Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"My sister is coming."

"what?"

The second brother was stunned.

"I asked you before, if you have time to go to the north and pass by the Great Wasteland City. But you said you don't have enough time. You have to go directly to the capital of Leitania. You don't have time to go to such a far place."

"But you told your sister?"

"...You can't blame me for this. It happened to be September, and I had to help Sister Shu with the harvest. When the gentleman sent the message, it was natural that we knew about it at the same time."

Wang nodded.

It fits his imagination of performance.

"And then Shu will come over?"

"......Yes."

"You helped?"

"Um......"

"Entering the city from the north?"

"right......"

Wang nodded with satisfaction.

"Remember, I'm the only one being chased at this time - you don't have an alibi now."

The corner of Ji's mouth twitched, and he looked at his brother with an increasingly horrified expression.

His second brother just laughed with glee, raised his hand and tore open the [Golden Outer Shell] that Ji had made for him, then immediately increased his speed and ran away.

"—You made the choice yourself, my innocent and free brother."

Chapter 147 The Last Piece of the Puzzle

After putting down the documents in his hand, Qiao Yelan rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

In front of the Grand Tutor and the two prime ministers, he naturally had to appear to have everything under control - but in fact, the real situation in the capital of Dayan was not as easy to control as he showed.

The attitude of the Grand Marshal was beyond his expectations. Although their plan posed no threat to him, it greatly reduced the forces of Dayan that he could rely on - because the group of people united by the late emperor and the Grand Marshal were undoubtedly the best among the senior officials of Dayan.

And this group of people has been brought to the opposite side of themselves.

The most obvious example is that originally Yumen could rely on [Shuo] to build a bridge between itself and Pingchonghou, but this trick has now been blocked.

What's even more troublesome is that the Grand Tutor has just gained the trust of the Grand Commandant, and currently has no way of figuring out who exactly are in that small group.

This made Qiao Yelan, who was used to playing idle chess pieces, a little uncomfortable - because he could not continue to place chess pieces in the court of Dayan for a while.

Qiao Yelan was retreating in order to advance, but he didn't retreat completely. Therefore, for the sake of future considerations, he had to spend more time thinking about this - but fortunately, he had the cooperation of Ji and Wang. Although using Wang's chess pieces to do things was really trivial, it was believable.

He had to arrange all these as quickly as possible in the last few days before leaving the capital.

Qiao Yelan, who was resting with his eyes closed, sighed. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he smelled a very special smell.

Perhaps it was because the loss of vision enhanced his other senses, so he could clearly smell scents that were easily overlooked before.

It's like the fresh fragrance after breaking a straw in the sunshine after a heavy rain.

He looked up in confusion, and saw not a servant coming in, but a smiling woman.

His memory quickly helped him figure out the name of the woman in front of him.

"Millet?"

"It's me, Ye Lan."

Qiao Yelan paused. Just from this address, he knew that things would probably start to get bad soon.

You really didn't leave me any information about women.

Before he figured out why he had dug the hole last time, he had already consciously reduced his meetings with the few "female friends" recorded in the Babel Tower database.

That's why he decisively rejected Ji's proposal to go to Dahuang City to visit his sister. His purpose was to retain control over his body before figuring out his real plan.

So this guy is playing tricks on me, right?

Are male students also so disobedient?

You wait for me.jpg

------------------

"Ah."

Ji suddenly felt a chill for no reason, which made his steps heavier.

This feeling of impending disaster...

He patted his cheeks and forced himself to cheer up.

"For my sister, for my sister... It's okay, don't be afraid - for my sister."

------------------

"Why are you in the capital? Come in quickly. The capital has been a bit unstable these past two days. Don't let outsiders see you in the capital—the identity of the prime minister is a bit too sensitive at this time."

Qiao Yelan said in pretended surprise.

"Well, I know that even if the capital is stable, it would be troublesome if I was exposed and secretly left Dahuang City. But Ji said that he has arranged everything. As long as I don't cause any trouble, I will definitely be able to come in smoothly."

Shu smiled, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qiao Yelan.

"I'm sorry, I really can't spare the time, otherwise I would definitely go to Dahuang City to see you."

Qiao Yelan sighed and said apologetically.

"It's okay. I know you're busy—you're always busy."

Shu shook her head. She looked at the wheelchair where Qiao Yelan was sitting, frowned slightly, and stretched out her hand.

Qiao Yelan suddenly felt an extremely gentle force healing his body. The slight fatigue he had felt before had completely disappeared, and a tingling sensation spread from every part of his body.

"Strange...your leg doesn't seem to be injured."

"It's just a disguise."

The man smiled.

Only then did Shu retract his strength, with a hint of worry on his face.

"Disguise... Is your situation so bad now?"

"It's okay. It's just that this disguise can make other people less wary of me, so I keep it up."

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, Ji is already helping me, there's no need to drag you into this - are you used to the life in Dahuang City?"

"I've gotten used to it. I'm now one of the Tianshi instructors there, specializing in the cultivation of rice seeds. In addition to giving instructions, I also plant a few acres of land myself..."

The conversation between the two was relaxed and comfortable, and even Qiao Yelan was relaxed and immersed in this chat-like conversation.

It was not until the lights came on that the servants outside came to ask about the meal.

"Let me do it. You haven't been home for a long time, and I haven't cooked for you for a long time."

"Well, I really miss your craft."

After introducing Shu's existence to others, Qiao Yelan returned to being alone.

He watched the other person's figure disappear, and glanced at the clock beside him with some surprise.

When chatting with Shu, time seems to pass very quickly.

It seems that I have never felt so relaxed since I woke up.

There was no way he could indulge in this kind of [ineffective information exchange].

Just now was the only time he stopped in the past year.

Ah, has it been a year already?

From the Gemini coup last September to this year’s commemorative ceremony for the first anniversary of Gemini’s accession to the throne, a year has passed unknowingly.

He was either reading intelligence or scheming with others - except for sleeping, he never stopped thinking or absorbing intelligence.

"Maybe it's nice to take a break like this once in a while..."

He muttered to himself.

After that, Qiao Yelan did not continue thinking about the plan, nor did he continue reading the documents. Instead, he took this opportunity to take a short rest.

Then, I was awakened by the smell again.

Of course, the smell this time was much more complicated - it was the aroma of food.

"It's time to eat."

The woman changed her previous image and greeted Qiao Yelan happily like a little girl, handing him the chopsticks.

"Thank you."

"Well, try it, they are all your favorite dishes."

Qiao Yelan picked up the chopsticks and tasted each dish.

Shu was absolutely right—these were all his favorite dishes.

"Eat more. I brought a lot of rice from Dahuang City. It's enough for you to eat for a long time."

The man has already started eating.

He was really hungry.

Shu didn't pick up her chopsticks. She just sat opposite Qiao Yelan, looking at him happily, watching him wolf down his food.

This was probably the most relaxing and satisfying meal Qiao Yelan had ever had since he woke up.

"Thank you, Shu."

"If you like it, I'll make some more. You can heat it up tomorrow. Although the taste will be worse, it's a rare opportunity, so I'll make more - and some of the meat of pack animals that I pickled..."

Qiao Yelan listened to Shu's chattering seriously, much more attentively than when he listened to the tutor telling him about the plan.

"......That's about it. I'll go cook first. You can eat slowly. I'll be back to Dahuang City tonight."

"Are you going back today?"

Shu nodded.

"Well, Ji said he could help me cover it up for a while, but I think the longer it takes, the more flaws there will be. I don't want to cause him trouble. Besides, I'm satisfied to see that you're okay. I have a lot of time, very, very long, as long as you remain you."

"What if... I'm not actually me?"

Qiao Yelan said slowly.

"You mean, your amnesia?"

The man nodded.

"I know—it's just amnesia."

Shu said seriously.

"What I can't accept even more is losing you, Ye Lan."

Qiao Yelan was stunned for a moment.

"I am an immortal. At least I will not die until the Year Beast sweeps across this land again. My emotions are too heavy for a human's lifespan."

"I was really happy when you said that you could actually live a long time. Even though you would lose your memory, you would still be Qiao Yelan, you would still study hard according to your grades, and you would still like to eat the food I cooked."

She left her chair, walked to Qiao Yelan, and hugged him tightly.
