Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Tang Ze’s Special Treatment

"Nan Xing, are you saying that this jade ring belongs to Commandery Prince Xiang?"

Chu Baihan’s stern gaze fell upon Nan Xing.

"Because this jade ring is very precious, the masters at Jade Pavilion took a month to craft it, so the shopkeeper remembers it particularly clearly," Nan Xing hastily replied.

"Commandery Prince Xiang..."

Chu Baihan murmured softly, the coldness in her eyes becoming more pronounced.

"Wuji, when you searched the Commandery Prince Residence, besides those matters concerning the concubines in the back courtyard, did you find anything else?"

She began to inquire about the matters concerning the Commandery Prince Residence from Wuji.

"Replying to Princess, there was nothing else unusual," Wuji quickly stepped forward to answer.

That is...

Nothing could be found!

"Go to the Ministry of Justice and see what the forensic doctor has discovered. Also, send this female corpse to the Ministry of Justice."

"Yes, Princess."

"Wuming, continue to search the entire city, we must not miss any clue."

"This subordinate obeys."

After issuing these orders, Chu Baihan slowly stood up, gazing at the shimmering lake water.

"The opponent went to great lengths to produce a body to bewitch me instead of choosing to directly kill Ruolan, which indicates that Ruolan is still of use to him..."

"I hope that is the case. I hope Ruolan is still safe and sound..."

Lost in thought, she felt a wave of dizziness.

"Princess, be careful."

Nan Xing reacted swiftly, rushing forward to support Chu Baihan.

She said worriedly, "Princess, you have just recovered, and these past days have been fraught with so many incidents, please take care."

Chu Baihan lowered her eyes to glance at her hands.

It hurts...

"Let’s end today’s investigation here, everyone, return to the residence," Tang Ze ordered solemnly, just then.

Before Chu Baihan could react, Tang Ze grasped her hand.

His fingers were cold and slightly calloused, but holding her hand provided a reassuring and... familiar feeling.

Indeed, it was a familiar feeling.

Why did she feel that Tang Ze’s touch was so familiar?

Before she could figure it out, she had already been pushed into the carriage sent by Tang Yu.

"Cough, wait for me, I need to return as well," Yan Lian said hurriedly, seeing that Chu Baihan was about to be alone with Tang Ze in the carriage.

Tang Ze now dared to even touch the hand of the Eighth Prince’s wife; not stopping him, who knows what he might do!

With that, Yan Lian quickly pulled Jian Yun and climbed into the carriage.

The carriage, which had been spacious enough, now seemed crowded with four people in it.

Chu Baihan, unaware of the convoluted thoughts of these people, was truly exhausted today, and her hands also hurt terribly, thus she wasn’t in the mood to probe too much.

She spoke softly, "That’s fine, let’s go back first."

Xixi and Jingjing were still waiting for her at the residence.

Watching the carriage leave, Nan Leqin crossed her arms, her hum resounding, "Sister’s temper has always been fierce, and we have suffered quite a bit from her. Yet, the Tang Sect Master could actually command in front of her, truly a curiosity..."

As she spoke, she added softly, "The Tang Sect Master, even after leaving, is a person of the Jianghu, incompatible with the court, and I wonder if he will do something detrimental to the Nanduan Kingdom. Sister wouldn’t possibly be willing to sacrifice our Nanduan Kingdom just to have him help the Crown Prince, would she..."

"Eighth Princess, if you have no evidence, I advise you better not say such things," Shi Jing, noticing Nan Leqin’s increasingly unpleasant words, frowned and immediately spoke up to interrupt her.

Nan Leqin’s expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly recovered her smile.

She feigned innocence and said, "Brother Shi Jing, this princess was just joking. My sister, the Crown Princess, has truly brought a remarkable person to the Nanduan Kingdom."

"By the way, Brother Shi Jing, did you happen to hear what that maid said? The jade ring in the neck of the corpse belongs to Commandery Prince Xiang. Could this murder case be related to Commandery Prince Xiang? Otherwise, shall we go to the Princess Consort Residence now? If the murderer really is him, Brother Shi Jing, you would have achieved a great merit."

"Commandery Prince Xiang is not that kind of person!" Shi Jing said in a slightly cold tone, seriously refuting.

"Brother Shi Jing, I am thinking of your best interests..."

"Enough, it is late at night. Isn’t the Eighth Princess asking this humble commander to take you back? Please now, let’s go," Shi Jing said indifferently.

"Brother Shi Jing, I seem to have twisted my ankle earlier and can’t mount the horse," she said.

Nan Leqin looked pitifully at Shi Jing, then whispered.

"Oh, you two, why aren’t you hurrying to help the Eighth Princess up?" Shi Jing, with a stern look, directed his gaze to the two guards behind Nan Leqin.

The two guards understood the princess’s intentions...

So now, hearing Shi Jing’s words, they could only stiffen in place, not knowing whether to step forward or back.

Nan Leqin had a hint of anger in her eyes, but she was still persevering.

She continued to act coquettishly, "Brother Shi Jing, my foot is hurt, how can I mount a horse? Otherwise, I could ride together with you..."

Her objective was very simple: to ride together with Shi Jing on one horse.

Later, she could use this pretext to ask her father, the emperor, to grant her and Shi Jing a marriage.

She was already at marriageable age.

But in her father’s eyes, there was only Nan Baihan, and he had never thought of arranging a good marriage for her.

The sons of the aristocratic families appointed by her father were all good-for-nothings.

She cared for none of them!

She was, after all, the Eighth Princess, and the person she married could not be of lesser status.

Shi Jing was undoubtedly a good choice!

Unfortunately, despite Nan Leqin’s clever calculations, Shi Jing still showed no signs of being moved.

He continued to speak expressionlessly, "In that case, this humble commander will go fetch a carriage for the Eighth Princess."

After saying that, he turned away.

"You..."

Nan Leqin was so angry that she seemed about to burst into flames.

But in the end, to avoid showing her temper in front of Shi Jing, she had to suppress her anger and then said meekly, "Fine, then I will wait here for you, Brother Shi Jing."

...

Meanwhile.

In the carriage.

Chu Baihan’s wrist was becoming more painful, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her face.

Tang Ze noticed something was wrong and immediately sat next to her, then placed his palm on her wrist.

Inner Strength continuously flowed from the palm of his hand.

With the warmth infused, the pain in Chu Baihan’s hand also lessened considerably.

But she soon remembered that Tang Ze had internal injuries.

She said sternly, "Tang Ze, stop using your Inner Strength. Your body can’t handle it."

"It’s nothing serious, just a little bit of Inner Strength. I can afford to give this much," Tang Ze said in a husky, deep voice in the darkness, giving Chu Baihan a very familiar feeling.

Chu Baihan was still concerned about his health and tried to withdraw her hand.

But as she made a move, she discovered that Tang Ze had already tightly clasped her fingers, making it impossible to pull away.

Unable to see clearly what was happening, Yan Lian became anxious.

He wanted to speak up, but at that moment, Jian Yun grabbed his hand and said in a lowered voice, "Ninth Prince, shh, the Tang Sect Master is helping the Senior Princess. The princess’s hand seems to be in a bad condition."
