"I know you don't want to use this as a shackle to trap Xiaoyu. But Xiu's efforts may not be reciprocated. However, only a fool would do something like this. Do you think Xiaoyu is the kind of person who will lie to you because he is moved? "
Lin Mengya knew Xiaoyu's character very well. Although he was affectionate, he was not the kind of scumbag who would delay others' lives for the sake of repaying kindness or being moved.
On the contrary, she felt that letting Xiu confess could ease the relationship between them and let Xiaoyu have a new understanding of Xiu.
Xiu was not her friend, but she treated Xiaoyu as her biological brother.
She loved both of them, so she couldn't bear to see one of them get hurt.
"Sister Lin, I understand what you mean. I didn't want to hide it from him, but it's not good for him to know about it. Because it was Prince Lie who begged me for help. If the ninth prince knew that it was Prince Lie who made me lose my eyes for him, what do you think he would think? "
Xiu's kindness made her heart ache, but the truth shocked her.
"You said it was Wanyan Lie who begged you? Ah Xiu, tell me honestly, what on earth is going on! "
This matter was a little serious and complicated.
As Xiu said, if this matter was related to Wanyan Lie, it must be related to the whole Lieyun.
To be honest, Lin Mengya didn't like Wanyan Lie.
Even though he was incomparably loyal and wholeheartedly devoted to Xiao Yu.
Sometimes, the means he took were a little extreme.
Be it Xiaoyu or Xiu.
Before they were used as political chips, the two innocent children were the most primitive.
Not to mention the national righteousness, did everything have to be achieved by sacrificing innocent people?
Lin Mengya knew this better than anyone else.
"Here's what happened."
Like Xiaoyu, Xiu relied on and trusted Lin Mengya like a nestling.
Therefore, they would answer her questions obediently.
Lin Mengya learned the whole story from Xiu's narration.
Everything started from the venomous insect in Xiaoyu's body.
There were dozens of tribes in Lieyun, big and small.
According to tradition, becoming the monarch of the Lieyun Kingdom required the approval of all the tribal chiefs.
But in reality, only the twelve major tribes held real power.
The other small tribes were also attached to these twelve large tribes.
It wasn't easy to get the recognition of the twelve chiefs. In order to prevent the chiefs from being bribed, when the successor to the throne couldn't be decided, there would be a relatively fair system to evaluate the successor.
The Xin family was the initiator of this evaluation.
The so-called High Priest was the organizer in name.
Although Xin Li of the Xin family was also one of the would-be heirs to the throne.
However, once there was such a dispute, Xin Li, as the High Priest, would be the first target to be eliminated.
It was no wonder that Xin Luan and Xin Li would assume the position of High Priest at the same time.
Even so, it was very difficult to get the recognition of every tribe.
One of the more important tasks was to obtain the legacy left by the King of Ten Thousand Gu.
This inheritance was some rather special Gu worms.
Xiao Yu's abilities were limited, and she had been wandering outside for so long. Naturally, her conditions were the worst.
But the king loved his son, and with Wanyan Lie's help.
They chose for Xiao Yu a kind of Gu worm that was more powerful even among the Gu worms left by the King of Ten Thousand Gu — the Heart Gu.
It was rumored that the Heart Gu could confuse people's minds, and it could make its owner stand above most of the Gu worms. It had many benefits, and it was indeed tempting.
But for so many years, there were people who wanted the Heart Gu.
It was just that the Heart Gu was too difficult to subdue, so they failed.
It was unknown whether Xiao Yu was too lucky, or A 'Xiu's fate was tragic.
When A 'Xiu was young, she had faced the Heart Gu alone.
Not only did the Heart Gu not turn her into nutrients, but it also protected her under the siege of many Gu worms.
Fortunately, only a few people knew about this matter.
"Later on, Prince Lie told me that if I wanted the Ninth Prince to get the Heart Gu, the only way was to use my eyes as a Gu Altar to hold the Heart Gu. So I put the Heart Gu in my eyes. But the power of the Heart Gu was too strong, so I couldn't see my other eye. "
When A 'Xiu finished speaking, there was a helpless smile on her face.
It was as if it was not a big deal for her to lose her eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly. Only in this way, she could barely restrain herself from rushing to Wanyan Lie and giving him a hard punch.
What the hell was the Heart Gu!
Xiao Yu didn't have the ability, but couldn't he think of other ways?
She felt goosebumps when she heard that a living person was using his eyes to raise a Gu worm. Moreover, A 'Xiu was so young, and her life had just begun.
The anger in her heart was very deep. She knew that a general's success was built on the bones of thousands.
However, would Xiao Yu be able to sit on the throne that was built with the blood of innocent people?
Under the banner of righteousness, he acted like a robber who bullied the weak.
Despicable and dirty!
"But I also want to thank him. Sister Lin, let me tell you a little secret. In fact, the Ninth Prince has a male Gu in his body. Although it is very powerful, it is not comparable to the female Gu. That female Gu lives in my left eye. Now, it has become one with me. With it, even if I don't have an eye, no one can hurt me easily! "
Although A 'Xiu hid it very well, Lin Mengya could still feel the disappointment and pretended strength in the little girl's tone.
A 'Xiu was a very strong girl. Her breadth of mind and realm were far higher than Lin Mengya's.
Therefore, Lin Mengya felt sad and tried not to let A 'Xiu know what she was thinking.
There were some things that could not be rushed.
What was more, the sacrifice could not be reversed. She could only use all means to prevent more sacrifices.
At the same time, she could not let A 'Xiu's efforts go to waste.
"Really? You're really amazing. This is the first time I've heard of this Heart Gu. It seems that I have to admit defeat in the future. "
Lin Mengya looked at A 'Xiu's left eye. Indeed, compared with the dull right eye, the left eye seemed to be more lively.
Lin Mengya didn't know if it was because she was staring at it, A 'Xiu's left eye suddenly flashed a purple light.
Although it was very fast, Lin Mengya would never be wrong.
It must be the powerful Heart Gu that tortured people.
"No way. It's strange. Usually, Xiaozi is very lively. Why is she so quiet today?"
A 'Xiu muttered to herself in confusion, but Lin Mengya knew the reason.
The poison that flowed in her body was much stronger than the Voodoo.
Humans might not feel it, but the Heart Gu was the most sensitive.
Now that it saw her, it would naturally retreat and not dare to come out to make trouble.
"It's okay. Maybe it's because you're too tired today. Your eye, I mean your left eye, is there really no hope for it to get better? "
Only A 'Xiu could face such a cruel thing with a smile.
But Lin Mengya still hoped that A 'Xiu could see again.
Shaking her head, A 'Xiu's smile was not hazy at all.
"Actually, for me, there is no difference. Sister Lin, do you know why Xiaozi is called Heart Gu? It's because it will become my heart. As long as I can keep in touch with it in the future, Xiaozi will become my eyes. At that time, there will be no difference. "
Lin Mengya thought for a while and could only sigh and shake her head.
A 'Xiu was always so different.
Even she could only sigh at her inferiority.
"Well, let's not talk about this. Sister Lin, stay here for one night. Tomorrow, I'll ask Su Ma to send you back to the palace. We haven't talked together for a long time. Let's go, I'll take you to my room. "
The lively A 'Xiu held Lin Mengya's arm affectionately. It must be because she was so familiar with this place, so there was no obstacle at all.
No wonder the butler had such a big reaction to her going out.
Presumably, for A 'Xiu now, this was the safest and most comfortable place.
A 'Xiu's boudoir was simple and very comfortable, just like her character.
Except for the necessary supplies, there were no decorations in the room.
He was probably afraid that A 'Xiu would accidentally fall and get hurt.
After looking around, Lin Mengya walked into the cabinet with A 'Xiu.
Although there was no candlelight inside, A 'Xiu moved as usual.
She took out a set of clean clothes from the cabinet, put them in front of Lin Mengya, and said with some embarrassment.
"I forgot that since I lost my sight, Uncle Hong was afraid that I would be sad and have an accident, so there was no candlelight in the room. I can only let you walk in the dark with me. "
Lin Mengya took the clothes from A 'Xiu's hands. In fact, for Lin Mengya, it did not matter whether there was light or not.
"It's okay. Anyway, we're going to sleep. By the way, A 'Xiu, how did you know that Xiaoyu and I were ambushed by others? "
Lin Mengya changed into A 'Xiu's clothes nimbly and climbed into the big bed. Lin Mengya finally asked the thing she was most curious about.
In the dark, she could not see A 'Xiu's expression clearly, but she heard that the girl's tone was a little heavy.
