Traveling through ancient times, the princess of the special forces became the group's favorite

"can."

Shen Li's body trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his hand that was tightly holding the jade pendant.

A jade pendant, as smooth as jade and with a soft luster, lay quietly in her palm.

The jade pendant is crystal clear, as if it were carved from mutton-fat white jade, and the scarlet spot in the center is as dazzling as a burning flame, making it impossible to ignore.

Hua Manlou carefully took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

He first stared at the jade pendant in his hand, then shifted his gaze to the drawing beside him, comparing the two carefully.

Same, exactly the same!

"This is the jade pendant drawn on the blueprint!" Hua Manlou said firmly, "Princess Chen, can you tell me the origin of this jade pendant?"

At this time, Shen Li, who was standing aside, was already in tears.

Seeing this, Yun Chenyu quickly reached out and held her slightly trembling hand, giving her silent comfort and support.

"Ali mentioned this to me before," Yun Chenyu said in a steady voice. "Back then, when Prime Minister Shen's wife found Ali, who was still an infant, she discovered this jade pendant around her neck. Ever since she can remember, Ali has always treasured this jade pendant and taken great care of it.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always carried this jade pendant close to her, never leaving it. She knows it's not just an ordinary jade pendant, but the only token left to her by her biological parents. With this token, she firmly believes she will one day find her biological parents and reunite with them.

Shen Li nodded.

"What the prince said is true."

Yun Chenyu then spoke up, "For the past few months, I've been sending people to various locations throughout Yunyan Country to search for Ah Li's biological parents, but to no avail! Who would have thought that, today, she would actually be from the Hua family of Xueji Country?"

Hearing this, Hua Manlou could hardly suppress his excitement, because the biological sister he had been searching for for many years was finally going to be found!

At this moment, the servant Xiaowu standing beside him gently reminded Hua Manlou, whose emotions were already a little out of control.

Hua Manlou took a deep breath, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, and then slowly said:

"Does Princess Chen have any other unusual marks? For example...is there a birthmark on her arm that's shaped like a plum blossom?"

As Shen Li listened to Hua Manlou's question, her eyes were already filled with crystal tears.

She raised her hands and rolled up her sleeves.

As she moved, a white, jade-like forearm gradually emerged before everyone's eyes. On that forearm, there was a birthmark shaped like a plum blossom.

The birthmark is not too big and the color is light, but overall it looks as vivid as a blooming plum blossom.

The moment Hua Manlou's eyes fell on the birthmark, his eyes suddenly became like a flood bursting through a dam, and tears burst out.

He took a step forward excitedly, wanting to hold Shen Li's hand but hesitant. Finally, he stood firmly in front of Shen Li, staring at her with burning eyes, and said in a trembling voice:

"That's right! You're my little sister! After all these years, this birthmark is still exactly the same as it was when I was a child... Back then, I even complained about it being in the wrong place and affecting my appearance!"

Hearing this, tears in Shen Li's eyes flowed like a flood.

You know, it is not easy to make the jade pendant drawn on the drawing exactly the same as the real thing, not to mention that the jade pendant she wears has always been carefully hidden by her and has never been shown to outsiders.

Not only that, she also protected the hidden birthmark on her arm very well, and others had no way of knowing it.

And it is impossible for her adoptive parents, Prime Minister Shen and his wife, to have such omnipotent abilities that they can reach out to the Hua family in the distant Xue Ji Kingdom.

Therefore, Shen Li was extremely certain in her heart that Hua Manlou must be her biological brother who had been lost for many years!

So, she no longer cared about the so-called differences between men and women, opened her arms, ran straight towards Hua Manlou, and threw herself into his broad and warm arms.

The two hugged each other tightly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"Brother! I finally found my family!"

Shen Li fell on Hua Manlou's chest and cried out in tears.

Hua Manlou gently patted Shen Li's back to comfort her, and responded with the same affection: "Little sister, we have been looking for you for so long, and today we finally found you! From now on, brother will take good care of you and will never let you suffer even the slightest injustice again!"

Yun Chenyu looked at the two people in front of him who were hugging each other tightly and crying with joy with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel happy and relieved for them.

After a long time, their emotions gradually calmed down and they slowly let go of each other.

Shen Li raised his head, stared at Hua Manlou, and asked softly, "Brother, are father and mother okay?"

Hua Manlou gently reached out his hand and wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of Shen Li's eyes, then wiped the corners of his own eyes which were also wet.

"We've searched everywhere for you since you went missing, but there's been no news for three whole years. Mother, overwhelmed by longing for you, became ill and took to her bed. Her condition has only worsened over the years and hasn't improved. However, Father remains in good health and is not seriously ill.

Now, my father has entrusted all family affairs to me so that I can care for my mother wholeheartedly. I came to Yunyan this time, firstly, at the invitation of His Majesty Yunyan, and secondly, to find your whereabouts.

Fortunately, God has rewarded those who work hard, and today I finally found you! I'm sure my father, mother, and brothers will be ecstatic when they hear this good news.

Later, I will send a pigeon to tell them this great news."

After saying this, an expression of excitement that was hard to conceal appeared on Hua Manlou's face.

"Does my father really have five sons? Do I really have five brothers?"

Shen Li widened his eyes, looked at Hua Manlou and asked in confusion.

Hua Manlou smiled and nodded, saying softly, "That's right, little sister, father does have five sons. But if you count carefully, father has a total of six children, the eldest of whom was born to another woman before he met mother.

These were all forced upon my father by my grandparents.

Fortunately, after my father met my mother, he treated her wholeheartedly and never had any contact with that woman again.

Despite this, the father was kind-hearted and specially arranged a place for the mother and son to live in the village, and ensured that they had enough food and clothing.

However, my father expressly forbade us to have any contact with them, and even I had only seen them a few times!

So in a sense, you can be considered to have five older brothers. And I am your youngest brother, your fifth brother."

As Hua Manlou spoke, he reached out and gently touched the girl's head, his eyes full of doting.
