My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 14 - Sleepwalking Again

What on earth had she done last night?

Could it be that her somnambulism had acted up again?

She patted her head, looking very annoyed.

Previously in Jiangnan, when her somnambulism flared up, she had fallen into a lake and nearly drowned, but fortunately, Nan Xing had discovered her in time and rescued her.

That’s why now, when she slept and clung to something, she would not let go even if it killed her, fearing she might drown again.

But she remembered that she hadn’t had this problem for several years now, so what was going on?

Also, did she do anything to a certain prince last night?

Turning her head, she touched the bedding next to her; it was already cold.

Forget it, there are more important things to do!

Pushing down the emotions in her heart, Chu Baihan quickly got out of bed.

After quickly washing up and dressing, she arrived at the door of the study.

“Ziyi, could you pass a message to your prince for me?

I need to see him,” she said softly to Ziyi, who stood at the door.

Ziyi hesitated for a moment but still went in to convey the message.

However, he came out quickly and said sternly, “Princess Consort, the prince said you can speak whatever you want from outside.”

Stingy, she had even cured him of his poison last night, and today she couldn’t even get an audience, Chu Baihan grumbled to herself.

But her visit wasn’t about seeing him anyway.

“Prince, I need to go out for a while.”

She didn’t think she could freely come and go from the Prince Residence, being a princess consort in name only; to avoid any issues, she felt it was better to ask for permission beforehand.

The room remained ominously quiet; she couldn’t get an answer from him no matter how long she waited, and Chu Baihan’s expression grew more helpless.

Given the prince’s suspicious nature, how could he possibly let her out.

But just as she turned around to leave in disappointment, Yan Lin’s indifferent voice came from the room, “You can go out, but Ziyi must accompany you.”

He agreed?

Chu Baihan’s face was full of surprise, and she quickly said, “Thank you, prince.”

Although he was implying Ziyi was to supervise her, the fact that he agreed was already beyond her expectations.

Hearing the excited voice outside, Yan Lin frowned.

He had only granted her a request, and yet she was so easily satisfied?

He had thought she would throw a tantrum for much longer, just like when she was asleep.

At this thought, an unnatural expression crossed his face once again.

…

Upon learning that Chu Baihan was to go out, Nanny Xiao found a maid from within the residence for her.

Thus, Chu Baihan and the maid took a seat in the carriage, with Ziyi acting as the coachman outside.

“What is your name?” Chu Baihan arched her eyebrows and asked the little maid opposite her, with her cheeks rosy and braids tied up on either side, in a soft voice.

“This servant, this servant is called Ruolan.” Hearing the question, the maid answered with great apprehension.

Seeing her like this, Chu Baihan couldn’t help but smile instead.

For she saw a reflection of Nan Xing in the other girl.

Nan Xing was also quite timid; she couldn’t help but wonder how Nan Xing was faring in the Chu Residence…

Her thoughts drifted, and Chu Baihan’s smile faded somewhat.

“Princess, Princess Consort, did this servant do something wrong?” Seeing the change in Chu Baihan’s expression, Ruolan thought she had made a mistake and was ready to plead guilty.

“It’s alright, you have done nothing wrong.

Tell me about the Prince Residence,” Chu Baihan reassured her softly.

Perhaps it was Chu Baihan’s gentle tone that eased Ruolan’s anxious heart a bit.

She asked respectfully, “Princess Consort, what would you like to hear about?”

“Why have I not seen any of the Prince’s concubines during my days at the Prince Residence?” Chu Baihan propped her chin, asking out of curiosity.

The Prince Residence was quite large, but extraordinarily desolate.

There weren’t many servants around, let alone the so-called concubines.

They were practically non-existent.

“Princess Consort, you…

don’t know about the Prince’s past?” Ruolan’s little face crinkled worriedly, her expression especially odd.

“Oh?

Are you referring to the rumor that since the Prince had an accident, it’s difficult for others to approach him, otherwise they risk losing their lives?”

Chu Baihan slapped her forehead as if she had just realized something and spoke candidly.

She had experienced this herself; on the night of her wedding, she nearly had her neck twisted by a certain Commandery Prince.

“But what I am curious about is whether your Prince did not have any women before his accident?

He’s of an age now; it doesn’t seem likely,” Chu Baihan murmured, chin still in hand.

Ruolan was scared to the point of tears by her words; the Princess Consort really had the nerve to speak so freely.

Ziyi, outside the carriage, thanks to his profound inner strength, could hear every word clearly, and his face distorted.

The Prince is of an age?

The Prince is only in his twenties, still very young indeed!

“Princess, Princess Consort, such words should not be said again,” Ruolan braced herself to remind her; she continued, “The Prince never had a concubine before either because he spent most of his time on the battlefield.

The Imperial Noble Consort and ministers at court have tried to push women into the Prince Residence, but each time the Prince returned, he would order the guards to throw them out, showing no regard for their dignity.”

“I see.

His being so fierce after his accident is understandable.

But that he disliked women even before his accident makes one wonder if he had some hidden illness?”

As a doctor, Chu Baihan naturally pondered such things.

The words in her mind spilled out in her mutterings.

Ruolan wanted to cry even more.

This was something she, a mere lowly maid, could not discuss!

Ziyi’s face outside the carriage was even harder to describe.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.

Tell me about the Medical Clinic in the capital city,” Chu Baihan yawned languidly and brought up another question.

Ruolan sighed in relief.

As long as it wasn’t a slight against the Prince, she was willing to discuss anything with the Princess Consort.

“There are many medical clinics in the capital, but Guangming Hall, run by the Su Family of the Commandery Prince residence, is the most famous.

Nearly all the renowned doctors in the capital are recruited there.”

So that was the situation.

Chu Baihan’s eyes dropped, concealing the chill within them.

Healers easily win the hearts of the people.

No wonder Yan Lin mentioned that the Su Family had earned quite a reputation for the Crown Prince.
