The "good news" came the next day, and the Palace Master sent me to ask questions.

I walked into the empty main hall, and I no longer knew whether to tremble or doubt his purpose for calling me here this time.

In the main hall, the hall master had his hands behind his back, as if he had been standing for a long time.The not-so-simple, even complicated and delicate robes of the hall master looked extremely monotonous once worn by this person.Perhaps he was a monotonous person, as if he was invisible to others. He wore simple and dilapidated cloth boots, while the guards were all wearing special leather boots with heels that could crush people to death.

"Hallmaster." Walking behind him, I called out to him.

The person who turned his back seemed to say "hmm" before saying nothing more.

Suddenly, he asked me: "You didn't leave when you could, are you doing it for Jiang Wuque, or something else?"

Forced to calm down, I lowered my eyes and answered, "It's not all... because of Jiang Wuque."

"Really?" The man standing on his back finally turned around slowly at this moment, his eyes were like icicles. Although I didn't look at it, I could feel the gaze above my head that almost made everything freeze.

"I don't blame you." The voice of the hall master gently comforted, "Just raise your head."

"Yes..." I looked up and looked at his scary but already familiar red-striped mask.

The corners of the lips under the mask were slightly relaxed and raised. The Palace Master, who seldom smiles, smiled and asked at this moment: "Are you afraid of me?"

Before I could answer, he asked again, still calmly: "Do you really think I don't know what's on your mind?"

My fingertips trembled slightly, but my face still pretended not to understand. So, I braced myself and looked at him.

He said he knows my thoughts... which one is he referring to? I have a lot of thoughts, does he really know all of them?

The hall master scanned my face up and down, and when his eyes returned to focus, he was no longer the pale person in the secret room, and now he said in a low voice: "The puppet master told me that he went to look for you, hoping to borrow your money. Set out Jiang Wuque's secret, but you don't agree, is there any such thing?"

I fixedly stared at the slowly opening and closing lips, which were thin, and showed the kind of arc that could not be relaxed for a moment. The puppet master came to me, but it was not that I refused to agree, but that I chose one of the two. I chose another one... It's just that, but I couldn't explain it clearly to the person in front of me.

"Why don't you talk?" The palace master narrowed his eyes and asked me softly.

"Yes, the puppet master did come to me, but I didn't agree."

"That's good," the hall master nodded, "Now I'm begging you, please go and find out about Jiang Wuque's past, are you willing?"

Clenching his fists slowly, I hope he has never said anything, and if he did, I hope he can take it back.

No matter how bad this person's intentions are, I can have doubts about everything when I'm not close to him, but if he wants me to lie to Jiang Wuque, the mask of the palace master will no longer have any covering effect. I have admitted that he is Jiang Yulang.

"If I don't agree," he looked directly at him, "will I die?"

"No." He shook his head unexpectedly, "But if you agree, you will be rewarded."

"Return?"

"I've already said," he said, "Even Jiang Wuque can see how much you care about me, so how could I not know?"

One sentence horrified me, but it was more frightening than knowing that he had seen through my mind—because there was another hint in his words: He understood Jiang Wuque's every move, which might include the time when I thought there was no one around. All the whispers with Jiang Wuque, if not, how would he know how Jiang Wuque warned me?

Without time for me to think about it, the Hall Master stretched out his hand and lifted my hand between the two of them, "If you help me," he said softly, "I will definitely not treat you badly."

There was a rumble in my head, and I heard the soft words of a happy person, but I shook my head, and what sounded in my heart was Jiang Wuque's pale warning in the cell:

...Do you know who Jiang Yulang is?

...In Yihua Palace, there was also a palace lady who listened to that man's words, but she was cheated miserably in the end...

...Aren't you, have you been deceived?

How could this happen, I couldn't get rid of my hand, but the palace master held me tightly, but asked in a very calm voice: "Are you worried about Yu Ji?" Yu Ji refers to his own wife - Mrs. Hu! "You should know that I have never been sincere to her..." He looked at me with firm and sincere eyes, no one could see his hypocrisy, no one could guess his inconsistency. The miserable Jiang Yulang, a good girl, and the palace master in my impression are two people who have been broken for life. That person is silent and hysterical—and this person is calm and calm, with a brilliant tongue and a vicious mind.

"I'm sorry," I shook my hand away, "Jiang Wuque rarely communicates with me on weekdays, so I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."

The eyes changed in an instant, and the corners of the raised lips moved down inch by inch and became tense... At this moment, this person is the Lord of the Hall of the Emperor Qiu, unabashedly indifferent and brutal, looking at me fixedly at this moment.

With a sneer, he took a step back, "You should understand that since I have spoken, you cannot help but not agree."

"Why?" I didn't understand, "Why do you insist on getting Jiang Wuque's secret? I don't believe it. If you don't have this secret, you can't think of other ways to make him submit? To die, or to ask him to give up his mind and become your puppet, you could have succeeded a few years ago, but you haven’t exhausted your means—otherwise, the puppetry would have succeeded early on, right?!”

He was not surprised by what I said, nor did he have any desire to refute. "That's right, besides getting his secret, there are indeed many ways to make him submit. For example, if you don't show up, you won't have as much fun as today."

"What did you say?!"

The eyes behind the mask lit up, and the corners of the lips finally curled up, "What's the fun in turning an unresponsive corpse into a puppet?" The voice of the palace master was full of laughter, just by hearing , relaxed and joyful—"Do you think that the turmoil in the Qiuhuang Palace can really escape my eyes? You underestimate me as the palace master. To have today's Qiuhuang Palace, I am no longer the Jiang Yu in Jiang Wuque's eyes." Lang!"

When it came to "Jiang Yulang" three sons, the voice suddenly changed.Who would call his own name with such gnashing of teeth, I was frightened by the scarlet in his eyes, and my heartbeat in my chest seemed to be out of control.

When he slowly put away the too sharp gaze under the mask, "Do you understand now?" He asked, "It's not that you are lucky, but you can escape from death by bumping into my hands several times; it's not that I'm too busy and you are too idle, I don't have time to care about how many good things you have done for Jiang Wuque in private... From the first day Jiang Wuque lived in that cell, there was always someone behind the cell wall watching his every move, you think, I will let you alone A pawn to sabotage the revenge plan I created? You are too naive, whether you are secretly approaching Jie Xinghen, or you have the audacity to make Jiang Wuque escape by feigning death, all of these are done with my acquiescence."

He took my hand, the left hand, at the wrist, and squeezed it lightly, and the broken bones made a crisp sound—"Sun Yingyu, did you think that such a day would come?" The light in his eyes was not only contempt , behind the mask, even giving people an illusion, he frowned hard, as if he could never calm down again, "I can only say," he said softly, "you asked for everything."

Let go of me, I fell to the ground.

There was a jingle, and at the same time, a medicine bottle was lightly thrown from my hand.The body of the bottle made of jade, I know that it contains special medicine for boosting energy, and at the same time the voice of the hall master sounded: "I asked the puppet master for the medicine, and I know everything about him asking you to make the poison, so you don't have to tell me about it anymore." I have any concealment, because of you, I am very clear from the beginning to the end."

Staring blankly at the bottle of medicine in hand, "Are you kidding me?" At this moment, my voice was so stiff that even I felt strange, "Are you guys kidding me together?!" Raising my head suddenly, I stared at The eyes behind the mask, "No one wants to improve their skills at all, and no one wants to poison anyone—you just want to see me foolishly played around by you—is it fun? See me worrying about guilt and fear all day long Is it fun?!"

Echoes in the main hall/The woman raised her voice and yelled without any scruples. The torches were inconstant, just like the eyes of the hall master, which were cloudy and sunny.

"Is it fun..." He repeated softly after a long time, "You checked my pulse and joked about your own life, is it fun..."

I was stunned, looked down at the medicine bottle, and then at him, probably I was really mad with anger, how could I think that those medicines and poisons were just for fun?The hall master really took the medicine I prepared, and even the poison, he didn't miss a dose.

Why would someone beg to poison themselves for their own sake—the hand is numb on the ground, I am too lazy to ask any more, and I just ask myself to humiliate myself.

"You took good care of Jiang Wuque..." the hall master said in a deep voice, "Even I admire you a little. Before you came, he was no different from the living dead, but you can make him resist the puppet technique to the extreme." Today. As I said, I really don’t know whether to blame you for destroying my plan, or to thank you...Sun Yingyu, do you want to know a person who came back to life after his heart died, and let people betray him from the beginning to the end? How would people react?"

"you……"

"Do you want to say that you won't help me?" The palace master smiled and slowly shook his head, "I remember someone once said to me... father, mother, and elder brother, as long as they have each other, they feel that they are enough, but The extra fifth person, but any one of them is missing... can't."

"Jiang Yulang..." I stared at him dumbfounded, and I couldn't even believe my ears... The words I spoke to him in the secret room that night, when I leaned on his chest, I smugly told him the biggest secret in my heart, "Jiang Yulang, hello..."

"What, it hurts like this?" He smiled, "The puppet master's method really worked. The biggest secret is threatened by the most trusted person. It is indeed enough to make anyone's life feel like death. I don't think Jiang Wuque will either. exception."

"Give up, I won't help you..."

His smile stopped immediately, "Do you know why I have kept Jiang Wuque until today, and why I have not taken away his sanity for so long? The purpose is to torture him——I don't want him to die easily, and I don't want him to die easily. I don't want to see him compromise easily for any personnel, I just want to see him collapse, how that perfect Hua Wuque crumbles before my eyes!"

Every word expresses the intention, I even suspect that I heard the vicious smirk in the palace master's throat.

"You...why on earth...hate Jiang Wuque so much?"

"Hush..." He motioned me to silence, "This is a secret, you don't need to know. You just need to know, I have paved the way for you, I told Jiang Wuque that you like me, sooner or later you will betray him... he Although you don't believe it, you haven't had a good night's sleep during this time. From this point of view, before you know it, you are the last straw by Jiang Wuque's side. You can drag him to the surface of the water to see the scenery for a while, or Let him be in an instant—forever!"

As for me, I have long given up hope, but I still insist: "Stop wishful thinking, I will never help you!"

"Is it your wishful thinking?" The other party smiled, "The medical fairy 'Sun Zhongjing' in the Four Seas City is now a guest in the guest room of the Emperor Qiu Palace. Why, do you want to see them? But don't worry, as long as you can make Jiang Wuque live It would be better to die, and I will let the puppet master keep his methods that make ordinary life worse than death."

"Sun Yingyu..." Approached, bent over, "Do you know, I was serious about letting you go, but you chose to stay—so you can blame no one but yourself for everything today!"
