After Liang Shuyi and Shen Xin's wedding, Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou stayed at the Duke's Mansion for three more days before slowly returning to the capital. The journey from the Duke's Mansion to the capital would take more than a day at a fast pace, or two or three days at a slow pace. But as they happily returned, hand in hand, something seemed to be happening in Wang Yanzhou's villa.
When the housekeeper Qian from the other courtyard saw them coming back, he said, "Miss Tang, you're finally back," while arranging for people to take their luggage in an orderly manner.
Wang Yanzhou watched as Butler Qian greeted him and then kept staring at Tang Chen, as if something had happened. "What happened?"
Steward Qian said, "My lord, a few days ago, a wounded eagle landed in the young lady's room and wouldn't leave no matter how hard we tried. We saw a letterbox tied to its foot, so we thought it had an owner. We wanted to treat its wounds, but it wouldn't let us get close, and now it's dead yesterday. This bird had never been to our courtyard before, and we saw that it was unwilling to leave, so we thought it might be looking for the young lady, so we didn't do anything about it."
Hearing this, Tang Chen suddenly became a little panicked. "Could it be the Black Crow's delivery pigeon? Quick, take me to see if you've dealt with the things in the mailbox?"
"Hasn't moved yet."
After confirming that the eagle in front of him, whose body had already stiffened, was indeed the courier pigeon of Black Crow, Tang Chen suddenly had a bad feeling. After hurriedly taking out the small note from the mailbox, the hairs on Tang Chen's back suddenly stood up: "Yanzhou, look, look at this!"
Wang Yanzhou took the note from Tang Chen's hand and looked at it. His expression changed immediately: "Immediately, go check if there is any secret letter from Princess Qinghe. Quick!"
"yes!"
There were many words densely packed on that small piece of paper. The most conspicuous ones were Ouyang Ming's message and Black Crow's signal for help.
Tang Chen paced back and forth in the room, feeling uneasy. Finally, she came up with an idea: "I want to go back, immediately. He must not be in any danger. He is my only fellow countryman. Can you take me back with you?"
Wang Yanzhou didn't answer her, but just comforted her: "Don't worry, they have all gone to look for her, and there will be news soon."
Because Chen Xin and Liang Shuyi still had a lot of things to deal with, they delayed for a few days and only came back five days after Tang Chen and the others returned.
As soon as Liang Shuyi returned, she threw all her miscellaneous items to Chen Xin and ran to Tang Chen's room, carrying many boxes in her hands. This time, she did bring gifts. However, Liang Shuyi excitedly pushed open Tang Chen's door and saw Tang Chen sitting alone on a chair by the window. He looked not very energetic, and his eyes were red. The key point was that she had already walked up to him, but he didn't react at all.
Seeing that Tang Chen was like this, Liang Shuyi couldn't ask anything, so she simply put down her things, left quietly, and ran to Wang Yanzhou's study.
"Did something happen to Brother Black Crow?"
Wang Yanzhou and Shen Xin were a little surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
Liang Shuyi sighed helplessly: "When I entered the room, I saw Tang Chen sitting there crying with an eagle feather in his hand."
Wang Yanzhou rubbed her temples, put down her things, and prepared to go see Tang Chen. Ever since she learned about Black Crow's mishap, she'd been feeling restless. Furthermore, it had already been five or six days, and there had been no news at all. It wasn't just Black Crow; even the news from Qinghe County seemed to be deliberately intercepted.
As Wang Yanzhou was about to leave, Liang Shuyi stopped him and said, "No, you should let her cry for a while. Wait until she's almost done crying before leaving. Otherwise, if she sees us around, she might worry about us and become depressed."
“…I was watching over her at the window.”
"Um."
In Qinghe County, after Princess Qinghe brought her husband back to the Princess's Mansion with great fanfare, she sent out invitations to many famous and skilled doctors in the world to consult with Ouyang Ming.
After three days of comprehensive examinations and their opinions, the doctors all declared the patient unhelpful. The reason was simple: his legs were definitely broken, and there were no detectable symptoms of his amnesia, as if he were not ill at all. Since there was no illness, where could they begin? So, instead of prescribing a prescription, they simply wrote a few medicinal recipes and left them, before the doctors each returned home.
Seeing that these people were unable to provide a cure, Qinghe personally went to the old doctor Xiahou's house and asked him to come and treat Ouyang Ming. Seeing Doctor Xiahou coming out of the room, stroking his beard and looking worried, Qinghe hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is the prince consort's illness? Is there a cure?"
Doctor Xiahou shook his head and said, "This leg is an old injury. I'm afraid there's no way to cure it."
Qinghe didn't care about these things. The key point was that the person she had finally found was now with a stranger with the same face and name as the one in her memory: "So, his amnesia..."
Doctor Xiahou said, "The princess must have consulted many famous doctors before. My results are probably the same as theirs. If we can't find the cause of the disease, we can't prescribe the right medicine. In fact, the prince consort is in good condition now, and there are no sequelae of amnesia. Please forgive my incompetence. If the princess has any knowledge, why not ask someone from the Suwen School to take a look."
Qinghe knew that with Chen Xin's presence, there was still some hope. But now, the news sent to the capital had not yet been fed back, which really made people anxious: "It's easier said than done. Previously, there was news about Su Wen's disciples, but now, alas. Lian Qiao, send Doctor Xiahou back."
"yes."
Doctor Xiahou had lived in Qinghe County his entire life, so he knew something about Qinghe and Ouyang Ming's affairs. Seeing how worried she looked now, she was afraid she would collapse before Ouyang Ming's amnesia was cured. "Princess, don't worry too much. As long as he's alright, that's all."
"Thank you for your comfort, Mr.
After Lian Qiao sent Doctor Xiahou away, she first went to ask if there was any news from the capital before reporting to Qinghe: "Princess."
"Have Chen Xin and the others returned?"
Lian Qiao said: "Not yet."
Qinghe put down the cup in his hand heavily and said angrily, "What's wrong with Wang Yanzhou? He should have rushed back as soon as he received the news. It's been so long and there is no news at all."
Lian Qiao said, "I heard that Master Shen and Miss Liang Shuyi have already gotten married. I believe they will be back from the capital soon."
After hearing Lian Qiao's words, Qinghe realized that something was amiss. The news of Chen Xin and Liang Shuyi's marriage had already spread, but why hadn't Wang Yanzhou made any move yet? Since returning to Qinghe County, she'd been busy helping Ouyang Ming recover his memory, and hadn't paid much attention to it. Now, she thought, she might need to find someone reliable to help with this. "Lian Qiao, I have a feeling something's not quite right. Please be more careful these days."
"Lianqiao understands."
