My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 115: The Truth of That Year

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: The Truth of That Year

Chu Baihan had just returned to the Princess Residence when she saw Wuji quickly walk in holding Little Tuanzi.

"Did you two go out again?" Her eyelids twitched violently as she asked sharply.

Wuji’s face paled, and he whispered to Little Tuanzi, "Little master, maybe you should tell her."

Chu Junxi was straightforward; he took short steps to Chu Baihan, then pulled out two pieces of the jade pendant.

"This is the jade pendant your maternal grandfather gave you. Keep it safe, and don’t take it out often. If you lose it, then..."

Chu Baihan was about to mention the consequences when she saw clearly in Little Tuanzi’s chubby palms the two pieces of jade pendant, her face changed dramatically, and the teacup she was holding dropped.

The tea splashed onto her skirt, but she was completely unaware.

"Xixi, where did you get the other half of the jade pendant?" she asked, grabbing Chu Junxi’s shoulders, her tone urgent.

She remembered clearly that this half of the jade pendant... had already been buried.

"Mother, sister is alright," Chu Junxi said firmly, looking at her, each word clearly pronounced.

"Xixi, don’t joke about your sister," Chu Baihan said, shaking her head with teary eyes.

Yan Junxi became somewhat anxious, "Mother, I am not joking. This half of the jade pendant was given to me by sister; she is currently at Prince Residence, and the person we saw that day was sister!"

What?

Chu Baihan staggered, her voice filled with disbelief, "Xixi, say that again, this jade pendant... is from that girl?"

"Yes, mother."

Chu Junxi hurriedly relayed everything that had happened that day to Chu Baihan.

"Princess, could it be a deception?" Wuji still harbored a cautious heart.

It was unknown whether this could be a strategy by some Prince of the palace.

"How soon will Su Jingfu arrive?" Chu Baihan asked quietly at that moment.

Under her long sleeves, her fingers clenched tightly, her body slightly trembling, but her eyes were incredibly resolute.

The day she "had the incident", she had someone send a letter to call Su Jingfu back.

Su Jingfu was the key person for her to leave Yan Country after obtaining the Snow Ganoderma.

Being the Princess of Marriage, she obviously couldn’t just leave suddenly; there had to be a reason.

This reason could only be provided by Su Jingfu.

All these were within their plans.

Counting up, Su Jingfu should be arriving soon.

"Replying to the County Lord, Minister Su has returned,"

Just at that moment, Ruolan walked in from outside to report this matter.

The timing couldn’t have been better.

A sharp glint flashed in Chu Baihan’s eyes.

Su Jingfu was the Emperor’s trusted confidant.

The events of that year, he surely knew something about.

"Announce him!" she commanded coldly.

Soon, the dusty Su Jingfu came in.

Knowing he was a key chess piece in the Princess’s game, he had traveled slowly on his way back to Nanduan Kingdom so that his return could be quicker.

"Your subject has seen the Princess; is your health alright?" he asked worriedly.

"This Princess is unharmed. But this Princess now has something to ask Minister Su. Minister, look at this," she said, picking up the two halves of the jade pendant.

Upon raising his head, Su Jingfusaw the jade pendant pieced together.

As a minister who had served the Emperor for many years, he naturally recognized this jade pendant.

His face suddenly changed, "Pri, Princess, how did you come by this jade pendant?"

"There is a daughter of the commanding Prince, and this jade pendant is hers," Chu Baihan responded directly.

"What? How can this be?"

Su Jingfu was also confused.

Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, and his expression gradually became tense.

Could it be...

"Lord Su, have you remembered something?" Chu Baihan asked solemnly.

As the eldest princess of Nanduan Kingdom, having a child out of wedlock was not a matter of pride, so this had been handled discreetly.

Su Jingfu was greatly trusted by his father and elder brother, so he had managed the aftermath for her.

Su Jingfu sighed deeply and quickly said, "When the Little Princess Consort was born, she was born breathless, and the Imperial Physician said that she could not be saved. Thus, the emperor thought to bury her. But suddenly, an old monk arrived..."

"An old monk came?" Chu Baihan frowned.

"Yes, an old monk with an impressive appearance and high martial arts skills. He revealed your hardships of nearly twenty years, and he also said the Little Princess Consort could still be saved. He insisted on taking her with him and asked the emperor not to tell you about this affair until the time was right..."

"The emperor had no other choice but to gamble on it and handed the child over to him. In order not to keep you worrying about this matter, he lied that the child had died at birth."

Su Jingfu replied with a complex tone.

Originally, he too should have remained tight-lipped.

But now that the princess had found the Jade Pendant, he could no longer keep it from her.

Chu Baihan’s head buzzed, and she hardly heard what was said afterward.

The only thing she heard clearly was that "the Little Princess Consort could still be saved."

So, was her daughter truly still alive?

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

After a long while, she could no longer hold back her tears and started crying.

"My child, she’s still alive, she’s still alive..."

"Mother." Seeing her crying, Little Tuanzi’s eyes also reddened.

"Xixi, your sister is truly still alive." Chu Baihan hugged Chu Junxi urgently and said.

Chu Junxi nodded, he sniffled and then earnestly said, "We are a complete family, how wonderful."

Su Jingfu looked at Wuji, querying him with his eyes.

If the Little Princess Consort was still alive, how did she end up at Prince Residence?

Wuji shook his head, he did not know either.

Chu Baihan’s gaze gradually regained its calm, and she said coldly, "No matter what, she is my child, and I will bring her back!"

"Mother, sister has arranged to meet me at Jiao Lake tomorrow night at 7-9 PM," Little Tuanzi hurriedly brought up the matter.

Chu Baihan’s heart settled somewhat, she looked tenderly at Little Tuanzi, and then said, "Good, tomorrow night, we will go see her together."

...

The next evening.

Yan Jingjing sneaked out from the back yard of the Prince Residence and ran all the way to Jiao Lake.

Although she knew it was dangerous to go out alone, she desperately wanted to see her mother, and nobody could stop her.

When she arrived at Jiao Lake, the moonlight scattered across the water, making it sparkle brilliantly.

There were also willows gracefully lining the lake.

All these scenes were extremely beautiful.

She also saw a woman holding a child by the hand, standing under the willows.

For some reason, she suddenly felt timid and dared not approach any further.

She did not know if her previous behavior would make her mother dislike her?

Standing foolishly there for a long time, she suddenly saw...

Her mother walking towards her.

She was nervous; Chu Baihan was equally so.

As she approached Yan Jingjing step by step, Chu Baihan’s heart quivered.

"Jingjing?" Chu Baihan called out softly.

Yan Jingjing could no longer hold back; she rushed into Chu Baihan’s arms, sobbing, "Mother."
