A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

"Now you can tell me what happened."

After a difficult lunch, Kong An noticed that although Bei Tangyan was awake, something seemed to have happened to him.

While Prince An was still trying to keep things mysterious, Kong An couldn't help but start speculating: Could it be that Beitang Yan had been unconscious all along, and with one major obstacle gone, other princes had made some moves, forcing Yu Chuan to find a substitute?

"Cough cough cough, cough..."

Kong An, who was drinking digestive tea, was so startled by his own thought that he gasped for breath, resulting in his face and neck turning red from coughing.

"No matter how good the tea in my house is, you don't need to be in such a hurry. No one is going to take it from you."

Kong An recovered and glared at the gloating Prince An.

"That was the thing you asked me to keep a secret, wasn't it? Stop acting all high and mighty just because you're all alone. Tell me the whole story now."

"Tsk, Master Kong and your two elder brothers are all calm and composed, how come you are so impetuous?"

"what."

Kong An, who was immediately amused, pretended to roll up his sleeves and said in a frosty tone, "Beitang Yuchuan, if you don't behave yourself, I'll let you know today whether my skills have declined over the years."

They were both once dashing young men, and although Prince An and Kong An now appear as gentle scholars, they were both quite skilled in the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and they certainly had their share of fighting in their youth.

"Alright, you get all worked up after just a few words. You're not nearly as carefree as I am."

Kong An squinted.

"You want to continue?"

Prince An shook his head.

"No, of course not. I'm a married man with a son, I wouldn't be so frivolous."

Kong Yu: "Three..."

"Hey... wait a minute, I'll say it."

Kong An smiled, but his eyes held a threatening glint as he raised his hand, signaling Prince An to continue.

This time, Prince An stopped making snide remarks about Kong An and gave him a complete account of what had happened since Qin Suiyou arrived at Prince An's residence.

After hearing this, Kong An found it utterly absurd.

"Although Qin Suiyou seems like a good kid, he's so young, and no one knew anything about him before. How could you be so sure that you'd entrust your son to him for treatment?"

Prince An did not show the look of being scolded awake that Kong An had imagined. Instead, he said in a matter-of-fact manner, "But it was also your first time meeting him, and you still thought he was a good kid."

Kong An was speechless and choked with emotion. He murmured a few times, then stubbornly said, "These can't be confused. Besides, look at your son now. Don't you suspect that he did something to him?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Prince An seemed disappointed in Kong An, clicking his tongue repeatedly.

"As expected, the old bachelor still can't understand how we parents understand our children. If Suiyou wanted to do something, he could have easily turned Yan'er into a puppet who only listens to him. Why go through all the trouble of making Yan'er lose his memory and become someone who has lost most of his common sense? Besides, this amnesia isn't necessarily a bad thing. You know that Yan'er didn't like to get close to people before, but yesterday, and today, you saw it too, right? He even served food to me and your sister-in-law."

This is also because when Beitang Yan was a child, Kong An visited the Prince An's residence. At that time, Beitang Yan was still a baby who couldn't speak much. Kong An wanted to touch his little chubby belly, but Beitang Yan turned his head away repeatedly, being extremely aloof. As a result, when he mentions Beitang Yan to the Prince An now, he always says "your son" instead of calling him "Little Yan" or "A-Yan," which are the usual terms of address used by elders in Beiqian to address their juniors.

So, it seems like temporarily losing my memory and changing my temper isn't such a bad idea... No way!

Kong An, who had almost been led astray and even suffered a personal attack, immediately came to his senses.

"What's wrong with me being an old bachelor? Besides, how is that not a bad thing? Don't you see what your good brothers have been up to because they're afraid of your son's military achievements? It would have been fine if he had just woken up properly, but now he doesn't know anything and he's not sure how to face the situation?"

"Hmm...that is indeed a problem."

Kong An asked, "So? What are you going to do?"

Prince An shook his head and said, "I will do nothing."

Kong An took a deep breath, about to curse, but Prince An interrupted him.

"It's not that they're really doing nothing. Yan'er's men aren't just good at fighting. These days they've been collecting evidence of crimes committed by those who are causing trouble. They'll do some harmless things, but if anyone crosses the line, there's always a way to deal with them."

Seeing that Kong An seemed to have been comforted and that the topic of him being an old bachelor had been successfully avoided, Prince An breathed a silent sigh of relief.

"Since you already know the truth, I won't say any more. I'll also keep quiet about your son waking up. I'm leaving now."

"No need to see me off, my sister-in-law is waiting for me to take a nap."

Kong An gave Prince An an ungraceful glare before walking out.

As Kong An went out, he felt like he had forgotten something. He thought about it for a while, and it wasn't until he went out the door and saw that Wei Zhen didn't see him off, but accompanied Prince An to the door and his face gradually disappeared through the crack in the door that he suddenly remembered.

"Bei...tang...yu...chuan! I curse you to be alone for the rest of your life!"

The servant who had served him for many years heard his master uttering the name of Prince An through gritted teeth and cursing, and couldn't help but say worriedly, "Master, we all know that you are on good terms with Prince An, but if others hear you saying such things, you will be in trouble."

Kong An had heard these words for countless years, but he did not continue cursing. He just grinned and pointed his index finger at the door for a while before giving up. With a flick of his sleeve, he boarded the carriage with the speed of the wind.

The gathering of friends here has temporarily come to an end, but a completely different scene is unfolding in the Wutong Courtyard.

Beitang Yan returned to the Wutong Courtyard and proudly showed Qin Suiyou the results of his practice with a pencil, which he had spent quite a while.

"How about it?"

Qin Suiyou nodded and said, "Not bad, you've improved a lot, and you're almost as good-looking as mine."

Beitang Yan pursed his lips and said, "That won't happen."

Qin Suiyou was puzzled. Wasn't this person confident this morning that he could write the three characters "Qin Suiyou" in an unparalleled way?

"Why not?"

"Um……"

After thinking for a moment, Beitang Yan said, "Because I think your handwriting is the most beautiful."

"How do you know how to talk?"

After ruffling Beitang Yan's head, Qin Suiyou asked, "Did you whisper sweet nothings to many people in the past when no one knew about it?"

Beitang Yan shook his head quite decisively.

"No."

"Really? But you don't remember anything from before either."

Seeing that Qin Suiyou did not believe him, Beitang Yan frowned and said, "I don't like to talk to other people, so how could I say sweet words? Besides, what I said just now was not sweet words, but just stating the facts."

Indeed, although Beitang Yan has lost his memory and his personality has changed drastically, he still treats everyone except Qin Suiyou the same as before. When his parents and sister get close, he still subconsciously keeps a distance.

Gently tugging at Beitang Yan's sparse cheek, Qin Suiyou said, "You're good at talking nonsense."

Beitang Yan retorted in a muffled voice, "I'm not making excuses."

Qin Suiyou refused to reason with him, saying only, "You're just making excuses now."

"No."

"There is."

"There isn't one."

"Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to take a nap. You stay here."

"No, I want to sleep too."

"Then go back to your room."

"I want to sleep with you."

"If you're going to be together, talk less."

"Oh."
