Mask of Rebirth

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have brought the court lady Jin Yun here, do you want her to come over for questioning?"

"pass!"

"Yes!"

Not long after retreating into Chifeng, Lu Yang ordered his subordinates to return to the palace, and secretly brought Jin Yun here for questioning.What he wanted to ask was nothing more than about Su Li. He really had too much confusion and regret in his heart.

"Handmaiden Jin Yun sees the emperor!"

Lu Yang looked at her carefully, remembering that she used to always follow Su Li around and saw her once a day. At this moment, she realized that she hadn't seen this clever girl for a long time, so long that she couldn't remember the date. .

Why do you feel that this girl seems to be old, but she is only in her early twenties, and a fine line has grown at the end of her eyes.Didn't she have a good time during this time?

Lu Yang's guess is true, since Su Li left, her life has been much worse than before, and this is all thanks to that young master.

Jin Yun has always been unable to understand why the son of a bitch wanted her to be his personal maid, let alone why he disliked him so much.Not to mention being demoted from a first-class court lady to a second-class court lady, the slaps she receives every day are countless.

If the food is not to your taste, you will be slapped, if the water temperature is not right, you will be slapped, if you say something wrong, you will be slapped, if your eyes are wrong, you will be slapped, even when you have done nothing wrong, this is a light one, if the master is in a hurry It is perfectly normal to suffer dozens of whips and canes, and dozens of boards.He is the master and he is a slave, no matter how wronged he feels, who can he say.

The young master hates her so much and refuses to let her go, so he just stays by his side and tortures her alive, even the maidservants on the left and right are bullying her along with the master.Jin Yun had the idea of ​​committing suicide several times, but he thought of his parents outside the palace and finally held back.

Today the emperor suddenly summoned her, and she couldn't figure it out. After all, this is the front line, and she shouldn't have come here like a girl.

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jin Yun stood up and slowly retreated to one side, Lu Yang waved his hand to the servants, and everyone knew how to leave the door.

"I invited you here today because I want to ask you a few words."

"My majesty, if I ask you, this servant will know everything."

Lu Yang hesitated for a moment before softly saying, "You, do you still remember Su Li?"

Jin Yun hesitated for a long time before turning back and saying, "Naturally I remember." It seems that the emperor has not forgotten Mr. Su... If I had known today, why bother!

"I'll just say it straight. According to Eunuch Li, when I had my birthday that year, Su Li came to see me with a birthday present that night."

"It's true! The slaves and the young master waited for half an hour outside the Chongming Palace, but...the emperor didn't summon him at that time."

Lu Yang was not only guilty of Su Li, but also resentful. He thought that the two had been together for more than a year, but Su Li actually concealed all his talents and learning, and refused to help him. This shows that Su Li may not have imagined for him back then. How can she not resent him because of her sincerity.But Su Li told him that if he was willing to summon those things that day, they would have belonged to him long ago.It's been too long, and Lu Yang has long forgotten what happened that day. After the armistice, he asked Eunuch Li, and he confirmed that there was indeed such a thing. "Tell me, what is Su Li's birthday present?"

Jin Yun took a deep breath, knelt on the ground slowly, and said: "This matter has been hidden in my servant's heart for a long time. Since the emperor asked about it today, I will tell you directly. It is a brocade scroll, Su The young master has been writing for several months, and we were never allowed to get close when writing, and we were not allowed to open the brocade box without authorization, so it is not very clear what slaves are written in it."

"You do not know?"

Jin Yun said again: "When the young master burned the brocade scroll, the servant saw a few words, and I still remember it to this day."

"What is it?"

"Weapons, gunpowder, epidemics, farming, and the art of war, the other servants have not seen."

Sure enough!He still remembered what Su Li said to him when the two of them made a pledge of eternal love in the bamboo forest, "If you still treat me like this after one year, I will give you a big gift!" Thinking of this, Lu Yang simply hated Feeling very sorry for myself, thinking back to the days when I was with you day and night, my eyes were already full of tears before I knew it.

"He burned the brocade scroll?"

"Yes, right after the emperor ordered him to be bestowed on Qin."

Lu Yang could simply imagine what kind of mood he was in that day and burned all his hard work.He clenched the handle tightly, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Su Li, I'm the one who can't help you!"

Thinking of Mr. Su's death in a foreign country, and seeing the emperor's remorse, Jin Yun was relieved, but his eyes were also wet, "If Mr. Su is alive in heaven, he will be able to rest in peace when he hears the emperor's words!"

How can those hurts be relieved with a single sentence, Su Li has already hated me to the bone! "Have you ever heard of the battle ahead?"

"The servant lives in the harem, so I don't know much about the things ahead, I just...know a thing or two."

"Do you know who owed me my defeat?"

Jin Yun shook his head, and then Lu Yang said with a sad smile: "It's Su Li!"

Jin Yun was startled, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he said in surprise, "Master Su is not dead?"

Lu Yang nodded, "Now, he is the official leader of Qin State!"

Not only did Mr. Su not die, but he became a general of the Qin State, no wonder!Jin Yun seemed to vaguely understand the meaning of what Su Li said that day. "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly, the young master once said a word to my servant when he burned the brocade scroll."

"what?"

"He said, this is the country!" However, now this country has been given to others by him, this is Su Li's revenge on the emperor!

country!Lu Yang chewed these two words carefully and swallowed them into his stomach, feeling sad.

Su Li, Su Li, you have such sincere feelings for me, but I treat you like this, no wonder you hate me so much, I have to blame myself, I can't blame others!

"Back off, I, I want to be quiet."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

The building was empty, and the silent needle drop could be heard in the elegant hall of the huge garrison mansion.Lu Yang sat on the chair blankly by himself, looking at the carved window railing of Fulu Shuangshou, without moving for a long time.

This time I lost too thoroughly, not only lost the country but also lost the deep and righteous love, no, I lost a long time ago, I lost it in my own hands!

"Your Majesty, this old slave has something important to report."

Lu Yang supported his forehead exhaustedly, and it took him a long time to call out, "Come in."

Eunuch Li bent down and entered the door cautiously, knelt down and saluted, and then reported, "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Qin Kingdom are here to discuss peace."

Negotiating peace, indeed, although Lu was defeated, but still defended these two cities, Qin has reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and if the war continues, Qin will not get any benefits.

"Who sent it?"

"It's Mr. Liu from the Shangshu Mansion. I heard that it was sent by the Ninth Prince."

Lu Yang thought for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "Tell him to go back and tell Wei Ziyang that I want me to sign the letter of surrender. Unless he comes in person, otherwise, even if there is only one soldier left, I will never retreat!"

"This... yes, this old slave is going to deliver the emperor's oral order!"

"Wait... There is one more thing for you to do."

"Yes!"

Lu Yang thought for a moment, then untied the jade badge on his waist and handed it to him, "After passing the decree, you return to the palace immediately, and investigate something for me..."

Everything was as Wei Ziyang expected, he still knew a little about Lu Yang's temperament. "I just said that this is a waste of time. It would be strange if you sent a minister to meet with him."

"This king knows that it is you that Lu Yang wants to see!" Qin Mu sharply ground his white teeth, "He is dreaming!"

"I don't intend to see him, why are you so angry." Wei Ziyang poured a cup of tea with his own hands, and handed it up with both hands, "My lord, please drink tea, and calm down by the way."

Qin Mu didn't buy it, "Lu Yang definitely has no kindness towards you. I'm not angry. Huh, if I knew this, why would I have done it before? If it weren't for him, how could you have been poisoned so badly that you almost lost your life."

Speaking of this, Wei Ziyang's mood became a little heavier. According to Lou Han, the black magpie is indeed something that only the Lu Kingdom's palace has, but it can't be said that other people can't get this poison. If you are a reasonable person from the rivers and lakes, then you will not be sure if the person who poisoned you is Lu Yang. "Lu Yang said that he never poisoned me."

"I heard...you believe it?"

"I do not know."

"Even if he didn't poison you, he still wouldn't be able to run away from those people in the palace. If he treats you wholeheartedly, others might not have the chance to poison you!"

Qin Mu is right, Wei Ziyang has already sent someone to secretly investigate what happened back then, except for Lu Yang, a heartless and ungrateful person, Wei Ziyang will not let anyone who murdered him go!

"Seeing that we are about to run out of ammunition and food, who will the prince plan to send next?"

"You don't have to worry about this matter. This king has his own arrangements. In short, I will never let you see Lu Yang!"

"My lord can't trust me?"

"I only trust you in this world. This king is just worried that Lu Yang will harm you!" Qin Mu held Wei Ziyang in his arms and gently stroked his hair, "If you insist that this king is jealous, I won't deny it. .”
