The Crown Princess is reborn, and the three treasures compete to burn the family tree

In the past, Jiang Li was dignified, chaste, gentle, quiet, and well-mannered. She would never do such a thing.

After drinking, Jiang Li seemed like a different person, his every move was free and unrestrained.

No longer concerned with elegance and grace, act straightforwardly and go straight to the goal.

She stared at Chu Ninghan with a gloomy expression.

"Your Highness Prince Yong, just two questions, no less!"

I don’t know if it was because I had been drinking or because it was the first time I was so close to someone, but the aroma between my nostrils was strange yet familiar.

Under the blindfold, Chu Ninghan's face became even redder, and the redness was lost in the white collar.

He sat there like a wooden statue, motionless.

Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang Li clenched his teeth tightly.

She knew that Chu Ninghan would not speak easily, but to confirm the identities of Chu Ninghan and Chu Mingzhao, one question could not be answered.

These two questions are her bottom line.

Jiang Li let out a long sigh, she stood up and sat down again.

Dejectedly, he said, "How can Your Highness Prince Yong answer two questions?"

Since Chu Ninghan was unwilling to answer both questions, she had no choice but to raise the price again.

The aroma that was so close to him suddenly disappeared. Chu Ninghan's throat moved a few times, and his stiff fingers tightened the empty wine cup.

He said in a low, hoarse voice: "Okay."

Jiang Li's expression was slightly dull and he blinked his long eyelashes blankly.

He was already prepared for Chu Ninghan to ask for a high price so that he could take the opportunity to blackmail him.

But, Chu Ninghan suddenly agreed?

Chu Ninghan let go of the wine glass in his hand and looked at Jiang Li who was sitting opposite him with his eyes covered by a white scarf.

Once again, "Jiang Li, I allow you to ask two questions."

As Jiang Li got drunker, the thoughts in his mind became less controllable.

Chu Ninghan’s self-proclaimed title… It seemed that after Yufeng, he no longer called himself the King in front of her, nor did he put on airs as the King of Yong.

Maybe that's just why they worked together.

Jiang Li shook his head gently, forcing himself to focus on Chu Ninghan.

She opened her eyes and looked at Chu Ninghan again, but against the rippling light of the pool, she couldn't see Chu Ninghan's face clearly.

I just felt that he was more and more like the lotus flowers in the pond transformed into human beings, like a dream, ethereal and unreal.

Jiang Li stared blankly for a long time before slowly speaking.

"First question. Your Highness Prince Yong, who is the princess's biological mother?"

If you ask Chu Ninghan directly if he was the one who saved her back then, the answer would probably be the same as what was said on Yufeng Mountain.

As long as Chu Ninghan answers this question, she can directly confirm whether Chu Mingzhao is her child, and indirectly prove whether she has a relationship with Chu Ninghan.

Chu Ninghan fell silent again, his lips and teeth tightly pursed, and the peach-like blush on his face faded away.

Jiang Li didn't urge her, she just stared at Chu Ninghan silently.

"Why are you so concerned about Zhao Zhao's mother's affairs?"

Chu Ninghan finally spoke, but the first thing he said was a complete attack.

"Jiang Li, haven't you given up on trying to get close to me and Prince Yong's Mansion by taking advantage of Zhao Zhao's longing for her mother?"

He stuttered, as if he had made a mistake, and said quickly: "The Prince Yong's Mansion will not be used by you!"

"Your Highness Prince Yong!"

Jiang Li's face darkened, "You just need to answer my questions!"

The scene at the manor outside Beijing seemed to reappear, only this time Chu Ninghan and Jiang Li swapped roles.

Jiang Li stared at Chu Ninghan, trying his best to ignore his malicious speculations. The bitterness in his heart spread all the way to the tip of his tongue.

She spoke word by word: "Your Highness Prince Yong, who is the princess's biological mother?"

Chu Ninghan lowered his head slightly and no longer looked at Jiang Li.

Instead, he picked up the wine cup again, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

He then said in a hoarse voice: "I don't remember."

Without Jiang Li asking any more questions, he took the initiative to speak.

"When I met Zhao Zhao's mother, I was seriously injured and blind. I have never seen Zhao Zhao's mother and I don't remember who she is."

"Zhao Zhao is also a child I found by accident. She grew up like an orphan and doesn't even know who her biological mother is."

Jiang Li’s face was pale, he clasped his hands tightly, and his heart was beating with pain.

There is a fundamental difference between being poisoned and being seriously injured.

She was not fully conscious at the time, but she was certain that the little brother was also poisoned, and he did not have any injuries.

The little brother was not blind back then, which is different from Chu Ninghan.

Could it be that she really guessed wrong?

There is no answer to this first question.

Jiang Li closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and suppressed the complexity in his heart.

When she opened her eyes again, her look was much calmer.

She took out a sachet from her sleeve and poured out a jade pendant.

This jade pendant is old, and the material is of average quality. Even if it is well maintained, it still looks extremely ordinary.

But the carving on the jade pendant is not ordinary.

There are two lotus flowers carved on the front, and on the back... two small people holding hands.

Unlike the delicate carvings on the front, the two little figures on the back are simply carved.

The brushstrokes are immature and look ugly.

This was portrayed by the little brother and her back then.

One is him and the other is her.

They are a family that depends on each other and have said that they will never be separated.

Jiang Li rubbed the two little figures on the back of the jade pendant with his fingertips, his eyes red.

She sighed deeply, stood up and placed the jade pendant in front of Chu Ninghan.

When he opened his mouth, his voice was still a little hoarse.

"The second question is, does His Royal Highness Prince Yong know the owner of this jade pendant?"

The fragrance approached again, Chu Ninghan's muscles tensed and his breathing quickened.

It was only for a brief moment before the fragrance faded away again.

Chu Ninghan moved his fingers and accurately picked up the jade pendant on the table.

What he touched was a double lotus pattern, and his heart sank immediately.

Was this the jade pendant he gave to Yu Jiangli?

Lotus is a common auspicious flower in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is not uncommon to use it for carving.

However, single jade pendants with double lotus flowers are rare.

The lotus flower is homophonic to "happiness and happiness for a hundred years", and lotus seeds represent many children and good fortune. Double lotus flowers represent pairs.

Therefore, double lotus jade pendants are often used to make concentric jade pendants.

If two lotus flowers are carved on a single jade pendant, it loses the meaning of "two hearts in pair" and is unlucky, often a sign of divorce.

The jade pendant that Jiang Li gave him happened to be a single jade pendant with two lotus flowers carved on it.

Apart from the double lotus flowers on the front, the back of the jade pendant has... familiar brushstrokes.

The little figure on the clay jar that Qingyang brought back was made by the same person and is exactly the same.

No, the marks on the jade pendant are lighter.

It looked like it had been worn for a long time, wearing out the rough strokes of the little man's hands.

Now the jade pendant and the two little figures are in perfect harmony, as if they were made in heaven.

There is no doubt that the owner of this jade pendant should be him.

but……

Chu Ninghan clutched the jade pendant and pursed his lips.

Given how much he cared about Jiang Li, why would he give her the jade pendant that symbolized their separation?
