Xiao Yusheng was slightly stunned for a moment, and then looked at my eyes that understood everything and seemed to be tired, as if I had understood something, and said softly: "Miss... already know?"
I smiled.
And this laughter was so tired that I almost fell down.
Xiao Yusheng took a deep breath, and after a long silence, he seemed to have recalled everything and said slowly: "It turns out that the eldest lady has known it a long time ago."
I lowered my eyelids and didn't speak.
A year ago, when I returned to Xichuan from the capital, Nan Zhenyi of Xichuan Academy asked him to come to pick me up and sent me a letter. After receiving the letter, I became more determined to go to Bishan to find Liu Qinghan first. However, when I left, I used the excuse of "injuring" my finger and asked Xiao Yusheng to write a reply to Nan Zhenyi on my behalf.
Xiao Yusheng stepped forward: "That time, the young lady was to see my handwriting, right?"
“…”
"Miss has known for a long time that although I copied the "Divine Effect Collection", it was not written by me, right?"
“…”
My tears were completely out of control, so I could only lower my head and not look at him, and choked and said, "Young Master Xiao, at this time, it shouldn't be the time for you to ask me questions. You know more than me, and you see more than me. Shouldn't it be you who told me the truth?"
“…”
He was silent for a while and finally sighed a long time.
"He wrote the "Divine Effect Collection".
“…”
I looked down at the pale face without any movement, then reached out to gently stroke his mottled white hair: "When did I write it?"
"When I returned to Xichuan from Yangzhou, I wrote it on the boat."
"He's alone?"
"yes."
“…”
Xiao Yusheng's voice was slightly heavy. He stepped forward and said slowly: "For a whole month, he locked himself in that small cabin. No one was seen, and he didn't even light the lights. A month later, when he walked out of the room, his hair became like this."
With a click, a tear fell down, and he got into the white hair and disappeared in a flash.
Xiao Yusheng continued, "After he finished writing, I thought he wanted someone to bring it to you, but he asked me to copy it. I must copy it before I get to the shore, and I will immediately send someone to the capital to you as soon as I get off the boat."
I said lightly: "He asked you to do this, and you listened to him?"
Xiao Yusheng was silent for a moment and said, "I can't refuse him like that."
“…”
"I just copied the last paragraph, because the waters where the ship passed by, I happened to encounter the Sanjiang Dam opening the gate and releasing water. The hull was uneven, and my writing was also affected. I originally wanted to re-translate it, but because I quickly landed, I didn't have time to re-translate it - the young lady saw from that place that I copied it on the boat, right?"
I nodded calmly.
Actually, I didn't tell him that even after seeing the strange handwriting, I didn't immediately think of this.
After all, they would not be peaceful when they rushed back to Xichuan all the way, and many accidents would definitely happen. He might record this collection at any time, or be affected by various influences. Until I arrived at Bishan and saw the gray-haired man in the market with brilliant lanterns.
That reminded me of Fu Badai in Jixian Hall. In order to record the ancient books that he burned, Fu Badai also turned pale in a very short time.
At the beginning, I just recalled a map on a silk plaque wrapped in a jade plaque that almost made me faint in pain. Fu Badai exhausted all his energy to record those ancient books and died of white hair. After he finished writing the "Divine Effects Collection", he left his temples gray.
Everything in the world is fair.
So, how much pain you gave me back then, now, do you have to suffer?
Liu Qinghan, you chose this path at the beginning, are you worth it?
I looked down at him, and my fingers twisted my mottled white hair, like I was twisting the weakest string in my heart.
Seeing my silent look, Xiao Yusheng walked up again and said softly: "He woke up, it was actually something that happened not long ago."
I kept hearing this sentence and trembled suddenly and looked up at him.
"At that time, he couldn't even walk, so he could only lie on the bed, so he kept asking us about your news. When he learned that you were robbed and taken to Jinling in Gantang Village, he was crazy and almost died."
My throat choked and I almost cried.
When he was poisoned and dying, he clearly left all his property and army to me, and told me not to leave Xichuan easily. However, Xue Qian's death made me extremely angry and wanted to die with Pei Yuanxiu in the ancestral hall, but he was kidnapped by him. When I did all that, I thought that his life and death were uncertain, and even held the idea that he might never come back, but I didn't expect that one day he would know everything and go crazy for me.
Xiao Yu said hoarsely, "I said it is not an exaggeration. I heard that he was infected with that kind of poison, and the solution was even more poisonous. His life was hanging on the line at that time. Although he had been able to survive, he would have to lie in the bed for at least half a year. However, after he knew about you, he forced himself to get out of bed and walk, forced himself to ride a horse, and forced himself to lead his troops all the way. Moreover, he set up ambush everywhere by the Bian River. Even if we were all left there, he would have to ensure that the eldest lady could be rescued. They said that he had not closed his eyes for several days or nights."
I looked at him in surprise: "He said, he had rested-"
Xiao Yusheng was also stunned, and looked at the person on the bed again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "He is indeed the one who can deceive the lady the most."
“…”
When I heard him say this, I felt heartbroken.
Why am I so easy to deceive? Did I throw all the things I learned in Hongyan Tower? Liu Qinghan, how could I be deceived by you again and again?
Xiao Yusheng sighed a long time and finally said softly: "Miss, don't blame him too much."
“…”
"Senior brother, he often has no choice but to do so."
“…”
"Actually, when he parted with the eldest lady and left Yangzhou, he wanted to take you away."
“…”
"But, he can't."
“…”
"The eldest princess just passed away, and she seemed to have said something to him before her death, which made him feel very guilty. He had no way to let it go."
“…”
"He can't stop the young lady from seeing her daughter."
“…”
"What he actually has the least way to face is his own mistake."
“…”
