"If His Highness has something to say, I am willing to be a listener."

Shen Qin replied politely, but his heart seemed to be bleeding.

"I haven't drunk the wine made by Mr. yet."

Li Yunxi's eyes fell on the wine bag on Shen Qin's waist.

Shen Qin threw the wine bag to him.

Li Yunxi raised his head and took a big sip and commented.

"Good wine, but the taste is too bland and it doesn't taste good."

"It's okay to warm yourself up."

Fortunately, the tangerine flower wine was not strong. Shen Qin was really afraid that Li Yunxi would become drunk again.

Li Yunxi took several more sips, then spit out a breath of alcohol.

"I heard that the ghost face in red was executed here."

Shen Qin nodded slightly. Of course he knew that this was the altar of the Zen ceremony and the burial place of Han Xiao.

"I have analyzed from various rumors that he is definitely not a ghost, just an assassin. The reason he can fall from the sky is because he has something that can cushion him."

Indeed, Han Xiao made something similar to a paraglider out of canvas and hid on the cliff. When the Dog Emperor arrived at the Temple of Earth, he flew down.

"There are still many mysteries in this, and I cannot figure it out. However, what is certain is that the black parts in this dragon pattern are similar to the strange talismans I saw in the Qingguo Duke's Mansion when I was a child. They should be some kind of talisman. A way to make people fall into hallucinations."

"Your Highness is wise."

There was a hint of helplessness in Shen Qin's tone. With Li Yunxi's intelligence, she really didn't know how long she could keep her identity a secret.

"Ever since the Taikang Mountain case, my father has been obsessed with cultivating immortals. There must be something fishy in this. I should have personally investigated it a long time ago. But I keep delaying it because I am afraid..."

Li Yunxi stopped talking, raised his neck and took a sip of bitter wine.

"Remember the liar imperial doctor I mentioned to my husband? After all these years, I would rather believe that he is still alive, perhaps already living in seclusion, getting married and having children. Even if we can never see him again, there is still hope."

"Then your Highness will continue to think so."

Shen Qin persuaded in a low voice.

"Haha, how can I deceive myself again?"

Li Yunxi leaned on the stone railing somewhat dejectedly, smiling wryly at himself.

"How can there be so many coincidences in the world? It happens that the figure of the red-clothed ghost-face is similar to his, it happens that he has a blood feud with his father, and it happens that these officers and soldiers, like me, are all under a similar spell? If you want to blame, it just happens. It’s my fault that I am too smart.”

Li Yunxi sneered twice.

"That's right, in the whole world, he is the only one who has the bravery of a divine general, dares to fight one against a thousand, has a world-shattering plan, and can destroy a mountain in an instant."

After that, he drank the remaining wine in the wine bag in a few gulps, threw it back to Shen Qin, and complained.

"That's it, it's really not enough!"

"Your Highness..."

Shen Qin clutched the empty wine bag, feeling heartbroken and not knowing what to comfort her.

What can he do?

Could it be that you rushed up to him and told him that you were Han Xiao and came to seek revenge on your father?

"Idiot, you don't cherish the life you finally saved, and you overestimate your ability to assassinate your father. I will never forgive him in this life!"

Perhaps because of the drunkenness, Li Yunxi became angry again for no reason, and with a wave of his hand, he overturned the stone statue next to him.

The bottom of the stone statue was hollow and severely weathered. When it fell to the ground, it fell apart.

A metal object also flew out and fell to the ground with a clang.

It was a mask covered in patina, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.

Shen Qin recognized it at a glance. This was the bronze mask he wore back then!

In order not to expose his identity and implicate others, he put the red-hot mask on his face, and he was called the "faceless ghost".

Now that someone is helping him deal with the aftermath, where are the pieces of Zhen living now?

Not only Shen Qin was surprised, but Li Yunxi was also stunned. He knelt down and picked up the old mask with trembling hands.

"Is this the legacy you left for me? How ugly!"

A crystal tear slipped from the corner of his eye, and he quickly wiped it away with his hand.

"If you die, you will lose everything. Don't expect me to still miss you."

After that, he threw the bronze mask to the ground casually, and then quickly wiped his eyes with his palms, blinking and trying to suppress tears.

Even when she was reunited with her biological mother, Shen Qin never saw Li Yunxi cry.

"Your Highness, please express your condolences."

Shen Qin knelt down half-kneeling, cupped his hands and said, his eyes lowered so low that he couldn't bear to see Li Yunxi's eyes full of despair.

He is so cruel. If one day they recognize each other and are severely beaten by Li Yunxi, he will admit it.

Li Yunxi finally picked up the bronze mask, carefully wiped off the dust on it, put it in his arms, and then walked to Shen Qin.

"Doctor Shen, the ground is cold, please get up."
