Chapter 369: Searching for the Past and Talking about the Future
For a moment, no one spoke in the Loyalty Hall, leaving only He Yuan's breathless crying.
He Zhaojun also waited quietly for He Yuan to finish crying. She sighed, reached out and took off the crane mask on her face, and pulled off the golden scarf: "So, you also think that I am He Zhaojun."
"I've heard of the He family's loyalty and righteousness even back in Lingnan, and I have a deep respect for you all. If I were truly a member of the He family, it would be my great honor... But, I can't remember anything about the past."
This was the first time He Zhaojun felt so lost. Subconsciously, she felt very comfortable being able to return to the He family and get along with these people. This feeling of "feeling at home" was not deceptive.
But now, all the past between her and her family had been wiped out, and all that remained between them was the blood relationship of this body. She felt like a piece of her heart was empty, and she had never wanted to know everything about her past so much.
"It's alright, my daughter Zhaojun. Even if you don't remember your father, he will always remember you. That's enough. Whether you remember him or not, you are still a good child of the He family."
He Yong was not surprised to learn that He Zhaojun had completely forgotten the past. He had known this day would come. After all, He Zhaojun could hide it from others, but He Yong had watched He Zhaojun grow up and knew her best.
Ever since He Zhaojun woke up from a high fever that day and knelt down at his feet in a panic, saying that Prince Yong was planning a rebellion, he had already realized that his own Zhaojun was probably no longer the arrogant and domineering girl she used to be.
And everything that happened afterwards only confirmed his suspicions. He also secretly observed and shed tears, but when he saw He Zhaojun go deep into the enemy camp to divert the pursuers for them, all this turned into heartache.
What's more, he had known for a long time that He Zhaojun had not remembered anything that happened in the past since two years ago, but she was unable to say it out loud. Every time people talked about the past, she could only listen, or say some ambiguous words to cover it up. It was very difficult, and the loss in her eyes was not deceptive.
This time, she openly admitted that she no longer remembered her past, not just everything that happened in the past two years, but even everything from childhood to adulthood. This gave her a chance to regain her past.
"Remember, the He family will always be your backer. Whether it's the Third Prince Wen Ziduan's residence, or if you still want to return to Nanyue, just one word from you, and father and all the brothers will be your knife, your sword, your armor, and your shield. My He family will never let you get hurt again."
His daughter finally no longer had to be like a duckweed clinging to the mud at the bottom of a pond, helpless in the wind and rain, and struggling to spread her leaves to protect their safety. Now, she could be a flower that took root and grew, with them to protect her from the wind and rain.
He Zhaojun was stunned for a while. He Yuan stuffed a cup of hot tea into her hand. The little fat man had burst into laughter at this time. He bent down to blow away the hot tea at her and motioned her to taste it.
Today, after meeting the He family, she finally admitted that she and the world-famous He Zhaojun, the consort of the Third Prince, might be the same person. She wanted to try to accept this unfamiliar but real self. If she had such a family around, she seemed to have nothing to fear.
"Can you tell me about He Zhaojun...what kind of person was I in the past?"
