Chu Qianli smiled at Fulong.
Fulong understood her.
He knew, of course, that he couldn't wait any longer.
"I originally planned to tell my father after I came to see the National Teacher."
She truly couldn't wait.
Her biological father was right before her eyes, yet they were separated by a false relationship, as if acting in a play.
But the affection, even she could feel it was real.
Her father truly loved her as his daughter; she could feel it.
When her father learned that she was indeed his daughter, how excited and thrilled he would be!
She truly looked forward to it.
"I'll tell him when I get back!"
Fulong looked at her.
Her face was full of smiles.
Fulong's lips couldn't help but curve upwards with hers.
At this moment, A'Li was as happy as a child.
Perhaps fate had been unfair to her, perhaps there were too many people and things in this world that made her sad.
But she knew that her parents' love for her was surely the truest and purest.
Finally, there was someone who could wholeheartedly love and protect A'Li.
Fulong believed that as soon as the Emperor knew A'Li was his biological daughter, he would do his utmost to give A'Li the most beautiful things in the world.
The Emperor would surely love A'Li wholeheartedly and without reservation.
This way, he would be at ease.
"A'Li, from now on, you must be happy."
With a father, a home, a country, and people who adored her.
A'Li would surely be happy!
"Fulong, if I stay in Nanming from now on, would you be willing to stay?"
Fulong smiled at her, "You even ask me this question, it's a bit unfair to me."
"I'm sorry!"
The smile on Chu Qianli's lips deepened instantly.
"Don't worry, follow me in Nanming, and I will definitely let you eat well and live luxuriously, I won't break my promise!"
"And a hot pot would be great."
"Okay! When I recover, I'll have spicy hot pot with you!"
...Leaving the Lingjiu Hall, Chu Qianli couldn't help but look up at the sky above.
Although the sky was dim and the stars were not very bright, Chu Qianli's mood was indescribably good.
Because the brightest star was already in her heart.
After tonight, she would have a home.
A home that she could always trust would not betray her.
She didn't want that Xuan Prince, that scumbag man anymore.
She only wanted her father!
For the rest of her life, she would protect her father, guard his empire, and live a quiet life!
She took out a small object from the Qiankun Chain.
It was half a jade pendant.
Her uncle had given it to her.
Although he wasn't her biological uncle, he treated her like his own niece.
This was half a jade pendant left by her mother, Long Xiyue.
She had once seen a similar jade pendant on Chu Wang, and for some reason, it had felt familiar then.
Now she knew that this was a jade pendant unique to the Nanming royal family; only Nanming royalty could possess jade artifacts of this craftsmanship.
This half jade pendant, without a doubt, was Nan Chu's gift to Mingyue.
Chu Jiangnan, Nan Chu... why hadn't she connected these two names earlier?
Her father had searched for Mingyue his entire life, yet he had never connected the names Mingyue and Long Xiyue.
Who could have imagined?
The brother and sister, one was a prince of Nanming, and the other was the Crown Prince of Longteng!
Fate played tricks.
When she shows the jade pendant to her father later, will he be so moved that he cries?
