My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 57 - Where is the Girl From
57: Chapter 57 Where is the Girl From?
57 -57 Where is the Girl From?
An hour later, the house doctor said that Chu You had broken several bones and needed a good rest for recovery.
“Youyou, weren’t you going with the Princess to enjoy the flowers?
How did you end up like this?” Mrs.
Jiang asked with a heartache.
Chu You had no choice but to recount what had just happened.
Over the years, Mrs.
Jiang had become quite scheming, so now she was more cautious.
She frowned, her expression unclear as she asked, “Youyou, do you think the Princess did it on purpose?”
“Mother, I met her today and she isn’t very clever; she never suspected me.
You don’t need to worry so much, she’s just of a good family, that’s all, with no schemes at all,” Chu You said nonchalantly, waving her hand dismissively.
Was it really so?
Mrs.
Jiang looked worried, “But you are injured…”
“She tried to help me expel water from my belly, but her Inner Strength was so strong that she accidentally caused this,” Chu You said, still indifferent.
“Alright, mother, you can rest assured now.
As long as she is not Chu Baihan, there is nothing at the Chu Residence that she can scheme against, and instead, we can use her.
Please get up and make arrangements for me; I want to invite all the noble ladies in the capital to the Princess Residence,” Chu You said excitedly.
Thinking of showing off in front of those disdainful girls in a few days made her heart flutter with excitement.
“Youyou, Liu Shuxin and the Princess had an unpleasant disagreement during the palace banquet.
If you get close to the Princess, Liu Shuxin might not be pleased,” Mrs.
Jiang reminded her.
Chu You scoffed.
“Liu Shuxin can’t help me, does she forbid me from seeking higher connections?”
“Mother, really, don’t worry.
Once I use the Princess to marry the Crown Prince, no one will dare to look down on us again,” Chu You continued excitedly.
“But, but the doctor said you need to rest…”
“It’s fine, a little medicine and the pain will go away,” Chu You said, waving her hand.
Mrs.
Jiang was still worried, but seeing Chu You insist, she no longer persuaded her.
Late at night.
Chu You was still excited about today’s events, dreaming of marrying the Crown Prince in her sleep.
But suddenly, she felt an itchy sensation on her body.
She moved her body and raised her hand to scratch.
Resulting in a severe pain in her chest, she hurriedly opened her eyes.
By the dim night light from the window, she saw red spots all over her arm.
Panicked, she raised her hand to touch her face and found it was all covered with raised marks.
Her body trembled, wondering why this was happening.
She tried to speak, but her throat was so sore it was hard to shout out a complete sentence.

All she could do was get up, ready to run out and find someone, but just then, a rustling sound came from the window.
She struggled to turn her head, only to see a shadow moving.
It seemed as if several faces appeared at the window, all of those she had wronged over the years.
“Ah…”
She finally managed to scream, but then she passed out.
…
The next morning.
At the Princess Residence.
“Princess, I heard that the Chu Residence was very lively last night,” Nan Xing said in a low voice, helping Chu Baihan get dressed.
Chu Baihan’s expression remained cold.
The coming days are going to be difficult for Chu You.
“Princess, there is news,” Ruolan said, entering quickly.
At Ruolan’s words, Chu Baihan’s eyes finally showed a ripple.
“How is it?
Has Xixi been found?” she asked urgently.
“Replying to the Princess, the Princely Heir has not been found, but he has sent a letter,” Ruolan said quickly, presenting a letter.
Chu Baihan swiftly took the letter, opened it.
The writing on the letter was small, but neat, not at all like that of a five-year-old child.
“Mother, I don’t want to stay in Nanduan Kingdom, I am off wandering.
I know a bit of martial arts and have the poison you gave me, so no one dares to hurt me.
And also, Grandpa Tang is with me too, so don’t worry…”
After reading the letter, Chu Baihan’s worries only grew.
“Princess, don’t worry, the Princely Heir said so himself, Tang is also with him, and since the Tang Sect has influence everywhere, they will surely protect him well,” Nan Xing quickly tried to reassure her.
Chu Baihan pressed her throbbing forehead, and said helplessly, “I hadn’t expected Xixi to even find Uncle Tang.
Although I’m not worried about him being bullied outside, his body…
is really not suited for this strain.”
She had been forced to drink the abortion pill years ago and had escaped a fiery ordeal, harming the fetus inside her, and even after using many precious medicines, it had been futile.
When Xixi was born, both nearly lost their lives.
Since birth, Xixi had been frail and sickly, beyond even her ability to heal.
Hearing that the Yan Country’s National Treasury had a Centennial Snow Lotus that could be used to make a medicine might save Xixi’s life.
Otherwise, Xixi would not live past…
six years old.
Suppressing the bitterness in her eyes, Chu Baihan issued an order in a deep voice, “Find a way to contact Uncle Tang, and have him send Xixi back to Nanduan Kingdom.”
Xixi outside, she could never be at ease.
“Yes, Princess.”
“Nan Xing, continue to help this princess change her clothes.”
“Yes, Princess.
I heard that the fifth prince likes jade, so I have prepared some fine jade for you,” Nan Xing quickly said.
“Good, you arrange it then.”
After changing her clothes, Chu Baihan quickly left the residence and boarded the carriage.
She had already agreed to meet Yan Jin at Cuiyue Building.
“Cuiyue Building, such a familiar place,” Chu Baihan murmured softly, her expression cold.
“Princess?” Nan Xing called out worriedly.
Chu Baihan’s eyes flashed momentarily, then she remembered that it was Ruolan, not Nan Xing, who had accompanied her to Cuiyue Building back then.
Nan Xing did not know about that event from the past.
“It’s nothing.
Just recalling some people and events that aren’t worth it,” Chu Baihan said sarcastically, then she withdrew her gaze.
The carriage passed through the bustling market, but suddenly the way forward was blocked.
“Princess, it seems something has happened up ahead, the people are all gathered there, we can’t pass,” Nan Xing said with a frown.
“Wait,” Chu Baihan said in a muted voice, supporting her forehead with one hand and closing her eyes.
But they waited for a long while, and the crowd did not disperse; instead, more people gathered, and the noise grew louder.
“Is there another road?” Chu Baihan opened her eyes and asked coldly.
“Replying to the Princess, it seems…
there isn’t,” Nan Xing answered Chu Baihan in a subdued tone after inquiring from the coachman.
Chu Baihan was also annoyed by the outside noise, so she lifted the carriage curtain and quickly stepped down.
Possibly due to her exceedingly cold demeanor, the people couldn’t help but make way for her.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that a child’s leg had been crushed by a horse, and the situation was critical.
Two men were supporting the child, arguing incessantly.
“I’ve already said that my method is the most feasible, stop talking nonsense.”
“I also said, this child should not be moved recklessly, otherwise the fracture in his leg will worsen.”
“Ha, who are you?
I am a doctor from Guangming Hall; I have treated no less than a hundred people if not a thousand.
What right do you have to question me?” the man on the left said mockingly.
Chu Baihan’s eyes flickered upon hearing this.
So many years later, Guangming Hall was still around.
The people also voiced their agreement, “Exactly, what’s there to question about a doctor from Guangming Hall?
Just do what he says.”
“Right, Guangming Hall is the best medical institution in the capital city, and yet someone dares question their doctor’s medical skills.
This person must be some country bumpkin, right?”
“…”
“You…” The man on the right was so angry he could barely speak.
Seeing him choked up, the doctor from Guangming Hall tried to drag the child up.
“If you want to ruin this child’s life, go ahead and move him,” Chu Baihan suddenly said coldly.
After saying that, she walked over and pushed the man away.
She supported the child with one hand and withdrew several silver needles, inserting them into the child’s knee.
Soon, the child’s bleeding stopped.
“Who are you?” the people from Guangming Hall asked, wanting an explanation as they pointed at Chu Baihan.
But Nan Xing had already stepped forward, carrying him to the side as if he were a mere chick.
“Planks,” Chu Baihan said quietly.
Nan Xing immediately understood her meaning, and she quickly walked to the carriage, easily unloading two planks and bringing them over.
Chu Baihan remained silent, but her actions were very brisk.
She tore a piece of cloth from the hem of her skirt, adjusted the child’s knee, then tied the planks in place.
“Have someone find your family to carry you home, and you must not move your leg for the next few months, understand?”
Staring at the child, Chu Baihan’s tone was both gentle and serious.
“Kno-know,” the child stuttered, but nodded earnestly.
“You brat, what did you do to this child?” the man from Guangming Hall was still making a fuss.
“Noisy,” Chu Baihan’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
Nan Xing then pressed his mute acupoint.
“After so many years, the medical skills of Guangming Hall have still not improved,” Chu Baihan said sarcastically.
After saying that, she was about to turn and leave.
But at that moment, the man who had been ignored by everyone suddenly stood up.
“May I ask, miss, where are you from?
Your acupuncture resembles that of an old acquaintance of mine,” he said.
