Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the mask in his hand, still remembering that when that woman became the Poison King, the Poison King was just a small character in the world.
Once, the woman took him out of the palace wearing this mask and came to a place called "Feiyun Pavilion".
There were poison masters and pharmacists from all over the place competing in their poison skills.
The woman was full of confidence, but she failed. When she returned to the palace, he just raised his hand to pull her clothes to comfort her, but she turned around and fed the poison she had just made into his mouth.
inside.
So after inheriting this mask, the first thing he did was... to come to Feiyun Pavilion and defeat all the pharmacists and poison masters in Feiyun Pavilion.
He became famous in one battle, and the name "Poison King" became famous from then on.
He thought he would be very happy after defeating her in disguise, but he didn't expect that that day, he stood in front of her grave and didn't say a word for a long time.
Thinking of this, he suddenly didn't want to remember it anymore, frowned, simply put on his mask and went to find the prince.
The prince was impatient waiting for the Poison King. When he was wondering if this was someone's prank, he heard his subordinate report, "Your Highness, the Poison King is here!"
The prince's eyes immediately lit up, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Lord Poison King is finally here. I have been waiting here for a long time."
Lin Zhi said "hmm" and lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes. He didn't want to talk to him anymore. He just raised his hand and asked him, "What's the disease?"
The prince was embarrassed, admitting himself in front of others... was really too embarrassing.
Just for the sake of treatment, he finally went out of his way to tell the truth about his illness.
After he finished speaking, he wanted to raise his eyes to see the Poison King's emotions, but unfortunately the Poison King was wearing a mask and his eyelids were drooping, so he could not detect any of his emotions.
The fact is that there was no expression on Lin Zhi's face. He raised his hand and said, "Pulse."
The prince quickly handed over his wrist. After Lin Zhi held it carefully for a while, the prince asked, "Can it still be cured?"
"It can be cured."
Long before he came here, he had already thought about how to treat it. Everything he came here was just a formality.
The prince immediately became overjoyed, and Lin Zhi said again, "The medical expenses are one hundred thousand taels of gold."
"This..." The prince hesitated and said, one hundred thousand taels of gold is not a small amount at any time, and now that King Ning is eyeing him, he...
Before he could say any words of rejection, Lin Zhi turned around to leave. The prince quickly said, "One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. Sir, can you treat the disease first, and I will take my time here..."
"No, we will treat the disease when it is ready."
After Lin Zhi finished speaking, he was about to leave. The prince wanted to have someone stop him, but he remembered that the Poison King was extremely poisonous and was not easy to stop, so he could only ask behind him, "What will I do after I prepare the plans?"
Contact you?"
"I will contact you when you are ready." Lin Zhi only said one sentence, then turned and left.
Seeing that Lin Zhi was about to turn around and leave, the prince quickly gave the person next to him a wink, and the other person immediately understood. Shortly after Lin Zhi left, he directly used Qinggong and chased after him.
After the man caught up with him, he couldn't help but frown and lower his head. He couldn't help but think, did the back of the Poison King look familiar just now?
It's just that he tried hard to think for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't figure out who he resembled.
…
Lin Zhi felt the "tail" behind him almost as soon as he went out, so he walked back to the inn on another road and then hid his figure.
As expected, the man followed and began to wonder. He looked around to find where the Poison King was. However, when he reached a corner, he was suddenly choked by someone...
The man strangled his neck with one hand and held the Poison King mask in the other hand. He suddenly realized something and turned his head to look at the Poison King's face.
Then, he saw a familiar face. The most terrifying thing was that that face was looking at him with a smile but not a smile...
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Before the words "spare my life" could even be fully uttered, Lin Zhi had already broken his neck, and then sprinkled powder on him in disgust. In an instant, the entire corpse turned into a pool of blood.
He remembered that Shen Shu was still at the inn, so he turned around and was about to go back, but suddenly he felt water drops falling on him.
He raised his head again, and a drop of water happened to fall into his eyes again. He closed his eyes and opened them again.
Tsk, it turns out it’s raining.
He didn't care and just continued walking back slowly.
…
Shen Shu woke up in the middle of the night.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she subconsciously touched her side, only to find that the person who was supposed to be sleeping next to her had disappeared. She subconsciously got up to look for him.
We were in an inn, and she was embarrassed to be too loud, so she could only go next door to look for Chang Lan, but found that Chang Lan was not there either, so she had to go and get clothes approved and wait at the door of the inn.
The spring night in the south of the Yangtze River was still a bit cold. She couldn't help but wrap up her clothes tightly and look into the distance, but she still couldn't see Lin Zhi and Chang Lan.
She was afraid that Lin Zhi would be cold, so she pursed her lips and was about to go outside to look for him. After taking two steps, she found a small patch of wetness on the ground.
It turned out to be raining...
She was even more worried, so she went back to the house to find an umbrella, and hurried out.
…
Lin Zhi looked at the wet ground in front of him, feeling the coldness falling from the sky, and suddenly thought of the past again.
That day, the palace maid didn't take good care of his younger brother, so he was burned and cried heartbrokenly. He panicked and went to find medicine to give his brother some medicine.
But it happened that the woman was angry with the queen and returned to the palace angrily. When she saw her brother crying, she thought he had bullied her brother, so she dragged him out of the door and closed the door.
It was raining heavily outside at that time, it was cold and wet, and he was soaked to the skin in an instant. He cried desperately and went to pat the door.
But he didn't expect that the woman didn't even look at him. She only turned her head and paid close attention to her precious little son.
He didn't understand what it meant at the time, and he didn't understand why she treated him so differently from her brother, both of whom were sons. It wasn't until a long, long time later that he understood.
It turns out that the younger brother is the child of that woman and her sweetheart.
After knowing this, he never called the child "brother" again.
Lin Zhi carefully felt the coolness brought by the raindrops falling on his face, and continued to walk forward step by step.
Later, he let the woman watch his favorite son die tragically in front of her.
She cried heartbreakingly, while he stood aside and laughed.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Shen Shu searched outside for a long time but couldn't find Lin Zhi. Then she remembered that there was a secret passage in the inn. She was about to turn around to check the secret passage when she saw Lin Zhi in the distance. Wearing a red dress, he walked slowly.
She rushed over in a hurry and held the umbrella over Lin Zhi's head. She noticed that Lin Zhi's face was already wet with rain, so she raised her arm to wipe his face with her sleeves.
Lin Zhi's body was very cold, and Shen Shu hurriedly said, "Go inside first and change out of these clothes. I'll warm you up later."
Only then did Lin Zhi come back to his senses. He frowned and looked at Shen Shu's expression, trying to find some blame or anger in it. After all, after he came into the house in the rain that day, the woman disliked him. It was all rain, and he was so disgusted that he just threw him to the servants.
However, Shen Shu's face was clean, and at most he could see a bit of tenderness and concern, but no other emotions.
Only then did he suddenly realize that she and that woman were two completely different people.
