Mask of Rebirth

As summer turns into autumn, the nights get cooler and cooler.

In the Beiyuan of the Imperial Palace, there are very few people walking around here on weekdays. At this time, there is no light at all at night, and the bamboo leaves are rustling with the wind. If you listen carefully, you will feel panic.

Jin Yun was wearing a warm jacket and gown and could still feel the cold wind blowing eeriely, making the back of the neck cold.

This was not the case here half a month ago, but as soon as the sky was dark, the small path in the bamboo forest would have been lit with palace lanterns long ago, and the three steps, one post, five steps, and one whistle are not as deserted as they are now.

Jin Yun secretly sighed, thinking of going back to send a message to his master, he quickened his pace.

Jin Yun is a maid in the palace, and all the servants replace her as an aunt.He has the same status as the eunuchs in charge of other palaces, the only difference is that his master is a man, one of the few male favorites in the harem, and Jin Yun is also one of the few stone girls in the palace.

According to folklore, stone girls are the kind of women who cannot marry men for life. Because such women cannot marry, their families send them into the palace and serve as slaves for life.Jin Yun has been in the palace for three years and has served four young masters. The previous three young masters died or went mad without exception.

But this one now is a little different from the previous ones. According to the rumors in the harem, he was once the most favored man by the emperor, bar none.

It's a pity that those favors seem to have become a thing of the past at this time.

"Son!"

"Is the emperor coming?"

"The maidservant has already asked, Eunuch Li said that the emperor tonight...tonight..."

Su Li's phoenix eyes were lowered, as if she had expected the result long ago without any disappointment on the surface, she just said indifferently: "I see, you can go down."

"My lord, it's getting late, do you want to eat?"

Jin Yun carefully raised his eyes to peek at Su Li, and saw that he was looking at the moonlight outside the window as if he didn't hear what he said at all.In a blink of an eye, he looked at the cold food on the table, and thought, the young master probably didn't want to eat again.But today is the young master's birthday, how could he allow him to treat him so poorly? Thinking of this, he winked at the maids behind him and asked them to bring the food down and heat it up.

Then he also retreated out with the others, and when the door was closing, he saw that the young master was still looking into the distance in that posture, but he couldn't hide his dejected look any longer.Dressed in crescent moon white clothes, hair tied with a jade crown, handsome facial features, and exquisite heart, anyone who looks at it will feel pity in his heart.It's a pity that he gave birth to a boy, and after the grace passed, his face would grow old, and there would be no good results in the end.

People go to the empty building, and the silent needle drop can be heard in the hall, only the red candle is swaying, illuminating that vague and lonely shadow.

There is so much silence in the world of mortals, and the slightest melancholy lingers in my heart!

"It's only one month, one month!" Su Li said to himself, and finally smiled bitterly, "So you're nothing more than that!"

Unexpectedly, in just one year, this good skin lost all its appeal to him.Thanks to the fact that I have made a covenant with him in the bamboo forest under the falling flowers, I am afraid that he has forgotten it long ago, right?It is said that the king is ruthless, but it turns out that the words of wisdom are true.The oath that was once pledged to each other, and the oath that will never change until death is nothing but a joke of the king.It's ridiculous that I was an elite in my first life, and I was reborn as a human being, but I still can't see through people's hearts and things in the world!

What's even more ridiculous is that such a ruthless and ungrateful person, I still hope day and night that he can drive around the Qingyang Palace, take a look at the old man, and give him a little favor.

It's really ridiculous, ridiculous!

Su Li picked up the wine glass and drank it down, a pungent feeling entered his throat, followed by coughing and wheezing, Jin Yun, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, couldn't help but feel sorry for him, "Master, you are still sick, be careful body."

Su Li covered his mouth and coughed twice, then waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, I can't die." There was a wry smile on the corner of his lips that was full of sadness.

"If you don't want to ask this servant again, maybe the emperor is free now."

"Forget it, why bother yourself." Su Li might really feel that he was bored, and he laughed out loud after speaking, but his eyes were full of bitterness.

He walked to the desk with the wine glass in his hand, gently opened the palm-sized brocade box on it, and looked at the contents in his hand.

Jin Yun didn't know many words, but he could still read the words Art of War on the brocade scroll.I can't help but feel a little strange, the young master's first male favorite can only know a little poetry and poetry, how can he write the art of war for marching and fighting.

But this thing was indeed written by the young master himself, Jin Yun is very sure of this, and what is even more certain is that there must be a hidden mystery behind it, because Su Li never allowed others to approach when writing these things, let alone these servants Go open that brocade box without authorization.

Jin Yun was thinking about it and suddenly saw Su Li bring the brocade scroll close to the candle, as if he was going to destroy it, and said anxiously, "Oh, my lord!"

How could Su Li have the heart to ruin the art of war that he had written silently from his memory. It was supposed to be a birthday gift to that man fifteen days later, a birthday gift that could help him unify the world!But now it has lost its function, so what's the use of keeping it. "...why not!"

Jin Yun didn't understand the value of that thing, but only knew that it was written by Mr. Su after staying up all night for several months. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to ruin his hard work if he set it on fire? "...Since it's written and ruined, it's not a pity."

Su Li chuckled, looked at it again and again, and then put it back into the brocade box, "It's a pity, so let's keep it for now." Turning around, he sat back at the table and drank wine one after another until the moon set in the west. The food that was cold, hot, and cold was still untouched.

The sky was getting brighter, and Su Li didn't feel sleepy, so he ordered someone to change his clothes and walked to the bamboo forest with slightly shaky steps.He must come here every day, but even he himself is not clear about his purpose.

Su Li woke up in this bamboo forest more than a year ago.

The sky was gray and the kingfishers were singing golden. Even though his whole body was in unbearable pain, Su Li couldn't help but marvel at the scene of a paradise.

He has just arrived, is in another world, and wears someone else's body. He has refused to accept the reality for many days.Coupled with the serious illness and no one to treat him, Su Li once felt world-weary.

It was still in this bamboo forest that he met that man for the first time.

Su Li will never forget that scene. The man was wearing a bright blue brocade robe, with phoenix eyes and thin lips smiling.He walked towards him step by step, with an awe-inspiring aura of a king, and instantly enveloped himself in it.

"This young man?"

Su Li turned around and saw a strange man in front of him. He was dressed in brocade clothes and a jade crown, but his face was very familiar. "What's the matter?"

His indifferent question made Qin Mu not know what to say for a while, "...Oh, I seem to be lost." I thought he would give some pointers, but I didn't expect this person to be indifferent At the extreme, he turned his head and called Jin Yun, turned around and left.

The servant girl was polite, she bowed slightly and said, "Where is this young master going?"

"Um, Chongming Palace."

Jin Yunyu pointed with her hand, "Follow this road, and you will be there after a stick of incense." After speaking, she bowed her body and left gracefully.

Qin Mu was so frustrated that he refused to move for a long time as he stared at the handsome young man's disappearing figure.As a favored prince, I have seen quite a few concubines who are child molesters, and none of them has such a temperament, it is truly unforgettable.

I came here today because I had nothing to do to walk around this exotic palace. I didn’t expect to encounter such a beautiful scenery. It was a worthwhile trip. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but smile again. A playful look flashed in my eyes, and I waved my fan Turned around and left.

Su Li over there turned his head at this moment and glanced at Qin Mu's back.From this point of view, it really resembles that man's aura, but at first glance, he is not someone in the pool. If the guess is correct, this stranger who has never seen him before should also be a relative of the emperor.

There are many dignitaries in the imperial palace, and their relationships are complicated. I think I have been here for more than a year and Su Li's own memory can only recognize these faces.For a whole year, she put all her thoughts on that man, and never thought about how to live wisely and protect herself in this palace.He thought that with the emperor's favor and the emperor's oath, he could sit back and relax, but in the end he fell into such a situation.

Wei Ziyang, you really lived two lives in vain!

Wei Ziyang!I have used the name for more than 20 years in my previous life, but when I mention it suddenly, I feel a little strange.remember what?The experience of the previous life, parents, brothers and sisters, and the past of more than 20 years are not so easy to forget all.Today, for some reason, those memories flashed before my eyes one after another, and I suddenly miss those old people so much.

Su Li was fascinated by what he was thinking, but suddenly Jin Yun grabbed his sleeve and pulled it back, "Young master."

Su Li followed her line of sight and couldn't help being startled. A group of eunuchs was walking slowly on the bluestone road between the palace walls on both sides, and the bright yellow Luanjia was approaching.The four-cornered flying dragon is carved with golden light, the chair is covered with snow-white fox fur, and the golden curtains around it are full of grace and luxury.

According to the rules in the palace, Yuluanjia should kneel and kowtow, no matter what the relationship between the two is in private, this ceremony is absolutely indispensable in front of outsiders.Su Li knelt down, but couldn't help but look at it secretly. The two hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, and it was definitely a lie to say that they didn't want to.

But he didn't expect that the person on Luan's car would not say a word when he was in front of him. Just when Su Li was puzzled, a corner of the curtain on the Luan's car was lifted, revealing an astonishingly beautiful face.

Her face was like a crown of jade, her pupils were water-cut, her features were clear and her eyes were clear, her teeth were bright and her lips were red, she was really a jade-like beauty, even if Su Li saw her, she couldn't help but praise her in her heart.Looking carefully, the small Adam's apple is looming, such a beauty is actually a man.At this moment, he was lazily leaning on the golden and jade-carved car, looking down at Su Li with contempt in his eyes, and a hint of arrogance could not be concealed between his brows.

"Who is he?"

"He is, yes..." Jin Yun glanced at Luan Jia who had already gone away and was afraid to answer, for fear of offending his master.I've been hiding it for more than ten days, why did I run into it today? If the young master finds out, he will definitely be seriously ill.

"Say!"

Mr. Su is kind, but once his face turns cold, he is not angry and pretentious, which makes people feel afraid. Jin Yun shivered and dared not hide it, "He is a servant who came to Jizhou Mansion as a tribute, Mr. Du... During this period of time, he is always in bed."

Su Li's body flickered, and he held on to the palace wall with one hand to barely stand firm.The severe pain hit the chest directly, as if a galloping horse had trampled on it!

Once upon a time, only he, Su Li, could take this car, but now...

For a whole year, as a man, he monopolizes the favor, rides across the palace, rides in a chariot, monopolizes the dragon bed, and enters the imperial study.The love of the ancients was not one-thousandth of Lu Yang's favor for Su Li.Su Li once thought that he came to this other world because of this eternal romance.

Only now do I realize that it was nothing more than self-indulgent sentimentality, idiot's dream!
