A month passed in a flash.

Xiao Yujing worked diligently on government affairs every day, but he always felt empty inside.

Eunuch Wu felt sorry for him and wanted to persuade him to go and have a rest but he didn't know how to start.

At this time, a palace servant came in carrying a tray.

Eunuch Wu took the tray and placed several plates of snacks on the table.

"Your Majesty, please take a break."

Xiao Yujing put down the brush in his hand and rubbed his shoulders.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Wu hurried forward and massaged his shoulders.

Xiao Yujing took a sip of tea and felt a little hungry, so he picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite.

The next moment, he was stunned.

Eunuch Wu's heart tightened, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?"

"Salty." Xiao Yujing frowned.

Salty?

Eunuch Wu looked at the snacks on the table and was very angry.

This imperial kitchen really needs to be cleaned up. Some sweet desserts can be made salty.

"Your Majesty, I will go and take care of the affairs of the imperial kitchen right away." Eunuch Wu said hurriedly.

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Yujing swallowed the snack in his mouth and picked up another piece as if possessed by a ghost.

It seemed that someone had mistakenly put salt instead of sugar and made mooncakes for him.

Who is it?

Xiao Yujing ate one more piece and stopped eating. After washing his hands, he looked at the pastry in front of him thoughtfully.

"Let's have dinner at Mother's."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Wu quickly agreed.

Yong'an Palace.

Since the last move to the palace, Xiao Yujing had dinner with the Empress Dowager. After that, he was so busy that he only had time to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager every day. Tonight was the second time that the mother and son had dinner together since he ascended the throne.

It was a rare opportunity for Xiao Yujing to take the time out to have dinner with her, so the empress dowager was naturally very happy and talked to him for a long time.

Xiao Yujing responded one by one with a faint smile on his lips.

After a while, he suddenly asked:

"Mother, have you ever made mooncakes for me?"

The Queen Mother was stunned. "Mooncake?"

"Yes, salty mooncakes." Xiao Yujing said seriously.

The Queen Mother thought about it seriously, then smiled and said:

"Jing'er, you know that your mother is not good at cooking. Could it be that one of the palace servants made it for you?"

"Mother, you have never eaten salty mooncakes before. Are they delicious?"

Isn't she the Queen Mother?

Xiao Yujing felt a little lonely.

Hearing the Queen Mother's question, he forced a smile.

“I forgot what it tasted like.”

The Queen Mother noticed the change in his mood.

"Jing'er, are you okay?"

Xiao Yujing shook her head, "I'm fine, mother, you don't have to worry."

Seeing that he was really fine, the Queen Mother felt relieved and took him aside to continue chatting about family matters.

Xiao Yujing listened silently, but his mind couldn't help but drift away.

Could the person who gave him the mooncake and the person who gave him the bamboo rabbit be the same person?

Another month passed.

In March, when the weather warmed up, Emperor Chengren moved to another palace with the Empress Dowager and Concubine Rou.

Xiao Yujing saw them off and returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. Feeling the silence all around him, he suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.

Recently he has found it increasingly difficult to fall asleep, and Eunuch Wu has to prepare calming soup for him every day so that he can fall asleep.

Maybe he was in a bad mood because his father and mother left the palace today, and the calming soup didn't even help him fall asleep.

Xiao Yujing opened his eyes until midnight and felt really irritated.

He quietly got up, packed his things, and left the palace alone.

It was a quiet night, and Xiao Yujing was walking slowly on the deserted street.

Before he knew it, he came to a bridge.

Is this...Bishui Bridge?

The Bishui Bridge is particularly quiet late at night.

Xiao Yujing climbed up the steps and stood in the middle of the bridge.

He looked into the dark night in the distance, and the familiar feeling came to his heart again.

When has he ever been here?

Xiao Yujing stared at the night sky, feeling as if fireworks were blooming there.

Your Highness, do you like it?

A female voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and Xiao Yujing was shocked.

who is it?

But when he tried to think about it again, he couldn't remember anything.

There was a sharp pain in my heart.

In an instant, his face turned pale, he opened his mouth and gasped rapidly, and he squatted on the ground in pain.

Who can tell him.

What on earth had he forgotten?

Early morning on the second day.

The court officials all noticed His Majesty's pale face and the dark circles under his eyes.

Knowing that His Majesty was very diligent, everyone couldn't help but advise him to have a good rest.

Xiao Yujing agreed to all of them.

As the court was about to end, the Minister of Rites spoke:

"Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for more than three months. It is time to enrich your harem."

Seeing that the Minister of Rites had spoken, other officials also offered their suggestions.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a mother for a day, you should establish a queen."

"The matter of establishing a queen is of great importance and requires further screening."

Xiao Yujing paused suddenly.

Establish a queen?

In a trance, he seemed to have promised someone that he would make her his queen.

Who was it? Why couldn't he remember it no matter what?

Suddenly, that voice sounded in my mind again.

"Your Highness, will you forget me?"

"If I disappeared one day..."

Xiao Yujing's temples were throbbing and he stood there in a daze.

"Your Highness, you must remember what you said."

He heard himself mutter:

"I will always remember..."

Eunuch Wu, who was standing by, heard him speak and hurried forward.

"Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Xiao Yujing turned his head slowly, his eyes empty and lifeless.

Eunuch Wu was shocked.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Yujing suddenly cover his chest, trembling all over, and fell down with a painful look on his face.

Eunuch Wu was terrified.

"Someone! Call the imperial physician!"

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Xiao Yujing slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing the familiar bed, he vaguely remembered that he had fainted in the court.

He slowly stood up and looked at the sky outside. It was dark.

He had been unconscious for so long?

My throat is a little dry and my head still hurts a little.

Xiao Yujing called out in a hoarse voice: "Wu Yu..."

No one responded. Perhaps his voice was too low and the palace guards on duty outside didn't hear it.

Xiao Yujing got up from the bed, walked straight to the table, lowered his head and poured a cup of tea.

The tea was cold, but it was just enough to relieve the dryness in his mouth.

He put down the teacup, turned around, and suddenly found a small wooden box on top of the bookshelf.

When did a box appear here?

Xiao Yujing walked over, raised his hand and took it down.

Open the wooden box and find a sachet inside.

It is a picture of the rising sun at sea.

Xiao Yujing picked up the sachet and looked through it carefully.

The embroidery is sloppy, but the stitches are so fine that you can see the embroiderer's care.

As if possessed by a ghost, he turned the sachet inside out.

I was surprised to find a word "pear" embroidered inside.

Xiao Yujing frowned.

梨?

Pear fruit?

Pear blossom?

Pear...?

These two words suddenly popped up in Xiao Yujing's mind, and his heart beat faster.

Pear...

Pear!

Suddenly, his head felt like it was being torn apart, his chest felt stuffy and he couldn't breathe, cold sweat broke out on his body, he fell down suddenly, and curled up on the ground in pain.

In the midst of this chaos and struggle, something seemed to break out from his memory.

"Your Highness, this is a birthday present for you."

"Your Highness, you look like a dog..."

"Your Highness, if one day you forget me..."

"Your Highness..."

"Your Highness..."

Countless images and sounds penetrated into his mind, and Xiao Yujing rolled on the ground in pain.

I don't know how long it took, but he gradually stopped.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, his expression was painful, and his whole body was soaked as if he had just been fished out of the water.

He stood up with difficulty.

Pear!

He wants to go find Li'er!

After stumbling out of the Yangxin Palace, a cool breeze blew over him, and Xiao Yujing looked at the man sitting in the pavilion not far away.

"you're awake."

Murong Xiao looked pale and looked at him quietly.

"Murong Xiao."

Xiao Yujing spoke coldly.

Murong Xiao smiled faintly.

"Your Highness, I hope you are well."
