Upon hearing this, Ji Zixuan did not directly answer Jiang Hao's question, but asked back: "Really?"

His eyes told Jiang Hao that he had really guessed it.

Jiang Hao actually wanted to say that it was not necessarily the case, after all, it was not possible to do paternity testing like in modern times.

But Ji Zixian was brought back by Ji Yan himself. Although he passed through the hands of his wet nurse and General Huo, who "repaid the favor", he was trusted by the crown prince at that time. It is believed that there would not be any bloody plots before he was handed over to Ji Yan after the cat-swapped crown prince was replaced.

So, Jiang Hao nodded to him.

"really......"

"it is as expected!"

"The plot in the play is actually true!"

"what--"

Ji Zixuan burst into tears and pounded the ground silently, completely unwilling to accept this cruel fact.

It’s not that my grandfather doesn’t love me anymore, it’s just that he knows that Ji Ziyou is the child of his legitimate son, and can be registered under the name of Liu, making him equal to myself, and he can support the Ji family in the future.

As for himself, he had taken great pains to overturn the verdict of the deposed prince who was imprisoned in the Deposed Prince's Mansion, so that he could return to his ancestral home in the future.

The Ji family still has to rely on the Ji family’s people.

So, that time he suggested that Ji Ziyou could assist him in the future...

If you didn't understand it at the time, after Ji Zixuan read the letter, things started to come to mind one by one and he began to understand everything.

Jiang Hao felt sorry for him when she saw him like this, but growing up is cruel and painful: "I was originally thinking about when to tell you, but I was always worried that you wouldn't be able to bear it. Now that you know in advance and are mentally prepared, I feel relieved."

"Sister, I don't want to."

Ji Zixuan's words came from the bottom of his heart.

He has been a member of the Ji family for nearly twenty years. He does not want to admit that he was a victim of the power struggle in the past, where other people's families were destroyed and he had to take the place of others to survive.

Ji Zixuan shook his head and looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to him, asking him to wipe it first before saying, "It's normal that you can't accept it, but this is the fact, and you still have to face it bravely."

Ji Zixuan’s hand holding the handkerchief froze there. “Sister, is this how you comfort me?”

"Pull yourself together and come with me to the Water Pavilion. It's almost dawn."

If the servants who got up early saw him like this, they would think he was going to jump into the lake again!

Ji Zixuan was startled again, but still wiped his face obediently, stood up with numb legs, and held the railing. He stood for a long time before getting rid of the deadly numbness, and followed Jiang Hao into the water pavilion.

When I opened the window, the sky was already turning pale.

The morning breeze blew in, and my body, already soaked by the dew, trembled slightly.

But sleepiness also awakens at the same time.

"Sister, does he...does he know me?"

Ji Zixuan did not want to "return to his roots" or become the son of King Ning. He still wanted to stay in the Ji Mansion and always be his mother's son, the eldest son of the Ji Mansion, and Jiang Hao's elder brother.

He didn't dare to accept the bloody past.

However, if Prince Ning knew of his existence, and now that he has been cleared of all charges and regained the emperor's favor, it is hard to believe that Prince Ning would not plunge into the vortex of power struggle again.

But this is not what Ji Zixuan wants.

However, Jiang Hao's two words, neither light nor heavy, hit Ji Zixuan's heart like a huge rock, shattering the last bit of fantasy and hope in his heart: "I know."
