My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 102 She Hates Him

Chapter 102: Chapter 102 She Hates Him

Chu Hesheng clenched his fists, his voice filled with anger as he spoke.

"Oh? If it was not you, then why did Prince Yan discover evidence against you? Prince, what do you say?"

Chu Baihan glanced sideways, her indifferent gaze falling upon Yan Lin.

Meeting her gaze, Yan Lin felt a slight sting in his heart.

She truly...

Hated him.

"All evidence points to the Chu Family, General Chu, what else do you have to say?"

Although he was certain that Chu Hesheng was not behind her coma, he still decided to help her.

Based solely on the deeds Chu Hesheng had committed over the years, he deserved death.

"Prince, I absolutely did not commit such acts, you cannot falsely accuse me!" Chu Hesheng spoke anxiously and angrily.

"I wonder how the Emperor sees this matter? Having been unconscious for so long, I do not know if father has received the news yet. If we now send a letter to Nanduan Kingdom, perhaps we can stop father from issuing a certain command."

Chu Baihan said to Yan Tian with a smile.

Yan Tian’s expression darkened.

Was she threatening him?

However, this matter was indeed Yan Country’s fault to begin with.

His cold eyes swept over Chu Hesheng and Liu Cheng, kneeling on the ground...

After all, these two men truly deserved to die.

"Princess Consort, I will certainly give you an explanation. But Chu Hesheng is currently involved in other cases, and I need to investigate everything thoroughly before making a decision," he said coldly.

Other cases?

Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan raised her eyebrows slightly, and with a feigned confusion, she asked, "May I know if the other cases the Emperor mentioned include embezzlement, murder of a court official, and... plotting against the Princess Consort?"

After Chu Baihan’s words, the Emperor’s eyes narrowed quickly, sizing her up with a penetrating stare.

"How does the Princess Consort know of these matters?" he asked warily.

"Emperor, the commotion was so loud earlier, I heard it from outside,"

Chu Baihan lowered her eyes and smoothed the creases on her sleeve, speaking softly.

Is that really the case?

The investigative look in the Emperor’s eyes did not diminish much.

On the other hand, Liu Shuxin was already extremely panicked.

She could not understand how, after all these years, the matter that was jointly covered up by the Liu Family and the Chu Family could have been uncovered.

"The Princess Consort is indeed a pitiful person, with a father willing to stop at nothing for power, an ungrateful husband, and a half-sister and stranger plotting against her life..."

Chu Baihan took steps toward Liu Shuxin.

With each word she spoke, Liu Shuxin’s heart trembled.

Why did she feel that the way Nan Baihan was looking at her was eerily similar to that despicable person coming to claim her life?

Feeling extremely panicked, she was on the verge of collapse.

Finally, she could not hold back any longer.

She let out a shrill scream and then shouted loudly, "How can this be blamed on me? If anyone is to blame, it’s you for taking the Princess Consort’s position, you should die!"

"Shuxin!"

Liu Cheng pulled her back in a fluster.

Why was she speaking as if shewas possessed, spilling everything!

Upon hearing this shout, the madness in Liu Shuxin’s eyes dissipated a bit.

She slowly regained her senses and shook her head quickly: "No, that wasn’t what I truly meant."

She hurriedly turned around and kowtowed to Yan Tian, "Emperor, I spoke out of extreme anger just now, those were not true words, please you must believe me and my father!"

Not true words?

Chu Baihan slowly withdrew her gaze, a mocking curve drawn at the corners of her mouth.

Her maneuvering these past days had finally borne fruit.

That day, Liu Shuxin was injured on the boat, and there was medicine smeared on the blade.

It wasn’t any kind of serious poison...

It was just that once someone came into contact with it, they’d spill some secrets buried deep within when their emotions were out of control.

And indeed, Liu Shuxin had let her secrets slip.

"Liu Shuxin, I used to think you were a good child; I really misjudged you!"

Yan Tian flung his sleeves furiously, his tone filled with annoyance.

"Your Majesty, that’s not it, your servant really hasn’t done anything..." Liu Shuxin was still stubborn to the end, tearfully denying everything.

Chu Baihan had no desire to witness any more of these disgusting facades; she gave a slight bow and then said in a cool voice, "Your Majesty, I just woke up and am unwell, so I will return to the residence first."

Yan Tian couldn’t wait for her to leave so he could deal with the situation, so he quickly nodded, "Alright, someone escort the eldest Princess back to the residence."

As Chu Baihan turned to leave, she didn’t forget to look back and remind Yan Tian with deep meaning, "Your Majesty, I trust you will certainly deliver justice for me and... Princess Consort Yan Lin."

After saying this, she left without looking back.

At these words, Yan Tian’s expression darkened further.

He had originally planned to handle many matters discreetly and let them be, but with Chu Baihan’s words taking things to this extent, the possibility of keeping things low-key was gone; otherwise, he, the Emperor of Yan Country, would become a laughingstock.

"Summon the Crown Prince, the First Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and all the Ministers to the court!" he commanded in a stern voice.

Chu Hesheng and the others turned pale as death upon hearing this...

The Emperor was truly intending to thoroughly investigate these matters and then deal with them.

"Your son requests to leave." Yan Lin dropped these words, not waiting for Yan Tian’s consent; he turned to pursue Chu Baihan.

"This scourge, does he have no regard for me, his father, the Emperor!"

Seeing Yan Lin’s attitude, Yan Tian got angry.

Time and again, the Eighth Prince had been confrontational with him.

But considering the priority was to deal with Chu Hesheng and the others, he suppressed the rage in his heart for the time being.

...

As Chu Baihan stepped out of the Imperial Study, she intended to board her carriage, but Yan Lin had already caught up with her.

He seized her wrist in his grasp.

But the next moment, a cold and ice-sharp dagger pressed against his wrist.

"Prince Yan Lin, two choices. Let go of me, or have your tendons severed by this princess."

Yan Lian also hurried over and saw this scene, nearly jumping out of his skin in fright.

"Uh, e-eight Princess Consort, please calm down a bit."

He quickly pried his Eighth Brother’s hand away.

Given his Eighth Brother’s personality, it was entirely possible that he would rather have his tendons severed than let go.

Princess Consort, eh?

A flicker passed through Chu Baihan’s eyes, they had indeed guessed her identity, yet her heart felt little turbulence.

She turned again, seeking to board the carriage once more.

But at that moment, Yan Lin’s urgent voice came from behind her.

"Back then, I had no idea what Liu Shuxin had done to you. You cured my eyesight; you are my Princess Consort; why would I want to kill you?"

Hearing these words, her footsteps paused ever so slightly.

Seizing the chance, Yan Lian quickly interjected, "Yeah, Eight Princess Consort, if we had known it was Liu Shuxin and your half-sister behind this, my Eighth Brother would never have let them off."

"Did you see something at Cuiyue Building? That time, Liu Shuxin was masquerading as a young girl I had known many years ago, thus I went to meet her. I already recognized you as the mistress of the Prince Residence, so I wanted to make a clean break with her..."

"During that, she hinted several times she wanted to replace you, but I refused her each time. She tried to throw herself into my arms, but I evaded her every time."

Yan Lin wished the scene could replay itself, to recreate those events in front of Chu Baihan.
