Everyone in the yard was looking at the man and woman lying on the ground.
Lian Youyou looked at Concubine Jing for a while, then reached out and snapped her fingers above Gu Changqing.
"Bang!" It was like a board hitting Gu Changqing's head, and he slowly woke up.
The figures of Lian Youyou and others appeared in his blurry vision.
Lian Youyou stood up and pushed back slightly. Lin Tingjun had already moved the chair behind her. She sat down and looked at Zhang Qing with a calm expression.
Patriarch Zhang and the others all sat at the round table in tacit understanding, watching Lian Youyou quietly.
"Hello." Lian Youyou said to Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing's vision gradually became clearer, and his expression became more and more confused as he saw the people. When he saw Patriarch Zhang, he stood up in surprise, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, obviously recognizing him.
"I said, I don't know what's going on here!" He yelled at Patriarch Zhang and the others.
Patriarch Zhang sighed softly and explained to Lian Youyou: "Miss Lian, actually when we first came in, we also thought that Master Gu was suspicious, because everyone loses their memory except him. But after investigating for so long, we really didn't find anything special about him." What Patriarch Zhang meant was that Gu Changqing was a complete mortal, not a demon, and even less an immortal.
Gu Changqing looked at everyone nervously, and suddenly found that Concubine Jing was still lying on the ground. He immediately helped Concubine Jing up: "Concubine Jing! Concubine Jing! What's wrong with you?! What did you do to her?!" He looked at Patriarch Zhang in awe.
"She just fell asleep." Lian answered slowly and calmly.
Only then did Gu Changqing look at Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou raised an eyebrow: "Is this interesting to you? You are trapped here with your lover for half a day, and your beloved only has half a day's memory of you."
Gu Changqing opened his eyes, lowered his head and hugged Concubine Jing tightly: "It's worth it! This way Concubine Jing won't die!"
"She won't die?" Lian Youyou sighed in her heart and looked at Gu Changqing seriously, "Every disappearance is a death. You are not saving her, you are trapping her soul and making her unable to reincarnate forever!" When Lian Youyou shouted, Gu Changqing's expression also became dull.
A gust of cold wind swept through this secluded courtyard. Lian Youyou's words surprised the people of the Old Nine Gates. They really didn't expect that everything in front of them would not only trap the living, but also affect the reincarnation of everyone here.
Lian Youyou sighed softly, looking at the dazed Gu Changqing, she still felt a little reluctant. She stood up and walked in front of Gu Changqing: "Let go, you are harming Concubine Jing by doing this."
Gu Changqing hugged Concubine Jing tightly and lowered his head: "But... But I don't know why it turned out like this..."
Lian Youyou revealed a faint, relieved smile: "Take me to where you live, I should be able to find the source of all this there."
Gu Changqing looked at the ground with a blank look: "Can we really... leave..."
Lian Youyou smiled faintly: "Don't worry, you can leave as long as you are willing to let go."
Gu Changqing slowly raised his face and looked at Lian Youyou in disbelief.
The entire palace was still searching for Gu Changqing, who had taken Concubine Jing away. Gu Changqing's yard was also closely guarded by the guards.
The Siyue Mansion where Gu Changqing was located was separated from the harem and not connected to it, but it was also within the imperial palace. This showed how huge this time barrier was, as it blocked off most of the imperial palace.
If the emperor had not been in the front palace at that time, he would probably have not been able to escape the disaster.
A group of people followed behind Lian Youyou, and Lian Youyou and Gu Changqing walked directly in the palace. Her arrogance and boldness surprised Zhang Menzhu and others.
Lian Youyou didn't hide or dodge, but walked straight forward. Gu Changqing was so surprised that he didn't dare to follow her for a while.
Just then, a group of eunuchs came over and when they saw Lian Youyou and the others, they shouted, "Who are you?!"
"Snap!" With a snap of the fingers, the eunuchs were immediately frozen in the air. Lian Youyou passed directly between them, her figure carrying the wind and striding forward.
Except for Lin Tingjun and his group, everyone from the Old Nine Sects and Gu Changqing stood there in shock. Even Sect Master Zhang and his group couldn't freeze everyone with a snap of their fingers, and Lian Youyou's snap was so easy, just like the Monkey King blowing a breath.
"I told you, my goddess is amazing." Duanmu Qingchen walked past them proudly, with an attitude of taking advantage of the power of others.
Fu Mingrui hurriedly walked between He Shiqi and Lin Tingjun, and the two men's eyes were fixed on his figure. Fu Mingrui quickly followed Lian Youyou, with deep worry on his face: "Youyou, do you know that the prince... was... was..." Fu Mingrui's face turned red again. His good brother was castrated, which made him very anxious, but he was still a little embarrassed to say it directly.
"I know." Seeing Fu Mingrui's expression of being unable to speak, Lian Youyou thought he was really a little cute. "It's okay, time will be restarted here, and Duanmu Qingchen's memory will be erased."
"It will be erased..." Fu Mingrui's heart sank for some reason, as if because of his past experience, he had always been bothered by the memory being erased. He had not yet asked Lian Youyou for the memory he had lost, because he was not sure whether getting that memory back would affect his current relationship with Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou looked at his tangled expression from the side and smiled: "This time is different, it's the power of time. If you want to stay, you can stay with me."
Fu Mingrui was slightly surprised and looked up at Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou glanced back at He Shiqi and Lin Tingjun, and the two men turned their heads away as if they had telepathically sensed that Lian Youyou's glance was not an expression of affection.
Lian Youyou retracted her cold gaze and looked at Fu Mingrui with a normal expression: "Do you want to get back the memories they erased?"
Fu Mingrui was startled, his black eyes flickered, and he hesitated again.
Fu Mingrui, who always acts decisively, often becomes hesitant and wavering around Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou smiled: "Actually, that memory is not important. You will naturally remember it after you die."
Fu Mingrui frowned. This sentence sounded a bit weird, as if he was waiting for his death.
"Mingrui, if I tell you that Duanmu Qingchen's affairs are related to your family, what will you do?" Lian Youyou's eyes showed seriousness.
Fu Mingrui was stunned, with surprise in his eyes. He did not ask Lian Youyou how she knew, because he knew Lian Youyou's ability. If she said that this matter was related to their Fu family, then it must be related!
Lian Youyou smiled slightly: "Mingrui, you shouldn't have come in. If you didn't come in, you could still pretend that you knew nothing. But now that you are here, what will you do if the emperor asks you to investigate?"
Fu Mingrui opened his eyes, and immediately pursed his red lips, his face solemn: "Is this matter really related to our family?"
Lian walked slowly for a while and nodded.
Fu Mingrui fell silent, and a haze darker than the sky at that moment began to cover his chest. (To be continued)
