That night, Xie Chang'an was so angry that he couldn't sleep for half the night.

On one hand, he felt like he was a fish in Ye Jingchen's pond, but on the other hand, he felt that he could never compromise to such an extent for the sake of so-called love.

He probably slept too late, because he didn't have any weird dreams that night.

The next day, after breakfast, Changzhao and Changze pestered him to go to Prince Qian's mansion to play with their crown prince brother.

Xie Chang'an refused outright.

The two little brats were clever; they knew who was in charge in this family, so they turned around and went to ask the patriarch for help.

“He is the crown prince, doesn’t he have political affairs to attend to? How could he possibly spend all his time taking care of children!” Xie Chang’an’s reason for refusing was very reasonable.

So, that morning, Ye Jingchen didn't see Xie Chang'an and the two little ones.

In the afternoon, Ye Jingshu arrived at Prince Qian's residence early.

"Why are you staying at the Prince's Mansion for so many days instead of staying at the Eastern Palace?" Ye Jingshu asked as soon as she saw Ye Jingchen.

“Chang’an has lost his memory due to poisoning. It’s easier to contact him outside the palace and help him recover his memory,” Ye Jingchen said with a smile.

"He's been poisoned and has lost his memory? He hasn't even forgotten you, has he?" Ye Jingshu asked with a strange expression.

Ye Jingchen nodded.

Ye Jingshu immediately beamed with joy and said happily, "Is there such a good thing? Could it be that even the heavens can't stand it anymore and are deliberately punishing him?"

Ye Jingchen's expression was somewhat complicated. "Royal sister, Chang'an shouldn't have offended you, right?"

“He didn’t offend me, but that doesn’t stop me from disliking him,” Ye Jingshu said.

"Why?" Ye Jingchen asked.

"He's so arrogant. He seems to think he doesn't care about anyone except you. Who would like someone as arrogant as him?"

Ye Jingchen fell silent.

really.

Even if it were him, he wouldn't like it.

But who can blame him when he's the only person he takes seriously?

As the most special one, it's hard for him not to be tempted.

"Although he forgot you because of the poisoning, the fact that he could forget you means that he doesn't like you as much as he pretends!"

"Maybe he stopped liking you a long time ago, and the poisoning and amnesia were just a show he staged to break up with you?"

"Brother, since he has been poisoned and lost his memory, why not take this opportunity to get your lives back on track?"

“Anyway, the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion is sparsely populated. They must also hope that Xie Chang’an can get back on track, get married, have children, and expand the family.” Ye Jingshu tried her best to persuade him.

And this was just the beginning. After that, everyone who came, except for Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingning, started to persuade Ye Jingchen to break up with Xie Chang'an as soon as they heard that Xie Chang'an had been poisoned and lost his memory.

Ye Jingming approached the discussion from Ye Jingchen's perspective, considering his own identity and responsibilities. Ye Jingyu analyzed the pros and cons with Ye Jingchen. Ye Jingyu and Ye Jing'an shared similar ideas with Ye Jinghe. As for Ye Jingyan, she seemed to thrive on chaos and wanted to watch the drama unfold.

Ye Jingyu didn't harbor the same level of hostility towards Xie Chang'an as Ye Jingyu did towards Ye Jing'an; he felt that Ye Jingchen's liking was the most important thing.

Ye Jingning has never gotten involved in these matters; he lives in his own world.

Despite everyone's attempts to persuade him, Ye Jingchen remained silent with a smile.

However, Xie Chang'an, who had finally managed to sneak into Prince Qian's mansion and was eavesdropping in the shadows, was furious.

Is he not good enough for Ye Jingchen? Why do all these princes and princesses look down on him?

And Ye Jingchen, didn't he like him? Why didn't he refute what those princes and princesses said? Was he persuaded and wanted to take the opportunity to distance himself from him?

Scumbag!

She was flirting with him while secretly thinking about dumping him!

The princes and princesses gathered at Prince Qian's residence, and then went to the palace together to pay their respects to the emperor.

After they left, Xie Chang'an returned to Chang'an Residence with a sullen face.

He saw that even Gu Beichen, the imperial son-in-law, had gone to see the emperor, but Ye Jingchen hadn't invited him.

Judging from the implication in these people's words, the emperor doesn't like him either. If the emperor finds out that he has amnesia, will he secretly kill him?

Just as our ancestors said, his marriage to Ye Jingchen symbolizes the fate of the nation. If the emperor does not want to lose the hearts of the people, he will not allow them to divorce. Therefore, the best way is to make the crown prince lose his husband.

Based on his understanding of Emperor Shengping, he was capable of doing such a thing.

If that day ever comes, how should he deal with it?

Although he didn't really want to live before, now that his family is still alive and well, he doesn't want to die!

"Ancestor, if that person finds out I have amnesia, will they take advantage of the situation to harm me?" Xie Chang'an pondered for a long time before deciding to consult the ancestor.

The old lady knew his concerns. In fact, she had already thought about this issue long ago, and the answer was beyond doubt.

"meeting!"

"Then what should I do? Ye Jingchen has already told all the princes and princesses about my amnesia, and that one will find out soon too. Am I just supposed to obediently wait to die?" Xie Chang'an asked.

"With His Highness the Crown Prince here, you will be fine," the old lady said calmly.

"Why should my life and death be in Ye Jingchen's hands? What if he wants me to die too?" Xie Chang'an asked, somewhat irritated.

“If His Highness the Crown Prince wanted you dead, you should have died when you were six years old, not now.”

“In the more than ten years you’ve grown up, His Highness the Crown Prince has had countless opportunities to kill you, but you are still alive and well.”

"You've only lost a memory, not had a new brain. Don't ask such a stupid question," the old lady said with disdain.

Xie Chang'an was originally very worried about his life and death, but after being ridiculed by his ancestor, he was left with only grievances.

With a long sigh, the old lady said earnestly, "You must trust His Highness the Crown Prince, because he is the one you chose to spend your life with. This is your own choice."

Xie Chang'an wanted to say that he couldn't figure out Ye Jingchen's attitude at all, but he also felt that he shouldn't trouble his ancestor with these matters.

After returning to Chang'an Residence, Xie Chang'an summoned Xie Geng again and asked him about the matter of princes and princesses paying their respects to the emperor.

"This was decided by His Highness the Crown Prince. Every three days, all the princes and princesses, along with their families, will go to Chengqian Hall to pay their respects to His Majesty," Xie Geng said.

"Have I been there before?" Xie Chang'an asked.

"I've never been there," Xie Geng said simply.

"Even my son-in-law Gu Beichen can go, so why can't I?" Xie Chang'an asked irritably.

"His Highness the Crown Prince invited you, but you declined. You don't like that person, have you forgotten that?" Xie Geng said, his words tinged with disdain.

Xie Chang'an: ......

After losing his memory, he had never seen Emperor Shengping, and he had indeed overlooked this fact.

Although he avenged himself, his family had indeed died because of Emperor Shengping's paranoia and conspiracies, and he himself had been assassinated by Emperor Shengping's men many times. There was indeed a deep-seated hatred between them, so it seemed reasonable that he was unwilling to see Emperor Shengping.
