Yue Fuli had been transmigrated for over ten years, only to awaken and realize it was the moment her family was being raided. Her parents were dead, and as the eldest sister, she faced her younger ...
Chapter 205 The Late Letter
"Who are you?" Yue Yi was surprised. He never expected that the other party actually knew him.
"Yue Fuli!" Yue Fuli uttered her name lightly. Yue Yi was shocked when she heard it, then she knelt down and said, "Yue Yi greets the young lady."
"Get up!" Yue Fuli asked Yue Yi, "Yue Yi, why are you here? Is my father..."
Before Yue Fuli could finish her words, Yue Yi knelt down again and said, "Miss, Yue Yi failed in his duty and failed to protect the general."
"Get up and tell me what happened? Why was my father killed by the military supervisor?" Yue Fuli couldn't believe that her father would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. She always thought that it must be the military supervisor's doing.
She had even planned it long ago. After arriving in Qianzhou and everyone settled down, she would take some time to go to the border in person to find out the truth of the matter.
However, she didn't expect that there was still someone alive among her father's personal guards, and it was the captain of the personal guards, Yue Yi.
"Please forgive me, Miss. Yueyi didn't know what happened at that time." Yueyi lowered his head, a look of guilt on his face.
As the general's personal guard, it was his fault that he was unable to stay by the general's side when he was in trouble.
"What do you mean?" Yue Fuli frowned, looking at Yue Yi with a scrutinizing expression. His father was in trouble, and Yue Yi, as the captain of the personal guard, claimed that he didn't know what happened. This was very inappropriate.
Could it be that Yueyi also betrayed his father?
Thinking of this, Yue Fuli's face couldn't help but become ugly, and he ordered, "Yueyi, raise your head and look at me!"
Yue Yi obeyed the order and slowly raised her head.
"Tell me, when your father was in trouble, why weren't you by his side?" Yue Fuli's eyes were cold, as if they were ready to penetrate Yue Yi's heart at any time.
"In reply to the young lady, two days before the general's accident, he suddenly gave me a task and asked me to return to the capital to deliver a letter."
"Send a letter? To whom?" Yue Fuli stared at Yue Yi, trying to judge whether his words were true or false.
Yue Yi did not feel guilty and looked at Yue Fuli calmly. Every word he said was true, because he was not by the general's side because he was delivering a letter.
"Madam," Yue Yi replied, pulling out a letter from his pocket and handing it to Yue Fuli. "The general said this letter was very important and asked me to personally deliver it to you, madam. But who would have thought that not long after I left the border, something bad would happen to the general. Before the accident, the general had sent all his personal guards away."
As Yue Fuli opened the letter, she pondered Yue Yi's words. If Yue Yi wasn't lying, did that mean her father had already predicted that something bad was going to happen to her, and that was why he sent Yue Yi and the other guards away?
But why would he do this? With his personal guards by his side, he could at least give it a try.
Yue Fuli couldn't figure it out, so she placed her hopes in the letter.
However, Yue Fuli was somewhat confused about the content of the letter.
Because the letter did not mention anything important, just some daily things. Of course, it also mentioned a place, which was the Jokhang Temple, where the couple had pledged their love.
It is said that Su Yuanniang and Yue Zhenhai met under a big banyan tree on the back mountain of Jokhang Temple near the capital.
Yue Fuli couldn't understand why Yue Zhenhai would mention such a place.
Could it be that there is something special about that place?
It seems that she has to ask the old lady carefully to see if she knows anything.
