After all, the Prince Regent was a martial artist. After being knocked out by the candlestick, he still woke up.
He touched the back of his head and sat up with a breath of air, with an ugly expression on his face. At this time, most of his drinking was gone because of the pain, but he still didn't remember who beat him. He only remembered that he came to Murong Xiu's palace and wanted to invite him to watch the fireworks, but Murong Xiu's words were too unpleasant. , he seems to have made a move on Murong Xiu...
Murong Xiu seemed to have scolded him.
The regent didn't think about it, so he stopped thinking about it, and glanced at the person sitting next to him, but at this glance, the regent was stunned.
"you… "
The face of the person in front of him was full of scratches, the blood smeared the face, the front of his clothes was stained with blood, and in his hand he was holding a golden hairpin that was still dripping blood.
If it weren't for the clothes on the other party's body that he was familiar with, the Prince Regent would hardly recognize the bloody man in front of him as Murong Xiu, who was immortal and jade. He immediately snatched the golden hairpin from the opponent's hand and said angrily, "Murong Xiu, are you crazy?"
Murong Xiu rolled his eyes dully before setting his eyes on the Prince Regent's face.
"I'm not crazy." His voice was hoarse, like it was squeezed out of his teeth.
The prince regent was so angry that he almost didn't know what to say, he threw the golden hairpin to the ground. The golden hairpin fell to the ground and its head and tail were disconnected. This scene fell into Murong Xiu's eyes. He bit his lower lip and then grinned.
The wounds on his face, coupled with this smile, can't be more scary.
When the Prince Regent saw this, he felt anxious and aching in his heart. He stepped forward and hugged Murong Xiu. As he walked out, he shouted loudly, "Someone! Pass the imperial doctor."
"The First Minister of Ming Dynasty"
When Murong Xiu was carried out of the palace, he looked back.
No one knew what he was looking at.
…
Murong Xiu's face was disfigured. Even if the Prince Regent almost killed the entire Imperial Medical Bureau, Murong Xiu's face could not be saved.
For the first time, the Prince Regent felt powerless. He looked at Murong Xiu in front of him and cursed angrily, "Murong Xiu, are you crazy? Do you need to destroy your own face?"
Murong Xiu's face was covered with bandages, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.
Those eyes are as moist as autumn water, with long eyelashes as feathers, they are truly beautiful eyes, but those eyes are now foggy and have no brilliance at all.
"You forced me." Murong Xiu said softly, "The descendants of the Murong family can never be playthings."
Hearing the words, the regent's hand in his sleeve trembled slightly.
Murong Xiuzhen should hate him so much that he would rather destroy his face than reject him.
He closed his eyes, and his emotions were complicated. At this moment, Murong Xiu had become a jade in his heart. Now that the jade was broken, he tried his best to piece it together, but he couldn't erase the cracks in the jade.
It was the first time that the Regent was defeated by Murong Xiu.
Murong Xiu's determination stung him and made him not dare to approach.
In the next two months when Murong Xiu was recovering from his injury, the Prince Regent did not come to see Murong Xiu in private. The scar on Murong Xiu's face could not be removed, but he still saved his life. The Prince Regent also ordered a skilled craftsman to create an exquisite mask. When the mask was delivered to Murong Xiu, Murong Xiu just glanced at it and said calmly, "Why do I wear a mask?"
Liang Rong replied embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, this is from the Prince Regent. He said it was a birthday present for His Majesty."
Hearing this, Murong Xiu picked up the delicate mask. The mask is golden with dragon patterns embroidered on it. He put the mask over his face and found it fit his face shape perfectly. When Liang Rong saw Murong Xiu trying it on, he hurriedly gave a pleasing smile, "This mask is really good-looking, and it is very suitable for Your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Murong Xiu slam his mask to the ground.
The mask wasn't broken, so Murong Xiu stood up and stomped on the mask. After Liang Rong reacted, he hurriedly rushed up, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This mask was carefully crafted and took a lot of effort."
Shen Jue, who had been standing quietly behind Murong Xiu, also spoke up, "Your Majesty, don't step on it, you hurt your foot carefully. If you don't like this mask, then let Director Liang go back."
Hearing Shen Jue's words, Murong Xiu's step on the mask suddenly stopped. He moved his feet and smiled, "You're right." With her beautiful eyes turning, she stared at Liang Rong firmly, "Liang Rong, you return this thing to the regent, my birthday has passed, so I don't need it. What gift did he bring?"
Murong Xiu's original face made people unable to look away, but now this face makes people dare not look at it.
Liang Rong was considered bold, but he didn't dare to look directly at Murong Xiu's face. It could be said that Murong Xiu's face was no different from Yaksha.
"Yes, the servant knows." Liang Rong glanced at Murong Xiu and lowered his head quickly. He quickly picked up the mask on the ground and exited the palace.
When Murong Xiu saw him leave, the smile on his face faded. He turned his head to look at Shen Jue, "Shen Jue, am I ugly now?"
Seeing this, Shen Jue stepped forward gently, and smiled gently at Murong Xiu, "No matter what your majesty becomes, in the eyes of the servants, your majesty is the real son of the dragon, so why should a monarch care about his appearance, and the prince regent doesn't care about his appearance now? It's a good thing to dare to get close to Your Majesty."
Murong Xiu thought of the Prince Regent, and nodded, "Indeed, everyone in the world is vulgar, and they only judge people by their looks."
Shen Jue continued: "However, His Majesty can't relax now, but take the opportunity to cultivate his own power. Only without him can His Majesty be a real emperor."
Murong Xiu looked at him with a look of frustration in his eyes, "It's not like you don't know that now the court and the court are all people of the regent. If I want to cultivate my own power, it's easier said than done?"
"Your Majesty, it is about to open Enke, why don't you choose a group of outstanding people here? What's more, the Regent is a domineering person. Although there are vassals in the court, there are also high-spirited people, and those people will naturally serve Your Majesty. "Shen Jue said.
Murong Xiu's frowning brows gradually loosened, "You're right, Enke will be opened soon, this is a good opportunity."
…
Since Murong Xiu's disfigurement, his whole person has gradually changed. In the past, he hated people looking at him, especially the kind of person who wanted to keep his eyes glued to his face, but now, if someone dared not look at him, he felt that this person must be afraid of his appearance, and he was even more angry. Murong Xiu gradually became cloudy and uncertain, and he punished the palace servants around him at every turn.
Liang Rong, as the chief eunuch serving by his side, was punished the most. Murong Xiu now punishes people, especially in the face, where people take bamboo slices soaked in water and hit them in the face until the cheeks bleed.
Liang Rong was so miserable that he had to sneak up to the regent.
"My lord, save the slave, the slave is afraid that he will not live long." Liang Rong burst into tears and snot. With his tall, swollen face, it was really ugly. Because his cheeks were swollen, his speech was slurred.
Seeing that his snot fell on his lips from crying, the prince regent frowned, a little disgusted, "What's wrong?"
Liang Rong burst into tears and said pitifully, "Your Majesty hates the servant now. Since the servant gave His Majesty that mask, His Majesty has always punished the servant. Sometimes the servant did not make a mistake, but His Majesty wanted to punish the servant. , Although the servant is the head of the eunuch, he is actually no better than the little eunuch who has just entered the palace. Now everyone dares to step on the servant. It doesn't matter if the servant is miserable, but the servant is still the prince's person. Those people are even the prince's face now. No more."
The Prince Regent was amused when he heard these words, "Then what do you want this Prince to do?"
Liang Rong pulled out an ugly smile, "The slave doesn't dare to hope, I just ask the prince to save the slave's life."
"You also know that you are a dog's life." The prince regent sarcastically said, "This king never raises useless dogs. If you are so useless, you should reincarnate as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xu immediately pulled out the knife from his waist.
Seeing this, Liang Rong hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness, spare your life, this servant is useful! It's useful!" He watched Yangxu getting closer and closer to him, and a lot of things flashed through his mind. When Yangxu walked up to him, he suddenly shouted, "My lord, this must have something to do with Shen Jue!"
When the Prince Regent heard Shen Jue's name, he hummed softly.
Yang Xu looked at Liang Rong coldly, and if his next words were useless, he would slash him with a knife.
Liang Rong was threatened with death, but he was much smarter than before, "The day Your Majesty was injured, Shen Jue served by His Majesty's side, but when the imperial doctor came, Shen Jue disappeared. He asked people to see where Shen Jue was, but it turned out that Shen Jue was not in his residence. Moreover, His Majesty listened to Shen Jue’s words very much, and often let Shen Jue serve by his side, and did not let others be there. The servant thought that His Majesty must have been sent Jue is confused."
"Shen Jue?" The Prince Regent said these two words softly, "Which day was he?"
He couldn't remember who hit him on the head, but it didn't seem to be Murong Xiu. After that, Murong Xiu was injured. All his thoughts were on Murong Xiu, but he ignored it.
It seems that the night was not easy.
The Prince Regent raised the corners of his lips, revealing a grim smile.
…
As soon as Shen Jue returned to his residence, he saw Dao Zhan and Yangxu.
Dao Zhan lost his smile today and looked at him coldly. Shen Jue paused for a moment, then smiled, "Why are you two here?"
Dao Zhan took out a delicate dagger from his sleeve, and the light of the knife flashed through Shen Jue's eyes.
"We have come to ask the little father-in-law some things at the order of the prince, and we hope that the little father-in-law knows everything and says everything."
He said warmly, at the end, licked the dagger in his hand with the tip of his tongue.
Shen Jue heard the words, and the smile on his face deepened, "Okay."
He didn't think he could hide the regent from the things he did.
It's only a matter of time before the other party comes to the door, but it's just too late.
It seems that the regent really cares and is confused.
