My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 42 - He Sends Someone to Follow Her

“Hmm, indeed it was a Tang, why do you ask?”

“This servant heard today from people outside that the Governor’s Office is searching the city for people surnamed Tang, it seems to be to find members of the Tang Sect…”

Ruolan furrowed her brow, recalling the words she had heard carefully.

“What?”

Chu Baihan’s expression started to change.

“Are you sure, the Governor’s Office is looking for members of the Tang Sect?

Why?” she asked urgently.

Ruolan had not expected Chu Baihan to react so strongly, and was startled, quickly answering seriously, “This servant is sure!

It seems the Governor’s Office is doing this because someone from the Tang Sect colluded with an insider to harm our Prince.”

“Impossible!

The Tang Sect would not harm the Prince,”

Heard this, Chu Baihan fervently retorted.

Although she was not a member of the Tang Sect, she had received help from the Tang Sect in the past.

Since the Tang Sect has rules not to interfere in court matters, they could not possibly intend to harm Yan Lin.

Yan Lin was at the doorway with Ziyi at the moment, just in time to hear Chu Baihan’s resolute words, and his expression instantly turned cold.

Ziyi’s expression also appeared troubled.

His master had come over now, originally to clarify the Princess Consort’s relationship with the Tang Sect.

However, the sudden declaration by the Princess Consort…

inevitably led to further speculations.

“Prince, Prince,”

Ruolan turned around and just saw Yan Lin standing at the doorway, her voice filled with surprise.

Chu Baihan’s heart sank slightly, she hurriedly turned around, unsure if he had heard her earlier words.

Yan Lin’s expression returned to his usual distinguished and aloof demeanor as he slowly walked in.

Chu Baihan quickly stood up and asked softly, “Wasn’t the Prince out?

Why have you returned?”

“This Prince thought…” to see you.

The last two words, originally intended by Yan Lin, flashed through his mind as he recalled Chu Baihan’s earlier statement, and he lost the desire to continue speaking.

Chu Baihan could not fathom his thoughts; she took a sachet from her bosom and handed it to him.

“This is a sachet I sewed for you, containing herbs, you’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, this should help you sleep,” she explained softly.

Yan Lin’s fingertips carefully traced the stitching on the sachet, his dark eyes revealing a complex set of emotions.

“Prince, the Grand Empress often mentions, hoping that our Prince Residence will have children, do you…”

Chu Baihan looked at Yan Lin, probing,

Yan Lin was pondering the matter of the Tang Sect, so he had no interest in exploring the implications of her question, instead he cut her off lightly, “I have said before, I do not want children.”

He still had vendettas unavenged, and his vision had not fully recovered, now was indeed not a suitable time to have children affecting him.

“Okay, okay, Prince, I understand,” the hope in Chu Baihan’s eyes gradually faded, finally leaving her lips without a smile.

Ruolan at the side felt deeply pained as she watched.

The Princess Consort must have been full of anticipation to tell the Prince about her pregnancy just now.

But with the Prince’s words said, the disappointment the Princess Consort must feel.

“Princess Consort…” Ruolan’s eyes reddened slightly, she called out worriedly.

Chu Baihan pushed down the bitterness in her heart, then said softly, “Ruolan, we should go to the doctor’s office now, otherwise Doctor Wu will be too busy.”

“Prince, I am going to the doctor’s office first.”

Yan Lin didn’t so much as glance at Chu Baihan as he spoke these words before turning to leave.

Watching Chu Baihan leave, Yan Lin frowned and said, “Have someone secretly follow her.”

“My lord, are you thinking of surveilling the Princess Consort?” Ziyi asked with a worried tone.

The relationship between the Prince and the Princess Consort had only recently improved slightly, and if the Princess Consort were to discover that the Prince had someone track her, she would definitely be angry.

Yan Lin’s eyes darkened, and he originally wanted to explain something, but in the end, he merely said in a faint voice, “Just have someone follow her.”

Alright…

“Yes, my lord.”

Just at that moment, Ziwu strode in.

“My lord, someone is requesting to see you.

She says she wants to ask if you still remember the medicine she gave you under the sweet osmanthus tree in the Imperial Palace years ago.”

What?

Hearing this, Yan Lin’s expression changed drastically.

Back then, only the two of them knew about the young girl who had given him the medicine under the sweet osmanthus tree, but now this person knew as well…

Could she be the young girl?

“Ziyi, about the investigation you conducted on the owner of the jade pendant, how did it go?” he asked Ziyi gravely.

Ziyi quickly answered, “Prince, I found that during that period, only a few ladies from prominent families who entered the palace matched the identity and age.

When I investigated further, the nurse from the Liu Family mentioned that it belonged to their young mistress.”

The Liu Family?

“Do you mean, Liu Shuxin?” Yan Lin’s eyes darkened.

The young girl…

was Liu Shuxin?

“Prince, will you see her?” Ziyi asked awkwardly.

Yan Lin pondered for a long while before finally speaking, “Arrange a place, I will meet her.”

The matters of the past indeed needed some closure.

“What about the Princess Consort…” Ziwu expressed his concern.

“Keep this from her,” Yan Lin commanded with a tight frown, his voice hoarse.

Ziyi and Ziwu exchanged looks and eventually responded, “Yes, my lord.”

…

Busy at Qianling Pavilion, Chu Baihan felt uneasy and on edge all morning, sensing that something was about to happen.

Could it be because of Tang Sect?

She quickly fetched pen and ink to jot down a message for Tang Wankai.

She had initially planned to call Ruolan to deliver the message, but in the end, she couldn’t set her worries aside.

So, she tore the letter up and decided to visit the pawnshop herself to clarify some matters with Tang Wankai.

But as she and Ruolan stepped out the back door, her expression grew grave.

Turning around, she looked sharply at a corner and said out loud, “Come out, how long do you intend to follow the Princess Consort?”

Soon, a man dressed as a guard stepped out from the corner.

He bowed his head in frustration.

Lord Ziying had strictly warned not to be noticed by the Princess Consort, but he hadn’t anticipated that her perceptiveness was so acute.

Seeing the uniform of the Prince Residence’s guard he was wearing, Chu Baihan felt a bitterness in her heart, and she asked in a stifled voice, “Did the Prince send you to follow the Princess Consort?”

“Princess Consort, the Prince he…”

“Enough, you need not say more, I understand,” she interrupted him coldly.

The Prince…

had never trusted her, neither in the past nor now.

If this had happened before, Yan Lin’s distrust wouldn’t have affected her.

However, after all they had been through, he still held her at arm’s length.

Clutching her chest, she felt as though she couldn’t breathe.

“Princess Consort,” Ruolan was terribly anxious, rushing to support her.

“Ruolan, help the Princess Consort back inside; I will not be going out anymore,” Chu Baihan said with a bitter smile.

Going to see Uncle Tang now would only endanger him and Tang Sect.

Seeing the dim light in her eyes, Ruolan felt her heart ache and could only choke out, “Yes, Princess Consort, I will take you inside.”
