Chapter 539: She couldn’t even complain or blame anyone.
After listening to Ying Li's story, Nalan Ruoxi was silent for a long time before asking, "Didn't the leader see the red thread himself?"
Ying Li shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "The person who is poisoned cannot see the red thread himself, only others can see it. When I boiled the medicine for Yu Wei to drink, I said it was a tonic soup, and Yu Wei didn't suspect anything at all."
Ying Li had always thought that Jun Yuwei's lack of defense towards her was a sign of Jun Yuwei's love for her.
But now that she knew the truth, she just found it ridiculous.
It turns out that all the feelings between them were just due to the effect of Gu.
——It’s all fake.
Fu Sheng also felt bad. She was not Ying Li, so she could not completely empathize with him. But if she put herself in his shoes, she would think that if Yan Su loved her, it was because he was poisoned by a Gu. Just thinking about it, Fu Sheng felt a little breathless.
Not to mention, Ying Li and Jun Yuwei have been together for a hundred years.
A hundred years is already a lifetime for modern people.
When you realize that all the past is just an illusion, and what you thought was happiness, it turns out to be just a product of someone else's manipulation...it's so suffocating.
"When I saw the red thread, my mind went blank." Ying Li continued, "I took a long time to calm down, and then I remembered what the leader of Tianyan Sect said. I started to get scared, afraid that what he said at the banquet was true."
"The red silk Gu will only make the infected person lose the memory of their loved ones, but it will retain the memories of other people. If Yu Wei really had a fiancée before he met me, even if Yu Wei doesn't remember it, it is impossible for other people in the Immortal Alliance to be completely ignorant of it."
"So I called Nuo Xin over." Ying Li explained, "Nuo Xin is my personal maid. She was already in the Immortal Alliance before I came here. Ever since Yu Wei and I got married, it has always been Nuo Xin who has been serving me for the past hundred years."
"I once asked her to check whether Yu Wei had an ex-fiancée. Four years ago, she reported to me that he didn't have one. I believed her at the time, but now it's hard for me to stop doubting, so I asked her again."
"Perhaps Nuoxin noticed that something was wrong with my expression and mistakenly thought that I had found out the truth. Or perhaps it was because of the hundred years of master-servant relationship that she didn't want to lie to me anymore. In short, she finally told me the truth."
At this point, Ying Li's voice couldn't help but choke up again: "She said that before me, Yu Wei did have a fiancée. That woman was Yu Wei's childhood sweetheart, named Feng Zhi. Before I came, she had always lived in the Immortal Alliance."
"Not only that... that woman is pregnant. She and Yu Wei are already engaged and have even sent out invitations."
Ying Li still clearly remembers what Nuo Xin said to her while kneeling on the ground -
'...The leader loved Miss Feng Zhi very much before, but half a year before you came to the Immortal Alliance, the leader's temperament changed drastically. After returning from an outing, he acted as if he didn't know Miss Feng Zhi at all. Not only did he claim that he had found his beloved and would get married in half a year, he also said that Miss Feng Zhi was a liar and ordered the messenger to drive her out of the Immortal Alliance.'
"We all thought that the leader was upset or had a quarrel with Miss Feng Zhi. A maid who had been taking care of Miss Feng Zhi spoke up for her, but the leader was furious and executed the maid who pleaded for her."
"After the leader drove Miss Feng Zhi out of the Immortal Alliance, he set a rule in the Immortal Alliance that anyone who dared to talk nonsense would be executed... Madam, Nuo Xin did not intend to deceive you, but Nuo Xin was really afraid..."
After she regained her consciousness, Ying Li was already crying so hard that she could hardly breathe. Her eyes were red and swollen. She said, "Ruoxi, if it weren't for me, that woman wouldn't have been driven out by Yu Wei. It was me who destroyed their relationship. That woman was pregnant... Tell me, what should I do now? What should I do?"
Fu Sheng felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard Ying Li's words. She had never seen Ying Li look so vulnerable.
She finally understood why Ying Li had reacted like this for so many days.
I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.
For a kind person like Ying Li, this news not only ruined the love between her and Jun Yuwei, but also made her suffer from the condemnation of her conscience.
She couldn't even be the one to complain or blame.
It was Jun Yuwei, who was also one of the victims.
"This is not your fault. The leader of the Immortal Alliance forced you to marry him. You are innocent." Nalan Ruoxi immediately retorted, "We should blame the person who put the poison on you. I have never heard of red silk poison before. This should be an extremely rare group of poisons. It should be difficult to obtain. Do you know who put the poison on the leader and you?"
Ying Li shook his head. "It's been more than a hundred years since this Gu was planted. I just discovered that Yu Wei was infected with this Gu now, let alone finding the person who planted it."
After listening to this, Nalan Ruoxi was thoughtful: "According to what you said about the effect of the red silk Gu, people usually use this Gu to keep the person they love but cannot get. Most of the time, the Gu master uses it for himself. This person used the red silk Gu between the leader and you, and his purpose is nothing more than two, either to bring you and the leader together, or to keep the leader away from his ex-fiancee."
Nalan Ruoxi is worthy of being Yan Su's mother. When they analyzed the problem, they looked exactly the same.
Fu Sheng thought so too. After all, the usefulness of the red silk Gu was obvious, and its functions were nothing more than these.
The fact that Jun Yuwei was poisoned by the red silk Gu was such a huge blow to Ying Li that she no longer had the mind to think about the intentions of the person behind the poison. She was in a completely distraught state. After listening to Nalan Ruoxi's analysis, she just responded with a listless "hmm".
Nalan Ruoxi felt very distressed when she saw Ying Li like this, and couldn't help but ask, "Can this poison be cured?"
"The book on Gu says that we need to find the fairy silkworm, take the thousand-foot silk it spits out, mix it with water and drink it, in order to break the red silk Gu." Ying Li said.
"Fairy silkworm?" Nalan Ruoxi was well-informed. Upon hearing this, she frowned and said, "Isn't this a precious beast that only existed during the Immortal God period?"
"Yes." Ying Li lowered his eyes and said softly, "So there is no solution to the red silk Gu."
"Since there is no solution, then there is no solution." Nalan Ruoxi said, "Things have come to this point. Even if the leader fell in love with you because of the red silk Gu, as long as his kindness to you is genuine, that's enough. You should just pretend that you don't know about the red silk Gu. Just accept his love and don't worry about why he loves you."
"As for Jun Yuwei's ex-fiancée, I will help you find the whereabouts of the woman named Feng Zhi, but no matter what happened to her after she was kicked out of the Immortal Alliance, it has nothing to do with you. Her experience is not your fault, and you don't have to feel indebted to her."
