On the way out of the capital, Yu Shu had imagined countless scenarios. After she found Yun Hua, she had to find out the secret of him while hiding the fact that she was the Life Breaker. If Yun Hua refused to tell her, she would have to use the relationship between them to impress him.
Who knew that before she could even play her trump card, Yun Hua had already blasted her face full of blood with a golden flower.
It was actually in his hands!?
As expected, he was the eldest disciple taught by that old monster, Qing Zheng. Compared to the ferocity of this eldest disciple, she was really weak, okay?
Watching Yun Hua casually turn over the page of his narrow escape after stealing the treasure, Yu Shu could not imagine the thrill at that time, but she was sure that he had lost too many things because of it.
The identity that was admired by thousands of people, the woman who was infatuated with him, his flesh and blood, and even his voice, were probably destroyed in that accident.
Yu Shu suddenly felt pity for him. She should have paid more attention to the thing in his hands, but when she opened her mouth, she asked an irrelevant question.
"You regret it, don't you?"
Yun Hua sighed, changed another piece of paper, picked up the pen, and wrote —
"My family was separated, my family was ruined, and I implicated the innocent. How can I not regret it?"
Yu Shu thought that the innocent he was referring to must be Princess Luyue, his wife, Han, and his eldest son whose whereabouts were unknown. As for Jing Chen —
"After so many years, you did not dare to recognize Jing Chen. Did you not try to find Han and her son? With your ability, have you not divined their whereabouts? "
Yun Hua felt pain in his eyes. He shook his head gently and wrote —
"At that time, I left Yiyang for the capital. I did not know that my wife was pregnant. I changed my name to Changzhou's Yun Mufeng and entered the capital for a few months. Only after Dayan released the results, I quietly asked someone to send a letter to my hometown, and then I staggered into prison. When I married Luyue, I received a reply from my hometown. In the letter, it was written that my wife, Han, was pregnant and asked me when I would return. I felt very guilty, but I could not tell her the truth, so I could only entrust my distant best friend to take care of my wife and child. "
"What happened next?"
"I entered the Celestial Commissioner's office to discuss matters. On one hand, I began to inquire about what my master had ordered me to find. On the other hand, I also participated in the battle for the throne. He knew that this was dangerous and that he would be killed. That's why I don't even write letters to my hometown, so I have no way of knowing when Madam is about to give birth, or when my child will be born. '
After all, he was a mortal. Even if he could foresee the future, he was still a mortal. How could he predict the affairs of the world? It was laughable that he was so smart and conceited that the people of the world admired him. His name, Yi Zi, was recorded in the Historical Records, yet he could not even protect his own flesh and blood.
"The twelfth year, the eighth month. I divined that I already had a son, and only then did I know that Madame had given birth to a son for me. However, Madame's fate was very dangerous, and I was very worried. At that time, the late Emperor was old and sick in the palace. When it was time to appoint the Crown Prince, after my marriage with Luyue, I naturally supported her brother, the Emperor and the Prince of Xiang. "
As a Yi Zi, he was known as the world's Yi Zi. He was also granted special privileges by the late Emperor, becoming the unprecedented "Celestial Commissioner's Prince Consort". At that time, there were rumors that the late Emperor intended for him to take over the position of the Celestial Commissioner, so several princes eyed him covetously. Since they could not win him over, they deliberately tried to frame him.
"I was afraid that someone would find out about my wife and child in my hometown and use it to threaten me. However, the battle for the crown prince was at a critical juncture, and there were countless spies outside the Prince Consort's mansion, so I did not dare to act rashly. At that time, I had a treasure called 'Zhuge Tong', which had a strange ability to confuse and deceive people. I sent my confidant to secretly send a letter to a friend's mansion, and entrusted him to find someone to send this item to my wife in my hometown, and then send the mother and child elsewhere to settle down. Who would have thought that I was one step too late … At the beginning of the thirteenth year, I divined for Madame's safety as usual, but unexpectedly, I knew that she had already died. "
The ink spread on the paper, and Yun Hua's hand that was holding the brush trembled slightly. Yu Shu could see his deep regret from his reddened eyes, and she could not bear to see him continue writing.
Yun Hua's writing brought her a lot of information, and the rights and wrongs that happened twenty years ago were emerging step by step. She combined the relevant people and events, and already had a speculation.
"Zhuge Tong" was now clearly in the hands of Xin Lishan. The discord between Xin Ya and Xin Lishan, father and son, was most likely because of Yun Hua's entrustment.
Based on her dealings with Xin Lishan these days, she could tell that he was not a treacherous villain, but Xin Ya might not be the same. Then, it was most likely that Yun Hua had sent someone to deliver the treasure to the Xin mansion, but in the end, Xin Ya intercepted it. Xin Lishan only found out afterwards, so in a rage, he had a falling out with his father, and was kicked out of the house. He refused to return for more than ten years.
While she was distracted, a few more paragraphs appeared on the paper in front of her.
"Madame has passed away, and the fate of my child is unknown. I am disheartened, and have already begun to think of retreating. It's funny that on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, I had to force a smile and rush to the palace banquet. After I got drunk, I returned to the Celestial Commissioner, and accidentally entered the Taixi Tower of the Great Tipping Point. From there, I accidentally peeped into the sky above the inner courtyard, and there was a natural phenomenon. I knew that there must be a treasure hidden here. "
He suspected that the thing that his master wanted him to find was hidden there, so he stayed at the Celestial Commissioner for days and nights, using the name of official business to deceive others, and forgot to eat and sleep to calculate the location. Finally, he locked onto a treasure in the Kunling Bureau of the Celestial Commissioner.
Then, he made a thorough plan, and found a good day to hide in the dark. Taking advantage of the night, he burned down the treasure.
As he expected, not long after the Kunling Bureau caught on fire, the Great Tipping Point, who was staying at the Taixi Tower at that time, was alerted. He hurried over and brought people to put out the fire. When the fire was extinguished, and smoke still lingered in the air, the Great Tipping Point could not wait to go in alone to check, and he took advantage of the chaos to follow behind.
His throat was damaged because he hid in the sea of fire for too long.
"When he found the place where the treasure was hidden and took it out, I took action. I poisoned him and knocked him out, and stole the thing that he had on him. It was exactly what I wanted."
After Yu Shu understood what happened, her cruelty towards Yun Hua reached a new high.
She thought to herself, "So that's how it is. Previously, when she predicted Yun Hua's life and death, she predicted that he encountered a fire in the second month of the thirteenth year of Baotai. It turned out that the fire was set by himself."
"Then how did you get away after that?"
The Kunling Bureau caught on fire inexplicably, and it was impossible for no one to notice after that. The Celestial Commissioner and the Supreme Court were not just decorations. Without Zhuge Tong to protect himself, Yun Hua could only leave at that time, because he would definitely die if he stayed.
"On the second day after the incident, the palace ordered the city gates to be sealed, and the people were not allowed to enter or leave. Then, the mansions of dozens of officials under the Celestial Commissioner were put under martial law by the imperial guards, and even the mansion of the emperor's son-in-law was not spared. Who did not return to the mansion on the night of the fire will be found out after a check. But at that time, I had already hidden in the ditch near the city gate. When it rained the next day, I followed the sewage drainage in the city and escaped from the city through the underground. "
"…" This made sense. Xin Ya secretly gave her Yun Hua's birth date and eight characters, saying that he was still alive at the beginning of the thirteenth year of Baotai. She only heard the news of his death four months later.
In fact, Yun Hua set fire to the Kunling Bureau in February, and since then, he disappeared. As the emperor's son-in-law, the emperor's son-in-law, set fire to the Celestial Commissioner, and this scandal was suppressed. Later, Princess Luyue gave birth to Jing Chen in April, and then she passed away.
In order to cover up the truth, it was announced that Princess Luyue had died first, and Yun Hua committed suicide by taking poison for her, creating a sad and beautiful story that was passed down to this day.
Who knew the truth behind the whole incident? It was simply a tragedy.
Yu Shu, out of self-awareness as a woman, could not help but question him, "You just left like that. Have you ever thought about how Princess Luyue and the child in her womb will live in the future?"
There were waves in Yun Hua's eyes.
Luyue … He really did not know whether to love or hate her. As early as when they first met, he knew her feelings, and told her that there was already a good wife in his hometown, but she still insisted on asking the late emperor to appoint a marriage.
He only mentioned the matter of his wife in his hometown to Luyue. After that, he did not believe that what happened to Madam Han and her son had nothing to do with her.
However, this woman died violently after giving birth to his child, burying a lifetime of glory and wealth.
.....
Yu Shu saw that he was silent, and it was not good for her to continue being aggressive. After all, it was not her turn to fight for justice. After listening to the story, the atmosphere was a bit off, and she had to cough to break the silence.
"Since you have told me so much, I will tell you the truth. In fact, Big Brother and I accompanied Jing Chen to An Xian not only to visit the Princess' grave, but also to find your whereabouts. Yesterday, when we met Zhao Xiaozhu in the An Xian restaurant, we suspected that it was Mister's doing, so we beat him at his own game. I think only Mister has the ability to foresee the future. I wonder how much Mister knows about our purpose in coming here? "
Yun Hua had already confessed his identity, so he did not speak in riddles with her anymore.
He wrote: 'I know Jing Chen's birth date and eight characters. After I settled down, I would do divination for him from time to time. A few days ago, I observed the stars and saw that Ziwei was fighting and the ghost constellation was bright. I knew that a debt of sin was approaching. I divined that there was a man and a woman by his side, so I asked Xiaozhu to wait in An Xian County. If he saw the three of them together, I would lead him here.'
Yu Shu was puzzled, "There are many groups of three in the restaurant. Why is Zhao Xiaozhu sure that it is us? Could it be that he has seen Jing Chen before?"
Hearing this, Yun Hua got up and went to the stone cabinet at the side. He took out a scroll painting and handed it to her.
Yu Shu opened it and saw that there was a half-body portrait painted on it. The facial features were vivid, and there was no doubt that it was Jing Chen. The scroll itself turned out to be an imperial notice!
When she saw the imperial notice, she frowned. She remembered that half a year ago, after Jing Chen regained his memory, he left without saying goodbye. In order to find him, the emperor posted the notice on the streets of An Ling City. It caused an uproar for a while.
Unfortunately, she was tied up by the Celestial Commissioner for interrogation, and one of her little fingers was broken.
Just as her thoughts wandered, she turned around and saw that there were two more sentences on the paper: 'You are looking for me for two things – to save your life and to seek answers.'
Yu Shu looked at the last four words and compared them. She was surprised. This' seeking answers' was referring to Jing Chen. Could it be that 'saving my life' was referring to herself?
The feeling that she could not hide surged up again. She could not help but wonder if Yun Hua knew about her background. Was that why he was so generous in telling her so many secrets?
