When Mu Lingzhi led the official errand and rushed to the mass grave with a torch, the wild dog, which had been hungry for a winter, had already bitten Mu Ziyue's corpse to pieces

When the torch in his hand illuminated the eerie mass grave, even people like Mu Lingzhi who had been on the battlefield and had seen bloody scenes were shocked by the scene in front of them!

And some timid officials couldn't help but turn pale, nauseated and vomited

The cold wind blew fiercely, and in the deserted graveyard of mass graves, there were messy and terrible white bones, and flesh and blood everywhere, as well as torn rags in that place

The rich smell of blood was breathless, and the well-fed wild dogs, like ferocious jackals, stood on the grave not far away, letting out a series of creepy low roars

All this, it is not difficult to see what kind of terrible hell on earth has been experienced here

Although Mu Lingzhi no longer had any feelings for Mu Ziyue, at this time, seeing her fall into such a tragic end, he still felt a little unbearable in his heart

An official found Mu Ziyue's bitten head. 【Latest chapter reading. Finally, take her head and bring it back to Dali Temple

After all this, Mu Lingzhi, who returned to the other garden from Dali Temple, although he didn't sleep for two nights in a row, looked tired. But when he thought that everything was settled, a trace of joy welled up in his heart, and he couldn't feel the slightest hardship.

Thinking that now that the grievances on Yu Ruyan's body have been resolved, Mu Xiang and the eldest prince are also subdued, and the most important thing is that Yu Ruyan forgives him for the piercing pain of her eyes and is willing to return to him and return to their home, Mu Lingzhi's tired eyebrows and eyes are about to fly with joy

The steps under his feet were already flying, he quickly came to Yu Ruyan's bedroom, and when he arrived at the door, he couldn't help but slow down his pace for fear of waking her, and gently pushed the door open, but when he saw the scene inside, he was slightly stunned----

At this time, the sky had not yet lit up, but in the house, Yu Ruyan was not sleeping on the bed, but sitting alone by the windowsill, her eyes were empty, and her face was moist

Hearing the sound of opening the door and smelling a faint ambergris in her nose, Yu Ruyan hurriedly turned her head and raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face.

When she turned her head again, she already had a faint smile on her face, and said softly, "But Your Highness is back?" ”

No matter how fast she moved, Mu Lingzhi had already seen her red and swollen eyes from crying, and his heart ached, so he hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand, looked at her face fixedly, frowned and worried: "What's wrong with you?" Why don't you sleep well and sit here crying, is something happening?"

"It's okay, Your Highness thinks too much!" Yu Ruyan interrupted Mu Lingzhi's words, and her heart was obviously suffocated, but she gritted her teeth to suppress the tears that were about to flow, lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her head to let him see her appearance clearly.

"It's okay, why are you crying so hard!" Since last night, Mu Lingzhi has faintly felt her difference, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but raise her head to himself, and said anxiously: "What happened, tell me quickly?" ”

Yu Ruyan's heart hurt so much that it was about to break, but there were some things that had to be hidden from him forever, even if he hated himself, he couldn't let him know all the truth

She choked up and said, "Your Highness, I just dreamed that Brother An, she was having a bad time, and she couldn't climb up after soaking in the water, Your Highness." She has been afraid of water since she was a child, and she can't drink water."

When she said this, she successfully dispelled the doubts in Mu Ling's heart.

He put his mind at ease, stepped forward and gently hugged her into his arms, and sighed: "Before, the secret guard who searched for them came to report that it was on a hidden river beach hundreds of miles away, and some villagers found the body of Qiu's mother. The secret guard went to confirm that it was indeed Mother Qiu herself, but there was still no news of Brother An and the copper coin."

Speaking of this, he sighed and said ruthlessly: "After so long, I guess I estimate that they are more than lucky." Therefore, you have to be mentally prepared to accept that Brother An and the copper coin have passed away."

With a pain in her heart, Yu Ruyan raised her hand in pain to cover her colic's heart, although she understood that what Mu Lingzhi said was the truth, she still didn't give up and said: "I know that what His Highness said is right, but I don't want to give up if I haven't seen Brother An's corpse for a day ----." Therefore, I also implore Your Highness not to give up, hard guards, so that they do not give up the search"

Mu Lingzhi understands her friendship with Brother An, who depends on him for life and death, and at the same time, his heart can't let go of the copper coin that he grew up with him since he was a child, although he always dislikes him for being clumsy and clumsy, and his brain is not bright, but the copper coin has followed him since he was a child, grew up with him, and went to the battlefield with him to kill the enemy, loyal, and his friendship with him also surpassed the love of master and servant, and there was a brotherly love of life and death in it.

He was also sad in his heart, and he stiffened his throat and said: "Don't worry, I have the same idea as you, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death." If I don't see them for a day, I won't give up looking! ”

Yu Ruyan's heart was sour, and she lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trouble!" ”

After that, she suddenly changed her tone and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I want to eat the braised pork you made, you can make it for me!" ”

As long as she is happy, Mu Lingzhi has something to rely on, and he doesn't care about the exhaustion of his whole body, so he immediately responds happily, knowing that she didn't sleep well last night, he sent her to bed to lie down, and ordered: "You sleep for another half an hour, and when you wake up, the braised pork is almost ready." ”

Yu Ruyan responded obediently, listening to his footsteps and leaving, but the next moment, she couldn't help crying sadly

She didn't sleep, and asked Chunhua and Qiuyue to help her make up.

Usually, she asks them to help her comb her simple hairstyle, but today, she asked Chunhua and Qiuyue to help her comb a delicate and dazzling Feixian bun, apply rouge to her pale face, and then let the two maids help her choose a beautiful dress.

Because of Queen Xie's mourning period, the clothes should not be too showy. Yu Ruyan asked them to choose a quiet but delicate dress. The two of them followed her instructions, but they found the streamer silver dress that Mu Lingzhi specially took her to Jinxiuzhuang to make in order to participate in the chess competition in the closet, and couldn't help but happily brought it to Yu Ruyan, and said: "Master, this streamer silver dress is beautiful and plain, and it matches your hair bun today, and it is delicate and special."

The two maids took their dresses and wiped them excitedly on Yu Ruyan's body, but when Yu Ruyan heard this, her whole body was stagnant, and the sadness in her heart was even stronger

Stretched out her hand and held this dress that Mu Lingzhi gave her for the first time in her arms and rubbed it carefully, this streamer silver dress was not only for her. Mu Lingzhi also had one, at that time, she happily wanted to wear it to accompany Mu Lingzhi to attend the chess competition and accompany him to kill in all directions

However, this dress, except for the day when she tried it on, Mu Lingzhi helped her make a portrait under the plum tree, but since then, she has never worn it

She thought it had fallen into the palace, or had been swept out when she left the palace for the first time and returned to Daqi. Unexpectedly, it was actually stored in the other garden by Mu Lingzhi intact.

Even though there was a thousand reluctance in her heart, she finally put down the clothes in her hand and said coldly: "Put it away and change into that white dress." ”

Qiu Yue was very pity, and was about to mutter that this dress was good-looking, and it would be a pity not to wear it, but she was stopped by Chunhua's eyes, and hurriedly found the one that Yu Ruyan wanted from the closet and put it on for her.

When her side was just busy, the braised pork on Mu Lingzhi's side was also ready.

However, he was worthy of carrying a large bowl of fragrant braised pork into the house. Yu Ruyan was about to sit down to eat, someone came to the palace, and invited the two of them to enter the palace together!

Smelling the rich and tempting smell of meat between her nose, Yu Ruyan felt sad and reluctant, so she said to the chief eunuch who passed the decree: "Can I ask my father-in-law to wait for a while?" ”

Hearing this, the chief eunuch who delivered the decree was slightly stunned, his expression was embarrassed, and he looked hesitant and uneasy.

Looking at his appearance, Mu Ling's heart was puzzled, it was already strange for his father to summon them into the palace early in the morning, and now he was even more anxious and could not be delayed, and he couldn't help but feel even more puzzled.

He opened his mouth and asked the great eunuch, "But what is the urgency of my father to summon us?" If you're not in a hurry, just wait a while and let the princess finish eating before leaving! ”

The eldest eunuch listened, sweat flowed down his face, and his expression was panicked, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and attached himself to Mu Lingzhi's ear, and whispered.

Mu Lingzhi's face changed greatly when he heard this, his eyes turned red instantly, and he hurriedly took Yu Ruyan's hand and explained to her in a low voice: "I guess it's too late, my father is not very good, I'm afraid we should leave quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan was slightly startled, she originally thought that King Liang had summoned them to do something good with her before, but now it seems that her body is really not good.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage that Mu Lingzhi suddenly discovered that Yu Ruyan had a foreknowledge that she would enter the palace, she had dressed up early and prepared everything, and she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart, and asked hesitantly: "You have been prepared for a long time, do you know that you are going to enter the palace today?" ”

Yu Ruyan didn't hide it from him, and said with a bitter smile: "Today is the day when Prince Yi leaves the palace, so"

The next words, she didn't say that Mu Lingzhi also understood. Brother Yi has helped them so much this time, he is leaving now, and he and Yu Ruyan have to think about it

It's just that there are some things that Mu Lingzhi never expected

In the Imperial Palace, King Liang described the withered lying on the dragon bed, guarding the people of the Tai Hospital, and Xiaodao and Yue Yu had also come, guarding the bedside.

Seeing Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan come in, Yue Yu's expression darkened slightly, because of guilt Yu Ruyan, he didn't dare to face her again, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was still early, enter the palace to bid farewell to the emperor, and then quietly leave Daliang.

But unexpectedly, King Liang's condition worsened at this time, not only could he not leave for a while, but King Liang also summoned the knife and Mu Lingzhiyu Ruyan into the palace.

Looking at the description, it seems to be about to tell the future

After entering the hall, Mu Lingzhi came to the bedside worriedly to inquire about King Liang's condition. When King Liang saw them coming in, he waved his hand to let the imperial doctor and all the palace people retreat, and closed the palace door.

The dull sound of the door closing smashed into Yu Ruyan's heart, making her whole body cold!

She stood at the farthest point from King Liang, her eyes were dark, she couldn't see anything, and her heart fell into the eternal night, and she couldn't see a trace of light

King Liang asked Mu Lingzhi to help him sit up, panting, and finally spoke in a weak tone.

He called Yue Yu to his side and said with difficulty: "This time, I want to thank you for finding out so many grievances for the queen and the fifth princess, you have been smart since you were a child, and your heart is as careful as dust, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, but you are extremely low-key, like your mother."

As soon as he talked about the late Queen Zhu, King Liang couldn't get up in one breath, and coughed several times before he spoke.

"If you say you want to feel guilty, there are too many people who feel guilty in my life, and I won't talk about the dead, but among the living, I feel the most guilty about you"

"You are the crown prince of Daliang, and the next king, it is me, I have robbed everything that belongs to you, if I return all this to you today, ---- you are willing to accept it?"

King Liang seemed to have used all his strength to say this, and when he heard it. But it was the other four people present who were shocked.

Xiaodao and Mu Lingzhi were dumbfounded, but Yu Ruyan's heart was filled with deep questions,

Because what King Liang said now is very different from what he said to her before.

She couldn't see with her eyes, and she couldn't see the look on King Liang's face at the moment, so as to guess what King Liang really thought in his heart.

Suddenly, she understood something in her heart, and her whole body shivered, and she was about to find a way to signal Yue Yu to make him firmly reject King Liang's words. But before she could think of a way to speak, King Liang seemed to let Yue Yu have no worries at all, and he had already said to the knife and Mu Ling who were guarding the bedside: "If the father is given the Zen throne to the Wing Prince, will you agree with the father's approach?" Prince, do you agree? ”

King Liang asked Xiaodao directly, and the two brothers really didn't expect King Liang to suddenly make such a decision, and they couldn't figure out what he really thought in his heart, so they stayed on the spot.

Inside the hall, there was a terrible dead silence for a while

Yu Ruyan was so anxious that her palms were sweating, and she shouted to Yue Yu anxiously, don't believe King Liang's words, as long as you agree with a nod of your head, you will definitely not be ordered to leave this hall again.

Remembering what King Liang said to himself here last night, Yu Ruyan had already guessed King Liang's thoughts----

King Liang knew that his life was short. But before he died, there were two things, or rather, two people became the last obstacle in his heart, one was her, and the other was Yue Yu, who had recently emerged in the Great Liang Dynasty!

Yue Yu's return this time was to quickly crack several major cases in the Eastern Capital in a very short period of time. This ability and courage attracted the attention of the ministers of the court and the people of the world, and even more so the attention of King Liang, and also caused hidden dangers in his heart

King Liang was already suspicious, and when he saw Yue Yu come back this time, he did not hide the edge on his body. even agreed to meddle in the affairs of the court, which made King Liang's heart alarmed.

He had reason to wonder if Prince Yi was going to take the opportunity to get back what belonged to him during the chaotic time when he was seriously ill and the queen died?

Therefore, even if he learned that Yue Yu was leaving today, he still couldn't help but test him.

If he has no ambitions, King Liang will send him away and give him a surprise. If he dares to accept it, he will be hacked to death in front of the temple immediately!

And the next moment, Mu Lingzhi and the crown prince, who had reacted, both knelt in front of King Liang and said respectfully: "Erchen respectfully obeys all the decisions of his father!" ”

King Liang nodded with a satisfied chin and raised his hand to let the two brothers get up, and the eyes of the father and son invariably looked at Yue Yu, who had not said a word.

Although Mu Lingzhi was surprised by his father's request for the throne, he still agreed with his father so much, because it had always been in his heart, Mu Yizhi was originally the crown prince, and the throne of Daliang and the country should have belonged to him, and now it is normal to return to his hands.

Although Xiao Dao felt that his father's actions today were very surprised, he would not object to him, who was not very enthusiastic about the throne.

The father and son all looked at Yue Yu, waiting for his answer.

Yue Yu was dressed in snow-white clothes, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, standing quietly in the center of the hall, but his clear eyes were cold----

As smart as him, how can he not know the jealousy of King Liang in his heart.

King Liang could take care of his friendship with Empress Zhu and his guilt towards the emperor, and after learning that he was still alive, not only did he not put him to death, but also forgave him for all kinds of assassination and revenge before.

But if he affects the country he has worked so hard for, he will never allow it!

What King Liang thought in his heart, Yue Yu's heart was clear. He looked at King Liang fixedly, and did not rush to answer his question, but slowly raised his hand. Suddenly, a human skin mask was torn off his face, revealing another face!

Under the mask of human skin, it is the merchant Yue Yu!

Except for the invisible Yu Ruyan, King Liang's father and son were stunned!

Mu Lingzhi was not shocked, but more surprised and surprised----

He already knew that Prince Yi was the giant of the world---- Yue Yu was the head of the Yue family, so when he saw him at this moment, it was not that he was shocked by Yue Yu's identity, but that he was surprised, Prince Yi's face was fake!

He always thought that Yue Yu's face was the human skin mask he wore to hide his true identity, but he didn't expect that his real face was

Xiaodao also knew Yue Yu before, and he also liked the big brother Yue who helped people treat people for free in the Wuwei Medical Center, and was as gentle as jade. However, what he never expected was that the eldest brother Yue he liked was his cousin Prince Yi!

King Liang was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, he sat up straight, looked at Yue Yu in front of him with another face in disbelief, pointed at him tremblingly, and said sharply: "Who are you?" Dare to use a human skin mask to pretend to be the Winged Prince! ”

Yue Yu smiled bitterly, his slightly thin figure was wrapped in the thin morning light that came through the carved window lattice, his face was calm, and his tone was indifferent but with endless sadness----

"I'm Mu Yizhi, but. The fire ten years ago burned my original face to this face, but it took me two years to replace it, and then I met the master who taught me medical skills, not only taught me a medical skill, but also taught me the art of making human skin masks, and the first human skin mask I made was myself."

Speaking of these bitter and painful pasts, Yue Yu's tone has always been very calm, and there is no fluctuation in his voice, as if he is talking about extremely ordinary things, but in Yu Ruyan's ears, they are so shocked that their breath is stagnant----

Everyone knows it. The skin of the body, the parents who receive it, and the appearance of the person's skin are destined to come out of the mother's womb, and if it is damaged and destroyed, it is difficult to restore it. And a person like Yue Yu, whose face is burned, wants to repair it naturally without scars, but in the process of repairing, he has to experience inhuman pain beyond what ordinary people can endure.

Mu Ziyue had already felt that she had endured the most painful torture in the world in order to treat her hair before, but with a makeover like Yue Yu, the torture and pain were even more than Mu Ziyue I don't know how many times

Yu Ruyan clearly remembers that when she was a child, she saw the master helping people change their faces, and the screams of grief to fear still make her tremble all over her when she recalls it

For a long time, outsiders have thought of Yue Yu in the accident ten years ago, losing his relatives and everything that originally belonged to him, and enduring the hatred and pain of the country and family, but no one knows how he spent the past ten years worse than death

When he received one of Mu Ling's swords, he fell into the sea of fire and burned beyond recognition.

After escaping death, he survived with monstrous hatred and incognito. On the other hand, he had to endure the physical devastation brought to him by the sword that could kill him, and in those two years. The purgatory-like pain of torture endured while modifying a disfigured face

The four of them were so shocked that they couldn't speak, but Yue Yu smiled slowly without care, and laughed at himself with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, do you think that my appearance now can be regarded as Mu Yizhi?" The way I am now, can I still be the king of the Great Liang again? ”

It was only at this moment that King Liang completely felt the vibration, his lips twitched hard, his face changed greatly, and his expression was full of guilt.

In the end, he finally lowered his head, with endless guilt in his voice, and said tremblingly: "Yizhi, it's me and the emperor's uncle I'm sorry for you!" ”

Hearing this, the four people in the hall were stunned!

Over the years, King Liang is very taboo for others to mention in front of him ten years ago, and he has never admitted the wrong things he did in front of people, even in the past ten years, he has never come out of the pain of Queen Zhu's suicide in front of him, in front of people, he is a family without regrets, until today, listening to Yue Yu talk about these pasts lightly, he can no longer help but say the regret and guilt buried in his heart for many years!

"I'm sorry Rong'er. I'm sorry for the royal brother, and I'm sorry for you."

Once the emotions that had been buried hard in his heart were touched, King Liang was sad in his heart, describing himself as ashamed to the point of shame, and his cloudy eyes flashed with tears

This voice of 'I'm sorry' made Yue Yu's heart inexplicably sour, he gritted his teeth to stop the churning in his heart, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "In the past ten years, there is only hatred in my life, and I am unwilling to live unwillingly, and the world is gloomy."

"For revenge, I missed out on too many good things in the world. I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life, I want ---- let go of hatred and live for myself. ”

"Therefore, there is no longer Mu Yizhi in this world who has a hatred for the country and a family feud, only Yue Yu, a businessman who does small business."

After speaking, he bowed straight to King Liang and said solemnly: "The grass people Yue Yu specially came to bid farewell to His Majesty today." Say goodbye today, never see each other again! ”

His words were decisive, and without waiting for King Liang to reply, he was already walking out.

However, Yu Ruyan stopped with King Liang in the same voice.

Yu Ruyan's voice trembled: "Brother Yue, please wait!" ”

Hearing this, Yue Yu, who was able to walk to the door, stopped and looked back at her hesitantly.

But seeing Yu Ruyan open her hands, she groped towards him, and said, "Brother Yue, please take me with you!" ”
