My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 188: Tang Ze’s peculiarity

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Tang Ze’s peculiarity

"Master, why? Are you worried that the Princess will be concerned?" Tang Yu asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Tang Ze replied softly.

"Alright, I’ll go find some medicine for the wound right away."

After speaking, Tang Yu rushed out to get the medicine.

Though it was meant to be hidden...

But the Princess Residence is only so big, could he do something without Chu Baihan knowing?

"Princess, Tang Yu seems to have gone to look for burn medicine," Nan Xing said as she hurriedly walked into the sleeping chambers, her tone grave.

Burn medicine?

Chu Baihan quickly remembered what her imperial brother had told her, that it was Tang Ze who had rescued her from Jiangnan.

Perhaps he had gotten injured at that time.

Feeling somewhat complicated, Chu Baihan directly instructed Nan Xing, "This princess has some medicine here, take it to Pavilion Master Tang."

"Yes, Princess."

...

The next morning.

Chu Baihan came out of the sleeping chambers and instructed Ruolan—

"Go to the Eastern Palace first and report to the Crown Prince, tell him that Jingjing has already arrived at the Princess Residence, so he needn’t worry."

Jingjing’s coming to Nanduan Kingdom must have been the doing of my father and imperial brother.

"Yes, Princess."

"Also, when you come back, keep an eye on those two little ones at the Princess Residence. Xixi is a bit naughty; make sure he doesn’t run out. And Jingjing, she has just arrived at Nanduan Kingdom and may not be accustomed to it."

"Yes, Princess, this servant understands," Ruolan nodded.

After giving Ruolan a few more instructions, Chu Baihan finally approached the carriage at the entrance of the Princess Residence with Nan Xing.

But suddenly, she heard a noise behind her.

Turning around, she saw Tang Ze approaching.

He wore a dark robe and a silver-white mask, exuding an air of noble dignity.

Seeing him in this guise, Chu Baihan briefly lost herself in thought...

She always felt that if Tang Ze hadn’t become the overlord of Jianghu, and had joined the court as an official instead, he would surely have been a Great General who could shake the whole realm.

When she came back to her senses, she asked in puzzlement, "Where are you going?"

"To join you on the trip to Lianyue Mountain for the meeting."

After saying this, Tang Ze directly walked past her and boarded the carriage.

"You’re going with me?" Chu Baihan was stunned.

But Tang Ze was already sitting inside the carriage.

"Aren’t we meeting up? Why not get on the carriage?" His deep voice came from inside the carriage, giving off the impression that he was the host and she was the guest.

Chu Baihan resignedly followed and also got into the carriage.

Inside the carriage.

She sat across from Tang Ze, her inquisitive eyes gazing at him for a long while.

"Is there something on my face that you find so interesting?"

Suddenly, Tang Ze turned his head, his deep eyes meeting hers.

Chu Baihan felt an awkward sensation of being caught, and she quickly averted her gaze.

"I was just thinking about how you, who used to dislike staying in the capital, are now going with me to deal with those people, and I can’t help but be shocked," she said softly.

"Indeed, I prefer not to interfere with court matters, but if it concerns you, why shouldn’t I intervene?"

Tang Ze’s deep voice came from beside her.

"What?"

Chu Baihan couldn’t hold back, and she turned around to stare at him in shock.

But Tang Ze had no intention of explaining any further, so she suppressed her thoughts.

Thus, they remained silent all the way as they arrived at Lianyue Mountain.

When the carriage stopped, Chu Baihan heard Nan Leshi’s voice from outside.

"Princess, this mountain road must be difficult to travel," she said.

She was implying Chu Baihan was late.

"The fifth princess mentioned noon in the invitation, and it is not yet noon, so I am not late. Besides, I usually arrive early when meeting important people. As for those who are unimportant, what does it matter if I revisit them later?"

Chu Baihan spoke calmly as she slowly lifted the carriage curtain and then appeared before everyone.

"You..."

Nan Leshi was so angered by her words that she nearly couldn’t maintain her composure.

"Princess, you have lost much weight since returning from Yan Country; I wonder what you experienced there."

Taking a deep breath, Nan Leshi pretended to be calm as she walked up to Chu Baihan, took her hand, and then asked with feigned confusion.

Before Chu Baihan could respond, Nan Leshi said regretfully, "Originally, you went there for a marriage alliance, and I thought you had found a good marriage prospect, but who knew... you actually..."

"Exactly, considering your age, Princess, it likely won’t be easy to find a suitable husband in the future," chimed in Princess Nan Leqin as she walked over, shaking her head in regret.

They still didn’t know the real purpose of Chu Baihan’s visit to Yan Country and thought she had indeed been rejected for marriage.

So naturally, they didn’t want to pass up this opportunity to humiliate her.

Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan found it amusing.

These two had been sarcastically harping on her inability to marry off for years; she hadn’t expected them to remain the same after so many years.

She opened her mouth, ready to retort.

But unexpectedly, a cold voice came from inside the carriage at that moment.

"Her identity as the older princess, whether she marries or not, does that affect her? Only those princesses who lack capabilities, like duckweed, need to depend on a man to live," it said.

Following that, a shadow cast over Chu Baihan.

She hesitated and turned her head, only to see Tang Ze standing beside her.

Did he say this to help her?

Looking at his profile...

Most of his face was covered by a silver mask, revealing only dark, deep eyes, thick eyelashes, and tightly pursed lips.

"Who are you?"

Upon hearing Tang Ze’s words, Nan Leshi and Nan Leqin felt infuriated and embarrassed.

"He is..."

Chu Baihan had initially wanted to randomly assign a role to Tang Ze, but unexpectedly, he spoke up, "I am the admirer of the long princess who you claim cannot marry out."

"Cough cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan almost couldn’t catch her breath from coughing.

Tang Ze actually claimed he was her admirer, which was too amusing.

Seeing her reaction, Tang Ze lowered his eyes, a hint of annoyance flashing through them.

He declared his admiration for her, and it made her laugh?

Nan Xing, watching from the side, couldn’t help but hold her forehead.

The Pavilion Master had always been serious about the princess, but why did the princess always feel he was joking?

"You adore the princess, but who are you?" Nan Leshi frowned, then looked skeptically at Tang Ze.

His height and demeanor seemed fine.

But he was wearing a mask in broad daylight, probably because he was unbearably ugly; that must be why he covered it up.

Most importantly, they had never seen this man before...

He was probably just an obscure little guard.

Poor Princess, she traveled so far to Yan Country for a marriage alliance, only to be sent back, and now even a guard has taken a liking to her.

Nan Leshi and Nan Leqin wanted to burst into laughter on the spot.

But what they heard next was—

"Tang Ze, the name of this Pavilion Master."
