His heart was full of doubts, but he would rather believe that the woman in front of him was Su Ji, the woman she loved the most. He would rather it was real. Even if it was just a dream, he would never wake up.
When he arrived at the hall, there was no sign of the Emperor. There were only people waiting for him in whispers.
It was obvious that Mu Heng wanted to remind him that the princess was here, but he did not say it clearly.
It seemed that Mu Heng was smarter this time. He was not as slow as before. This time, he had really made a contribution. He looked at Mu Heng with approval, but Mu Heng followed him like nothing had happened. He was expressionless. It seemed that this kid had flattered him correctly and had improved a lot.
Tuoba Li's smile stunned the entire room. Everyone in the room was staring at the main character as he walked into the hall filled with guests and friends. His charming smile not only charmed the infatuated women, but even the serious men drooled. Although they were all complaining about this rude birthday girl, who could complain in the face of such a beautiful face?
It seemed that his seduction technique was not suitable for women. Everyone present thought so.
However, Tuoba Li ignored him and deliberately cleared his throat. He did not look apologetic at all, instead, he put on a devilish smile and exuded a domineering aura, causing everyone present to no longer dare to look at him directly. They all bowed to him and offered their blessings. The words of praise were actually gorgeous, causing the smiles of those who heard them to deepen.
When they heard someone say,"Let's start eating," the entire hall became lively. It was a scene of wine and meat being stinky.
Tuoba Li was not in the mood to chat with these people who had ulterior motives and were flattering him. He ran away from the banquet in a practiced manner, leaving them behind and heading straight to his study room.
At the same time, he instructed his personal guards to deliver some medicine for Tuoba Min's wounds and observe her movements. He kept a close watch on her and did not allow her to leave the residence at will, including her personal guards.
He saw Su Ji who was sleeping by the bed. He moved closer and saw her face with black spots, thick lips, and thick rouge. He sighed, What kind of blow had she suffered to make herself look so ugly? What was wrong with her?
Tuoba Li looked at Su Ji with a puzzled expression. He wanted to soothe her tightly furrowed brows when he saw her disheveled hair and exhausted face. He reached out his hand and gently caressed her brows. Her exquisite face did not change, but she had some decorations. No wonder he felt that something was familiar when he saw her. Now, it was her deep, sad, and clear eyes. Even when she closed them, she still looked gentle and beautiful.
The sudden slap brought him back to reality. The woman in front of him had Su Ji's face and noble temperament. However, she was not as cold and decisive as before. Instead, she had something that could make people warm. What was wrong with Su Ji? He needed someone to tell him the truth.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Don't be angry. I was just absent-minded for a moment. I'm not a pervert. I just miss you too much. If you're tired, why don't I hit myself a few times for you?”Then, he smiled seductively and took the initiative to stretch his face over, making a gesture that allowed her to hit him as she pleased.
It was still that beautiful and handsome face, but it was a little different from usual. Now, it was filled with gentleness and looked even more charming.
Just as she was about to hit her face, a warm little hand blocked her.
Su Ji admitted defeat. Facing such a charming man, how could she watch him hurt her already red cheeks?
" Puchi." The two of them exchanged a smile, and the awkwardness in the room dissipated completely. Tuoba Li's gentle embrace replaced it.
"Su Ji, don't be afraid. It's my fault. Don't be angry with me, okay?”
Su Ji's stiff body softened after hearing his gentle voice.
She pouted her lips and smiled again." Alright, you don't have to pretend to be pitiful anymore. As long as you let go of me, I won't be angry anymore." The same childish voice sounded, making the entire study look a little more ambiguous than before.
Tuoba Li let go of Su Ji's body, but he held her hand with just the right amount of strength. He didn't want to hurt Su Ji, but he also didn't want her to let go.
Su Ji gave up struggling. He probably wouldn't do anything to her. Because even a fool could see the splendor in his eyes, like a lover's caress.
Su Ji didn't know why, but she relaxed her guard and looked into his eyes. She didn't dodge anymore.
"When did you leave the Cold Palace? Is the poison in your body cured? Why did you sell flowers? Did the emperor order you to leave the palace to do something? Ignoring your dignity and safety? Where's your martial arts? What exactly happened?"
Su Ji didn't dare to slack off after hearing the series of 'whys'."You should make up a book called 'A Hundred Thousand Whys,' or you'll definitely tire others out."
She deliberately changed the topic so that she had time to make up her own story.
"Alright, I'm not in a hurry. Tell me slowly, I'll wait."
Su Ji shook her head helplessly, as if she was complaining about how to start with so many questions. She composed herself and decided to tell him the truth with reservations.
"You said I was poisoned. When did this happen?”She asked him carefully.
"What is it? Don't tell me you don't know what poison you've been poisoned with, and you're asking me when I was poisoned? Are you testing me again? Or are you scaring me?"
She clenched her fists even tighter, and her eyes emitted a cold gaze, as if she wanted to see through the person in front of her.
"When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed. My wrist was cut by a knife and soaked in water. I forgot who I was. Why was he here? "So…" Su Ji stopped on purpose, wanting to see Tuoba Li's expression so that she could get some information out of him.
Just as Su Ji had hoped, Tuoba Li suddenly became vigilant and impatiently said,"You were almost killed and forgot who you were when you woke up? Do you still remember me? Or someone else? Have you forgotten all of us?"
Su Ji noticed that he was talking about us, not just him. Who else knew her? Could it be the emperor?
"I really don't remember anything at that time. Do you know me? Who are you to me? Do I have any relatives?" Su Ji held his hand and showed great curiosity, as if she really wanted to know about her past. She tried her best to act like Su Ji herself.
A person who had truly lost his memory would want to know his past. At the very least, he would want to know his surname, name, and family. This was the normal reaction of a person who had lost his memory.
"You really can't remember anything? Really? Was Su Ji telling the truth? You don't have martial arts either?"
Taba Li's expression was filled with surprise, disappointment, and disbelief. His eyes widened and then slowly narrowed. His gaze became cold and complicated. Su Ji couldn't understand what he was saying.
She did not notice that a sinister smile had appeared on Tuoba Li's face.
Taba Li quickly stood up and placed his big hand on Su Ji's neck. The strength of his hand grew stronger and stronger. Two cold rays of light shot out from his eyes, which were filled with killing intent.
