My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 208 - 209: Amnesia?

Chapter 208: Chapter 209: Amnesia?

Chu Nanli nodded, "I know, that’s just a common hemostatic herb."

"Right, does the Princess Consort know another herb called ’Forgetten Root’?"

"I know, ’Forgotten Root’ looks almost exactly like Sheep’s Shallow Grass."

Chu Nanli looked at Chu Yi in surprise, "Why do you suddenly ask about these two herbs?"

Chu Yi did not answer but continued to ask Chu Nanli, "Does the Princess Consort know the difference between these two herbs?"

"Yes." Chu Nanli nodded and said, "The difference between these two herbs is very small, almost indistinguishable to anyone but a professional physician. The only difference is, taking too much ’Forgotten Root’ can cause one to lose part of their memory."

"Has the Princess Consort ever thought that the reason the Prince doesn’t remember that night might be because he accidentally consumed ’Forgotten Root’?" Chu Yi looked at Chu Nanli, his expression serious.

Upon hearing Chu Yi’s words, Chu Nanli was initially slightly shocked, and a moment later, her eyes slightly darkened.

"It is indeed possible. That night, Ye Yunting was injured and bled a lot, needing Sheep’s Shallow Grass for the bleeding. If the physician at the time wasn’t skilled enough, he might have mistaken ’Forgotten Root’ for Sheep’s Shallow Grass, leading to memory loss..."

"However, this is all speculation unless we can find evidence."

Chu Nanli looked at Chu Yi, her expression inquiring.

She knew that if Chu Yi mentioned this, he must have some evidence.

"Exactly."

Chu Yi nodded slowly.

"Upon investigation, I found that the back mountain of Xingshan Temple hardly had any Sheep’s Shallow Grass but was instead full of ’Forgotten Root.’ And that night, the Prince was cared for by a novice monk who was just beginning to learn medicine and couldn’t distinguish the herbs clearly."

"That night, the novice monk accidentally spilled the hemostatic soup and had to brew it again by himself. So, he went to the back mountain to pick ’Sheep’s Shallow Grass’ and prepared it for the Prince to drink."

"At that time, he didn’t know that the plants in the back mountain weren’t Sheep’s Shallow Grass, but were ’Forgotten Root’ instead."

After hearing Chu Yi’s words, Chu Nanli’s frown deepened.

"So, Ye Yunting lost his memory because he accidentally ingested ’Forgotten Root’ and that’s why he refused to acknowledge that night’s events..."

"Yes." Chu Yi nodded slowly.

Chu Nanli felt bittersweet.

That night, the original host had offered herself for the first time, and Ye Yunting had forgotten it all.

That wasn’t all; the child born that night was also regarded by him as illegitimate.

If Ye Yunting remembers the truth, who knows what he would think.

"Is there any way to make him remember sooner..." Chu Nanli said.

Chu Yi shook his head, looking somewhat apologetic, "Memory loss caused by Sheep’s Shallow Grass cannot be cured by any medicine currently. Unless subjected to some major shock, he might never remember."

"But I found the Jade Pendant the Prince left behind that night at Xingshan Temple."

Fearing Chu Nanli might get disheartened, Chu Yi quickly said, "This Jade Pendant is very significant to the Prince, and since returning from Xingshan Temple, he has been looking for it."

"The Princess Consort can take this Jade Pendant to confront the Prince."

Chu Yi handed the Jade Pendant to Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli took the dark green Jade Pendant and examined it carefully.

According to the memory of the original host, this was indeed the Jade Pendant Ye Yunting had worn that night.

But with just this Jade Pendant, Ye Yunting likely wouldn’t believe it.

"Check further to see if there’s any more evidence. Ye Yunting is a suspicious and wary person; without concrete evidence, he won’t easily believe it."

Chu Yi nodded slowly, "Yes, I’ll investigate right away."

Hearing this, Chu Yi then left.

After watching him leave, Chu Nanli held the Jade Pendant in her hand, feeling the smooth texture becoming more and more familiar.

It seemed like she had encountered it somewhere else before, but she couldn’t recall where at the moment.
