Gu Mu felt that although he could see through Shen Chao's micro-expressions,
However, a person's inner world often contains their experiences from the past ten years or so, and it is not so easy to see through it.
Just like now, although Shen Chao feels conflicted,
But Gu Mu couldn't see through the source of the conflict in the Shen Dynasty.
but……
At this moment, Gu Mu still spoke in a condescending tone: "You must trust me, because you have no choice."
He was the supreme ruler, possessing unparalleled power.
The honor and disgrace of the prime minister's family were bestowed upon him.
Then he can also deprive him of it.
There was a long silence in the dungeon.
Shen Chao seemed to be reasoning through various possibilities to determine whether Gu Mu's words were credible.
Finally, he slowly opened his mouth.
He confessed to his crimes.
The arsonist, the yellow robe he wore on the day of the arson, the human skin mask...
He told Gu Mu where to look for them one by one.
Those pieces of evidence are enough to prove that Shen Chao wanted to harm Gu Mu and plot a rebellion.
As for how many followers Shen Chaomi had, and how far he had progressed in his plot to rebel, he remained completely silent.
"Your Majesty, I have already told you the evidence of treason."
"If you want to use these to sentence me to death, that's enough."
"I only hope that you will keep your promise, and after you have judged me guilty of treason, you will gain the gratitude of my family and give them important positions. After all, they were unaware of everything I did."
“Otherwise…” Shen Chao revealed a terrifying smile: “I will haunt you even as a ghost.”
"As for your intention to use torture because I won't tell you everything, go ahead and do it. I'm not afraid of any of that."
After saying this, Shen Chao closed his eyes.
He looked like he was ready to die.
Let the parchment scroll handle the tormenting matters for Shen Chao.
After all, Shen Chao and the parchment had reached a deal, and even if Shen Chao died, the deal would continue until it was completed.
Therefore, in order to stir up trouble, after the parchment scroll had finished torturing Shen Chao, they would randomly find a heinous person and make Shen Chao sacrifice himself to the parchment scroll to complete the transaction.
...
A few days later,
it's all over.
A corpse lay silently in the dungeon.
Then the parchment scroll somehow found fire and burned Shen Chao to ashes.
Now, Shen Chao should be completely dead.
The parchment scroll took one last look at the ashes, then wrapped itself up with its body.
Take it out of the dungeon and let it drift away with the wind to various places.
This time, it was not only completely dead, but also torn to pieces and could not be pieced back together.
At this moment, the parchment finally breathed a sigh of relief; its master could rest assured that it had done its job well…
...
Shen Chao's soul stood quietly to the side, watching the parchment scroll complete all of this.
Behind him stood a phantom figure.
The figure was indistinct; its features, clothing, and even its shape were all blurry.
The illusory figure stood quietly behind Shen Chao, seemingly waiting for him to calm down.
Just moments before Shen Chao died,
Shen Chao thought of many things.
He was a genius from a young age, possessing the intelligence of an adult in their twenties when he was only a few years old.
Therefore, they matured very early.
He remembered that when he was five years old,
Once, while passing by the garden,
Seeing three-year-old Shen Ling sitting blankly in the middle of the flowers.
He never knew that someone could be so beautiful.
Large, expressive eyes, as if blessed by the gods; exquisitely sculpted features.
Porcelain-white skin
She's practically an elf who accidentally descended to earth—no, she might very well be an elf.
Because Shen Chao had never seen her in the mansion, and the Prime Minister's mansion was heavily guarded, not a place a three-year-old child could just barge in.
But this child appeared out of nowhere in the Prime Minister's residence.
Whether she is an elf or not, she is definitely not a mortal.
Since no guests came to the Prime Minister's residence that day, there was no possibility that any young lady would run away while playing. Even if she did run away, she would definitely be accompanied by a maid who would stay by her side at all times, after all, she was such a young child.
As for the possibility that it was secretly brought in by a maid in the mansion, that's even more impossible.
The mansion is heavily guarded; if such a thing were discovered, the perpetrators would simply be beaten to death. There's no need to do that.
More importantly...
It was Shen Chao who saw the child, who at first sat blankly in the garden looking at the flowers.
Then he began muttering to himself, "To...destroy..."
"destroy……"
Then, right next to the flowerbed where Shen Ling was,
In an instant, all the flowers withered.
Then, at that moment, the three-year-old child finally smiled: "Destruction... is the ultimate and eternal destiny..."
"I want to marry... Gu Mu..."
"Then destruction...it's destiny..."
"Only destruction... can bring eternity..."
She muttered to herself, like a child reciting a textbook, repeating it over and over to avoid forgetting.
This is something that humans could never do.
Besides Shen Chao, the prime minister and his wife, who were not far away, also witnessed all of this.
Shen Ling was adopted without any trouble. Then, the prime minister used some tricks to deceive everyone and Shen Ling became the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion. However, when the prime minister's wife went out to visit relatives, she was born outside and lost. She was recently found.
At the beginning,
The spirit will also do many strange things.
For example, one can go without food or water for dozens of days in a row, yet still remain energetic and vigorous.
Sometimes, I'll secretly dig a hole and stare blankly at the ground.
In short, he is not a normal child.
However, because she was so beautiful, the prime minister and his wife collectively ignored some of her strange behaviors, taking them as divine power and believing her to be a fairy.
