My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 226: A Familiar Feeling

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: A Familiar Feeling

"Save me, save me."

Upon seeing Chu Baihan and Tang Ze, the will to survive made Xiang Zhang quickly cry out for help.

Chu Baihan looked at him with indifferent eyes, then stepped forward and stomped directly on his wound.

Xiang Zhang screamed in pain.

He glared at Chu Baihan with eyes full of hatred but was powerless.

Chu Baihan’s cold gaze scrutinized his injuries.

"You’re quite lucky, the wounds are not fatal, you won’t die," she said coldly.

Tang Ze wanted to come over, but she sternly stopped him.

"Stop, you’re injured. Don’t move around anymore. Stand there and wait for me."

Instead of getting angry at Chu Baihan’s attitude, Pavilion Master Tang simply curved his lips into a slight smile and acquiesced, "Okay, I’ll wait for you."

Fortunately, by this time, the clouds had dispersed considerably, and the moon had also come out.

Chu Baihan could see the scene more clearly now.

Bones scattered everywhere...

Many were probably from people who fell off the cliff.

She had no interest in dealing with these and started searching around.

Finally, she found the herbs needed to treat the injuries.

She quickly picked the herbs, then turned around.

"I’ll apply the herbs to your wound, roll up your sleeve," she instructed seriously.

Tang Ze spoke calmly, "Just give me the medicine. I haven’t lost any limbs; I can handle this little task."

"No, you got injured because of me. I need to do this for you..."

Chu Baihan wanted to say she needed to treat him and take responsibility.

But then, Pavilion Master Tang raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully, "My main wounds are on my chest. Do you also want to check those?"

"Well..."

Chu Baihan wanted to say, of course, considering a doctor’s benevolent heart does not discriminate between genders.

But unfortunately, Pavilion Master Tang’s intense gaze made her feel awkward.

Forget it.

If he could still tease her, it probably wasn’t very serious; he could apply the medicine himself.

So, she grimaced, crushed the herbs with a stone, and then wrapped them in a large leaf to hand to Tang Ze.

Tang Ze then turned around to apply the medicine to himself.

Viewing his back, Chu Baihan furrowed her brows.

He must think that she wanted to take advantage of him, hence his secretive behavior.

Taking a deep breath to suppress her frustration, Chu Baihan said lightly, "Continue applying the medicine yourself. I’ll look around here for a way out. If those four death soldiers catch up, we’ll be in trouble."

"Hmm."

Tang Ze responded calmly.

But the moment Chu Baihan turned around, he could no longer hold back.

He breathed heavily and then opened his clothes.

His chest was a bloody mess.

Blood had already soaked his clothes, which were black, so it wasn’t easy to tell.

He covered the wounds with the herbs, and the pain started to spread...

He clenched his teeth, enduring it all.

By the time Chu Baihan came back, he had already finished applying the medicine.

His breathing was stable, as if nothing had happened.

Chu Baihan was still somewhat uneasy. She approached to take his pulse.

But sensing her intention, Tang Ze stood up, speaking softly, "I’m already fine. You don’t have to worry. Just take good care of your hands."

"But you..."

Chu Baihan didn’t quite understand why he had kept resisting her taking his pulse.

Was it merely out of concern for her hand?

Tang Ze didn’t give her a chance to say anything more, as he directly asked, "Have you found the way?"

"Yes, I found it. There’s a wide road ahead, and people heading into the capital pass through there at midnight. We might be able to ride in their carriage,"

Chu Baihan said solemnly.

She looked up at the sky.

It was so late already, she did not know what was happening inside the Imperial Palace.

"Yan Lian, you must hold on," she murmured.

Hu Yi was pitiable enough already, taking the blame for that cur Xiang Zhang would be too much, even the heavens couldn’t stand watching.

Xiang Zhang, already numb with pain, could guess a lot from Chu Baihan’s low murmur.

A sly smile appeared on his face, then he provocatively said, "Nan Baihan, I understand the Empress Dowager better than you do. She always must vent her anger. Therefore, knowing that Hu Yi might be my killer, even without enough evidence, she would have Hu Yi executed immediately. After all, she would rather kill mistakenly than let anyone off."

Seeing his schadenfreude, a chill spread across Chu Baihan’s face.

She pulled out a dagger from her body and then plunged it viciously into his shoulder.

"Ahhh!!!"

Xiang Zhang, who had been numbed to pain, couldn’t help but cry out in agony once again.

Chu Baihan then pressed his acupoint to stop the bleeding.

She intended to keep him alive and continuously suffering.

"You wench, do you think you can make me submit like this? You just want to save Hu Yi, don’t you? You can’t save him, even if you send me back to the palace right now, it’s too late! Hahahaha..."

"Who do you think you are, Princess of Nanduan Kingdom? Hmph, without the Emperor, you are nothing, and you will never beat Prince Xu and me!"

Xiang Zhang continued to laugh maniacally.

He just wanted to see Chu Baihan fail and fall into the dust.

Just then, Tang Ze came over and placed something into Xiang Zhang’s wound.

Soon, Xiang Zhang noticed something was wrong.

He frantically questioned Tang Ze, "What have you done to me? What did you do?"

"I just put some insects into your wound, no big deal, don’t worry,"

Tang Ze spoke indifferently, gazing coldly.

"Quick, get them out of me, get them out!"

Fear and pain almost brought Xiang Zhang to the brink of collapse just after his earlier smugness.

Tang Ze expressionlessly pressed his immobilization acupoint.

"You still have so much energy, so save your words for when we enter the palace," he said coldly.

After speaking, he picked up Xiang Zhang and walked outside.

"Tang Ze, your injuries..." Chu Baihan quickly followed him, her voice filled with concern.

But Tang Ze was calm, "It’s nothing. Carrying some trash isn’t affecting me much."

Noticing her concern, he continued in a subdued tone, "Don’t worry, although Yan Lian isn’t reliable sometimes, he never lets people down when it really matters. Whatever you ask him to do, he will do his utmost to accomplish it."

Is that so?

Hearing Tang Ze’s words, Chu Baihan looked up at him in shock.

He seemed to understand Yan Lian quite well.

Pushing down her emotions, she quickly followed along at Tang Ze’s side.

Xiang Zhang was unwilling to go to the Imperial Palace; he clenched his teeth and kept struggling.

Just as it seemed he would break free, Tang Ze promptly pressed his immobilization acupoint.

Chu Baihan looked over and could see Tang Ze’s sleeve lifted due to the vigorous movement.

She could clearly see the scars on his arm.

In that moment, her heart trembled fiercely.

Why did those scars look so familiar?
