My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 175 The Emperor Arrives

Chapter 175: Chapter 175 The Emperor Arrives

"No wrong goes unpunished. Yan Xiao, it’s not too late to stop now."

Chu Baihan dodged his attack, then spoke with icy detachment.

"Stop? I have not lost yet, how could I possibly lose?"

As if provoked, Yan Xiao was shrouded in a murderous aura, his blows growing ever more vicious.

But Chu Baihan was no ordinary opponent.

The more agitated he became, the more flaws he exposed.

Soon, she had inflicted several new wounds upon his body.

"I truly do not understand, you are already the Crown Prince, what is there to be dissatisfied with? Why not wait a little longer? This throne will be yours sooner or later, why must you go to such lengths, taking such grave risks?"

As she lashed out with her spear, Chu Baihan asked directly out of her own puzzlement.

Hearing her question, Yan Xiao began to laugh uproariously, his laughter laced with sarcasm.

"Do you really think that father, the Emperor, would pass the throne to me? Hahaha, you’re all too naive..."

"In this world, no one is more attached to power than he is, no one!"

"My desire to ascend to the throne is merely to protect my own life and my mother’s, what wrong have I done?"

Yan Xiao’s voice grew increasingly furious.

Yet the more Chu Baihan listened, the more confused she became.

What was he driving at?

He wanted to seize power and usurp the throne just to save his own life?

"You are the Crown Prince of Yan Country, second to none but the Emperor—a position envied by thousands. Who would take your life? Do not make excuses for your vile actions," Chu Baihan rebuked in a frosty tone.

With a "clang," the sword Yan Xiao powered with his Inner Strength sent a painful reverberation through Chu Baihan’s arm.

"Second to none but the Emperor? Unfortunately, the one who seeks my life is that very person. Hahahaha..."

In his rage, Yan Xiao couldn’t help blurting out the thoughts in his heart.

What?

At his words, Chu Baihan hesitated in her dodges and nearly got injured.

Yan Chen and Yan Lian were also shocked as they looked this way.

Is the Crown Prince implying that the Emperor wants to take his life?

Although the Emperor was a suspicious man who often distrusted his princes, he would not take a prince’s life without cause.

"Crown Prince, do not slander the Emperor," Yan Chen scolded angrily.

"Fool." Hearing Yan Chen’s words, Yan Xiao sneered dismissively.

Just then, the sky actually cracked open.

Could it be...

Chu Baihan quickly turned her head to look towards Yan Lin, and saw that he had already rescued Xixi, and his spear was thrust into the Array Eye.

Soon, the scenery around them slowly faded and returned to its original form.

Only then did everyone realize that the surrounding area was teeming with life.

The trees had not withered due to lack of water.

The lake not far away was still shimmering.

The sound of "drip-drop, drip-drop" began...

Everyone hesitated, then looked up to find the sky gray and overcast, rain falling.

It wasn’t a divine rain, but real rain.

This season in Jiangnan often saw such light rain.

Misty and hazy, the sky blurred.

This was the real Jiangnan.

"The original Jiangnan has returned, the original Jiangnan has come back..."

The common people clung together, weeping tears of joy.

"The Princess was right, what we saw before was fake! We have all been deceived, living life like walking corpses!"

"So, we were deceived by the Crown Prince and Prince Qin Rong?"

"..."

The commoners gradually came to their senses, their suspicious gazes shifting towards Yan Xiao and Qin Rong.

"Older brother, did you truly set up a Formation in Jiangnan?"

Fen Chunjing was late in realizing, she looked up, incredulously at Qin Rong.

Upon hearing the questioning, Qin Rong coldly huffed.

He directly asked Yan Xiao, "Crown Prince, how should we deal with these fools?"

"You actually broke through my Array?" Yan Xiao did not immediately answer Qin Rong, he slowly looked up, his somber gaze fixating on Yan Lin.

Yan Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and coldly spoke, "The Yan Family’s ancestors created so many powerful Formations, not for their descendants to harm others with them, but to protect and defend the nation. Crown Prince, this time you’ve gone too far."

"Too far? Hahaha, you actually say I’ve gone too far. Six years ago, I made you blind, and you didn’t say I went too far, and now, you actually say I’ve gone too far?"

Yan Xiao, as if he heard a hilarious joke, burst into contemptuous laughter.

Chu Baihan hurried to Yan Lin’s side.

She grabbed his arm, her voice filled with concern, "Are you hurt?"

"It’s just a minor injury."

Even though his insides hurt intensely, Yan Lin still voiced reassurance to Chu Baihan.

"Since you all know my secret, you surely cannot leave Jiangnan alive..."

A twisted madness flickered in Yan Xiao’s eyes.

"Yan Xiao, have you gone mad? If you come to your senses now, we are still willing to plead for you before our Father Emperor. If you continue to be delusional, then we will not be able to spare you!"

Yan Chen angrily spoke out.

"What right do you have to question me?" Glancing back at Yan Chen, Yan Xiao sneered once more.

"If he doesn’t have the right to question you, then do I have the right to question you?"

Just at that moment, the sound of horse hooves and soldiers approached from afar.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Emperor Yan Tian arriving with many troops.

"Father Emperor?" Yan Lian was the first to cry out in shock.

Wasn’t Father Emperor supposed to be in the capital city at this time? Why was he here?

"Father Emperor, so you did follow me to Jiangnan. I just said, how could it be so easy for me to leave the capital city. Turns out, you acquiesced," Yan Xiao muttered, bowing his head.

What does he mean?

The Emperor was following him to Jiangnan?

So, the Emperor has been in Jiangnan all along?

Both Chu Baihan and Yan Lin felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

What exactly was the Emperor’s (Father Emperor’s) intention!

"Rebel, as the Crown Prince of Yan Country, not only do you not think of the people, but you also want to turn Jiangnan into your own territory, this is utterly outrageous. Guards, take this rebel away for me!" Emperor Yan Tian ordered furiously.

"Crown Prince? Father Emperor doesn’t think about why I became the Crown Prince?" Yan Xiao suddenly retorted.

"Emperor, the Crown Prince becoming what he is today, it’s all because you forced him," Qin Rong spoke up beside Yan Xiao, his tone harsh.

"Qin Rong, the Crown Prince is confused, are you confused as well?" Emperor Yan Tian continued to berate.

"I am not confused. The Crown Prince turned out this way because of you, Emperor. And about Prince Lin becoming disabled, you also played a significant role," Qin Rong continued speaking.

What?

My accident involved Father Emperor?

Yan Lin’s complexion changed as well.

"Prince Qin, what exactly happened? Explain clearly to me!" Clenching his fists, Yan Lin spoke to Qin Rong in a cold voice.

But Emperor Yan Tian seemed to grow impatient, and he ordered his trusted aides again, "Guards, arrest both Prince Qin and the Crown Prince for me."

"Father Emperor, I’ve already ordered people to buy gunpowder and spread it around this area. It could explode at any moment," Yan Xiao said calmly, lifting his head with a light chuckle.
