Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Commotion at the Entrance of the Princess Residence

What?

Xiang Zhang committed suicide?

Shock flashed through the eyes of both Chu Baihan and Nan Xing.

"Princess..." Nan Xing called out to Chu Baihan with concern.

"Let’s go, we should pay a visit to the Commandery Prince Residence."

Chu Baihan nodded to Nan Xing, then quickly turned and left.

As for how this little eunuch would report the situation to the Empress Dowager later, she didn’t have the mind to care anymore.

She knew Xiang Zhang very well...

Cowardly as a mouse, he was extremely fond of life.

To avoid prison, he could even persuade his father to hand over the Death Immunity Token.

Such a person, could not possibly commit suicide.

The Commandery Prince Residence has always been a neutral faction, but several princes, including Uncle Xu, were always trying to woo them over.

Therefore, the matter of Xiang Zhang must be handled carefully.

Otherwise, it’s feared that the Commandery Prince might turn to side with those men.

Chu Baihan didn’t even take the carriage, she rode all the way to the Commandery Prince Residence.

She dismounted from her horse, and immediately said to the guards at the gate: "Report to your Commandery Prince that the Princess is here for a visit."

But at this moment, these guards were looking at her with resentful eyes, as if she were some heinous murderer.

They dared not show disrespect to her, so they could only grit their teeth and say: "Princess, you are late. Our Commandery Prince and Princess Consort have already gone to the Princess Residence looking for you."

What?

Chu Baihan’s eyelids twitched fiercely, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Nan Xing, back to the Princess Residence," she commanded.

"Yes, Princess."

She and Nan Xing rode back quickly.

But before they returned to the Princess Residence, they saw that it was surrounded both inside and out.

Chu Baihan recognized the attire of those guards.

That was...

People from the Commandery Prince Residence!

"Princess."

Just at this moment, Wuji, having seen her from afar, hurriedly sneaked over.

"Princess, this way," he beckoned Chu Baihan into an alley before speaking angrily, "Princess, that dog Xiang Zhang committed suicide."

"Mmm, I have already learned of this when I was in the Imperial Palace," Chu Baihan nodded.

"What exactly is going on at the entrance of the Princess Residence?" asked Nan Xing anxiously.

"The Commandery Prince actually had people drag Xiang Zhang’s body to the entrance of the Princess Residence, claiming that they wanted you to give an explanation," Wuji said, stamping his foot in anger.

What did Xiang Zhang count for, to demand an explanation from the Princess?

"That’s outrageous, I’ll have someone disperse them now!" Nan Xing spoke angrily, turning around to take care of the matter.

"Stop, Nan Xing, don’t act impulsively," Chu Baihan called out to stop her.

"Wuji, tell me more about the situation," Chu Baihan asked seriously.

The matter was too strange, they couldn’t act recklessly.

"Princess, someone came from the Eastern Palace earlier; the Crown Prince urged you not to return to the Princess Residence at this time. The Commandery Prince, having lost his son, seems to have gone mad. He even smashed his head against a pillar of the Princess Residence, claiming that even if it cost him his life, he would make you pay for Xiang Zhang’s death," Wuji said gravely.

"Shameless!" Nan Xing shivered with anger.

"Are all the commoners at the door supporting the Commandery Prince?" Chu Baihan continued to question Wuji.

"There must be someone inciting emotions. Otherwise, considering Xiang Zhang’s character, if he were dead, half the people in the capital would be applauding at home, not having the courage or the inclination to cause trouble at the entrance to the Princess Residence," Wuji angrily continued.

A cold light flashed in Chu Baihan’s eyes as she spoke calmly, "Not necessarily all are incited. It’s true the commoners despise Xiang Zhang, but it’s also true that they respect the Commandery Prince..."

If Commandery Prince Xiang had not had a son like Xiang Zhang, he would have remained forever a paragon of virtue in the eyes of the people.

Over the years, he had never shirked from exhausting himself in service to the court and the people.

Many beneficial decisions in the capital city now were the ones he proposed back in the day.

And he often performed acts of charity...

Such a person was almost seen as a living Buddha in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, seeing him so heartbroken, there should be some people who couldn’t stand by and would then help by denouncing her as the murderer.

"The Crown Prince is already rushing over from the Eastern Palace, and before he has dealt with this matter, Princess, please don’t come out. After all, Commandery Prince Xiang has lost all sense of reason right now, and he might go to any length to harm you."

Wuji spoke gravely.

"My royal brother is unwell and should not come to deal with these matters..."

Chu Baihan shook her head, her expression very somber.

Her thoughts were a bit chaotic.

This sudden death of Xiang Zhang left her with such a huge mess.

"How are Xixi and Jingjing now?" Chu Baihan was even more worried that the two little ones would be frightened.

"Princess, please rest assured, Wuming had already taken the two young masters out through the back door of the Princess Residence as soon as he sensed something was amiss," Wuji hurriedly replied.

That’s good...

Chu Baihan let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as those two little ones were safe, she could settle down to deal with these matters.

She looked up and out...

The place was still noisy; Commandery Prince Xiang’s questioning voice continued to echo.

"Running away is futile, let this princess come forward and give an explanation."

Having said that, she flew towards that direction.

"Princess!"

Nan Xing and Wuji called out anxiously from behind, but it was too late to stop Chu Baihan.

"Princess Residence, if you do not come out today, this old official will die at the door of your residence."

"Your Majesty, oh, my late Emperor, come and see the injustice I suffer today."

"This official has only this one single seedling, it’s my life, how could it just be gone like this."

Commandery Prince Xiang wept with tears.

There were already few black hairs left on his head, and he appeared incredibly aged, as though he had aged a decade in an instant.

The people around couldn’t help but secretly wipe their tears.

Putting aside the Princely Heir’s unworthiness, Commandery Prince Xiang truly deserved pity.

Pity the heart of parents under heaven.

"Commandery Prince, I am here," said the Princess.

Just then, a chilly voice sounded.

The crowd parted to make way, and Chu Baihan appeared before Commandery Prince Xiang An.

Princess Consort Deng looked as if she’d gone mad, charging directly at Chu Baihan.

"You murderer, I will kill you, I will kill you to appease the spirit of my son in heaven."

Chu Baihan frowned, dodging the attack by stepping to the side.

But seeing that Deng was about to fall to the ground, she still reached out to pull her up.

Yet in doing so, she afforded Deng an opportunity.

Deng’s eyes hardened, and then she raised her hand and struck Chu Baihan fiercely across the face.

The "smack" of the slap was incredibly loud.

Everyone was shocked.

"Princess!"

Nan Xing was beside herself with worry.

Chu Baihan’s eyes gradually grew colder.

But Deng, her clothes in disarray, and her hair unkempt, began to laugh wildly.

"What of a princess? I will kill you to avenge my son!"
