Chu Ninghan moved the hand that was supporting his forehead and covered his eyebrows as if nothing had happened.

"Jiang Li, I want to hear your answer."

Jiang Li looked at Chu Ninghan steadily. His voice was still cold and indifferent, and there was no sign of any problem.

"Never mind. It's not like I can't tell you."

Jiang Li finally sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Because he had a wound on his face back then, he always had his face covered."

"lie."

Chu Ninghan put down his hand and turned to stare at Jiang Li.

Although he couldn't remember the past, Jiang Li was really someone he cared about.

Then, he would not hide anything in front of Jiang Li.

Unless... his concern for Jiang Li is more than just simple.

Given his temperament, the more he cares about a person or something, the less likely he will reveal any of it until he is absolutely sure he can have it.

He would only hide the things he cared about where no one could find them.

He was forced to flee because of the unrest in Prince Yong's Palace due to the emperor's accession to the throne.

The place he was in was not safe when he met Jiang Li. The more Jiang Li knew, the less safe it became. He did not want Jiang Li to be implicated by him.

So, Jiang Li didn’t even know his name, let alone what he looked like.

Could it be that at that time, he cared so much about Jiang Li that he didn't want to let Jiang Li know the slightest danger?

Why is Jiang Li so important to him?

"I don't have to lie."

Jiang Li was also tough this time, she said in a cold voice.

"My Lord, if I knew what the little brother looked like, I would go look for him myself. Why would I need to go to Prince Yong's Mansion?"

She really didn't lie to Chu Ninghan, she just didn't tell the whole story.

As a person who was also abandoned, the little brother had long been stranded in the deep forest.

When he rescued her, he was wearing a mask that covered his entire face.

Later, most of the mask was destroyed while saving her, leaving only the lower half. Only then did she see the little brother's eyes and forehead.

She also saw that the little brother had a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, but in order to save her, the mole was destroyed, leaving a scar the size of a fingernail between his eyebrows.

Da Zhou has always attached great importance to appearance, and that scar can be considered disfigurement.

Later, she was taken back to the Anguo Mansion, where she secretly searched for something that could remove the scar.

After getting the prescription for the Fortune Golden Lotus Paste, I immediately looked for the Golden Lotus of the East China Sea.

The Prince Yong's Mansion was able to obtain clues about Fengcheng and successfully obtain the Golden Lotus of the East China Sea because the person she sent to find the Golden Lotus of the East China Sea was the one who successfully cultivated the Golden Lotus.

Without her guidance, they would never have been able to find Prince Yong's Mansion even if they searched the entire world.

"So your little brother doesn't necessarily care about you. You don't even know his name or appearance, so why are you so persistent in looking for him?"

Chu Ninghan's words were really impolite, and were deliberately stabbing people in the heart.

Jiang Li's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even his breathing became much faster, and his chest rose and fell with anger.

However, due to the information about the Medicine Valley that Chu Ninghan gave her, she could not directly confront Chu Ninghan.

"This has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Prince Yong."

These words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.

Chu Ninghan said in a steady voice, "You don't need to consider whether it has anything to do with me. You just need to answer my questions. This is the price you have to pay."

"Your Majesty should not lead troops to fight, but go to the Dali Temple to interrogate prisoners."

Jiang Li sneered and said reluctantly: "He saved my life, so I'm looking for him to repay him."

The little brother is already her closest relative in this world.

"But what if he doesn't want you to repay the favor at all, and doesn't even tell you his name, doesn't let you know his name, just because he doesn't want you to continue to pester him."

Chu Ninghan snorted coldly, "Jiang Li, are you sure you want to continue looking for him?"

"Yes, as long as I am alive, I will not give up looking for him."

Jiang Li stared at Chu Ninghan intently, his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves.

She had to hold back. She had checked Chu Ninghan's brows before and knew he couldn't be the little brother.

And what Chu Ninghan said now was just to irritate her.

He wanted to get more information about his little brother from her!

Jiang Li suspected that the only information Chu Ninghan knew about her little brother was the information she had received from Yufeng to lure her into the trap.

Otherwise, why would he keep talking about her past with her little brother in every word he said?

And you even speculate about her relationship with her little brother out of thin air!

Provoke her maliciously!

Chu Ninghan knew nothing.

She and her little brother depended on each other back then. They were like family.

In this world, if there is anyone she can trust without any worries and risk her life for, there is only one little brother.

Even though she didn't know the little brother's name, she didn't know what he looked like.

However, she knew that he was the only one who could come to her regardless of the consequences.

"Ah."

A sound that sounded like both a sneer and a mockery seemed to float out from between Chu Ninghan's lips and teeth.

"Foolish! Have you ever thought about why he never came to see you since he knew your name and appearance? Isn't that enough for you to be clear-headed? Maybe he has already forgotten about you, this burden."

Every word and sentence is extremely hurtful.

"Your Highness has been trying to stop me again and again because you have no clues about my little brother, so you want to get something out of me?"

Jiang Li still couldn't hold back his anger, and spoke frankly, saying what was in his heart.

Before Chu Ninghan could deny it, she sneered again.

"Or is it that the prince is him? That's why he knows his thoughts so well?"

Chu Ninghan suddenly fell silent. It was no longer possible to provoke Jiang Li and get more questions out of her.

Seeing that he stopped talking again, Jiang Li refused to give in.

"Isn't the prince very eloquent?"

She gritted her teeth and spoke angrily.

"Why are you silent now? Which one did I guess correctly?"

Chu Ninghan still had a blank expression on his face, showing no emotion, and he didn't say a word, just sitting there like an old monk.

"But how could the prince be him? He wouldn't get what he wants by angering me like the prince did."

Jiang Li tried her best to suppress the anger and bitterness rising in her throat, and a smile appeared on her face.

"My Lord, please do not test me again. I will not tell you anything. I have already paid you back for the news about Medicine Valley."

After saying that, she stood up.

"It's getting late. Goodbye."

The corners of Chu Ninghan's lips twitched slightly, and he was about to say something.

Jiang Li paused slightly when he reached the door, and his voice came back.

"My Lord, before we reach our next deal, I hope that the news you tell me about my little brother is not what we talked about today."

Chu Ninghan sat quietly without saying anything until Jiang Li's footsteps faded away and the moonlight climbed up the wall.

"Master, there is a message from Divine Doctor Baili. He has already set off for the capital."

The secret guard appeared like a ghost and placed a piece of letter on the table.

He added: "In addition, news about Qingyang has also been reported back."

Before Chu Ninghan returned to Beijing from the Immortal Doctor Valley, he sent people to Qingyang.
