Su Fuliu looked up at Xiao Shixun, her face blank: "Who are you?"
Chapter 554 You guys know what's good for you
Xiao Shixun was taken aback, quite surprised.
Physician Xing quickly bowed and explained, "Your Majesty, this young master has hit his head and has lost his memory..."
Su Fuliu got up from the ground, stood in front of Xiao Shixun, tugged at his sleeve, and asked, "Who are you? Where is this? Why won't they let me out? I don't want to stay here. I want to go out and play. Can you take me out?"
“I… am your brother.” Xiao Shixun thought that Su Fuliu’s amnesia seemed to be a very good thing.
Su Fuliu's eyes lit up: "Really? You're my brother? Then brother, can you take me out to play? It's so boring here, I want to go out, but they're stopping me and won't let me out!"
“Of course they wouldn’t dare let you go out, because you can only stay with your brother, and only your brother can take you anywhere,” Xiao Shixun replied.
Su Fuliu nodded obediently: "I understand, but brother, I don't have any shoes or socks. Could you ask someone to find me a pair? I can't go out barefoot, can I?"
"No need, brother will carry you, you don't need to walk." With that, Xiao Shixun picked up Su Fuliu in his arms.
"Brother is so kind, I don't have to work so hard anymore." Su Fuliu smiled and wrapped her arms around Xiao Shixun's neck, swinging her toes happily, the jade bells ringing out intermittently.
Seeing Su Fuliu like this, Xiao Shixun also laughed. If he had known that Su Fuliu would be so obedient after losing his memory, he would have found a way to erase his memory long ago.
Then, as if he had just thought of something, Xiao Shixun asked, "Will his memories return?"
Imperial Physician Xing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it seems very difficult at the moment."
Xiao Shixun then said, "I think you should have already recognized who he is, right?"
Physician Xing and the others trembled and lowered their heads in unison.
"Your Majesty, I have a wife and children at home, so I dare not say anything out of turn. Please rest assured," Physician Xing replied.
Imperial Physician Qu and Imperial Physician Zhang replied in unison, "Your humble servants agree."
Xiao Shixun snorted coldly: "You guys know what's good for you."
"Brother, I want to go out and play, go out and play!" Su Fuliu couldn't wait and twisted her body.
"Okay, let's go out and play." Xiao Shixun glanced at Su Fuliu in his arms, smiled, and carried him out.
But as soon as she stepped out the door, Su Fuliu quickly covered her eyes: "It hurts, brother, my eyes hurt, the light is so bright!"
Xiao Shixun immediately turned back and found a white veil to cover Su Fuliu's eyes: "Okay, this way it won't be glaring."
After saying that, he carried Su Fuliu out of the warm pavilion again.
Qin Shi felt a pang of heartache when he saw Su Fuliu with her head wrapped in gauze, but when he saw Su Fuliu so intimately wrapped around Xiao Shixun's neck, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"Where does Jing'er want to go?" Xiao Shixun asked.
"Hmm... I want to go everywhere, but I'm not familiar with this place, so I can only go wherever my brother takes me," Su Fuliu replied.
"Then, how about I take you to my place to play first?" Xiao Shixun asked again.
"Okay! Let's go quickly, brother!" Su Fuliu said happily.
Then, Xiao Shixun carried Su Fuliu towards his bedroom.
On the way, Su Fuliu coughed every now and then, her toes, which had been dangling, curling up involuntarily from the cold: "Brother, my feet are cold, cough cough..."
"Then hurry up, brother, we'll be there soon," Xiao Shixun said, quickening his pace.
Qin Shi, who was following behind, narrowed his eyes slightly, his anger barely concealed. How could A Liu's cough possibly get better if things continued like this?
Chapter 555 Lover
Xiao Shixun carried Su Fuliu to his bedroom, which was also warm, though not as warm as the heated pavilion where even the floor was warm.
He put Su Fuliu down, and Su Fuliu immediately took off the white veil in front of her and started to wander around.
"Is this where my brother lives?" Su Fuliu looked around curiously, glancing at this and that.
"Hmm, you like it here?" Xiao Shixun asked in return.
“I like it.” After saying that, Su Fuliu couldn’t help but cough twice. He went to the desk and looked at the folded books. “I don’t know why, but I feel a sense of familiarity when I see these booklets.”
“Of course you’ll feel a sense of familiarity.” Xiao Shixun walked over.
But as soon as he reached the desk, Su Fuliu ran to the bedside and sat down. He patted the mattress and said, "Brother's bed is big and soft. It must be very comfortable to sleep here."
"Then why don't you sleep here tonight?" Xiao Shixun asked with a smile.
“Okay,” Su Fuliu readily agreed.
Looking at the excited Su Fuliu, Xiao Shixun's eyes flickered with a hint of probing, and he walked over to him again: "Jing'er, please don't call me brother anymore, call me Tinglang instead?"
Su Fuliu was slightly taken aback, then stared blankly at him, quite puzzled: "Why? Why don't you call me brother, but lover? Doesn't that mess up our relationship?"
Xiao Shixun was taken aback. He hadn't expected Su Fuliu to say that, actually mishearing "Tinglang" as "Qinglang".
However, this also proves that Su Fuliu really forgot.
He smiled and replied, "Brother was just joking with you."
Su Fuliu snorted: "Brother, you can't make jokes like that. But brother, what's my name? I just asked those three old men who I am, but they just wouldn't tell me."
"Your name is Xiao Shijing, and your brother's name is Xiao Shixun. This is the palace, and your brother is the emperor. Your brother is your favorite person, and you want to stick to him every day."
Xiao Shixun walked to the bedside and sat down next to Su Fuliu. He picked up Su Fuliu's leg and placed it on his own lap, then reached out and touched his cold feet.
Su Fuliu immediately laughed and pulled her foot back: "Haha, it tickles."
Xiao Shixun grabbed his right ankle again, touching the jade bell on it, and said, "This thing is still too much of an eyesore, let's take it off?"
“No, the bells are ringing so nicely,” Su Fuliu replied.
"Is it just because it sounds nice that you don't want to take it?" Xiao Shixun stared directly at him.
“Yes, brother, listen, isn’t this sound beautiful!” Su Fuliu said innocently, and even wiggled her toes, causing the jade bell to immediately make a melodious sound.
“If you like it, I’ll find you a nicer-sounding bell to wear. We don’t need this one.” After saying that, Xiao Shixun was about to reach out and pull off the string of jade bells.
"No!" Su Fuliu quickly reached out and pressed his hand down.
"Don't want it?" Xiao Shixun's eyes darkened.
"No! I really like this jade bell, brother, please don't tear it off." Su Fuliu looked at Xiao Shixun with a pitiful expression, as if she was about to cry.
"Is it just liking him?" Xiao Shixun stared at Su Fuliu, as if trying to see through him.
"Please, brother, don't tear it off, okay?" Su Fuliu tugged at Xiao Shixun's sleeve and shook it.
Xiao Shixun tried to see something unusual in his eyes, but he didn't see anything unusual.
After failing to detect any problems during two attempts, Xiao Shixun finally believed that Su Fuliu had truly lost her memory, and laughed, "Alright, since Jing'er likes it so much, then brother won't tear it off."
"Brother is so good." Su Fuliu smiled and then hugged Xiao Shixun tightly.
In the instant that Xiao Shixun couldn't see, his gaze became complicated.
His palms were covered with marks from nails embedded in his fingers.
Chapter 556 Crying
"Brother, I'm hungry," Su Fuliu said, releasing Xiao Shixun.
"Okay, brother will have someone prepare food for you right away. What would you like to eat?" Xiao Shixun asked.
Su Fuliu tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, "I want to eat wontons."
"Wonton? Good, brother will have someone prepare it right away." Xiao Shixun got up and went to instruct people to prepare it.
When I turned around, I saw Su Fuliu sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs like an innocent child.
Su Fuliu looked at the jade bell on his ankle. Every time the bell rang, he would laugh.
Xiao Shixun's heart stirred slightly. He slowly turned back, then knelt down and reached out to grab Su Fuliu's ankle as if he were holding some precious treasure.
He closed his eyes and rested his head on Su Fuliu's knees.
“Brother…” Su Fuliu sat there, too afraid to move.
"Jing'er, will you stay by your brother's side forever? I will try my best to become the person you like, so please don't refuse me anymore, okay?" Xiao Shixun's thin lips parted slightly, his voice gentle, with a hint of pleading in his tone.
“Brother…” Su Fuliu sat there blankly, not knowing what to say.
Xiao Shixun suddenly picked up his feet and kissed his ankles.
He immediately withdrew his foot, looking at Xiao Shixun with a startled expression.
Xiao Shixun raised his head, his complex emotions spreading across his eyes like ink on rice paper. He looked at Su Fuliu and said in a sorrowful voice, "Brother can give up everything, as long as you. You are all I have. You are my only one."
With her head wrapped in gauze, Su Fuliu blinked her big, dark eyes at Xiao Shixun: "Brother, where are our...family?"
Upon hearing this question, Xiao Shixun was first taken aback, then his cold laugh turned into a long laugh, but as he laughed, he began to cry.
It's like he's gone mad.
A palace servant brought in a food box and saw Xiao Shixun kneeling by the bed, hugging Su Fuliu's legs and crying loudly, while Su Fuliu sat there expressionless, her eyes somewhat vacant.
"Your Majesty, the wontons... the wontons have arrived," a palace servant announced.
Xiao Shixun stopped crying instantly and resumed his cold expression. If it weren't for the tear stains on his face, no one would have guessed that he had just been crying.
Su Fuliu, who had been expressionless, regained her composure in that instant, and her empty eyes regained their color.
Xiao Shixun stood up, glanced at the palace servant, and said, "Put it down."
"Yes..." The palace servant quickly placed the food box on the table. "This servant takes his leave."
Just as he was about to turn around, Xiao Shixun snapped his neck and sent him to meet the King of Hell.
Su Fuliu turned her head slightly, unable to bear looking at her.
Afterwards, Xiao Shixun had someone come in and carry the body away. He acted as if nothing had happened, turned around and went to the table, opened the food box, and said, "Jing'er's wontons are here. Brother, shall we feed Jing'er?"
Su Fuliu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and replied, "Okay."
Xiao Shixun walked back to Su Fuliu with the wontons in his hand and asked, "Jing'er wasn't scared when brother did that just now, was she?"
"I'm scared... scared." Su Fuliu was genuinely scared.
