Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 351 Never heard of Soul Loss

To his surprise, he seemed not to have heard Gu Qingyue's question at all. He looked up at Gu Qingyue, his eyes sparkling.

"Let me give it a try, and please correct me if I'm wrong, Miss Gu," Master Zhang said impatiently, picking up his charcoal pencil again to draw on the paper.

Gu Qingyue froze, a few black lines sliding down her forehead.

"Wait a moment, I'll draw it when I have time," Lin Shanzhang gestured to stop him, his eyes smiling. "It's already noon, Lanzhi, have someone prepare lunch first."

Upon hearing this, Yun Lanzhi immediately stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and went to arrange lunch. Gu Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Master Zhang again and saw that he had already picked up a pen and was drawing on the paper. Gu Qingyue wanted to facepalm.

Is this what they call a top student? Already so outstanding, and still so focused?! Doesn't that leave room for others to live?!

After lunch, Gu Qingyue said goodbye to the three of them.

Gu Yuanen escorted Gu Qingyue down the mountain, and the two finally had time to leisurely enjoy the scenery of the century-old academy.

The spirit of scholars is truly omnipresent; it is indeed a sacred place for nurturing people.

There is no winding stream for floating wine cups, but there are ancient trees that have stood for thousands of years; there are no upturned eaves or golden houses with black tiles, but there is an ancient morning bell, exuding a dignified and solemn atmosphere.

Gu Qingyue said that she had never seen a school with such a rich cultural atmosphere in her previous life, really.

"Fourth Brother, that Master Zhang..."

Gu Qingyue couldn't help but ask.

Gu Yuanen raised his folding fan and tapped it on Gu Qingyue's forehead.

She said irritably, "I told you not to ask, but you insisted. You're so willful!"

After saying that, he laughed.

Gu Qingyue rubbed her forehead, her smile becoming even more ingratiating. She was internally screaming like a cat's claws! That Master Zhang just seemed a little strange!

“Your feeling is right, Master Zhang is different from ordinary people,” Gu Yuanen thought of something, his smile slowly faded, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Gu Qingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, "How is it different?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanen turned his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "He suffers from amnesia."

What? What? 'Aphasia'? Gu Qingyue's mind went blank for a moment.

"What do you mean? Your soul is lost?" Gu Qingyue asked uncertainly. Since coming to this world, she had studied many medical books of this era, but she had never heard of soul loss.

Gu Yuanen glared at him, annoyed. "It wasn't me who said it, it was a mysterious itinerant doctor. Besides, the soul-loss syndrome isn't about losing your soul, but about forgetting a lot of your past memories."

Amnesia?!

Isn't that the same as Qin's previous symptoms?

Gu Qingyue felt a little relieved. If there was anything in this world that could steal a person's soul, she wanted to go back to her space. She couldn't compete with those mystical things!

Seeing Gu Qingyue standing there in a daze, Gu Yuanen tapped his fan again.

Hiss... Gu Qingyue sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"Ouch!" Fourth Brother has gone astray!

But then she realized what she'd forgotten and became interested again. "Tell me, what have you forgotten? How did you get this amnesia?"

Gu Yuanen was speechless at his younger sister's sudden burst of gossip. "It's said that he forgot the memories of the years he traveled, which should be the memories of when he was eighteen to twenty-two. Isn't that strange?"

Gu Yuanen paused and then said, "I heard from the teacher that when Master Zhang was eighteen, he had a falling out with the old Marquis. He was young and impetuous and went out to travel."

For four years there was no news of him, then he suddenly returned to the capital at the age of twenty-two, but he just couldn't remember what had happened in between. Isn't that strange?

After recounting everything in one breath, Gu Yuanen leaned closer to Gu Qingyue with a hint of gossip, "You're the Little Divine Doctor, tell me, how did this happen? You forgot everything about your travels, but you remember everything before and after your travels..."

After saying that, he waited for Gu Qingyue's reply.

His eyes sparkled, full of curiosity.

Gu Qingyue glanced at it, then her face instantly turned serious. She arrogantly raised her chin and said, "I'm not telling you! Humph, I'll let you hit me!"

After saying that, she walked lightly down the mountain, like a proud peacock.

Gu Yuan'en was left standing there dumbfounded...

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Qingyue rested her chin on her hand and began to ponder. Aphasia? Amnesia? Forgetting everything that happened during her four years of travels—that's very strange!

Something must have happened, or perhaps someone was injured or upset?

This is different from Qin's amnesia. Qin selectively forgot about Lingyun Temple and Gu Qingyue's loss due to pain, but her other memories were normal.

But Master Zhang... has completely forgotten everything that happened in the past four years. This seems incredibly strange!

Gu Qingyue suddenly became interested and decided to go back and check the medical books carefully, hoping to find relevant records!

If this amnesia could be cured... just thinking about it is so exciting!

However, the Yong'en Marquis's residence... Gu Qingyue's heart skipped a beat!

Could it be related to Rong Qingqing?

I recalled Rong Qingqing's hesitant manner when she spoke of the Yong'en Marquis's residence...

Immediately, Gu Qingyue shook her head, banishing the absurd thought from her mind. Her habit of letting her imagination run wild anytime, anywhere was no good!

By the time they entered the city gate, Gu Qingyue was already drowsy.

This constantly bumpy carriage was so comfortable to sleep in!

It's only natural that she fell asleep after leaving the academy until now.

"Master," Jiang Wan shook Gu Qingyue's arm, trying to wake her up.

"What is it?" Gu Qingyue opened her hazy eyes slightly when she heard Jiang Wan's voice.

"We're almost at He Tai Feng," Jiang Wan whispered, adjusting the position of the pillow for Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue sat up straight with a start.

Yes, this is the second time she's had acupuncture today. She lifted the curtain and looked out; the sun was already setting, and it was dinnertime.

There was still more than half an hour left before my appointment with Mu Yun Chu, so it would be perfect to have a meal at He Tai Feng first.

As soon as Gu Qingyue stepped into He Tai Feng, she regretted it so much that she wanted to punch the wall.

What wind blew in?

As soon as they entered, they were met with the Eighth Prince's amazed and covetous eyes, with Mu Yunjing and Yue Zhiqi standing behind them.

fall!

Gu Qingyue felt that it must be because she got out of the car in the wrong way, otherwise how could she have encountered such an unlucky person as soon as she entered the door?

"Miss Gu the Third," the Eighth Prince raised his voice.

His voice was filled with barely suppressed surprise.

He took a few quick steps, blocked Gu Qingyue's path, and began to scrutinize her intently, his eyes filled with intense lust.

Gu Qingyue felt like she was going to vomit blood!

I remember at the last palace banquet, she was quite cunning and kept avoiding running into the Eighth Prince.

She kept her head down as much as possible when the emperor asked her questions.

Of course, the reason I feel like vomiting blood now is also because I feel a little guilty for scheming against this guy at the Spring Festival banquet.

But what's going on now?

Wasn't the Eighth Prince keeping a close eye on Princess Lianfu the whole time at the banquet? Why did he change his target so quickly?

She wasn't afraid of the Eighth Prince, but rather of trouble; hadn't the Emperor placed him under house arrest?

Why are you jumping around everywhere?

Is the lockdown just a joke?

Gu Qingyue suppressed the urge to kick the person away and gave a slight curtsy, "Greetings, Prince Jing, Eighth Prince, and Third Prince."

"No need for formalities," the Eighth Prince couldn't help but step forward and reach out to support Gu Qingyue's arm.

She could have dodged it, but with so many people around and so much gossip, she couldn't use force, so she had to endure it, which is why he caught her red-handed.

Gu Qingyue immediately stepped back, "Thank you, Eighth Prince."

She subtly freed her arm, feeling as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. Suppressing her anger, Gu Qingyue lowered her head and moved aside.
