Chapter 2566 Medicine is not the most important thing
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "It seems that Master Xue didn't take to heart what I told him before I left?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Yun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
“…”
"I have not forgotten the Majesty's instructions. All along the way, I have been using the excuse of 'strengthening the body' to delay the Emperor's detoxification process."
"Yeah?"
"However, even this humble servant's trick cannot hide from the emperor's eyes."
"So the Emperor already knows that it was me who ordered you to do this?"
“…”
Xue Yun hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty are in perfect harmony. Your Majesty is concerned about Your Majesty's health. How could Your Majesty not know about her concern?"
After hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help but look at her.
To be honest, Xue Yun would not have spoken like this in the past. After all, she came from a prominent family in Bailong City. She had no one to worry about, and there was no need for her to flatter others in a roundabout way. After experiencing these days, she spoke more tactfully than before.
I just don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Then, after the emperor knew about it, he still forced you to detoxify him?"
Xue Yun said, "The Emperor knows that the Empress is concerned, so how could he bear to make her worry? The detoxification process will only continue after we arrive at the Commandant's Mansion."
"That's fine, too."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
Before leaving, she asked Xue Yun to suspend the detoxification. Firstly, she was worried that she would not be by his side and something might happen; secondly, she was worried that they were on the road in a special environment and something unexpected might happen that would affect the detoxification and hurt Zhu Feng.
When we arrived at the Duwei Mansion, it was a different story.
Nan Yan said, "Then, tell me about that medicine. What's the story behind it? When you gave the emperor acupuncture to detoxify him, didn't you mention that you needed to refine some medicine?"
"Yes, but after arriving at the Duwei Mansion, the Emperor asked about something."
"What's up?"
"I have previously told Your Majesty that the poison of the Marrow Cleansing Flower does not erase a person's memory, but rather hides it, making it impossible to find it."
"Yes, I also know this saying."
"Acupuncture to detoxify, however, simply opens the mind and allows one to regain memory. However, regaining memory requires some kind of opportunity—for example, seeing the person in your memory, re-experiencing the events you remember, or returning to the scene or place you remember."
"Um."
"On the second day after arriving at the Duwei Mansion, the Emperor suddenly asked me, 'If I never meet the person in my memory, or if the things I remember never happen again, and I can't return to the places I remember, then will that memory be lost forever?'"
Hearing this question, Nan Yan frowned.
This was something she hadn't thought of.
But if you think about it carefully, this problem is very tricky. For example, a memory may be just something that two people experienced together. If one of them is dead, the other person can't see the other person, so won't the memory be completely buried?
Or... for example, if a person grew up in another place and later lived in Yan Country for a long time, and would never return to the place where he grew up in his entire life, then that memory would be impossible to recover, right?
Zhu Feng had never thought about it before, but he mentioned this matter after coming here. I'm afraid some scene touched him.
So he asked, "What happened before the emperor asked this question?"
Xue Yun frowned and thought about it.
He said, "That was the first time the Emperor left the Duwei Mansion after arriving at Handongwei. He only brought Lord Chen and a few personal soldiers with him for an inspection. It seems they also went to Yulian River, but I didn't follow them and don't know what happened."
“…”
"All we know is that they encountered sandstorms when they came back."
"Sandstorm?"
"Yes, but the wind and sand are not strong, so there is no danger. It's just that after the emperor came back, his face was not very good, so he summoned me here."
Nan Yan frowned.
Sandstorms...
She knew that Zhu Feng had been tormented by a nightmare over the years. In that nightmare, there was yellow sand that covered the sky and almost suffocated him.
It seems that there was a sandstorm in his memory.
But, where is the wind and sand from, and what is in the wind and sand, are what he needs to retrieve.
Nan Yan pondered for a moment and said softly, "I understand."
She looked up at Xue Yun again and said, "You don't know when the medicine was stolen, do you?"
"yes."
Xue Yun nodded and said, "Yesterday, or rather the day before yesterday, the Emperor took me, Lord Chen, and me to inspect the Yulian River. After returning, I was so tired that I just rested. It wasn't until I woke up this morning that I realized the medicine was missing."
"So, from the day before yesterday to yesterday, and then to this morning, for two full days, you were not in your room for half of that time."
"yes."
Nan Yan sighed softly: "This is not going to be easy."
“…”
"Although the Duwei Mansion isn't a restaurant, with people coming and going, if no one saw it, it's hard to say who took it."
Xue Yun frowned and said softly, "Actually, medicine is not the most important thing."
Nan Yan looked up at her and said, "Hmm?"
Xue Yun said: "Although the preparation of the medicine is a bit complicated, the recipe is in my mind. Even if it is stolen, I can still refine it."
“…”
"However, it will take longer, and there are several precious medicinal herbs. I only brought a few with me. If I want to refine them again, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I return to the capital."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "That's fine. As long as the emperor needs it, someone will pick the stars in the sky."
Xue Yun said: "I just don't understand who stole the medicine and why."
“…”
Nan Yan also fell silent.
Yes, this is the most important thing.
There is only one possibility for stealing the medicine, which is to prevent Zhu Feng from recovering his memory.
However, logically, only the three of them knew about Zhu Feng's detoxification. Although Eunuch Yu, Xiao Shunzi and others had some knowledge of it, Eunuch Yu stayed in the capital, and Xiao Shunzi was Zhu Feng's confidant who had always been by his side. It was impossible for them and they dared not do such a thing.
Then who else?
Is there anyone who doesn’t want Zhu Feng to recover his memory?
He Yi? He also stayed in the capital, and it was impossible for him to reach Handongwei?
Who else is there in Handongwei?
Nan Yan thought for a while, then stood up and said, "I will explain this matter to the Emperor. You can wait for the news on whether or not to investigate and how to investigate."
Xue Yun said: "Yes."
"As for the medicine—"
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it after we return to the capital."
Xue Yun's eyes flickered as he lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Nan Yan nodded and turned to leave her room. Just as she reached the door, she stopped and looked back at Xue Yun. She said with a half-smile, "It's strange. The medicine was stolen, so why is the smell of medicine still so strong in your room, Doctor Xue?"
