Chapter 25

Who is Qing??





Lady Xie and Yan Zichen arrived in an Inn outside the Ming country.


The man at the desk welcomed them jovially.


The man-- Welcome honoured guests. You...

Before he could speak further, both lady Xie and Zichen spoke at the same time.



Lady Xie- Two Rooms

Yan Zichen- One Room


Wei Ying-- why did you order only one room?

Yan Zichen- why is there a problem?



Wei Ying-- ( annoyed ) of course there's a problem! We are not yet acquainted enough to sleep in the same room!

And I don't like sleeping in the same room with others.



Yan Zichen-- but I used to share a room with you...



Wei Ying-- ( confused ) used to? What the hell...

If I did not get married in the place of the Ninth Princess, I would not have been out of the Chen country ever. How could I know you, Imperial advisor of the Ming country? How could you "USED TO" share a room with me of all people??



The man-- Guests, please listen first...



Yan Zichen-- have you forgotten the venomous insect in your body?



Wei Ying-- what? What has it got to do with one room?

( thinking ) Have I really lost my memory? Why can't I remember what he says?

I am the Second Son of a Serf family in the Chen country. I had a brother who was 3 years older than me. And I got two younger twin brothers. Then I grew up normally. Until I was captured by the Ninth princess to marry Yan Gui in her place.

My memory is complete. There isn't any loss or anything wrong.

( looking at Yan Zichen doubtfully ) Maybe you are the one who's wrong! Or did you mistake me for someone else?


The man-- ( irritated) Guests our Inn has just got two...


Yan Zichen nodded at him meaningfully. The man immediately changed his words.

'We have got Only One Room....


Yan Zichen-- Then that's it.

Bring meals and hot water in the room.



Wei Ying-- ( stupefied and angry, murmured ) There's something seriously wrong with you.....

On the other hand, Yan Gui arrived on his horse near the Inn.

A mysterious guard-- Flower Shadow at your service, My Lord. Lady Xie and Lord Yan are in an inn in this town.


Yan Gui-- ( face hard and ashen ) Lead the way.

In the Inn, both were having their meal.



Yan Zichen-- Qing... You did not eat anything during your four day Coma. You should be hungry. Eat this.

He gave a meat bone to Wei Ying in spite of his protest.

And Yan Zichen kept pestering him with -" Qing rest and Qing eat this, Qing let me see your pulse....and so on...."

Wei Ying was seriously pissed off after this went on for sometime, he couldn't hold his frustration.


Wei Ying-- What is Yan Zichen up to ? I am not Qing......

Wait...Qing, why is that name so familiar?

Oh yes!! Now I remember, it's my older brother. Mother used to Call him Qing.

My older brother left the house all of a sudden at the age of 12. And has lost contact with us since then. I cannot even recall how he looked like.



Yan Zichen-- Qing....? What are you...


Wei Ying-- ( stopping him ) Do you know someone named, Xie Qing?

Zichen-- ( smiling ) Qing, you've regained your memory! This is incredible!


Yan Zichen jumped up from his seat and embraced Wei Ying. Wei Ying was flabbergasted.

Zichen-- wonderful. You have regained your memory! You are Xie Qing!


Wei Ying-- ( taken aback ) wh-- what???!!! Wait....

After sometime once Wei Ying regained his senses, he calmed down.


Wei Ying-- ( sitting and thinking) That Xie Qing Zichen mentioned...could he be my older brother?

Perhaps. The name are the same. And mother told me that I resemble my older brother, and that's why Yan Zichen can mistook me for him.


But what's the relationship between them?

And why did Yan Zichen mistook me for my older brother? Where has he gone?


Before Wei Ying could word his thoughts, Yan Zichen went near him and kept blabbering how they used to have been close and had numerous fun.



Precisely at that moment, Yan Gui arrived outside the door and saw the two shadows standing close to each other. Mistaking it for something else, his fury rose.

In suppressed anger, he gritted his teeth.

His body shaking in mad fury.


Yan Gui-- Xie!! Huan!!!
