Chapter 581: Speculation
"What happened next?" Zhong Nianyao was a little curious. "Did anything happen?"
Baili Hengyuan nodded, his face becoming heavy, his tone filled with pain. "At that time, Le Yao was already pregnant with you. She didn't want to marry Yi Huai, and I didn't allow her to go find Zhong Mingxin. Her belly grew bigger and bigger, and many things couldn't be hidden. After that, rumors started flying everywhere."
"Because of this, the Yi family's reputation was completely ruined, and they even directly ordered Yi Huai to sever all ties with Le Yao. Yi Huai refused, but was forced to do so by the Yi family elders. Afterwards, the Baili family and the Yi family went from being relatives to being enemies."
"Our Baili family was originally in the wrong, so we did our best to compensate the Yi family. We even gave in to the Yi family's provocations in public. However, we didn't expect that some people in the Yi family would still hold a grudge against us, thinking that our Baili family had gone too far."
"So, Baili Leyao, my mother, has become what she is now. To what extent has the Yi family contributed to this?" Zhong Nianyao asked directly.
"How do you know?"
Baili Hengyuan was very surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it seemed normal. "Yes, it was done by a more extreme person in the Yi family. His purpose in doing this was to vent his anger on Yi Huai."
"Because so many things happened during that time, your mother was depressed and eventually had a difficult delivery. At that time, the entire Baili family was in chaos, and that person took advantage of it. That person tampered with your mother's medicine, causing her to bleed profusely."
Hearing this, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown, "Just heavy bleeding, is it enough to cause her to become like this?"
This shouldn't be possible! Last night, she had examined Baili Leyao's body. Baili Leyao's body had been severely injured, causing its various functions to decline. Then, in order to maintain vitality, the body made the most appropriate choice - hibernation. In other words, she fell into a coma.
"No." Baili Hengyuan shook his head and continued, "After the truth was revealed, that person actually used his own life as a curse on Le Yao. After that, Le Yao's organs began to deteriorate, and no matter what we did, we couldn't save her."
"Not only that, but you also had problems at that time."
Thinking back to those chaotic days, he still feels a lingering fear.
"Something's wrong with me?" Zhong Nianyao was surprised, and then asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"Your three souls and seven spirits are unstable." Baili Hengyuan continued, "Perhaps because something went wrong at birth, your three souls and seven spirits have been very unstable since birth, and you could die at any time. We tried many ways, but nothing can change this fact. Because of you, Le Yao's already poor health has become even weaker."
"Later, we searched through all the ancient books left in the family. We forcibly separated your one soul and one spirit, and then tried our best to fix the two souls and six spirits in your body. Only in this way could we barely keep you alive."
"We originally planned to continue nurturing your separated soul and spirit, and wait for the right time to return them to your body. However, we didn't expect that after your soul and spirit left your body, they would disappear without a trace."
Hearing this, Zhong Nianyao's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, she couldn't help but have a vague suspicion in her mind. Why did she come back to life as Zhong Nianyao after Li Guo's death? Could it be that there was no such thing as reincarnation, and she simply returned to her own body?
After the soul and spirit left the body, they were reincarnated and became Zhong Nian Yao of the Li Kingdom.
After Li Guo's death, her soul and spirit returned to her original body, and from then on her three souls and six spirits were gathered together again.
As for the initial instability of the soul, it was probably because it had not yet adapted after returning.
If things were really as she guessed, then there was no original body, let alone any reincarnation. She had always been herself, but had become more complete.
Lu Yichen beside him seemed to have noticed something, turned his head and glanced at Zhong Nian Yao.
Baili Hengyuan continued, "With Le Yao and you both having accidents, we were completely overwhelmed. After discussing it, we decided to send you back to the Zhong family. We thought Le Yao would object, but unexpectedly, after thinking for a moment, she agreed."
"Because we were worried about the consequences, we quickly sent you back to the Zhong family. However, we never expected that Zhong Mingxin would actually follow you and find us here."
"My dad has been here?" Zhong Nianyao was surprised. "What about now? Where is he now?"
I didn't expect to hear about Zhong Mingxin. It was such a pleasant surprise! If we could find Zhong Mingxin as soon as possible, grandpa and grandma would definitely be very happy.
Baili Hengyuan shook his head. "I don't know either. Back then, Le Yao's condition deteriorated rapidly. When Zhong Mingxin found this place, Le Yao was already in a very bad state, close to death."
"Later, Yi Huai brought us news that deep in the Changbai Mountains, there's a snow lotus that's been nurtured for thousands of years. It's no longer a snow lotus, but a snow spirit. As long as you take that snow spirit flower, your mother's condition will be alleviated."
"After hearing this, Zhong Mingxin immediately said he wanted to go look for the Snow Spirit Flower. Yi Huai also said he was willing to go, as a way of atonement for the Yi family. Later, the two of them set out together."
"In the end, only Yi Huai returned. He said he had separated from Zhong Mingxin halfway through the journey. Fortunately, however, Yi Huai found the Snow Spirit Flower."
"However, after taking the Snow Spirit Flower, Le Yao's health didn't improve; it just stopped failing. Eventually, she fell into a coma. Over the years, we've been looking for all sorts of precious medicinal herbs for her and have consulted many famous doctors, but there's still no progress."
"It was because of Le Yao's incident that your grandmother was so depressed a few years ago that she passed away."
After saying this, Baili Hengyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
