"My Tingting, you're awake. I was so worried. Let me see if you're okay." Tuoba Li's seductive face appeared at the door once again. He wore a light blue long robe and a white brocade belt. He looked extremely eye-catching and elegant.
As soon as he came in, he moved a chair and sat beside Su Ji. He shamelessly pulled Su Ji's hand and held it gently. His eyes were still filled with the familiar love-like eyes.
Su Ji curled her lips and pulled out Tuoba Li's warm hand. She looked at him coldly and said, Only a fool would be fooled by your fickleness a second time. Do you think I'm really a fool?
"King Jing, what do you want to do now? Can you be strict with me for once? Even if you kill me, you have to let me be a ghost, right?”
Then, Su Ji raised her neck and made an expression as if she was unafraid of death.
"Hah! Ha! Is my Su Ji still so strong-willed? It seems that I was wrong to scare you. Don't be afraid. Your Brother Li won't scare you anymore. He will protect you forever.”
Tuoba Li stretched out his hand and patted Su Ji's head gently. He stroked her hair lovingly as if he was coaxing a child. He looked just like a beautiful young woman.
Ew! Su Ji made a puking gesture. She really wanted to point at Tuoba Li's head and tell him to stop pretending.'I won't count money for you after being sold by you. Who are you trying to fool?' Where's Brother Li? Liar!
He looked at the face that had once caused him a nosebleed with disdain. He was speechless as a silent protest. He shrugged his shoulders, indicating that it did not matter.
Tuoba Li was dizzy from the series of actions. He did not know what this crazy woman in front of him was trying to do.
In order to make himself feel at ease, he had specially asked Doctor Chen to check Su Ji's pulse. After confirming that she might have been poisoned and lost her mind and forgotten everything that had happened in the past, he felt at ease and ordered the servants to prepare food for her.
Hearing this, he was disappointed at first, but then he became very excited because he finally had a chance to get close to such a peaceful Su Ji, a Su Ji who had forgotten about his powerful rival in love, Taba Hong. This was his only chance to make Su Ji fall in love with him without Taba Hong's interference.
He wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to be alone with Su Ji. Su Ji didn't have any responsibility to repay the favor of the royal family anymore. She could be an ordinary woman again, a woman that he could touch, instead of a woman who had profound kung fu and was unusually calm and never needed his protection. Su Ji was the one that he could love and protect with all his strength.
To be honest, he selfishly wanted to hide her identity so that she could stay by his side forever, be an ordinary woman, let go of all restraints, and live happily with him for the rest of her life.
He was even glad that she had forgotten all about the past. He had already made preparations for this and tried his best not to mention Tuoba Hong so that she could belong to him alone.
Perhaps it was selfish to do so, but he would not regret it. Even if Su Ji got better here and could remember the past, if he blamed her, he would not want her to become the cold and expressionless woman in the Imperial Palace again. In order to protect the Emperor, she could not have peace day and night and lived in fear every day. He wanted Su Ji to keep her current simple life, an ordinary and happy life.
After a day and a night of thinking, he had already thought of a way to make Su Ji remember him without Tuoba Hong.
"Alright, let me introduce myself first. I'm Tuoba Li. You know that. You entered the palace when you were five years old, and I'm one year older than you. You, the Emperor, and I studied together in the palace. Six months ago, you were suddenly poisoned and fell unconscious. For your safety, only the Emperor and I know about your poisoning because the person who poisoned you is very likely someone close to us. As you have been practicing martial arts since you were young, not only are you very skilled in martial arts, but you are also very good at using poison. No one can play such a trick in front of you."It can be seen that this person must be very terrifying. At that time, your situation was very dangerous." Tuoba Li deliberately ignored Tuoba Hong's matter.
"As for the matter of you being injured by someone with a knife, although I didn't know about it, I think that this person must still be in the palace. At that time, I was forbidden by the Emperor not to disturb you to expel the poison, so I didn't know about it. Tell me about you! From the day you entered the palace, you were regarded as the adopted daughter by the former emperor. Later, you were conferred the title of Princess Su Ji, and your original name was Yuan Suya. I only know that your biological parents have passed away and you have been living in the palace. You have been with me since you were young. You are now the emperor's concubine and have been banished to the Cold Palace. Now I want to know why you left the palace and became like this.”
Tuoba Li tried his best to briefly describe Su Ji's situation, but he also omitted the details about Tuoba Li. He didn't want Su Ji to remember those unbearable past events, so he only briefly described the recent situation.
Then, he pushed the question to Su Ji. Su Ji didn't look surprised when she heard his story because she had already heard about it from the palace. As for her relationship with Tuoba Li, it seemed like they were childhood sweethearts or naked kids. He didn't seem to mention Tuoba Hong much. It seems like he didn't say it on purpose. That's good. I don't want to have a deeper understanding of the emperor. She doesn't want to get into more trouble.
If he hadn't been drinking and enjoying the scenery, how could he have seen the scene of a thief and a prostitute? He had fallen into the water due to retribution and his true identity had been exposed. He was extremely unlucky. It seemed that bad luck had already taken over.
However, no one could stand Tuoba Li's 180-degree change in attitude. She continued to stare coldly at the gentle man before her, who was radiating seductive waves at her.
Taba Li blinked his eyes, eagerly waiting for Su Ji to tell him the answer.
Su Ji also looked at him with a regretful face. They looked at each other and thought silently.
"Then you and I were classmates who went to school together since we were young?”
"I don't understand what a classmate relationship is, but we've been together every day since we were young. You've always followed behind me and called me Brother Li? Our relationship is very good. We can be considered childhood sweethearts, understand? I can't finish talking about you and me for a few days. I'll tell you slowly when I have time? I really want to know what's wrong with you now. What happened?" Tuoba Li was lying. The truth was the opposite. He had been following Tuoba Hong and Su Ji since he was young, and he called Su Ji sister every day. This was his manly mentality.
He couldn't wait to grab Su Ji's hand again, but Su Ji slapped her hand hard, causing him to retract his hand because of the swelling.
"Su Ji, you're still angry. Yesterday, I thought you were a spy sent by the Empress Dowager. That's why I scared you and let the spy show his real face. I already know I was wrong. Don't be angry. Tell me quickly. I'm sweating. Good Su Ji…tell me?”
He pulled Su Ji's sleeve again, shaking it and praying at the same time. He looked like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for his mother's forgiveness. He was very lovable.
Su Ji believed her words, but she also reminded herself to be on guard in case someone found out that she was a soul from another world.
If she were to tell the people of this era about this, she would be regarded as a lunatic or a fool. Therefore, she would use amnesia to deceive this person so that he would not suspect that the person sitting in front of him now was Su Ji who had lost her memories of the past. She was still his childhood playmate and childhood friend.
"Alright? I'll believe you one more time. Last time, I said…When I woke up, I was saved and my wounds were already bandaged…Just like that, I found out my identity and disguised myself as a eunuch. When I was out of the palace to buy something, I sneaked out. As I was afraid of being discovered, I found an inn and turned myself into an ugly monster. When I came back from buying flowers, I saw you for the first time until now…"
Su Ji told him that there were many things in this world that weren't fake, including what happened to Bai Libing. However, except for the secret passage out of the palace, which was the key to her life, she had to keep a secret, even though he was one of the closest people in this world.
"Tuoba Li, you don't believe me, do you? You're really…I'm just saying this for nothing."
