Next to Mr. Nan Xi, the man wearing a dark red robe and looking happy was... Shen Ziyan.
The moment Shuangxi saw Shen Ziyan, his body trembled, his steps staggered a little, and he almost fell.
If the person beside her hadn't helped her, Shuangxi would have made a fool of herself.
Perhaps it was because he came to attend Mr. Nanxi's wedding ceremony that Shen Ziyan deliberately looked more festive. His hair was pulled up with jade buttons, and he looked elegant and handsome.
Shuangxi stood there, looking at this familiar but unfamiliar face, a little crazy.
Shen Ziyan seemed to notice someone looking at him, turned his head slightly, and nodded gently to Shuangxi as a greeting.
He didn't think much about it. Although Shuangxi's eyes were obsessed with him just now, he felt that they were not looking at him, but at Nanxi.
Shen Ziyan smiled gently and said, "This girl is born well. You are lucky."
Mr. Nanxi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your blessing."
Shen Ziyan smiled and said: "The auspicious time is coming, let's get started."
Shuangxi had already walked in at this moment, and everything Shen Ziyan said fell into her ears.
These words were so harsh, like a knife piercing Shuangxi's heart.
Although Shuangxi knew that something must have happened to Shen Ziyan that she didn't know about, otherwise even if Shen Ziyan betrayed him, he would not be so calm and face him as if he were a stranger.
But these words still came from Shen Ziyan's mouth, and they truly fell in Shuangxi's ears and in Shuangxi's heart.
Shuangxi told herself not to be sad. This was not what Shen Ziyan really wanted to say, but in her heart, she still felt a little bit sad.
This sadness is not all because of hearing such words, but more because I feel sorry for Shen Ziyan.
What happened? What made Ziyan become like this? Shuangxi felt a little sad in his heart.
Looking at Shen Ziyan's familiar face, Double Happiness reminded me of the days in Qingshi Village, Anqing. At that time, although life was a little more miserable, there was not so much ups and downs.
Mr. Nanxi walked to Shuangxi's side and took Shuangxi's hand, pulling Shuangxi back from his chaotic thoughts.
Mr. Nanxi's hands have a thin layer of calluses from playing the piano all the year round. They are not as rough as the hands of martial arts practitioners, but they are not the kind of white and tender hands either.
The long, well-jointed hands held Shuangxi's catkin, and invisibly gave Shuangxi strength.
Shuangxi's cold hand made Mr. Nanxi's heart tremble slightly. He squeezed Shuangxi's hand, hoping to give Shuangxi some warmth.
Mr. Nanxi deliberately slowed down his pace so that Shuangxi could keep up.
"Sir..." Shuangxi moved his lips, wanting to say something.
Mr. Nanxi shook his head gently: "Nanxi."
Only then did Shuangxi realize that he couldn't call him sir today.
The other men hid themselves so as not to be exposed.
In the courtyard, all the guests who were unknown to Shuangxi were looking at Shuangxi with various eyes.
He seemed to be guessing why Nanxi would marry such an orphan girl.
But when they saw Shuangxi's appearance and demeanor, they understood.
Anyone would be willing to marry such a woman! Nanxi really has a good vision.
Nan Zhao's wedding ceremony is very simple, it involves worshiping gods and swearing blood.
The so-called blood oath is to mix the blood of two people together and drink it in wine, which means that the two people will not be indebted to each other in the future.
When the needle pricked Shuangxi's finger, Shuangxi, who was in a state of confusion, didn't feel any pain at all.
Mr. Nanxi raised the fused wine bowl, drank most of it himself, and handed the rest to Shuangxi.
Mr. Nanxi is extremely sacred and serious at this moment, without any sense of fraud.
Shuangxi was slightly stunned, but still drank the wine.
Next came the dinner. Mr. Nanxi, Shuangxi and Shen Ziyan sat at a table.
On this table, there are two other important ministers of Nan Zhao.
"Congratulations to Master Nan and Mrs. Nan..."
"congratulations……"
Shuangxi was sitting with Shen Ziyan at the moment. He couldn't help but want to see Shen Ziyan, but he was afraid that he would be too obvious, so he was a little absent-minded. When the two adults talked to Shuangxi, Shuangxi didn't hear him.
Mr. Nanxi reached out and squeezed Shuangxi's hand under the table.
Then he said respectfully and politely: "The two adults are surprised. The bride is inevitably a little shy..."
Shuangxi's face suddenly turned red when Nan Xi pinched her like this, which really confirmed what Mr. Nan Xi said.
The two adults were a little unhappy just now, feeling that the double happiness had offended both of them, but now they are laughing.
Yes, the bride is a little embarrassed at the moment, which is understandable!
You know, their wives were fiery and enthusiastic before getting married, but on the day of getting married, they were also coy.
"Come, let's drink! I wish you two a happy marriage!"
This time Shuangxi raised his wine glass with a smile, and said with a blushing face: "Thank you, sir."
"Your Majesty, my wife and I respect you!" Nan Xi said.
Shen Ziyan nodded slightly, drank the wine in front of him without hesitation, and then said with a smile: "This wine of yours is really good. I haven't drunk such good wine in many years!"
Shuangxi frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
Shuangxi calmed down his emotions and said to himself, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, think slowly about what is wrong!
Wine, yes, there is something wrong with this wine!
Shuangxi grasped the key point and continued to think about it.
Shen Ziyan didn't like drinking before! Even though he occasionally drank alcohol at home, Shen Ziyan only tasted it lightly.
As for distinguishing good from bad wine? How could Shen Ziyan know this if he doesn't like drinking?
Also, Shen Ziyan said that he had not drunk such a good wine in many years. In other words, had he ever drunk it before?
When was that? Shen Ziyan fled from Nanzhao to Anqing when he was young. Life was difficult, and of course there was no good wine!
Although he had the opportunity to drink such wine when he was in Nanzhao, how old was he at that time? How could he drink?
Even if he had really drunk this kind of wine before, he acted like he had lost his memory now, so how could he remember this?
Shuangxi became suspicious in his heart.
After thinking about it over and over again, I broke out in a cold sweat!
After carefully observing Shen Ziyan today, Shuangxi was convinced that Shen Ziyan really did not remember her. He even had no memory of the meeting with him in the wedding dress shop.
That can only mean one thing. In Shen Ziyan's mind, there is no such person at all!
The more I think about Double Happiness, the more confused I become!
The thoughts in his mind were chaotic. These thoughts were entangled in Shuangxi's mind like a tangle, making Shuangxi feel suffocated.
Shuangxi couldn't help but hold onto Mr. Nanxi's hand.
Mr. Nanxi noticed Shuangxi's nervousness and tightened his grip...
Shuangxi simply didn't think about the things that were getting more and more confusing in his mind, but carefully observed Shen Ziyan, hoping to find something useful.
Shen Ziyan should be...not just a simple amnesiac!
Shen Ziyan put down his wine glass and began to eat the exquisitely arranged side dishes.
Speaking of which, the rulers of Nanzhao's past dynasties were not very arrogant. It was often the case that they would sit at the same dining table with their ministers to eat.
From the time Shen Ziyan came out of the palace and took the goddess to visit folk shops, we can know the way the king of Nanzhao got along with the people of Nanzhao.
There is a dish on the plate. It's called bamboo rat, which is considered a good game.
Shuangxi noticed that Shen Ziyan seemed to like eating bamboo rats...
Her eyes flickered slightly.
She didn't know anything else, but Shen Ziyan didn't like eating this bamboo rat at all!
In Shen Mo's words, when they were poor in the mountains they couldn't afford to eat, so they ate whatever they caught, including rats... they also ate them.
I remember one time, Su Yu, who was very wealthy, prepared a table of game for everyone to eat.
There are bamboo rats in there!
At that time, Shen Ziyan, who had never been picky about food, turned green!
Bamboo rats and mice are of course not the same kind of thing, but the miserable days of those years really cast such a deep shadow on the Shen brothers that they never liked eating these so-called "games!"
Even though Shen Ziyan later raised game, Shen Ziyan only brought back common things like rabbits and deer to eat a few times. Shen Ziyan never brought back weird things like bamboo rats!
When Shuangxi saw Shen Ziyan acting so abnormally, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
A person's memory can be lost, but the living habits developed over many years will not be lost!
Take this bamboo rat for example. Shen Ziyan usually doesn't like to eat it, so he definitely won't like it because of his amnesia.
And that wine, Shen Ziyan in front of him has already had a few drinks...
Has Shen Ziyan ever liked drinking so much?
Shen Ziyan...has not lost his memory! Because the person in front of him is probably not Shen Ziyan!
The person in front of me is not Shen Ziyan, so where has the real Shen Ziyan gone?
Shuangxi's heart sank, and his hands began to tremble.
Shuangxi picked up the wine bottle, pressed a switch slightly, stood up and poured wine for Shen Ziyan, and then said: "This glass of wine is from Xiao Cui to thank His Majesty."
Xiaocui, of course, this name is fake. In order to prevent anyone from hearing the name Shuangxi, everyone had already discussed it, and Shuangxi changed her name to Xiaocui...
Shen Ziyan drank the wine very freely.
Shuangxi sat back and observed calmly. After a while, Shen Ziyan felt a little dizzy.
"Your Majesty is probably a little too drunk, so why not take a rest here first." Mr. Nanxi said with a smile.
While talking, he let Shen Ziyan go down.
After half a stick of incense, Shuangxi also found a reason to leave.
She walked around to the guest room and met with Su Yu, Shen Bingxian, and Mo Xiao who had been waiting there for a long time.
Everyone else is hiding. Having too many people doesn't necessarily work.
"Xi'er, don't worry. If Ziyan really loses her memory, we will definitely cure her." Mo Xiao solemnly promised.
Shuangxi told several people what happened during the dinner.
Several people were lost in thought.
Su Yu said: "Time waits for no one, let's go take a look first. If there is really someone disguised as Zi Yan, we will definitely find it soon!"
Shuangxi nodded and followed everyone into the house.
Shen Ziyan had already fallen asleep.
This is the medicine prepared by Shen Bingxian. When an attack occurs, there is a process, which is the same as being drunk, making people a little confused. So when Nanxi suggested that Shen Ziyan come here to rest, Shen Ziyan did not object.
That familiar face was undoubtedly Shen Ziyan, but it felt so strange to Shuangxi.
Shen Bingxian stepped forward, checked Shen Ziyan's temples, and then shook his head.
It means that Shen Ziyan is not disguised. The person in front of him is really Shen Ziyan.
Shuangxi came closer, grabbed Shen Ziyan's hand, and observed it carefully.
Shen Ziyan's hands were particularly calloused because he had been using a knife to chop firewood all year round.
The man in front of him also had calluses in the tiger's mouth. Although he looked better than before, Shuangxi knew that it should be the past two years of life that had healed Shen Ziyan's hands.
Shuangxi's eyebrows tightened, and he rushed over without thinking and took off Shen Ziyan's clothes.
Several men looked strange...
Of course, Shuangxi is not a picky one. When Shuangxi saw the faint scar on Shen Ziyan's shoulder, Shuangxi bit his lips tightly. It was clearly Shen Ziyan!
Such deep scars will fade little by little over a long period of time. Even if someone wants to imitate them, they cannot imitate them overnight.
Shen Bingxian felt Shuangxi's pulse, and then looked at Mo Xiao.
Mo Xiao also came up to take a look.
The last two summed it up: "If it is amnesia, it means there is congestion in the brain. Ziyan does not have such symptoms."
Shuangxi suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Could Zi Yan be... could he be... the same as her?
Thinking of this possibility, Shuangxi broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, Shen Ziyan suddenly started murmuring: "Xi'er, go quickly, I'm not... I... I'm not..."
"What am I not?" Su Yu asked in a deep voice.
"I'm not me...I'm not me! That's right! Ziyan is telling me! He is not Shen Ziyan!" Shuangxi suddenly shouted!
"Xi'er, why are you talking nonsense? Ziyan keeps calling you. This must be Ziyan..." Mo Xiao said.
"No, this is not Ziyan!" Shuangxi said firmly.
Shuangxi asked Shen Bingxian to wake up Shen Ziyan. If Shen Ziyan fell asleep, she would never know the truth.
When Shen Ziyan woke up and turned around, he was startled when he saw the sudden appearance of more people in the room, and was about to speak.
Shuangxi asked quietly: "Who are you?"
Shen Ziyan's shoulders trembled slightly, but everyone braced themselves to observe him, and of course they saw this subtle movement.
"Presumptuous! Don't you know me?" Shen Ziyan said coldly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
