Pingyang and I have this idea, but we cannot tell the "living" people because of the rules, also there is also an inner feeling of quietly spectating and watching the show, so we all continued to remain silent.
After Pingyang's 'execution', we all dispersed to go to bed. I asked Wu Min Jun: "Did you see the murderer, who is it?"
Wu Min Jun said: "Don't you have the answer?."
I said: "Is it really Situ Youqing and Baozi? wow, so powerful..."
Wu Min Jun:"...Oh."
I looked at him with suspicion and said: "Oh what?...actually...I have some suspicions I have not mentioned."
Wu Min Jun raised an eyebrow: "What? Say it."
I looked at Wu Min Jun skeptically and said: "Actually I've been thinking that maybe...first, you killed yourself, then will kill everyone else...this way you win, isn't it?
Wu Min Jun showed a helpless expression and said: "Situ Youqing had clearly said that the murderer must be alive at the end to win."
"Oh, there is such a rule..." I continued, "nevermind then..."
Wu Min Jun smiled and said: "Although, it could also be as you say. After all, this sort of chaos is also very interesting."
I: "..."
He is anxious to stir up trouble in any case...
The two of us returned to our palace, and went to sleep. I have a strong feeling the murderer will have his next kill tonight, following his quick action so far. Tomorrow morning we will definitely wake up to see another dead person, I wonder who that person will be...
I could not guess who will die tomorrow and so the next day I impatiently hurried to the hall, only to discover that they were all well, unexpectedly no one was killed.
Everyone else was also obviously very surprised, and could not understand why the murderer suddenly stayed his hand, no one has died so they cannot vote so everyone kept their thoughts to themselves as we ate breakfast. After breakfast, Wu Min Jun left to go deal with his matter, I along with Situ Youqing and Baozi went to see Xiao Sui with Pingyang.
The others went about their own business, for example, Wu Hao went to handle his clothing business, this time he came Xiyuan, he wants to take the opportunity to expand his business, and so must, therefore, go settle the official in charge in the Xiyuan capital.
To express one is going to bribe an official in front of the emperor and empress, Wu Hao did not seem to have a brain, but these small bribes Wu Min Jun usually turns a blind eye, but if only it's money and flattery, if they do cheat or oppress the people and do not handle their duties, then Wu Min Jun will not be lenient...
Simply put, everyone wants to get money, but cannot take demand money from the common people, Wu Min Jun has a calculator in his head that calculates people's actions, if they cross the line they will die.
Feng You You seeing Wu Hao leave, also said that she wants to take a look at Xiao Sui, she had not gone yesterday and Wu Hao probably embarrassingly told her about the matter of being puked on, so she came with us. Therefore, after Feng You You, like Wu Hao was attracted by Xiao Sui smiling face gently held him and he accidentally puked on her face...
Feng You You shrieked, grabbed a cloth from the side and looked aggrieved at Pingyang, who couldn't stop laughing along with Situ Youqing and Baozi, Pingyang said: "Ah did not remember..."
Pingyang continued: "Sorry, was too slow hahaha..."
Feng You You said: "No wonder yesterday when my husband came back, he smelled of milk..."
"..."
Pingyang: "hahahaha ..."
Baozi was also laughing and his body was vibrating and the hair on his body was following suit. Xiao Sui noticing him stopped smiling and was staring at Baozi, Baozi made two "Chi~" sounds and went to Xiao Sui's side
Xiao Sui eyes widened as he looked at Baozi beside him, Baozi: "Chi~, Chi~"
Xiao Sui eyes opened even wider as if he is seen something he has never encountered...right, he indeed has not seen this before...Xiao Sui then imitated Baozi and surprisingly said: "Chi~...Chi~?"
Baozi seeing Xiao Sui replying 'hi' in his language, got excited and replied: "Chi!"
Xiao Sui actually lost interest, looked at him with a side eye and then turned his back to him, showing him Baozi the back of his head heartlessly.
**(LoL wonder what Baozi told Xiao Sui that upset him, babies sure are fickle..)**
Baozi: "..."
Baozi turned around sadly and jumped on Situ Youqing's shoulder, and sadly, "chi~"
Situ rubbed him and said: "Don't be sad, be good."
"..."
Xiao Sui's seems to be the fickle sort and enjoys messing with people, it seems he is really like Wu Min Jun...
I'm getting more worried about my future child with Wu Min Jun...what would it be like?
Thinking of this...I looked at Situ Youqing: Situ, actually when can you find your master...I want to have a baby with Wu Min Jun."
Situ Youqing: "..."
"To have a baby? What does that...have to do with my master?" Situ Youqing asked somewhat embarrassed.
"..."
"It has a lot do with it, okay...previously, when I watched Pingyang give birth, I thought it was too painful and so I hoped that Wu Min Jun replace me and do it, and Wu Min Jun also tactfully agreed"
On the side, Pingyang was playing with Xiao Sui, hearing my words spoke up: "What, you want to make my royal brother give birth?"
I nodded: "You also know, last time weren't we..."
Exchanged ...
My words were not finished before Pingyang interrupted: "Even though royal brother can get pregnant, where will he give birth from?"
I: "..."
Situ Youqing: "..."
Baozi: "..."
Only Xiao Sui had a puzzled look...he was probably thinking it was strange, wondering how his mother could stun people into silence...
After a long silence, I explained: "Your royal brother can certainly not get pregnant, nor...can he birth a child. It's just that our bodies can be exchanged so he can bear all the pain..."
Pingyang was obviously shocked and said: "That's also possible!"
Then she made an aggrieved face: "Why didn't royal sister-in-law mention this earlier?! That, I will give it to Lu Lu! He will have eight children!"
"...that wouldn't be too good, right?" I had cold sweat, "If you want him to give birth, you can talk to Lu Lu about it...although, presently cannot exchange..."
I continued: "Moreover after taking the medicine, it only lasts for twelve hours, only for that period...the rest you will have to bear."
Pingyang looked shocked, said: "That I must bear with own body ..."
I nodded: "Yes ...."
Pingyang deflated completely: "Well, forget it, forget it...so upsetting."
Suddenly Situ Youqing perked up: "I'll remember to let you know if there is some other drug..."
"...Oh."
While I was discussing with Pingyang on the issue of being pregnant and giving birth, expressing joy and anticipation over our husbands giving birth, nearby Feng You You was quietly listening to the entire exchange, finally slowly said: "Um...remember to include this one...thank you..."
Me and Pingyang: "..."
Later we returned to the meeting hall to eat, as we came in Feng You You almost fell upon seeing Wu Hao who sitting in his chair dispiritedly, on his neck was an impressive ink mark!
Feng You You gawked at him and then rushed to him: "Husband! how..."
Wu Hao sighed and shook his head, following the rules he did not give anything.
I looked at my side and saw that Situ Youqing also had a very surprised expression, I suddenly remembered that Baozi left for some time, at that time I didn't think anything of it, but now that we're here, it is very likely that he left to go "murder" Wu Hao...
At this time, Situ opened her mouth and clearly said: "Alright someone has died again, let's discuss, who do you think it is?"
Liu Liang spoke up first: "This time it is obviously not his wife, she was with the empress and Princess Pingyang, and would not have had the opportunity to kill him."
Situ Youqing nodded and said: "Right, moreover it seems this murderer is very hateful, going after couples every time - killing the husband, so everybody will naturally think that it is the wife who did it, this way he can solve two people at once."
She looked around and continued: "It seems that the murderer may be dissatisfied with the married couples..."
Liu Liang smiled and said: "That, it seems like it should be Miss Liu, who has always liked the Xi emperor but has been rejected..."
As soon as Liu Ya heard this, she was gawked and protested: "No, It's not!"
Then she glared at Liu Liang and said: "I have long gotten over Xi emperor! The Xi emperor and empress have my heartfelt blessings!"
Liu Ling did not pay her any attention and said: "I vote for Liu Ya."
Situ Youqing nodded: "Me too"
Baozi naturally followed Situ Youqing and pointed to Liu Ya.
Liu Ya also got three votes in an instant, and she was so angry she wanted to cry. She pointed to Liu Liang and said: "You are so despicable, making false accusations...It must be you!"
There were only two votes left, Feng You You and Yan Yu. Feng You You bit her lip then said: "Miss Liu's feelings, I have also experienced before, but in any case, if you can't get it, she wouldn't want to destroy them..."
...then she looked at Liu Liang and said: "...it should be you."
Liu Liang gawked, now he has two votes, Liu Ya has three votes. The most crucial vote now is Yan Yu, Liu Ya looked at Yan Yu, Yan Yu said: "Miss Liu does not look like a wicked person...I vote for Liu Liang."
Liu Liang: "..."
Liu Liang and Liu Ya now have three votes each, and so they couldn't execute anyone. They could only disperse, for now, then wait for someone else to die and then come back and vote.
Yan Yu: "Oh, it's nothing."
Liu Ya: "General Yan, you should know how to strategize, you can definitely see the little tricks in this game You already know, right? Is it Liu Liang?"
Yan Yu thought and then said: "It shouldn't be."
Liu Ya was even more moved and said: "You, in order to save me, did not vote for the real murderer, but voted for Liu Liang..."
Yan Yu somewhat embarrassed said: "I don't know who it is...just said it casually..."
Liu Ya: "... "
I was secretly eavesdropping on them, hearing them talking, I smiled. Wu Min Jun at my side also smiled and quietly whispered to me: "Those drugs can come in handy..."
I: "..." -_-)'
"Not allowed, let nature take its course and let them develop naturally ..."
Wu Min Jun shot me a look: "Okay, will do as you say."
***
Liu Ya "died" that evening. When we came for dinner, we saw an ink mark on her forehead, which was particularly eye-catching. It seems the murderer could not wait for her to be executed...
Liu Ya's head was bowed and she was silent, looking very frustrated. Yan Yu came in and walked up to her: "Hey, how..."
Liu Ya looked up at him pitifully.
Yan Yu sighed and said: "Oh, you actually have an ink mark on your head..."
Liu Ya: "..."
...Yan Yu is too dense, how can he just point it out like that?
Now only Feng You You, Situ Youqing, Liu Liang, Yan Yu, plus Baozi are left and still have to vote for someone to be executed. Now that everyone is dying one after another, it is a bit scary, the murderer's plan is so deep...
Situ Youqing as always spoke up first: "Who do you think the murderer is?"
Liu Liang said: "I think the murderer is not a person."
Situ Youqing thought it strange and asked: "How is it possible there's only one murderer ah..."
Liu Liang laughed and said: "What I mean is, the murderer - is not human."
He pointed at Baozi on Situ Youqing's shoulder: "This little thing must also be taken into account. It looks astute, can understand our speech and can express emotions like human beings. If it is the murderer, is it not convenient for it to kill people? It can just apply some ink on its paws and can easily kill people."
Situ Youqing sighed and asked: "Baozi?"
She held Baozi and asked: "Baozi, is it you?"
Baozi vehemently shook his head innocently, and then lay flat on the floor, with his paws and feet in the air, revealing his tender underbelly, to show that he did not dip his paws or feet in ink.
Liu Liang smiled and said: "It is quite cute...However, I choose it."
Feng You You and Yan Yu also chose Baozi, Situ bit her lip and said: "Will have to punish guilty family members, Baozi, you die."
Baozi sadly: "...chi~...chi~..."
Poor little Baozi was executed and took his draw stick out of the little purse that he carries with him and reveals it to be, "to be killed"
...Unexpectedly, Baozi was also falsely executed...
Situ Youqing lamented: "Baozi, I wish you wuwuwu..."
Baozi: "Chi~..."
Situ spoke up suddenly and looked at Liu Liang: "If you are not dead the next time, I will definitely choose you!"
Liu Liang not wanting to be outdone, piped: "Ha-ha, you are also very suspicious. You could be the murderer, and you instructed Baozi to do it, right?"
Situ Youqing: "At that time, everyone will naturally see."
After that, she then held Baozi who was pouting and left.
***
Situ Youqing is really a prophet, because the next morning, we saw an ink mark on Liu Liang's neck.
Liu Liang looked at Situ Youqing suspiciously.
Everyone else also silently watched Situ Youqing.
Situ Youqing: "..."
"It's not me...How can I be so stupid! If it was me, of course, I will go kill someone else and then blame Liu Liang. This way I can take out two." Situ Youqing explained, "You can definitely all see this!
Everyone couldn't refute it, so they were all silent. Feng You You spoke up first, although she did not seem very confident about it, and awkwardly stated: "Oh, because everyone will think you are the murderer, you wouldn't kill him, but then couldn't you also do the opposite and deliberately kill Liu Liang?"
Situ Youqing: "I, I will not take this risk."
Feng You You sighed: "There are not many people left, I will vote for you."
Yan Yu: "Me too."
Situ Youqing was "killed", she sighed, took out her own draw stick, and revealed it, it was still "to be killed."
Everyone was stunned.
Feng You You and Yan Yu looked at each other with uncertainty.
The murderer is actually between Feng You You and Yan Yu...so deep in hiding.
Situ Youqing sighed: "The game is over. The murderer only has one person left, then if he kills the other person, he will be the only one alive. Hehe...who is the murderer? Stand up, you win!"
Feng You You and Yuan Yu said at the same time: "I am not a murderer!"
After a pause, Feng You and Yan Yu pointed at each other: "This person is the murderer!"
The two then did not say anything, and at the same time brought out their draw sticks from their robes and revealed, "to be killed."
Everyone was stunned by this - is there something wrong, was there no murderer draw stick? But then how can be people have been dying?
Situ Youqing: "I know...if the murderer killed himself first...?"
When the words came out, everyone immediately shot a look at Wu Min Jun.
Wu Min Jun smiled and revealed his own draw stick, showing the word "murderer" in all its inky glory...
I was blown away: "It turned out to be you!!!"
The others also showed shocked expressions, they had guessed for so long, and could not think that the murderer was the first "dead" person.
...Wu Hao, Lu LU, Liu Ya, and Liu Liang - the lucky ones who had seen the murderer's true face showed helpless expressions.
Wu Min Jun with an innocent expression: "What's wrong?"
Situ Youqing: "You, how can you do this?...You killed yourself, then you are a dead person..."
Wu Min Jun smiled and said: "But you only said the dead can't talk, you didn't say the dead can't kill."
Situ Youqing: "..."
I: "..."
I paused, I said: "Do you want to talk about the process? All of it!"
Wu Min Jun thought for a moment and said: "On the first night, I pretended I had a meeting then committed suicide, so you could follow me the next day."
I: "..."
"After Lu Lu went on duty, I asked him to come to see me and killed him, then Pingyang was executed because of it."
Pingyang aggrieved: "..."
"After that, when Wu Hao went to see the official, I took the opportunity to kill him."
"As for Liu Ya and Liu Liang, I conveniently saw them walking around in the palace and so I killed them."
After Wu Min Jun finished his explanation, we were miserable, and the four people who were killed, especially Liu Ya and Liu Liang - who were just unlucky and were killed at random...were even more miserable...
"But, but this is not right..." Situ looked confused, "the murderer must be alive in the end in order to be the winner...You like this, you lost from the beginning."
Wu Min Jun smiled at us and said: "Did I say I wanted to win?"
Everyone: "... " -_-)'
...
****
MiraiSaesang's notes: LOL this dude, he just wanted them all to lose...technically a perfect plan as long as you are not aiming to win...Yun Jiao did catch on, a little too late though, but even she, could not have imagined that he was not thinking of winning...It takes a special kind of person to think like this LOL but he definitely made it more fun...
Also, I'm sure some of you have picked up on the fact that He Chen was never mentioned in the game but he was included on the list of players at the start. I, of course, just discovered this after getting to the end that he was not actually a player, I just assumed he was just quietly in the background voting...I guess the author meant to include him initially but then forgot about him ...
