Chapter 203 Trouble at the Princess Residence

Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Trouble at the Princess Residence

Xiang An had just heard Wuji’s words and angrily called out, "Princess, could it be that you have hidden your maid? How could you conceal the truth like this?"

"This old official will bow three times and kowtow nine times, all the way kneeling into the Imperial Palace to beg the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to give this old official an explanation."

He looked up and shouted loudly. Then, he immediately knelt down towards the direction of the Imperial Palace and started to kowtow.

With each "bang, bang, bang," more blood flowed from his forehead.

The common people spontaneously cleared a path for him, visibly moved.

Several people couldn’t help but steal glances at Chu Baihan.

Although they didn’t dare to accuse her outright, their gritted teeth made it clear they strongly disapproved of her actions.

"Elder sister, are you trying to kill the Princely Heir and now even push the Commandery Prince to his death?"

At this point, Nan Leshi was adding insult to injury.

Seeing Chu Baihan cornered, she felt like she could finally vent the anger she felt from being slapped.

Chu Baihan disdained to engage with Nan Leshi, her complex gaze fixed on Xiang An’s stooped back.

This was...

Putting the Imperial Family on the fire.

Actually, she and the Emperor could deal with him directly.

But the problem was, after dealing with him, the reputation of the Imperial Family would also be destroyed.

The Emperor’s reputation as a wise ruler would be ruined overnight.

If this incident was orchestrated with ill intent, then the opponent’s intentions were truly sinister.

"Wuji, go and help Commandery Prince Xiang get up," Chu Baihan ordered gravely.

"Yes, Princess."

Jian Ying immediately rushed over and forcefully helped Xiang An up.

But Xiang An pushed him away with strong words, "This Prince will kneel today, even if it kills me, I must get an explanation."

Listening to this gave Chu Baihan a headache. She directly commanded, "Jian Ying, do it."

Without any hesitation, Jian Ying knocked Xiang An unconscious.

Seeing this, the guards from the Commandery Prince Residence immediately drew their swords and pointed them at Jian Ying.

Chu Baihan spoke coldly, "Did you not see that your Commandery Prince is already injured? If you let him continue like this, how could his body bear it? Can you bear the responsibility?"

Hearing Yu Yunxi’s words, the guards began to hesitate.

Chu Baihan continued coldly, "With so many eyes watching, this Princess will not harm your Commandery Prince."

"Jian Ying, take Commandery Prince Xiang inside and find the house doctor to properly treat his injuries," Chu Baihan ordered again.

"Yes, Princess."

Jian Ying moved swiftly. He signaled a Hidden Guard nearby, and they immediately helped Xiang An into the Princess Residence

The guards from the Commandery Prince Residence, feeling uneasy, followed them inside.

Seeing this, Chu Baihan didn’t bother to stop them.

Her cold gaze fell on the white cloth on the ground.

"Someone, send the body of Princely Heir Xiang to the Ministry of Justice."

"Yes, Princess."

Seeing Chu Baihan moving to handle their Princely Heir’s body again, the guards from the Commandery Prince Residence became anxious once more.

"Princess, please grant our Princely Heir some dignity!"

"Finding the real culprit and avenging him, that’s how to grant him dignity," Chu Baihan said coldly.

This matter must involve the Ministry of Justice for investigation.

"If I remember correctly, the Crown Prince is in charge of the Ministry of Justice right now. Who knows whether the Crown Prince will protect you, elder sister, and then conceal the truth?"

Nan Leshi covered her mouth, pretending to be suddenly shocked.

"If the fifth princess doesn’t trust me, then follow me," he said.

Chu Baihan walked past Nan Leshi, leaving behind this icy cold statement.

Nan Leshi raised an eyebrow and calmly reminded —

"Sister, whether I trust you or not is irrelevant. What matters is whether the Empress Dowager, the Commandery Prince, Uncle Xuhuang, all the civil and military officials, and the citizens of the capital trust you. I kindly remind you, Uncle Xuhuang has also hurried here from the residence. Otherwise, let’s have the elder investigate this matter. If it indeed turns out to be you, maybe he can still protect you somewhat, can’t he?"

"Princess, there’s no need for you to worry so much; the truth will eventually come to light," he replied coldly.

Chu Baihan withdrew his gaze and then spoke indifferently.

Before heading to the Ministry of Revenue, he didn’t forget to remind a Hidden Guard nearby, "Find out where Ruolan is and have her come to see me."

"Yes, Princess," the guard replied.

...

Tang Residence.

"Pfft."

Tang Ze sat on the Ice Bed.

He coughed up a mouthful of dark blood explosively, veins throbbing on his neck and blood vessels bursting in his eyes.

Finally, after a long time, his condition slowly stabilized.

"Master, are you all right? Should I go and fetch a doctor for you?" Tang Yu asked worriedly.

"It’s fine; I have temporarily managed to suppress the poison in my body using my Inner Strength. I can hold on for a while," Tang Ze spoke in a calm tone.

"Pavilion Master, perhaps I should have Tang Yu go back to the Tang Family; we have many precious herbs there that might suit your condition," he continued, still filled with concern.

The Pavilion Master in such a condition really made people worry.

"There’s no need, this poison in my body isn’t something ordinary herbs can clear..." Tang Ze’s eyes flickered with complex emotions as he rasped out.

"Have all arrangements been made?" he asked, closing his eyes while he continued to regulate the chaotic Inner Strength within his body.

"They have been properly made. Most of the Tang Sect’s experts have already secretly entered the capital and are dispersed in various locations. If you need them, Pavilion Master, you can summon them at any time," Tang Yu hurriedly responded.

At last, he couldn’t help but express his doubt, "Pavilion Master, are you really planning to stay in the Nanduan Capital for a long time?"

In his memory, the Pavilion Master indeed was not someone who would stay long in one place.

Even the Tang Family, he had visited it only a handful of times.

Moreover, he would often disappear for extended periods...

As his subordinate, he had seen him only a few times before.

But now, he somehow felt like he might settle down in Nanduan Kingdom, which surprised him and the people from the Tang Sect.

"There are still matters entrusted by the Crown Prince that I have not dealt with; hence, I will not leave Nanduan Kingdom for the time being," Tang Ze answered quietly.

"Oh, it’s because of the Crown Prince’s matters; I thought you were staying for the Princess," Tang Yu muttered under his breath.

He still felt that the Pavilion Master and the Princess were well-matched.

Couldn’t the Pavilion Master take the initiative a bit more and take the Princess back to the Tang Family as the Tang Sect’s Madam?

Especially since the Princess was no longer the future Princess Consort of Yan Country.

"How is the Princess Residence?" Tang Ze suddenly asked.

Tang Yu hurriedly responded, "I have been with you all day, Master; I am not very familiar with the situation at the Princess Residence. Maybe the Princess is resting there now."

But at this moment, a Hidden Guard appeared in the room like a ghost.

He quickly spoke, "Pavilion Master, something has happened at the Princess Residence."
