Chapter 717 Not as bad as I imagined



Just as Cheng Liang was eager to bring the finally awakened Dingxiang directly to Xuan Yuanhan so that he could tell the truth about everything,

Physician Yue, who was standing nearby, seemed to have noticed something and quickly called out to him, "General Cheng, wait a moment."

Cheng Liang stopped when he heard the sound, but still held tightly to Ding Xiang's arm.

He said, "Physician Yue, please don't stop me. I know she has just woken up and is still weak. But I must take her to see His Highness immediately. I believe that if His Highness hears her own words about the Princess Consort, he may be overjoyed and recover greatly."

Seemingly still unsure of his own thoughts, Physician Yue frowned and said, "I didn't mean to stop the General, it's just..."

Seeing that he had spoken but was hesitant, Cheng Liang said urgently, "Doctor Le, we can talk later. I can't wait any longer. We must take her to Lin Yuexuan immediately."

After saying that, he pulled Dingxiang away again.

Dingxiang rebelled once again.

"I'm not going. Where are you taking me? I'm not going anywhere!"

Seeing the two struggling in front of him, in a moment of desperation, Physician Yue suddenly shouted, "General Cheng, she seems to have lost her memory!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Liang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Then, he turned back in astonishment, staring into Dingxiang's eyes, and asked her with a face full of doubt, "What? You've lost your memory?"

After saying that, he hurriedly looked at Physician Yue and asked, "Could it be that you were frightened by this fire?"

Physician Yue shook his head, then asked Dingxiang, "Miss, do you know your own name?"

Dingxiang then repeated, "My name?"

She thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

Physician Yue then asked, "Does that young lady remember Princess Qin?"

Seeing that she had thought about it again, Dingxiang shook her head again.

Physician Yue met Cheng Liang's gaze in shock and asked, "Do you remember who poisoned you?"

Dingxiang said thoughtfully, "The person who poisoned me was... was..."

For some unknown reason, Dingxiang suddenly became tense, her emotions spiraling out of control, and she felt a splitting headache.

Then she raised her hands, tightly hugged her head, and repeatedly rejected everything.

"have no idea……"

"have no idea……"

"I don't know anything..."

"Don't ask..."

Please, please stop asking!

Physician Yue stopped speaking and looked into Cheng Liang's eyes.

Cheng Liang was also instantly stunned: "How could this be?"

Seeing this, Physician Yue sighed and said, "Now, General, you've seen it all! So, even if General Cheng brings her before the Prince, she still won't be able to say anything!"

For a moment, Cheng Liang was extremely frustrated: "I finally managed to bring her back to the manor, and I thought that everything about the Empress would be revealed, but how could this be..."

He was so anxious about what was happening that he didn't know what to do: "Having learned that the young princess died prematurely and that the princess has disappeared again, Your Highness can no longer hold on. I'm afraid that if you continue to be so depressed, Your Highness's health will definitely suffer a serious problem."

Physician Yue was also worried, and the scene before him was completely unexpected.

He then analyzed, "The Princess Consort has always been blessed with good fortune; she will surely be alright. Right now, General, I'm afraid you should send more men to thoroughly investigate all those entering from the grasslands and find the Princess Consort as soon as possible!"

Cheng Liang thought for a moment, then looked at Ding Xiang again, and could only sigh and give up.

"For now, this is the only way! As for Dingxiang's illness..."

Before he could finish speaking, Physician Yue understood his meaning and said, "General, rest assured, Dingxiang's condition is likely due to the cumulative mental trauma caused by being imprisoned and poisoned for a long time. I will definitely find a way to help her regain her memory as soon as possible."

Although Cheng Liang was furious, he was helpless: "In that case, I'll have to trouble Physician Le!"

Physician Yue nodded, and Cheng Liang had no choice but to abandon his original plan and leave dejectedly.

After Cheng Liang left, Physician Yue called Dingxiang over: "Come here."

Faced with his kind and gentle eyes, Dingxiang finally began to lower her guard and approached him, asking, "Can you tell me where this is? It seems like there's a faint scent of herbs everywhere in the air!"

Physician Yue smiled and told her, "This is the Apricot Grove Pavilion of the Prince Qin's Mansion. Don't be afraid. Once you enter the mansion, no one will harm you anymore. You are absolutely safe here."

"The Prince of Qin's residence?"

As Dingxiang muttered to herself, she carefully looked around and vaguely felt that this place was somewhat familiar.

And considering that Dingxiang was quite enthusiastic about medicine, surely she wouldn't have forgotten these things.

Suddenly, Physician Yue took out his needle pouch, took out a silver needle, and tentatively asked her, "Tell me, do you recognize what this is?"

Dingxiang withdrew her gaze, glanced at it, and replied, "Silver needles!"

"Thank goodness, her condition isn't as bad as I thought!" Doctor Le finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of comfort in his heart.

So he exclaimed, "Very good! How about I teach you medicine?"

Dingxiang was overjoyed: "Is this for real? You really want to teach me medicine?"

Physician Yue smiled and nodded: "From today onwards, you will follow me to learn medicine in the Prince's Palace. I hope that one day you will be able to practice medicine, relieve the suffering of the people, and bring blessings to the local community."

Dingxiang nodded vigorously and vowed, "I swear, I will definitely study hard."

At this time.

On the other side of the Prince's Mansion, in Lin Yuexuan.

Even now, after hearing the news that Dingxiang had finally been successfully rescued, Xuanyuan Han, who had been bedridden, finally got out of bed with a glimmer of hope, though he was still pale.

He was sitting at his desk at that moment. After coughing a few times, he took out a confidential letter that was placed on the side of the desk.

His eyes, as deep as the stars and the sea, swept over it lightly, then he clenched them into a fist and said angrily, "Damn it, it really is as I expected. So you and your son were also waiting for the Guardian to appear!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Cheng Liang walking in alone with a melancholy expression.

So, while pouring tea, he asked, "What's wrong? Is Dingxiang still not awake?"

Throughout the journey, Cheng Liang pondered how he should explain things to his master.

The clue we finally found has been lost again.

Clearly, even now that he has truly heard Xuan Yuanhan's voice, he still hasn't figured out how to start the conversation.

After thinking it over and over, he finally stammered out his words.

"Your Highness Qi..."

"clove……"

"she……"

"He's awake!"

"only……"

Seeing his manner of speaking, Xuan Yuanhan immediately glared at him.

With just one glance, Cheng Liang was so frightened that he lost his composure and blurted out without thinking, "Your Highness, Dingxiang has lost her memory!"

Xuanyuan Han was taken aback: "What did you say?"

Cheng Liang seemed too afraid to say another word, simply lowering his head and waiting quietly, unsure of what would happen next.

Slowly, slowly...

It was as if a tightly stretched string had snapped in an instant.

Xuan Yuanhan instinctively felt a tightness in his chest and quickly reached out to press it down.

But it seemed that his actions were of no use at all, and he soon found it increasingly difficult to breathe.

In his panic, he coughed up another mouthful of blood: "Pfft..."

Upon hearing the sound, Cheng Liang quickly looked up at him and exclaimed, "Your Highness..."

So he quickly went forward and helped him up.

Xuanyuan Han, nestled in his arms, quickly closed his eyes completely and lost consciousness.

Cheng Liang immediately shouted towards the door, "Go to Xinglin Pavilion and summon Physician Yue right now!"

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

It was a bitterly cold night when a heavy snowfall suddenly arrived.

The falling snow seemed to drown out all the noise and restlessness in the world, presenting only a peaceful and serene scene.

Once outside the grasslands, with the help of Tuoba Ze, Yi Shangyun and her maid Zhu'er changed into their own clothes, drawing away the spies sent by everyone to follow them.

Accompanied by Young Master Yi, Yi Shangyun, dressed in a white brocade robe and disguised as a man, easily evaded the checkpoint set up by Cheng Liang without breaking a sweat.

Along the way, we were fortunate to escape danger and finally stepped into the land of the Western Qin imperial city again.

At this moment, the three of them met again at a street corner not far from the city gate, which they had agreed to meet earlier.

As they continued on their way, Tuoba Ze said with relief, "Luckily we were prepared, otherwise we might have been stopped at the checkpoint by that soldier holding your portrait in women's clothing."

In contrast, Young Master Yi's expression appeared much more solemn.

He reminded Yi Shangyun, "It seems that King Qin Xuanyuan Han has discovered that you are still alive. In that case, you must be even more careful in the future!"

The horse that Yi Shangyun was riding was sandwiched between the two people, and the horse looked a little shorter than them.

She didn't say anything after hearing what Young Master Yi said.

He stared intently at the road ahead, seemingly lost in thought, yet also seemingly not thinking of anything at all.

Soon, the three of them reined in their horses and stopped in front of a house with a pair of large red lanterns hanging in front of it.

Tuoba Ze was the first to dismount and knock on the door.

What comes into view is a quiet courtyard.

As you enter the courtyard, two plum trees in the corner are quietly blooming in the dark night.

In an instant, the fragrance of plum blossoms filled the courtyard.

As I followed the light inside, the red flames of the fireplace were so warm and bright.

On the stove, steaming hot, fragrant, and refreshing tea is being brewed.

Just as Yi Shangyun was carefully observing everything inside the room, seemingly quite pleased with it.

Tuoba Ze straightened his chest and introduced, "This is a residence that I just ordered to be prepared, and it has not yet been furnished. Now that you have moved in, starting tomorrow, I will have people furnish it according to your wishes, whatever you prefer."

Seeing the look in Yi Shangyun's eyes, and Tuoba Ze's attentiveness.

Young Master Yi cleared his throat, extremely unconvinced, and said, "Girl, this place is far too small. I looked around just now, and there isn't even a decent garden. In my opinion, we should go to my Hundred Herbs Valley; it's the most spacious and comfortable place there!"

Yi Shangyun smiled and said, "Third Young Master's Hundred Herbs Valley is full of rare and exotic herbs, which is impeccable and I like it very much. However, as we saw when we entered the city, the King of Qin has already become suspicious of me. As a result, Hundred Herbs Valley is far less safe than here. Right now, I must hide myself well and make sure I am not discovered."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ze immediately let out a smug laugh.

Young Master Yi immediately retorted angrily, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

After saying that, he snorted coldly and left.

Yi Shangyun turned around and called out urgently, "Third Young Master, it's snowing so heavily outside, where are you going?"
