My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 180: Imperial Brother Nan Li

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Imperial Brother Nan Li

Eastern Palace.

"Princess, why have you come?"

The one guarding the door was Crown Prince Nan Li’s trusted aide, Feng Han, who was delighted to see her arrive.

"Feng Han..."

Seeing him, Chu Baihan softly called his name.

Having not seen him for so long, she suddenly felt as if ages had passed.

"Princess? What’s wrong with you?" noticing something amiss, Feng Han asked worriedly.

"It’s nothing. How is my elder brother doing?" Pushing down her emotions, Chu Baihan quickly asked.

Upon hearing her words, Feng Han’s expression immediately darkened.

"The Crown Prince’s health has been declining day by day. Last night he caught a chill, and today he is unwell, so he did not attend the morning court. The Imperial Physician is currently taking his pulse."

He spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, Chu Baihan’s heart sank.

She hurriedly stepped over the threshold and strode into the Eastern Palace.

Upon entering Nan Li’s room, she was met with a strong medicinal odor.

This scent was extremely pungent.

The medicines used for Nan Li’s body were extremely potent, necessary to sustain his life.

She quickly walked around the screen.

"Princess."

Four Imperial Physicians were kneeling there; upon seeing her, they hurriedly bowed in respect.

"There’s no need for formalities, how is my elder brother?" Chu Baihan asked urgently.

"Xiaobai, the Crown Prince is alright... cough cough..."

Suddenly, a barrage of heavy coughs came from the bed.

Chu Baihan looked over and saw a man on the bed, dressed in a plain long robe, his figure emaciated.

He was handsome, but the shock of white hair on his head was startling.

The Crown Prince had been born with white hair, and everyone said he was a demon, but only the Emperor and Empress were determined to keep him.

"Elder brother."

Chu Baihan quickly knelt by the bed, holding his hand tightly.

"I’m sorry, elder brother, I’m so sorry..."

She had been away in Yan Country for so long for Xixi’s health, without ever considering that his current physical condition truly could not be without her.

Chu Baihan tried to take Nan Li’s pulse, but when she raised her hand, she found her fingers were trembling uncontrollably, and she could not take it at all.

At that moment, she truly hated herself.

Why was she so powerless at such a critical time?

All she could do was turn back and anxiously ask the Imperial Physicians.

"Tell me, what’s wrong with my elder brother!"

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince he..." The Imperial Physician showed a troubled expression and struggled to articulate a complete sentence.

The truth, they dared not say.

"Alright, Xiaobai, it’s just the old ailments flaring up, don’t trouble them anymore. You all may leave," Nan Li slowly said.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Upon receiving Nan Li’s order, the Imperial Physicians hurriedly retreated, as if a great weight had been lifted from them.

"Elder brother."

Chu Baihan held Nan Li’s hand.

His hand was truly very cold, devoid of any warmth.

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry..." she kept shaking her head.

She had promised to take good care of her elder brother, yet she had not returned for so long.

She even became greedy, wanting to stay by Yan Lin’s side.

"Xiaobai, don’t apologize. Our mother in heaven wouldn’t want to see us like this,"

Nan Li raised his hand, gently wiping the tear stains on her face.

"No, I shouldn’t have neglected you. I was wrong, elder brother, I hope you get well soon ..."

Chu Baihan’s tears grew more abundant.

Both the elder brother and Jinjin had issues from the womb.

Jinjin was because of that abortion pill.

And elder brother...

She had seen in her master’s notes that elder brother’s condition was congenital, a fatal disease even in a world, thousands of years later, where medical skills blossomed.

"No, perhaps Snow Ganoderma might help. That’s right, I will go find Snow Ganoderma for you, it definitely will make you normal."

Chu Baihan suddenly remembered this, she spoke firmly to Nan Li, then started to run out.

"It’s useless. Xiaobai, the Snow Ganoderma you worked so hard to find should just be consumed by Xixi. Seeing Xixi get healthy is already very comforting to me," Nan Li revealed a gentle smile.

Chu Baihan felt that he was the gentlest person she had ever met.

When he smiled, it was like the fierce sun in winter, able to melt the frost at any moment.

But why did God treat such a wonderful person like this?

"Wait, elder brother, you just mentioned the antidote I worked so hard to find? Why...why didn’t you say it was a dream?"

Chu Baihan looked at him in shock.

The Emperor, Xixi, Imperial Physician Xiao, and Ruolan, they all told her it was a dream.

But what elder brother said just now...

Upon hearing her words, Nan Li revealed a helpless smile.

"Did the Emperor and the others say that everything you experienced in Yan Country was a dream?" he asked softly.

"Yes."

"In order not to hurt you, father actually used this method," Nan Li sighed deeply.

He continued helplessly, "It wasn’t a dream, everything you experienced in Yan Country was real. Snow Ganoderma was indeed brought back by you. The other half of the Snow Ganoderma was on Prince Rong’s body, which Tang Yu took, and then it was given to Xixi."

"So, it was real."

Upon hearing Nan Li’s words, Chu Baihan murmured softly.

But her heart was not happy at all.

If everything she experienced was real, then ...

"How is Yan Lin? How is my Jingjing and how is Jiangnan?" she choked out.

"My niece whom I’ve never met is doing well; she has already been sent back to the capital city of Yan Country. As for Jiangnan, it is like hell on earth. But their Emperor is already trying to make amends," Nan Li patiently explained.

"Their Emperor? Yan Tian is still not dead?" Chu Baihan spoke angrily.

So many people in Jiangnan died, but the main culprit is unharmed!

"Yes, it is said that at the time of the incident, his trusted aides protected him with their lives, and hence he survived. However, Prince Rong and Yan Xiao were not so lucky; they were reduced to ashes. Yan Chen was also injured in the leg. Yan Country suffered great damage this time."

"And what about Yan Lin?"

Chu Baihan’s breathing changed again and again, and eventually, she couldn’t resist asking about Yan Lin’s situation.

"Father didn’t lie to you about one thing, we indeed gave Yan Country the National Treasure. That piece of driftwood in our National Treasury is extremely effective in treating burns. Back then, the Emperor took half the driftwood to save you. Now, the other half was given to Yan Lin," Nan Li replied slowly.

Seeing Chu Baihan in despair, he said helplessly, "Your hand was injured in Jiangnan. You were unharmed by the fire because Yan Lin protected you with his body. The Emperor was willing to give Yan Country the driftwood because he didn’t want you to carry the guilt."

"Tell me about Yan Lin’s current condition."

Chu Baihan covered her mouth, not letting herself cry out loud, and after a long time, she hoarsely asked Nan Li this question.

"He was severely burned, hanging by a thread. The driftwood saved his life, but he...he doesn’t remember anything,"

Nan Li added with a bitter smile, "Now you know why the Emperor ordered everyone to act and lie to you, saying you had only been dreaming?"
