Chu Shaoyao loosened the hilt of the knife and casually lifted up the blood-stained hem of his clothes. He supported himself with one foot and stepped on the dragon throne with the other. His expression was cold and his eyes were looking down disdainfully at the officials kneeling on the steps.
He did not feel the joy of revenge as he had imagined, but only felt emptiness and boredom in all these scenes and images.
A stubborn and fiery official stood up from the audience and glared at him, "The eldest prince is immoral and committed patricide! Your Majesty only placed you under house arrest, and you..."
Chu Shaoyao pulled out the long knife that was stuck in the man's body with an expressionless face. The long knife was stained with blood.
Drops of blood fell along the direction of the blade, one by one rolling onto the white jade ground, splashing out strange scarlet and bright fireworks.
He swung the long knife lightly, and the blood remaining on the blade splashed out.
The minister, who was reprimanding righteously, felt his face getting hot. He raised his hand to touch it and saw that his fingers were covered with blood that was still warm.
The minister's scalp felt numb and his legs felt weak. He fell heavily to his knees, which made a loud thud as they hit the ground.
There was no more noisy voice in the hall. Chu Shaoyao put the long sword back to its original place. The sound of the blade piercing flesh was so clear that it seemed to be playing in his ears.
Wen Liyu, who was hiding behind the screen, saw everything and couldn't help but shiver nervously and swallowed her saliva.
She slowly retracted her peeking head, but she didn't expect that such a small action would attract the attention of the people on the stage.
Chu Shaoyao raised his eyes, and his dark and gloomy gaze pierced her directly.
Wen Liyu felt that his gaze was like a sharp fish-killing knife, and that she would be gutted and made into a delicious grilled fish in the next second.
She was so scared that her eyes turned red, and a thin layer of mist filled her clear eyes.
When Chu Shaoyao saw her eyes, his thoughts, which were controlled by hatred, immediately cleared up.
-
Wen Liyu was so frightened that her whole body went limp, and like everyone who suddenly wakes up from a nightmare, her body and tail swung around unconsciously.
With a "splash" sound, water splashed.
Her little heart kept beating violently, as if it would jump out of her throat at any second.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the water surface, and a broad hand reached into the bucket and gently lifted her from the bottom of the bucket.
Before Wen Liyu recovered from the horrific dream, she saw the fish-killing demon in her dream again. The fish was so frightened that its body stiffened and turned into a hard salted fish.
"It's you." Chu Shaoyao sensed her nervousness and fear, his eyes slightly lowered, staring at her with an unreadable expression, "How did you get into my dream?"
"I...I don't know." Wen Liyu was a little confused. When she heard his question, she answered subconsciously.
After answering, he remembered that he couldn't understand fish language.
"Look at your silly look, don't you know anything about it?" Chu Shaoyao somehow understood what she meant and asked, "If I'm right, just wag your tail."
Wen Liyu subconsciously followed his instructions and flicked her tail.
"Forget it, go back to sleep." Chu Shaoyao stared at her for a while and wanted to warn her not to talk nonsense outside, but then he thought, she is a carp spirit and he will not let her out of his sight, so he just ignored it.
After Chu Shaoyao left, Wen Liyu gradually came back to her senses. She moved her body and secretly peeked at him as he pushed the door open and went out.
"System, system! Did you do anything to make me enter Chu Shaoyao's dream?" Wen Liyu asked angrily in her mind.
"Dream Entering is a passive skill acquired by the host," the system explained slowly. "The activation of this skill is not controlled by the host, but is based on the capture target's wishes."
Wen Liyu beeped loudly, "It's activated just after I got it!"
"This means that the hero really needs your help. Please cheer up, host!" The system could not sense her fear and anger, and it added fuel to the fire.
Wen Liyu complained to the system for more than ten minutes, focusing on describing how terrifying and frightening Chu Shaoyao's eyes were in her dream just now.
It was already daybreak, and the soft sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the entire room. The water was bathed in sunlight, shimmering in the ripples.
The system made a beep, notifying the host that today's daily tasks had been refreshed.
"The daily tasks are all similar." Wen Liyu glanced at the task bar. They were all very simple housework, such as watering the vegetable garden.
She had done the watering task yesterday. She just poured a bucket of water into the vegetable garden. There was no requirement for her to water the garden particularly carefully.
Of course such a simple task must be done. It would be a waste not to take advantage of the system!
"Ding! Main quest detected: Help the hero avoid the villain's trap. Reward points: 500, scale replacement times +1."
Wen Liyu stopped swimming and asked hurriedly, "How did you frame me? Do you have any clues?"
This mission actually has 500 points!! It must be a very important mission!
System: "Host, please complete the task independently."
"Tsk." Wen Liyu curled her lips, closed her eyes and began to recall the original plot.
She thought for a long time before she dug out a clue from the corner of the plot.
Chu Shaoyao is exactly 16 years old this year and is about to experience the biggest turning point in the plot. He is framed by his second brother Chu Shaohua and demoted by the emperor to be a guard at the imperial mausoleum.
The villain's method of framing was extremely simple and crude. He directly killed a concubine who was opposed to his mother, and took advantage of Chu Shaoyao's illness and coma to throw the murder weapon and corpse into this yard, and then brought the emperor to catch the person red-handed.
The emperor had never remembered this eldest prince whom he had favored in the past. When he saw that he had killed his most recently favored concubine, he did not even investigate and directly sent someone to send him away.
When Chu Shaoyao woke up from his coma, he found himself in a dilapidated carriage, being rushed to the imperial mausoleum.
It was originally just a minor illness of fever and cold, but it had not been treated and had become more serious due to exposure to the open air. The poison that caused him to become mute as a child returned, turning him into a sickly person who had to take medicine every day.
If he didn't take the medicine, he would feel like his body was crawling with bugs, and the pain would make him vomit blood. The biting, pain, itching and numbness made him more and more paranoid and violent.
After Wen Liyu finished her recollections, she came out of the system space and found herself lying in Chu Shaoyao's palm again.
After she entered the system space, her body was no longer under her control and looked like a stiff fish corpse.
"You're back!" Wen Liyu shook her tail and stood upright from lying on her side.
Chu Shaoyao frowned, "What happened to you just now? Are you sick?"
Wen Liyu glanced at the transformation time. There were only 3 hours left, and she couldn't waste it, so she didn't transform into a human form. She just shook her head vigorously.
"It's good that nothing happened." Chu Shaoyao thought to himself, the carp spirit was probably in a state of meditation and cultivation just now?
After all, she is a little carp that cannot always take human form.
