After drinking some more wine, Murong Jiao became even more drunk.
The veil slipped off inadvertently, revealing a fair and delicate face.
"Jiaojiao? It's really you!
When he saw her, the man was stunned for a moment.
"You know each other? And you know each other very well?"
The woman was a little surprised, and her eyes cut into Murong Jiao's face like a knife.
However, Murong Jiao shook her head very slowly, "No, I don't know him. I have never met him before."
"That's good. I will definitely help you find the herbs!"
"Thank you very much, thank you very much, this kind man. Please accept this hairpin. I am already beautiful, so it will look great on you!"
"Hahaha, look at your sweet mouth, what you say is so pleasing!"
...
...
The woman laughed happily, and her delicate and beautiful face became even more radiant.
She was Muxi, the Saintess of Western Chu State, and the man beside her was none other than Xue Li, the young master of the Xue family who had been missing for more than half a month.
As night fell, Murong Jiao had just laid down in bed when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Ah, Sister Mu is too enthusiastic. It's the middle of the night. Could it be that you are here to discuss tomorrow's affairs with me?"
Murong Jiao got up, put on her clothes, and carefully pushed open the door, but was suddenly pressed against the wall.
Looking up, I was met with an elegant and handsome face and a pair of cold eyes.
"You are Sister Mu's sweetheart? Why are you here so late at night?"
Sweetheart? After saying this, a trace of pain flashed in Xue Li's eyes.
He closed the door, kissed Murong Jiao's lips domineeringly, and moved up and down on her body.
Pah! Murong Jiao gave him a loud slap in the face.
"Tell me, who are you and why are you so frivolous to me? Sister Muxi is a good person, how could you betray her!"
Murong Jiao grabbed Xue Li's collar tightly, hatred flashing in her eyes.
If it wasn't for Mu Xi's sake, I would really like to arrest the man and report him to the police immediately.
The light in Xue Li's eyes gradually dimmed, and he understood that Jiaojiao really didn't remember him.
He wandered around the outskirts of Beijing for many days just to see her and say goodbye to her, worried that she would do something stupid in a fit of anger.
Now, he found that there was no need to worry about this, and the one who really couldn't let go was himself.
"Okay, I understand. It's okay if you don't remember me. Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight."
"I understand. You can go now."
Murong Jiao nodded, and when she saw Xue Li turn around and leave, she carefully closed the door.
With her back against the door, Murong Jiao slowly slid down to sit on the ground. For some reason, her heart ached terribly, as if a knife was stabbing it.
I even wanted to cry.
"Who is he? Why can't I remember him? Could it be that the many things I forgot last time due to amnesia are also related to him?"
"Why, why would he do this to me? He clearly already has a sweetheart, Sister Mu!"
Knowing that she would have to get up early tomorrow to look for medicine, Murong Jiao locked the door and lay in bed, forcing herself to sleep.
But for some reason, he is still there in my dream, with a straight posture and a gentle smile.
Over there, Su Lili was still taking care of the patient, and the Queen Mother's condition had improved slightly.
Sitting in the old lady's arms, Su Lili picked up a snack and passed it to the empress dowager's mouth, "Here, this chestnut paste cake is so sweet, come and try it, Grandmother!"
One bite of it was so sweet that it went straight to the heart, making the old man laugh non-stop, and his laughter echoed throughout the huge Xishou Palace.
At this time, Murong Jiao suddenly strode over and took out a brocade box from her arms.
"Here, this is the legendary Ni Luo herb. I'm giving it to the Empress Dowager!"
I took the brocade box, opened it and saw that it was indeed Ni Luo vanilla.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, motioned for Murong Jiao to come forward, took off the jade bracelet from her wrist, and put it into her palm.
"Grandmother, such precious jewelry cannot be accepted by Jiaojiao!"
"Being able to cure the Royal Grandmother's illness is Jiaojiao's original wish, and she doesn't want any reward!"
Murong Jiao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the Queen Mother grabbed her hand and put a jade bracelet on her.
The slender white wrist looked even whiter and more beautiful against the backdrop of the jade bracelet, and the old man nodded with joy.
Murong Jiao thought of that man again and immediately told him a story, "By the way, I got help from two noble people on this trip to find medicine. One of them was very reckless and even touched me easily."
"Moreover, I actually felt that he was familiar, as if he was an old friend I had known for several years!"
Although it is familiar, I don’t have any memories associated with it. Of course, if there is no memory, then there is no memory.
"Haha, it's okay, since I've helped you, I'll just send you some rewards someday, it's no big deal!"
"Jiaojiao, come here, let me take a good look at you. Oh, you've become thinner, you should eat more meat!"
Listening to the empress dowager's mumbling, Su Lili couldn't help but stretching, and vaguely guessed something in her heart.
I heard that the Xue family executed Xue Li but he escaped. Could it be that the "lecher" that Murong Jiao met was Xue Li on the run?
This makes sense, but who is the other woman?
It is impossible to verify whether Xue Li is unfaithful or taking advantage of her.
[Alas, things are becoming more and more complicated, but now it seems that deleting the memory is still the right decision. It can protect both the princess and the fleeing young master of the Xue family! ]
[Speaking of which, the system of punishing nine generations of a clan should really be abolished. Countless souls have died unjustly under the sword! ]
Xue Li? It was him? This kid was still alive!
After hearing the inner voice, the Queen Mother was shocked and relieved at the same time, but she still did not show it on her face.
Worried about disturbing the old man's rest, Concubine Xian stood up holding Su Lili.
"Your Highness, I want to take Li Li for a walk so I won't disturb you while you are recovering from your illness."
"I'll bring her to see you another day."
The Queen Mother was already sleepy, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then go ahead. The weather is getting a little cold, remember to wear something warmer, don't catch a cold!"
"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. Li Li, let's go."
After the ceremony, Concubine Xian was carrying Su Lili on her way back. Suddenly, a lame Taoist priest came in front of her and was knocked to the ground with a cry.
"Master, Master, are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"
Behind Concubine Xian, a young palace maid immediately stepped forward to comfort her, and Concubine Xian also stopped and handed her a silver ingot.
"It is my fault for offending you, Taoist priest. Please accept this silver as compensation."
"Thank you, thank you, Madam. You are kind-hearted and will surely be rewarded!"
After expressing his gratitude, the Taoist priest left as quickly as possible. Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly found that Su Lili beside her had disappeared.
"Oh no! The little princess is missing. Find her now!"
The news soon reached the ears of Emperor Jian'an.
"Search, search thoroughly for me, close the palace gates tightly, and don't leave any corner untouched!"
