"Do you recognize this jade pendant?"
Xiao Ye looked at the excited Su Liluo with a puzzled expression, and for some reason, his heart also began to feel a little nervous.
It was as if a crucial mystery was about to be revealed.
Su Lilu stared at the jade pendant for a long time, her mind racing, before she finally reacted and asked, "Is this jade pendant yours? Is it because of this jade pendant that you believe Qi Yinyin is your savior?"
"This is indeed mine. When I was a child, I was in danger, and a girl saved me. I gave it to her and promised her..."
Xiao Ye's heart was pounding in his chest. When he met Su Liluo's moist eyes, the blurry lake surface from before seemed to overlap with his own.
Su Liluo was even more shocked when she heard these words.
She continued Xiao Ye's words with a slight sob in her voice, "You promised to marry her when you grew up and to let her use this as a token."
"It's you!"
"So it was you!"
They both spoke at the same time, their eyes filled with excitement.
Unexpectedly, they turned out to be the person the other party had been looking for.
She always thought the person she saved back then was Xiao Churen, but she never expected it would be Xiao Ye!
Thinking that Xiao Churen had taken Su Wanshi as his sweetheart because of this jade pendant, Su Liluo couldn't help but feel puzzled.
If I hadn't saved Xiao Churen back then, why was he so kind to Su Wanshi because of this jade pendant?
Could it be that he knew the jade pendant belonged to Xiao Ye, so he deliberately approached Su Wanshi hoping to plot something?
Thinking of this possibility, she immediately asked Xiao Ye, "Does anyone else know about me saving you when we were children? Does the King of Chu recognize this jade pendant?"
"They don't know that you saved me, but they do know that I almost died. As for this jade pendant, the King of Chu certainly recognizes it, because each of us has one."
However, each prince's jade pendant is slightly different. By the way, how did this jade pendant end up in the hands of the Prince of Chu?
As he spoke, Xiao Ye became puzzled again.
Now, he is almost certain that the jade pendant was given to Qi Yinyin by Xiao Churen.
At this point, Su Liluo's expression darkened.
She said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Su Wanshi took it from me. I didn't protect what you gave me."
If Su Wanshi hadn't taken the jade pendant from me, this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened.
At this moment, she truly hated herself for not protecting it back then.
Xiao Ye felt very sorry for her when he heard her say that.
"It's not your fault. The Su family bullied you like that, and they stole all your things. It's my fault for not showing up sooner to find you."
If I could find her sooner, the Su family wouldn't have had so many opportunities to bully her.
Su Liluo hugged the jade pendant with a mixture of relief and emotion, feeling a mix of feelings she couldn't quite describe.
After going through many twists and turns, she finally found out not too late.
Xiao Ye felt relieved and fortunate. When he met Qi Yinyin, he recalled his childhood experiences and had struggled with his feelings when facing Su Liluo.
But now that he knows that whether in the past or now, he is still in love with the same person, he has finally felt relieved.
He no longer needed to be polite to Qi Yinyin.
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a servant rushed in from outside.
"Your Highness, someone outside is helping a strange, unfamiliar woman to come looking for you. She claims to be your savior!"
Xiao Ye frowned. "Qi Yinyin, what is she up to now?"
Su Liluo said to Xiao Ye, "Husband, let's go out and see what's going on!"
Now that we know she's not Xiao Ye's benefactor, we won't hold back when dealing with her.
The two walked together into the hall, where Qi Yinyin had already been helped in by servants.
Her face was flushed, and there was a faint sheen of sweat on her forehead. She was wearing a rose-red gauze dress with a high belt, which accentuated her graceful figure.
The effects of the medicine on her made her appear even more alluring.
Even a woman like Su Liluo blushed a little when she saw it, let alone a man.
Even though she knew she had nothing to do with Xiao Ye, seeing her come to his door to seduce him like this, Su Liluo's expression, which had been one of watching the show, turned quite unpleasant.
She secretly glanced at Xiao Ye's expression and saw him give Qi Yinyin a disdainful look.
He said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Qi Yinyin lay limply on the maid, her gaze filled with affection as she looked at Xiao Ye.
"I...I've been poisoned, Your Highness, please...save me."
"If you've been poisoned, you should naturally seek a doctor. I'm not a doctor, so how can I save you?"
Xiao Ye said mockingly, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.
He could tell that Qi Yinyin was in great pain at that moment.
"Your Highness, I... I was drugged with that kind of medicine, I... I need..."
Qi Yinyin feigned shame, biting her lip tightly, her allure growing even stronger.
Su Lilu couldn't take it anymore, and she suddenly stood in front of Xiao Ye.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, does your poison require a man to cure? Do you need to have sex with a man?"
Su Lilu rattled off those words.
The maids around them blushed and their hearts pounded.
Although Qi Yinyin was displeased, she still went along with Su Liluo's words and said, "Yes, that's how it is, so I beg... Your Highness to save me."
But Su Liluo's expression suddenly changed. "The Crown Prince is my husband. Who are you? What right do you have to make demands of my husband? If you need a man, I can find you one."
