Chapter 105 [VIP] Shadow Guard (19)
And according to the maids who came back to report the news, they cried, "Princess, please go and take a look. The prince has woken up, but he seems to be a little bit strange after waking up. Not only does he not recognize people, but he even dares to hit people."
"We originally wanted to help the prince change the medicine, but he was too fierce. He wouldn't let us touch him, and he wouldn't eat the food we brought him. I just moved a little closer, and he almost broke my arm."
When the princess heard the news, she was also very surprised. She immediately rushed to the courtyard with a large group of maids. She was so nervous that she didn't know what to say. Who knows how much this child must have suffered, and now he woke up in such a state. How could she not feel heartbroken?
Especially that day when she was wiping the wounds off his body, she saw the word "slave" clearly branded on the inside of the child's arm.
Tears flowed almost uncontrollably.
Her child had been a slave for more than ten years!
This was a piece of flesh that fell from her body. He should have been the most noble young master of the Pingnan Palace. He should have enjoyed a life of luxury, wealth and splendor, but her child had been missing for eighteen years...
He was born in her belly, and not only did he not have a single good day in his life, but he also became someone else's slave. I don't know how he survived these eighteen years, and what kind of life he lived?
When the princess thought about her own children having to fight hard to stay alive, and even having to protect some unknown masters and fight for them, she felt that it was more painful than having her heart cut out!
Thinking about these things, the princess led a group of people and quickly walked through the corridor to the courtyard. At this time, a chaotic and noisy sound suddenly came from the prince's bedroom.
"Don't touch me..."
"Where is this place? Who are you?"
The princess had good hearing. As soon as she entered the yard, she could vaguely hear a slightly hoarse male voice, and knew that the child's spirit had recovered well. She was immediately comforted in her heart. Thank God, her child was finally out of danger.
The princess immediately quickened her pace and took a few steps forward. The voices of the maids and servants begging for mercy and comforting her became more obvious.
"Prince, please calm down. We are just trying to help you change the medicine. We have no ill intentions."
"My Lord, please stop moving. I have asked someone to invite the princess. She will come to see you soon. You should lie down first and take care of yourself, otherwise the wounds on your body will open again..."
Seventeen couldn't hear what the maids were saying at this moment. He was so confused, his mind was blank, he couldn't remember anything, he didn't recognize anyone, and the unfamiliar scene in front of him made him feel subconsciously uneasy.
He vaguely felt that he shouldn't wake up in such a place?
Especially the crying maids and servants in front of him who were trying to get close to him, it really gave him a headache, it was more complicated than ever before, it seemed like countless blood vessels were tangled together in his head, making his brain chaotic and he couldn't remember anything. There was also a sharp pain in his chest, which made him instinctively feel repulsive.
At this moment, a maid boldly took a few steps forward, trying to help him up while he was trying hard to recall his past memories.
Ying Shiqi almost instinctively twisted the opponent's arm, and with a backhand, he grabbed the opponent's neck, and then pressed the person down on the table. He stared at her closely, and a trace of cold murderous intent suddenly leaked out of his eyes.
"Do you want to die? I told you not to touch me!"
The maid was immediately frightened and her face turned pale. She had never thought that the prince who had just woken up was so scary and really wanted to kill her. Her face turned pale and she trembled all over. She dared not resist and began to cry and shout, "Prince, please spare my life, please spare my life. I really have no bad intentions. I just saw that you were not feeling well and wanted to help you. I really have no other thoughts."
Ying Shiqi's head was aching from the crying again. It hurt so much that his mind was full of blank snowflakes and he couldn't remember anything. Especially when he looked at the trembling maid in front of him, his mind felt confused.
He threw the man towards the door with a backhand swing.
The maid staggered and almost fell to the ground. At this moment, the door was opened. When the maid saw who the visitor was, she knelt down obediently and greeted the princess while sobbing softly.
But the princess's attention was all on the young man in the room at the moment, especially when she saw that the child was rejecting and uneasy about the surrounding environment, and that the maids were not serving him attentively enough. She didn't notice that the wound on the prince's body was bleeding again, and he was still crying there.
The princess was distressed and angry, and immediately scolded him, "How can you cry so much?"
"I asked you to take care of the prince, and this is how you take care of him? Didn't you even see that the wound on the prince's chest was bleeding again? Now you still have the nerve to cry in front of this princess?"
"Shut up, everyone! If you dare to cry and make a fuss again, I will send you out!"
After the princess scolded them, the room suddenly became clean.
In fact, the group of maids were also frightened by Seventeen's ferocity. They never expected that the prince would be so unapproachable after waking up. There were a few brave maids who wanted to go up and re-bandage the prince's wounds, but they were grabbed by the neck and thrown out by the prince.
It was really thrown out, and the maid accidentally knocked over the rosewood treasure cabinet in the house. She was frightened and cried, and even her forehead was scratched and a lot of blood flowed...
These people were all little maids who had never seen much of the world. They had lived a stable life for a long time. Even if they made a mistake, they would at most be scolded by their master. How could they have seen such a bloody and brutal scene? They were so frightened that they lost their composure and couldn't help crying.
Fortunately, the princess arrived in time, otherwise who knows what would have happened. The prince seemed to have calmed down a lot. Seventeen didn't recognize the lady in front of him who was dressed in gorgeous and luxurious clothes, but the princess subconsciously took a few steps forward. Her eyes were a little moist, but her voice was soothing.
"Child, don't be afraid. Don't hurt yourself. This is the residence of Prince Pingnan. You are the long-lost prince of Prince Pingnan. I am the Princess of Pingnan, your mother..."
As the princess spoke, she reached out her hand to him. Her eyes, which were extremely similar to his, were now looking at him with loving care and tears of guilt. After waking up, the child looked even more like the Prince of Pingnan. The two were almost carved from the same mold.
After hearing what the lady said, Seventeen had a hunch that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He always felt that it shouldn't be like this, and there was a sense of disharmony here and everywhere, but he couldn't remember anything.
And don’t know why?
The body seems to instinctively reject anyone approaching!
It was as if the current environment made him feel very uneasy and empty in his chest, as if he had lost something very important, but he couldn't remember it.
The harder he tried to recall, the more intense the throbbing pain in his head became. The blood vessels on both sides were throbbing and screaming. The pain and confusion made him almost subconsciously knock over the vase on the table.
Seventeen's forehead was bulging with veins, and he clenched his fingers and immediately shouted at the other party, "I don't remember anything now, I don't know you, don't come over, and don't touch me!"
The princess stopped walking subconsciously, fearing that she would scare Seventeen. Especially when she saw the child suffering from a severe headache, her eyes were filled with worry and distress.
"Okay, okay, I won't come over and touch you..."
"I know you are unfamiliar with this environment, but this is definitely your home."
The princess was still trying to comfort her, "You were seriously injured. Your mother went through so much trouble to save you. Don't be afraid. The doctor said you were injured in the head. If you can't remember the past, forget it."
If you can't remember, forget it...
Seventeen felt a little better after hearing this. No one would allow themselves to continue in pain. Seventeen also found that as long as he didn't think about what it was like, the pain in his head seemed to be relieved a little.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Seventeen pursed his lips, covered his forehead and stepped back. At this moment, his heart was still confused. Although he had no memory, he didn't know why?
Looking at the loving eyes and actions of the lady in front of me, I knew that she was not lying and had no ill intentions towards me. I even felt an indescribable sense of closeness in my heart?
He doesn't know why?
He just looked at her subconsciously, and when the princess saw that her comfort was effective, her eyes suddenly became moister. Perhaps it was the nature of mother and child, she felt soft-hearted when she saw the child's moist eyes.
Over the years, she and the prince had spent countless efforts to find this missing child, and they had been disappointed countless times.
Now that he was actually standing in front of her, she felt as if she were dreaming, and was afraid that in the blink of an eye, this person would disappear again.
The princess subconsciously took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face, then reached out to Seventeen again, this time with a gentler attitude, "Don't be afraid, child, I really am your mother. The little mole behind your ear was marked by mother, and it was because of this mark that mother was able to find you..."
Perhaps her comfort was really effective, as Seventeen did not retreat this time, so the princess tried to take a few steps forward.
Seventeen frowned but did nothing.
He could feel the kindness of the man in front of him, as well as the love hidden in his eyes. All of this made him feel a little overwhelmed. He didn't know what was going on, but a very strange yet extremely intimate emotion suddenly surged in his heart, something he had longed for but never had.
The princess was still patiently approaching little by little. She stretched out her hand towards Seventeen, wanting to touch his face. Just when she was about to touch Seventeen's cheek.
Suddenly, a woman's gentle and soft voice rang out from the door. "Aunt, I heard that the prince's cousin has woken up. This is the medicine that the kitchen has just prepared. I brought it to you..."
It was this sound that interrupted the princess's actions.
The person who spoke was none other than the heroine in the original plot. In the original novel, Du Yuyan could be considered half the master of this palace.
Her father was once a vanguard general under the prince, but he died on the battlefield while trying to save the prince. Du Yuyan's mother was about to give birth at the time, and after accidentally learning the news, she suffered a dystocia and died after giving birth to Du Yuyan.
The prince and his wife felt deeply guilty about this, so they took the young and unattended Du Yuyan in and raised her in their house as a half-young lady. Later, Du Yuyan always called the princess "aunt", and the two families were considered to be related by marriage.
At this time, Du Yuyan didn't know what had happened in the house. She just passed by the corridor and saw the maids hurriedly going to the kitchen to get medicine. After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, she realized that it was the seriously injured prince who woke up and accidentally spilled the medicine, so the maids were a little anxious.
Du Yuyan didn't say anything. She took the medicine box from the servant and went to Seventeen's yard.
She had originally intended well and wanted to visit her injured cousin, but she had not expected that as soon as she entered the room, before she could even see the situation inside clearly, she would be grabbed by the shoulders and the hands were strangling her neck. The movements were so brutal and cruel that they seemed to kill her, leaving her no time to resist.
The people in the house did not react.
Seventeen's emotions had originally calmed down under the princess's comfort, but who knew that this sudden voice would interrupt his thoughts again.
At this moment, Seventeen seemed to be frightened, and his body instinctively wanted to control the stranger who suddenly approached the door.
And those hands subconsciously attacked the opponent's most fatal part. Naturally, the force was not light. If Du Yuyan was really hit by him, she would definitely be injured.
The princess was so shocked that she immediately shouted,
"Yanyan, be careful!"
It was this sound that made Seventeen stop abruptly.
Almost everyone thought that Miss Du was going to be injured. Even the maid beside her was frightened and turned pale. However, the prince stopped his actions after hearing the princess call "Yanyan".
Seventeen frowned,
He was a little confused at the moment, not knowing what was wrong with him, especially after hearing the word "Yanyan", a very strange emotion inexplicably arose in his heart, and his body instinctively did not want to hurt her.
He turned his head and looked at the other person. His pair of clear black and white eyes stared at her straightly. At first, his face was expressionless, but after staring for a long time, a hint of confusion slowly revealed in his eyes. He tilted his head, and then found that he still couldn't remember anything.
"Your name is... Yanyan?"
Seventeen hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked.
Du Yuyan was really scared by this man.
His face was still a little pale at the moment, but under the other party's careless gaze, the originally pale face gradually turned a light red.
This made her look away a little uncomfortably, then she nodded gently and replied in a gentle voice, "Um... my name is Yanyan. Does the prince have any impression of me?"
Seventeen pursed his lips, not knowing whether he knew her before, but at the moment, it was obvious that he had no impression of her at all. However, he didn't know why, but when he heard the name "Yanyan", his heart beat faster uncontrollably, and he subconsciously loosened his hand that had been holding her.
Seventeen's eyes fell on her face. The more he looked at her, the more confused he became. Finally, he couldn't help but asked in a muffled voice,
"Did I...know you before?"
Although he had no impression of her, he had a good impression of the name.
Du Yuyan was also a little confused now. She didn't know what the prince meant by saying this. Could it be that they had really met somewhere before?
As soon as she was released, the maid immediately stepped forward to support her. Du Yuyan rubbed her aching shoulder and looked at the princess beside her. The princess also had a puzzled look in her eyes. Her gaze moved back and forth between the two of them. Looking at her son's fixed gaze, she suddenly understood something in her heart.
Just as Du Yuyan was about to tell the truth, the princess suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, you know her. Of course you know her! Yanyan is your fiancée since childhood. How could you not know her?"
As she spoke, she winked at Du Yuyan, and then, in the other's surprised and shy eyes, she walked straight forward, took Du Yuyan's hand, and pushed her in front of Seventeen with a smile.
Seventeen frowned but didn't reject it.
I don’t know if it was because of what the princess said, or because he really had a special impression of this Miss Du.
The princess noticed that Shiqi had something special about Du Yuyan, so she immediately continued the conversation, "You have amnesia, so you don't remember it, but do you have an inexplicable, familiar feeling about Yanyan?"
Seeing that Seventeen's lips moved but he couldn't say anything, with a puzzled expression of "how did you know?" on his face, the princess could guess what was going on without asking.
Her child is really silly.
This is clearly love at first sight.
So the smile on his face deepened a little, and he quickly stepped forward and patted the back of Seventeen's hand, "This is it, this is your fate. You two have been engaged since childhood, so it is normal for you to have an impression of her. You must not accidentally hurt her again this time."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the prince treated Miss Du differently, and they couldn't help but start to wonder, this was really strange, it was obvious that any maid who approached him would be driven away by the prince before, but it was different with Miss Du coming, didn't this prove that the two of them were destined to be together?
Anyway, whatever the master says is what it is, and the maids under him naturally dare not say anything more.
Du Yuyan's cheeks turned red due to what her aunt said, and she was too embarrassed to say a word in rebuttal. After all, she was an unmarried woman at a prime age. How could she not react at all when being teased like this?
But after hearing what her aunt said, Du Yuyan felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know whether her aunt said this as a temporary measure or if she really intended to do so. But as a daughter, she couldn't help but let her wild thoughts come to her mind.
She raised her head again and glanced at Seventeen secretly.
When she raised her head, she happened to meet Seventeen's gaze. His eyes were clear and transparent, black and a little moist, and his gaze was unflinching and unconcealed, which made Du Yuyan feel a little uncomfortable. She looked away with a red face.
She also knew that this person was her aunt's lost child, but why did he look a little bit stupid?
Seventeen didn't know what this person was thinking. He just felt that the lady in front of him who claimed to be his mother had completely hit the nail on the head. When he heard the name, he felt an indescribable feeling in his chest.
So this person was his fiancée, but why didn't he remember anything? He lowered his head and thought gloomily, and couldn't help but whisper her name a few times.
"Yan Yan... Yan Yan..."
The princess standing by felt very happy now. Not only did she find her child, but she also had a daughter-in-law reserved for her.
