I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 223 The Truth

"The story begins when the young lady was injured on the battlefield. The eldest young master... that is, Young Master Ze, rescued the young lady from the battlefield, and the young lady suffered severe mental damage."

Qi Yan nodded: "I heard this from A Yuan."

Huo Chuan sighed: "Then the young master must not have told you that the young lady completely lost her mental strength after that."

Qi Yan was shocked. Huo Linyuan really didn't tell him, and losing mental strength was simply unheard of.

Huo Chuan understood everything when he saw his shocked expression, and continued, "Even the top pharmacist Aled couldn't find the cause at the time, and could only attribute it to the fact that the young lady was too seriously injured."

"But there was another theory circulating at the time, which was that the fetus in her belly caused her mental power to disappear."

"Later, this statement reached the young lady's ears..." Huo Chuan paused, "At that time, the young lady was under a lot of pressure, external, psychological, and physical..."

"She went from being a female warrior praised by everyone to a weak woman who needed to be treated with care everywhere. The huge gap and the pressure from the outside world almost caused her spirit to collapse, and she even suffered from dissociative conversion disorder."

"As she was about to give birth, her condition became increasingly serious, to the point where she could no longer recognize people."

"Later, the young master was born, but this did not make her condition better. Instead, it continued to worsen. For a long time afterwards, she was sometimes lucid and sometimes she didn't even remember who she was."

"If you look at the old photos, you should notice that the young lady rarely hugs the young master, right?"

"Hmm..." Qi Yan had a bad feeling in her heart.

"That's because the sick young lady almost strangled the young master to death when he was still an infant."

"After that, she almost never touched the young master again."

Qi Yan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He took a deep breath and asked tremblingly, "Does Yuan know this?"

Huo Chuan did not give a clear answer, but Qi Yan had already guessed the answer from his expression.

It turns out that the worry and rejection in the photo were not his illusion.

Although Huo Chuan said it more tactfully, was there really a moment when Huo Xuanshuang believed the rumors and blamed everything on Huo Linyuan?

Just by listening to Huo Chuan's story, Qi Yan could already feel the suffocating feeling of not being loved and expected.

He couldn't imagine how painful it would be for the young Huo Linyuan to know that he was thrown to be raised by his uncle because he was not accepted by his biological mother.

Would the young boy blame himself for his mother's death?

A crystal clear ice soul bead fell into the bowl. Qi Yan held back her tears and asked, "What happened next? Why did Aunt Xuan Shuang commit suicide?"

Huo Chuan seemed to be lost in his own memories and did not notice Qi Yan's abnormal emotions at this time.

"Later, Professor Aled developed a series of treatment plans. With active treatment, the lady's condition was under control."

"But just when everyone was full of hope, a woman showed up and broke it all."

At this point, Huo Chuan's tone was rarely filled with hatred.

Qi Yan didn't care about being sad and looked at him in surprise.

Huo Chuan gritted his teeth and said, "Olina, the current queen, came to see the young lady, and not long after that, the young lady committed suicide."

"Although there is no evidence to show that she had a direct relationship with the young lady's death, the young lady was emotionally unstable at the time, and the slightest provocation could have pushed her to the point of no return."

"What's more, Miss has always been upset about almost killing the young master."

"Although that was not her original intention, under the circumstances at the time, perhaps without her realizing it, she had more or less transferred her resentment towards that unfaithful man to the young master."

"So when she woke up, she felt so guilty and miserable that she ended up committing suicide."

Thinking of Huo Xuanshuang's hysteria when she was ill, Huo Chuan sighed helplessly in his heart. He suddenly said to Qi Yan in a pleading tone:

"Young Master, no matter what happens in the future, Grandpa hopes that you can always stay by his side."

"Grandpa doesn't ask you to achieve great things, I just hope you can stay together, support each other, and accompany each other for life."

"Although the young master looks very stable and powerful, that is just because he forces himself to grow up and forces himself not to desire. Over time, his heart grows cold and he no longer needs it."

"But since he met you, I can clearly feel that he has changed. He has become more popular, and the loneliness around him has disappeared."

Qi Yan thought: How can I not feel lonely? The alienation in the name of "protection" when he was a child, the expectations in the name of "responsibility" when he was a teenager, and the worship of him as a god when he grew up, all these things seemed to have opened a chasm between him and other people.

After a while, he said solemnly: "I will!"

Huo Chuan looked at his red eyes and burst into tears, feeling extremely relieved: "Okay, okay, eat quickly."

-

After listening to Zoe's report, Huo Linyuan immediately found Li Jia to inquire about the origin of the stone.

Li Jia reached out and touched the surface of the stone, and immediately felt a flowing energy.

He retracted his hand and looked at Huo Linyuan: "You said the baby will be affected by it?"

"Ah."

After receiving a positive reply, Li Jia's face became very serious, and he said in a moment: "Give me the stone."

Then he turned his head and looked at Jun Yan beside him: "I'm going to Hengtan Star."

"I'll go with you." Jun Yan immediately expressed his attitude in a firm tone.

Li Jia frowned and hesitated: "But those people need to be comforted..."

At this time, Huo Linyuan said before he finished speaking: "I will arrange for Shen Yi to take over this matter, please."

Li Jia and Jun Yan looked at each other and finally nodded solemnly.

Not long after Li Jia and the other man left with the stone, Huo Linyuan received news from Alaid.

It turned out that the analysis of the body residues that Ling Qing had sent back from Motiya had yielded results.

Alaid held an electronic panel with a serious expression: "The analysis results are out. Although it is very subtle, there are indeed activated cells."

"The bad news is that these cells are different from previous samples. They are hidden very deeply and are more stable and mature than the previous two forms."

"I told you before, they are evolving."

What made Aled even more horrified was that he discovered that these cells were slowly merging with the host's cells.

They are like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, slowly paralyzing the host cells and then using them for their own benefit.

This process is different from the previous engulfment, but rather assimilation, which represents that this evolution has found a balance.

Alaid expressed all his opinions and speculations. Huo Linyuan remained silent for a long time, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

After a moment, Aled sighed and talked about something else: "It is gratifying that the recent mass production experiments have made a breakthrough."

Then he tentatively said: "So I plan to take this opportunity to bring Yanyan to the public."

Huo Linyuan did not object, but just said: "I'll arrange it."
