Chapter 950 Memories
There is no third option...
Xu Miaoyin repeated this sentence in her heart. Although the reality was right in front of her, she still seemed unable to accept it, and there was still hesitation in her eyes.
"Empress,"
He Yi said in a deep voice, "It's best to make a decision sooner rather than later. If we delay any further, the instability won't just affect the palace."
"This is exactly what I took into consideration."
Xu Miaoyin frowned and said, "If the emperor forgets everything he did before, how will he rule the Great Yan Dynasty?"
“…”
"By then, it won't just be the palace that's in chaos, I'm afraid the whole world will be in chaos."
"this……"
"You've told me before that you suspect Prince Ning is colluding with the people of Neng State, both internally and externally. If we let him take advantage of this opportunity, wouldn't that mean our country is in danger of being destroyed?"
He Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then there is only one way, to relax the surveillance and confinement of Prince Ning's Mansion."
Xu Miaoyin's eyes lit up: "You mean——"
"Give Prince Ning a chance and let him leave Peking."
"Isn't this like letting a tiger go back to the mountain?"
"Choose the lesser of two evils," He Yi said solemnly, "Prince Ning's matter can be resolved later, but the Emperor's matter must be resolved now."
This sentence hits the nail on the head.
But Xu Miaoyin still hesitated: "But if the emperor really forgets everything, how can he still be the emperor?"
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured about this."
"How can I feel at ease?"
"The highest level of forgetfulness is forgetting love."
Hearing He Yi's words, Xu Miaoyin's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked up at him: "Are you saying that the emperor won't forget everything?"
"Yes," He Yi nodded and said, "Also, I am not trying to drug the emperor, but to completely release the restraints in his body and release Tai Shang Wang Qing again."
“…”
"It's just that after the Emperor is released from his confinement, he will be mentally confused for a while. During this period, the Empress and I will need to control the front and back palaces to prevent any chaos from occurring."
Hearing him say this, Xu Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief.
"If that's the case, that's fine."
“…”
"Brother has been stationed in Peking for so many years, and his troops were given to him by the emperor. At most, the whole city will be under strict lockdown for the next few days."
"Of course, we have to wait until Prince Ning leaves Peking."
Xu Miaoyin nodded.
But the next moment, she raised her head again and looked at He Yi, with a gleam in her eyes: "Master He Yi."
"I am here."
"If I remember correctly, you came to the emperor several years ago."
Hearing this, He Yi's handsome eyebrows raised slightly.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a kind smile.
Xu Miaoyin looked at him and said, "How did you know all this? You even knew that the medicine the emperor used back then was the Supreme Forgetfulness?"
“…”
Although being questioned by the Queen, He Yi's expression remained very natural.
He simply said calmly, "Your Majesty, do you want me to explain everything to you, or do you want me to solve this urgent problem?"
“…”
Xu Miaoyin looked at him for a long time, then said, "Ever since you came to the emperor's side, the emperor has always trusted you, and I trust you too."
He Yi raised his hand and saluted her respectfully: "Yes!"
Xu Miaoyin looked at him for a while, then turned back to look at Zhu Feng, let out a deep breath, and then said: "The future of the emperor and the Great Yan Dynasty is in your hands."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
The bedroom door closed again.
The light dimmed, as if the light in people's eyes had also disappeared, and He Yi slowly turned around and looked at Zhu Feng.
…

Before I knew it, it had darkened again.
Aunt Tongyun stayed by the bed and advised earnestly, "My Lady, you haven't eaten anything all day. Your body can't handle this."
"I...can't eat."
After a day of rest, my throat had recovered a little and I could speak with some effort, but it was still very hoarse.
"Then you—" Aunt Tongyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you should get some rest early. If you don't eat or sleep, what will happen if your body collapses?"
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
In fact, she was already very tired at this time, and her eyelids seemed to be fighting.
But for some reason, as soon as I closed my eyes, Zhu Feng's image would appear in the darkness.
He appeared before her eyes for the first time, walking out from the flames, that tall figure...
He appointed me as a female official of Shangbao, and I was with him day and night...
At the border of Yue State, he single-handedly rushed to the Yue State camp and rescued himself...
The way he kissed himself...
The way he held himself...
All the gentle, sweet, and difficult memories that belonged to the two of them kept emerging from her mind like a tide, flashing before her eyes like a kaleidoscope.
This feeling made Nan Yan more and more uneasy.
She couldn't help but frown.
Why? Why? I kept thinking about the past, every scene was so vivid.
Although sweet memories can indeed give people strength at such times, such vivid memories instead gave him a feeling of unease.
like--
It seemed as if something was about to happen in this quiet night.
How is Zhu Feng now?
If it is true as Qin Ruolan said, that he needs to lose his memory in order to regain peace, then are all the sweet memories about the two of them that he just recalled disappearing from his mind one by one?
When she thought of this, Nan Yan's heart sank even more.
If that's the case, shouldn't I stay with him?
But now I have been banished to the cold palace. If I go out again, I am afraid I will be convicted.
Or should we wait until everything is settled?
No matter what, even if he really forgets everything like before, at least I can be by his side. The memories of the past don’t matter, they can create the future.
She convinced herself this way.
But for some reason, there was no way to calm down the chaotic heartbeat.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
A figure appeared outside the door.
"Your Highness."
The person outside called out in a flat voice without a trace of emotion.
Aunt Tongyun hurriedly got up and walked over.
"Who is calling the Imperial Concubine at this time? Is there something wrong with the Emperor?"
She muttered to herself as she opened the door.
But as soon as she opened the door, the person outside suddenly attacked Tongyun. Auntie felt a black screen in front of her eyes and immediately fell to the ground.
"Aunt Tongyun?!"
When Nan Yan saw this, she was frightened and opened her eyes wide, only to see a black shadow rushing out from the door and suddenly rushing in front of her.
"ah--!"
