Rebirth of the Duke's Daughter and the Little Imperial Uncle

Chapter 90 I'm sorry, Brother Xi

After that, He Yanxi often went out of the palace to visit Qin Yaoyao at the Duke's mansion. However, their happiness was short-lived. Not long after, Qin Yaoyao accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by He Yanxi, who then took her back to the mansion. Despite the timely rescue, Qin Yaoyao fell seriously ill with a high fever, resulting in the loss of her previous memories. Therefore, over the years, He Yanxi could only visit her secretly.

Nestled in He Yanxi's arms, Qin Yaoyao said with deep remorse, "I'm sorry, Brother Xi. If only I had remembered everything sooner, you wouldn't have had to endure so much pain and hardship." He Yanxi gently stroked her nose and softly replied, "It wasn't your fault. It was just an accident. Besides, you've regained your memories now, haven't you?"

Qin Yaoyao nodded obediently and then said, "Well, Brother Xi, do you know when I started to regain my memories?" He Yanxi looked at her intently, quietly waiting for her to continue.

Qin Yaoyao winked playfully and said in a sweet voice, "It was when I was pushed into the water by Liu Xiaoyu and lost consciousness that I suddenly remembered things from my childhood." Qin Yaoyao was indeed not lying. Perhaps because of her rebirth, she was able to recall the memories she had forgotten from her childhood in this life, which solved the doubts in her two lives.

Qin Yaoyao smiled and said softly, "It's a good thing that Brother Xi was waiting for me, otherwise I would have regretted it to death. Actually, I felt that you were familiar before, as if I had seen you somewhere before, but I could never remember. Later, when you went to the battlefield, I felt even more that I was just overthinking it." As she spoke, Qin Yaoyao hugged He Yanxi's arm tightly, her smile as bright as the sun.

He Yanxi responded gently, "Yes, I see. Although time may have forgotten our friendship, it will always be etched in our hearts." Qin Yaoyao nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

The two embraced for a while longer before He Yanxi reluctantly left. Qin Yaoyao quickly drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, upon returning to the Prince's residence, He Yanxi was immediately informed by Lan Feng, "Your Highness, Changde has not agreed to our request." He Yanxi frowned slightly and asked, "Is it because the Duke of Ningguo approached him?" Lan Feng nodded and replied, "Yes." He Yanxi narrowed his eyes, his fingers lightly tapping the table, and said thoughtfully, "In that case, we must find something for Changde to do, pull him down from the Jingji Camp, and replace him with one of our men." Lan Feng acknowledged and turned to leave.

He Yanxi also went back to his room to rest. Lan Feng was very efficient; within a few days, Changde was removed from his position as general of the Jingji Camp. It turned out that someone had accused him of condoning his subordinates' killing of civilians and disregarding human life. The Emperor took this matter very seriously and immediately launched an investigation. He discovered that although Changde had not directly participated, as a general, he had failed to control his subordinates, leading to their unbridled behavior. This behavior seriously violated military discipline, greatly displeasing the Emperor. The Emperor had long harbored the idea of ​​replacing Changde, but had not found a suitable opportunity. Now, this accusation provided the Emperor with a legitimate reason, so he swiftly took action, demoting Changde and confining him to his home. Upon hearing this news, He Yanxi's face showed little expression; he simply nodded slightly to indicate he understood. Then, he continued to bury himself in his work, as if it were all expected.
