Chapter 132: Chapter 132 My Father Died

"Tianye? What is Tianye? I don’t know what you’re talking about,"

After a moment of tension, a certain Little Tuanzi quickly regained composure, tilted his head, and asked innocently.

Seeing his composed demeanor, Yan Lin’s eyes flashed with a mysterious glint once again.

Indeed a clever little fellow.

"Don’t play dumb with me. Do I need to tell your ’master’ about your intrusion into the National Treasury?" Yan Lin continued in a stern voice.

Go ahead and tell. His "master" is his mother anyway, who knows everything.

A certain Little Tuanzi arrogantly muttered to himself.

But he was also clear that if he continued to act nonchalant, Yan Lin would definitely suspect his mother.

After hesitating for a moment, he immediately put on a nervous expression.

"I went there secretly; I wanted to help my ’master.’ She might get angry if she knows about this. Can you keep it a secret for me? But I really don’t know what Tianye means. When I went to the National Treasury that night, I ran into several men in black, they also wanted to explore the Treasury. I found that our paths converged, so I took the initiative to follow them..."

Chu Junxi twirled his fingers while speaking, with a look of utter confusion, appearing completely innocent.

Yan Lin slightly narrowed his eyes.

Clearly, he did not believe Little Tuanzi’s words.

However, he also knew this little one’s temperament was very much like Chu Baihan’s.

If pushed too hard, it might backfire.

So, he spoke in a calm voice, "Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of petty person who tattles."

"Hmph, you are a petty person!" Chu Junxi pouted and snorted disdainfully.

"What did you say?" Yan Lin, with his sharp hearing, immediately caught his words, and his tone became dangerous.

Little Tuanzi turned his face away and said calmly, "I didn’t say anything. You’re getting older and must have heard wrong."

Yan Lin: "..."

Yan Lian and Ziyi who were not far away: "..."

How did the eighth brother’s (Prince’s) temper become so good? This little one is asking for a spanking, yet he’s actually holding back.

"And your father? I just now inquired only about your mother and haven’t asked about your father."

Yan Lin gazed at him and continued asking.

A certain Little Tuanzi clearly was ruffled, but he still had to act patiently.

He spoke slowly, "Dead."

"Dead?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lin slightly furrowed his brow, his expression turned grave.

He furrowed his brow, his tone also softened slightly, "Why did he die so young..."

"Because he was of bad character, so someone killed him," said Little Tuanzi, expressionless.

Yan Lin: "..."

His gaze became even more solemn.

He said softly, "I’m sorry for bringing up your sorrow."

"Don’t be sorry. After all, my mother is liked by many people, and many wish to marry her. It’s just as well that my father is dead!" Little Tuanzi crossed his arms and huffed coldly.

Seeing his demeanor, Yan Lin became momentarily distracted.

This little one’s mother must be an extraordinary woman, just like his own Princess Consort.

But at this thought, Yan Lin became grave.

Little Tuanzi’s mother had just lost her husband, and already, so many covet her.

His Princess Consort, while in Nanduan Kingdom, had been unmarried... Could it be...

Chu Junxi glanced up and caught his gaze, guessing his thoughts.

With a haughty snort, he said, "My master is also very popular. When she was in the Nanduan Kingdom, many outstanding big brothers wanted to marry her."

His words made a certain Prince Yan Lin feel extremely gloomy inside.

"The big brother before you is also very outstanding," he said seriously.

Chu Little Tuanzi disdainfully rubbed his nose, directly showing his attitude through his actions.

Yet, seeing him like this, Yan Lin surprisingly didn’t get angry.

"Your master must be crazy, otherwise how could his temper have become so good," Yan Lian commented from the side, elbowing Ziyi’s arm and making a snarky remark.

Ziyi had a helpless look on his face; he wanted to say something but remembering he shouldn’t speak ill of his master, he had to close his mouth again.

Inside the room.

Chu Baihan was carefully performing acupuncture on the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Grandmother, if you feel pain, please tell me and I will be gentler," she said with a gentle voice.

The Empress Dowager laughed upon hearing that: "With that little strength, I hardly feel pain. You have no idea, when those Imperial Physicians in the palace did acupuncture on me, that was truly painful..."

As she spoke, she also gestured vividly, showing none of the Empress Dowager’s usual poise.

Seeing her like this, Chu Baihan’s eyes turned slightly red.

She choked up, "Empress Grandmother, you have suffered."

Hearing her tremble, the Empress Dowager quickly reached out seeking her and finally touched her head, then comforted her by stroking it.

"You child, what suffering could I endure? I have lived to this age and have enjoyed many fortunes," she said.

Chu Baihan took a deep breath and chose not to linger on this distressing topic.

"Han girl, can you truly not go to Jiangnan with Linlin?" The Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment before asking with concern.

"Empress Grandmother, I can take care of myself. Besides, the Prince has his own matters to attend to here in the capital," Chu Baihan persuaded patiently.

Knowing that she couldn’t convince Chu Baihan, the Empress Dowager gave up.

Under Chu Baihan’s acupuncture, the Empress Dowager gradually fell asleep.

After bustling around for four hours, Chu Baihan finally finished the acupuncture session.

She opened the door to find that Yan Lin and nanny Xiao were both waiting outside.

She glanced at Yan Lin then averted her gaze, walking over to nanny Xiao, she said patiently, "The acupuncture is done. What follows is drinking the medicine and recuperating, I will give nanny Xiao the prescription later, make sure you give the Empress Grandmother her medicine on time, she will soon be able to see things more clearly."

"Good, good, I understand," nanny Xiao replied, her eyes red as she nodded tremblingly.

Chu Baihan swept her eyes around and noticed that Xixi was not there; she let out a slight sigh of relief.

"The Empress Grandmother has fallen asleep inside, you should go in and check on her," she said softly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lin entered the room with nanny Xiao to see the Empress Dowager.

Chu Baihan took this opportunity to go find Nan Xing and the others.

"Princess," Ruolan quickly got up and curtsied on seeing Chu Baihan walk in.

Nan Xing was originally lying on the bed and also wanted to get up and curtsy.

But Chu Baihan quickly said, "No need for formalities."

"Nan Xing, how are you feeling?" Chu Baihan approached the bed and asked with concern.

Nan Xing took a deep breath, her eyes still red, but her emotional state had stabilized.

She hurriedly answered, "Princess, I’m alright now. I just regret that I wasn’t conscious at the time; otherwise, I would have made sure Yan Jin paid a price," she said through clenched teeth.

A chill flashed in Chu Baihan’s eyes.

She turned to Ruolan and ordered, "Leave a few people behind in the capital, wait for the right moment to act. We must make Yan Jin pay the price."

"Yes, Princess!" Ruolan’s eyes brightened and she nodded quickly.

Her relationship with Nan Xing was like that of sisters, and seeing Nan Xing so humiliated naturally angered her.

Yan Jin, must not be let off!
