Mask of Rebirth

But the expected feeling of relief did not come, Su Li opened his eyes in disbelief, the sharp blade was already held by a strong and powerful hand, and blood flowed out from between the fingers at a speed visible to the naked eye It's dripping down!

"I will definitely save you!"

Su Li burst into tears, "You, let me die, please~"

"If you die, it will only make your loved ones hurt, and your enemies will be quickened. Are you willing?"

Qin Mu took advantage of his arrogance to pull the dagger out of his hand little by little, and threw it far away.Locking him into his arms again to ensure that he would not do stupid things again, he took out a brocade handkerchief to cover his wound, without even frowning from the beginning to the end.

At this moment, the kid pushed open the door and entered the room, and hastily pushed an old man with a gray beard all the way to the bed.

"Grassmen, see the Ninth Prince!" This old man was originally an imperial physician with excellent medical skills, but now that he is old, he has long since resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown in the countryside to take care of himself.No one dared to disturb his old man if it was not a major event of last resort.

Fortunately, his hometown is not too far from here.

Seeing the dusty guards rushing over, he said that the Ninth Prince was seriously ill, and he went out at night without even having dinner.He was led by the prince's bodyguards to gallop all the way for several days, an old bone was almost broken by the bumps, his tired beard was trembling, his eyes were dazzled and he still couldn't see clearly.

"Physician Wang doesn't need to be too polite. This young master has the poison of black magpies in his body, and now he is in unbearable pain. Please think of a way, old man."

The word "Wu Que" made the imperial physician turn pale with fright. Anyone who didn't know that they hit Wu Que would have a dead end! "This... grassroots are doing their best." After speaking, he hurried forward to feel the pulse of this young man who came from nowhere.After the first diagnosis, I was shocked, "This poisonous gas has entered the heart and lungs. If you don't take the antidote, your life may be in danger!"

"Is there any other way?"

Physician Wang shook his head, "If there is no antidote, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive tomorrow."

"...The antidote has been sent to get it, and it should be delivered tomorrow at the latest!" In fact, even Qin Mu himself is not sure whether the antidote can be fetched now, and now the seven-day deadline has already passed. If it passed, there must have been a mistake, otherwise Lou Handuan would not delay the time.Qin Mu looked down at the person in his arms, the expression on his pale face was extremely distorted, and anyone could see that he was enduring great pain at this moment. "Is there a way to stop the pain?"

The old doctor didn't know what to do, but he still pricked several big acupoints with needles, and ordered someone to make a decoction immediately and forcefully poured a bowl of it.This method can only suspend the toxicity, and it is purely an inferior strategy to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

After a while, Su Li's eyes really regained a bit of clarity, and his expression didn't look as painful as before.He stared blankly at the man standing by the bed, and he knew his identity in his heart.

"Is it better?"

Su Li answered by blinking his eyes. Although it was better than before, it was still painful.

"That's good, don't worry, the king has already sent someone to get the antidote."

Su Li knew that he had stepped into the gate of hell at this time, and if he didn't take the antidote when the deadline came tomorrow, he would have no way to recover.What Qin Mu said seems to be very easy, but the antidote is so easy to get, otherwise, how could Lu Yang use this poison for assassination.

Lu Yang, if it is so easy for you to take my life, why do you use such a cruel method and use the most vicious poison in the world to torture me until I die? What do I have to do with you? Deep hatred?Throughout more than 300 days and nights, the pillow people who accompany each other day and night, hide a cruel poison under the gentle and affectionate skin.It's ridiculous that I have never seen through people's hearts.

It was still pitch black outside the window, and there was no ray of dawn in sight. This slowly long night turned out to be so difficult.

"Go to sleep first, and you'll be fine when you wake up." Qin Mu persuaded.

Su Li, however, was unwilling to waste the last time of his life, thinking about his past life, his present life, and that passionate and ruthless man, the last scene stopped before his eyes.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to die, a stranger came to his rescue, and by his side, Su Li kept his gaze on his face, then on the bloody hand, and said to Qin Mu with the last ounce of strength. One sentence, "Many, thank you, my lord, for saving me." In just a few words, it seemed that I was really angry, and the pain that had just subsided slightly came back, this time it was even worse, and even the seven orifices felt unbearably hot all over the body.

People who are poisoned are most afraid of being emotionally agitated and the poison gas will attack their hearts. He forcibly swallowed the mouthfuls of blood that came up into his stomach. Su Li could already feel that he might not survive the sunrise.

Seeing his sudden and painful expression, Qin Mu hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Doctor Wang?"

Imperial Physician Wang was also very surprised, when he checked the pulse again, his brows gradually furrowed, this kind of pulse is what the poisoned person is most afraid of.After a long while, there was only a soft sigh, and he slowly retreated behind the crowd, "Forgive me, my lord, the young master has poisoned his heart, and he has no power to recover."

Qin Mu couldn't believe it, he took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve in a panic, and poured the remaining two life-extending elixir into Su Li.The holy medicine that is more expensive than gold, Qin Mu only had three pills, and in just a few days, they gave up to Su Li.

It's just a pity that Su Li's eyes no longer had a trace of focus, as if he was blind.It's just that his right hand firmly grasped the corner of Emperor Qin Mu's purple clothes and refused to let go, which proved that he hadn't died yet.

Qin Mu put his hands on one side and stared at him for a while, then finally grabbed that hand and gently held it in his palm, and said to everyone: "You all go out."

The kid secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, and quietly exited the door together with the old doctor.

Qin Mu carefully held Su Li in his arms, and looked at him unwillingly. The face that had fascinated him had lost all color, and was as white as paper. His lips showed a hint of lavender because of the poisonous hair. Enchanting and terrifying.Qin Mu looked at his heartache, and asked him softly, "Is there anything else you want to say? I'll listen."

Su Li's lips moved, and it took Qin Mu a lot of effort to hear the two barely audible words, "...name...?"

Qin Mu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he had the urge to cry, "I wanted to wait until Qindu to tell you... My name is Qin Mu, Qin from Qin, Mu Of course Mu."

The man didn't speak any more, just moved his fingers slightly, and then lay softly in Qin Mu's palm.

Qin Mu was stunned for a while, and slowly put his finger close to his nose, then retracted it tremblingly after a while, muttering to himself: "...You are infatuated with Lu Yang, why are you so unfeeling towards me? , just go away, don't even want to say a word to me, am I not treating you well?" He lowered his head and looked at the sleeping face carefully, even though his forehead was wounded and the corner of his mouth was bleeding. Still handsome and moving. "From the first time I saw you, I wanted to take you back to the capital of Qin, to hide in my palace, and to take you there on a horse when the red flowers in the mountains bloom next year. Only I know that place , just like the first time I saw you, I was fascinated by just one glance, you will definitely like the redness all over the mountain, right?"

No one answered, Qin Mu laughed to himself, laughing at himself for being stupid and pitiful.Laughing at myself, I thought about so many beautiful visions for nothing along the way, but in the end it was nothing but joy.He laughed again, at Su Li's infatuation, at Su Li's non-existent love and unforgettable hatred.It is said that women in the world are infatuated, so it turns out that men are also like this, is it worth it?

When Lu Yang receives the news of your death, I'm afraid he will just laugh it off, and forget you completely in a blink of an eye, but you are thinking about him all the time when you are dying.

Qin Mu opened Su Li's fingers one by one, and took out the contents in his palm.It was a leaf of Tianmuzao bamboo, which had lost its original emerald green color and turned yellow and lifeless.

Su Li had been in the palace for four years, and was rewarded with countless treasures from the emperor, but when he left, he only picked a leaf from the bamboo forest and hid it next to his body as he walked, holding it tightly until he died.

"My lord!" Lou Han finally came back, after an hour.He knelt on the ground with a pale face, and held his sword high above his head, "This subordinate is not good at work, please punish me, my lord!"

Qin Mu stared at his subordinates coldly, without saying a word for a long time.

Lou Han's face was almost pale, obviously caused by excessive blood loss. The dark night clothes were full of torn, and the dark red blood dripped down the corners of the clothes. You can only imagine how forbidding the Lu Kingdom Palace is. , How many masters ambushed around the Chongming Hall.

It is really rare to come back now, Qin Mu lowered his head and glanced at the dreaming man in his arms, and after a long time, he sighed lightly, "That's all."

"My lord!" Lou Han was greatly surprised, he didn't expect that his lord would escape his punishment with just two words.After regaining his senses, he slammed his head on the ground, "Thank you, my lord, for not killing me!"

Qin Mu stood up slowly and looked out the window at dawn, with no trace of tenderness on his face, "Bury him in the back mountain of Jinchan Temple, listening to the Buddhist scripture bells every day can also dissolve the resentment in your heart... Get rid of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible and be reborn!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Wrapped in a white cloth, Lou Han hugged Su Li's body and walked away. Qin Mu didn't look at him again, and felt a tingling pain in his heart.Finally, he said two words to himself, "It's a pity!"
