"I'm sorry, princess."

Jiang Li was heartbroken and she put down Chu Mingzhao who was crying like a kitten.

Once again, clearly and loudly said: "I am not your mother."

Chu Mingzhao will always be the princess of Prince Yong's Mansion and the heir to Prince Yong's Mansion.

She shouldn't have any other relationship with me.

"Jiang Li! Come with me!"

Chu Ninghan's body reacted faster than his brain. He directly held Jiang Li's hand and pulled Jiang Li away.

The two of them hurried out of the yard and walked to the empty waterside pavilion.

Jiang Li stopped immediately and pulled his hand back.

"Your Highness, you can say whatever you want to say now."

Jiang Li's voice was cold and indifferent, and the look she gave Chu Ninghan was as cold as ice and snow.

It was as if the two of them were really just partners and there was no other relationship between them.

That's how it should be.

This was what Chu Ninghan expected at the beginning, wasn’t it?

There is no relationship between them.

Chu Ninghan was still wearing a face mask tonight. He had just left in a hurry, and a thin layer of red appeared on his pale face, which looked like the blush of extreme anger.

However, his expression remained calm, without any trace of anger.

He looked at Jiang Li, with a lot of words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't ask them at this moment.

All he could say was, "Why do you deny it?"

Jiang Liming has clearly confirmed that Chu Mingzhao is her daughter.

Why would she deny it?

Wasn't she always thinking about the three children who were lost outside?

Now that Chu Mingzhao has taken the initiative to come to her to verify, why does she deny it flatly?

Is she disappointed seeing the current Chu Mingzhao?

Or, because of him, Jiang Li took her anger out on Chu Mingzhao and even refused to acknowledge Chu Mingzhao as her daughter.

"I don't understand what you are saying, sir."

Jiang Li's thin eyebrows slowly frowned. She really couldn't figure out what Chu Ninghan was thinking.

It was Chu Ninghan who clearly said that he didn't want to have anything to do with her, but he was also worried that she would meet Chu Mingzhao.

Now that she was acting according to his ideas, how could he blame her for denying it?

It was like this when he was hunting, and it was like this again now.

If she hadn't been sure that Chu Ninghan was not an imposter, she would have thought that there was another person in the world.

Jiang Li took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, what the princess said is just the words of a child, don't take it seriously. I know who I am and I will never entangle Jun. After detoxifying you and your daughter, I will leave Kyoto, you can rest assured."

She would not reveal her identity and recognize Chu Mingzhao just because Chu Mingzhao admired her.

After the poison was removed from the father and daughter, they were even on good terms.

What happened in the past is already happened in the past. Once you turn the page, there is no need to go back.

"Jiang Li!"

Chu Ninghan understood the crux of the problem and his face turned pale.

"I'm not asking you to leave Zhao Zhao."

Jiang Li directly denied her mother-daughter relationship with Chu Mingzhao because he had warned Jiang Li in An Ning Marquis Mansion before she knew about his past.

In addition, when he was at Yufeng and Manor, he repeatedly tested Jiang Li's feelings for him.

After Jiang Li confirmed who he was, she immediately concluded that he was unwilling to recognize her and did not want Jiang Li to have any relationship with them father and daughter.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault at the beginning. My words were inappropriate. You don't have to take what I said seriously."

Be it the warning given at the Marquis' Mansion, or the words that personally tried to sow discord between Jiang Li and him back then, they all backfired on him.

There was a flash of surprise in Jiang Li's eyes. Chu Ninghan actually apologized so straightforwardly.

"Why should you apologize, my lord?"

She had already come to terms with it. "The prince was only thinking about the princess. There was nothing wrong with that."

When Jiang Li first knew that Chu Ninghan was the younger brother, he had already abandoned Qingyang's past. He never expected that when he met her, he did feel resentful.

However, at this point, she has figured things out, and that bit of resentment has long since disappeared.

Jiang Li could understand what Chu Ninghan did by putting himself in his shoes.

After all, she and Chu Ninghan were only related in the past, and their statuses are now very different.

Rather than getting entangled and causing trouble, it would be best for them to never have any contact with each other again. This would be the best outcome for Chu Mingzhao and Prince Yong's Mansion.

"My Lord, I have been in seclusion for many days and have important matters to attend to. I will come to the palace tomorrow morning to detoxify you and your daughter."

Jiang Li's calmness made Chu Ninghan feel uncomfortable, and now he saw Jiang Li was about to leave.

Chu Ninghan pursed his lips and stopped her.

"You replaced Zhao Zhao's blood and helped me detoxify. I should also tell you what I promised you."

"There's no rush. It won't be too late to talk about it after the poison is removed."

Jiang Li glanced at Chu Ninghan and shook her head.

The only thing Chu Ninghan agreed to tell her was her little brother's identity and whereabouts.

She already knew everything, so it made no difference whether she said it or not.

"It's news about No. 124C."

Jiang Li's expression changed instantly, and she stared at Chu Ninghan with a frown.

"What does the prince know?"

She told Chu Ninghan the news about the small statue and No. 124C at that time, with the intention of dying, she went to detoxify Chu Mingzhao.

And didn’t Chu Ninghan refuse at that time?

Even the small statue was lost.

What he said now was to find out whether she really had a child or not.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Jiang Li's feet seemed to have taken root and he couldn't move at all.

Chu Ninghan said, "Four days ago, I received news that he had appeared in Lujia Village in Huainan. Lujia Village was flooded in July and he disappeared. He is not in Lujia Village now."

Jiang Li's brows relaxed, as she had also received this news a few days ago.

That was why she planned to quickly settle the matter at Prince Yong's Mansion and go to Huainan in person to look for his whereabouts.

She did not believe that 124C would die in the flood.

Jiang Li said: "Thank you for the news, Your Majesty."

"If you go to Huainan again, Prince Yong's Mansion will help you find him."

Chu Ninghan took out the bone whistle that he had used during the autumn hunt, took Jiang Li's hand, and put it in her hand without saying a word.

"Huainan was once a vassal territory of Prince Yong. You can use this whistle to mobilize all the eyes in Prince Yong's mansion to help you find someone."

Jiang Li held the bone whistle, which still vaguely retained Chu Ninghan's body temperature.

She did not refuse, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will return the item to you once I find him."

Huainan is extremely large, and the world is in chaos right now, so it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for her to find someone.

With the addition of the power of Prince Yong's Mansion, the chance of finding No. 124B will undoubtedly increase, and the speed will also be accelerated.

"Okay, when you return the bone whistle, I will give you additional information about another child."

Another child!

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.

There is no doubt that Chu Mingzhao is her daughter, but the person Chu Ninghan is talking about is definitely not Chu Mingzhao.

So the remaining two children, one is number 124C, and the other one is still unknown and has no where to be found.

The child Chu Ninghan was talking about must be that child. He actually had news about that child!
