Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: if Wangchen also harbored special feelings for Hua Hua, then bestowing an imperial marriage decree upon them might be a correct decision.

Doing so would not only fulfill the love between these two people, but could also make Wangchen even more loyal and devoted to her.

This idea gradually took root and sprouted in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upward slightly, revealing a faint, barely-there smile.

After all, both Wangchen and Hua Hua were her capable Anqi; even after starting a family, they would still serve her wholeheartedly.

Just as Qianqian was lost in wild thoughts, Wangchen had already finished drinking the water, and Hua Hua took the cup in passing, placing it gently on the table.

This action brought Qianqian back to her senses; she collected herself, looked at Wangchen, and asked, "Wangchen, have you remembered anything?"

Wangchen shook his head with a puzzled expression and replied, "No, I can't remember anything at all."

Hearing Wangchen's answer, a complex mix of emotions welled up in Qianqian's heart; she didn't know whether she was ultimately disappointed or relieved.

However, immediately after, she recalled what Yan Jie had said — her own younger brother's medical skills had always been superb; since he said Wangchen would recover his memory upon waking, it should be so.

But another sentence from Yan Jie lingered in her mind — "Is it that he truly hasn't remembered, or that he has remembered but is unwilling to tell you?"

For a moment, Qianqian was also somewhat at a loss, not knowing whose words to believe.

After thinking it over slightly, she ultimately decided to trust her own younger brother.

So she cleared her throat and said, "Mantou, Hua Hua, you two withdraw first."

Mantou and Hua Hua exchanged a glance; though puzzled, they quickly acknowledged and turned to leave, without the slightest hesitation.

Wangchen stood to the side, secretly pondering. He felt something was amiss — could it be that Master had already begun to suspect him? However, his face revealed no abnormality; he still maintained a calm and composed appearance.

Qianqian looked at Wangchen, the corners of her mouth curving slightly, and said with a seeming-smile-yet-not-a-smile, "Now that there are no outsiders, speak the truth."

Wangchen's heart tightened; though he wondered inside whether Master already knew, he still decided to make a desperate struggle, so he feigned confusion and asked, "Master, what matter are you referring to? This subordinate truly doesn't quite understand your meaning."

Seeing this, Qianqian wasn't anxious either; she spoke slowly, "What I'm having you speak of is naturally the relationship between you and Ouyang Qianqiu."

Hearing this, Wangchen was violently startled inside; he couldn't help but be secretly amazed — how did Master know about this matter?

Qianqian had originally only felt that Wangchen had connections to Nan Liang or Xishang Kingdom. Since Nan Liang no longer existed, Qianqian could only use Xishang Kingdom to bluff Wangchen; she hadn't expected that Wangchen would actually take the bait.

Hearing Qianqian's words, Wangchen's face instantly turned deathly pale; he never imagined his true identity would be seen through so easily by Qianqian.

His lips trembled slightly, wanting to say something, yet discovering he had completely lost the ability to speak.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if deep in thought; after a good while, he slowly said, "Master, please give this subordinate some time; this subordinate guarantees all matters will be handled properly, and this subordinate will forever be your most loyal subordinate."

Hearing this, though Qianqian still had some doubts, she couldn't press further. After all, everyone has their own secrets and unspeakable difficulties; since Wangchen was unwilling to speak, she didn't want to force it.

"Mm, mm, alright then, I'll give you some time to handle things. But remember, since you've already become my subordinate, you absolutely must not have any behavior that betrays me. If you can properly handle all matters, I can let bygones be bygones." Qianqian's voice carried a sternness and authority.

Seeing this, Wangchen hurriedly knelt on one knee and said solemnly, "Master, please rest assured; this subordinate will absolutely not betray your trust!"

After Wangchen withdrew, Qianqian's mood did not relax because of it. She began to ponder Wangchen's identity — just who was this Wangchen?

What forces lay hidden behind him? Keeping him by her side — was it a blessing or a curse?

The more Qianqian thought, the more she felt things were complicated; however, judging from Wangchen's usual conduct, he was loyal and devoted to her, perhaps truly usable. It was just that the risks involved still needed further observation and assessment.

Just then, a burst of crisp footsteps sounded; a Yatou hurried into the room and reported to Qianqian, "Miss,."

Before long, Yan Jie walked in with light steps. The moment he saw Qianqian, a teasing smile immediately surfaced on his face, and he joked, "Elder Sister, looking at your worried frown, could it be you're fretting over that Wangchen? Has he recovered his memory?"

Qianqian glared at him in annoyance and chided, "As if you know everything!"

However, she couldn't help but sigh, then continued, "What you said is right; he has indeed recovered his memory, but he refuses to tell me. You say, what should I do?"

Yan Jie stroked his chin, pondered a moment, then slowly said, "Elder Sister, in my view, you might as well first observe his words and deeds, see if there's anything abnormal. Then make a corresponding decision based on the actual situation."

Qianqian listened and felt Yan Jie's words had merit, so she nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Yan Jie continued, "I came over because I felt the time was about right; he should be waking up soon, so I came to check. Since there's nothing now, I'll head back first." With that, he bid farewell to Qianqian and left.

Qianqian watched Yan Jie's retreating figure, secretly pondering his suggestion.

Three days later, Qianqian was reading intently in the Shufang when suddenly a black shadow flashed out like a ghost. She fixed her gaze — it was Wangchen.

Wangchen bowed with hands clasped, extremely respectful, and said, "Master, this subordinate has some private matters to attend to, and hopes Master will approve."

Qianqian said softly, "Mm, when will you return?" Wangchen hurriedly replied, "This subordinate will handle matters as quickly as possible, roughly three to four months." Qianqian frowned slightly, gave an "Mm," seeming somewhat dissatisfied with this timeframe, "It'll take that long?"

Wangchen hastened to explain, "Yes, Master. This matter is rather complex and requires some time to handle." Qianqian also understood in her heart that Wangchen surely had his own plans, so she didn't pursue the questioning further, merely saying indifferently, "Alright then, go on; the sooner you go, the sooner you return."
