After the servant saluted and exited the attic, Fu Yi said to Mu Zhiming with a face full of regret: "Jian was suddenly called into the palace by the emperor, and he can't come to the appointment. It seems that today, it is only you and me who are talking about the wind by the water. Express your worries."
Mu Zhiming asked coldly: "His Royal Highness Su, did you really invite His Highness Xian Wang?"
Fu Yi smiled: "Li Zhu, don't you believe me?"
Mu Zhiming: "I just won't be deceived by you again."
Fu Yi: "But you know that there are tigers in the mountains, so you still came to the appointment today, didn't you?"
Mu Zhiming's hands on the table curled up and slowly clenched them into fists.
Fu Yi smiled: "Li Zhu, I know you, you are too easy to be soft-hearted, you clearly have grudges against me, but when I try my best to help you rescue General Gu, you will be willing to go to the banquet alone, but there are I am very curious about this matter, when you knelt down and begged me that day, why did you say that General Gu died, which was good for me?"
Mu Zhiming said bluntly: "Because you colluded with other races, as long as He Yan died, the Xirong clan's iron cavalry invaded the Great Jin, the external troubles and internal turmoil, and the turmoil of the family and country, for you, it is a good wind relying on strength."
The prince's collusion with other races is a death sentence condemned through the ages. Facing Mu Zhiming's accusation, Fu Yi did not get angry but smiled. The spout fell into the porcelain cup, and gradually filled the wine glass with a little splash on the table.
Fu Yi filled the wine, raised his glass and looked at Mu Zhiming with a clear intention.
Mu Zhiming stood still: "His Royal Highness King Su, even if I anger you today, I will never drink alcohol."
Fu Yi didn't persuade him, he drank the wine in one go, then played with the empty porcelain cup in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Li Zhu, you are not chasing the wind, tell me, where did I show my flaws?"
Mu Zhiming: "Back then, when you patrolled the frontier, from the northeast to the northwest, I was already suspicious. If you didn't think about it, why would you do such a thankless thing? Later, I sent an envoy to Gouji, Burigudetianhan. Said that I had seen a Dajin prince talking to his clansmen at the border, and I immediately confirmed my guess."
Fu Yi nodded thoughtfully: "I see." He smiled and put down the wine glass, "Li Zhu, both you and I suffered from the persecution of the defunct prince Fu Qi in the past, but now we have wasted two lives, and we are fortunate to be in this life. The prince has been brought down, if you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer you truthfully."
Mu Zhiming's eyes sank. He stared at Fu Yi, but saw that he was calm, as if he was not worried that Mu Zhiming would ask questions he did not want to answer. Mu Zhiming took a deep breath and said sharply: "In the past life, the person who forged the evidence of my father's alliance with King Xian and hid it in the Mufu study, is it you?"
Fu Yi raised his eyes and said only one word: "Yes."
There was silence in the attic for a moment, and the spring breeze passed through the hall, bringing the dampness and coldness unique to Chunhan, cruelly taking away the warmth of Mu Zhiming's body.
Although Mu Zhiming already had the answer in his heart, but now hearing Fu Yi's own admission, he still felt that his stomach was being stirred and tossed by an icy iron rod and then shrunk into a ball due to the pain, which made his throat feel disgusting and bitter.
Time has passed, hatred or hatred, and the despair that was so painful that he wanted Fu Yi to die for his life, now there are only three words left, and it is not worth it.
Fu Yi glanced at Mu Zhiming, and regardless of whether Mu Zhiming was listening, he continued to say to himself: "Actually, my original intention was not to ruin your family. I just wanted to borrow the prince's hand to let Fu Ji'an eat for a while. Don't get in my way with the hardships of prison in Japan. In the future, when I become emperor, it will be easy to vindicate the case of King Yan's conspiracy and redress the injustice of the Mu family, but I didn't expect the empress and Fu Qi to be so cruel and ruthless. , not only directly behead Yan Guogong in prison, but also forced Fu Ji'an to drink poison, and I said before that I will pick you up in exile, which is really not a lie..."
A sound of pounding the table like a thunderstorm interrupted Fu Yi's words, Mu Zhiming's eyes were blood red, and the words were trembling in an incomprehensible tone: "Shut up, I don't want to hear it, Fu Yi, it's a good thing that Ji'an has always regarded you as a brother, a concubine and a concubine. Treating you as your own, are you worthy of your conscience?!"
Fu Yi refilled the wine and said calmly, "Li Zhu, for a prince, everything in this world is nothing, and only the power in his hand is real, and with power, he can have what he wants. You can only give things to others, and even destroy the high vermilion palace walls; this road is a bloody road full of conspiracy and filth. If you don’t treat others as chess pieces, others will treat you as chess pieces. , Do you think Ji An will not know this truth?"
Mu Zhiming: "Jian knows it, but he still respects you! And you, with a human face and a beast's heart! Kindness will repay revenge!"
Fu Yi suddenly raised his voice, overshadowing Mu Zhiming's insults. He said, "Li Zhu, in this life, I have not sorry for any of you. I could have brought down Fu Ji'an first, as I did in my previous life, but I didn't."
Mu Zhiming was furious: "So the bloody debts of the previous life can be written off in one lump sum?!"
Fu Yi smiled and said, "That's why you've always given me a headache. If you weren't reborn, my life would be much smoother. In the past life, you admired me so much that you even broke the engagement for me, didn't you?"
Mu Zhiming's resentment filled his chest: "Yes, I used to regard you as my elder brother. When you confessed to me in my previous life, I took it seriously. I even thought that if I don't know what it's like to be tempted in my life, then I will accompany you. , I’ve been working as an anonymous aide in Prince Su’s Mansion, and it’s good to drink tea and chat every day, but now, I can’t wait to tear you apart and make you kneel in front of the imperial concubine and kowtow to apologize!!!”
"Really?" Fu Yi said meaningfully, "It would be great if you didn't have the memory of this life..."
Mu Zhiming couldn't bear any of Fu Yi's words anymore, and he didn't want to say a word to him, so he got up and left.
Fu Yi said in a deep voice, "Li Zhu, do you think I would let you go so easily?"
Mu Zhiming took a step.
Fu Yi: "There are dozens of secret servants guarding downstairs, you can't go anywhere."
Mu Zhiming sneered: "Fu Yi, do you think I came to the banquet alone on this trip, will I not leave behind?"
Fu Yi was startled.
At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs, and a secret servant came hurriedly, not forgetting to salute, and then hurriedly said to Fu Yi: "His Royal Highness Su, His Royal Highness Xian Wang is visiting and is coming to the waterside tower."
Fu Yi's eyes were instantly cold and he looked at Mu Zhiming.
Mu Zhiming looked at him without fear.
Fu Yi said to the dark attendant, "Hold on for a while."
The dark attendant had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said close to Fu Yi's ear: "His Royal Highness Su, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. His Highness Xian Wang seems to know that there is a banquet at the Shuixie Tower today, and he said that he was late, so he went straight here, and the servants did not Dare to stop him, you have a secret service organization and you can't reveal it to him, so... "
"Okay." Fu Yi was impatient, "Go on."
Fu Yi looked at Mu Zhiming again: "You called Ji An to tell him everything? Unfortunately, he won't believe you."
Mu Zhiming: "I've mentioned your wolf ambitions once. Indeed, Ji'an doesn't believe it at all, so today, I only want to protect myself. As long as Ji'an is here, you won't dare to kill me. If you insist on doing it, It's okay, it's not a loss to let Ji An see your person clearly with my blood sacrifice."
Fu Yi stood up and walked to Mu Zhiming: "Li Zhu, you guessed something wrong."
Mu Zhiming frowned: "What?"
Fu Yi: "In my life, I really never wanted to kill you."
Mu Zhiming showed an expression of disbelief.
Fu Yi asked again, "Li Zhu, do you still remember the day in your past life, what day is tomorrow?"
How could Mu Zhiming not remember.
Tomorrow is the day when Mu’s house was raided and evidence of treason was found. Before that, he didn’t get any news. The day before, he met friends in Jianghu to enjoy the scenery. Who knows, the day after, he suffered such a blow.
Fu Yi said: "Li Zhu, if you lose the memory of this life today and only keep the memory of the previous life, you will not remember anything after the Mu's house raid, so you can be a rich and idle person who is free from restraint and no worries. I would rather It took ten years to find the prescription of Taoist Master Xuanqing, and he is not willing to take your life, so it is worthy of you."
When he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Mu Zhiming's chin, quickly took out the thin-necked porcelain bottle from his arms, took off the cork with his teeth, and poured the medicine inside into Mu Zhiming's mouth.
Facing the sudden restraint, Mu Zhiming naturally fought desperately to resist, twisted Fu Yi's wrist and tried hard.
Fu Yi was afraid of the medicine spilling, so he had to press the neck of the narrow-neck porcelain bottle with his right thumb, so it was very difficult to hold Mu Zhiming with one hand, which made Mu Zhiming break free once.
Mu Zhiming never thought that Fu Yi would dare to act on him so unabashedly, he ran two steps towards the corridor railing in a daze, and Fu Yi, who was catching up, grabbed his arm and fell to the ground, Mu Zhiming's head was heavy on the back. Knocked on the ground, dizzy in pain, confused for a moment, and when he regained his senses, he found that his body and limbs had been pinned down by Fu Yi.
Fu Yi lifted Mu Zhiming's chin indiscriminately, pinched his cheek and forced him to open his mouth, poured the medicine in the porcelain bottle, and immediately covered Mu Zhiming's mouth to prevent him from spitting out the medicine.
Mu Zhiming coughed, was forced to swallow, shuddered, and continued to struggle unwillingly.
At this moment, Fu Ji'an's voice came from under the attic: "Huh? Why don't you let me go up? You go and tell the emperor, I'm here!"
Fu Yi's expression changed slightly, and he looked up at the stairs.
While Fu Yi was stunned, Mu Zhiming pulled him down with all his strength, staggered to his feet and walked to the railing, looked down and wanted to call Fu Ji'an, but he felt like his stomach was burning, dizzy, and a splitting headache.
Fu Ji'an was waiting anxiously at the bottom of the attic. When he looked up, he saw Mu Zhiming standing on the railing facing the pond on the second floor of the water pavilion, so he shouted, "Brother Mu!"
But immediately Fu Ji'an found out that something was wrong with Mu Zhiming.
Mu Zhiming rested his hands on the railing, and his body was swaying as if he was drunk. He seemed to want to say something to himself, but he didn't make a sound.
Then, Mu Zhiming looked back, suddenly climbed up the railing, and jumped down!
Fu Ji'an broke out in cold sweat: "Brother Mu!"
Hearing a loud thud, Mu Zhiming fell into the pond.
Fu Ji'an ignored the obstruction of the attendant and rushed towards the pond with all his might, followed by another loud thud, and Fu Yi jumped from the attic immediately.
Fu Ji'an also jumped into the pond, and together with Fu Yi, rescued Mu Zhiming to the pond.
Mu Zhiming was unconscious.
Fu Yi had blue veins on the side of his forehead, and shouted to the dumbfounded guard, "Go and invite the doctor!!"
Fu Ji'an touched the water on his face: "Brother Huang, what happened?! Isn't it the third day of the third lunar month for a water banquet?! Why did Brother Mu jump downstairs?!"
Fu Yi looked at Fu Ji'an, his face full of annoyance, but he didn't feel guilty at all, he said.
"It's all my fault. Li Zhu drank too much. He was drunk. I didn't hold him back and fell from the attic."
