My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 225 Falling Off the Cliff

Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Falling Off the Cliff

Listening to Xiang Zhang’s words, Chu Baihan could guess his intention.

She let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as he thought Ruolan was still of use, Ruolan’s safety could be ensured.

"If you want to know her whereabouts, once you’re dead, I’ll send her down to accompany you. Wouldn’t that fulfill your wish?"

Xiang Zhang sneered ominously.

"You knew about Concubine Hu’s identity all along, didn’t you?" Chu Baihan asked coldly.

"That’s right, the Princely Heir knew long ago. Did she think her little tricks could evade the Princely Heir’s eyes?" Xiang Zhang continued to sneer.

"Her sister... didn’t commit suicide, did she?" Chu Baihan asked harshly.

"Correct, she was disobedient, so the Princely Heir suggested she might as well die earlier."

A disobedient thing is useless to keep around.

Seeing the smug look on Xiang Zhang’s face, Chu Baihan’s eyes were filled with coldness.

Beast!

"Why did you suddenly fake your death? It can’t just be to frame me, can it?"

Chu Baihan had just blocked an attack and she spoke coldly to Xiang Zhang.

This was something she had always been puzzled by.

Xiang Zhang had Xiang An looking after him, and he was living such a comfortable life.

Why would he suddenly fake his death?

"Isn’t it all because of your dear imperial brother..."

Xiang Zhang let out a cold laugh, his eyes full of venom as he ground out, "The Crown Prince actually started investigating me in secret, even wanting to bring me to justice. It’s really laughable, the Crown Prince himself can hardly secure his position as the East Palace Master, yet he still has the leisure to deal with me."

The imperial brother was actually investigating Xiang Zhang’s affairs? Chu Baihan furrowed her brows slightly.

It seemed that the imperial brother had also long felt something was amiss with the Princess Consort Residence.

"Are you and your father both serving Uncle Xu?" Chu Baihan continued to press.

It turned out that without their noticing, Uncle Xu had already bought so many people.

In this court, even the Commandery Prince being such, were there any so-called loyal officials left?

Upon hearing Chu Baihan’s words, Xiang Zhang, who had just been generous in "solving doubts," became silent.

He seemed very cautious about matters involving Uncle Xu.

"Alright, knowing so much should allow you to be a well-informed ghost! Off you go then."

He spoke somberly, then signaled with his eyes for the Death Soldiers to continue attacking Chu Baihan and Tang Ze with lethal force.

Having struggled against these four for so long, Chu Baihan still hadn’t found their breaking point.

These must be the most formidable Death Soldiers from the Princess Consort Residence, all assigned to protect Xiang Zhang.

The Commandery Prince... truly worried about his only son.

"Cough..."

At that moment, Tang Ze coughed heavily, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Tang Ze!" Chu Baihan called his name with concern.

"It’s nothing." Although the pain in his chest was intense, Tang Ze was still trying to reassure Chu Baihan.

If he hadn’t been injured, these four Death Soldiers would be no match for him.

"He’s injured, kill him!"

Xiang Zhang became extremely excited upon discovering Tang Ze was injured.

Chu Baihan’s heart sank even further.

Tang Ze, such a proud man, must be seriously injured to be like this. How much pain he must be in now!

At this point, the movements of the Death Soldiers became even more ruthless.

Chu Baihan, in her attempt to protect Tang Ze, was carelessly driven to the edge of a cliff.

Xiang Zhang was also running out of patience, he joined the chaotic fight aiming to take the lives of Chu Baihan and Tang Ze.

"Go to hell."

Seeing Chu Baihan reveal a flaw, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he thrust his sword forward.

"Be careful!"

Noticing the danger, Tang Ze immediately pulled Chu Baihan into his arms.

But his arm was slashed in the process.

Seeing that his first attack had failed, Xiang Zhang, undeterred, immediately launched a second attack.

At this point, Chu Baihan and Tang Ze had no way out.

"Do you trust me?" Tang Ze suddenly whispered this question into Chu Baihan’s ear.

Chu Baihan’s heart trembled slightly.

For some reason, she didn’t even think before nodding her head immediately and said, "

"Okay."

After uttering just that one word, Tang Ze, while holding her waist with one hand, used the other hand to knock down Xiang Zhang’s sword.

Then, he embraced her and fell backward down the cliff.

Before Xiang Zhang could react, Tang Ze also tripped him.

With a scream, "Ah," Xiang Zhang plummeted down the cliff.

He fell faster than Chu Baihan and Tang Ze.

"Princely Heir!"

The four Death Soldiers above were very anxious but helpless.

Surrounded by the whistling wind, Chu Baihan’s mind buzzed.

At that moment, Tang Ze said in a deep voice next to her ear, "Hold on to me tightly."

Her brain couldn’t catch up, but her hands uncontrollably wrapped around his waist.

Quickly, Tang Ze pulled out a dagger from his body and fiercely plunged it into the rock.

Sparks flew where the dagger struck the stone.

In the darkness of the night, the sound was especially harsh.

Tang Ze’s arms were scratched and bleeding, yet he didn’t even furrow his brow.

Seeing this, Chu Baihan’s heart tightened even more.

Sensing her concern, Tang Ze softly instructed, "Don’t look."

There were many branches jutting out from the rock wall that allowed them to slow down, but also scratched them.

But every time they were about to hit a branch, Chu Baihan noticed that Tang Ze would use his body to block it, unwilling to let her receive even the slightest injury.

Her eyes began to redden slightly.

She didn’t understand...

Did her insignificant help many years ago warrant him risking his life to save her again and again?

Noticing the change in her emotions, Tang Ze didn’t want her to worry too much.

So, as he grabbed a branch and steadied himself, he joked, "Do you think I’m better than Yan Lin?"

"You..."

Chu Baihan’s face changed slightly.

She didn’t understand why Tang Ze always compared himself to Yan Lin.

But she couldn’t help recalling that six years ago, on Bright Moon Mountain, when she was in danger, it was Yan Lin who came to her rescue.

"There’s no need for comparison, you are different..." she muttered softly.

For some reason, she often felt a sense of déjà vu, as though there were many similarities between them.

But they were both proud individuals, who surely would not deign to be similar to someone else.

She could only try her best to distinguish between them.

One a dear friend, the other...

Sensing Chu Baihan’s reluctance to continue the conversation, Tang Ze held his peace.

Noticing that the bottom of the cliff was near, he held Chu Baihan and then, using his Qinggong, they descended gently.

When her feet touched the ground, Chu Baihan could feel his breath was very unsteady.

Clearly, he was at his limit.

"Let me check..."

Chu Baihan ignored the pain in her own wrists and wanted to check his pulse.

But he pulled his hand back, saying lightly, "It’s nothing. I just need to rest for a while."

Just then, a groan nearby drew their attention.

Chu Baihan looked over and then saw Xiang Zhang lying there.

Due to the trees breaking his fall, he was severely injured but not dead.
