Chapter 100 What's your name?
Rong Chen's skills were astonishingly fast. Before Shu Wan could react at all, Rong Chen had already covered her mouth and she could not speak. Her nostrils were filled with warmth and her breathing was extremely difficult.
Shu Wan's first reaction was that Rong Chen wanted to kill her. After all, Rong Chen had lost his memory and became Chi Yan's imperial teacher. She had just spoken, but every word she said was an accusation of Chi Yan's crimes.
Rong Chen was only concerned about Chi Yan, and it was only natural that he could no longer bear it and wanted to kill her.
But Shu Wan is not the kind of person who will just leave everything to fate. If Rong Chen wants to kill her, she will resist.
So Shu Wan stretched out his hand and tried to tear Rong Chen's arm, hoping to get a chance of survival.
She wanted to call Yu Jianning to come in and save her, but her mouth and nose were covered tightly by Rong Chen, so she couldn't make a sound.
"Shh, don't move, there's someone here!" Seeing that Shu Wan was not cooperating at all and was making a threatening move, Rong Chen quickly whispered in her ear and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Shu Wan's struggling stopped all of a sudden, and she stared at Rong Chen with her bulging eyes, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Rong Chen didn't say anything else. Instead, he stretched out his index finger and quietly pointed in the direction of the roof. He signaled Shu Wan with his eyes to let her go and told her not to speak.
Shu Wan nodded silently.
Did she blame Rong Chen wrongly? Then she thought that Rong Chen's current status as the Imperial Master was given to him by Chi Yan after he lost his memory. With such a special status, he must have someone watching his every move, so she believed him.
Rong Chen let her go. The latter suddenly felt the air became much fresher. She breathed in deeply, feeling as if she had survived a calamity.
The two looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.
"I already know what Your Highness the Princess means!" Rong Chen suddenly regained his cold look and said, "Princess, please go back!" His tone was extremely distant.
"I..." Shu Wan pointed at him, seeming to be too angry to speak, "Once this princess makes a decision, there is no reason to change it. Imperial Master, just wait, I will make you marry me willingly!" At this time, if she didn't even have this little bit of foresight, then she really was not a qualified spy.
Well, it is quite exciting when you think about it. A spy sounds like a very high-end and classy profession.
"If it weren't for the emperor's order, do you think you and that idiot princess in the palace could enter my National Master's Mansion?" Rong Chen not only scolded Shu Wan, but also scolded Yuwen Zhu. The title of idiot princess made Shu Wan quite satisfied.
"I think she's a idiot, too!" Shu Wan had no awareness of being scolded. Instead, she joined Rong Chen in complaining about Yuwen Zhu. "How could she be so tactless? Look how well you and I match each other, and yet she has the nerve to get close to you every day. She's simply a giant light bulb!" She was so indignant that she almost went to beat Yuwen Zhu up to vent her anger.
"Light bulb?" Rong Chen had never heard of this term before, so he was a little curious for a moment.
Not only him, even Yu Wenyan, who was squatting on the roof as a eunuch, was confused. What was a light bulb?
"The meaning of the light bulb is, let's put it this way, for example, you and I, we are in love with each other, but there is a third person who is blind and insists on getting close to us and disturbing our private time to talk in private. This person is called a light bulb!" Shu Wan explained to him seriously, "How about it, do you understand?" Shu Wan blinked and looked at him expectantly.
"Who shares the same feelings with you?" Rong Chen looked at Shu Wan with cold eyes, "You are just being sentimental!" Sure enough, he was still very good at grasping the key points as always.
"Well, it's not important, it's not important, none of this matters!" Shu Wan was not discouraged. "The important thing is that you understand what a light bulb is. As for the two of us, we have a long way to go, right? Don't be so absolute. Who knows, maybe tomorrow you will think that marrying me is a very good choice... No, no, no, it's not very good, it's that if you miss me, you will regret it for the rest of your life!" Shu Wan said shamelessly.
"Has Princess Shuyin always been so confident?" In fact, what Rong Chen wanted to talk about was narcissism.
"Ever since I met the Imperial Master, I've felt that we are a match made in heaven!" Shu Wan supported her chin with her hand and looked at Rong Chen with an infatuated face.
"I am not a good match for the princess." Rong Chen looked away, not looking into her eyes. "His Royal Highness Prince Li and the princess are a perfect match, and Prince Li is deeply in love with the princess. Why does the princess insist on chasing after me?" When he said this, he gestured with his hand to tell Shu Wan to pay attention to the top of her head. His meaning was very clear.
"King Li! Alas!" Shu Wan understood what he meant and let out a long sigh.
Her long and distant sigh surprised Yu Wenyan on the roof, who knew how much she disliked him.
"Why are you sighing like that?" Rong Chen helped Yu Wenyan to figure out what he was thinking.
"I say His Royal Highness Prince Li, that's naturally great, he's handsome, rich, and a prince of a country. Most importantly, as you just said, he likes me very much! But!" Shu Wan praised him, "But you know what? Some people are only suitable to be friends, lovers, or couples. So, there's basically no chance for Prince Li and I." She shook her head, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, "Of course, there is another most important reason, that is, who told me to fall in love with you at first sight and to marry no one else but you, right? This proves that you and I are the most suitable match!" As she spoke, she brought the subject back to the topic.
"Princess Shuyin is indeed a person of true character. In this case, I will not hide it from you." Rong Chen raised a cup of tea and put it to her mouth. "It is impossible for me and you to be together!" She said firmly.
"Why?" Shu Wan adjusted his sitting position and asked unconvinced.
"I was accidentally injured a few days ago and then lost my memory. I don't remember anything that happened before!" Rong Chen looked at her and spoke word by word, "But I seem to vaguely remember that I am married!" He did not lie. He has always felt this way, and he doesn't know why he has this feeling.
Of course, he said this not only to Shu Wan, but also to Yu Wenyan who was on the roof.
Because of his previous injury, his strength had not recovered, so his strength was not as good as Yuwen Yan's. But now, he has recovered, so it is easy for him to hear Yuwen Yan's breathing.
He had reservations about what Shu Wan said.
But since Yuwen Yan is here, he will find something for Yuwen Yan to do, so that he can follow the clues to find out whether what Shu Wan said is true!
There was a faint voice in his heart that felt that what Shu Wan said might be true. He was originally very unfamiliar with the entire Chiyan Kingdom.
He listened to others telling him about his life in Chiyan and looked at his so-called mansion. Although he no longer remembered it, he felt it was very, very strange, without the slightest sense of familiarity.
On the contrary, what Shu Wan just said, Blackwater City, gave him a very familiar feeling. He felt that the most important thing in his life must be in Blackwater City!
"National Master!" Shu Wan was stunned for a long while, then called her in an exaggerated manner, "If you don't want to marry me, just say that you don't want to. Why do you have to say that you are already married? Really!" Shu Wan looked at Rong Chen with a reproachful look.
"I don't know why I have this feeling. Maybe it's an illusion!" Rong Chen nodded helplessly.
Shu Wan thought to herself, what an illusion, that person was just me. But then again, Rong Chen, you are such a hypocritical person. When you married me before, you treated me like a piece of air, almost like a bitter enemy. Now that you have lost your memory, you pretend to remember that you have a wife.
If it weren't for the extremely sincere look in his eyes, Shu Wan would have suspected that his amnesia was fake.
"I don't believe it!" Shu Wan shook her head firmly. "I will ask someone tomorrow. I just don't believe that if you are such a grown-up, if you have really been married, no one in such a big country like Chiyan would know about it. If you are really married, then I will not disturb you. But if I find out that what you said today is a lie, Master Imperial Master, I will definitely settle accounts with you!" Her arrogant and domineering look reminded Yu Wenyan, who was eavesdropping, of the first time they met her at the border, when she also looked spoiled.
Yuwen Yan couldn't help but smile.
"Okay!" Rong Chen nodded. "If Princess Shuyin can really help me solve the doubts in my heart, I will definitely thank you!"
"Okay, okay, but let me make this clear first." Shu Wan reminded him, "Such a great favor can only be repaid by the Imperial Master through her own body!" She felt that what she said was right.
"Princess, if you have nothing else to do, please do as you please!" Rong Chen automatically ignored her words. "A single man and a single woman in the same room, if it gets out, will damage the princess's reputation." He was ordering her to leave.
"That's perfect!" Shu Wan, however, didn't buy it. "It was the dead of the night, and I stayed in the Imperial Master's room for several hours. If people knew about this, the Imperial Master would have to be responsible for me. Isn't this what I want most? Thank you for reminding me, Imperial Master. After I go back, I will arrange for my servants to spread the news on the streets tomorrow, and try to let all the people in the capital know about this in the shortest time possible. In this way, we can be together legitimately!" At this time, Shu Wan was probably the only one who could say the word legitimately.
"It's unreasonable!" Rong Chen cursed.
"That means I'm right and the Imperial Master can't refute it." Shu Wan smiled.
"Princess, please!" Rong Chen was a little overwhelmed.
Hearing that he was not the only one talking to Shu Wan and that he was speechless, Yu Wenyan finally felt relieved.
So he got up and left quietly, thinking he hadn't disturbed anyone.
"There will be a poetry gathering tomorrow with His Royal Highness Prince Li, and the Imperial Master will also go, right?" Shu Wan suddenly asked.
"Yeah!" Rong Chen nodded. "The person has already left, stop pretending!" He looked at Shu Wan speechlessly.
Hearing this, Shu Wan suddenly relaxed.
"Finally left!" God knows how determined she was to say those words against her will just now. "Don't reveal any clues at the poetry gathering tomorrow, otherwise we will be in danger!" She warned Rong Chen with great concern.
"Hmm!" Rong Chen nodded reluctantly and agreed, "What I just said, that I seemed to be married, was not a lie. I really think so. Since you said you are my friend, do you know whether I have ever been married?" Rong Chen felt that Shu Wan should be able to give him an answer.
Shu Wan blinked and looked at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Yes, you were married, and I was the one involved. I’m just very sorry that we’re divorced, and it won’t help if you know about it now!
"No!" Shu Wan answered him affirmatively, "You have never been married. If you were married, wouldn't I not know? So you don't have a wife now, do you know?" He did have one before.
"Yeah!" Rong Chen didn't say whether he believed it or not. He nodded with his eyes slightly gloomy to indicate that he understood.
"Then I'll go first!" Shu Wan stood up and prepared to leave. If he stayed any longer, he really couldn't explain anything.
"What's your name?" Rong Chen suddenly asked her.
Shu Wan paused and was stunned for a moment.
"Shu Wan!" She felt there was nothing to hide, so she said it and went out.
Climbed out the window.
Rong Chen turned his head and looked at the figure disappearing through the window. He was upset for a moment and didn't know what to do.
After Shu Wan left.
"Feng Ling, do you know Blackwater City?" Shi asked Rong Chen thoughtfully.
"My lord, I don't know!" Feng Ling replied.
"Does it feel familiar?"
"No!"
"Think of a way to look up information about Blackwater City!" Rong Chen ordered, "Oh, and check the city lord of Blackwater City, and a woman named... Shu Wan!" He always felt that Shu Wan was hiding a lot from him.
"Yes!" Feng Ling pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"Remember to avoid the tail behind you!"
"I obey your command!"
…
"Little General!" On the way back, Shu Wan called Yu Jianning with a troubled look on his face.
"I'm here!" the latter replied.
"There's one thing I just can't figure out!" She stopped.
"What's the matter?" Yu Jianning asked her.
"You said Yuwen Yan spent so much effort to kidnap Rong Chen to Chiyan. What exactly did he want?" This is a question that Shu Wan still hasn't figured out. "Why take such a big risk when he can just kill him with a knife?"
"I think Emperor Chi Yan is also aware of this matter!" Yu Jianning answered the question irrelevantly.
"More than just knowing about it!" Shu Wan sighed, "This was planned by them father and son." Otherwise, it was just Yuwen Yan alone, not to mention whether he could have done it without anyone knowing.
Even if he wanted to openly place Rong Chen in Chiyan to be a crappy national teacher, would Yuwen Yan dare to do so without the approval of the Emperor of Chiyan?
Shu Wan didn't believe that there wasn't a huge conspiracy behind this.
"I seem to have heard of something, but I don't know if it has anything to do with Rong Chen being kidnapped!"
Can flowers still be flowers, can trees still be trees?
