“Protect?”

“Do I have a very important identity?”

“It’s not like I’m a descendant of some royal family who has wandered outside. What’s there to hide…

MO Ruyue paused and thought of the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom she had met at the border.

Now that she said it, she might really be related to the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom.

“Then do you know who my biological parents are?”

Anyway, she didn’t know.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress looked at each other and decided to tell Nio Ruyue what they knew.

“When this widow was young, about twenty years ago, this widow was only a princess at that time and was in the courtyard to avoid the heat. That day, this widow wanted to eat fish so she secretly went to the pond outside the courtyard to fish. Who knew that it would suddenly rain. The rain was unexpected. One moment it was sunny, the next moment it was pouring.”

“The rain was especially heavy and thunder roared. In the panic, this widow accidentally fell into the pond. The maids around this widow did not know how to float, but they all jumped in to pull this widow ashore. In the end, they all drowned. This widow almost drowned and was finally saved by a merchant group passing by.”

“The person who saved this widow was a very beautiful woman.”

“Now that I think about it, you are 80 – 90% similar to that woman, but after so many years, this widow has forgotten about it.”

“After that benefactor saved this widow, she refused to stay and quickly left with the things that this widow gave her. However, this widow later picked up a jade pendant that the benefactor dropped by the pond.”

“She had kept the jade pendant with her family, hoping that she would meet her benefactor again one day to thank her.”

The empress dowager gestured to the granny behind her. The granny went into the room and took out an exquisite brocade box.

The Empress Dowager personally took out the jade pendant from the brocade box.

“Ming Yue, do you have such a birthmark on your back?”

The Empress Dowager showed the back of the jade pendant to MO Ruyue. MO Ruyue looked at the back of the jade pendant and saw that there was indeed a pattern on it. It was a soaring eagle.

The carvings on the jade pendant were very vivid. Even the feathers of the eagle were lifelike.

“Ah, it does look the same as the birthmark on the princess’ back!”

Chun Hua stood behind MO Ruyue, and MO Ruyue could clearly see the totem on the jade pendant.

“Isn’t there a birthmark on my back? How could there be such a soaring eagle?”

In fact, MO Ruyue had no idea what the birthmark on her back looked like. After all, she had never seen it before, and she couldn’t turn her head to look at it.

If it wasn’t for the assassination attempt in the palace, which was seen by the Imperial Concubine Li, she wouldn’t even know that she had a birthmark on her back.

Looking at the eagle on the jade pendant, she felt that she should have some relationship with the jade pendant. No matter how long the birthmark on her back was, it could not look like the eagle on the jade pendant.

If it was very coincidental, then it was not a coincidence. It was very likely the truth.

“Sister, the birthmark on your back is indeed the same as the one on the jade pendant. When I was young, I liked this jade pendant very much. I often asked my aunt to come and play with it. My aunt would only let me see it and touch it, but she would never let me take it out to play with it. It’s also because I like it very much that I have some memories. The last time 1 saw the birthmark on your back, I felt that it was very familiar. It’s just that it was a long time ago that I forgot where I saw it, so I couldn’t remember it for a moment.” “Bring me two big mirrors. I want to see how similar they are.”

The more they said that, the more curious MO Ruyue became about the birthmark on her back. She had never seen a birthmark that looked like this before.

She had also reached out to touch it, but she could not feel anything.

“Hey, Princess, why does this jade pendant look so familiar? Do we have one?”

Chun Hua looked at the jade pendant in the Empress Dowager’s hand. The more she looked, the more familiar she felt.

“It seems that not long ago, I seem to have taken this jade pendant?”

Chun Hua frowned as she pondered. When had she ever seen such a jade pendant?

“Go and take a look at the jade pendant that the Prince of the Northern Kingdom gave me.”

After hearing Chunhua’s words, MO Ruyue recalled the jade pendant that the Crown Prince of the Northland had given her.

“Yes! This servant will go now.”

At the same time as the two large mirrors were brought over, Chun Hua also brought over the jade pendant given by the Crown Prince of the Northern

Kingdom. She placed the two jade pendants together and compared them. Indeed, they were exactly the same.

However, there was a slight difference when she looked closely. On the lower right corner of the eagle on the back of the jade pendant that Su Luo had given MO Ruyue, there was the word ‘Luo’ engraved.

On the back of the jade pendant in the Empress Dowager’s hand was the word ‘Moon’.

“Ming Yue, where did you get this jade pendant from?”

The Empress Dowager and the Empress were astonished to see the jade pendant in MO Ruyue’s hand.

“The Crown Prince of the Northland gave it to me.”

The Empress Dowager and the Empress could not help but ask her why the Northern Kingdom’s Crown Prince had given her this jade pendant. MO Ruyue told them that she looked like the Northern Kingdom’s Crown Prince and that the Northern Kingdom’s Crown Prince had insisted on giving her the jade pendant when he left.

“Child, do you really not want to know who your biological parents are?”

The Empress Dowager and Empress were burning with anxiety. They wanted to go to the north to find her biological parents for her.

“The Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom said that his mother passed away many years ago.”

MO Ruyue’s words dispelled the Empress Dowager and the Empress’ thoughts.

“Perhaps the Prince of the Northern Kingdom is your elder brother?” The Empress Dowager was still unwilling to give up.

If it was really as they had guessed, MO Ruyue was the princess of the Northern Kingdom. She had led a wandering life for so many years. Just the thought of it made the Empress Dowager and the Empress’ heart ache.

“Let’s talk about that later.’

The Empress Dowager and the Empress saw MO Ruyue like this, so it was not appropriate for them to drag her to the Northlands to look for her relatives.

The two of them also knew about the Emperor, the Great General, Gu Ying, and the others. They also knew that MO Ruyue looked similar to the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom.

Without waiting for the three of them to come up with a plan, the Emperor called MO Ruyue over and gave her a generous commendation in front of all the civil and military officials of the Imperial Court.

After MO Ruyue was rewarded by the Emperor, she was anxious to go home.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress wanted to keep MO Ruyue for a while longer.

“Mother, Sister, you don’t want me to be not married yet, right? I’m going home to get married.”

MO Ruyue didn’t feel awkward at all when she said that she wanted to go back and get married. She wasn’t shy either. Instead, it made the Empress Dowager and the Empress laugh out loud.

“Yes, yes, yes. This is the fault of this widow and your sister. They actually stopped you from going back to get married. This is too outrageous, hahaha.”

MO Ruyue had already said that she was going home to get married, so it would not be good to drag Gu Ying along. Besides, he was not the Great General, so the Great General could carry on with his funeral.

Previously, they had traveled for half a month, but they had only rested in the capital for one and a half days. When they returned, Gu Ying had asked MO Ruyue to take the carriage. They could rest in the carriage if they were not in a hurry.

The speed of the carriage was not that slow. They rested at the relay station at night.

In the carriage, MO Ruyue was thinking about the jade pendant. She told Gu

Ying what the Empress Dowager and the Empress had told her.

MO Ruyue felt that it was necessary to let him know about this matter. Besides, the Northern Kingdom’s Crown Prince had given her a jade pendant at the border. Everyone would know about this sooner or later. It was better for her to tell Gu Ying as soon as possible. If something really happened, they would have a way to deal it.

After hearing this, Gu Ying also felt that MO Ruyue was definitely related to the royal family of the Northland.

“Then do you really not want to find your biological parents?”

“I can help you.”

“Let’s not talk about that for now. Let’s hurry back and get married first.”

“We’ll talk about the other things after we get married..”
