Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Yan Lin Wants to Go to Jiangnan With Her

"Princess, it is we who arrived late and startled you," Tang Yu continued to apologize.

"It doesn’t matter; let’s first interrogate them to find out who instructed them," Chu Baihan quickly walked over there.

Ying Niang’s body had already turned into mincemeat; the rest of the men in black were almost all dead, only a few left controlled by Tang Yu’s men.

"Hold their chins," Chu Baihan quickly ordered.

But it was already too late; the remaining men in black all swallowed poison and committed suicide.

Seeing this scene, Chu Baihan’s complexion became extremely solemn, for it meant that her leads had been severed.

"Princess, do not worry. If Shashi dares to plot against you, we will definitely annihilate their den, and then force out the mastermind behind them," Tang Yu said gravely.

The people who dare to provoke the Tang Sect, Shashi really thinks they have lived too long.

Chu Baihan slightly furrowed her brow, then sternly said, "Just investigate secretly for now; we can’t make too much noise about this yet."

She had come to Yan Country, and both her Emperor father and the Crown Prince were already worried about her.

If this news reached their ears, her father would probably have sleepless nights again.

"Yes, Princess," Tang Yu quickly nodded.

Her words only needed to be spoken halfway, and he would understand.

Seeing the understanding between Chu Baihan and the people of the Tang Sect, a certain Prince’s heart was filled with all sorts of discomfort.

Back then, she had left so easily and even vanished without a trace later; could it have been with the help of the Tang Sect?

"Ziyi, go find out who exactly knew about the Princess’s travel tonight," Yan Lin also wouldn’t show weakness as he began to give orders to Ziyi.

All the people in the capital city thought that Chu Baihan had left only at dawn, including him.

Yet she had set off in the dead of night, known only to the Emperor and the Crown Prince; he too had hurried back only to learn of this.

Thus, if anyone else knew, this person might very likely be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Hearing this voice, Chu Baihan slowly turned her head, only then remembering that a certain Prince Yan Lin was here.

She slightly furrowed her brow, her expression suddenly becoming very tense.

She glanced at Tang Yu out of the corner of her eye, hinting for him to leave.

After all, for so many years, the relationship between the Tang Sect, the court, and Yan Lin had been one of fire and water.

Noticing Chu Baihan’s subtle movement, Yan Lin’s expression turned helpless as he said in a deep voice, "I’m not today discovering your connection with the Tang Sect; you don’t need to hide it."

Chu Baihan: "..."

"Then, will you..."

Her meaning was to ask whether Yan Lin would make a move against Tang Yu.

"I’m here to find you and Jingjing, not to arrest anyone; you need not be tense," Yan Lin continued in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan’s heart then settled slightly.

"Ahem, Tang Yu, he is..." Chu Baihan turned her head to Tang Yu, wanting to introduce Yan Lin.

But Tang Yu quickly spoke, "Princess, there’s no need for introductions, I know; this is our Yan Country’s Eighth Prince, right? Our master often mentions him to me."

What?

Tang Luochen had actually mentioned Yan Lin to Tang Yu?

Chu Baihan frowned, her expression quite awkward.

And Tang Yu was looking up confidently at Yan Lin.

"Met Prince Yan Lin. Prince Yan Lin need not be nervous; our master usually doesn’t speak ill of you. He always praises you, saying you are highly skilled in martial arts, immensely talented, and deeply strategic. It’s just that... you were slightly unfaithful," Tang Yu said with a forced smile, curling the corners of his mouth.

In the corner, Yan Lian’s heart trembled listening to that last bit.

This teenage boy, where did he get the courage to dare to mock the eighth Prince like that!

Stealing a glance at his royal brother using the corner of his eye, indeed, his face had darkened.

"Princess, if I speak about Prince Yan Lin like this, he won’t get angry, will he?" Tang Yu even turned his head and asked Chu Baihan in a contrived manner.

Chu Baihan looked quite awkward.

She had realized that Tang Yu did not like Yan Lin, and it was a rather intense dislike.

Because normally, Tang Yu was very proper and would never act so sarcastically like today.

However, she also knew that Tang Yu was venting for her.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to maintain the situation.

But Yan Lin spoke before she could: "It’s fine, mere child’s words, how could I mind."

"Cough," Chu Baihan coughed lightly and then continued, "Tang Yu, my disciple Xixi is still at the inn. Let’s head back first."

Her disciple Xixi?

Tang Yu, being a clever person, instantly understood something, and he quickly nodded, "Princess, let’s go to the inn first. We can leave the aftermath to Tang Zeng and the others."

The young man behind him, who was of a similar age, also respectfully spoke, "Indeed, Princess, leave the aftermath to us."

Chu Baihan nodded, wanting to return to the inn with Tang Yu.

But at that moment, Yan Lin came to her side and said indifferently, "This Prince will go with you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan stopped in her tracks, and she spoke seriously, "Prince Yan Lin, you better calm down and return to the capital promptly. While the Emperor still hasn’t discovered your absence from the capital, everything can still be salvaged."

"I have made up my mind, I want to go to Jiangnan with you," Yan Lin replied seriously.

"No!" Chu Baihan refused without even thinking.

If he were to follow her, the purpose of her journey to Jiangnan might be exposed.

But her quick refusal, seen through Yan Lin’s eyes, took on a different meaning.

He began to suspect that her resistance to his accompanying her might be because of the Tang Sect’s people.

"If you refuse me, then please return Jingjing to me," suppressing the desolation in his heart, Yan Lin said softly.

Hearing his words, Chu Baihan’s heart sank slightly.

She didn’t want him to follow, but if she had to return Jingjing, she wouldn’t bear to do so either.

"I am Jingjing’s nominal father, after all. If you just take her away, of course, I will intervene," he continued assertively.

Jingjing? Nominal father?

What was actually going on? Tang Yu listened with a baffled expression.

Chu Baihan took a deep breath, still wanting to persuade Yan Lin.

But Yan Lin had already moved ahead of her and walked directly towards the direction of the inn.

Ziyi also conscientiously ordered, "Everyone, prepare the provisions, we depart for Jiangnan at dawn."

His attitude already represented Yan Lin’s stance.

They were determined to go to Jiangnan with her.

Chu Baihan felt a headache coming on, worried about the two little ones, she could only hurry to catch up.

Tang Yu followed by her side, and she lowered her voice to tell him, "Back then, I had two children in my belly. The daughter had no breath when born, but I only discovered now that someone had saved her later. She was even brought up in Prince Yan Lin’s residence, Yan Lin being her nominal father, her name is Yan Jingjing. Yan Lin doesn’t know her real identity."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu quickly nodded, "I understand, I will help keep your secret, Princess."
