The world turned upside down overnight, and Sang Wan went from being a rebel in the previous dynasty to the princess of Nan'an Palace.

Her appearance is more like the late Princess Nan'an than Xiao Yue, and coupled with the Lu Ban's golden lock and Xiao Ji's attitude, no one doubts her identity.

The Nan'an Palace immediately sent a fast horse to report the news to the capital, and waited for Sang Wan to recover from his injuries before returning to the capital.

Sang Wan became even quieter than usual.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Xiao Ji thought she was worried that her identity would not be recognized.

"Don't worry, Ah Wan. When mother was pregnant, her belly was indeed larger than that of an average pregnant woman. The imperial physicians in the palace checked her pulse many times and speculated whether she was pregnant with twins. The Imperial Hospital has pulse records to check. Who could have known that the Tianxuan Sect would be so vicious as to take you away and separate us siblings? With your brother here, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Brother, I'm not worried about that." Sang Wan lowered his eyes.

Strands of sunlight passed through the lattice windows, casting mottled shadows on her face.

"I was raised by the Tianxuan Sect. I originally planned to live in hiding by faking my own death. If the emperor knew about this blatant claim of kinship, wouldn't it implicate the Nan'an Palace?"

The reason why she agreed to let Baili Xi stay and set up the trap was, firstly, to save Pei Jinzhi, and secondly, to completely get rid of the control of Tianxuanmen.

The emperor is not a good person. He can send people from the Imperial City Bureau to assassinate Pei Jinzhi, so how could he give her a chance to live?

"Silly sister. If your brother doesn't have this little ability, wouldn't he have lived in vain? I'll just say I found you by chance during my stay in Fengshui Town. You have nothing to do with the Tianxuan Sect. Although the emperor is suspicious, he can't stop the bloodline of Prince Nan'an from tracing his ancestral roots. The spirits of my father and mother will surely bless us."

"There are quite a few people who have seen me."

Everyone in the Pei Mansion and Princess Jianing recognized her.

"There are so many similar people in the world. What's the big deal if we've only met before? Whoever my brother says you are, that's who you are."

Sang Wan sighed and frowned slightly: "It seems that it is impossible for me to go to Shu?"

"Of course. You're the princess of the Nan'an Palace, how could you become a traveling doctor?" Xiao Ji said with joy, "You and I, brother and sister, must never be separated again."

Sang Wan sighed softly again: "I was born in the countryside and my behavior is crude, don't you despise me?"

Xiao Ji finally understood why she was worried and laughed out loud:

"Even if you turn the capital upside down, I will cover for you. I will compensate you for everything you have lost. You can do whatever you want. Even if it means murder or arson, you can pay for it with my life."

"That's true. I'm a good citizen." Sang Wan chuckled.

Seeing that she finally smiled, Xiao Ji felt relieved.

He took out the gold lock, pointed at the pattern and said to her:

"This lock is one of a kind in the world. Do you know who made it?"

"Is it mother?" Sang Wan supported his cheek with his hands, with a few strands of hair falling on his temples, looking weak.

She called her mother, which made Xiao Ji very happy. He smiled, and his eyes became more gentle: "No, it's Wen Ruo's mother, Zheng Yunlan."

Sang Wan dropped her hand in shock, her scattered eyes focused again, "So, Zheng Jinzhi recognized this lock?"

"Of course I recognize him." Xiao Ji laughed out loud, "He and this lock have a deep connection.

Mrs. Zheng and my mother were close friends, and they wanted to strengthen their relationship, so they arranged a marriage for her.

Unexpectedly, both families gave birth to two boys, me and Wenruo.

Soon after giving birth to Wen Ruo, Aunt Zheng fell seriously ill and was unable to recover. She sought out a descendant of Lu Ban, who forged this lock and a golden key. She gave the lock to her mother and the key to Wen Ruo.

The two agreed that if the mother became pregnant again and gave birth to a girl, she would marry Wen Ruo.

When Xiao Ji said this, he suddenly looked up at Sang Wan, feeling a little strange: "Wen Ruo has never mentioned this to you?"

He was a little angry: "Since this person has seen you and guessed your identity, why didn't he send a message to me?"

"So that's how it is." Sang Wan murmured with her head down, her eyes red.

Zheng Jinzhi recognized her identity at first sight by the golden lock.

He protected her not out of love, but out of affection for the Nan'an Palace;

During the few months they were together, he never mentioned the golden key because he had in mind that the person he wanted to marry was Xiao Yue, not her.

Sang Wan suppressed the bitterness in his eyes, smiled bitterly, and said with relief: "So that's how it is."

She was never what he cared about.

She wanted freedom, but Zheng Jinzhi just left to join the army, revealed her identity, and trapped her from one prison to another, completely turning her into a bird in a cage.

Zheng Jinzhi, I am grateful to your ancestors for eight generations.

"Brother, he likes Xiao Yue." Sang Wan took a deep breath, "This marriage has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Ji frowned slightly: "Have you heard some rumors that A Yue and he..."

Sang Wan stopped him from continuing:

"Brother, he saved me, and I repaid him. We had a deal, and now we're even, which is good. I don't want to hear anything about him from now on, and please don't mention him to me again, okay?"

Xiao Ji paused and nodded: "Forget it. In the future, I will find a better man for you in the capital. I will never let my sister down."

Sang Wan smiled faintly, a hint of sadness hidden beneath her delicate skin, as if she was as heartless as before:

"I just found you, and you can't wait to marry me off? Brother, do you hate me?"

"Nonsense. Brother feels sorry for you." Xiao Ji said seriously.

"Ayue has been pampered since she was little, and His Majesty treats her like his own daughter. Poor little Awan, she hasn't had a single day of love. Yesterday, I heard Baili Xi say that your adopted brother has repeatedly tried to sell you out, which really pissed me off. I will love you a thousand times more to make up for all the suffering you've endured over the years."

"Brother, Sang Jun may have had other intentions when he took me away, but he treats me very well. My life is okay, so don't be sad."

Xiao Ji had already inquired about her life over the past two days. When he heard the word "fortunately", his eyes were red and he touched Sang Wan's hair with his big hand: "Silly sister."

"I don't want to get married. I promised Bai Shi that I would study medicine with him." Sang Wan said.

"You want to learn medicine, that's a good thing! I asked the great doctor Bai Shi to come to the palace to teach you medicine. The great doctor Bai agreed."

Xiao Ji thought everything through and had already discussed it with Bai Shi before coming to see Sang Wan.

Bai Shi was eager to have a disciple, so he naturally agreed immediately.

"I also want to learn archery."

Sang Wan pursed her lips and said, “It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.”

Hate him, why should she be afraid? She just wants to hate him, hate him to death!

"What else?" Xiao Ji asked.

"I'm used to freedom. You can't tie me up in the house." She is not Que'er.

Xiao Ji's eyes were full of doting. He felt nothing but guilt towards his sister who had suffered so much. He wished he could pick the moon from the sky and give it to her.

"I promise you everything. Ziren said that when you get to the capital, he will take you everywhere. Okay?"

Sang Wan's expression brightened up a bit: "Really?"

"You can play with him, but..." Xiao Ji paused for a moment, "He wants to marry you."

When they met on the day of the marriage, Xiao Ji cried with joy, and Baili Xi also wiped his tears with joy. When asked, he said that the clouds had finally cleared and the moon was visible, and he could ask his family to propose marriage.

The marriage between the legitimate son of Duke Yongning and the princess of Prince Nan'an's Mansion is a match made in heaven!

It's like a perfect match, a pillow falls from the sky.

He cried and laughed more excitedly than when he recognized his relatives, so he was beaten by Xiao Ji at that time; unexpectedly, when he set out to return to Beijing, he held Xiao Ji's hand and cried, insisting on making the marriage happen, and was beaten by Xiao Ji again.

"Oh!" Sang Wan didn't care: "You can have fun, but you can't marry me."

"His mother is Princess Xinyang, our aunt. You will know in the future that she is a very difficult person to serve." Xiao Ji smiled and touched Sang Wan's head lovingly.

"My Ah Wan is as beautiful as mother, that's why my brother is reluctant to marry you off to suffer."

Sang Wan's heart moved slightly. She picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, then asked tentatively:

"Brother, do you know much about Zheng Yunlan?"
