Chapter 200 Beauty sleep is important!

"King Nanling, how about we go back and rest first?"

"Yes, it's getting late now..."

The palace maids and eunuchs spoke tentatively.

Mu Nanzhou had never been chased away like this before, but if he didn't leave, it would seem like he was really shameless. What's more, what he just said was indeed a bit too much. For the first time in his life, he swallowed his anger, turned around and left.

The palace ladies and eunuchs looked at each other in bewilderment.

Bang.

Xu Yanyi closed the door with a cold face.

The palace maids and eunuchs exchanged glances with each other and began to gossip in low voices.

Xu Yanyi drank three glasses of water in a row to make herself less angry. She lowered her head and continued to study the painting. At first glance, the painting seemed to be fine, but now she calmed down and looked at it carefully. The more she looked, the more Xu Yanyi felt something was wrong.

"Why does the direction of this mountain range feel wrong?"

Xu Yanyi's fingers slid slowly and vaguely across the painting.

According to the book, the direction of a mountain range is determined by the overall or approximately known direction in which it extends on the surface of the earth. Emperor Taizong painted a scene of thousands of horses galloping, but behind the horses there was a long mountain range that set off the entire painting. It was the famous Ruofeng Mountain in Northern Qin. According to her previous memory, the mountain range in the painting was somewhat different from the Ruofeng Mountain she knew.

Did Emperor Taizong draw it wrong, or did he do it on purpose?

Xu Yanyi was more inclined to the latter. Other people might make mistakes in their paintings, but Emperor Taizong had first-rate painting skills and was very particular about painting. He once stayed up all night to paint a rock that was a tribute from southern Xinjiang, and he still did not miss the morning court the next day.

With such attention to detail, it shouldn't be a mistake.

"If it's not a mistake, then it's intentional. The direction of this mountain range doesn't match Ruofeng Mountain, unless this is not Ruofeng Mountain."

Xu Yanyi frowned deeply, she recalled the scaled-down painting of thousands of horses galloping that she had seen at Wang's house. At that time, she thought they looked the same at first glance, but now that she thought about it carefully, the mountain range in that painting was indeed Ruofeng Mountain.

This one is not!

"Did he draw this to tell the princess that the things he left behind are there? Then if this place is not Ruofeng Mountain, where else could it be?" Xu Yanyi frowned in confusion, unable to figure it out for a moment.

Xu Yanyi yawned unconsciously, she rubbed her eyes and put the scroll away. If she couldn't figure it out, she would put it aside for now and get some beauty sleep.

*"Sir, it's cold at night, you should wear more clothes."

Lin Mo, the trusted secret guard, put the cloak on Master Yue and looked around with some fear. In this dark and desolate mountain and wilderness, his master was still staring at his empty grave. He really had no idea what he was looking at.

Lin Mo always felt uneasy after traveling all the way here to stare at this empty tomb.

"It's not cold. If I had really been lying here three years ago, I would have turned into a pile of bones by now." Master Yue squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the tombstone, saying sarcastically, "There's not even a name on the tombstone. I'm afraid that my life will be unknown to anyone like this piece of yellow earth."

"Sir, are you okay?"

Lin Mo looked at him with some concern.

Master Yue covered his mouth and coughed several times, then slowly took off the mask. Lin Mo couldn't see him because he had his back to him, but if someone stood in front of him, they would be able to see his face, which was full of scars and looked very scary.

"It's nothing. It's where I was buried after all. I just came here to take a look today."

Master Yue squatted down and reached out to dig up a piece of soil in front of the tomb. An old box was dug out. He picked it up. Lin Mo couldn't help asking: "Master, what is this?"

“Some of the old things I put there before are useless.”

Master Yue took the box and climbed onto the horse's back. Lin Mo followed behind him. He felt that Master Yue was worried today, but he didn't dare to ask.

There was a thatched cottage not far ahead. Master Yue dismounted and went in, and Lin Mo followed him in.

The thatched cottage looked small, but it had two rooms. Master Yue told Lin Mo, "Go and have a rest. We'll leave tomorrow."

"Sir, let me help you..."

Lin Mo was just about to go over and help make the bed, but Master Yue had already entered the room and closed the door.

Master Yue sat down in front of a brass mirror. His scarred face was reflected in the mirror. He sneered, took out a small bottle from his sleeve, gently poured the powder on the palm of his hand, and rubbed it on the scars on his face.

Click.

He tore off the scar on Master Yue's face bit by bit.

After a moment, the horrific scar on Master Yue's face had disappeared without a trace, and the appearance in the mirror was exactly the same as Mu Nanzhou's, except that Master Yue's complexion was much worse than Mu Nanzhou's. And if you compare the two people's appearance, Master Yue is more delicate, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is stunning.

*"ah--"

Mu Nanzhou finally fell asleep, but was awakened by a nightmare in just a moment.

It was already dawning outside.

"My Lord, are you okay?"

The eunuch on night watch heard Mu Nanzhou's voice and couldn't help but knock on the door and stick his head in, looking nervous.

Mu Nanzhou slowed down and shook his head: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare."

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at the mirror beside him. For some reason, he inexplicably recalled a face that should have been very familiar to him but was gradually becoming unfamiliar.

With a tense heart, Mu Nanzhou stood up and put on his coat, saying coldly: "Go out, I'm fine."

The eunuch quickly responded and left, closing the door behind him.

Mu Nanzhou stared at his own face while looking at the name, and seemed to remember something in a trance.

Suddenly, Mu Nanzhou shuddered all over and punched the mirror.

Boom!

The mirror shattered directly, and the broken mirror pieces cut and injured his fist. Blood dripped down, but Mu Nanzhou seemed to feel nothing. He just thought of that face, the face he hadn't seen for a long time...

"Cousin! What's wrong with you?"

Li Qiuer happened to come out of the Imperial Hospital at this time. She had been trapped in the hospital for a whole night and had to receive acupuncture and take medicine. Now that she was finally able to leave the hospital, she naturally would not leave the palace and go back by herself. She had to see Mu Nanzhou no matter what.

For this, Li Qiuer secretly gave her jade bracelet to the nanny who led the way. The nanny then reluctantly brought her to find Mu Nanzhou, and urged her to hurry up and leave before dawn.

As soon as Li Qiuer opened the door, she saw Mu Nanzhou smashing the mirror with one punch.

She was so scared that she rushed over and hugged his hand: "Someone, someone, King Nanling is injured!"
