Nie Fanchen was enraged. A trace of anger caused the sky above the capital to rumble with thunder.
All the officials looked up at the sky. Something big was about to happen!
Anger? His Majesty hadn't been angry for a thousand years. What could make him so angry?
A king's anger would cause millions of corpses to fall. An emperor's anger would cause millions of corpses to fall. Who knew how many people would die in the emperor's anger.
In the capital, Nie Fanchen gently stroked the bamboo flute. His eyes flashed with anger and reminiscence. After a long time, he suppressed the anger in his heart and slowly sat down.
He reached out and grabbed the jade slip in Zhong Shan's hand.
"You may leave. I will summon you again." Nie Fanchen said.
With that, the door to the main hall suddenly opened.
"Send him back!" Nie Fanchen said.
"Yes!" The old eunuch immediately responded.
Then, Zhong Shan followed the old eunuch with a trace of doubt.
When Zhong Shan left, the main hall suddenly closed again.
Then, Zhong Shan saw thunder rumbling in the sky above the capital. It was obvious that Nie Fanchen's anger hadn't subsided and he was venting his anger on the sky he controlled.
Thunder rumbled and the emperor was angry. In the capital, the number of people patrolling suddenly increased.
Every official didn't want the emperor's anger to implicate them. Thus, they quickly restrained their subordinates and stabilized the area. They mustn't cause trouble at this time.
Bamboo flute? Zhong Shan pondered in the Southern Ming Tribute Hall. Bamboo flute? An ordinary bamboo flute could affect the hearts of two emperors. The ancient sacred art was like that and so was Nie Fanchen. When the two saw the bamboo flute, their tender feelings were followed by anger.
Based on Zhong Shan's initial guess, he could only guess that it was a woman. This woman was so important that Nie Fanchen didn't even have the thought of asking about the elixir of life.
Shaking his head, Zhong Shan didn't think about it anymore.
The next day, Princess Qingqing's residence.
"Who are you?" The guard outside the residence asked.
"Please tell the princess that an old friend, Zhong Shan, has come to visit." Zhong Shan said.
"Zhong Shan?" The guard's voice suddenly became much louder.
Zhong Shan gently took off his cloak.
"Lord Dongfang, please come in. The princess has instructed us to report immediately if Lord Dongfang is here." The guard immediately rushed into the residence.
Zhong Shan was led to a hall inside the Princess Mansion.
Zhong Shan waited patiently.
In a courtyard within Princess Qingqing's residence …
Nie Qingqing and Tian Ling'er were looking at the red sparrow in front of them.
"Sister, what do you think happened to Little Red recently? Why do you always look so listless? You used to eat so much every day, but now you don't even have half of it left. "Ling'er said worriedly as she stroked the red sparrow.
"It should be fine!" Nie Qingqing also didn't understand and comforted Tian Ling'er.
"Reporting to the Princess, Duke Dongfang Zhong Shan requests an audience." A servant came over and said.
"Duke Dongfang? Zhong Shan? "Ling'er was slightly surprised.
"Ling'er, wait for me here." Nie Qingqing said.
"Eh, I also want to see Zhong Shan. I will go with you." Tian Ling'er immediately said.
"No, you have to look after Little Red. When I return, I will introduce you to him." Nie Qingqing said somewhat anxiously.
"Eh, okay!" Tian Ling'er saw Nie Qingqing's strange behavior and immediately said.
Nie Qingqing immediately left.
Seeing Nie Qingqing leave, Tian Ling'er rolled her eyes and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"Hmph, cheating my sweetheart. I want to see what kind of person Zhong Shan is." Tian Ling'er said mischievously.
Then, ignoring the red sparrow's protest, she grabbed the red sparrow that was eating and stealthily followed.
Zhong Shan sat in the hall and waited. Finally, after an incense stick's worth of time, Nie Qingqing took a deep breath and walked in.
"Princess Qingqing, where is Ling'er?" Zhong Shan immediately asked when he saw Nie Qingqing.
Seeing Zhong Shan's anxious appearance, Nie Qingqing's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.
"My people saw Ling'er enter your residence. I know she is definitely here. Where is Ling'er? Are you going to stop us? Do you want to go back on your word? "Zhong Shan anxiously said.
"Impudent!" Nie Qingqing's expression tightened.
"What impudent? Ling'er is clearly in your residence. Why won't you let us husband and wife meet? "Zhong Shan glared at her.
Seeing Zhong Shan's gaze, Nie Qingqing strangely said, "Husband and wife, Ling'er is not your wife."
"In the past, with the heavens as a witness, Ling'er is already my wife. Could it be that I can't see my wife? "Zhong Shan refused to budge.
Looking at Zhong Shan, Nie Qingqing sighed and said, "Today's Ling'er is no longer the Ling'er of the past."
"I only know that she is still my wife, Ling'er." Zhong Shan's expression became increasingly gloomy.
"But Ling'er has already forgotten you." Nie Qingqing shook her head.
"What's going on?" Zhong Shan asked again. Clearly, Zhong Shan had analyzed the information gathered by his subordinates that something had happened to Ling'er.
"She has lost all her memories of you." Nie Qingqing said.
Zhong Shan stared at Nie Qingqing, his expression somewhat abnormal.
At this time, Tian Ling 'er also stealthily walked to the entrance of the main hall. Looking in from the side of the door, she just happened to see Nie Qingqing talking to a man, and that man's back just happened to be facing her. Moreover, that figure was too similar to the figure in her dreams. Exactly the same, really exactly the same.
"Osmanthus cake!" Tian Ling'er cried out in alarm. This was the name that Tian Ling'er had given to that figure in the past.
Hearing Tian Ling'er's cry of alarm, Zhong Shan's body stiffened, as if his entire person was fixed.
Facing Zhong Shan, Nie Qingqing's heart also trembled. This was because Nie Qingqing saw that Zhong Shan's eyes suddenly couldn't stop two streams of tears from flowing down.
It wasn't that she had never seen a man cry before, but after her subordinates had gathered information on Zhong Shan over the years and understood Zhong Shan's general situation, and then seeing Zhong Shan shed two streams of tears because of the words' osmanthus cake '… This scene was too shocking. The impact on Nie Qingqing's heart would be unforgettable for Nie Qingqing.
Zhong Shan slowly turned his head, just in time to see Tian Ling'er stick out her small tongue, as if she had caused trouble. She timidly hid.
"Ling'er!" Zhong Shan affectionately called out.
Tian Ling'er thought that she had disturbed Nie Qingqing's good matter, and immediately prepared to secretly escape.
But Zhong Shan's call unconsciously made Tian Ling'er's heart tremble. An indescribable pain made Tian Ling'er frown. What was going on?
Why was the man in front of her crying? It seemed like deja vu, but she couldn't remember.
"Who are you? Why are you calling me 'Ling'er'? "Tian Ling'er looked at Zhong Shan in confusion.
"Who am I?" Zhong Shan felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
"Ling'er, don't you remember me?" Zhong Shan called out again.
"You're the 'Zhong Shan' that elder sister mentioned?" Tian Ling'er looked at Zhong Shan with confusion.
Nie Qingqing walked to the side. Since the two of them had met, Nie Qingqing could only sigh and not say anything else.
"I'm Zhong Shan, don't you remember?" Zhong Shan asked.
"I don't know you, how do you know me?" Tian Ling'er grabbed the red sparrow and asked with confusion.
"I'm your husband! I'm Zhong Shan! "Zhong Shan said again.
Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Tian Ling'er tightened her grip, squeezing the red sparrow's eyes until they were about to explode, with an innocent look on its face.
"You're not my husband, I'm not married yet. Elder sister, how can your friend be so rude?" Tian Ling'er immediately called out.
"Nie Qingqing, prove it. Tell Ling'er that everything I said is true." Zhong Shan immediately called out to Nie Qingqing.
"Ling'er, he's right!" Nie Qingqing said.
"I don't believe you. You're lying to me. How is that possible?" Tian Ling'er was incomparably flustered, her hands continuously clenching.
It didn't matter if Tian Ling 'er was panicking, but the red sparrow in his hand was suffering, suffering a great deal of unexpected misfortune. Nie Qingqing could only bitterly smile.
"Ling'er, don't you have a wooden carving? I gave it to you back then, do you still remember?"
When Zhong Shan said this, Tian Ling'er immediately remembered that she had a wooden carving of herself in her storage bracelet. The carving was very beautiful, but why didn't she remember anyone carving it?
"There's also that die. Do you still remember? That day in the casino, I lost a million taels of silver. In the end, because of that little die, I won it all back. Do you still remember? "
Tian Ling'er once again recalled that there really was a die in her storage bracelet. What was going on? Impossible. Although she didn't know why there were so many things, it definitely wasn't like what he said. It couldn't be his wife's.
Tian Ling'er shook her head, her face full of disbelief. She then looked at Nie Qingqing. She hoped that Nie Qingqing would tell her that everything wasn't true, but Nie Qingqing nodded.
"No, impossible. You're lying to me!" Tian Ling'er turned around and ran in fear.
"Osmanthus cake!" Zhong Shan called out.
When Zhong Shan called out, Tian Ling'er's body froze. This wasn't an instinct, but because when she heard Zhong Shan call out 'Osmanthus cake', her heart suddenly trembled.
While Zhong Shan was rejoicing, Tian Ling'er once again began to run, carrying panic and disbelief.
Zhong Shan was just about to give chase.
"No need. His Majesty sent people to protect her. You don't need to worry." Nie Qingqing immediately said.
"What's going on with Ling'er?" Zhong Shan turned his head, his eyes red as he looked at Nie Qingqing.
Nie Qingqing deeply sighed. Zhong Shan's previous impulsiveness also slowly calmed down. He had to figure out what was going on with Ling'er.
"What's going on with Ling'er?" Zhong Shan took a deep breath and slowly asked.
Nie Qingqing deeply looked at Zhong Shan and said, "Do you still remember that time when I brought her to the Phoenix Palace and she was reborn in flames?"
"Yes, I was rude just now. No matter what, thank you for bringing Ling'er back to life." Zhong Shan immediately bowed deeply to Nie Qingqing.
Zhong Shan clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges. Gratitude was gratitude, and resentment was resentment. This bow was absolutely sincere.
"When Ling'er was reborn in flames, she missed you too much. In order to save Ling'er, the Phoenix Race's Supremacy had no choice but to seal all of Ling'er's memories of you. Only then could she be saved in the end. "Nie Qingqing said.
"About me? Heh, seal, seal well. As long as Ling'er can come back to life, it's fine. Moreover, although she has forgotten me, she can't forget those feelings, can't forget that heartache.
