In the carriage, Su Xuening felt a pang of sympathy for Xuan Yuanzhan, remembering his pitiful appearance earlier. She looked at Bai Shi and asked, "It seems the prince wants to return to the palace. Shall we leave him here?"

Bai Shi, however, did not feel sorry for him at all: "What's wrong with that? At this time, it's more useful for him to stay in the palace than to stay in the Holy Prince's Mansion."

If he doesn't take advantage of the Emperor's pity for him now and play the victim in front of the Emperor, when will he ever get another chance?

And the effect is quite obvious, isn't it? The Emperor had never mentioned making Zhan'er the Crown Prince before, but this time he's had that thought. Looking at it this way, Zhan'er did a good job blocking the sword this time; the injury was worth it.

Seeing how determined Bai Shi was to keep Xuan Yuanzhan in the palace, Su Xuening could only feel sorry for Xuan Yuanzhan in her heart.

The two returned to the Holy King's Palace together.

As soon as Su Xuening returned to the Prince's Mansion, she received a message from Pei Luo via carrier pigeon. After quickly reading the letter, Su Xuening rushed to see Madam Bai: "Mother, my mother has woken up."

Seeing her in such a hurry, Bai thought something had happened, and upon hearing this, she was overjoyed and said, "This is good news!"

"I want to see my mother." After so many days, her mother has finally woken up, and now Su Xuening is eager to go home!

"Of course." Madam Bai naturally agreed, but she was also a little worried: "I'm not at ease letting you go alone. I should have let that brat come back."

They had just survived an assassination attempt, and things had been quite turbulent lately. The Bai family was definitely worried about Su Xuening leaving the capital alone.

Su Xuening knew what she was worried about and comforted her, "It's okay. Su Renyi has been arrested. Su Huiyan and Su Renyi must be overwhelmed with their own problems and probably won't have time to deal with us. I'll take Ye Yu and Ye Xue with me in a bit. Nothing will happen."

Given the special circumstances, and knowing that she couldn't stop her, Madam Bai summoned her guards and secret agents, Ye Shui and Ye Bing: "The two of you will accompany the Princess out of the capital and make sure to protect her well."

"yes."

The two immediately agreed.

Su Xuening knew that Ye Shui and Ye Bing were Bai's guards and secret agents, and frowned, saying, "Mother Consort can't be without anyone by her side. I have Ye Yu and Ye Xue by my side, which is enough."

Madam Bai gave her a reproachful look: "What danger could there be for your mother to stay in the Holy Prince's Mansion? Those assassins who broke into the Holy Prince's Mansion before died before they even got close to the gate. But if you want to leave the capital, who knows if Su Huiyan will have arranged for someone to ambush you? You should take these two people with you. If you don't take them, your mother won't feel at ease."

Su Xuening thought of what Xuan Yuanzhan had said before: not only did the Holy King's Mansion have secret guards arranged by Xuan Yuanpeng, but Xuan Yuanzhan had also arranged secret guards. The Holy King's Mansion was indeed very safe and impregnable.

"Very well, then I will take Ye Shui and Ye Bing with me. Thank you, Mother." Su Xuening bowed gratefully to Madam Bai.

Madam Bai quickly helped her up: "Silly child, there's no need for formalities among family. Go see your mother, and if she has any difficulties, just let her know."

Although she hadn't had much contact with Mu Shi before, she mostly heard about her from Wanrong.

She understood Wanrong's thoughts. Given the distance between them, Wanrong couldn't find a single fault with her. Firstly, Wanrong was proud and disdained talking about people behind their backs, and secondly, there really wasn't anything about this person that anyone could say about her.

Judging from Ning'er's upbringing and character, that person must be a good person.

"Thank you, Mother." Su Xuening was genuinely worried about Mu Junyu's condition. After bidding farewell to Madam Bai, she hurriedly left the capital with Ye Yu, Ye Xue, Ye Shui, and Ye Bing.

In the valley on the western outskirts of Kyoto, Su Xuening still had the carriage stop outside the Stone Forest, leaving them all to wait outside while she went inside.

Su Xuening quickly broke through the formation and strode swiftly to the bamboo house.

Sure enough, she saw a familiar figure sitting at the stone table. Su Xuening's eyes immediately reddened, and she called out in a hoarse voice, "Mother!"

Mu Junyu turned around subconsciously and saw a girl who looked about 70-80% like her running towards her.

Su Xuening threw herself into Mu Junyu's arms, her eyes brimming with tears: "Mother, you're finally awake. Yun'an and I have been waiting for you to wake up."

Mu Junyu frowned, but instead of hugging Su Xuening, she coldly pushed her away: "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your mother."

Su Xuening was stunned upon hearing this, staring at Mu Junyu in disbelief: "Mother..."

What's going on?

Why doesn't her mother recognize her anymore?

Su Xuening looked at Pei Luo in alarm, then at Su Yun'an, whose eyes were brimming with tears: "Master?"

Pei Luo sighed softly: "It seems your mother has lost her memory again?"

"Amnesia again?" Su Xuening was stunned, instantly recalling the matter of the tumor in her mother's brain: "But didn't we help Mother remove that tumor? Why is she still suffering from amnesia?"

Pei Luo glanced helplessly at Mu Junyu: "The previous lump has indeed disappeared, so she has regained the memories she lost, but she has forgotten what happened after she lost her memories."

Su Xuening was stunned and looked at Mu Junyu in disbelief again: "Mother, do you really not recognize me? And Yun'an, do you not recognize him either?"

Su Yun'an ran to Mu Junyu with teary eyes so that she could see him clearly.

Looking at the two faces, one big and one small, almost identical to hers, Mu Junyu suddenly felt a splitting headache. She immediately shook her head and said, "I don't know you. You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your mother at all."

“Mother…” Su Yun’an pitifully tried to hug Mu Junyu, but she coldly brushed him away: “Don’t touch me!”

"Yun'an!" Su Xuening immediately caught Su Yun'an, then frowned and looked at Mu Junyu.

At this moment, Mu Junyu's face was indifferent, and there was no warmth in her cold eyes. She was completely different from their mother before.

In the past, her mother had always been gentle with them, and she had never looked at them with such cold eyes. At this moment, Su Xuening felt that the person in front of her was a stranger than ever before!

Why?

Why does her mother not even recognize her and Yun'an anymore?

Su Yun'an had held back her tears all day, but after being pushed by Mu Junyu, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears: "Sister, Mother doesn't recognize me anymore, she doesn't want me anymore!"

Su Xuening hugged Su Yun'an tightly, saying with heartache, "Yun'an, be good. Mother doesn't abandon you. She's sick, so she forgot. Don't be sad, your sister is here."

Su Yun'an hugged Su Xuening and burst into tears, crying so hard he could barely breathe.

Su Xuening gently stroked Su Yun'an's back, feeling extremely distressed.

She understood Yun An so well. Ever since his mother disappeared, he had been waiting for her. Now that his mother had finally been found and woken up, he had forgotten them all!

What a blow this is to Yun'an!
