After transmigrating into the body of a stepmother, I led the villains in a rebellion.

Lin Shu withdrew his hand from his, a polite but awkward smile on his face.

After meeting the Empress Dowager, Li Che took Lin Shu back to Yikun Palace.

When they returned, Eunuch De was already waiting for them at Yikun Palace with Jiang Mubai.

Upon seeing Jiang Mubai, Li Che made no attempt to hide anything. "Shu'er, I know what has happened recently. The reason you are in so much pain is simply because you have lost your past memories. Once you regain your memories, you will no longer be in such pain."

"Therefore, I have specially invited the divine physicians from the Valley of Divine Physicians. They can cure the poison that caused your amnesia. Would you like to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu's gaze lingered on Jiang Mubai for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

Restore memory?

How can she, an outsider soul, regain her memories?

However, if this would put Li Che at ease and make him lower his guard, she wouldn't object.

Under Li Che's anxious gaze, Lin Shu slowly raised her eyes to look at him, "Your Majesty, what should we do if regaining my memories is still not what you expect?"

Li Che's heart tightened; he had never thought about this question before.

In his view, whether Lin Shuhui regains her memory or not, she will always be his concubine.

The reason for wanting Lin Shu to regain his memory was simply to prevent him from running away again.

Li Che gently held Lin Shu's hand and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Shu'er, no matter what the outcome, I will stay by your side."

Jiang Mubai watched quietly from the side. For some reason, he felt quite uncomfortable seeing Lin Shu's changed image from his previous irritable and indifferent one.

But seeing him tease Li Che, I felt inexplicably sorry for Li Che.

He may not yet realize that he is inviting trouble into his home. When he completely lets his guard down around Lin Shu, it will be a painful memory for him.

Taking the opportunity, Lin Shu withdrew his hand from Li Che's grasp, lowered his eyelids, and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Lin Shu is willing to give it a try."

Upon seeing this, the father-in-law quickly stepped forward and gave Jiang Mubai a wink, signaling that he could begin.

Jiang Mubai nodded slightly, took out a delicate little medicine bottle from his sleeve, and handed it to Lin Shu.

"Your Highness, Consort Lin, after taking this medicine, you will fall into a coma and gradually regain your memories while you are asleep."

"Of course, I will stay by your side during this time to make sure nothing unexpected happens to you."

“Okay,” Lin Shu happily accepted the medicine bottle from Jiang Mubai. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Dr. Jiang.”

Li Che, who was initially worried that Lin Shu would refuse, gradually relaxed after seeing Lin Shu accept the antidote from Jiang Mubai.

Lin Shu didn't hesitate much. After taking the medicine bottle, he opened it, poured out the pills, and put them in his mouth without any hesitation.

Even Jiang Mubai wanted to remind her to pay attention to her acting.

As he took the medication, Lin Shu felt a wave of dizziness and his body involuntarily swayed toward Li Che, who was nearby.

While unconscious, Lin Shu felt a slight stinging sensation in his head. Along with this stinging sensation, some blurry images began to surge in his mind, like shattered pieces of glass being slowly pieced together.

Lin Shu's memories span from her childhood until she lost her memory, including when she joined forces with Mo Yunwei to kill Lu Shiyuan's entire family, and how she was betrayed by Mo Yunwei and the people she brought with her.

Qin Zixuan's help was indispensable in this process.

Qin Zixuan wanted Lin Shu to forget Li Che, so he conspired with Mo Yunwei to make Lin Shu lose his memory.

However, he did not expect that Lin Shu would disappear after losing his memory, which ruined his original plan.

When Li Che saw Lin Shu faint, he quickly reached out and put his arm around Lin Shu, his eyes full of concern and anxiety.

This scene also tugged at Jiang Mubai's heartstrings, as he was also afraid that Lin Shu would regain his memories.

But what he fears even more is that Lin Shu will regain his past memories and lose his present ones.

Time passed slowly, and the palace remained silent except for the occasional faint flickering of candlelight.

Li Che stayed by Lin Shu's side the whole time, never leaving her side. His gaze was gentle yet firm, showing Lin Shu through his actions that he would be with her no matter where she was.

Finally, as night fell, Lin Shu's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by clarity.

She sat up, looked around, and finally fixed her gaze on Li Che, her voice trembling slightly, "Your Highness."

Upon hearing Lin Shu's voice, Li Che was initially delighted, but then froze.

Your Highness?

He immediately asked, "Shu'er, do you remember?"

Lin Shu looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Remember what?"

Upon hearing Lin Shu's answer, Jiang Mubai could no longer sit still and immediately stepped forward, "Your Highness, do you still remember who this humble subject is?"

Lin Shu shook his head, bewildered. "Who are you?"

Jiang Mubai felt a loud thud. "No way, what I feared most has come to pass."

"You really don't remember who I am?" Jiang Mubai was so frightened by the scene that he burst out laughing.

Lin Shu glanced at him with annoyance. This damned bastard was going to lose his composure if he kept pressing her for an answer.

They really have no sense of propriety.

He immediately turned to Li Che and said, "Your Highness, who is this person? Why is he so annoying?"

In an instant, Jiang Mubai realized the truth.

Shut up immediately.

For Li Che, this was an unexpected delight. Lin Shu only remembered him and had no recollection of her beloved husband, which was undoubtedly the best thing for him.

He immediately and gently pulled Lin Shulou into his arms to comfort him, "Alright, I'll send him away right away so that no one else can disturb us."

Taking the opportunity, Lin Shu snuggled into Li Che's arms and raised an eyebrow at Jiang Mubai.

Jiang Mubai gave her a look that said "enough is enough," then turned and left Yikun Palace.

Li Che gently stroked Lin Shu's hair, his eyes filled with tenderness. Finally, finally, Lin Shu completely belonged to him.

After Jiang Mubai left, Lin Shu pretended to be puzzled and looked at Li Che, cautiously probing, "Your Highness, why do you refer to yourself as '朕' (Zhen, the imperial "I" in Chinese)? Did I miss something?"

Li Che stared intently at Lin Shu, trying to see through her eyes to understand her thoughts.

However, Lin Shu's eyes remained clear and unwavering throughout, without any concealment or glimmer of emotion. This further convinced Li Che that while Lin Shu regained his memories, he had also lost nearly two years' worth of memories.

He immediately explained softly, "Yes, you missed two years. For the past two years, you've been sick and unconscious."

"It wasn't until just now that the divine physician Dr. Jiang from the Valley of Divine Physicians woke you up."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu feigned surprise and looked at him, "What? I was in a coma for two years."

"What about the Emperor and the Empress Dowager...?"

Before Lin Shu could finish speaking, Li Che interrupted her, "Now no one can stop us. My father has passed away, and I have inherited the throne. You are now my Imperial Concubine."
