"My wife..." He hugged Xia Younan's arm aggrievedly, complaining with a bitter face, "I'm scared, the Queen Mother is mean to me, Yuan'er is scared, can we go home? Yuan'er doesn't want to be here anymore."

Xia Younan patted his hands to comfort him, and said to Ye Feiyan: "Aunt, you can see that the prince is really like a child, and he is not intentionally disrespectful to you.

"As the queen mother of a country, you shouldn't argue with someone who has the IQ of a three or four-year-old, right? Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will damage your image as the queen mother."

Ye Feiyan narrowed her eyes, looked at her, and then looked at Lu Xiuyuan, who was full of fear and stupidity. She thought that this damn girl was right, and if she continued to make things difficult for him, she would be criticized.

"Okay, since he's a fool, I won't blame him. Everyone, stand up and take a seat." She compromised and ordered impatiently.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Xia Younan thanked her again, pulled Lu Xiuyuan up from the ground, and sat on a stool beside them.

Lu Xiuyuan clung to her closely, holding her arms with both hands, resting his chin on her shoulder, and looking at the scene in front of him timidly.

Ye Feiyan glanced at him with disdain, "Are you really that stupid?"

Xia Younan: "Yes, it's my niece's fault for being reckless. The horse got scared when she was riding and kicked the prince in the head. When he woke up, he became like this."

Ye Feiyan smiled, "Then you have done a good thing."

Xia Younan's face turned cold and he stopped talking.

This old witch is really vicious.

Ye Feiyan no longer paid attention to Lu Xiuyuan, but turned her attention to Xia Younan, looking her up and down and asked, "Why, I heard from your father that you were injured and lost your memory, and you forgot everything and everyone, is that right?"

Xia Younan replied coldly: "Yes."

Ye Feiyan frowned and said unhappily, "Then how come your personality has changed so much? You weren't like this before, at least you didn't dare to contradict me."

Xia Younan smiled coldly and replied, "My previous timid personality would not allow me to accomplish anything great, right?"

"Oh? So you changed yourself in order to better accomplish the tasks your father asked you to do?"

"Yes, for the benefit and honor of the family, my niece is willing to do anything."

Ye Feiyan nodded, and was very satisfied with what she said.

Next, Ye Feiyan chatted with Xia Younan about random things out of courtesy, and Xia Younan patiently responded one by one.

With his clever brain, he not only calmed down the old woman, but also protected Lu Xiuyuan from any danger.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

The eunuch's loud shout outside the door gave Xia Younan a startle. He immediately perked up and stood up, holding Lu Xiuyuan's hand.

Here she comes, the person she least wants to see is here. She already feels awkward before she even sees him.

Soon, a bright yellow figure came into view and walked straight towards the main seat.

"Your son greets your mother." A bright and pleasant voice sounded.

Xia Younan lowered his head and said silently in his heart: You can't see me, you can't see me.

Ye Feiyan raised her hand lovingly, "My prince, please excuse me. Why are you here at this time? Have you finished handling the affairs of state?"

"It's done. Dinner time is coming soon. I'm here to have dinner with you, mother." Lu Shi'an's voice came again.

Ye Feiyan nodded with satisfaction, "Well, my prince is thoughtful. Your brother and his wife are here too. It looks like today's dinner will be lively."

Brother and sister-in-law...

Lu Shi'an's heart was hurt by these two words. He looked at the beautiful woman who was bowing her head and keeping silent, and the dazzling figure beside her, and his heart was bleeding.

Even with his head down, Xia Younan could feel the sharp gaze. He sighed silently, and pulled Lu Xiuyuan to kneel down together.

"Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Time seemed to stand still. Lu Shian didn't respond, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his handsome eyes stared at her, filled with deep pain.

Xia Younan got goosebumps all over his body when he looked at her, and lowered his head even more.

How could Ye Feiyan not see what her son was thinking? Her face darkened and she reminded him unhappily, "Your Majesty, you have overstepped your bounds."

Lu Shian ignored her and looked at Xia Younan for a while. Just when Xia Younan thought she was about to suffocate, his voice finally came: "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Younan responded, and stood up with Lu Xiuyuan, looked up at the man, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

His tall and slender body was dressed in a well-cut bright yellow dragon robe, on which were embroidered coiled and parading dragons with gold thread, exuding an aura of nobility and domineering.

His hair was as black as ink, half of it was tied on his head by a purple gold and jade crown, and the other half was draped softly on his shoulders, making his already captivating face even more extraordinary.

His features were as sharp as a knife, his skin was as white as jade, his thick eyebrows were raised arrogantly like two sharp swords, and under his eyebrows were a pair of deep eyes that exuded a chill.

His high and straight nose made his facial features look more three-dimensional, and his two rose-like lips were red without any makeup, making him so handsome that it was difficult to tell whether he was a male or a female.

No wonder he and Lu Xiuyuan are brothers. It seems that the late emperor’s genes were very strong. The two of them look 70% similar, and both are the type that can charm everyone.

Just his expression...

What kind of expression was that? Xia Younan felt his heart tremble.

Extreme pain, extreme love, extreme sorrow, extreme suffering!

Those beautiful eyes were now filled with overwhelming sorrow, with bloodshot eyes, as if tears were about to fall out in the next second.

His fiery gaze did not shift at all, and Xia Younan felt as if he was looking at her with a sharp sword in his back.

Not daring to look into his extremely sad eyes, she simply raised her hand and pressed it down on her forehead, trying to block his gaze.

Lu Xiuyuan curled his lips maliciously, hugged Xia Younan into his arms, and glared at Lu Shian with dissatisfaction, "My wife is mine, don't keep looking at my wife, I don't like others looking at my wife."

Ye Feiyan frowned, "How dare you!"

Xia Younan quickly came to the rescue: "Aunt, please forgive me. Yuan'er is stupid and didn't mean to be rude to the emperor."

Lu Shi'an looked at them steadily, and clenched his fists quietly on both sides.

His wife? Lu Xiuyuan, I will turn a blind eye to your greed for power, but if you dare to snatch my woman, I will never tolerate you!

Xia Younan apologized to Lu Shian embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Yuan'er is sick. I didn't mean to offend you. I hope Your Majesty can understand."

The emperor? Yuan'er? Lu Shi'an felt so much pain that he suddenly wanted to laugh.

Since childhood, she liked to call me Brother Shi'an, but now he has become a strange "Emperor"; she said she would marry me when she grows up, but now she lets another man hug her and calls her Yuan'er...

Irony, what a irony.

After looking at her like this for a long time, Lu Shian asked bitterly: "Since when did we become so estranged? You... don't even want to call me cousin."

Xia Younan was stunned and explained awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I lost my memory and I was afraid of offending the emperor."

"Amnesia..." Lu Shian had heard about it a long time ago, but when he saw the person dear to his heart standing in front of him, she looked at him as if she was a stranger, and his heart still couldn't stop aching.

She really didn't remember anything, nothing that happened between them.
