Chapter 804: 802_1

"My Royal Sister has been waiting for you for ten years and still refuses to marry." Shangguan Xuanyi thought for a moment and then said.

Xiao’er felt deflated! Aren’t words supposed to be spoken? This is after Jiang Yuheng lost his memory, she should have mentioned some of his interactions with the Fifth Princess!

"Brother Shangguan, maybe you could talk about the first time Young Master Jiang and the Fifth Princess met each other."

"Yuheng grew up with us, studying in the Southern Study Room. He and the Princess are childhood friends. I think the first time they met was in the Southern Study Room!" Shangguan Xuanyi had no concrete memory of this, he hadn’t paid much attention to the two of them at that time! He was so busy with studying martial arts and literature.

Xiao’er: "..."

Alright! She gave up! Oh, Fifth Princess! Fifth Princess, why aren’t you here! You should have come with us to Xiang Town. By now you’d be able to see the man you’ve been longing for, and it could help to stimulate the memory of certain amnesiac! Xiao’er thought.

She asked Shangguan Xuanyi to share stories of the Fifth Princess and Jiang Yuheng, but it seemed impossible. People’s brains are too complex, and it is unrealistic to expect instant recall of past events. Xiao’er gave him a pill: "This medicine is remarkably effective for treating old wounds, try it and see if it can cure your brain injury and help you recover your memories sooner."

If the blood clot in Jiang Yuheng’s brain could be removed, his memory should recover faster, right!

Jiang Yuheng looked at the pill in Xiao’er’s hand but didn’t move for a while.

Could he trust their words? After all, he didn’t remember anything and their words were just one-sided comments.

But his intuition told him they can be trusted. Besides, in his current state, there was nothing left to exploit!

If they were his enemies, they could just get rid of him secretly, there is no need for them to waste time talking.

With these thoughts, he stretched out his hand to take the pill and swallowed it quickly.

Pretty decisive, Xiao’er thought. The pill could heal, but she didn’t know if it could restore memory. Even in the 21st century, at the time of her death, humans had not figured out how to treat amnesia. The only option left was stimulation.

Xiao’er couldn’t help staring at Jiang Yuheng without blinking, wanting to see if the healing effects of the leaves of the Ashoka tree could help the complex brain recover from memory loss.

Noticing Xiao’er staring at Jiang Yuheng again, Shangguan Xuanyi’s face darkened and he coughed loudly.

Xiao’er turned and glanced at someone who was being petty: "I was just checking to see how the medicine worked. After all, it was first given to someone with amnesia, we need to know if it has any effect."

Jiang Yuheng: "..."

The first time it’s been given? These two seem quite reliable though! But right now, he had a nagging suspicion that he had been tricked!

Now he didn’t know if he will throw it up?!

While Jiang Yuheng was hesitating to induce vomiting, he felt his whole body lighten up a bit, especially his head. His headache that had been lingering ever since he woke up seemed to have lightened a lot. He had never felt this comfortable, maybe this was what it felt like to feel completely at ease!

"How do you feel?" After 15 minutes, Xiao’er couldn’t help but ask.

"I feel a lot lighter overall, especially in my head."

"Then it’s correct. It must be because the bruise in your head cleared up. Now, have you remembered anything?" Xiao’er asked with expectation on her face.

Jiang Yuheng thought about the jade pendant in his arms and asked, "Princess Rui, does the Fifth Princess’s name contain the character Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao’er’s eyes lit up: "Indeed it does, the name does contain Yan, have you started to remember?"

Jiang Yuheng shook his head, he took out the jade pendant that he always carried around: "This is the pendant that I have been carrying with me all the time, it has the character Yan carved into it."

Shangguan Xuanyi took the jade pendant and looked at it: "This is the Princess’s pendant. We all received a pendant inscribed with our names from the Emperor when we were born. I remember this pendant was given to you by the princess when you went to war, she wanted you to come back safely."

Finally, Shangguan Xuanyi said something that had a bit of reminiscence, although it was mentioned in a very casual way.

In Jiang Yuheng’s mind, an image of a young girl appeared at that moment: "Brother Jiang, this pendant was consecrated by Master Yunfa, it can protect people and ensure safety. I’m giving it to you, and you must come back safely."

He took the pendant, and then secretly held the girl’s hand: "Alright, wait for me to return, then we will be married."

The girl blushed and lowered her head, whispering:"Okay, I will wait for you."

Then he walked to the front of the long line of soldiers, got on his horse, turned back to wave at the girl, not looking back as he rode away.

The memory fragment ended there.

"Fifth Princess." Jiang Yuheng blurted out.

"Did you remember something?" Xiao’er asked anxiously.

"I remembered the scene when the Fifth Princess gave me the jade pendant. She hasn’t gotten married yet?" Jiang Yuheng’s heart ached, just this one memory alone caused him immense pain.

"No, the Fifth Princess refused to marry. She said she believes you are not dead, and that she is waiting for you to come back. None of us believed her, and the Emperor, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager all grew anxious over this, but yet they could do nothing!"

Jiang Yuheng couldn’t help but cover his heart. He didn’t know why his heart hurt so much. He had only remembered one scene, but the girl in it caused him great sorrow. He told her to wait for him, and she agreed. An actual princess had been waiting for him for ten years! And she even planned to keep waiting, such deep affection!

He felt incompetent to deserve such love, he felt terribly ashamed!

Seeing that he was finally able to recall something, Xiao’er shook Shangguan Xuanyi’s arm hastily: "Brother Shangguan, it worked! Quickly tell him more about Young Master Jiang so that he can recover his memories more quickly!"

"Let me think." Shangguan Xuanyi felt dizzy from being shaken by Xiao’er. It wasn’t his story, how could he recall it clearly?

"You once lost a bet with the second prince and cut off the Tutor’s beard while he was sleeping. You were then spanked by our father in front of everyone. Do you remember this?"

Xiao’er: "..."

Jiang Yuheng’s mouth twitched, he shook his head. It was such a glorious story, definitely something he’d like to forget for the rest of his life!

He didn’t recall this event either? This was the event Shangguan Xuanyi remembered most clearly. He thought a bit more:

"You once chased a thief and broke into a room where a woman was bathing. Her husband had just finished slaughtering a dog and upon hearing his wife’s screams, threw a basin of dog’s blood over you!"

Jiang Yuheng: "..."

Could you recall something pleasant? Who would want to remember these things?!

"Pfft!" Xiao’er couldn’t help but laugh.

But dear, is it really good to expose people’s past mistakes like this?

"Any more?" Xiao’er asked spiritedly after laughing.

Jiang Yuheng: "..."
