As he finished speaking, Ji Wushang noticed his hand moving. He seemed very agitated, as if struggling with something, and then as if he saw something! Ji Wushang was nervous and didn't know what to do. He stepped forward and inserted needles into his acupoints again, but at that moment, the man suddenly leaned forward!
Ji Wushang was startled. He reached forward with both hands and grabbed Ji Wushang's hands. Ji Wushang tried to break free, but he held on tightly!
"Your Highness, let go! Let go!" Ji Wushang shouted, but to no avail!
"Relax, Your Highness. You need to relax now." Seeing this, Ji Wushang changed to a gentle tone and slowly said, "Relax. What you see is just what you experienced in the past, what has passed. What you need is to slowly adjust and then move on to your life..." As Ji Wushang spoke, he slowly let go of his hand and slowly lay back down on the bed.
Ji Wushang sat down on the edge of the bed, panting. This man had scared her to death!
Unexpectedly, in that instant, he sat up abruptly and pulled Ji Wushang into his arms! The silver needle was now piercing his body! Ji Wushang looked on in horror. His hands remained firmly planted, pleading, "Don't leave me!"
"Relax, let go, Your Highness, relax your whole body! Doesn't it hurt?" Ji Wushang was a little panicked; the silver needles were slowly piercing into his body!
"I'm not in pain."
Ji Wushang turned around abruptly and saw that his eyes were now a deep purple and bright, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his arms were tightly holding her. "Thank you."
Ji Wushang was stunned. He hadn't expected that he would wake up like this. It turned out that the acupuncture he had just administered had no effect.
"Well, now that you're awake, you should still remember the three conditions I made with you. It's time for you to let me go." Ji Wushang looked at him, smiled awkwardly, and blushed slightly.
Yiyun Shangcheng looked at her with his dark eyes for a few moments without saying a word. But he released her and looked at the silver needles stuck in his body, some deep and some shallow, some of which he had just inserted.
“Pull it out for me.” Yiyun Shangcheng looked up at her. “I didn’t expect you to know acupuncture.”
"I just learned it."
As Ji Wushang spoke, he leaned forward slightly and reached out his hand. However, noticing that Ji Wushang was watching him, he hesitated and withdrew his hand. "You can pull it off yourself. It's not difficult. Try..."
“No.” Yiyun Shangcheng immediately refused her.
Ji Wushang looked at him helplessly, but he stretched out his hand. Ji Wushang dodged it immediately, his eyes showing a slight disappointment.
"Don't move." Ji Wushang pretended not to see his gaze before looking at his chest. Why did he have to wake up so quickly, making her so embarrassed! She had originally planned to quietly leave after administering acupuncture while he was unconscious, but, unexpectedly!
Ji Wushang's face was burning. His chest was lean and well-defined, the strong, slightly dark chest right in front of him. Ji Wushang considered squinting, but couldn't see the silver needles. Torn between these thoughts, he decided to quickly remove them and then give up. He opened his eyes, used both hands to pull several needles from Yi Yunshang's chest, then removed two more from his head. Afterward, without looking at him, he packed up and prepared to leave.
He had been watching her expression closely, and seeing the changes in her face, he felt a surge of joy. Needless to say, what he had gone through was unimaginable, but for her, to see her again here, and to have her be the first person he saw upon waking and regaining his memories—what a wonderful feeling!

Ji Wushang felt a little awkward under his gaze, and thought that avoiding it was impossible. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, do you still remember our previous agreement? If you do, that's good. Then, it's time to say goodbye." Ji Wushang answered before he could speak.
With that, he got up and left.
But Yiyun Shangcheng pulled her along, saying, "I didn't say I remembered. Did we say anything? It's getting late, why don't we stay here together?"
What? He said we should live together?
“We made a promise that if I healed you and restored your memories, we would agree on three things: First, after you regain your memories, you can't cling to me; I need to return to my residence. Second, after you regain your memories, you will return to your Western Regions, inherit your throne, and I will remain myself. Third, you can't force me to do anything from now on.” Ji Wushang had no choice but to repeat what he had said before. Finally, he said, “Now, I want to go back to my residence; my grandmother and the others will be worried about me.”
Yiyun Shangcheng paused for a moment, then nodded, but what had she just said?
“No, not now. If you want to leave, then wait until tomorrow,” Yiyun Shangcheng said to her. “It’s dangerous now.”
Ji Wushang walked to the window and looked at the surroundings. Sure enough, the night was bleak. If he went out, he didn't know if he would encounter any danger in this forest. But, in terms of danger, this man was also a danger!
"How are you? Are you scared?" Yiyun Shangcheng walked over and pointed to the night. "There are many wolves and tigers outside. You'd better not go out."
Ji Wushang fell silent in despair, but then he remembered what had happened during the day. He regained his memory, so what exactly had happened?
"I want to know what happened, and why you carried out the order to kill me." Ji Wushang turned around, looking at him with clear eyes, and asked.
"I forgot everything that happened before I woke up," he said innocently.
Ji Wushang really wanted to say, "What kind of logic is this?!" But he held back. "Fine. If you won't say anything, then please leave. I need to rest."
"Why don't you ask me why I lost my memory?" Yi Yun Shangcheng said anxiously when she saw that she was in no mood.
"I don't know if you'll tell me, so it's best not to ask."
Her words caused a flicker of disappointment in Yiyun Shangcheng's heart. Did she really not even care about him?
"Not long after I returned to the Western Regions, a civil war broke out. The Queen and my uncle framed and killed my father. I was deceived by them and fell into their trap, which caused me to lose my memory and go into exile. That's how I was rescued." Yiyun Shangcheng spoke without waiting for her to listen.
Ji Wushang was taken aback upon hearing this; he hadn't expected the struggle for imperial power to be so fierce.
"Then you need to go back and take back what belongs to you even more." This has always been Ji Wushang's mindset, and what belongs to you must be held onto tightly!
Yiyun Shangcheng nodded, looking at her, "Just this sentence?"
"Then what do I need to say?"
"Never mind, it's not necessary," Yiyun Shangcheng said disappointedly.
“You once said that you are the future king of the Western Regions, Your Highness, I wish you well,” Ji Wushang said, looking at him.
“I once said that as long as you agree, my position as empress will always be yours.” Yi Yun Shangcheng grabbed her hand.
Ji Wushang immediately wanted to open his eyes, but his arm was so tight that in the end, he could only look up at him and say, "Your Highness, please have some self-respect."
Looking into her eyes, Yiyun Shangcheng finally let go.
"I need to rest, Your Highness, please leave!" Ji Wushang immediately walked away and spoke to him from a few meters away.
Do you need me to come with you?
"No need. Thank you." Ji Wushang rolled her eyes at him. What did he need? She was fine now, she just wanted to go back. "I definitely have to go back tomorrow."
Yiyun Shangcheng neither objected nor nodded, but when she finally walked out, she was smiling, and that smile was somewhat wicked.
Ji Wushang felt a chill run down his spine, but he still closed the door and curled up on the bed to sleep.
I wish someone could come and save me!
Nan Xuzong, can you hear my voice? I'm here, here, in the underground palace, do you know where that is?
Over there, Nan Xuzong suddenly woke up from his bed with a start. Was this really a telepathic reaction? He actually heard her voice again! What was she shouting about, the underground palace?
Gong Shu stepped forward at this moment and asked from outside the beaded curtain, "Master, do you need any help?"
"No, you can go down!" Nan Xuzong sighed.
"Yes," Gong Shu said, then thought of leaving, but Nan Xuzong quickly said, "Gong Shu."
"Master."
"Find out what an underground palace is, and find this place for me." Nan Xuzong recalled the words in his dream; it must be a clue, something she was trying to tell him.
"Yes." Gong Shu nodded, and Nan Xuzong waved for him to leave.
Nan Xuzong closed his eyes, his heart filled with thoughts of her. He had once made a vow that wherever she went, he would find her, he would definitely! He had already decided that she was the one for him in this life, so he would never let go!
No one can take her away from me!
Ji Wushang didn't sleep well, but it seemed as if he had entered a chaotic world. Ji Wushang was a little scared, but he was being held by the hand by someone. He couldn't see who it was!
Ji Wushang wanted to ask, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Yi Yun Shangcheng was looking at her by her bedside. He held the spiritual power in his hand, thinking of striking her head, but in the end, he couldn't bear to and withdrew it in mid-air.
"If I could make you happy, would you come with me?" Yi Yun Shangcheng murmured. "But why is it that the person I see in your heart is not me, but him? Could it be that you two are really that in love? When did he take up residence in your heart instead of me?" His purple eyes held a hint of sadness.
Ji Wushang slowly felt the dream fade away. He was playing in a peach orchard. Although he was alone, he felt comfortable and did not have the oppressive feeling he had just experienced.
Yiyun Shangcheng took a few last looks before leaving.
The next morning, Ji Wushang woke up very early. He opened the door and saw Yi Yunshang standing in front of it. It seemed that he had been standing there for a long time. Ji Wushang paused, took a step back, and said, "Good morning, Your Highness." He then bowed.
“No need for formalities.” Yiyun Shangcheng nodded. “After your meal, I will see you out.” With that, she turned and walked away.
Ji Wushang stared at him, slightly stunned. Had he changed his head again?
"Still standing there?" Yi Yun Shangcheng turned around and asked when she saw that she hadn't followed.
"Yes," Ji Wushang replied, and then immediately followed.
He lowered his head, quickly ate all the food, and then put it all down when he looked over. Ji Wushang smiled slightly and said, "I've finished eating."
Yiyun Shangcheng looked at the dish in front of her that had only been touched a little, and the rice that hadn't been touched at all. Her eyes narrowed. "Eat half of it."
"What?" Ji Wushang looked at him, then at the food in front of him.
He added, "You can only leave after you finish eating half of it. If you don't eat it, you can't leave."
Ji Wushang looked at him, and seeing that he wasn't joking at all, she muttered something and slowly picked up her chopsticks again to pick up some food.
Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled slightly, then watched the person in front of her slowly eat. The way she raised her hand was unspeakably charming. The way she looked at her from time to time was with resistance and a hint of resentment.
But he just looked at her and didn't touch his chopsticks.
Ji Wushang held his breath and quickly finished eating.
"Alright." Having finally eliminated half of everything, he stood up, his meaning clear: "Let's go!"
"Okay. Wait for me." Yi Yun Shangcheng said casually, and then he slowly picked up his chopsticks.
Ji Wushang was dumbfounded. He hadn't touched the chopsticks before, and now he was only picking them up now. Was he deliberately trying to annoy him? He was in a hurry to go back. Not to mention how worried the people in the manor were about him, Nan Xuzong would be even more worried, okay?
His movements were elegant, completely ignoring Ji Wushang's murderous gaze. He continued to eat in small bites, and even picked up food with great relish, putting it in his mouth and chewing slowly. Ji Wushang was so disgusted by his appearance that he almost vomited blood.
She could only plop down on the stool and watch him helplessly.
Finally feeling she had finished teasing her, Yiyun Shangcheng put down her chopsticks. "Okay, let's go!"
"Hmm." Ji Wushang was a little listless, but he was still quite happy to hear that they were leaving.
Yi Yun Shangcheng stepped forward and led her ahead, while Ji Wushang, anxious, walked in front. Yi Yun Shangcheng struggled internally several times, dissipating the energy she had gathered in her hands each time.
When they finally reached the cave entrance, Ji Wushang took a breath, then turned to look at him with a somewhat bitter expression. He had questions in his heart, but dared not ask, and simply said, "Farewell! Go back to the Western Regions safely, and say goodbye here."
"I'll see you off," Yiyun Shangcheng said earnestly, and then walked ahead.
Ji Wushang remained silent and followed behind him.
After crossing several streets, he actually led Ji Wushang on a shortcut. Ji Wushang had never known that there was such a short route. Before long, they arrived at the street where General Ji's mansion was located. Once they crossed this street, they would reach the main gate of General Ji's mansion.
He stopped, then turned to look at her. "Go back by yourself!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." Ji Wushang nodded, then walked forward with great joy.
There weren't many people on the street at the time, just a few scattered individuals, and no one noticed the two of them.
