The little princess was real.
Verified by Mr. Lan.
Or rather, Prince Yu himself had brought the bowl.
In any case, everything was prepared by Prince Yu's people. This time, no one would suspect that the Emperor and Chu Qianli had tampered with the vessels.
"Little Li'er, how did you manage this?"
Chu Wang still didn't understand.
The bowl was a sacred bowl casually taken from the Lingjiu Hall, and it was Lan Fan himself who had proposed it. To say that Chu Qianli, no matter how capable, could not have predicted Lan Fan's suggestion so accurately.
Even if she could guess that they might go to Lingjiu Hall, it was only "one of the possibilities." What if Lan Fan wanted to use a bowl he brought himself?
Therefore, tampering with the sacred bowl in Lingjiu Hall was unlikely.
Then, the water from the ice pond was even less likely to have been tampered with by her.
The ice pond was indeed a sacred artifact of the Lan clan. Who could touch it?
As he got a little closer, he almost vomited blood.
Even Xiao Xuanzi, with his profound cultivation, could get closer than anyone outside the Lan clan.
But as he approached, his complexion turned unpleasant, and even his protective aura emerged.
It was evident that he was at his limit and could not go any further.
Therefore, tampering with the water in the ice pond was even more impossible.
So, how did Little Li'er achieve this? Did their blood merge together?
Chu Wang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be... could it be that you really are..."
"I took medicine," Chu Qianli said, not missing the fleeting disappointment in Chu Jiangnan's eyes.
So, Father Emperor also liked her so much, and wished so much that she was his daughter.
With his intentions, everything was worth it.
Her heart felt a little sour, but now was definitely not the time for a reunion.
She smiled and said, "I took medicine, and my blood can merge with anyone's blood, but it has a time limit. Now, the medicinal effect has likely passed."
Chu Wang let out a long sigh of relief.
That thought just now was truly... too exciting.
What a pity!
Two drops of water from Feng Yexuan's cup fell onto the back of his hand, and only then did he put the cup down.
His mood was inexplicably complex.
Little Shunzi, however, still didn't understand: "Miss Chu..."
"How do you address people?" Chu Wang immediately glared at him.
Little Shunzi was stunned for a moment, finally reacting, and quickly changed his address: "Princess."
Whether the princess was real or not, from this moment on, she was real.
Now, only the princess could help the Emperor out of his predicament. Her identity had to be established!
"Princess, this servant doesn't understand. Why did the Princess make Prince Jing act like that?"
More impulsive than usual, yet he tried to suppress his impulsiveness. But Little Shunzi knew that this was all the Princess's arrangement.
It was the Princess who deliberately made Prince Jing act like that.
"It's to prevent them from tampering with the blood-dripping recognition ceremony."
Chu Qianli looked at Chu Jiangnan and said seriously, "There are many drugs in this world that can alter blood fusion. If they had made arrangements beforehand and tampered with the water, the blood-dripping recognition ceremony would not have succeeded."
Everyone knew that Lan Fan was a master of poison. He might have some drugs hidden on him.
Only he could touch the water from the ice pond. If he wanted to add medicine to the water, it would be easy.
"I made Prince Jing act like this to make Prince Yu and Lan Fan believe that I must be fake, and that Prince Jing was so anxious."
Chu Qianli smiled and said, "As long as they believe I am fake, they will let down their guard. If Prince Jing continuously prevents them from verifying, they won't need to tamper with anything. As long as they insist on verifying themselves, they will believe they will succeed."
Chu Jiangnan stared at the little face, looking at the smile on her lips.
Gradually, another face, another smile, surfaced in his vision...
