Mask of Rebirth

"Did you do what you were told?"

They are obviously brothers, but why their personalities are so different.The prince is generous and gentle, but His Highness is so vicious and cunning that even being stared at by him feels chilly all over.Xiao Nian didn't dare to look up at him, and nodded tremblingly.

"Hmph!" Qin Long snorted coldly, with a stern look in his eyes, "You dare to lie to my Highness, are you tired of working?"

Xiao Nian was startled, her face turned pale with fright, "Xiao Nian dare not lie to His Highness, the medicine has really been taken, and it won't drop once."

"Then why haven't we seen his poisonous hair yet?"

"This, this, I don't know, maybe, maybe it's a chronic drug so, so..."

"It only takes three days for the medicine to take effect. How can you not see any reaction after four days? Could it be that you were timid and secretly threw it away?"

"Xiao Nian didn't dare, everything was done according to His Highness's orders, Xiao Nian really didn't lie."

Qin Long stretched out his hand to lift his chin, seeing his pale face, water in his eyes, trembling from fright, he knew he was telling the truth.That's right, even with him, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to lie to His Highness.One finger can kill him! "Remember, this was the choice you made yourself, and my Highness did not force you!"

Everyone has a vicious side. Although Xiao Nian is timid by nature, he is easily shaken. Once he is overwhelmed by jealousy, he can do any stupid things. With a few words, Shi pulled him into the water.Now that I got on the thief ship, I realized that it is not so easy to think about it.

If Wei Ziyang really died, it would be worth taking the risk, but he just won't die, God knows what went wrong.

"If Wei Ziyang doesn't die, you will never want to return to the palace in this life. You know this better than me."

Xiao Nian nodded tremblingly, "Xiao Nian knows."

Qin Long gave a proper reminder, clicked to the end, and then restored a smile, "My Highness is also thinking of you, and I can't bear to see you living on the streets one day, understand?"

"Xiao Nian understands."

"Just understand, take it..." Qin Long took out a small colored paper bag from his arms, and stuffed it into his hand, "This is a headless grass, what should I do if I see blood sealing the Marquis?" Do you need me to say more?"

Previously, Qin Long had many scruples, and he used poison, which was so secretive that even the coroner couldn't find out what poison it was.Now that he is in a hurry, he simply does not do anything, and the next move is ruthless, using a deadly poison in an instant, even if the poison is found out afterwards, it can be pushed to the enemy's assassin.

Look for another chance when I look back, except for Xiao Nian, who knows nothing.

Wei Ziyang, if you want to blame, you can only blame your ignorance of current affairs!

Holding the bag of poison tightly in her hands, Xiao Nian recalled every detail of her relationship with the prince in the past two years in a short distance of a few hundred meters from His Highness's barracks to the kitchen.The prince always treated him so well when Wei Ziyang didn't show up.

It's all because of him, it's all because of him, he took away the prince!Since that night, the prince has never touched him again. If he doesn't die, the prince will never touch him again.

Thinking about this idea over and over again in my heart, like a curse, has reached the point of gnashing my teeth in the end!

He couldn't even wait any longer, so he put the poison in the meal when no one was prepared that evening.

There are not as many rules in the army as in the palace. No matter whether it is an officer or a soldier, the food is prepared in the same pot. There is no such thing as poison testing. There is no one to test poison, it is far easier than poisoning in medicine.

Xiao Nian thought to himself, maybe he didn't drink some of the medicines that he missed before, and the toxicity was not enough, but he must eat this meal, as long as he eats it, unless the gods save him, he will surely die!Seeing those meals being carried into the barracks, he returned to the house with a rough and uneasy mood.

Qin Mu came back at night, and the journey was full of wind and dust, but there was a smile on his face that he couldn't hide, and he yelled loudly before he entered the door, "Ziyang, I'm back."

There was no one outside, Qin Mu hurriedly took off his coat and walked inside, Wei Ziyang was sitting on a chair staring at the dishes on the table in a daze.

"Ziyang!"

Qin Mu hugged him from behind and said to him in an extremely excited voice, "I found the medicine, I found the medicine."

Wei Ziyang turned around and saw that he was in a daze. Is this still the well-dressed prince?His whole body was filthy, even his face was covered with dirty marks, his hair was messed up a lot, and his clothes were scratched a lot, as if he had been robbed.

"The old man refused to sell it for life and death. I begged for a whole day, and he finally told me where to pick it." After speaking, he took out a piece of something wrapped in a brocade handkerchief from his bosom, and opened it layer by layer like a treasure, "You Look, this Ganoderma lucidum is so fine, it looks like a treasure when it grows on the cliff." Knowing that he couldn't hear it, Qin Mu couldn't help but say it, his voice was full of excitement.

Wei Ziyang could almost imagine how hard it was to get this thing, tears rolled in his eyes, and he couldn't bear it no matter how hard he tried.

"Come on."

"What are your orders from the lord?"

"Send it to Imperial Physician Li and order him to dispense the medicine immediately."

"Yes!" The guard took the Ganoderma lucidum carefully, and walked out of the door step by step with his hands holding it like a treasure.

Wei Ziyang turned his back and put his fingers into the mask to secretly wipe away his tears, then picked up the brocade handkerchief and handed it to him.Qin Mu took it with a smile and wiped his face, glanced at the food on the table, his stomach growled immediately, and then he remembered that he hadn't eaten all day.

He casually grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Wei Ziyang slapped him in shock, the action was so sudden that Qin Mu was taken aback.The meat in his hand fell to the ground, and the back of his hand hurt from the beating. Looking at Wei Ziyang's face, he was pale, and his eyes were frighteningly straight.

"You, what do you mean?"

Wei Ziyang swallowed dryly, and blurted out two words, "It's cold." He poured the untouched food together, put on the plate, and shouted outside the door, "Come on! "

The guard entered the door and saw Wei Ziyang pointing to the pile of things and ordered, "Pour these out! The prince hasn't eaten yet, so he asked the cook to make some hot soup to drive away the cold, and some refreshing side dishes, the sooner the better." . ” The voice was quite loud, presumably because it was hard to control the volume because of the inaudible relationship.

The guards got the order and hurriedly collected those things and passed them on.

Qin Mu looked at the strange Wei Ziyang inexplicably, wanted to ask but couldn't.But when Wei Ziyang turned around again, his expression had recovered, and he smiled at him as if nothing had happened.

The medicine doctor Li prepared was brought over by the little ghost himself, and Wei Ziyang always felt that this bowl of medicine had been tampered with.

He took the medicine bowl and secretly tried it with the silver needle in his sleeve when no one was prepared. Sure enough, the silver needle turned black almost as quickly as the naked eye could see, just like those meals.

"Drink it quickly, it will be cold if you don't drink it."

Qin Mu's gentle smiling face was in front of his eyes, and Wei Ziyang couldn't bear to pour the bowl of highly poisonous soup on the ground in front of him no matter what.He forced a smile, slowly blew on the temperature, slowly approached his mouth and hesitated again.

That's poison, if you drink it...

"Wei Shenling, why don't you drink it? The prince hanged himself on the cliff for a whole day and night because of this Ganoderma lucidum, and almost lost his life. Don't disappoint his kindness." The little ghost knew that he didn't like to drink medicine. He also had to see him with his own eyes before he was willing to drink. I didn't expect him to be like this today, and there was already some complaint in his tone.

Qin Mu didn't care, turned around and smiled at the kid, "He can't hear him again, what to do with those things. Ziyang is most afraid of suffering, you go and get a bowl of honey water." The spoon cooled the bowl of medicine again, "Drink it, the good medicine tastes bitter."

Wei Ziyang twitched his stuffy nose, gritted his teeth to hold back the tears in his eyes, and poured the bowl of medicine into his stomach in one go.

Qin Mu was very pleased to see that he drank obediently.

But I don't know how much perseverance Wei Ziyang used to resist the cramping pain in his stomach. Cold sweat seeped out of his pores layer by layer, making him dizzy from the pain.For a few moments, a coolness came from nowhere, and this hot and cold fight made people tortured so much that life would be worse than death.

It wasn't until late at night that the torture-like taste slowly dissipated.

"Still can't hear you?"

"..."

"Didn't it be good to eat it? Why doesn't it work?"

Wei Ziyang and Qin Mu lay side by side on the bed, playing with his hair, smiling but not talking.

Qin Mu was a little discouraged, "It may take a few more doses, don't worry, it will definitely be cured." Qin Mu hugged him into his arms and rubbed his chin on his forehead, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, I will always treat him be with you."

"Sleep!" These two words were said in a very low voice, and Qin Mu didn't know if he heard them.After a while, he heard a soft reply, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

He was really exhausted these few days, sleeping so deeply, and snoring lightly, Wei Ziyang leaned sideways with his head supported on one hand, staring at his sleeping face in the dark.

"My lord, report urgently!"

Around the middle of the night, the guards outside the door reported that Wei Ziyang was still guarding him without closing his eyes.

The guard yelled a few times before Qin Mu woke up. He opened his eyes and saw Wei Ziyang's gentle gaze, "Why aren't you asleep yet?" Qin Mu rubbed his eyes and called out, "Come in. !"

Wei Ziyang had already got up to light the oil lamp, Qin Mu received the military report, and stretched out his hand to embrace Wei Ziyang, who had come back, into his arms, "Go down first."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

When he opened it, Qin Mu's expression became gloomy, and Wei Ziyang also leaned over to look at it, feeling startled.

Before he could finish reading, Qin Mu put it away in a hurry, turned around and pulled the clothes over his body, "Go to bed first, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Wei Ziyang looked at him puzzled, Qin Mu didn't want him to worry about those other things now, the most important thing is to keep healthy.Bend down and tuck him into the quilt and cover him, "You don't need to worry about those things, go to sleep."

Wei Ziyang seemed to understand what he meant, nodded his head, and watched Qin Mu leave the barracks.

The enemy hadn't finished what he should do now, so Wei Ziyang couldn't be in the mood to sleep.

I don't know what benefit Lu Yang gave Meng Guo, but let them send troops to besiege Qin State at this time. It seems that the situation is very bad.

The more Wei Ziyang thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He tossed and turned, unable to calm down, and finally got up and went out.Even though he was deaf, he was also an officer, so he felt that it was necessary for him to attend this meeting to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy.

In the meeting held overnight, there was no shortage of high-ranking officials except Wei Ziyang. As soon as he walked in, it was considered complete.The moment Qin Long saw him, he was really shocked. The food and soup had already been poisoned, so it stands to reason that Wei Ziyang should have died of poison a long time ago.I didn't see his figure just now and thought he had already gone to see the King of Hades, but I didn't expect... I cursed Xiao Nian secretly in my heart, a lowly slave who has done more than failed! "Wei Canling is really conscientious. He is deaf and still comes to listen."

"Didn't I tell you to rest?"

Wei Ziyang smiled at Qin Mu and found his own seat and sat down. He passed paper and pen to Liu Quangui and asked him to make a temporary hearing aid.

"I heard that Wei Canling was developing a magic weapon in the mountains, but why did he hurt himself like this? Could it be that you developed that magic weapon to make my great Qin general kill himself?" Qin Long's tone was still irritating, But Wei Ziyang couldn't hear it, but he was quiet.

Qin Mu was a little annoyed when he heard this: "Ziyang devoted himself to my great Qin, and almost lost his life in developing weapons to defeat the enemy, why does the emperor want to hurt people?"

"It's just a joke. It seems that the ninth brother really cares about him, and he is so protective. But then again, if the ninth brother cares, he should protect him better. His face was ruined, and now even his hands are ruined. If there is another time, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep this body! At that time, the ninth brother will really regret it."

"Brother Huang, it's better to think about how to get rid of the enemy now. Don't worry about these private matters!"

Liu Quangui wrote down Qin Long's words verbatim on the paper and showed it to Wei Ziyang.After seeing it, Wei Ziyang was secretly annoyed, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then took the pen and scribbled down a few words.Liu Quangui fixed his eyes and broke out in a cold sweat, he quickly blacked out those words with a few strokes, and said with a smile: "The leader said it was just an accident!"

The two were far away, and Qin Long didn't see what he wrote on the paper, but Qin Mu was sure that this sentence was definitely not what Wei Ziyang wanted to say. It must be some kind of disrespectful words to scare Liu Quangui like that. That's how courageous Wei Ziyang is.

"Forget it, now that Wei Canling is here, let me tell you what is your strategy to retreat from the enemy? Who in this army doesn't know that Wei Canling is full of economics and tricks, even if he is deaf, he can be one man and ten thousand people can't open it. The life and death of Daqin depends entirely on you!" I'm afraid everyone in the room could hear the tone of overt praise and undertones.
