Mask of Rebirth

In addition to one eunuch, there were twelve imperial guards accompanying the prisoner. This decree could not be resisted even if one wanted to.

Wei Ziyang was puzzled, why did the emperor think of summoning him in the middle of the night?Have things changed?Could it be...!Wei Ziyang didn't dare to think about it, took a few breaths, kowtowed and accepted the imperial edict.

"Yes! My lord, please come inside!"

The father-in-law glanced at the dark dungeon entrance, which looked like a dark cage, and couldn't help showing disgust, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, "Those who don't understand the rules, do you need me to go to such a trivial matter in person? "

"Oh, yes, I'm going to bring the prisoner out now."

"Go, I'm still waiting for my return, don't waste the time!"

"Yes!"

Wei Ziyang got out of the cell and brought the prisoner out in less than a while.The father-in-law heard that this man was very strong in martial arts, and specially seconded twelve Imperial Guards to escort him. Seeing that his feet were tied with wrist-thick chains, his heart was relieved a lot.

"Just leave it to us, you can go back."

"My lord, this, this is probably inappropriate."

The father-in-law was very displeased, "Huh? Why?"

Wei Ziyang made a salute and said: "My father-in-law doesn't know, this man's martial arts is so strong that it's hard to subdue him, the cell boss has repeatedly told us that when escorting such a person, he must be chained to himself, so that even if he wants to There is no escape."

After a closer look, it was indeed as he said, but the other end of the iron chain was tied to the young jailer's wrist. The two of them were like grasshoppers on a rope, neither of them could escape. "Hmph, there are Ouchi guards here and he can't escape, so quickly untie the chain."

"This... yes, my father-in-law's lesson is, sir, please wait for a while, I will take the prisoner down first, and find the prison boss to unchain him before bringing you out."

so troublesome?The emperor was still waiting to see him, and the delay angered Longyan, who can afford it! "How can there be so much time for you to delay! That's all, you just go with it."

Wei Ziyang said in his heart, what I want is your words!

He bowed his head in response and hastily locked Kongkong into the prison cart, stretching the other end of the iron chain and following behind, just like that all the way into the inner courtyard of the palace.

It was the first time for him to visit Qin's imperial palace. After walking through the small path through the side door, he could see the scenery inside the palace. The level of luxury was even higher than that of Lu's imperial palace.However, I didn't see any female relatives. I think it was a pre-arranged route. The guards with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, were quite heavily guarded.In this way, it doesn't look like a harem, but more like a military camp.

When he reached the gate of the inner palace, Kong Kong was put down in the prison cart, and was led by the imperial guards all the way into a red door more than ten feet high. On the door plaque was written Tai Chi Hall!

According to Wei Ziyang's judgment, this place is most likely Qin Mu's bedroom. After entering the gate, the guards guarded each other, and the eunuch got the pass and said loudly: "Master Xuanxu has an audience!"

Wei Ziyang was afraid that Qin Mu would be unfavorable to his senior brother, and wanted to follow all the way in, but he was stopped by the eunuch before he stepped over the threshold, "Those who don't understand the rules, step back!"

"Yes, yes, I don't know the rules, but this..." Wei Ziyang shook the chain in his hand, his face full of helplessness.

"You just kneel here, don't get up without my order!"

"Uh, yes!"

Wei Ziyang had no choice but to kneel outside the door obediently, a long chain stretched in along the crack of the door and was tied around Kong Kong's ankle.

It was definitely the first time that such an audience had been seen since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty. Of course, it was also the first time in history that the emperor summoned a criminal in his bedroom.God knows why he went crazy in the middle of the night.

Although the door was ajar, Wei Ziyang couldn't see what was going on inside because of the eunuchs staring at him.

However, the void can be clearly seen, the huge palace is deserted and scary, all the maids and eunuchs have been driven away, and at this moment there is only the emperor alone!She looked like she was about to fall asleep, but the dragon robe on her body had been changed long ago, she was simply wearing a white undershirt, her hair was loose, and there was an unspeakable loneliness in her laziness.

"Criminals kowtow to the emperor!"

"You don't need to be too polite, get up." Qin Mu stayed away from him, his eyes were fixed on the wall on one side, and he didn't know what he was looking at with such gentle eyes, "I can't sleep, I want to talk to someone."

This sentence made Monk Zhang Er puzzled by Kong Kong, and he didn't dare to ask, so he got up and stood quietly waiting for the emperor to speak.

"In the past few days, I have thought a lot. Maybe what you said is true!" Qin Mu picked up a silver mask from the imperial case, and gently stroked it with both hands. The softness made the heart soften , as if what he was stroking at this time was a face, a face that haunted him, "He is long gone!"

"..."

"I've been tossing around for so long, but I'm just deceiving myself and others." Qin Mu just had a nightmare, dreaming that Wei Ziyang came to claim his life bleeding from his seven orifices, he was frightened awake, a generation of kings were crying so hard in this silent night!

It was really unbearable to see his eyes red and swollen at this time.

"May the emperor mourn!"

"Six years! I..." Qin Mu's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak, "I will never forget him!"

"Everything in the world is reincarnation of cause and effect, and if there is a cause, there will be an effect!" This sentence, if he really has a guilty conscience, he can understand what it means.Of course, you have to taste the evil fruit of the cause you planted yourself!

"Do you all think I killed him?"

Wei Ziyang died in Lu Yang's arms. On the bright side, it seemed that Lu Yang killed him, but any smarter person would think deeply, how could Lu Yang be so stupid as to kill an important minister of another country so blatantly, let alone him Saved his life again.Furthermore, Lu Yang went to worship Wei Ziyang every year, and everyone could see that he had a deep affection for Wei Ziyang.He can't stand that kind of cruelty.So there is only one possibility, Qin Mu is using a knife to kill people!

Secretly poisoned to death this man who had no use value and would affect his reputation, framing Lu Yang made him speechless.

Qin Mu has never explained it to anyone, even Xue Tian, ​​who is convinced that he murdered him, has a lot of complaints about him. Qin Mu has been the scapegoat for six years.For him, people are dead, so what's the use of explaining?Even if the whole world knew that he couldn't bring Wei Ziyang back to life without killing someone, everything was meaningless to him.

What's more, the poison that poisoned Wei Ziyang was indeed made by him, and he hated himself very much for this alone.Without explaining, it is also for self-punishment to bear the infamy of treachery.

"Since people have turned to dust, what's the use of worrying about who is right?"

"I didn't kill him!" Qin Mu looked at him with unquestionable determination, "I can swear to God, I never thought of hurting him!"

That look, that tone, did not allow others to have any doubts at all. Void was a little confused for a while, and recalled what he witnessed back then. After all, it was what he saw with his own eyes. Could it be fake?

Kong Kong's eyes were full of suspicion, Qin Mu smiled wryly, who else in this world can believe what I say? "Forget it, everything is my fault! I deserve retribution!"

"If the emperor has a clear conscience, there is no need to blame yourself. The younger brother may see the truth if he is alive in the sky, and he will melt away the resentment in his heart in the future, so as not to enter the hell of Abi!"

"...I hope so!" Maybe it's because I've been hiding my thoughts for too long, and it's relieved to say it to others. Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "I've wronged you these days. , tomorrow I will decree to let you go."

This unexpected result made Kong Kong really unbelievable. He did not expect that Qin Mu, who was so persistent, would let him go so easily. It seems that he was convinced that Wei Ziyang was no longer alive. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"You go down."

"The poor monk resigns!" Kong Kong made a final salute, and when he got up, he couldn't help but glance at the place where the emperor had been looking, there was a whole row of portraits.Although it was taken at a glance and the distance was relatively far, Kong Kong still recognized the person in the portrait at a glance, who else could there be except Wei Ziyang.
