Lu Zheng found an excuse to send An Cui away. He no longer hid his disgust and disgust for Hua Yuan, and his entire body was filled with wariness.
Ever since Lv Zheng found out that Hua Yuan had lost his mind, he had secretly read up on many related medical skills and unofficial history stories. Combining his own judgment and his observation of Hua Yuan, Lv Zheng felt that Hua Yuan was not only mentally ill, but also very dangerous. He should not be casually approached.
Lu Zheng had once gone to Hua Yuan with a sword in hand, but Hua Yuan kept saying that he was Liu Xi, the Duke of Lanting.
At first, Lu Zheng thought it was ridiculous, but after a period of close observation, he shuddered.
When an ordinary person fell ill, they would at most go crazy and ramble nonsense, saying who they were, as if they were possessed by a spirit.
However, Hua Yuan's insanity was more serious than what Lu Zheng knew. He did not ramble or go crazy. Instead, his speech was sharp, and his thoughts were clear. Lu Zheng boldly probed and discovered that every time Hua Yuan fell ill, he would assume a different identity. For example, Hua Yuan's brother, Hua Yuan's wife, his wife's lover, Ge Lin, Liu Xi … He had never even heard of some of them. They all appeared at different times.
At first, Lu Zheng thought that he was possessed by a spirit, but when Hua Yuan said that he was "Liu Xi," Lu Zheng knew that the other had gone completely crazy. He seemed clear-headed and rational, but he was actually so crazy that he had lost his sense of self. He had truly imagined himself to be someone else.
Because of this, Lu Zheng could not understand his lord's decision.
Why would he use a madman who had lost his mind and let this madman teach the young master?
Even though the young master was An Cui's adopted child from a side branch and not his own, An Cui had injured his body during his early years in exile. It was impossible for him to have children of his own. If there were no accidents, this young master who had been adopted would be the future heir. An Cui should treat him seriously.
Lu Zheng's thoughts were complicated and tangled. He could not figure out the crux of the matter.
Before he could solve these puzzles, he discovered something even more horrifying. It was as terrifying as seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
One day, he received a letter asking for help from Hua Yuan.
There was no mistaking it. It was indeed a letter from Hua Yuan asking for help. The letter was stained with the fragrance of rouge, and the handwriting was extremely gentle. It was obvious that it was written by a woman at a glance. The signature was even more confusing. It was actually written by Hua Yuan's sister-in-law, and every word was filled with tears.
Lu Zheng could not hold back his curiosity and activated it. In private, he met Hua Yuan, who was full of femininity.
"You wrote this letter to me? Why did you call for help? "
Hua Yuan used her sleeve to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes. She had a feminine look on her face, and her sitting posture was like a pretty daughter from a humble family. Lu Zheng was not used to seeing this. The man lowered his voice, making it sound a little shrill. He even gave Lv Zheng a standard female salute.
The moment Hua Yuan spoke, Lu Zheng knew that something was wrong.
"My surname is Wei, and my husband's surname is Hua. I married Hua Yuan a few years ago and gave birth to his children. Even if I didn't make any contributions, I still worked hard. Who would have thought that Hua Yuan would go crazy and attack me and my children when the Nanman people were attacking the city? I'm really wronged."
Hua Yuan started crying as he spoke. Lu Zheng looked carefully at his actions and expression. He looked like a woman from an aristocratic family who had suffered a lot.
Lu Zheng had investigated Hua Yuan and knew that his wife's surname was Wei. They had a son and a daughter.
However, he heard that Hua Yuan's wife was dissolute and often took advantage of Hua Yuan's illness to find a lover to spend the night with.
Therefore, it was still a question mark as to who the biological father of this pair of children was.
Lu Zheng finally understood that Hua Yuan's illness was acting up again. Was he imagining that he was the wife who had been killed by him?
"Why are you looking for me? You said that someone wants to kill you. What's going on? "
Lu Zheng's heart was especially strong, and his ability to accept things had also increased several times.
The person who claimed to be Hua Yuan's wife was crying. Her face was filled with endless horror. She trembled and said, "That person is Liu Xi!"
Lu Zheng: "…"
"Military Advisor Lu, you must save me. I found out that the man was standing behind me with a saber in his hand …"
Lu Zheng shuddered involuntarily. He resisted the nausea and pulled his hand back. When Hua Yuan grabbed him with both hands, he realized that the other party's palms were covered in sticky and cold sweat. The feeling was so disgusting that the hair on his arms stood on end.
"Madam Wei, it's broad daylight. Don't scare people."
There was no one behind Hua Yuan. It was empty, not to mention the knife-wielding "Liu Xi".
Did people who had lost their minds all behave like this when their illness acted up?
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Yuan's body suddenly convulsed. He let out a scream of pain that sounded like he was on the verge of death. It was loud and sharp, and Lu Zheng was so frightened that his whole body trembled. Lu Zheng could not help but raise his hand to touch his chest. Hua Yuan, who was sitting opposite him, returned to his usual cold and sharp self.
"Hua Yuan, do you really not need to see a doctor to look at your brain?"
Lu Zheng suggested sincerely. Hua Yuan, who had come online, snorted coldly and strode away with a wave of his sleeve.
Two days later, Lu Zheng received another letter asking for help from Hua Yuan. It was signed by a name that was not unfamiliar to him.
Hua Yuan was one of his wife's lovers. He was suspected to be the biological father of their two children.
"So what if your illness is acting up. Is there a need to imagine that you're the lover of your wife who cheated on you?"
Lu Zheng scratched his hair anxiously. He sighed and went to meet up with Hua Yuan.
Once again, he saw Hua Yuan kneeling by his feet, crying and hugging his legs. His face was smeared with snot and tears.
"Why are you looking for me? Could it be that 'Liu Xi' is also here to kill you? "
Lu Zheng was speechless. He felt that if he interacted with Hua Yuan too much, he would become a lunatic sooner or later.
The personality who claimed to be Hua Yuan's wife's lover said in horror and fear, "Yes, how did you know? Please save me. I don't want to die! As long as you save me, I'll immediately ask my servant to give you a thousand taels of silver. No, ten thousand taels will do — "
Lu Zheng looked coldly at Hua Yuan who was crying and throwing a tantrum. His heart was unperturbed and he even felt like laughing.
The other party cried again, "That … that Liu Xi, that lunatic has already killed a few people …"
Lu Zheng was shocked. He asked tentatively, "Who did he kill?"
The other party trembled as he named four to five people. The one who was recently killed was Hua Yuan's wife.
"How did 'Liu Xi' kill you?" Lu Zheng asked curiously.
The other party said, "I saw it with my own eyes. That lunatic killed people and ate them alive — ate —"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party let out a shrill scream. He looked like a dying man with his goldfish eyes wide open.
Lu Zheng's hair stood on end as he listened to Hua Yuan.
After a while, he saw Hua Yuan, who was lying on the ground, slowly get up and return to his familiar cold self.
"Wait!!" Lu Zheng stopped him this time. "I know you're crazy, but … what's with 'Liu Xi' killing people?"
