My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 79 - Yan Lin is Punished

Chu Baihan quickly looked up, almost unable to hide her emotions.

This madman, is he still intent on tormenting her?

“Eighth Brother, this, this… I know you want to uncover the truth, and this maid is indeed very suspicious, but could you not leave her with me?” Yan Lian protested helplessly.

He liked women, but he wasn’t indiscriminate about it.

“Eighth Prince, this servant will always stay by the Princess’s side, this servant won’t run.” Chu Baihan said through clenched teeth.

Though she was furious inside, she still had to maintain a facade of respect.

“The command has been issued by me and does not allow for your questioning.

Come, follow me to the Imperial Palace.” Yan Lin commanded coldly and then turned, striding out.

To the Imperial Palace?

Chu Baihan spat out a breath of foul air fiercely, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.

If there were ever a chance, she would personally slay a certain prince.

The Hidden Guards hidden in the shadows saw Chu Baihan following Yan Lin and looked worried.

Chu Baihan shook her head at them, signaling them not to act rashly.

It was just following him, wasn’t it?

It could even be beneficial for her!

She intended to infiltrate the palace to gather information, preferably about the National Treasury.

Thus, suppressing her emotions, Chu Baihan quickly walked out as well.

Yan Lian and Yan Lin were sitting in a carriage, and she walked below, following them.

Inside the carriage,

Yan Lian asked with an odd tone, “Eighth Brother, having that maid follow us around, won’t it be inconvenient for our activities?”

“She must know the secrets of your Eighth Sister-in-law.” Yan Lin lifted his eyes and said coldly.

He wanted that maid to accompany them not only to root out the spies his father and brothers had placed in the Princess Residence, but also to… uncover the secrets of Chu Baihan.

“Secrets?”

Yan Lian frowned, looking somewhat perplexed.

“Don’t you think that the Chu Family has been framed?” Yan Lin said darkly.

Chu Hesheng, that old fox, if intent on harming someone, would certainly not leave any obvious trails.

Yet they found so much evidence so easily, which can only mean…

Someone intentionally wanted them to find it!

“If that Nan Baihan really is your Eighth Sister-in-law, her using us to take revenge on the Chu Family is plausible.” Yan Lian, rubbing his head in frustration, said.

Because of his Eighth Brother, he too had come to believe that Nan Baihan was his Eighth Sister-in-law.

“I’m just curious, is hatred alone enough to warrant her risking her own life to frame the Chu Family?”

Yan Lin mused deeply, huskily murmuring.

This was something he could never quite understand…

What did she actually want to achieve, to hurt herself to this extent?

Yan Lin’s words also silenced Yan Lian.

Indeed, the Eighth Prince’s wife was too cruel to herself.

“It’s difficult to break through Nan Xing and Ruolan, so it’s best to start with this maid,” Yan Lin continued in a calm voice.

Although Xingxing and Lanlan wouldn’t admit their identities, he had already determined that they were indeed the lost Nan Xing and Ruolan from the past!

“Alright, Eighth Brother, if this is your plan, then I support you,” Yan Lian firmly said.

It’s just having an extra maid around, a small matter!

“By the way,” he suddenly remembered something else and looked worried, “your visit to the palace this time was to see our father, right?

Yesterday in the Imperial Study, and today during the court session, our father had already become very angry.

It was not only because of the Eighth Prince’s wife’s incident but also because you arrested someone from the Chu Family on your own.”

Our father already has prejudices against the Eighth Brother, and this time, I fear those prejudices have only become stronger.

“You didn’t attend the court session today, you didn’t see the faces of those ministers, each one of them advising in a way that wouldn’t leave you alive.

You must be careful in your actions later,” Yan Lian said anxiously.

“This Prince understands,” Yan Lin stated in a calm voice, his indifferent face void of any additional emotion.

Yan Lian wanted to say something more but could only silently pray in his heart that our father would spare the Eighth Brother this time.

Chu Baihan was outside; she initially wanted to listen to what the two brothers were conspiring about inside the carriage.

But just at that moment, the carriage passed through a busy market, and the variety of noises mixed together, severely affecting her, so she ended up hearing nothing.

With a strange feeling, she entered the Imperial Palace.

The carriage stopped in front of the Imperial Study, and Yan Lin got down from the carriage.

His tall stature stood beside her, and the setting sun’s residual light fell on him, casting a shadow before her.

When she looked up, her eyes met his sharp and profound gaze.

“You and Prince Nine just stay here,” he said calmly.

“Yes, Eighth Prince,” Chu Baihan nodded submissively, careful not to reveal any slip-up.

Soon, he turned and entered the Imperial Study.

Yan Lian also got down from the carriage, his heart full of worry as he looked toward the door of the Imperial Study and muttered softly, “Eighth Brother, is it worth it…”

Hearing her words, Chu Baihan slightly frowned.

What did he mean by that?

It felt as though Yan Lin was about to face a great disaster.

The two of them stood outside for a full hour, and the sky had darkened.

The cold wind blew, Chu Baihan’s complexion remained unchanged, but her mood was somewhat heavy.

Why had Yan Lin been inside for so long and still had not come out?

Just then, the door to the Imperial Study opened.

Chu Baihan immediately looked up and saw that Yan Lin’s face was extremely pale, and there seemed to be a thin sweat on his forehead.

“Eighth Brother,” Yan Lian hurried over.

Chu Baihan hesitated for a moment before following.

Yan Lian reached out to pull Yan Lin, but the latter staggered a bit.

Chu Baihan’s hands moved faster than her mind, and she immediately reached out to support Yan Lin, his weight pressing down on her shoulder…

Both of them turned cold.

She frowned, wanting to push him away.

But as her hand was raised to touch his back, she felt a wet patch.

Blood, so much blood…

She looked down to see her fingers covered in fresh blood.

Seeing this scene, Yan Lian’s eyes reddened, and he asked anxiously, “Eighth Brother, did our father resort to using corporal punishment on you?”

Yan Lin frowned, he struggled to stand upright and then said hoarsely, “Merely a hundred lashes in exchange for our father agreeing to investigate the crimes of the Chu Family.

This Prince…

does not lose.”
