Chapter 1444: Chapter 1443: How about, secretly getting it appraised?
Mingyue!
Nowadays these two words represent, not Mingyue herself.
But rather, the Little Princess.
Chu Wang thought that whenever Chu Jiangnan heard any news about the Little Princess, he would be very excited and nervous.
In the past, every time he mentioned the Little Princess, his Loyal Brother would become very tense.
But this time, Chu Jiangnan merely looked at him lightly, his brow showing such peace and tranquility.
"What do you want to know?" Chu Jiangnan asked, his words lacking much emotional fluctuation.
Chu Wang didn’t know what he was thinking, but this reaction indeed surprised him.
After a pause, he finally asked, "Loyal Brother, have you ever met Long Xiyue from Longteng Country?"
"Never." Over the years, Longteng Country and Nanming Country have maintained a relationship that is both adversarial and amicable.
But between them lies Beiming Country.
So actually, there hasn’t been much direct conflict between Longteng and Nanming, nor have the people in power directly met.
Back then, the late Emperor of Nanming had a brief encounter with the Empress of Longteng Country.
But at that time, Chu Jiangnan was just a youth and did not accompany his father on visits.
As for Xiyue from Longteng Country, he’s only heard her name but never met her.
"Loyal Brother, have you ever thought that Sister Mingyue might... might actually be Long Xiyue?"
"How could that be?" Of course, he had never even considered it, so now Chu Jiangnan heard Chu Wang’s speculation, his heart remained unperturbed.
"Why is it impossible?" Before, Chu Wang also thought it was impossible.
How could a Princess of one country travel everywhere to learn martial arts?
"But Loyal Brother, have you ever thought that Mingyue would never expect you to be the Crown Prince of Nanming Country either?"
These words made Chu Jiangnan, always so indifferent, suddenly show a trace of hesitation in his brow.
"Sister Mingyue certainly wouldn’t anticipate this, right? Because no one believes that the Crown Prince of Nanming Country could leave the Imperial Palace, ignore state affairs, and even refrain from power struggles, wandering the world as if it’s his home."
"For regular people, this is simply an unimaginable event."
Chu Wang inhaled deeply, tightly fixing his eyes on his Loyal Brother’s face: "But this is indeed the absolute truth!"
Chu Jiangnan’s fingertips slowly tightened.
Yes, no one would think Nan Chu is the Crown Prince of Nanming Country! It defies logic.
But why does he keep using "logic" to speculate about Mingyue’s identity?
Can he defy logic, but Mingyue cannot?
"You... suspect that Long Xiyue is Yueyue?" If Long Xiyue really is Yueyue, then... then! Little Lili wouldn’t she be his daughter?
Chu Jiangnan finally became agitated, looking at Chu Wang, opening his mouth, wanting to say something.
But now, he couldn’t say a single word, not knowing how to organize his speech!
He was almost losing his ability to think!
"Chu Wang, don’t... don’t give me false hope!"
Little Lili might be his daughter! Is this true?
He felt an unspeakable unease.
What if it’s not true...
No! It can’t be thought of like this, can’t think of so much!
He’s really too excited now!
What if Little Lili isn’t, can he bear the blow of this truth upon himself?
"Loyal Brother, how could I guarantee? I just thought of this myself."
Chu Wang knew he was anxious, but in fact, he was more anxious than his Loyal Brother.
"Loyal Brother, why don’t we quietly verify it?"
