"Consort Qian, please conduct yourself with dignity! Besides, don’t you know who I actually am?" he said in a deep voice, probing subtly.
How could a debt of gratitude for saving his life lead him to kill Lanlan so easily? The only explanation was that when Consort Qian saved him two years ago, he was also suffering from amnesia.
Consort Qian trembled all over, tears bursting from her eyes, her expression showing a bit of panic: "Ah, Yuan, you’ve rembered?"
Wei Chengyuan sneered, beginning to act: "If I hadn’t rembered, I would have been deceived by you my entire life."
Why was Consort Qian crying? As if he were a heartless man, and it’s not like he had the hobby of cuckolding the Emperor!
"It’s my fault... I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you at first sight that year... But when I t you injured two years ago, it truly was an accident! I was so afraid of losing you that I deceived you," Consort Qian said, tears falling, attempting to grab hold of Wei Chengyuan’s hand.
"That year?" Wei Chengyuan avoided her without a trace, then grabbed onto the key point, coldly asking.
Consort Qian gazed at his face, as if trying to determine whether he truly rembered or was deceiving her.
Finally, she slowly spoke:
"Twelve years ago, I went to the Northern Territory to find my father, the governor of Yunzhou, and t you... At that ti, you were a young hero, full of vigor, who saved from mountain bandits...
When I t you again two years ago, you’d beco a ranger in the Capital City, severely injured, unable to rember anything."
"Yuan, I really wasn’t lying to you!"
Wei Chengyuan stared blankly at her, his mind resounding with a thunderous boom.
"Twelve years ago, Yunzhou."
He repeated these words, his voice suddenly hoarse.
Consort Qian’s words felt so familiar, it stirred a trendous blood rush within his chest.
However, he still couldn’t rember anything, his mories seeming to be forcibly gouged out and sealed in so corner.
Who was he really?
Wei Chengyuan’s brain throbbed with pain, as if the re thought of Yunzhou made his mind resistant to the idea.
"Yuan, what, what’s wrong?" Consort Qian noticed Wei Chengyuan’s pallor and quickly asked with concern.
Wei Chengyuan recovered, enduring the pain, his eyes turning a shade of red, the veins in his temples bulging: "Twelve years ago, who was I?"
"I don’t know either. I was just a little girl back then, not knowing the military registration or the armor of the army; aside from your appearance, I’ve rembered nothing else," Consort Qian spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, he didn’t ask further.
His head ached severely, preventing him from contemplating this matter.
Thus, Wei Chengyuan coughed slightly, speaking slowly: "I just killed a little eunuch from Xiaoxiang Palace."
"Killed, so what... What?" Consort Qian was flabbergasted.
Curiously, once he stopped thinking about his past, his headache subsided, and his thoughts beca clearer.
Wei Chengyuan’s face grew stern, looking quite intimidating:
"The little eunuch from Xiaoxiang Palace, he claid he... witnessed you and together, so I killed him."
After the initial shock, Consort Qian quickly regained her composure: "Did you kill the one who was close to the Fifth Prince Rong? That eunuch grew up with the Fifth Prince Rong, and killing him does indeed bring so trouble, although not insurmountable."
"No, it was another one."
He added earnestly: "He even slandered you for cuckolding the Emperor."
Consort Qian: ...
"Did you kill the newly-appointed Little Fu from Xiaoxiang Palace?"
"If Xiaoxiang Palace has only two eunuchs, then it should be Little Fu."
Consort Qian frowned: "That Little Fu is from the Inner Supervision, reportedly one of Zhang Fengcai’s godsons, sent by Rong Jing to monitor the Fifth Prince Rong... perhaps we should fra the Fifth Prince Rong!"
Wei Chengyuan shook his head, saying solemnly: "A true man does not change his na or surna! Besides, I killed him for you."
Consort Qian’s eyes trembled, tears of emotion flowing down: "Yuan, this is the first ti you’ve done sothing like this for .
Rest assured, when the Fifth Prince Rong reports this to the Internal Affairs Office tomorrow, I’ll speak with Zhang Fengcai and have him send soone else to Xiaoxiang Palace to monitor; this matter won’t disturb Your Majesty."
"Thank you," Wei Chengyuan cupped his fists.
Consort Qian imdiately spoke softly and gently: "It’s late, Yuan, stay in Zhongcui Palace tonight, tomorrow I still want to ask you where you’ve been during this ti..."
Before she could finish, Wei Chengyuan turned and left without looking back.
"Farewell."
Having resolved this trouble, he wanted to return to Lanlan!
Who would want to sleep in this old woman’s chambers, who knows what this woman wants to do to him.
