Go to Qingqiu together

"I'll ask you again." Shen Xubai took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and continued to ask: "Where was the place where the two of us met for the first time?"

"I know, it's Jinse Building." Xu Qingjian replied.

Shen Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly, but he remembered this clearly...

"Maybe my memory is too bad, my lord, don't be angry." Xu Qingjian stretched out his hand and gently tugged at Shen Xubai's clothes.

When Xu Qingjian said this, his tone was flattering.

Shen Xubai looked down at Xu Qingjian, and a moving emotion flashed in his eyes.

Then Shen Xubai asked Xu Qingjian a few simple questions, some of which Xu Qingjian could answer, but some of which he completely forgot.

In the end, Shen Xubai finally affirmed one thing, that Xu Qingjian lost part of his memory, some things he forgot were too abnormal, this is definitely not something that he will forget easily.

Seeing Shen Xubai's dignified expression, Xu Qingjian felt a little nervous.

"What's wrong, my lord?" Xu Qingjian asked tentatively.

Shen Xubai glanced at him, shook his head, and patted his back: "It's okay, you can go and play by yourself."

"Then what are you going to do, my lord?" Xu Qingjian asked.

"Naturally to deal with official business, there are still many things to be busy today." Shen Xubai said.

Xu Qingjian blinked and looked at Shen Xubai for a while.

He always felt that Shen Xubai's tone of speaking to him now was not as cold as when he first came back, especially at this moment.

So Xu Qingjian boldly asked: "Then can I go with you, I can grind ink for you."

"...Up to you." Although Shen Xubai didn't agree, he didn't refuse either.

From Xu Qingjian's point of view, Xu Qingjian agreed, so Xu Qingjian immediately showed a happy smile.

Seeing Xu Qingjian's smile, Shen Xubai froze for a moment, his heart was a little touched, and at the same time a strong sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

It has been nearly two months since Xu Qingjian came back, but he didn't realize that Xu Qingjian's memory was missing until now.

It is true that Xu Qingjian's reaction is much slower than before, and he is not as sharp as before. He just thinks that he has not seen him for three years. Xu Qingjian's personality has changed. Now it seems that it is probably due to memory loss. , so he had to react for a long time to remember many things.

What caused it, and when it started, he had no idea.

Perhaps there was a compelling reason for Xu Qingjian to do the things that hurt him back then, but he didn't go looking for him out of anger.

When Shen Xubai thought about these things, he felt that his heart was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out.

"My lord, this..." Xu Qingjian suddenly raised the long knife in his hand to Shen Xubai, hesitated to make a sound, and wanted to ask if he should put the knife back to its original place.

Just before he had time to put down the long knife named Yeyoushen, Shen Xubai pulled him over.

Although Shen Xubai said that the knife was his, but without Shen Xubai's instruction, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Shen Xubai was pulled back from his thoughts by Xu Qingjian's words, glanced at him, and said: "Since it's yours, keep it for yourself."

At the beginning, he was angry because Xu Qingjian cut him and left without saying goodbye, not even leaving an explanation.

So he wiped this Xu Qingjian's favorite knife clean, and placed it in a prominent place in the main hall. Every time he passed the main hall, he could see this knife, so that he could remember his respect for Xu Qingjian. hatred.

But only he himself knows that this is just a kind of torture to him.

"I..." Xu Qingjian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then tightly grasped the sword in his hand, looking hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Don't you want it?" Shen Xubai saw what Xu Qingjian was thinking at a glance.

Xu Qingjian nodded quickly: "Well, this knife hurt you once, I don't want it anymore."

Listening to Xu Qingjian's words, Shen Xubai watched him silent for a while, and finally sighed helplessly.

"But this is your most suitable weapon." Shen Xubai said to Xu Qingjian.

When Xu Qingjian was still loyal to Xia Yun, he used this knife to take the heads of countless people.

"Then I don't want it either." Xu Qingjian shook his head quickly.

"This is your thing, and now it's returned to its original owner." Shen Xubai's face showed no expression: "You can put it away first, and it's up to you if you don't want to use it anymore, you can just find a place to throw it away. That's it."

Hearing Shen Xubai's words, Xu Qingjian hesitated for a while, and could only nod slightly.

And Shen Xubai didn't say any more, turned around and went to the study, Xu Qingjian also quickly followed.

Not long after arriving at the study, someone knocked on the door of the study.

"My lord." The voice of the person outside the door was not loud, as if he deliberately lowered it.

The voice was nice, but also very strange, Xu Qingjian was sure that this person was not from Prince Ning's mansion, so he glanced at the door with some doubts, and then looked at Shen Xubai.

"It's my brother, go and open the door." Shen Xubai glanced at Xu Qingjian and said.

Xu Qingjian was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up and went to open the door. When he opened the door, he was still thinking about where Shen Xubai's younger brother came from.

I saw a man in a large black robe standing at the door, his face was hidden under the hood, so he couldn't see clearly.

"That..." Xu Qingjian wanted to let him in.

The man grabbed Xu Qingjian's shoulder, and his voice was a little surprised: "Sister-in-law, are you back?"

When Xu Qingjian heard the word sister-in-law, Xu Qingjian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Shen Xubai said that this person was his younger brother, his face turned red instantly, but at the same time he also took a step back vigilantly.

"You are..." Xu Qingjian looked at him hesitantly.

"It's me, I'm Qi'er." Xia Qi took off his hood, revealing a handsome face.

This person is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pair of black eyes that are clear and bright, like a suave young man.

But Xu Qingjian didn't have this person in his memory.

"Sister-in-law?" Xia Qi also saw that Xu Qingjian's expression was different, and asked in a daze, "Don't you remember me?"

"I really... don't seem to have any impression of you." Xu Qingjian said truthfully.

Hearing what Xu Qingjian said, Xia Qi was also slightly taken aback.

"You two come in and talk." Shen Xubai's voice sounded from behind.

Hearing this, Xu Qingjian immediately took a step back and let Xia Qi come in.

Xia Qi glanced at him, hesitated for a while, and then quickly entered the study, Xu Qingjian immediately closed the door.

"Didn't you say you should try to find me at night?" Shen Xubai looked at Xia Qi and asked in a deep voice.

"I have something important to do, and I can't wait until night." Xia Qi quickly replied, "I covered my face when I came, and I was walking on a path, so no one noticed."

"Forget it, sit down first." Shen Xubai sighed.

Xu Qingjian has already moved a chair over for Xia Qi to sit on.

"Thank you sister-in-law." Xia Qi thanked Xu Qingjian very politely.

Xu Qingjian's face turned red again, and soon he said, "How about I avoid it?"

He listened to the conversation between the two, it seemed to be a very important matter, maybe he should be more sensible and leave.

After saying that, Xu Qingjian was about to leave.

Shen Xubai took a look at him, and said in a calm tone: "No need, there's nothing you can't hear, just sit down."

"But..." Xu Qingjian looked at Shen Xubai with some doubts, and his tone was very hesitant.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xubai would let him stay, he thought that Shen Xubai would no longer trust him at all.

"Stop talking nonsense, sit down quickly." Shen Xubai glanced at Xu Qingjian: "Since you dare to come back, no matter whether you have other goals or not, I will not give you another chance to betray me."

Hearing Shen Xubai's words, Xu Qingjian couldn't help being stunned for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, he knew that Shen Xubai hadn't forgiven him yet.

But Xu Qingjian nodded obediently and sat down beside him.

"Is it because the Queen Mother summoned you into the palace last night that you came to see me?" Shen Xubai raised his eyes to look at Xia Qi.

Xia Qi nodded, with a serious expression on his face.

"Did she test you?" Shen Xubai asked again.

"Yes." Xia Qi replied: "I originally planned to find another time to discuss this matter with the prince, but this morning I learned that the queen mother asked about me from someone else, so I came here in a hurry."

"Queen?" Xu Qingjian was a little dazed listening.

Why did this person get involved with the queen mother? Although he had never met the queen mother, he also knew that the queen mother was in power now, and she held great power, so she was not a character to be trifled with.

Hearing Xu Qingjian's voice, Shen Xubai and Xia Qi turned to look at him together.

"Sorry, you are ignoring me." Xu Qingjian knew that he was talking too much, so he quickly covered his mouth.

Xia Qi gave him a strange look, and then looked at Shen Xubai: "Brother, I just wanted to ask why my sister-in-law doesn't remember me when I haven't seen him for a few years."

"Leave him alone." Shen Xubai also glanced at Xu Qingjian.

So Xia Qi discussed with Shen Xubai again, Xu Qingjian didn't know Xia Qi's identity, so he couldn't understand what they were talking about, not to mention that he didn't know anything about this complicated court affairs.

It was like this when he was loyal to Xia Yun in the past, all he needed to do was make a sharp knife.

After chatting for about an hour, Shen Xubai and Xia Qi hadn't finished yet, but Xu Qingjian was already drowsy.

He just felt that it would be better to avoid it earlier, so as not to doze off here.

Xu Qingjian was sitting on the chair, yawning non-stop, tears welled up with the yawns, his head was like a chicken pecking at rice, little by little.

Until Xu Qingjian's head suddenly nodded sharply, and he was about to fall to the ground.

When Shen Xubai was talking to Xia Qi, he even stretched out his hand to support Xu Qingjian's chin.

"...Huh?" Xu Qingjian woke up suddenly and sat up straight.

"Go to sleep on your stomach on the table." Shen Xubai said in an unhappy tone.

Xu Qingjian didn't shirk, stood up, walked to the desk and sat down, and lay down on the desk.

"Anyway, don't mess yourself up, just keep pretending to be crazy, and I'll find out what the Queen Mother has to say." Shen Xubai said to Xia Qi.

Xia Qi nodded, respectfully said: "I see."

Shen Xubai gave Xia Qi some other instructions, and let him leave first.
