43: Chapter 43 Chu Baihan She is Just a Pawn
43 -43 Chu Baihan She is Just a Pawn
“Princess Consort, you must take care of yourself, for you carry our little Princely Heir in your womb,”
Seeing Chu Baihan return to the room still appearing lost in thought, Ruolan’s crying grew louder.
Doctor Wei had repeatedly cautioned that the Princess Consort was frail and the fetal position unstable, she must not be subjected to great happiness or sadness.
“No, I must clear up this matter with him.
What right does he have to have people follow me!”
Perhaps the child inside her gave her strength, as Chu Baihan quickly stood up and walked out.
The guard still stood at the door of Qianling Pavilion, hesitant whether to leave or stay.
“Where is the Prince now?” Chu Baihan quickly asked.
“Before coming here, I believe I saw Lord Ziying and the Prince head to Cuiyue Building,”
The guard pondered for a long time before finally recalling this.
Cuiyue Building?
Isn’t that the most secluded tavern in the capital city?
What is Yan Lin doing there all of a sudden?
Confused, but Chu Baihan did not have the mind to ponder deeply, she was filled with thoughts of explaining things to him.
So, she had Ruolan prepare the carriage, and the two of them headed to Cuiyue Building.
In the carriage, Chu Baihan covered her abdomen with her hand, her eyes filled with a gentle light.
“Ruolan, I have decided that once I meet the Prince, I will tell him the joyful news.
Also, Uncle Tang is indeed a person from Tang Sect, but he has never harmed me.
I don’t think Tang Sect has any reason to harm the Prince.
I will clear up this matter well with him,”
She softly said to Ruolan.
Ruolan’s eyes brimmed with tears upon hearing this.
It was wonderful that the Princess Consort was willing to clarify these matters.
She didn’t want there to be any misunderstandings between the Prince and Princess Consort.
After a long carriage ride, they finally arrived beneath Cuiyue Building.
“Princess Consort, we don’t know which private room the Prince is in,” Ruolan muttered under her breath.
“Then we must search one by one,” Chu Baihan said, lifting her skirt and walking directly into Cuiyue Building.
At this moment, in the innermost private room of the second floor.
Liu Shuxin, having made herself up carefully, her cheeks flushed with a maiden’s shyness upon seeing Yan Lin appear.
“Tell me, what was the meaning of the message you had sent through my guard today?”
Yan Lin was direct, his voice cold and detached.
Liu Shuxin wrinkled her brow, feigning distress, “Big brother, you weren’t this harsh to me in the past.
The medicine I spoke of, of course, it was the one I gave to you back then.
Oh, and I also gave you a Jade Pendant.”
Upon her words, Yan Lin, Ziying, and Ziwu’s expressions changed.
Yan Lin’s fingers clenched tightly…
These were indeed the actions of the young girl from back then.
So, was Liu Shuxin truly the young girl from those years?
Finding the young girl should have been a happy occasion, yet Yan Lin felt resistant in his heart.
He always felt that the young girl in his memory shouldn’t be like this…
With a heavy gaze, he inquired coldly about several events from the past, but Liu Shuxin answered them smoothly.
Yan Lin’s heart sank heavily.
“Prince, I recognized you as the big brother from back then, which is why I was determined to marry you.
I didn’t expect Chu Baihan to intervene unexpectedly,” Liu Shuxin said, growing more aggrieved as she spoke.
While speaking, she also sneakily observed Yan Lin’s expression with the corner of her eye.
“Enough,” Yan Lin said coldly, his whole being radiating an air of aloofness.
“You were indeed kind to me in the past, and I will find a way to repay you in the future.”
“Ziying, return the Jade Pendant to Miss Liu,” he continued, issuing a command to Ziying.
At this point, whether Liu Shuxin was truly the young girl from those years…
didn’t matter anymore.
“Yes, Prince,” Ziying quickly went to fetch the Jade Pendant.
Hearing this, a flicker of annoyance passed through Liu Shuxin’s heart.
Why were things not going as she had anticipated?
Why was Yan Lin so indifferent towards her?
She had gathered all the secrets about Yan Lin and that young maid from an old eunuch in the Imperial Palace.
The eunuch had been responsible for cleaning that part of the Imperial Palace back then and had overheard quite a few conversations.
A few days ago, when she learned that Yan Lin’s people were secretly investigating that young maid, she bribed someone in the palace to falsify her own records of entering the palace as a young girl.
She believed she had not revealed any flaws just now; why had things turned out this way?
Seeing Ziying about to bring the Jade Pendant, Liu Shuxin quickly interjected, “Prince, Shuxin does not want you to repay her later.
Shuxin wishes to marry you.”

What?
Marry him?
Yan Lin’s eyes grew colder once again.
“Miss Liu, please show some self-respect.
I suffer from an eye disease and hold no military power.
I am not worth your concern,” he said.
“Prince, are you rejecting me because of Chu Baihan?” Liu Shuxin asked unwillingly.
She believed she was no less than Chu Baihan.
Why would Yan Lin reject her?
Taking a deep breath, without waiting for Yan Lin to respond, Liu Shuxin said bitterly, “Prince, Chu Baihan is not well-intentioned.
She is very close to the head of Tang Sect; I fear she is a pawn placed by Tang Sect by your side.”
“Liu Shuxin!
Accusing the Princess Consort like this is a serious crime.”
Yan Lin’s eyes condensed a chilling intent as he spoke, a hint of murderous aura in his words.
Even though the person in front of him might be the young girl from years ago, he would not allow her to frame Chu Baihan.
Unwilling to give up, Liu Shuxin continued, “Prince, you are suspicious of Chu Baihan too, aren’t you…”
Just then, Chu Baihan reached the top of the stairs and heard Liu Shuxin’s words from afar.
Her eyelids twitched harshly.
So, Yan Lin was meeting with Liu Shuxin?
What could these two possibly have to discuss?
And what did Liu Shuxin mean by that?
“If you weren’t suspicious of her, why would you hide from her the fact that your eyesight is almost restored?”
Inside the room, Liu Shuxin asked in a probing tone.
Seeing the change in Yan Lin’s expression, she knew her guess was right.
That day at Jiangxin Palace, she had been observing secretly.
So she could clearly feel that Yan Lin’s reactions didn’t seem like those of someone who couldn’t see at all.
Outside the room, Chu Baihan’s head buzzed.
Indeed, Yan Lin’s eyesight was almost restored, yet he had been deceiving her every day.
She knew it, her treatment methods were correct, yet why couldn’t he see anything?
So, he had been deceiving her…
all because he suspected her, so he even refused to share his medical conditions with her.
And like a fool, she had trusted him completely and unreservedly.
Her body staggered, Chu Baihan felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead, but none of these compared to her disappointment.
“Princess Consort,” Ruolan called her worriedly.
“Help the Princess Consort inside,” Chu Baihan grit her teeth and said.
She wanted to confront Yan Lin herself.
As the two of them approached the door, Yan Lin, Ziying, and Ziwu all had their backs to her.
Only Liu Shuxin was facing the doorway…
Seeing her arrive, a sharp glint flashed through Liu Shuxin’s eyes.
“Prince, you specifically arranged to meet me here today.
Will the Princess Consort sister be upset?”
“But you probably don’t care about that, after all, the Princess Consort sister is just a pawn—a pawn for you to use against the Chu family and to lure out Tang Sect, right?”
As she spoke, Liu Shuxin lunged into Yan Lin’s arms.
This scene stung Chu Baihan’s eyes and intensified the pain in her abdomen, causing her body to tremble.
She bit her lower lip until beads of blood appeared, and trembling, she clasped Ruolan’s hand and silently mouthed for her to leave quickly…
Ruolan understood her meaning, panic-stricken, she quickly helped her down the stairs.
“Quick, find Doctor Wei.
Something is wrong with the Princess Consort’s abdomen…” After descending the stairs, Chu Baihan’s voice carried a deep cry as she shakily spoke to Ruolan, no longer able to save herself.
“Yes, yes, Princess Consort, I will take you back to Qianling Pavilion first,” Ruolan suddenly remembered that Doctor Wei had mentioned he would visit Qianling Pavilion today.
As they got into the carriage, Chu Baihan struggled to look back at Cuiyue Building once more and suddenly smiled, then, like a child seeking praise from Ruolan, she said,
“Ruolan, did you see that?
The Princess Consort held on, I escaped without losing my composure in front of them.”
Watching the Princess Consort’s smile, tears the size of beans continually fell from Ruolan’s eyes.
“Princess Consort, let’s go back, we are going back now, please stop smiling, really…
please stop smiling…”
If the Prince and the Princess Consort were fine before, why had things come to be like this now?
Prince, do you really see the Princess Consort only as a pawn?
