Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Yan Lian Comes to a Realization

The next morning dawned.

Chu Baihan woke up from her sleep.

"Princess, are you awake?"

Upon hearing movement at the door, Nan Xing immediately pushed it open and came in.

"Nan Xing, how did I get back here?" Chu Baihan shook her head slightly, then asked softly.

She vaguely remembered being in the carriage last night; how did she wake up in her own bed?

"Reporting to the Princess, last night after you fell asleep, it was Pavilion Master Tang who carried you back." Nan Xing quickly replied.

"Tang Ze?" Chu Baihan’s tone slightly surprised.

"My hands..."

Chu Baihan lowered her head to look at her hands, only to find that they were tightly bandaged.

"Late last night, an Imperial Physician came from the palace, it was Tang..." Nan Xing’s voice trailed off in the middle of speaking.

"What?" Upon hearing Nan Xing suddenly stop speaking, Chu Baihan looked up at her.

Nan Xing quickly averted her gaze, then whispered, "Yes, it was this servant who went to the palace to find the Imperial Physician for you. I was worried that your hands were in severe pain."

Actually, it was Pavilion Master Tang who had carried the Princess back, and he himself had personally gone to the palace to call the Imperial Physician.

However, Pavilion Master Tang instructed them not to tell the Princess about these two matters.

She couldn’t understand why Pavilion Master Tang, being so kind to the Princess, wouldn’t speak of it.

If he did speak up, the Princess would surely remember his kindness.

"You’ve worked hard." Chu Baihan spoke in a calm voice.

Smelling the medicinal scent emanating from her hands, Chu Baihan could guess what medicine the Imperial Physician had used.

"The Imperial Physician also took great care, the medicine applied on my hands wouldn’t be effective without being simmered for four hours," she said with a complex tone.

Nan Xing’s face wrinkled with tension.

Actually, this medicine... was also prepared by Pavilion Master Tang.

But since Pavilion Master Tang forbade it, she could only keep it secret for now.

"Princess, have your hands gotten a bit better?" Nan Xing asked with concern.

"They are a bit better, but who knows when they might act up again." Chu Baihan shook her head, speaking bitterly.

A doctor cannot heal themselves.

She was well aware of the condition of her hands, that common medicines could hardly cure her.

Her hands must be opened up for bone cutting.

Yet, the Imperial Physicians certainly wouldn’t dare to take the risk.

It sounded too outrageous.

Moreover, they lacked experience, making failure highly likely.

She could scrape someone else’s bone, but unfortunately, she couldn’t help herself.

"Princess, the Imperial Physician cautioned that you must not overexert your hands, otherwise..."

Nan Xing’s voice choked as she spoke.

"Alright, I understand." Chu Baihan nodded.

She was becoming more and more concerned about her life, as there were many important people she needed to protect. She couldn’t afford an incident.

Seeing her getting up, Nan Xing quickly came over to help her.

"Has there been any news of Ruolan?" Chu Baihan asked quietly.

Upon hearing this, Nan Xing looked dejected and shook her head, "Reporting to the Princess, there’s still no news."

"What about the Ministry of Justice, have they found out anything?"

"An hour ago, Wuji went again to the Ministry of Justice. They should have news very soon," Nan Xing replied promptly.

"Hmm. And that Aunt Hu?" Chu Baihan continued asking.

"She has already been arranged to stay in the back courtyard of our Princess Residence."

Chu Baihan nodded.

After washing up, she pushed the door open and went out.

Yan Jingjing and Chu Junxi were both standing at the door.

Seeing her come out, they quickly came forward to greet her.

"Mother, good morning," Chu Junxi softly began.

"Good morning, Jinjin, Xixi," Chu Baihan moved forward and ruffled their heads.

"I’m sorry, last night your mother promised to come back and accompany you..."

Chu Baihan looked guilt-ridden.

She had once again failed to keep her promise.

"Mother, it’s alright, we can take care of ourselves. What you’re doing is more important."

Yan Jingjing spoke with great seriousness.

Seeing their understanding nature, Chu Baihan was both touched and guilty.

"Let’s go, Mother will accompany you to have a meal."

Upon reaching the hall, the butler Gan Cheng had already prepared breakfast.

"Princess, breakfast is ready for you,"

Gan Cheng hurriedly came forward to say.

"Then please go and invite Pavilion Master Tang, Prince Yan, and Miss Jian over," Chu Baihan gave her order calmly.

"Yes, Princess."

Watching Gan Cheng leave, Chu Baihan then took Yan Jingjing and Chu Junxi to sit down beside her.

"By the way, Nan Xing, did the emperor find out about Prince Yan yesterday at the Princess Consort Residence?"

Chu Baihan suddenly remembered this matter and quickly asked Nan Xing.

A prince from another country had suddenly arrived in the capital city, and it was a must to report this to the emperor.

But she had been too busy these past few days and had forgotten to report this matter to the emperor.

If someone with ulterior motives were to make a fuss about this, it would be troublesome.

"Princess, rest assured, I was alert and cautious yesterday, and the emperor had already noticed Prince Yan’s presence," Nan Xing quickly responded.

Hearing Nan Xing’s words, Chu Baihan understood.

How could such a significant event in the capital city possibly escape the emperor’s notice?

He must have received the news as soon as Prince Yan entered the capital.

Yet last night, he didn’t say anything.

That indicated that the emperor really trusted her.

Since the emperor trusted her so much, she could not let him down.

Regarding the case at the Princess Consort Residence, she needed to find the real culprit soon.

"Sorry for the wait, we are here,"

At that moment, Prince Yan stepped in with long strides.

His demeanor had shifted from the sorrowful and listless appearance of yesterday, returning to the graceful persona of Prince Yan.

He had come to a realization after spending the whole night thinking about it.

He was hopeful for the Eighth Prince and his wife to be together, but the matters of fate and emotion could not be forced by him.

Besides, the Eighth Prince was still missing.

And before his disappearance, he had already lost his memory.

It would be tragic for his wife if he no longer remembered her upon his return.

So, let things take their natural course.

The most important thing is...

That the Eighth Prince’s wife can be happy.

Even Chu Baihan could feel the change in Prince Yan’s mood.

She couldn’t help but ask, "What happened today? Suddenly you are in such a good mood?"

Prince Yan touched his nose awkwardly and then explained in a quiet voice, "I slept fairly well last night, so I’m feeling a bit better. Princess, I’ll accompany you in the investigation today. I can’t just be here eating and drinking for nothing."

"I want to help as well," Jian Yun quickly interjected.

"You are all friends of this Princess, so what’s wrong with treating my friends kindly? There’s no need for such pressure." Chu Baihan shook her head and spoke reluctantly.

"I’m serious, I now really want to find the culprit. His methods are so cruel, I cannot stand it," Prince Yan muttered.

"Investigating the culprit isn’t just relying on a spirit of detesting evil. A slight carelessness could become troublesome,"

Just then, Tang Ze’s indifferent voice came from the doorway.

Everyone looked up to see him dressed in dark clothing, slowly walking in.

Seeing it was Tang Ze, the expression on Prince Yan’s face fell.
