Chapter 216 Xu Jingyang is drunk

In the early morning of that night, the group arrived at Fuzhou Port.

They went directly to Qi Yunshen's house in Fuzhou, spent the whole day there, and hurriedly went to bed at night.

The next day, Xu Jingyang woke up around noon. The room was warm from the floor heating. Outside the window, snow was pressing down on plum branches. A maid heard the noise and entered the room, "Miss Xu, you're awake. I'll help you wash up."

Xu Jingyang: "Where's Qi Yunshen?"

"The prince is still in the study handling some matters. He said he would have lunch with you after you wake up."

Xu Jingyang nodded.

Their courtyard is the main courtyard of the house. Qi Yunshen lives in the next house, and his study is connected to his house.

On the day Qi Yunshen left, he handed over all matters to Qin Lu and others. On the same day, Qi Yunpei from the Qi Mansion also disappeared, and no one knew where he went.

During this period, the Duke of Zhenguo conquered half of Goguryeo's territory in one fell swoop. Goguryeo changed its previous arrogance and surrendered to Daliang.

The capital also received news of Qi Yunshen's departure from Xiazhou. The princess sent guards to Xiazhou, and finally followed the trail to Fuzhou and found Qingying. Qingying could only say that Qi Yunshen had private matters to attend to. The guards of the princess's mansion waited with Qingying, and fortunately, Qi Yunshen finally returned.

Daliang was even colder than the island. Xu Jingyang was wrapped in thick winter clothes, and light snow was falling outside.

She stood under the eaves. People kept coming in and out of the study, and there were several guards in black standing at the door.

Qingying was among them. He was not surprised to see a woman there. It must be Doctor Jiang!

Take another look...Qingying reacted quickly!

?

That woman is obviously not Jiang Yunzheng!

Qingying widened his eyes. He felt familiar... but couldn't put his finger on it.

Who is this woman?

So where did Doctor Jiang go?

Qingying opened his mouth wide and looked at Qi An who was standing face to face with him.

"Miss Xu, it's cold outside, let's go in first."

The study was quiet for a moment. After a while, Qi Yunshen left the study and entered the woman's room.

The secret guards and subordinates in the study quickly retreated.

Qingying called out to Qi An: "Who is that? Where is Doctor Jiang?"

Qi An followed his prepared statement, "Doctor Jiang died suddenly of a heart attack. He's gone."

Qingying's face turned pale.

"Don't ask any more questions about this matter."

…

In the room, Qi Yunshen looked at Xu Jingyang, and only felt relieved when he saw that she was in high spirits.

After finishing their meal, the two took a short rest in the afternoon and then set off directly for Hangzhou.

Xie Qing and others went their separate ways and went to the address listed on Xie Qing's household registration to continue their mourning period as originally planned.

Qi Yunshen and his friends stayed at the same Qi Mansion this time.

As soon as Xu Jingyang entered the room, he noticed that there were items used by women inside. There were hairpins and rouge and powder on the dressing table, and there were two exquisitely crafted teacups on the small table on the couch, which did not look like those used by men.

Qi Yunshen looked at Xu Jingyang's expression.

She walked around the dressing table and suddenly asked, "Have I lived here before?"

Qi Yunshen's lips curled up slightly.

Xu Jingyang just lost her memory, but her body's instinctive sharpness and awareness did not decline. From the expression of the secret guard named Qingying when he first saw her, as well as the words and actions of the current housekeeper, it can be seen that 'Jiang Yunzheng' had lived here before.

If what Xie Xuan said was true, then Jiang Yunzheng was her.

She was the one who lived in this house.

Things are different now. Qi Yunshen doesn't want to push too hard, so he lives in the house next door.

Xu Jingyang sent Qi Yunshen away and called Hou Yue.

Xu Jingyang's eyes were calm: "Tell me about Jiang Yunzheng."

Hou Yue was stunned when she heard this. They were clearly two completely different faces, and Xu Jingyang had also lost his memory, but she felt that the person standing here was the former Jiang Yunzheng.

Hou Yue started talking from the time she met Jiang Yunzheng until before this trip to Xiejia Island.

After Xu Jingyang finished listening, she leaned back on the couch and played with the teacup beside her...

The exact same scene and action seemed to flash through her mind.

Xu Jingyang lowered his eyes and remained silent.

…

Winter is the perfect time to eat mutton soup.

At night, the housekeeper of the mansion bought fresh mutton from the market. It didn't snow that night, so everyone cooked mutton soup in the yard under the moonlight.

After taking a mouthful of mutton and drinking a glass of liquor, Qingying and the others' faces flushed and they looked refreshed.

Xu Jingyang felt a little itchy. She glanced at Qi Yunshen, who was sitting next to her. He was wearing the same blue shirt today. He rarely picked up his chopsticks. Even when drinking, he was leisurely and elegant. Judging from his appearance, he didn't look like a military general at all.

Qi Yunshen glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Jingyang shook her head and poured herself a glass of wine.

Qi Yunshen held her down and asked, "Do you want to drink?"

Xu Jingyang: "Good meat should be paired with good wine."

A smile appeared in Qi Yunshen's eyes. Back when they were still in Jiangnan, Divine Doctor Gu would always drink two cups before every meal. Xu Jingyang couldn't hold her liquor well, and after just one drink, she was drunk all night. Qi Yunshen wiped her hands and feet and stayed by her side all night. Later, with the help of Jiang Yunzheng's body, he was able to drink a cup or two.

Qi Yunshen did not try to stop her from having fun.

Perhaps after changing his body, Xu Jingyang's alcohol tolerance has improved.

The strong liquor passed through the intestines.

Xu Jingyang felt hot from the inside out, and his whole body was filled with heat. It wasn't long before his face turned red.

She felt dizzy and fell straight into Qi Yunshen's arms.

Qi Yunshen patted her back, with a smile on his face.

When Xu Jingyang opened her eyes again, it was the next morning. She was lying between the bed curtains, with sunlight from outside pouring in through the gaps in the window. She turned over lazily and happened to see someone sitting beside the couch.

Qi Yunshen was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, with a relaxed posture, a handsome face, and his jade-like fingers flipping through the book.

If it weren't for this situation, Xu Jingyang would really applaud and praise the male vixen.

Qi Yunshen noticed the person behind the bed curtains moving. He put down his book and walked closer. "Are you awake? Do you have a headache?"

Xu Jingyang was still wearing her undershirt. She hugged the quilt to her chest and looked up at Qi Yunshen, "...You didn't sleep last night?"

Qi Yunshen hummed: "I couldn't sleep, so I came to see you."

Xu Jingyang vaguely remembered that someone had fed her water last night.

She shook her head without giving it much thought, "...Oh."

Qi Yunshen: "Change your clothes and go for a walk in the city today."

Xu Jingyang drove Qi Yunshen out and asked him to go back and change his clothes.

Soon the two of them left the house together.

Today is the birthday of the Yue Lao Temple in the city. Many believers from inside and outside the city are heading to the Yue Lao Temple, and there are people along the way.

Looking out from the restaurant's private room, I could just see the bustling Yue Lao Temple in the east.

Qi Yunshen: "Want to go?"

Xu Jingyang nodded, "I want to go take a look."

There were boys and girls walking side by side on the road. Xu Jingyang and his girlfriend attracted a lot of attention with their outstanding appearance and temperament.

The Yue Lao Temple is located on a high ground not far from the river. On the way to get there, you have to pass by a thousand-year-old tree hung with red banners and prayer ribbons.

There were many people queuing up under the tree to hang prayer ribbons.

Xu Jingyang looked up at the dense red and green treetops, the cold air entering his nostrils. Looking at this scene, it seemed as if something in his heart was about to break out of the ground.

At this moment, a man who was climbing on a tree to hang a prayer belt suddenly slipped and was about to fall down.

The man screamed.

Just as the green shadow behind him was about to rush forward, a thin woman in the team rushed forward and hugged the man and spun around under the tree.

The man blushed and said, "Thank you."

The girl was the daughter of a famous pig butcher in the city. She looked frail, but was incredibly strong. She patted the man on the shoulder and said, "You're welcome."

"Eh? Isn't your prayer belt hung up? You pulled someone else's prayer belt off."

"Yan Hui is free from worry, Zhen Zhen is free from worry."

…

Xu Jingyang, who was about to pull Qi Yunshen away, paused, and Qi Yunshen held Xu Jingyang's hand tightly.

Xu Jingyang frowned.

Various scenes seemed to flash before her eyes, night and day alternating with each other. In the light of the iron-making sparks, a man and a woman walked side by side, through the crowd, across the stone bridge...

Xu Jingyang's palms were sweaty. She looked back at Qi Yunshen's deep eyes and murmured softly, "Yan Hui."
