Chapter 1643 The Bloody Wedding Night
Nan Yan's voice was trembling as she said, "Her eyes, just, disappeared."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned.
He pondered for a moment, then asked softly, "So, what about the man named Jiang Qu?"
"It's gone too."
“…”
"And her eyes disappeared together with her."
“…”
"Later, they asked around and heard that someone saw Jiang Qu on the street that night. He left the city overnight, holding a box in his hand, and it seemed that he was bleeding."
“…”
"It was him who dug out Chu Xin's eyes."
When she said this, Nan Yan's voice trembled even more violently.
Zhu Feng finally understood why she looked pale and distraught when she came back just now, and even asked him such a stupid question, which was uncharacteristic of her.
That original intention, on the wedding night, which should have been the happiest moment for a girl, was gouged out of her eyes by the person she loved.
Such a bloody scene made the bridal chamber seem tragic.
If we apply this to others, who wouldn’t feel terrified?
That's the person next to you!
Who could have imagined that someone who usually lived with him day and night, even whispered to him, would suddenly turn into a demon, without any reason or cause...
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng's heart sank again.
However, he didn't say anything immediately.
Instead, he held Nan Yan in his arms, using his body temperature to warm her until he felt her calm down in his arms and no longer shiver. Then he asked softly, "What happened next?"
Nan Yan's voice was choked with sobs as she said, "Later..."
“…”
"Chu Xin's parents never thought that marrying a live-in son-in-law would lead to something like this. They were so angry that they became sick. Not long after, they both passed away."
“…”
"In a good family, only Chu Xin is left."
“…”
"She was in pain and suffering. She had no idea why the person she loved so deeply, the one who was so close to her, would treat her like this. After her parents passed away, she could no longer see and could do nothing but cry every day."
“…”
"And so, I developed a stubborn illness..."
At this point, Nan Yan's voice became hoarse again, thinking of the time when Chu Xin suddenly found that the bandage covering her eyes was missing, and she was so panicked that she was at a loss. It took a lot of effort to find a new, snow-white bandage and wrap it around her eyes again.
She didn't look that scary at all.
But unexpectedly, when she mentioned what happened that year, her voice gradually choked up, and then, a red tinge appeared on the snow-white bandage.
Two streams of blood and tears flowed down.
This is the stubborn disease she had back then.
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and then asked, "Then how did she get here? Besides, this incident must have happened about ten years ago."
"Yes."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "She said it's been fifteen years."
“…”
"Everything that happened fifteen years ago left her devastated, especially after her parents passed away. She was so disheartened that she just wanted to die."
“…”
"But at that time, she heard that Jiang Qu appeared in Yangzhou."
“…”
"When she heard the news, she suddenly didn't want to die anymore. She wanted revenge and to get her eyes back."
“…”
"Even if she can't do it, she should at least ask for clarification."
“…”
"Why, why did he do this to her? Why would the man she loved so much hurt her the most when she was happiest?"
"So, she went to Yangzhou?"
"Yes, she sold her family property and rushed to Yangzhou. However, she was blind and had difficulty moving. By the time she arrived in Yangzhou, Jiang Qu had already left. She continued to inquire and later heard that he appeared in Linfen, so she rushed to Linfen again."
Zhu Feng frowned and asked, "Has she been looking for him like this?"
"yes."
“…”
"She just kept searching for that man. As long as there was even a hint of him, she would chase him even if he was thousands of miles away. However, she never found him. Over the past ten years, she has been searching for him."
"More than ten years, and you haven't found it once?"
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
Zhu Feng sighed softly.
This woman is blind, but she has been searching for fifteen years and has not given up until now. It can only be said that the power of hatred is too great.
He asked, "So this time she—"
"I also got the news about Jiang Qu."
"Jiang Qu, is he in Shazhouwei?"
"No, in Thermidor."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Nan Yan said, "She heard on the way that Jiang Qu had appeared in Hot Moon Bay. It seemed that he had become a bandit."
“…”
"And this time, he stayed here for quite a while. Chu Xin rushed here from the Central Plains, and it took him nearly half a year. I heard he's still here."
“…”
"This may be her last chance."
“…”
"If she misses this opportunity, she might never find Jiang Qu again, or get her eyes back, and she won't even know why that man treated her like this."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, just frowned and remained silent.
Nan Yan leaned against his chest, feeling something, and looked up at him: "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her, thought for a moment, and said, "Nothing."
“……?”
"Do you want to help her?"
Mentioning this, Nan Yan sighed again and said, "What can I do to help her?"
“…”
"I just feel so sorry for her."
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Everything has its cause and effect. You don't have to worry too much about others."
“…”
"She wants to find Jiang Qu, so how does she plan to find him?"
Nan Yan said, "From her tone, it sounded like she wanted to rush straight into the Thermidor Crescent. Of course, I stopped her. That would be tantamount to committing suicide. I asked her to stay here for a while and then think of a solution."
Zhu Feng looked down at her and said with a half-smile, "You're looking forward to my sending out troops soon, aren't you?"
Nan Yan said: "Of course I dare not."
“…”
"No matter how small the matter is, it's not just a matter of a battle. This place is not just a matter of a battle. It also affects the emperor's future strategy. How dare I be so ignorant?"
Hearing her say this, Zhu Feng laughed again.
He didn't quite understand why he liked this little girl so much before he lost his memory. Even if it meant risking the whole world's disapproval, he was determined to enthrone her as a royal concubine even though she might have been a foreigner at the time.
Now, I understand a little.
