Chapter 71 Appearance
When Liu Yu and the others arrived at the North Courtyard, Aunt Wei was standing in front of the North Courtyard gate with the plaque fallen off, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Liu Yu's tense nerves relaxed. It was good that nothing happened to his aunt.
Seeing them coming, Aunt Wei rushed to Liu Yu, grabbed her hand, and prepared to go out.
It was the aunt's personal nanny who stopped her and deliberately reminded her: "Aunt, no matter what happens, you have to let the girl go into the house to take a breath first!"
Aunt Wei saw the person in Feng Mo's hand. She was familiar with this person. If it wasn't Ling Madam beside the old lady, who else could it be? She immediately understood the intention of Madam Ling's words.
Although he was extremely anxious, he still forced a fake smile and invited Liu Yu in.
Liu Yu sighed, her aunt! No matter when, everything is always written on her face. They were suppressed here, which had a lot to do with the aunt's inaction.
Aunt Wei welcomed Liu Yu into the yard. The others were left outside. She took only her back to the room and closed the door deliberately.
"Aunt, what's going on so mysteriously?"
Before Aunt Wei could say anything, tears started falling.
Seeing this, Liu Yu's expression became serious and he waited for Aunt Wei's next words.
"Yuer, please save your father!" Aunt Wei cried out in tears and choked with sobs.
What? Save her father? Liu Yu suspected that she had heard it wrong.
Didn't her father disappear ten years ago?
Now my aunt says it’s her father?
Liu Yu didn't believe it and asked again:
"Auntie, are you talking about my father?"
Aunt Wei nodded and hurried to pull Liu Yu, her body trembling:
"Yes, Sister Yu, the prince is dying, let's go and save him!" Aunt Wei began to speak incoherently.
Looking at Aunt Wei's appearance, even if Liu Yu didn't believe it, he had to think about this possibility.
Liu Yan really showed up.
Twelve years ago, after the wife of the old Marquis of Pingnan Mansion, Tian, died suddenly, the son of Pingnan, Liu Yan, disappeared inexplicably. A month later, he was found in an abandoned beggar street in the west courtyard. The former favored child of heaven became a beggar begging on the street.
Not only does he not recognize anyone, he has also lost all his memories.
I still go crazy from time to time.
After the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion found the person, the old marquis trapped Liu Yan in the north courtyard, and at the same time offered a large reward to find a famous doctor for Liu Yan.
But no one could cure it, and it got worse and worse.
At first, Liu Yan's madness occurred once every seven days, then gradually, once every three days, then once every day, and then later...
In Liu Yu's memory, her father had never been awake.
Ten years ago, on a very ordinary morning, her aunt rushed into her room and said that Liu Yan had disappeared. At that time, her aunt looked the same as she does now, very sad, extremely sad.
Liu Yu has never felt fatherly love since she was a child. Even though he is her father, he is not as important to her as Guyu and other maids who accompany her every day.
But Liu Yan abandoned her and her aunt.
These things, including Liu Yan's disappearance, were only known to the people of Pingnan Marquis Mansion. The madman was trapped somewhere by the people of Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
This was also why she told the prince about taking back the title, and the prince did not question her ambition.
But her ambition is real. She really wants to get help from the Tian family and contact the Tian family.
As for Liu Yan, it would be best to have her, but there are ways to deal with her even if she isn't there.
Liu Yu pulled out his hand and asked in a deep voice:
"Aunt, please tell me clearly first. Where is he? Why is his life in danger? Why can I save him?" Liu Yu walked to the table and sat down, and told Xiao Yu to get medicine for Aunt Wei.
Seeing Liu Yu's unhurried look, Aunt Wei became really anxious. She grabbed Xiao Yu and said to Liu Yu:
"Your father is in Yanjing. I don't have time to explain to you. If you don't go, he will really die. I know you hate him, but he is your father after all."
Liu Yu finally agreed. They opened the door and came out. Nanny Ling had been locked up and was being watched by Xiao Yu and the others. Feng Mo and Grandma Kui followed her out of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
Following the route specified by Aunt Wei, the carriage galloped all the way to Linyuan and stopped at the back door of Anguo Temple on the top of the mountain.
Aunt Wei quickly jumped off the carriage, ran to the door, and knocked on it in a three-long and two-short manner.
Soon the door opened a crack, and a round little head poked out stealthily.
When she saw it was Aunt Wei, she immediately opened the door and let them in.
"Master Wei, you are finally here."
"How is he?" Aunt Wei asked as she pulled Liu Yu into Anguo Temple.
The little monk shook his head:
“This is not a good situation…”
Liu Yu clearly felt the hand holding her tighten and tremble slightly.
She still didn't say a word. After entering Anguo Temple, she was forced to follow the little monk through twists and turns until she arrived at a courtyard.
Before I stepped in, I heard a series of roars, which didn't sound like human voices, but more like the roars of wild beasts.
But Liu Yu will never forget this voice. It was indeed Liu Yan, her father.
"Master, Aunt Wei is here." The little monk led them into the yard.
The door opened and a voice came from inside the house, "Come in!"
At some point, Aunt Wei had let go of Liu Yu and entered the room where the roar came from.
Liu Yu followed him into the house. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked after seeing the situation inside.
Even though he was crazy in the past, Liu Yan would still dress himself up after he recovered from his madness. But now he looked completely like a non-human. His limbs were hung on the wall with iron chains, and the chain around his neck tied him up like a dog.
The skin and flesh on his wrists, ankles and neck had long been worn out and emitted a foul odor. His emaciated body was covered with countless hideous and terrifying scars, even on his face.
Even if Liu Yan is a lunatic, he shouldn't be treated like this.
Even though Liu Yu had no feelings for Liu Yan, her eyes turned red.
"Aunt, why do you tie him up with an iron chain?" Her voice was suppressed and obviously filled with anger.
Since Aunt Wei came in, her tears have been flowing like a dam bursting.
There is no point in asking.
Liu Yu turned his head and cast his gaze on the white-bearded old monk who was burning incense for Liu Yan.
Sensing her gaze, the old monk covered the incense hut, walked to her side, and put his palms together:
"Good, good, little donor, you are finally here."
Liu Yu clasped his hands together in return and waited for the old monk's next words.
The old monk sighed, turned around and walked towards Liu Yan.
Liu Yu paused for a moment, but still followed step by step and stood in front of Liu Yan.
At some point, Liu Yan had calmed down. The pair of blood-red and violent eyes under his hair stared at Liu Yu, and there was actually a hint of tenderness in them.
Liu Yu tried her best to ignore those eyes and she still looked at the old monk.
The old monk lived up to her expectations and explained what had happened in a clear and organized manner.
