Chapter 40: More Real Than Pearls

"I understand. I will go to the Imperial Palace tomorrow to select some people. I'll leave it to you to take care of him tonight."

Yuan Siyin took a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to him.

Liu Huai was somewhat alarmed and quickly bowed and refused, saying, "I dare not. As a royal physician, it is my duty to take care of patients."

"Tsk, just take it. It's not like it's a bribe. Besides, people who work 996 get overtime pay."

Seeing that he insisted on not accepting it, Yuan Siyin snorted coldly and spat out two words through gritted teeth: "Morning run."

"Your subject thanks Miss Yuan."

With tears in his eyes, Liu Huai accepted the jade pendant.

Can this thing be used as a substitute?

If the Empress Dowager sees him holding this, will he lose his job?

No, it should be that his life is in danger.

Without a second thought, Liu Huai finished writing the prescription and rushed back to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine, leaving only Yuan Siyin and the semi-conscious Yu Shiyan in the entire Changbai Hall.

The vast, empty hall was completely silent; even the sound of the wind blowing through the wild grass outside was clearly audible.

"Thirsty...water...water..."

Hearing his unconscious murmurs, Yuan Siyin immediately poured a glass of water and took a few steps to the bedside, carefully helping him sit up against her: "The water is here."

After being fed water, Yu Shiyan became slightly more lucid. Like a drowning person grasping at a last straw, his reaction became more intense. He grabbed Yuan Siyin's wrist and struggled incessantly, as if searching for something.

Looking at his shocking bruises and wounds, Yuan Siyin seemed to see her past self reflected in him.

Her gaze fell on the red bean hairpin to the side, and she understood immediately. She reached over to him, picked up the hairpin, and waved it in front of him.

"Here it is, don't worry, no one can take your hairpin away."

Despite the difficulty of moving, his innate pride prevented him from bowing his head and begging, so he could only reach out his hand, trembling slightly, little by little.

Yuan Siyin remained silent, placed the red bean hairpin in his hand, and then took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to gently wipe away the blood beads that had seeped from his chapped lips.

"Yu Shiyan, do you still remember who I am?"

Yu Shiyan blinked blankly, staring at her woodenly without any reaction.

Could it be that they've really forgotten everything?

"And what about the whip?"

She took the golden whip from her waist, but he still didn't react.

Good heavens, that's a whip that could be used to lash him a thousand times over.

Well done.

Suppressing her inner elation, she coughed lightly and said calmly, "It seems you really have amnesia. In that case, I can only help you remember."

I am Yuan Siyin, and you are Yu Shiyan. We have been childhood sweethearts since we were little.

Although I'm younger than you, you always follow behind me, letting me protect you.

Yuan Siyin stood with her hands on her hips, displaying an astounding level of shamelessness.

Now that the innocent girl has lost her memory, shouldn't she take this opportunity to instill some new ideas that are beneficial to her?

Yu Shiyan was pale, and despite his difficulty moving, he still nodded slightly.

However, after thinking for a long time, she only managed to get to the point and had no idea what to say next.

Yuan Siyin scratched her head and waved her hand haphazardly: "In short, just remember one thing: even if no one in this palace protects you, I will protect you, believe me."

Do you understand what I'm saying?

If you understand, just blink; no need to nod.

Yu Shiyan blinked gently.

Yuan Siyin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Very good, it seems the brainwashing was very successful.

She gradually became bolder, and even reached out to pat his head.

There was no struggle, no resistance.

I tolerated even this.

real.

This time, it's even more real than pearls.

For the first time, she didn't feel disgusted by such a melodramatic plot about amnesia.

Zhong Heng squatted on the rooftop, silently watching all of this, and suddenly realized that Yuan Siyin was one of the few people whose shamelessness could threaten the city walls.

If His Highness hadn't given the order that he must not appear in front of others under any circumstances, he would have gone down to kill him to silence him long ago.
