Chapter 143: Chapter 143 The Medicine Has a Problem

"Ah!!!"

The man’s scream almost startled the birds out of the forest.

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk."

He couldn’t bear it any longer.

"Who is it?"

"It’s the Crown Prince. He ordered me to stay here and make sure Princess of Nanduan Kingdom suffers. As long as she isn’t killed, I could do whatever I wanted,"

he said, his body shivering as he spoke.

Yan Xiao?

Hearing the response, Yan Lin’s eyes flared with a towering killing intent.

Chu Baihan’s expression also turned very cold.

If it was Yan Xiao, it wouldn’t be surprising.

Yan Xiao was once outsmarted by her and surely wouldn’t rest until his end.

Yan Lin glared at the man in black, wanting to get information about the Miao Border Poisonous Insect.

But suddenly, the man in black’s eyes bulged out.

"Back off!"

Seeing this, Chu Baihan sharply commanded.

Despite her own physical pain, she quickly pulled Yan Lin back.

At the same time, the man in black’s body exploded, and countless Poisonous Insects crawled out.

This person actually used his own body as a container for breeding insects!

"Indeed, a ruthless character," Chu Baihan scoffed coldly.

Yan Xiao was really capable of finding such persons to die for him.

Seeing Yan Lin’s very serious demeanor, she spoke softly, "There is no need to bother about these insects; they won’t survive long without their vessel."

"I am not thinking about that. I am considering what other vile tricks Yan Xiao might yet employ," Yan Lin said coldly.

"If the Prince is scared, it would be better to go back now. I can go to Jiangnan alone,"

Chu Baihan frowned slightly, looking down to smooth the wrinkles on her sleeve, then spoke softly.

Each word edged Yan Lin out.

Hearing her words, Yan Lin felt extremely helpless.

He turned around, his voice hoarse, "Since this Prince said I would follow you, I will not give up. Besides, do you think Yan Xiao is only trying to get revenge on you? No, he’s trying to stop anyone who goes to Jiangnan."

What did he mean by that?

Chu Baihan furrowed her brow, looking up at him with a puzzled expression.

Yan Lin sighed, then continued, "Jiangnan is so prosperous, do you think Yan Xiao would not covet it?"

Chu Baihan instantly understood.

Starting with the affair of Chu Hesheng and Liu Cheng, she knew Yan Xiao was an extremely greedy man.

So over the years, he must have never let go of Jiangnan.

Jiangnan, far from the Emperor’s reach, usually had nothing going on.

But now that it was facing a disaster, and she and Prince Chen were going there from the capital city, it was likely they would discover some secrets...

That would make Yan Xiao anxious.

"So to say, his voluntary offer in the Imperial Study to go to Jiangnan for disaster relief was not merely to accrue merit or make me feel disgusted," Chu Baihan said angrily.

"I apologize, I should not have involved you in such vile struggles of the Yan Country Imperial Family," Yan Lin said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Chu Baihan slightly knitted her brows.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she muttered, "I apologize for speaking to you like that before..."

"No matter, to make amends, just allow this Prince to stay by your side,"

a certain Prince Lin responded very calmly.

Chu Baihan: "..."

"Since we are already here, let’s look for Tang Yu," she said uneasily, diverting the conversation.

Their previous situation had been so perilous that she was unsure of Tang Yu’s condition.

"This Prince will accompany you,"

Yan Lin said without any complaints, following by her side.

Chu Baihan walked briskly around the forest, searching for a place with water; perhaps in this way, they might find Tang Yu.

Yan Lin glanced at her anxious manner, his eyes reflecting a complex mix of emotions.

He couldn’t resist asking, "Back in the National Treasury, you said you needed the Snow Ganoderma to save someone very important to you. Is that person Tang Yu...or Tang Yu’s master?"

Hearing his words, Chu Baihan stopped in her tracks.

She pursed her lips, feeling odd inside.

How could Yan Lin think she needed Snow Ganoderma to save someone from the Tang Sect?

However, she couldn’t reveal to him that the Snow Ganoderma was meant to be a remedy for Jinjin.

So she faintly said, "Prince, this is not something you should be curious about."

Her refusal to answer made Yan Lin’s heart sink even further.

Had he guessed correctly?

Before he could speak again, Chu Baihan had already spotted the approaching figure.

"Tang Yu!"

She called out loudly.

The person on the other side heard her voice and quickly ran over.

"Princess, why are you here? Are you alright?" Tang Yu asked anxiously.

"I’m unharmed. You..."

It was only then that Chu Baihan noticed the wounds on the arms of Tang Yu and his companions.

"We were just collecting water when a giant python suddenly appeared, but thankfully we managed to fend it off together," Tang Yu hastily replied.

It was the python again.

Chu Baihan’s expression turned icy.

Fortunately, Tang Yu was unharmed; otherwise, she would have returned and reduced that black-clothed person to ashes.

"Princess, did you encounter any danger?" Tang Yu continued to ask worriedly.

"We also encountered a group of snakes, but the danger has been eliminated now, rest assured," Chu Baihan said in a calm voice.

Worrying that the little ones might still be in danger, Chu Baihan couldn’t afford to ask Tang Yu too many questions.

She quickly said, "Let’s head back."

"Alright, Princess."

As Chu Baihan turned to leave, Yan Lin very consciously wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What are you doing?" Chu Baihan turned her head and asked him in a muffled voice.

Tang Yu and the others glared fiercely, wishing they could pull Yan Lin’s hand away.

However, Yan Lin remained composed.

"Walking back is too slow, Qinggong is faster. But since you are injured, it’s best if I assist you."

Having said that, he carried Chu Baihan and flew back.

Chu Baihan frowned, feeling frustrated, but she knew he was right, so she had to endure it temporarily.

Although Tang Yu was anxious, his Qinggong skills did not match those of Yan Lin, so he had no opportunity to intervene and had to follow as fast as he could.

When they returned to where the carriages were parked, the area was peaceful with no signs of danger, allowing Chu Baihan’s heart to finally settle.

But they didn’t dare linger in this place for long.

Everyone gathered their belongings; despite the difficult mountain path, they had to set off.

They walked another four hours on the night road.

Only then did they find a cave to rest in.

At that time, Nan Xing brought each person a bowl of calming soup medicine to take.

Most people, including Yan Lian, drank it without any hesitation.

After receiving the medicine, Yan Lin noticed from the corner of his eye that the soup Nan Xing handed to him was apparently different from the one given to Tang Yu and the others.

Calming soup medicine, could there be a difference?

Moreover, it seemed... he wasn’t frightened at all.

Suppressing his emotions, he pretended to drink the medicine but actually poured it all away.

On the other side, when Nan Xing saw their bowls were empty, her heart finally settled a bit.

Hopefully, the Princess’s secret would remain safe.

As daylight arrived, everyone woke up ready to continue on their journey.

Yan Lian woke up resting on Yan Lin’s shoulder; he wiped his mouth corner, relieved to find no drool, then he heaved a sigh of relief.

While rubbing his eyes, he remarked to Yan Lin sentimentally, "Eighth Brother, last night’s snake killing was perilous; it exhausted me completely."

"You didn’t lift a finger last night, how could you be tired?" Yan Lin spoke emotionlessly.

"Who said I didn’t do anything? Last night I killed quite a few snakes, otherwise why would they have run off?"

Yan Lian spoke with conviction.

Hearing this, Yan Lin’s gaze grew deep.

"Do you remember that your flute was taken away by Eighth Sister-in-law last night?" Yan Lin spoke in a strange tone.

"Ah? My flute was taken by Eighth Sister-in-law? No way, it has always been with me!"

Yan Lian, frustrated, grabbed his hair and spoke.

A glint of dark light flashed through Yan Lin’s dark pupils.

Last night’s medicine had a problem!
