La vida de la gente del campo en la ciudad durante la dinastía Song

Capítulo 6

"What?!" The four people in the room exclaimed in surprise at the same time. They looked at each other, their faces turning pale.

Yunyan suddenly sighed and said, "Among the poison Fan Zhong gave you, there is an ingredient called 'Diao Fu,' which has a hypnotic and confusing effect. Taking too much can indeed cause memory disorder or even memory loss. Lin Yu, don't worry, I will naturally find a way to cure you."

I nodded repeatedly, letting out a long sigh of relief. By the time she realizes she can't cure me, I'll have already found a way back, I'm sure of it.

"Do you still recognize these people?" Yunyan asked, pointing to the three people behind her.

I shook my head blankly. Yunyan's eyes welled up with tears, and she pointed to the old man behind her, saying, "This is our steward, Li Mu, whom you saved when you were twelve years old. As for his true identity, you will gradually remember it in the future."

"Next is Linglong. She was originally a fallen noblewoman who was sold into slavery. She was the same age as Li Mu and was rescued by you. She became my personal maid."

Finally, Yunyan's jade-like finger landed on the man in blue and said, "His name is Feng Yihan, and he is your personal bodyguard. You met him in the Water Mist Kingdom when you were thirteen years old. He wholeheartedly recognized you as his master and has followed you ever since."

"And me," Yun Yan smiled bitterly, lowering her brows to hide the look in her eyes, "I am your wife, Chu Yun Yan, and I have been with you since you were eleven years old. The five of us are nominally master and servant, but in reality, we are no different from family. Lin Yu, you must remember this clearly."

I nodded blankly again, my gaze sweeping over everyone before me, finally settling on Yunyan. For some reason, I sensed an indelible sadness in her eyes. I quickly said, "Don't worry, Yunyan, I've remembered everything."

"Then, what about me? What is my identity?"

"Your name is Qin Luo, courtesy name Linyu. You were the top scholar in the imperial examination of the third year of Tianying in Jinyao Kingdom. You were once the youngest Grand Marshal, Grand Scholar of Jinxiang Garden, and editor of the History of Yaoguo in Jinyao Kingdom. And now, you are also the youngest and most famous young prime minister in Jinyao Kingdom."

My mouth gaped open, trembling. I pointed at myself, then looked at my long, slender fingers, and said in a trembling voice, "You mean...me?"

With a loud "bang," Yunyan's fan struck my head again. "Who else could it be but you! When you were fourteen, you met a friend named Ren Yao, courtesy name Kewei. The two of you became very close, talking for three days and three nights straight. But when you went to find him again, his family had been framed by the Crown Prince and imprisoned. To save him, you had no choice but to take the imperial examination and unexpectedly achieved the highest score in all three levels. However, when you reported to the Emperor to seek justice for him, you learned that Ren Kewei had already been murdered in prison by the Crown Prince. In your anger, you chose to assist the Third Prince Yang Yi, who is now the Emperor, to eliminate the Crown Prince and were determined to reform the corrupt system so that innocent people would never be wronged again. In just two years, you assisted the Emperor in ascending the throne, quelling internal rebellions and resisting the invasions of Fengyin and Huoling Kingdoms, becoming the most wise and virtuous prime minister of Jinyao Kingdom..."

I opened my mouth and couldn't close it. Oh God! Oh Earth! What kind of person did you put me in?

Seeing my embarrassing state, Yunyan wasn't annoyed. She shrugged and said, "I've already had the servants prepare hot water. You can take a bath in the inner room. After you're done bathing, Yihan will take you to the front hall for dinner."

I nodded eagerly, behaving incredibly obediently. This made Yunyan burst out laughing.

Just as they were all retreating, I suddenly called out, "Yihan, is your injury... serious?"

Feng Yihan said in a low voice, "Thank you for your concern, young master. I've been resting for a few days and I'm fine now."

I sensed a difference in his tone compared to the coldness he displayed on the battlefield, so I could only stammer, "Thank you."

Feng Yihan nodded slightly and said, "Young Master is too kind." A look of worry flashed across his eyes, and Yihan lowered his eyes and continued, "Young Master, please don't be impulsive in the future. It's always better to have your subordinate by your side."

"I...I understand." After he closed the door and left, I couldn't help but shiver. I felt that Feng Yihan's eyes were so cold just now, as if he was angry about something.

Following Yunyan's directions, I lifted the bamboo curtain and entered the inner room, where I indeed found a steaming bathtub. Neatly arranged beside it were soap, bath gel, and clothes, but there was no one to serve me.

I was secretly delighted, thinking to myself: Luckily, Lin Yu doesn't like being served while bathing, otherwise I would be so embarrassed. With that thought, I took off my plain white robe.

Strange! There was actually a thin white robe inside. I untied it in the same way, and there was a thick but not heavy pale yellow vest. The image of the Golden Silkworm Armor I had seen in martial arts dramas came to mind. Although it wrapped the body tightly, it was thick and sturdy, but it did not feel bulky when worn. On the contrary, it was as if it were nothing.

I casually unbuttoned the many buttons of the pale yellow vest, thinking: What should I do tonight? If Yunyan asks to share a room with me, how can I, a man who is only half-real, satisfy her request?

At that moment, I didn't notice that I had a string of purple crystals on my wrist, and they were shimmering slightly.

I angrily threw the vest I was holding to the ground, feeling so frustrated I wanted to bang my head against the wall. What the hell was going on?! Real life was already annoying enough, and if I left, who would try to find a way to treat Yufei? I casually unbuttoned the last piece of clothing I was wearing, about to throw it off and step into the water, when my movement suddenly stopped—

"ah----!!"

Chapter 5 Han Shi Zimo

"ah----!!"

"Young Master!" The door was kicked open with a bang, and the bamboo curtain was ripped off. The first thing that came into view was Yi Han's handsome face, which rarely showed any emotion. His sharp killing intent made the temperature in the room drop abruptly. "Young Master, are you alright..."

A second later, his face changed from panic to shock.

Two seconds later, his face went from shocked to blank.

Five seconds later, he awkwardly looked away, a faint blush rising on his wheat-colored skin. Normally a man of few words, he stammered for a long time, unable to utter a single sentence: "Young master, you... how could you be a..."

I clutched the thin undergarment that couldn't conceal my shapely figure, looked up at Yi Han, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Yi Han, why didn't you and Yun Yan tell me that he... I... am a woman?!"

"Lin Yu—" Yun Yan's panicked and urgent voice came from not far away. She ran into the door panting and was stunned when she saw the messy scene behind the tattered bamboo curtain.

However, it was only for a moment before she quickly closed the door behind her, glared at me fiercely, and scolded, "Hurry up and put your clothes on?"

Oh my god! She's so fierce! I blushed with embarrassment and hurriedly turned around, grabbing a robe to put on and wrapping myself up tightly before turning back.

At this moment, Yi Han had regained his composure, lowered his head slightly, and stood quietly in place.

Yunyan looked at me, then at him, and after a long while, sighed and said, "Yihan, since you've found out, let's lay everything out in the open."

Yi Han raised his head, his dark eyes calm and composed, and looked at Yun Yan, saying indifferently, "Please speak, Madam."

Yun Yan nodded and said, "Lin Yu is a woman, but her talent and ability are such a waste that it would be a waste for her to remain just a woman. I think the three of you understand this better than anyone else."

A flash of dark green light appeared in Yi Han's eyes. He lowered his gaze and said, "What Madam says is absolutely right. It would be a real pity if Young Master's abilities could not be fully utilized."

"So, I followed his wishes and dressed her up as a man from a young age."

"Makeup?!" I touched my Adam's apple in astonishment. It was actually... fake! "That's amazing!"

Yun Yan rolled her eyes at me and said, "Who do you think I am? The daughter of the divine physician Chu Feifan and the poison immortal He Minjun. How could a mere disguise technique possibly stump me?"

I nodded nervously, picked up the tea on the table to calm my nerves, and thought to myself: the less I ask, the less I make mistakes! The less I ask, the less I make mistakes! Yunyan seems to be really popular.

Yunyan ignored me and looked at Feng Yihan, coldly saying, "Now that you've discovered Lin Yu's true identity as a woman, you should know that for a woman to take the imperial examinations or even become an official, either way, is enough to warrant the execution of her entire family. Do you know what to do?"

Feng Yihan's expression remained unchanged. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Whether it's a man or a woman, a young master will always be a young master, and a subordinate will always be a subordinate."
