Xia Ying Shen's sudden movement of sitting up straight made everyone in the room look at him, including Xia Tian Meng who had a confused expression.

  "Father, what's wrong?" Sun Guan Jia whispered in his ear, she naturally shouldn't have been able to hear.

  Xia Ying saw Xia Tian Meng like this, pursed her lips: "An old friend has come, it's okay." Reached out to touch her long hair to comfort her, Meng Meng had just accepted him in this way, he didn't dare or want to make her disgusted with himself again.

  Xia Tian leaned her head and smiled at him, saying: "Dad, don't need to accompany 'daughter', you go entertain the guests, 'daughter' has someone taking care of her here!"

  The maid nodded hastily, then suddenly asked with a hint of hesitation: "Miss, do you really not remember us?" They had served the miss for so many years, and it was heartbreaking to be suddenly forgotten.

  In the summer, Meng looked at them and then at Xia Yingxin, smiling to comfort them: "It's okay, after such a long time, you will eventually recognize each other."

  Xia Yingxin smiled and patted her head, he actually thought that every thought of his daughter after losing her memory could be seen on her face, just like she felt guilty for seeing the difficulties of Chen Yu and Lin Xixi, so he comforted them. Because of her innocence, it was rare.

  Nan Qi looked at Xia Tianmeng, who seemed very satisfied due to Xia Yingxin's comfort. This young woman had become completely different from before. There was no more coldness, no more desolation, and no more loneliness. All that remained was pure contentment.

  What she just said is that it will always be recognizable, but not necessarily remembered.

  She never thought of going back to recall the past.

  Also noticing this, Chen Yu asked hesitantly: "Miss, don't you want to recover your memory at all?"

  In the summer, Meng looked at her and knew she was worried. Her face was full of confusion: "If it's already forgotten, then it must not be an important memory. Why remember it again?" She turned her head to look at Xia Yingxin, her moist eyes full of doubt, "Dad, isn't everything okay now?"

  Xia Yingxin was worried that Xia Tianmeng would want to know about her past memories when she asked the question, but now looking at her like this, she felt relieved instead. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her cheeks: "It's fine now."

  If it could always be like this...

  Sun, the butler, who was waiting on the side, was secretly anxious. The emperor had arrived, but Master was still not making a move! However, seeing that Master and Miss were having a rare harmonious relationship, he didn't dare to interrupt. He could only hope that the emperor wouldn't get angry because of the delay!

  "What's wrong with this?"

  The sound arrives before the person does.

  The eunuch Su Yingwen, who was following behind Emperor Wei's sedan chair, was about to shout "The emperor has arrived" when he saw Emperor Wei glance at him and hastily shrunk his neck, suppressing the sound back into his throat.

  Everyone in the house hurriedly knelt down to welcome: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live..."

  Wei Ruo helped up Xia Ying Shen, who was a beat late, and held down Xia Tian Meng, who had not yet gotten out of bed: "No need for courtesy, Mengmeng is unwell, so let's dispense with it." Only then did he speak to the others, "Everyone can get up now."

  Nan Qi's lips were slightly pursed, suppressing the discomfort in her heart. Only then did Wei Wu Emperor help up Xia Ying Shen and turn to smile at Xia Tian Meng: "Meng Meng, what's wrong?" Only Xia Ying Shen, who was extremely close to him, sensed his tension and couldn't help but feel both amused and distressed - this emperor, who would actually become nervous because of a little girl, yet it was also because of her.

  He felt guilty towards his daughter and also asked Ah Tuo to coax her together.

  Xia Tian Miao looked up at Wei Wei, blushing and smiling: "Dad said I was temporarily chilled and hurt my brain, now I don't remember anything." After finishing, she seemed to feel embarrassed, and then pulled Xia Ying Shen's sleeve down again.

  Wei Yi almost couldn't hide the astonishment on his face, if Xia Ying didn't pull him back he might have even shouted out in surprise! In the afternoon he was still talking about how disgusting Momo was, but by night he didn't remember anything?

  Does she not remember Ah Xin and her own past? Does she not remember why Mrs. Choi died?

  He turned his head to see Xia Ying Shen looking at Xia Tian Meng with a gentle gaze, and he understood that Meng must have really forgotten. Because Ah Shen hadn't been able to get close to Meng like this for many years, there was too much distance between them.

  This time's amnesia isn't such a bad thing, is it?

  Thinking so, Wei Ruo couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy and gently stroked Xia Tianmeng's long hair: "It's okay, it's good like this now." This way, he wouldn't say anything hurtful, and he wouldn't do anything that would make Ah Xing sad. This Momo was the one in his impression. It was enough like this.

  "Taifu, I don't know if you have time to chat with me for a moment?" Emperor Wei saw Xia Tianmeng's gentle expression and smiled at Xia Yingxin, seemingly unaware of his sudden stiffness. He patted Xia Yingxin on the shoulder, "I have something to discuss with you, it's about this southern flood disaster."

  Nan Qi heard this and looked at them, then lowered his head. The flood in the south had been troubling the emperor for several days, and the officials in the court had different opinions. The emperor had not expressed his views, so it was rare for him to come to find Xia Taishi so late at night, which made Nan Qi think that there must be a reason why Xia Tian Meng was so favored by the emperor. Thinking of this, he looked at Xia Tian Meng again and saw her leaning against Xia Ying Shen with a happy smile on her face.

  Xia Ying looked at Xia Tian Meng with some hesitation, he had lost once before and this time he really didn't want to quarrel with his "daughter" again because of anything. It was not easy for Mengmeng to forget the past, forget the hatred, and treat him as the closest person, he didn't want to lose Mengmeng again.

  In the summer, Meng saw Xia Ying Shen looking at herself, with a puzzled raised eyebrow: "Dad, since the emperor is discussing national affairs with you, you can go! Daughter doesn't mind, I can still pay my respects to you tomorrow morning!" As she spoke, she nodded, looking exceptionally innocent.

  Xia Yingxin smiled and patted her face, nodding "good", then reminded Chen Yulou to be careful before leaving with Weixie Emperor.

  When Xia Yingxin and Wei Jue Emperor left, Chen Yu brought an awkward glance to Nan Qi. The daughter's boudoir was not suitable for men, but Xia Yingxin's identity as a father, Wei Jue Emperor as the emperor, and Nan Qi as her fiancé made it seem like no big deal. Now that Xia Yingxin and Wei Jue Emperor were gone, it was hard to explain why the crown prince was still here...

  Nan Qi also sensed this and smiled as he slightly nodded at Xia Tianmeng: "Since Miss Xia is not seriously injured, I'll take my leave first."

  Xia Tian Miao smiled as she looked at him, her bright eyes filled with a hint of strangeness: "I won't see you off from afar."

  Nan Qi turned around and left with a faint stumble in her footsteps.

  He didn't understand what was going on and why Xia Tian Miao was being distant with him, it made him feel inexplicably sad.

  Wasn't he eager to get rid of her all along to prove that he had broken free from his shackles?

  "Grandfather, Ninth Grandfather he..." Wang Xi saw Nan Qi's cold face and couldn't help but remind him that the people from the General's Mansion who had just left in a hurry didn't know yet!

  Nan Qi hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Forget it, have someone go to the General's residence and inform Ninth Brother. I'll visit him again tomorrow." Only after speaking did he recall that Old Nine had been severely injured by Xia Tianmeng just today, yet Xia Tianmeng seemed to have forgotten...

  How miserable should Lao Jiu be?

  Dividing line----

  "You guard outside." Wei Zongyan instructed Su Yongwen before entering the study, "No one is allowed to enter." It was because of these lazy slaves that Mrs. Cui was able to enter the study without being announced that year. Although he later had all the attending slaves flogged to death, the consequences could not be erased.

  Xia Yingxin looked at him and then pushed open the door and went in.

  Wei Ai Di also followed in and casually closed the 'door'.

  "Ashen." Weizhi Emperor reached out and grabbed his hand that was about to light the crystal lantern, in the darkness any sound was exceptionally clear, just like the two people's heartbeats at this moment.

  Wei Ai Emperor held him in his arms, with a sigh: "A Shen, I miss you so much." Only when he really hugged him did he realize how heavy the suppressed thoughts were! He missed him so much, yet had to suppress it, afraid that if he showed even a hint of emotion, he would lose control! He couldn't expose this matter, as it was a scandal for the throne, but in terms of harm, it wouldn't be too great. However, A Shen, whom he deeply loved, would certainly not escape death.

  Xia Ying slowly withdrew his hand, his straight back making him look frail yet resilient. He listened to the breathing beside him and struggled to speak: "A Tu, let's... end it." He agreed to this private talk just to make things clear.

  Wei Ai's body stiffened, and he grasped Ashen's shoulders, asking in anguish: "Why? Why Ashen? We've been together for so many years, and everything has always been fine. I didn't care that you got married and had children, I even personally chose a wife for you! After all these years, why are you suddenly saying it's over?"

  Xia Yingxin looked at the blurry outline of him in the darkness, suppressing the desire to touch his cheek, her voice dry and soft: "A Tu, can't go on like this, paper can't wrap fire! If we continue like this, others will find out sooner or later..."

  "Do you care?" Wei Zhi cut him off, shrugging his shoulders and staring at him stubbornly. "When has Xia Ying Shen ever cared about others' opinions?" The proud son of heaven, Xia Ying Shen, had never cared about others' opinions before. Hadn't he said that as long as he was comfortable with himself, that was all that mattered?

  "I care." Xia Yingxin spoke up, her dark eyes shining with a moist luster in the darkness. "A Su, I don't mind how others see me, but I do mind how they see Mengmeng. I won't let Mengmeng bear the brunt of my mistakes and be hated by everyone. She should be loved and admired by all, not despised. A Su, we can't go on like this... Mengmeng has finally forgotten everything, I don't want her to remember again and still hate me!"

  Wei Ai Di suppressed his somewhat out-of-control movements, staring at him with a steady gaze, his eyes still clearly visible in the darkness.

  There is only silence and the sound of breathing in the air.

  Wei Wei's bitter smile, before Xia Ying could speak again, suddenly lowered his head and 'kissed' his 'lips', frantically biting, with the urge to die together.

  It wasn't until his mouth was full of blood that he stopped moving.

  He panted, licking his lips a little, and said hoarsely: "Ashen, I can't let you go."

  A warm liquid dripped onto Xia Yingxin's cheek.
