in his lungs finally pulled his thoughts back from that memory back then.

Lu Yunwan stared at the gray ceiling of the bedroom in a daze for a while, and then slowly recalled what happened yesterday.

He asked "Lu Sirong" to go back to find Pei Zhao'an, and then... went back to the bedroom with Chu Xuanzhou.

...Chu Xuanzhou? !

Thinking of this, Lu Yunwan finally woke up completely.

Although the amount of information about yesterday's incident was a bit large, it was not so large that Lu Yunwan could forget the incident on Gwendolyn.

Chu Xuanzhou used incomparably cruel means to torture and kill his opponent.

Regardless of whether he did it by accident or on purpose, it deserves his own attention.

Thinking of what happened on Gwendolyn, Lu Yunwan's palms broke out in cold sweat.

He found that he slept so deeply last night that Lu Yunwan couldn't even recall exactly how long Chu Xuanzhou stayed here yesterday.

The Lord Regent gritted his teeth lightly and got off the bed.

Cang Ruixing, who had been gloomy for an unknown amount of time, suddenly began to rain lightly this morning, and the wet and cold breath seeped in through the cracks in the door and windows.

Although it has been in this world for more than a year, Lu Yunwan is still a little bit unacceptable to such a climate.

The moist air is like the tentacles of sea creatures, entwining themselves silently...

Lu Yunwan was still wearing the black clothes from yesterday, and after getting up, he walked towards the cloakroom first.

Sensing the arrival of the master, the door of the closet behind him opened automatically.

Then Lu Yunwan continued to think about the abnormalities on Chu Xuanzhou's body, while casually unbuttoning his shirt...

"What is this?" But a few seconds later, Lu Yunwan suddenly frowned and looked in the mirror ahead.

Then he couldn't resist taking a small step forward.

Lu Yunwan frowned, and slowly pulled down the collar.

A black and blue mark appeared on Lu Yunwan's side neck at some unknown time.

He stretched out his hand and touched it lightly: "Hiss..." A pain came from the side of his neck.

Lu Yunwan turned around and saw - not only on the side of his neck, but the mark "spread" all the way to the back of his neck.

Lu Yunwan:! !

What is this stuff? !

Although he was a little psychologically prepared, Lu Yunwan was still taken aback the moment he saw this mark.

Looking carefully at this mark, it is actually not too deep, but if you want to blame it, you can blame Lu Yunwan's pale skin.

That bit of black and blue is like ink dots accidentally splashed on white paper, too dazzling to ignore.

After seeing clearly what was on the neck, he instinctively stretched out his hand to cover the neck, and then there was another burst of soreness in the wound.

The original owner is a person who pays great attention to personal privacy. The only place on Cangrui Planet that is not covered by surveillance is his bedroom.

Although Lu Yunwan did not have any evidence now, Chu Xuanzhou and the strong sense of danger in him immediately alerted Lu Yunwan.

...Could this be left by Chu Xuanzhou?

A strong sense of unease came up, Lu Yunwan gritted his teeth and took off his shirt completely.

Seeing that he only had this mark on his body, Lu Yunwan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He quickly changed his clothes, turned and walked out of the cloakroom.

……

The original owner's confidant, Aitwen, told Lu Yunwan that just a few hours ago, the military department suddenly sent an urgent mission to summon Chu Xuanzhou to the vicinity of Capital Star to perform official duties.

Hearing this, Lu Yunwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The finishing work on Gwendolyn was carried out by the people he brought along. The first thing Lu Yunwan had to do was to conduct autopsies on them... Besides, there were more people who died at the hands of Chu Xuanzhou. people.

Lu Yunwan wanted to confirm how Chu Xuanzhou killed those people.

... I hope everything is just my own overthinking.

After arranging Aitwen, Lu Yunwan couldn't help but patted his cheek lightly, forcing himself to get out of the messy things before.

The confusion caused by Lu Sirong did not affect the healing experiment guided by spiritual power. On the contrary, taking advantage of the temporary lack of response from Pei Zhao'an, Lu Yunwan and Song Feiyan even accelerated the speed of the experiment.

The fourth phase of the experiment was coming to an end, and Lu Yunwan became a little nervous.

Time passed day by day.

At this time, Empire Day came.

Although this day is celebrated every year, according to imperial tradition, it is only celebrated every ten years.

This is undoubtedly the most grand event in the imperial decade.

When the last celebration was held, the queen mother had not passed away, and the empire was still firmly controlled by her.

By this time, the supreme ruler of the empire in all senses had become Chu Zhang.

Although he had been emptied by the regent, the arrival of the celebration still made Chu Zhang excited.

The ruler of the empire, who usually does nothing, started arranging the celebration himself, as if he suddenly woke up from his sleep.

-

A few weeks later, Capital Star.

Legend has it that mermaids first came from a planet covered by glaciers and oceans.

Therefore, the place where the Empire Memorial Day was held was also set on the cold pole of Capital Star.

It is far away from direct sunlight, and the annual average temperature is around minus [-] degrees Celsius, which is extremely humid and cold.

Unlike humans, mermaids with strong physiques can accept this temperature without stress, and even feel comfortable.

The starship slowly landed on the huge ice sheet.

Lu Yunwan saw through the porthole—a huge ice-blue ring was suspended in the sky not far away.

It was glowing coldly under the sunlight.

Both like a ribbon and a machete.

This is the "Hall of Eternity" where today's event is held.

In order to come here to participate in the event, Lu Yunwan also wore a black, floor-sweeping fur cape over the dress.

A dark red medal was affixed to his heart, and with Lu Yunwan's movements, it glowed a dark light that could not be ignored.

This dark color is particularly dazzling on the ice blue capital star.

The arrival of the Regent stopped all those who had not yet entered the Palace of Eternity.

They immediately stood in place, put their hands on their hearts and saluted Lu Yunwan.

The regent just smiled, and then walked straight towards the Palace of Eternity as if he hadn't seen anything.

……so cold!

This is really not a place for humans to stay.

In addition to the character design not allowing it, Lu Yunwan really couldn't stay here for a second.

Although the cloak he wore today looked heavy, it was not as warm as he had imagined because it was too loose.

As soon as the cabin door was opened, a gust of cold wind blew towards Lu Yunwan, blowing him thoroughly in an instant.

Suspended shooting equipment from various interstellar media huddled together under the Hall of Eternity.

The pictures here will be faithfully recorded by the suspended camera, sent to the star network in its entirety, and permanently stored.

Seeing this, Lu Yunwan, who originally wanted to walk quickly towards the Palace of Eternity, also slowed down.

Speaking of which, the original owner was compared to "a human being who is more mermaid than a mermaid" and there is really no reason for it.

Lu Yunwan once saw the holographic record of him coming to the Palace of Eternity on his optical brain. Although the cold wind was howling around him, he still greeted the mermaid with a smile on his face as if he didn't feel anything.

This is really not something that ordinary people can do!

Thinking of this, Lu Yunwan subconsciously clenched his cane.

But just a few seconds later, the howling cold wind suddenly quieted down.

A familiar figure appeared beside Lu Yunwan.

"Lord Regent, are you still cold?" The young man's gentle and caring voice appeared in Lu Yunwan's ear, it was Chu Xuanzhou...

He blocked the biting cold wind on the other side.

Lu Yunwan smiled, then shook his head lightly and said, "No, thank you Your Highness for your concern."

Hearing this, Chu Xuanzhou suddenly turned his gaze to one side in embarrassment.

…Except for the incident on Gwendolyn not long ago, the other wars were a long time ago, and a lot of evidence could not be excavated or preserved.

So although Lu Yunwan had already sent people to investigate, until now there was no clear result.

Recently, Chu Xuanzhou has been staying at the military headquarters.

Ever since Lu Yunwan discovered the mark on his neck last time, Lu Yunwan had never been with Chu Xuanzhou face to face like this.

The moment the boy approached, Lu Yunwan instinctively realized the danger.

But he still forcibly suppressed this feeling.

A small levitator came down from the Palace of Eternity, and Lu Yunwan and Chu Xuanzhou walked up it side by side.

But a few seconds later, Lu Yunwan and Chu Xuanzhou arrived at their destination.

They entered the interior of the "Hall of Eternity"!

Although he had already made psychological preparations, Lu Yunwan subconsciously shivered when he felt the biting chill the moment he stepped into the Palace of Eternity.

Unlike the ice field just now, the Temple of Eternity is made of a material similar to ice.

Lu Yunwan had never heard of this material in his previous life.

Its shape, temperature, and texture are infinitely close to real ice, but its strength and hardness are greater than metal.

That material is beautiful, but extremely rare.

Except for the capital star, the palace of eternity, it can generally only be used as jewelry.

"Master Regent, good morning."

"Good morning, Your Highness."

Seeing Lu Yunwan and Chu Xuanzhou appearing together, the surrounding ministers who had already arrived at the Palace of Eternity immediately surrounded them.

Hearing their greetings, Lu Yunwan smiled and nodded slightly as usual.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think in my heart... the protagonist really deserves to be the protagonist!

Lu Yunwan noticed sensitively that whether it was the ministers of his faction or the traditional nobles of the empire, when they called Chu Xuanzhou, they no longer called him "His Nine Highnesses", but directly called him Chu Xuanzhou. "Your Highness."

This is a signal that cannot be ignored:

No matter what Chu Zhang thought, in the hearts of most people in the empire, Chu Xuanzhou had become the first choice to inherit the royal family.

-

Thinking of this, Lu Yunwan couldn't help but smiled in relief.

"Has the Lord Regent thought of any happy things?" At this time, the officials who had gathered around to say hello also retreated one after another. After seeing Lu Yunwan's expression, Chu Xuanzhou couldn't help asking him.

Lu Yunwan gently gathered his collar, and said to Chu Xuanzhou: "Your Highness has been recognized by many people in the empire. Before I knew it, you had grown to the point where you could be your own leader."

Lu Yunwan's tone was extremely gratifying.

"My lord regent, I..." Hearing this, Chu Xuanzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks, and he suddenly looked at Lu Yunwan with a little helplessness, "You gave me everything, even though I have already entered the the military, but there is still a lot to learn.”

...What does the protagonist mean by this?

In fact, Lu Yunwan really praised Chu Xuanzhou sincerely just now.

But he didn't know that because of the ghost in his heart, after hearing Lu Yunwan's praise, Chu Xuanzhou became nervous before he had time to be happy.

Was the regent doubting himself?

Or what did he find out?

Suddenly, Lu Yunwan really didn't understand why Chu Xuanzhou reacted like this.

But no matter what, the image of the Regent cannot be affected!

Hearing his words, Lu Yunwan nodded with a smile, subconsciously twirled his cane lightly, then raised his eyes to look at Chu Xuanzhou with a half-smile and said, "Okay, I understand."

The irises of mermaids are generally lighter in color, and in complete contrast to them, Lu Yunwan's eyes are like a bottomless pool.

From his eyes, almost no emotion can be discerned.

He looked very mysterious.

Lu Yunwan's glance made Chu Xuanzhou tense instantly...

Chu Xuanzhou didn't know that Lu Yunwan was secretly investigating him, but he knew that Lu Yunwan must not be an ordinary person if he could go from a low-level human to the position of regent.

Is he doubting himself?

The boy tried his best to suppress his uneasiness.

One of Lu Yunwan and Chu Xuanzhou is the regent, and the other is the prince of the empire. As important participants, when they arrived at the Palace of Eternity, the time for the official ceremony was approaching.

Just as the doubts and anxiety in Chu Xuanzhou's heart were getting stronger, an ice waterfall suddenly fell in the center of the main banquet hall of the Palace of Eternity.

In an instant, a bone-piercing chill surged up.

"so cold……"

"Why is it so cold today?"

"Didn't you see that icefall last time?"

Because of Lu Yunwan's existence, there were many more humans in the upper echelons of the empire.

At the same time that the ice waterfall appeared, there was a whisper in Lu Yunwan's ear.

The surrounding humans complained about the sudden drop in temperature.

Lu Yunwan knew without thinking that this was a trick Chu Zhang was planning to play against him.

But unlike other human beings, the expression on Lu Yunwan's face did not change the slightest.

What will be held at this time is the welcome banquet before the official ceremony.

A few minutes later, Chu Zhang, the nominal ruler of the empire, appeared in front of the ice waterfall.

——He was wearing a white robe, which was extremely gorgeous, but even this couldn't cover up the decadent temperament of the mermaid.

He looked around indifferently, and then pretended to be serious and read the celebration draft drafted by the people around him.

Long-term overdose of drugs made Chu Zhang's brain response extremely slow.

Although it could be seen that he had been preparing for a long time before today, Chu Zhang couldn't help but stumble when reading the manuscript on the light screen.

Seeing this, Lu Yunwan couldn't help but lower his head and smile.

Tsk tsk, you still want to embarrass yourself with this overdose and terminal illness?

Noticing the movement around him, Chu Xuanzhou couldn't help casting his curious gaze over.

Realizing that the protagonist was looking at him, Lu Yunwan said with a smile: "Your Highness, the more people who lack something, the more they want to prove something. Obviously now the entire StarCraft knows that this huge empire is not under his control, but he still does it. Such a grand event."

"You say, who else could he have fooled but himself?"

He does not mean that.

Lu Yunwan dared to swear to God, he really only said these words to mock the people on stage.

But the last sentence fell into Chu Xuanzhou's ears, and the flavor changed accidentally.

... Who else could he have fooled but himself?

Is the Lord Regent referring to Chu Zhang or himself?

"Cough cough cough... in star calendar three... uh, three..."

Lu Yunwan didn't expect that after he satirized Chu Zhang just now, the other party really couldn't even read a complete sentence.

At this moment, there was a whisper of voices around.

Logically speaking, Lu Yunwan, who is the regent, should be in the front row now.

But this time the organizer of the anniversary was Chu Zhang, who hated him the most. In order to "eliminate the prestige of the regent", he deliberately did not arrange the positions according to the official position.

At this time, all the people crowded in the front row were those "Empire Elders" or nobles with deep qualifications but little power.

Therefore, Lu Yunwan took a little effort to see the front.

I saw Chu Zhang's face suddenly flushed red for some reason.

Seeing the ruler of the empire like this, the 360-degree suspended camera that surrounded him fell to the ground.

——This is the signal for the sudden suspension of the live broadcast.

"The live broadcast has been suspended." Seeing the young man frowning at this moment, Lu Yunwan immediately said to Chu Xuanzhou, "Chu Zhang's condition should not be very good."

Generally speaking, if such a situation suddenly occurs during the ceremony, the star network media in charge of filming will have to observe for a while before deciding whether to suspend the filming.

This should last for a period of time, instead of putting down all the hovering cameras in one go like now.

"They should have known the situation in Chuzhang in advance, and made a plan for this situation."

Hearing Lu Yunwan's words, Chu Xuanzhou paused and nodded accordingly.

"Your Majesty, this should not be the first time this has happened."

Otherwise, such preparations would not be made.

Lu Yunwan subconsciously looked up.

Then he immediately frowned.

Lu Yunwan saw...the face of Chu Zhang standing in the center of the Palace of Eternity turned purple.

He looked as if he was suffocated.

After a few seconds, he standing on the stage suddenly laughed out loud.

There was a hint of madness in his calm gaze just now.

People around started to disperse.

"Lord Regent, let's leave here first..." Chu Xuanzhou suddenly grabbed Lu Yunwan's wrist, intending to lead him back.

Unlike others, Chu Xuanzhou's tone was very calm.

Lu Yunwan nodded lightly at first, and before he could back away, the chill that could not be ignored in the Eternal Hall suddenly penetrated the flesh and seeped into Lu Yunwan's bones.

He knows what's wrong!

The reason why the surrounding mermaids dispersed so quickly was because they all understood what happened to Chu Zhang!

——This is the reaction of the mermaid after a short-term overdose of drugs.

The reason why Chu Xuanzhou is so calm may not be because of his character.

It's because...he did it!

"Okay." Lu Yunwan nodded with Chu Xuanzhou while recalling quickly, and then retreated to the other side of the Eternal Palace together.

This guess made Lu Yunwan nervous.

He even subconsciously wanted to get rid of the hand that the mermaid was holding tightly on his wrist.

Lu Yunwan's guess did not come out of thin air.

Because that's what Chu Xuanzhou did in the novel "Mermaid Empire"!

Lu Yunwan suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and retreated to another hall with Chu Xuanzhou.

This place is closer to the core of the Temple of Eternity, and the temperature is lower than the place just now.

As soon as he stood still, Chu Xuanzhou pulled off his coat, intending to put it on for Lu Yun.

——He saw that Lu Yunwan's lips turned pale after being exposed to low temperature for a long time.

But as soon as Chu Xuanzhou raised his hand, Lu Yunwan subconsciously took a step back.

"Lord Regent? Aren't you willing to wear my clothes?" The boy's tone carried a sense of disbelief, and at the same time, there was a grievance that could not be ignored.

Lu Yunwan:! !

Just now Lu Yunwan couldn't help recalling Chu Xuanzhou in the original book, and at the same time thought of his own ending.

Chu Xuanzhou's sudden attack startled him.

But as the regent, of course he couldn't tell the truth.

There was no other way, Lu Yunwan gritted his teeth suddenly, then raised his eyes and smiled at Chu Xuanzhou...

Not only did he not "make amends" to take the clothes from Chu Xuanzhou's hands at this time, he even gently pushed his hands back.

"Your Highness, as a human being, I'm really not used to this temperature, but as the "Regent", I can't even put on my coat at this time. "

"Why do you say that?"

Lu Yunwan laughed, and while recalling the past experience of the original owner, he said to Chu Xuanzhou: "Everyone in the interstellar world knows that humans cannot tolerate low temperatures, but mermaids can, and they even enjoy the cold. I just entered the upper layer of the empire When... that group of mermaids like to go to similar places for meetings or events."

The group of mermaids were using this method to silently repel him.

"Do you think they really like this?"

Chu Xuanzhou slowly shook his head.

Lu Yunwan smiled, and said indifferently: "Yes, they are just trying to stop me."

But Lu Yunwan endured it.

Relying on his amazing perseverance, he integrated into the group of mermaids.

This was Chu Xuanzhou's unexpected answer.

While the young man was thinking about the sentence just now, Lu Yunwan shook his head slowly, and then told him earnestly: "When the other party least asks you to do something, that's when you should do it the most. when."

It doesn't matter whether Chu Xuanzhou is pretending or not.

In the future, when he becomes the ruler of the empire, he needs to have the courage to stand up to all opinions. Lu Yunwan feels that it is very necessary to remind him at this time.

The boy nodded slowly.

Lu Yunwan's voice was slightly hoarse, but it was like a needle piercing Chu Xuanzhou's heart.
