Ye An gritted his teeth, hugged the three children and said, "Dad has something important to do and must leave immediately. Are you willing to go with Dad?"
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were raised by Ye An, and they held their father's hand without hesitation. Ye An looked at Ye Xi inquiringly: "What about you?"
Daddy finally didn't leave him behind. Ye Xi burst into laughter and said cheerfully, "Of course I'll follow Daddy!"
Don't get me wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a little traitor. It is better to have him around than to let our father run off to who knows where again.
Ye An touched Ye Xi's head, smiled with relief, and set off with the children.
He walked away resolutely, but he didn't know that Mu Ci was following him from a distance. Ye An's house was not big, and as soon as he jumped out of the window, he was discovered by the secret guards nearby. Mu Ci personally went to watch him to prevent Ye An from running away again like he did last year.
A secret guard came to report: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also ran away."
Mu Ci was calm: "It's okay, don't alarm them first."
He didn't know how he had offended Ye An. Ye An was still angry and he had to vent his anger first.
Ye An led the children for a walk. Ye Xi was fine, but her round and round little legs couldn't hold on for long. Ye An found a tea stall, sat down and ordered some tea and mung bean cakes, so that the buns could have a rest.
There were not many cakes and pastries. Tuantuan held a piece of mung bean cake and ate it very quickly, with crumbs all over his face. Yuanyuan often couldn't grab the cake from Tuantuan, so he stuffed his own piece into his mouth in a few gulps, with his cheeks puffed up, and put his paw on the other piece.
Seeing that the two buns were about to fight again, Ye Xi sat up straight and drank tea in small sips like an adult.
After all, the child was raised by that person. Although Ye An was angry, he had to admit that Ye Xi had done a good job of bringing him up. Looking at Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, the two ignorant kids had almost snatched all the cakes.
Ye An gave everyone a gentle slap on the face and said, "How many times have I told you, don't just think about yourself!"
The two cubs raised their heads at the same time, their faces were covered with cake crumbs, their eyes like black grapes were wet, and they handed the half-eaten mung bean cake to Ye Xi at the same time.
"Brother, eat!"
Ye Xi felt warm in her heart: "Brother is not hungry, you guys should eat."
The two buns looked at their brother eagerly, pushed the mung bean cake forward with their tender little paws, and stopped eating it.
Ye Xi had no choice but to accept the two halves of the mung bean cakes that were still stained with saliva, and gave each of the buns a rice dumpling candy.
There's candy again! The two buns cheered, and Ye Xi also handed one to Ye An.
"Dad, you eat too."
Ye An looked at Ye Xi, peeled the candy and put it in his mouth. The eldest son was really filial. It was indeed very sweet.
Soon a new customer came to the tea stall and sat behind Ye An. He seemed to have ordered a lot of things, and the waiter ran back and forth several times.
Ye An himself is considered a rich man, but he is a relatively frugal rich man and he resists the urge to watch the excitement in other people's homes.
After a while, the waiter came over with a box and said that there were new guests and they were invited to have some snacks.
Ye An opened the box and saw a few crystal clear snacks wrapped in rose petals. They were fragrant and very elegant.
The buns' eyes sparkled and they all reached out to get the beautiful snacks. Ye An was also tempted. After the buns had some left, he took one of them and tasted it. Not only was the snack beautifully made, it was also delicious.
The waiter said at the right moment: "That guest wants to sit at the same table with you, you see..."
Ye An wanted to express his gratitude, so he nodded and turned to greet the kind guest, but the person he saw was Mu Ci.
Mu Ci, who had received instructions from the waiter, sat down gracefully and said warmly, "Xiao An, we meet again."
Ye An's smiling face suddenly cracked.
But the buns said in a shameless way: "Dad!"
Mu Ci responded, touched their heads one by one, and gave each of them a string of candied haws.
The buns are a snack to eat, and the candied haws to gnaw on are also available, it is so delicious.
Mu Ci gave Ye Xi a wink, and Ye Xi took the two buns and went to sit at the table over there. The table where Mu Ci had originally been had been filled with all kinds of delicious snacks in advance. The buns immediately abandoned their biological father Ye Xiaoan and threw themselves into the arms of the snacks.
Mu Ci sat alone with Ye An and said in a deep voice, "Xiao An, can I talk to you again?"
Ye An glared at Mu Ci, thinking he was talking too much nonsense. Now that he was already sitting down, what else could he do?
Mu Ci said: "Xiao An, I have thought about it for a long time. Are you angry because you don't believe me?"
Ye An successfully remembered that he was just a substitute, and snorted through his nose: "I don't believe it!"
"Then what do you want in exchange for your belief?" Mu Ci pressed on.
Ye An wanted to chase him away immediately. He rolled his eyes and said deliberately, "Unless you kneel down and beg me, go away. I don't want to see you again."
Mu Ci didn't even frown when he heard this. He stood up from his chair, lifted his robe and knelt down, saying earnestly, "Xiao An, I beg you."
Ye An didn't expect him to kneel so smoothly. He looked at him in shock, but then he thought that he was the emperor, so it shouldn't be difficult to kneel to the emperor.
Ye An forced himself to harden his heart and said angrily, "I regret it again. Even if you beg me, I won't believe you."
Mu Ci was stunned and said softly: "It's okay..."
Mu Ci stood up and sat down again. The guests around him saw what had just happened and felt that Ye An was going too far. They all accused him, "He's already kneeling down to you and giving in. What else do you want?"
Mu Ci hurriedly said, "Everyone, I was the one who wronged him first. It's reasonable for him to be angry. It's none of his business."
It turns out that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. The guests then realized that they were meddling in other people's business and shook their heads, unwilling to get involved.
Ye An frowned unconsciously: "Don't take on too much responsibility, how have you let me down?"
Mu Ci paused and said, "I have done many things wrong. I shouldn't have left you to guard the border when you were unwell; I shouldn't have failed to notice that you were drugged; and I shouldn't have let you and the child wander around for so many years... Do you know what I shouldn't have done the most?"
Ye An was startled: "What?"
Mu Ci's eyes were red as he said, "I shouldn't have always hidden my feelings and refused to let you know how much I like you."
Ye An: “…”
Ye An wiped his eyes and sneered. She was so affectionate and even treated him as a substitute.
Ye An said coldly: "Enough, I am not the person you are looking for at all, no matter what you say, it's useless!"
Mu Ci said: "But if you are not you, who else could it be?"
Ye An was upset, but he couldn't tell everyone that he was a time traveler and not his original self.
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Mu Ci took out an exquisitely crafted hollow gold purse and a gold chain from his bosom. The pattern on the purse is obviously a pair with the chain.
Mu Ci said, "Look, this purse is the token of love you gave me when we were officially together. You drew the pattern yourself and asked the craftsman to make it. The same goes for this necklace, but after it was made, you were afraid that I would find it ugly and refused to wear it, so you kept it for yourself."
Mu Ci handed the gold chain to Ye An. Ye An couldn't resist him, so he glanced at it perfunctorily and suddenly froze.
In addition to the same pattern as the purse engraved on the gold chain, there is also a string of small chicken leg-shaped pendants that jingle, giving it a very modern feel.
In fact, Ye An had really thought about making this kind of bracelet, one for Tuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan and himself, but he had not put it into action yet. He wanted to make sure that no one else would know about it except himself. So how could Mu Ci have something like that?
Mu Ci added: "That day Tuantuan led me to your residence, and when I saw the mark drawn on the door panel, I knew that you were still you."
Ye An: “…”
The speaker may not have any intention, but the listener may take it seriously. Ye An's heart trembled suddenly. Yes, why is the chicken leg he casually drew on the door exactly the same as the pendant pattern that should have belonged to the original? !
Could it be that he was wrong from the beginning?
Ye An was stunned for a while, and said, "You said someone drugged me, what's going on?"
Ye An finally agreed to pay attention to him, and Mu Ci answered all his questions, explaining: "It's a long story. Yu Luo gave you a bamboo bear. Xi'er was still very young at that time, and was accidentally carried away by the bamboo bear. You chased after it yourself, and met a villain. The villain took advantage of your unpreparedness and put drugs in the wormwood leaves that were used to fumigate you. The drug can cause memory loss, but we didn't realize it at the time. You...after you left, we found out that you were harmed by someone. But don't worry, the villain has been executed."
Ye An listened carefully and asked, "Bamboo Bear, what is it?"
"...It is a white bear with black ears, eyes and limbs. It likes to eat green bamboo, so it is called bamboo bear." Mu Ci briefly introduced it and said with a smile: "You gave it a name, Gun Gun. It is still alive now."
This...isn't this a panda? Ye An was amazed. Name the panda GunGun, what a coincidence? !
Ye An was just a little uncertain at first, but now he became more and more suspicious. He said to Mu Ci: "Can you tell me more about my... my past?"
Mu Ci was willing to do so and talked about some small things between them. He noticed that Ye An seemed to be interested in new things, so he focused on this aspect.
When he mentioned the bathhouse and hot spring pool in Tianshang Renjian, Ye An asked about the hot water switch in the bathhouse and the small hot spring fish that could bite people, and asked in great detail.
Mu Ci explained them one by one and said, "You made all of these."
Ye An's eyes flashed, and he cautiously asked: "Heavenly King Covering Earthly Tiger, what's the next sentence?"
Mu Ci said: "The pagoda suppresses the river monster."
Ye An: “…”
Ye An trembled in shock and said, "Did I say this too?"
Mu Ci nodded: "Yes. This is the only couplet you know."
Of course you have to show it off.
Ye An: “…”
Ye An can now be sure that his original body was also a time traveler, and this temper and style seem, as if, indeed, to be him?
Could it be that the queen that Ye An secretly glanced at Mu Ci was really his ex-boyfriend, and this was not a stand-in plot, but an amnesia plot?
Ye An said: "Anything else?"
"And..." Mu Ci said solemnly, "Xiao An, there is a question I have always wanted to ask you. Why did you change your last name to Mu after you left?"
Ye An's face turned red for no reason. He didn't know why. It was just like when he named the two buns. It was a surname that suddenly popped up in his mind.
Now that I think about it, he must have subconsciously remembered that the person he liked was named Mu.
Why did he fall in love with Mu Ci at first sight? Why did he fall so deeply in love with her after just knowing her for a few days? Why did he always feel that this feeling seemed to have existed for a long time?
"I... I was..."
Tears welled up in Ye An's eyes. Was he really the person Mu Ci had been looking for?
Mu Ci mustered up the courage to hold his hand: "Xiao An, can you try to take the antidote? Don't worry, the medicine itself is harmless. I have tried it myself. Even if it can't restore my memory, it won't cause any harm. I promise."
Ye An looked at Mu Ci: This person actually used himself to test the medicine for his own safety?
Ye Xi had been eavesdropping with her ears perked up, unable to hold back and interrupting, "Dad, it's true! He hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past three years in order to find you. During the days when he was testing the medicine, he entrusted all his affairs to me, asking me to find you. I was really scared at the time..."
Ye Xi covered her face, tears flowed through her fingers, and her tender shoulders trembled.
Ye An's eyes were red as he looked at Ye Xi who was crying bitterly, and then at Mu Ci.
Just believe them, a voice in my heart said.
"Xiao An, can you give it a try?" Mu Ci pleaded again.
"Okay..." Ye An nodded with tears in his eyes.
The group quickly returned to Ye An's house.
The two buns, who were full of snacks, were still taken care of by Ye Xi to help them digest the food, while Ye An took Mu Ci back to the house.
But when I pushed the door, it wouldn't open.
"Oh no! I forgot to bolt the door when I left..."
Ye An was trying to protect himself from Mu Ci at that time, and never thought that the day would come back.
Mu Ci smiled and lightly hit the door with his palm. The door was fine. Then there was a clang from inside and the bolt fell to the ground.
Ye An: “…”
Ye An understood and whispered, "Did you let me escape on purpose?"
Mu Ci smiled: "You are angry, so I just want to go along with you."
"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, my attitude is so bad..."
Ye An lowered his head. When he was sure that he was the one the other person liked and there was no such thing as a substitute for whom, he felt nothing but regret and pity. Mu Ci had suffered a lot just like him. What would have happened if he had not escaped from the palace that year, but waited until Mu Ci came back from Lou Lan? Would he have been free from all this pain?
"Xiao An, don't blame yourself, you just lost your memory."
Mu Ci hugged him, and the warm embrace made Ye An's vision blurry.
"Brother Ye..."
"Still calling me Brother Ye?"
"Well, for now, just call me Brother Ye. You can call me other names after you recover."
Ye An watched Mu Ci take out the wax ball, melt it, take out the antidote inside and hand it to him.
Ye An placed the medicine in the palm of his hand, looked at it, put it in his mouth, drank some water, gritted his teeth and swallowed it in one gulp.
Ye An coughed twice and said, "Brother Ye, can you hug me? I... this may be the last request from me now."
Even after taking the antidote, Ye An still felt a little afraid.
Fear of the future, fear that I will disappear.
Mu Ci lowered his head to kiss Ye An's lips, picked him up and went into the room, put Ye An on the couch, covered him with a quilt, then lay down with his clothes on and hugged him.
"Xiao An, take a nap, you'll be fine when you wake up."
After taking the medicine, you will be drowsy for a few hours before you can see the effect.
Ye An looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Mu Ci added: "Whether you can remember or not, I will be with you."
Ye An's eyes were wet, and he seemed not to be afraid again.
Ye An slept very deeply and had many chaotic dreams. The last one was actually a nightmare, which scared him so much that he sat up.
Mu Ci had been waiting beside him without resting for a moment, his eyes already bloodshot.
"Xiao An, what's wrong? How do you feel?"
Mu Ci wiped the cold sweat from Ye An’s forehead.
Ye An stared at him steadily, as if thinking, and after a while he said, "Brother Ye?"
Mu Ci felt that everything around him was frozen, his hands trembled slightly, and he smiled: "... Yeah."
"wrong."
Ye An smiled: "It's Ah Ci! I, I remember everything!"
"How are the Queen Mother and Xiaole? Is Ye Zhisheng having a boy or a girl? Is Sister Jing married?"
Mu Ci smiled, quietly waiting for him to finish his noisy questions one by one, and only said: "Why don't you ask me?"
Ye An said: "Aci, I know everything."
I know how difficult your journey has been.
"Aci, have you become stupid?" Ye An touched his cheek lovingly: "Why didn't you hug me when I asked you to? Do you have to wait for me to tell you to sleep with me before you understand?"
Mu Ci: “…”
"Well." Mu Ci said seriously, "It's the same if I hug you now."
Ye Xi led Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan for a long walk. He didn't know when his father's memory would be restored. He calculated that everything was almost done, so he took the two dumplings back, but the secret guards stopped them.
"Your Highness, the master has gone to bed, please do not disturb him. I will take care of your Highness and let him rest."
No way? How can the Emperor and Empress rest so early after they have recognized each other?
Ye Xi stretched her neck to look, and indeed there was not even a single light on in the room.
I always feel something is fishy.
Ye Xi said calmly: "I understand, you can leave now."
The secret guard hesitated for a moment, but retreated because it was the prince's order.
Ye Xi has been outside trying to instill in the two cubs the idea that Daddy is everyone's daddy and that they are all brothers. The two cubs now listen to their brother very much. Ye Xi waved his hand, and the two cubs immediately squatted down with their brother to discuss countermeasures.
"The fathers must be hiding something from us."
Tuantuan took a sip of saliva and said, "Delicious?"
Yuanyuan: "Tanghulu?"
Ye Xi: “…”
Ye Xi thought, it is really possible. His father never bought him too much candy before, but this time he prepared a lot.
Tuan Tuan took the initiative to say: "I'll go and see!"
Tuantuan, a bun, ran to the window with a clatter, pricked up his ears and eavesdropped for a while, then ran back with a clatter.
Tuantuan didn't understand either, and said in confusion: "Daddy said no, it's not possible."
Ye Xi:? ? ?
Tuantuan is unreliable, so Ye Xi asked Yuanyuan to go and listen. Yuanyuan walked over slowly, listened for a while, and walked back slowly.
Yuanyuan was also confused and said, "Daddy is gasping for air."
Ye Xi: “…”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to eavesdrop in person. He held his breath and heard... a very familiar spanking sound.
That’s right, it was exactly the same as when he did something wrong and got beaten by his father.
Is the Queen Mother spanking the Emperor? Because his father lost his memory, he took Tuantuan and Yuanyuan away from home?
Ye Xi couldn't bear to do that, so she knocked on the door vigorously: "Father, please don't hit my father!"
After more than three years of withering, Ye An and Mu Ci, who were about to reach the peak of their lives, said: "..."
Ye Xi heard a thud in the room, as if something had fallen. His godlike father came out with ragged clothes and a messy hair, and said with a weak breath, "Xi'er, get out."
