Chapter 112 Illusion
Sang Luo was lying on the ground, blood gushing out.
She stared at Xu Shu in disbelief: "Sure enough, he is indeed a disaster..."
Lu Xuan suddenly stared at her and laughed, and that laugh seemed to take her into hell.
Xu Shu suddenly woke up again.
Her hands and feet ached, and she finally realized that she was lying on the floor, while Lu Xuan was still sitting on the armchair, looking at her calmly and quietly.
"How did you feel just now? Was it the same as when you killed your father?"
Xu Shu suddenly looked up, only to discover that everything that had just happened was an illusion?!
She was horrified, but the wound on her fist was not fake. She couldn't even tell what was real and what was fake.
She looked at Lu Xuan in horror: "Princess, you...what happened to me just now?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I just used a little spell on you."
She picked at the ashes in the incense burner in front of her. "You actually had doubts at first, didn't you? You thought this was a spell, but you quickly fell into the illusion brought on by the spell."
It took Xu Shu a long time to confirm the reality of the moment and come back to his senses from his trance.
Suddenly, she looked at Lu Xuan in shock, "When I killed my father, it felt exactly the same as when the princess cast a spell on me just now!"
Her heartbeat became violent and she felt the blood boiling in her body again.
"Princess, I didn't kill my father!!"
Lu Xuan smiled, and finally stood up to help her up from the ground: "You finally figured this out!"
"Life isn't that difficult. It was you who first denied your own innocence and ended up trapping yourself in a dark corner for the rest of your life!"
She pondered for a moment: "From now on, Xu Shucai will usher in a life that truly belongs to her!"
In fact, Lu Xuan has some respect for a woman like Xu Shu.
From the fact that she can still return to the house to pay tribute to her parents, it can be seen that she has gradually put her life back on track on her own.
A woman who can maintain a healthy body under constant attack on herself and still have the energy to care for others, these two points alone are life lessons for countless people.
Her beliefs were rebuilt after her life collapsed, and her personality was reshaped in the tearing of flesh and blood.
In some ways, Lu Xuan felt that she was an extremely powerful person.
Under the shadow of life, the most beautiful flower still blooms from the desperate situation.
Xu Shu stood up and sat back in her chair. She couldn't help but wonder, "But who would cast a curse on me?"
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Your father knows!"
"My dad?" Xu Shu was even more confused.
Lu Xuan: "Actually, when you entered the dream, I was also in your sea of consciousness. I could see many details that you overlooked!"
"When your father saw you approaching him with a knife, he didn't hide. Instead, he said, 'This day has finally come!' He also said, 'You shouldn't have done it!'"
“These two sentences contain a lot of information. First, they can prove that your father is an insider;
Second, your father probably knew that you were under a curse, so he kept asking you to leave.
He knows the price you will pay. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of you being in this situation! Because using you to kill him makes him feel distressed!
Xu Shu was already in tears, and his originally hard shell seemed to turn into a pool of soft water at this moment, finally flowing with the passage of time to today.
She was choked with sobs and couldn't speak: "Father always loves me! He always understands me..."
Lu Xuan nodded. "He does believe you. Over the years, it's been the voices of others that have made you forget what your father really looks like. You think that carrying the guilt is the only way to remember him, but in reality, I'm afraid what he wants is to find the truth and the answers!"
After his tears washed away all the depression of the past years, Xu Shu began to think.
"Father doesn't usually seem to have any enemies, so why would someone curse me?"
Lu Xuan: "So, you don't seem very surprised by the curse! Instead, you're more curious about who's behind it?"
"Right!" Xu Shu also realized at this time: "Father used to be the director of the Imperial Observatory. It turns out that he himself has some mysterious skills!"
"Wait!" Lu Xuan suddenly thought of something: "You said you killed your father fifteen years ago?"
Xu Shu didn't understand what was wrong with this, "Yes, fifteen years ago!"
Fifteen years ago, why did so many things happen fifteen years ago?
"Then did you know that Empress Jingyi, our sister Siyu, also died fifteen years ago?"
"I know!" Xu Shu nodded. "But I didn't know she was dead until three years later! She was so exhausted during those years. Not long after I killed my father, I heard she committed suicide."
Lu Xuan felt like he was trapped in a dark swamp, and everything pointed back to fifteen years ago.
Was that year so special?
Are these things coincidental or are there any connections?
Xu Shu didn't think as deeply as Lu Xuan, so he actually smiled at this moment: "I have been living in a nightmare all these years. There has never been a day as relaxing as this one!"
Lu Xuan: "Then you can rest assured. Every day from now on will be as relaxing as today!"
"No!" Xu Shu stared ahead with a determined gaze. "I still have to find the person who cursed me. I want to avenge my father!"
Lu Xuan smiled bitterly: "There are too many hatreds in the world. You and I are just like you. We don't even know what our enemies look like or where they are! Therefore, everything depends on chance!"
At this time, Sang Luo pushed the door open and came in: "Princess, the guest room has been decorated!"
Lu Xuan nodded and looked at Xu Shu: "Since you are Sister Siyu's friend, then I will call you Sister Xu! It's almost midnight now, Sister Xu, please stay in this house!"
"After many years, I've returned to my homeland. There's no killing here, only peace and tranquility. I'm sure this will allow my sister to sleep well at night."
But at this moment, Xu Shu looked at Sang Luo steadily, his eyes seemed to contain fear, relief, and self-blame.
Lu Xuan knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but laugh: "Sang Luo is fine. It was my hasty decision to cast the curse that forced Sister Xu to defend herself. Don't overthink it!"
Xu Shu nodded with red eyes: "Actually, I am grateful to Miss Sang Luo. It was she who stopped me from jumping over the wall tonight. That's how I got the chance to meet the princess and learn the truth!"
She bowed to Lu Xuan in a martial arts salute: "Princess, your kindness will be forever unforgettable to me! But today, I have a request that I hope Your Majesty will grant!"
Lu Xuan helped her up puzzledly.
Xu Shu: "I want to follow the princess!"
Lu Xuan was almost speechless with shock: "Follow me? Sister Xu has her own things to do, why would she follow me?"
Xu Shu's eyes were firm: "My escort agency now has a fixed staff to take care of it, so there is actually no need to worry. Most of my thoughts are on taking care of the children in the suburbs of Beijing, and I also have two people to help me!"
"Princess, you understand the mystical arts. I want to find the person who cast the curse on me and ordered me to kill my father through you!"
Lu Xuan understood that Xu Shu didn't want her help for nothing, so he planned to do something for her to help her and achieve his own goal at the same time!
Sang Luo suddenly became nervous.
This female general, oh no, this female hero, is obviously a capable fighter!
If I follow the princess, won’t my position be in danger?
She was so flustered that even her breathing became irregular.
Lu Xuan glanced at her calmly, then smiled at Xu Shu and said, "Sang Luo has done quite well. Sister Xu has great ambitions and shouldn't be trapped in a corner with me."
"How about this!" Lu Xuan continued, "Since Sister Xu has so many orphans, I'm willing to donate money every year to support Sister Xu in raising them. But there's also something I need them to do!"
Xu Shu's eyes lit up instantly: "Princess, please feel free to speak!"
"I have a mission. Every time I help someone, the mission will be completed sooner! But these things can only be done in secret, so I need Sister Xu to ask the children to help quietly find out where there are mysterious things. Then you can come and tell me when the time comes!"
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, but soon understood and agreed earnestly.
Lu Xuan calculated that he had resolved several problems and gained a lot of merit during this period of time.
But her charming ancestors just didn't send her any dreams, so this was a good opportunity to see if she could exert her strength in multiple areas and win by sheer quantity!
