Seeing Chen Nian's excitement and the jade pendant, and recalling Chen Nian's words, Cai Lian also had a bold guess in her mind, and first answered Chen Nian's first question.

Seeing Chen Nian's face become even more agitated after she asked her first question, Cai Lian repeatedly tried to comfort her, not wanting Chen Nian to have such high expectations and become extremely disappointed.

"Okay, okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry."

He tried his best to calm his agitated heart.

The incident involving the real and fake princesses has already happened once, so who says it can't happen a second time?

Maybe neither Xiao Yanzi nor Ziwei were real princesses?

Is the one next to her the one?

This is highly likely, isn't it?

Compared to folding fans, paintings, poems, and the like, this jade pendant is more convincing.

If Ziwei were truly the Emperor's daughter, she wouldn't be able to act rashly. If she were to be harmed, it would be absolutely impossible to let the matter drop.

Now, whenever she's unhappy, she torments Ziwei; whenever something goes wrong, she torments Ziwei. After all, doesn't Ziwei like to poison other people? Anyone can do that.

Even if the Emperor wants someone to stay and investigate the case, she won't torture them to death; just keeping them alive is enough.

Since the incident involving Chen Nian, the Emperor now treats Ziwei with complete indifference. As long as she lives, that's enough. Once the case is solved, her life is no longer a concern.

As someone who understands Shen Nian, Qing'er guessed what Shen Nian was thinking. Seeing the expectant look on her face, she nodded.

The two of them remained silent.

They also hoped that Cailian was the true daughter of the emperor.

This way, dealing with Ziwei in the future won't be difficult.

Cailian also saw the great expectation in their eyes and, not wanting to disappoint them, quickly searched through the original owner's memories in her mind.

As time passed, Cailian actually managed to find some clues.

No one knows what the three girls talked about that night, but Cailian, who had originally decided to leave the procession, chose to go back to the palace with them.

...

The three girls couldn't sleep in one bed, so Little Swallow was in another room.

Looking at the two girls sleeping beside her, Cailian's brow furrowed with worry.

There were some things she had to go back to the palace to resolve. She couldn't let Ziwei threaten Niannian; she thought this was the original owner's wish.

She could clearly feel that the original owner's presence weakened the moment she confirmed her identity; it wasn't as strong as before.

But once her identity is revealed, will she still be able to carry out her plans?

In this dynasty where one's actions are often beyond one's control, regaining her true identity will likely make things even more difficult.

If her identity is restored, she can protect her in the palace, watch over her, and stay by her side. If her identity is not restored, she can venture out for her, but on the condition that she leaves her and cannot see her again.

What should she choose?

Feeling the pressure on her waist, Cailian sighed. Oh well, let's take it one step at a time. First, let's resolve Ziwei's matter and the original owner's wishes.

"Do you just want to know your identity and acknowledge your relatives, or do you want to acknowledge your relatives and stay in the palace? Give me an answer. If it's the former, then let the leaves outside the window rustle."

If it's the latter, then extinguish the candles in the room. I'll give you three seconds to give me an answer, otherwise I'll act according to my own will, and you won't be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Cailian said this silently in her heart.

Three, two, one

"Shuashuashua——"

The sound of leaves rustling could be heard.

Some things are simply inexplicable.

"Okay, I'll take care of it for you."

...
