Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Chu Baihan in Danger

Chu Baihan rode to the Ministry of Justice.

Her Hidden Guard had used a carriage to transport Xiang Zhang’s body, following her closely.

Just as Chu Baihan intended to dismount, something happened...

From not too far away, a spear was suddenly hurled.

The spear aimed at... was the rope connecting the carriage and the horse.

Not good—the other party intended to hijack the body!

Chu Baihan sensed something amiss.

She instantly kicked with her foot and leaped into the air from her horse.

She flew onto the top of the carriage and then used her whip to hook the spear.

"Who’s there?" she called out sternly.

"Impressive skills, Fourth Princess. To think you could even stop my spear."

At that moment, a scornful voice sounded.

Chu Baihan raised her eyes, just in time to see Nan Cong riding a horse, leading a troop of men.

"What is the meaning of this, Third Brother?" Chu Baihan’s eyes grew colder once more.

"It should be I asking you what you mean. With the Princely Heir’s incident, shouldn’t his body be returned to the Princess Consort Residence? Sister, isn’t it against human decency to take away the body like this?"

Nan Cong let out a cold laugh, then spoke in a detached tone.

His eyebrows and eyes greatly resembled Nan Leshi’s, but unlike Nan Leshi, he exuded an ominous aura.

"The Princely Heir died an unnatural death. I want to investigate the cause and give the Princess Consort Residence an explanation," Chu Baihan replied coldly.

"Died an unnatural death? If so, then isn’t it even more appropriate for me to deal with this matter? Fourth Sister, in our Nanduan Kingdom, the Ministry of Justice is for presiding over cases, but the investigation of a case... Shouldn’t it be done by the Ministry of Justice?"

"Ministry of Justice official, don’t you agree?"

Nan Cong cast a glance over his shoulder.

A middle-aged man with a square face then dismounted.

Firstly, he bowed to Chu Baihan, then said righteously, "Your Highness, even though you are of noble status, we mustn’t disregard the rules. Indeed, it is for the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case."

"Guards, take the Princely Heir’s body back to the Ministry of Justice for our investigation," Nan Cong ordered for the body to be taken.

Chu Baihan had never expected that one day, Xiang Zhang’s body would be so "sought after"!

This body must not be taken away by them...

After all, it held extremely important evidence.

"Third Brother, this case involves the Princess Residence. I will naturally report it to our father. It is neither for the Ministry of Justice nor the Ministry of Justice to handle, but for the Princess Residence to intervene directly!"

Chu Baihan spoke with a forceful tone.

Upon hearing this, Nan Cong laughed.

He spoke enigmatically, "Fourth Sister, do you intend to keep the body from me today?"

"You are welcome to try," her voice grew even colder.

"It’s your own lack of tact, so don’t blame me for being impolite. Guards, I must take away this body today, make your move!"

"Yes, Prince."

Following Nan Cong’s command, the guards started moving towards Chu Baihan’s side.

Chu Baihan’s Hidden Guard immediately began to retaliate.

Even though her Hidden Guard was highly skilled in martial arts, it was clear that Nan Cong had come prepared, bringing mostly experts, and outnumbering her guards.

Thus, after just a moment, she was at a disadvantage.

"Fourth Sister, why bother? Your subordinates cannot defeat my men. Regardless, we are all investigating the case. I will clear up the truth behind the Princely Heir’s murder for you..."

"However, your resistance makes me wonder, could you actually be the real murderer?"

Nan Cong spoke with implied meaning.

Suddenly, Chu Baihan was being branded as the criminal.

Chu Baihan couldn’t be bothered to respond to his taunts.

Seeing a guard attempting to cut the carriage rope again, her eyes darkened, and she swiftly raised her whip and lashed out at him.

Noticing her action, Nan Cong naturally wouldn’t just sit idle.

"Fourth Sister, it’s been quite some time since we sparred. Seems like a clash today is inevitable. Allow me to test your skills," he said.

As his words fell, Nan Cong drew his spear and lunged towards Chu Baihan.

Seeing the spear about to reach her, Chu Baihan quickly swung her whip to block it.

Nan Cong’s spear was charged with Inner Strength.

Chu Baihan’s fingers trembled from the shock...

After dodging the same attack several times, she felt a piercing pain in her wrist.

Her hand...

It hurt so much.

The pain was so intense she almost couldn’t hold the whip.

"Princess!"

Her Hidden Guard sensed something was off and immediately called out with concern.

However, they were each entangled with several people and couldn’t break away to come to Chu Baihan’s aid.

"Fourth Princess, your martial arts... seem to have regressed," Nan Cong sneered.

Immediately after, he swung his spear again, continuing his assault on Chu Baihan.

Chu Baihan stepped back a few times...

Nan Cong had already realized her hand was injured, so he kept attacking it.

Taking a deep breath and concentrating Inner Strength in the palm of her hand, Chu Baihan tried to swing her whip in retaliation.

But when the Inner Strength reached her palm, it felt as though she had been burned by fire, causing intense pain.

Her face turned pale, and sweat began to spread on her forehead.

Gasping slightly, she tried to lift the whip, but her hand was in so much pain that she simply didn’t have the strength to do so.

"Fourth Princess, indeed your martial arts are off today. Let this prince teach you what true martial arts are," Nan Cong said with a cold laugh, then swung his spear again, aiming at Chu Baihan.

"Princess!"

The Hidden Guards were all frantic with worry.

With a carriage behind her, Chu Baihan had no way to retreat, and the pain in both her hands prevented her from using her Inner Strength and the whip.

In the nick of time, a spear was thrown from another direction.

"Third Prince, let this Pavilion Master show you how to use a spear," a cold voice sounded.

Right after, Tang Ze’s towering figure appeared in front of Chu Baihan.

With a "thud," the spear he held collided with Nan Cong’s.

Nan Cong’s hand shook, and he almost couldn’t hold onto the spear.

He felt a dull pain in his chest as if affected by Tang Ze’s Inner Strength.

He took several steps backward and leaned on his spear to barely stabilize himself.

After regaining his balance, he looked up at Tang Ze with a shocked expression.

"Who are you to dare to injure this prince!"

"Tang Ze."

After Tang Ze coldly uttered these two words, he immediately raised his spear and charged at Nan Cong again.

"Protect the prince, protect the prince!"

The guards around Nan Cong began to panic; they quickly grouped together and protected him.

Watching Tang Ze take on so many alone, Chu Baihan’s eyelids twitched slightly.

Once, there was also a man with a spear, overwhelmingly invincible.

Tang Ze? The name sounded so familiar, but Nan Cong, anxious as he was, couldn’t recall where he had heard it; all he did was dodge in an awkward scramble.

Seeing Tang Ze had taken control of the situation, Chu Baihan immediately ordered the Hidden Guards: "Take Nan Shi’s body inside."

"Yes, Princess."

The Hidden Guards hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain, ready to carry the body.

But the moment they lifted the curtain, their expressions changed.

"Princess, something seems to have happened."

What?

Chu Baihan frowned and quickly walked over.

What she saw...

Was a skull arranged inside the carriage!

Yet just a half incense stick ago, they had clearly put Xiang Zhang’s body inside.
