Chapter 252 Movement
Although Lu Xuan felt that this news still needed some final reasons to confirm, he had already guessed most of it and should tell Xu Shu the truth.
She looked at Xu Shu, her clear eyes filled with a hint of certainty. "Sister Xu might not believe it if I tell you this. Even I myself find it incredible that there is such a wonderful fate in this world!"
She took Xu Shu's hands with both of her own, her eyes full of intimacy, and spoke each word with emphasis: "Sister Xu, your father, Xu Wenshan, is actually a disciple of my Shenji Sect!"
Wow!
In an instant, Xu Shu's pupils shook violently.
"Princess, what did you say?!" Her face, filled with disbelief, was now filled with a hint of joy. "You mean, the Shenji Sect, the one you're the leader of?!"
Lu Xuan nodded and held her hand tighter. "Sister Xu told you to follow me so we could slowly wait for our chance to take revenge. I thought I was wasting your time. Now that I think about it, it's all preordained!"
Xu Shu pondered the connection between all of this. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and his tone became a little urgent: "So, the princess must have found the person who harmed my father? That person is also related to the Shenji Sect, or even an enemy of the princess?"
"It's almost certain!" Lu Xuan sighed softly, "That man is a traitor to the Shenji Sect. He killed my father and a group of people from the sect, and now, he is still at large!"
"This is truly a heinous crime! What kind of deep hatred did my father have with him? Why did he use a spell to make me kill my father? Not only did he destroy our family, but he also ruined my life!"
When talking about the past, strong hatred suddenly rose in Xu Shu's eyes.
Lu Xuan patted her back gently to comfort her, "I'm still thinking about this question."
She looked out the window and saw the clouds in the sky slowly unfolding.
"That man's name is Jiang Yuanfeng. My mother, the former sect leader, learned that he was not only the doom of the sect but also the entire world, but also the murderer of my father, so she sent her followers to capture him."
"Unexpectedly, to protect himself, he lied profusely and feigned surrender, earning the favor of his fellow disciples. Taking advantage of everyone's relaxed guard against him, he drugged the food of all the other disciples who were sent to capture him, causing heavy casualties in the sect during the traitor's capture."
"But even though Jiang Yuanfeng killed most of them, some still remained in the court or in their positions. For example, your father, Xu Wenshan!"
Speaking of this, Lu Xuan was also a little distressed.
"I've been wondering, your father wasn't among those who went to capture Jiang Yuanfeng, and he was very far away from who he was then. Xu Wenshan didn't hurt him or hinder his escape, so why would he resort to such a method to kill him?"
"What's even stranger is that Jiang Yuanfeng poisoned his disciples nineteen years ago in order to escape, but he murdered your father fifteen years ago. These two events seem connected, yet they also seem unrelated."
"I asked Aunt Yu, and she said that even as the Right Protector, she didn't know who the true members of the sect were. Only the previous sect masters knew. So, did Jiang Yuanfeng want to kill your father because he knew he was from the Shenji Sect, or did he want to kill him for some other reason? I feel like there must be some important information here that we don't know yet!"
This point has been stuck in Lu Xuan's mind for a long time, and he has never found a reasonable answer.
At this time, Xu Shu looked at Lu Xuan firmly and said, "Princess, besides you, the only person in the world who can use the mysterious art of casting curses is Jiang Yuanfeng?"
Lu Xuan nodded gently, "His profound skills are indeed profound. As far as I know, he is the only one left in the Shenji Sect besides me and Madam Yu. Madam Yu lost all her cultivation and severed all her tendons and veins because of him nineteen years ago. So, apart from him and me, there is no one else in the Shenji Sect who possesses profound power!"
Xu Shu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with flames of hatred. "No matter what his reasons are, as long as we know it's him, that's enough! Even if I die, as long as I can send him to hell, I will do it!"
"Sister Xu, you are confused!" Lu Xuan looked at her expression and a flash of worry crossed his mind.
I originally came here today to tell her the truth. If I induce Sister Xu to seek revenge alone, it would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg and seeking her own death.
"He's now a master of profound mystical arts and holds immense power. How can you possibly fight him with a weak hand? And I'm telling you this today to discuss matters, not to encourage you to charge in recklessly. That would be a waste of your life, and it would also alert the enemy!"
"Besides, what I just said is that we don't know why he chose to kill your father. I'm worried that there is a bigger and more terrifying secret hidden in this!"
After saying this, Xu Shu finally understood.
She really couldn't rush to seek revenge impulsively. Her own death was not a pity, but if her recklessness caused the princess's plan to be exposed and the secret behind it was not uncovered, then her sin would be great!
"Princess, what are you going to do now?"
A fierceness and determination not seen in many days welled up in her eyes. "I've never seen the Jiang Yuanfeng you mentioned. But now that I know his name, it shouldn't be difficult to find him. I can first find out where he lives, and then we can slowly work our way around it!"
Even though he knew he couldn't act rashly, Xu Shu was still thinking about revenge, especially now that he had found his enemy.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan stopped her again, "Don't worry for now."
Her warm palm gently grasped Xu Shu's rough, cool hand, and comforted him, "When it comes to revenge, I've shouldered more lives than Sister Xu. But sacrificing yourself for revenge is a foolish and unacceptable act."
In order to prevent Xu Shu from taking action too soon, she decided to tell her her plan.
"To be honest, Sister Xu, I have a mission for the sect. Only by giving birth to the sect's bloodline, that is, a child with the prince, can I seek revenge on Jiang Yuanfeng. Otherwise, the Shenji Sect will be destroyed because of Jiang Yuanfeng."
"I don't want the sect to fall into such a fate because of a traitor. Therefore, I hope Sister Xu can be one with me. After the bloodline is successfully born, we can make long-term plans..."
Xu Shu knew that Lu Xuan didn't need to say these words to her.
But she still told her and treated her as her own.
So, she nodded, having already made a decision in her heart.
It turns out there is such an important plan. If it is because of me that the princess fails to give birth to a child, wouldn’t I be even more guilty?
We still have to stand together with the princess!
Seeing her serious expression, Lu Xuan calmed down again and knew that she had heard it.
"Sister Xu, I came here today just to explain this matter to you. If you insist on going too far, then it will be my fault."
She pointed out the window at the garden where Jiang Xing was playing with the children. "Look, if I hadn't told you this, you would just be responsible for doing good deeds every day, watching the children grow up, and living the rest of your life in peace and happiness."
"Revenge is important, but your own life is more important!"
After hearing this, Xu Shu nodded and said nothing more.
Outside the window, Jiang Xing was leading children of all ages to play the game of throwing pots.
Unconsciously, Lu Xuan curled up the corners of his mouth unconsciously because of the chirping sounds made by Jiang Xing teasing the children.
I didn't expect that this dandy prince actually has such an innocent and pure side.
Xu Shu had already made up his mind, so he no longer worried about when to take action.
After all, the target has been found, and what follows is just to make plans and take action.
Seeing that Lu Xuan seemed to be in a good mood, she joked, "Come to think of it, the princess and the prince have been married for several months now. Seeing how much the prince likes Fu'er and Youyou, I know he loves children too."
She looked at Lu Xuan's belly and said with a smile, "Princess, is there any movement?"
Lu Xuan hadn't expected Xu Shu to care about this. Blushing, she complained, "We're just getting on the right track with the prince. How could it be so fast..."
Xu Shu laughed softly.
Lu Xuan looked at the children, talked with Xu Shu for some things, and forced some cloth and silver that he had brought for the children onto Xu Shu's shoulders.
It was already afternoon when we left.
Xu Shu walked Lu Xuan to the door, and only closed the door and went in after he saw her and Jiang Xing's carriage disappear at the end of the alley.
However, Lu Xuan in the carriage always felt something was wrong.
She and Jiang Xing looked at each other.
They had already walked through two alleys, but there was still the sound of footsteps following their carriage.
