Mask of Rebirth

"My lord, my lord!" Jin Yun turned pale with shock, and hurriedly shouted to the maidservant behind him, "Don't pass on to the imperial physician!"

Qingyang Hall was in chaos for a while, Su Li was so anxious that he fell into a coma, but the maidservants were terrified, and Jin Yun was even more flustered.The imperial decree has been issued, if the young master does not wake up before noon tomorrow, then the slaves in the temple will suffer accordingly.

After administering the acupuncture, the imperial doctor shook his head helplessly and left with the medicine box, leaving only one sentence: "Heart disease, whether he can wake up or not depends entirely on himself."

Jin Yun stayed by the bed every step of the way, and it was five or six hours in a blink of an eye.

She did her best not because of her loyalty, except for a little bit of pity for him, but more for her own life.She has been in the palace for more than three years, and she has climbed to this position after suffering all kinds of cold and heat. Of course, it is also because she is smart and clever in serving any master without making any mistakes, and she has never offended anyone.If something goes wrong at this juncture, wouldn't the previous efforts be in vain.

A maid of honor has been out of the palace for 20 years, and an aunt like her can go out of the palace to reunite with her parents only after ten years.She had been looking forward to that day.

Su Li finally woke up.

But when this person woke up, it was as if he was dead. He just stared blankly at a point in the air, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and he had already lost most of his three souls and seven souls.

"My lord, you finally woke up, you scared the slaves to death."

"All go out."

"Son!"

"go!"

Jin Yun didn't dare to say any more, sighed secretly and quietly exited the door with the maid behind her.

The sky that night was very cloudy and cloudy, and the sky was filled with dark clouds that refused to rain.The strong wind blows the fallen leaves flying around, which makes Jin Yun feel even more restless, and stays outside the door for a moment, pulling the brocade handkerchief in his hand in a hurry.Although she has only served this master for more than a year, she is very clear about Su Li's character. Su Li will never accept such a thing of being treated as a plaything. He would rather die!

Jin Yun really wanted to go in and persuade him a few words, life is not easy, why be so overwhelmed, it is better to die than to live.

But she also knew that Su Li couldn't listen to anything at this time, the only thing she could do was to wait here, listen to the sound inside, and pray that Su Li would not do anything stupid.Even if it's not for yourself, for the lives of these servants who have served him for a long time, don't do anything against the imperial decree.

"Jin Yun!"

Suddenly hearing Su Li call her Jin Yun, her heart was relieved a lot, and she hurriedly responded and opened the door and entered the room.Su Li had already got up at this time and was sitting quietly by the bed, his face ashen and lifeless.

"What are your orders, son?"

"Bring a brazier in!"

"...Yes!" Jin Yun didn't know, so he hurried out and brought in a brazier that he usually used to warm his hands.

Su Li stared at the sparks floating up and down for a while, before taking out the brocade scroll in the box, untying the red string and opening it layer by layer.

It was only then that Jin Yun saw that the inside and outside of the brocade scrolls were all high-quality silk silk brocade fabrics, each of which was thin into the wings of a cicada, and there were more than a dozen of them written neatly and neatly in thin characters. .Jin Yun could only vaguely see a few words at the head, weapons, gunpowder, epidemics, farming, etc., plus the outermost layer of the art of war.

The content is so extensive that it seems that there is no connection, but it seems to include the root of everything in the world. It really makes people wonder what is the mystery of the brocade scroll.

Su Li took a cursory glance and threw it into the brazier. In an instant, flames burst out, and within a moment, months of painstaking efforts were burned.He did this series of actions without any hesitation, Jin Yun had no time to stop him, and only had time to call out, "Master!"

"...do you know what's in there?"

Jin Yun was taken aback, then quickly shook his head, "I don't know."

Su Li Tujue smiled, looking at the blazing flames, his eyes were full of desolation, "This is Jiangshan!"

Jin Yun became even more confused, "My lord, slaves don't understand!"

"Sooner or later, you will understand!" Su Li's voice was very steady, and his expression was surprisingly calm. In addition to his rambling words just now, Jin Yun couldn't help but suspect that the young master was over-stimulated and lost his mind. , was thinking about whether to ask the imperial physician again, when Su Li asked, "When will we leave?"

Jin Yun didn't expect Su Li to accept such a shame and humiliation, and replied in a low voice: "Tomorrow, at noon tomorrow!"

Su Li nodded, feeling a pain in his chest and a fit of coughing and wheezing.He took Jin Yun's handkerchief and put it over his mouth, and took it away to see the black and red blood.

"My lord, let the imperial physician come and take a look. It will take at least ten days for the journey to start tomorrow. At that time, there will be a lack of medical care and medicine. How can you survive with this body?"

Su Li shook his head, handed the handkerchief to Jin Yun, and ordered, "Burn it!"

Burned, burned everything, Su Li wanted to throw himself into that brazier and burn it to ashes, once and for all!

The heavy rain poured down, as if the whole sky was about to fall, and lightning and thunder slid across the night sky from time to time, illuminating the deserted Qingyang Temple, and then it was dark again in a short while.

Su Li didn't feel sleepy at all, and stayed in the terrible darkness until dawn.This is how he spent his last night in Lu country.

Fifth watch, the emperor's morning court!

At this time, it was just four o'clock.

Outside the Chongming Hall, Su Li was kneeling on the ground straight in thin clothes.The pouring rain had already drenched the whole body thoroughly, dripping down the ends of her hair, her cheeks, and the corners of her clothes.

In contrast, Eunuch Li was in good condition, standing firmly under the edge of the door, with the little eunuch behind him holding an oil umbrella, except for some steam on the hem of his clothes, the rest of the place was not drenched at all.

Seeking to see the emperor at this time, Eunuch Li would naturally not go to inform him, as he would not be able to cut off a few heads if he disturbed the emperor's Qingmeng.As a result, the young master who had long since fallen out of favor just kept kneeling like this, with his eyes lowered and his head lowered, neither making noise nor making noise, kneeling for more than half an hour.

Eunuch Li thought of this season last year, it seemed that there was such a heavy rain and such a strong wind one day, Mr. Su came to Chongming Hall with an umbrella, half of his body was covered with rain.Even if the emperor got angry, he not only scolded Su Li, but also tortured everyone from top to bottom in the Tai Hospital to death.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Li couldn't help sighing, how pitiful it is for a new generation to replace the old one!

No matter what, Mr. Su treated him well in the past. This kind of kindness was not only rewarded with a lot of gold and silver, but also respected.Thinking of which master in this palace has seen them eunuchs as human beings, there is only Mr. Su.He was leaving today, and helping him to pass on the last word was worthy of his own conscience.

He checked the time, the emperor should get up by this time, so he turned and entered the gate.A large group of court ladies were busy coming in and out with their washing things. Eunuch Li looked in and saw that the emperor had already changed his clothes, so he boldly knelt on the ground and announced, "Your Majesty, Mr. Su begs to see you."

Lu Yang seemed to have forgotten the imperial decree he just issued yesterday, and instead asked, "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Li was at a loss for words, hesitated for a moment before saying, "The emperor issued an imperial edict yesterday..."

Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Li saw the emperor's brow tightening, and immediately stopped talking.In the Chongming Hall, the sound of needle dropping could be heard for a while, and no one knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment.

The person on the bed had already woken up, and seeing the strange expression on the emperor's face, he felt nervous, for fear that he might go back on his word and withdraw the imperial edict temporarily.He opened his mouth in a very appropriate manner, and brought back the emperor's mind with a soft and charming voice, "Your Majesty~"

"It's okay, you can go to sleep."

The emperor didn't look back at him, but the voice was gentle and reassuring. After a while, Lu Yang turned his head and said two words to Eunuch Li, "No see!" The voice was deep and deep.

Eunuch Li shook his head secretly, and quietly exited the door.

"Master Su, this old slave has done his best, I think you should go back."

Su Li didn't make a sound, still kneeling upright.Drive him away, you won't listen to him, you won't be able to persuade him, let alone force him, he is the person on the gift list, and he must not be hurt in the slightest before he leaves the gate of the capital city.

Eunuch Li had no choice but to let him go in the end.

After five o'clock, the gate of the palace opened slowly, and Lu Yang, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat firmly on the Luanjia. He looked quite good, but when he saw the person kneeling at the door, he immediately became angry. meaning.

"How decent is it to kneel here!"

What a majestic voice!Su Li slowly raised his head to look up, the face in front of him was still as handsome and handsome as in memory, with a dignified appearance.

For more than a year, every bit of him has already been imprinted in my mind and heart unconsciously.The knife marks on his back, the callus on his right hand, and even the cinnabar mole on his chest.Not only that, but he also knows the meaning of every movement and even every look in his eyes.

Just like this time, this look is enough to prove that he has become angry.

The so-called things are no more than three, enough is enough, everything is enough!Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he could give up. Su Li tried his best to stabilize his trembling voice, and said, "Su Li, come and bid farewell to the emperor!"

Everyone was startled, especially Lu Yang, who originally thought that Su Li's move was to plead for mercy, so he couldn't be surprised to hear such a sentence.He even thought it was because of the heavy rain and misheard.

"What did you say?"

Su Li propped his hands on the ground, digging hard at the dirt in front of the court, his fingernails were already oozing blood due to too much force, "Su Li has been in the palace for several years, and he has always been favored by the emperor, and he has nothing to repay. Don't be afraid that we will never see each other again, the emperor is here to be worshiped by the villain!" As soon as the words fell, he slammed his head hard! "May my emperor have great blessings in the sky, and a long life without bounds!"

If one ignores the trembling that cannot be concealed in the voice, this sentence is really loud, even if hundreds of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty add up, it is not as deafening as this one.The emperor was startled, but he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth!

He saw Su Li standing up with difficulty, probably because he had been kneeling for a long time, his legs were weak and his body was a little unstable.Her hair was shattered by the rain, there were mud stains on her forehead, and her clothes were so wet and dirty that she was in a terrible state of embarrassment.But it was such a person, at this moment he raised the corners of his mouth and showed a faint smile, just like when he first met in the bamboo forest that day, that smile was so relieved, so free and easy, as light as a breeze.

Suddenly recalling the days when we lived together in the past, it was as if it just happened yesterday, and no one but Su Li could give that heart-warming feeling.

But Lu Yang also had to face reality, this person can't stay!Although it has not been confirmed that he is really a spy, it is true that Su Li is a prostitute offered by Meng Guo, and it is not impossible for Meng Guo to arrange such a person to be a spy by his side.In addition, on the night of the birthday banquet, someone secretly reported that Su Li had secretly had contact with the envoy of the Meng Kingdom, so he was absent from the dinner.

As an emperor, how can you allow uncertain factors to stay by your side.Since he couldn't bear to kill him, he simply sent him away and never saw him again!

"..." The moment he turned around, Su Li seemed to say something again, the emperor could clearly see his lips moving, but couldn't hear a single word.

Su Li left. Although he was in a state of distress, his back was so chic. The heavy rain splashed a circle of misty water vapor on his body, like a phantom in a mirage. A beauty that is about to disappear.
