Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Don’t Let Her Know I’m Hurt

It’s fine, he is here to help them.

With this thought, Chu Baihan said very calmly, "The Princess Residence is so big, you can choose any courtyard you like to live in and talk directly to Ruolan about it."

"Then I will thank the Princess for her invitation," he said.

Tang Ze leaned forward, peering at Chu Baihan, his dark eyes like a mirror, reflecting her image in them.

Sensing his approach, Chu Baihan’s body stiffened, and her breathing became unnatural.

Was it her imagination?

Why did Tang Ze seem different from before?

"Let’s go," she said.

Chu Baihan hid her awkward emotions and quickly walked away from Tang Ze.

...

Princess Residence.

"Mother."

Little Tuanzi ran out of the house as soon as he saw her return.

"Xixi," Chu Baihan quickly patted down her clothes to reduce the smell of rouge and face powder she was covered in, then she reached out to embrace Little Tuanzi.

"Mother, did you go out to do something big again?"

Little Tuanzi noticed Chu Baihan dressed as a man, his eyes sparkling.

Seeing him like this, Chu Baihan felt a bit helpless and quickly said, "This time it’s different, so Mother didn’t take you with her."

In the past, whenever she had business to take care of, she would always bring Xixi with her.

He was intelligent and could help her a lot.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, Mother, you don’t have to explain so much, I understand," Little Baozi patted his chest and nodded earnestly.

"Eh? Pavilion Master Tang? How come you are here?"

Little Tuanzi turned his head and saw Tang Ze, his eyes brightening.

"He will be living in the Princess Residence from now on," Chu Baihan explained.

"That’s great."

Little Tuanzi’s expression grew even more excited.

He looked at Tang Ze with an admiration that knew no bounds.

After all, aside from his mother, Tang Ze was the second man he admired.

The king was the third.

Thinking of the king...

The smile on Little Tuanzi’s face that was there just a moment ago suddenly turned to forlornness.

"Mother, guess who came?" Suddenly remembering something else, Little Tuanzi quickly asked Chu Baihan.

Seeing him grinning from ear to ear, Chu Baihan grew intensely curious.

Who could it be that made him so happy to come here?

Just at that moment, she heard a familiar voice—

"Mother, Royal Mother."

Her body stiffened, her heart trembling.

Slowly, she raised her head and saw the figure standing at the doorway.

Soon, her eyes turned red.

"Jingjing," she called softly, feeling a sense of unreality.

"Royal Mother." Yan Jingjing immediately ran over and threw herself into her arms.

Feeling the warmth in her embrace, Chu Baihan finally realized that Jingjing had truly come from Yan Country.

"How are you? You weren’t hurt in Jiangnan, were you? Has everything been alright since returning to the capital city?"

Chu Baihan anxiously inspected Jingjing from head to toe, afraid that she might have been injured.

"Royal Mother, don’t worry, Jingjing is fine, everything is fine," Yan Jingjing shook her head earnestly, speaking obediently.

Hearing her say this, Chu Baihan felt a little more at ease.

"How about your father?"

With a slight frown, Chu Baihan couldn’t help but ask about Yan Lin’s condition.

Hearing her question, Yan Jingjing’s expression turned forlorn in an instant.

She whispered, "Ever since father was brought back to the capital city, he has been recovering quietly in the Imperial Palace. The emperor has placed many people to watch over him, and I couldn’t even see him if I wanted to. Later, someone came with your token to find me, saying they could take me to Nanduan Kingdom to find you, so I came."

So that was what had happened to Yan Lin...

Chu Baihan’s heart sank and her emotions became complex.

"You will live here at the Princess Residence with us for a while," she said, as she stroked Yan Jingjing’s head with a gentle voice.

"Alright." Yan Jingjing nodded eagerly, almost bursting into tears.

"Ruolan, take them to rest first."

Chu Baihan, seeing the two little ones look exhausted, knew they were tired and thus let Ruolan take them to rest.

"Yes, Princess."

Ruolan quickly came over to lead the two little ones away.

It was only then that Chu Baihan realized Tang Ze was still there.

She stood up and then explained, "The one just now was Jingjing, my..."

"Your daughter, I know," Tang Ze said in a grave voice.

In the end, he murmured softly, "I didn’t expect that Jingjing really is your daughter."

"What?"

Chu Baihan looked at him with a strange expression.

What did he mean by that?

"Tang Yu must have told you about it, right?" she asked with furrowed brows.

After all, she had told Tang Yu about Jingjing’s real identity when they were in Jiangnan.

"Mhm," Tang Ze responded indifferently with a nod.

"It’s getting late; you should rest early." After leaving these words behind, he turned and left.

"I haven’t arranged a courtyard for you yet," Chu Baihan said helplessly.

"Didn’t you say before that I could stay wherever I wanted?" Tang Ze stopped, turned back, and his deep gaze met hers.

Chu Baihan: "..."

"Yes, yes, as you wish."

Why did she feel such a strong sense of oppression from Tang Ze?

She gave Wuji a look, signaling him to follow Tang Ze.

After a while, Wuji returned.

"Princess, Pavilion Master Tang has chosen the courtyard next to yours," he reported respectfully.

What?

Chu Baihan was slightly surprised.

She remembered that Tang Ze was extremely fond of quietness.

Wasn’t he supposed to choose a secluded corner to reside in?

Well, nowadays, Tang Ze’s temperament was indeed beyond her speculation.

"Princess, the Fifth Princess sent a note to you today, inviting you to Lianyue Mountain tomorrow to enjoy the flowers," Wuji recalled this matter and promptly reported.

"Princess, there might be deceit involved," Wuming warned immediately.

This Fifth Princess definitely had no good intentions.

Chu Baihan was silent for a good while, a cold gleam in her eyes.

"The Fifth Sister dislikes me the most, always finding ways to prevent me from attending palace banquets. Now she’s suddenly so kindly inviting me, it can’t be without a catch. But I do want to go and see, what sort of scheme she is playing this time," Chu Baihan said coldly.

"Right, Wuming, how goes the investigation I asked you to conduct?" she turned to ask Wuming.

"I have found out that the Fifth Princess’s people specifically went to Yan Country," Wuming answered, bowing.

"Indeed..."

Chu Baihan shook her head helplessly.

This sister of hers really didn’t want to let her off.

The previous assassination attempts were probably all related to Nan Leshi.

"Prepare well, and accompany me to the appointment tomorrow," she commanded.

"Yes, Princess."

...

On this side, Tang Yu followed Tang Ze into the house.

He could not help but ask doubtfully, "Pavilion Master, is what the Little Princess Consort said about King Lin being trapped in the Imperial Palace of Yan Country reliable? Should we investigate further?"

"No need," Tang Ze replied coldly, his back turned to him.

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

"Also, find me some medicine for treating burns," Tang Ze continued in a deep voice.

"Pavilion Master, your burn hasn’t healed yet? I will find the medicine right away," Tang Yu hurriedly said.

"Wait, don’t let her know I’m injured," Tang Ze suddenly called out to Tang Yu.
