My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 74 - Framing the Chu Family

She quickly nodded, “Yes, this servant will proceed with caution.”

“Moreover, Dongqing is posing as me lying in bed.

She has already taken the medicine in advance.

Those Imperial Physicians won’t notice anything odd, but you still need to be careful,” Chu Baihan continued to instruct.

Dongqing was a Hidden Guard given to her by the Emperor, her build similar to hers, and she was especially skilled in the Disguise Technique.

During the day, she had her guards fetch medicine precisely to have Dongqing concoct a disguise for the four of them.

Dongqing’s Disguise Technique, even if exposed to water, would not give her away.

That was also why, even though rainwater had pelted her face today, she still hadn’t revealed her real appearance.

“I believe that after this time, those who doubt my identity will behave more compliantly,” Chu Baihan stated calmly.

“Princess, if you have Dongqing pretend to be you in a constant state of unconsciousness, where will you be these days?” Nan Xing asked with a worried tone.

“Of course, I’ll be doing what we need to do in the shadows.

Have Tianye’s men all been called to the capital city?”

A cold light flashed through Chu Baihan’s eyes.

“This servant reports back to the Princess, everyone is here.”

“Hmm, our first step now is to make a move against the Chu Family.

Once the Emperor is overwhelmed, we’ll then figure out a way to enter the treasury,” Chu Baihan continued in a cold voice.

The Imperial Palace has always been guarded by the Imperial Army, and the National Treasury is as secure as a fortress.

Even with a key, one must not take risks, because no one knows exactly what the situation inside is like.

The most crucial point is that they only have one opportunity.

If they alert the enemy prematurely, it will be much more difficult to enter the treasury again in the future.

Therefore, they must be fully prepared, leaving no room for mistakes.

“This servant understands.

However, Princess, this servant saw that Prince Lin seemed very sorrowful today.

Did he discover something?”

Nan Xing hesitated for a moment but still spoke up.

At Nan Xing’s words, Chu Baihan’s eyes flashed briefly.

In her mind, she recalled how today at the lake, Yan Lin protected her without hesitation.

Even though the arrows were about to hit him, he was still thinking of her safety.

Yet the whole situation today had been orchestrated by her from the beginning.

But soon after, she also remembered the events of the past year…

Her entire aura instantly turned ice-cold.

Clenching her fists, she said indifferently, “Pay him no mind.”

Even if he had truly discovered something, what of it?

They were destined to only be enemies!

Noting the shift in her mood, Nan Xing realized she had misspoken and quickly apologized, “This servant was wrong, this servant will not speak of Prince Lin’s matters from now on.”

…

Over here, Chu You stayed in the Princess Residence until late into the night, finally able to leave.

She got into the carriage and hurried toward the Chu Residence.

So much rouge had been applied to her face that it was nearly itching her to death.

She took off her veil and scratched her face forcefully, leaving behind vicious streaks of blood.

“Mi, Miss, you really shouldn’t scratch anymore,” the maid sitting opposite her said with trepidation.

“I am your mistress, and I will do as I please.

When has it ever been your place to question me?”

Already in a bad mood, Chu You’s face turned instantly gloomy upon being questioned.

Along with the scars on her face, she looked extremely ferocious and frightening.

The maid lowered her head in genuine fear, worried that she might suffer again, so she dared not speak another word.

Chu You withdrew her glare angrily and muttered discontentedly, “I was hoping that Nan Baihan would help me with my face at today’s banquet, but she ended up ruining herself.”

“With her kind of luck, it’s very unlucky.

I’m just glad that I didn’t get too close to her today, or else I would have been plagued by her bad luck.”

The maid didn’t dare to speak carelessly, only nodding vigorously, “Yes, that’s right, Miss, we are indeed fortunate today.”

“On that boat, almost everyone got hurt, but only I was left unharmed; my luck is truly good,” Chu You continued to boast proudly.

Thinking of Liu Shuxin’s bloody and messy figure, she felt rather pleased.

The two maids opposite each other stealthily exchanged glances, both wearing awkward expressions.

If everyone on a boat has an accident except for one person…

could that person be the murderer?

But fearing their mistress’s anger, they didn’t dare to speak carelessly.

Finally, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Chu Residence.

Chu You left her face uncovered, quickly lifted the curtain, and ran down; she sprinted toward the interior of the residence.

She was eager to tell her mother about this matter.

But as soon as her feet crossed the threshold, Ziyi holding a torch approached her.

“Seize Miss Chu the second and throw her into the Sky Prison.”

Chu You had not yet reacted when her shoulders were seized.

“What are you doing?

This is the Chu Residence.

How dare you do this to me?

Careful, or my father will not let you off!” Chu You shouted and made a scene.

But when she saw Yan Lin’s indifferent face, her voice weakened.

She nervously asked, “Yan…

Yan Prince, what’s happening?

Why have you come to the Chu Residence?”

“The Chu Family plotted against the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom; the crime is punishable by death,” Yan Lin said, his dark eyes filled with murderous intent.

Chu You grew both anxious and panicked; she quickly denied the accusation, “Prince Yan, you can’t wrong us like this.

How could our Chu Residence possibly plot against the Princess?”

“Today on that boat, you, who clearly do not know martial arts, emerged without a scratch.

Isn’t that the killer intentionally sparing you?” Yan Lin said coldly.

Chu You was stunned.

She never expected that her good fortune would make Yan Lin suspect her.

“Prince, maybe the killer just didn’t see this servant.

Or maybe they are framing the Chu Family!”

For the first time, her mind worked urgently, and she quickly voiced these words.

“Then, would Miss Chu the second care to explain why the assassin’s clothing was found within the Chu Residence?”

Ziyi spoke coldly, and soon a Hidden Guard threw the blood-stained black clothing on the ground.

“We also found some things in General Chu’s study…” Ziyi continued, coldly smiling.

What?

Chu You’s eyes narrowed sharply; she was already panicked.
