Chapter 162 Returning the Property to Its Original Owner
In Qinglong Garden, the high priest reported to the person behind the screen, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince just came by and asked if there was any way to restore someone's memory."
A thin, lonely and cold figure walked out from behind the screen. He had a slender figure and a long robe that flowed to the ground. His eyebrows and eyes were similar to Qi Wuhan's, and both had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. It was none other than the Northern Desert Emperor Mu Jin.
"It seems he really does like that girl. Before, I asked him to be the crown prince, and he did. I asked him to retrieve the dragon scale, and he did. He didn't ask me about his life experience, nor did he ask why he lost his memory after returning. I thought he didn't care about the past, but it turns out he still cares about that girl."
"It was because Your Highness was too obsessed with that Central Plains woman that he failed to succeed and even lost his memory. This is because I, your humble servant, failed to do my job well. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
Mu Jin raised his hand and asked the high priest to stand up. "One thought can turn you into a demon. Being too obsessed is not necessarily a bad thing. You should concentrate on preparing for the ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
The high priest was stopped as soon as he left Qinglong Garden.
The person who came was the chief eunuch of Purple Moon Palace, Yue Xie.
"Your Majesty has been having nightmares lately, and the palace doctors can't figure out the cause. Please come and take a look, my Lord. I'll be very grateful."
Yue Xie stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, and the high priest followed him to the Purple Moon Palace.
…
On the other side, after Ye Xuanhe brought Ye Yushuang back to the general's mansion, Qi Wuhan sent Ling Feng to retrieve something in the evening.
Then Ye Xuanhe asked someone to call Lu Feng over and let Ling Feng talk to him in person.
After Lu Feng came over, Ling Feng said to him, "Your Highness wants the Yuanbao to be returned to its original owner."
"What ingot? I have never seen it." Lu Feng refused to admit it.
"Bird thief." It was the first time that Ling Feng looked at someone with contempt.
Lu Feng was so angry that his face turned green. "You bird thief, keep your mouth shut."
"Ahem." Ye Xuanhe glanced at Lu Feng and reluctantly closed his mouth. "It's just a parrot. Why don't you just buy another one?"
"Give it to me." Ling Feng stretched out his hand towards him.
"Just wait." Lu Feng replied impatiently.
Then he came back carrying a cage. When Ling Feng first saw the round creature in the cage, he almost didn't recognize it. He was a little surprised and said, "Is this a Yuanbao?"
Lu Feng said angrily: "What do you mean, did I bring a fake one here?"
"Well fed." Ye Xuanhe held his chin and looked at the round body in the cage, as if he admired it very much.
Ling Feng took another closer look. The pair of black eyes, the size of green beans, were indeed as black and bright as Yuanbao's, and full of wisdom. The next moment, he heard it speak, and confirmed that it was Yuanbao without a doubt.
"Master, bachelor,"
Lu Feng looked panicked.
"Uncle, bachelor,"
Lu Feng quickly shushed it and threatened it in a low voice, "Stop talking, or I'll stew you."
Yuanbao really shut up... for a second, and the next moment a string of sticks came out of his mouth.
"Bachelor, bachelor, bachelor..."
“…”
Lu Feng was really weird. Every time he mentioned stewing it, the little thing would immediately become obedient. Why was it suddenly disobedient today?
"It's getting late, let's send this little thing back quickly." Ye Xuanhe said with a smile.
After Ling Feng left with the cage, Lu Feng was about to slip away quietly, but he was frightened by the shout of "Stop!" and his hair stood on end. He turned his head mechanically and saw the smiling face. He immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Master, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Please be magnanimous and forgive me..."
"You're not young anymore. Although I'm a bachelor, I can't delay you from getting married. I think Miss Wang from the blacksmith shop on East Street is a good match. I'll send someone to propose marriage to you tomorrow."
"Master, you might as well kill me with your sword. Everyone on this street knows that Miss Wang is big and strong, just like a man, with a bad temper. She only picks on weak pretty boys and teases them like a female hooligan. Even if I stay single for the rest of my life, I will never marry her."
Lu Feng had a determined look on his face, ready to face death. After holding on for two seconds, he snapped and looked like he was about to cry, "Master, please forgive me."
Ye Xuanhe thought for a moment and said, "Didn't His Highness bring back a boy who can tame wolves? The White Wolf King was captured alive a few days ago when he brought those wolf cubs to rescue him. There's no one to feed it these past two days, so you can go and feed it."
"Thank you, master~" Lu Feng seemed very satisfied with this job, with a happy look on his face. He had never fed a wolf before, and he was the wolf king.
"By the way, the last person who fed it almost lost an arm." Ye Xuanhe gave a friendly reminder.
"So fierce? I want to see how fierce it is." Lu Feng was even more interested. He was going to meet the wolf king. After he left, he just turned around and remembered something. He said in a flattering manner, "Master, can you please not tell my uncle about that bachelor?"
As a result, as soon as he came out, he ran into Canglang. He called out "Uncle" with a guilty look on his face and quickly ran away.
Canglang was no longer surprised. After entering the study, he reported the situation in the capital to Ye Xuanhe.
His Majesty has not attended court for more than ten days, and the morning court is presided over by the Crown Prince.
The Black Armor Army was taken over by the fifth prince, Prince Fu.
…
After Ling Feng returned to Ganyue Palace, Jiang Lan almost didn't recognize the chubby Yuanbao when she saw him. After recognizing him, she felt a little amused. She was originally worried that Yuanbao would be abused after being taken away. After coming to Beimo this time, she also planned to take Yuanbao back with her. However, she had been digging holes in the mine and feeding horses at the horse farm before, and she had no chance to rescue Yuanbao at all. After coming to Ganyue Palace to grow flowers, she and Qi Wuhan had all kinds of things going on, and she didn't take care of Yuanbao. Now she feels very sorry for it, and she should have taken it back earlier.
Now the "family of three" is finally reunited.
"Xiao Lan'er."
Yuanbao cried out.
Jiang Lan smiled and turned to look at Qi Wuhan, only to see that he was frowning, as if he was about to remember something but couldn't.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his heart, as if something was stirring inside. He frowned even more tightly, and then another sharp pain came.
Seeing him raise his hands and clasp them tightly over his chest, Jiang Lan asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Does it hurt here?" When she put her hand on the back of his hand, he immediately hugged her into his arms. He hugged her very tightly, and it seemed that the pain would not come. She patted his back gently to make him feel better. After a while, she felt that his hands around her loosened a little, which must be better, and she felt relieved.
When Qi Wuhan let her go, his face was still a little pale. Jiang Lan helped him sit down first, then asked, "Do you want Brother Ye to come over and take a look?"
"It's okay." Qi Wuhan pulled her to sit beside him and said softly, "I don't want anyone else to know what happened just now."
"Okay, I won't tell anyone." Jiang Lan raised her hand, touched his heart, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
Qi Wuhan put his face in front of her, indicating that if he kissed her it would stop hurting, and then Jiang Lan pinched him lightly.
"My Lord."
Yuanbao called out again. Jiang Lan came over and whispered to it, then prepared to get a grape from the table for it. However, when she saw its round body, she decided not to take it.
"It looks quite fat—" Qi Wuhan came over and just said the word fat, Jiang Lan immediately shushed him and told him not to say it, then pulled him aside and quietly told him not to say words like fat and plump in front of Yuanbao in the future, so as not to hurt its self-esteem.
Qi Wuhan didn't think a bird knew what self-esteem was, but since she said she had it, then so be it.
Late at night, Jiang Lan was still awake. She turned over in his arms, thinking about the medicine he had taken in the underground palace before. He had held his hands tightly to his heart after taking it. It had been two months and the disease had relapsed. He didn't know what was in the medicine?
The more Jiang Lan thought about it, the harder she fell asleep. She turned her head to look at Qi Wuhan and saw that he had his eyes closed as if he was fast asleep. She gently moved his hand away and tiptoed to get out of bed. He suddenly turned over, which scared her. Her hand that was supporting herself on the edge of the bed slipped and she fell on him. The next moment, he held her in his arms.
"Be good and don't run around so late at night." He patted her back gently as if coaxing a child.
Jiang Lan inexplicably liked the feeling of being spoiled by him like a child. Suddenly, a strange thought popped up in her mind: if they had children in the future, wouldn’t she have to compete with the children for her affection?
