My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 234: His True Identity

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: His True Identity

Late at night.

In the study room.

Chu Baihan was dozing off.

Just as she was about to fall, suddenly a figure came to her side and then supported her face.

Smelling the familiar, comforting scent, Chu Baihan’s eyelashes trembled lightly, and she slowly awakened.

Soon, she saw Tang Ze standing beside her.

Amidst the candlelight, her gaze crashed into his deep eyes, and her heart trembled slightly.

"You, you’re back? I heard from Wuji that you rode away with Tang Yu. Did something happen?"

Chu Baihan averted her eyes unnaturally, asking in a soft voice.

"A small problem occurred at the Tang Sect, and I went to handle it," Tang Ze explained in a deep voice.

"Is it resolved then?" Hearing that the Tang Sect had run into trouble, Chu Baihan was also very concerned.

"Mmm, it’s taken care of," Tang Ze nodded.

"Then your health..." Chu Baihan began to worry about his health again.

Looking at the worry on Chu Baihan’s face, a dark glimmer flashed through Tang Ze’s eyes.

She...

Seemed to be acting somewhat different towards him.

"My health is fine. I also brought Tang Zishen with me from the Tang Sect," Tang Ze continued.

At the mention of Tang Zishen, Chu Baihan’s expression became joyful.

Tang Zishen was a young disciple she had taken on while at the Tang Sect.

He was a few years younger than her and was extremely passionate about medicine.

Back then, he pestered her, doing everything he could to beg her to teach him medical skills.

He was also highly gifted, learning anything quickly; she wondered how he was doing now.

"Where is he?"

Chu Baihan wanted to see Tang Zishen.

She stood up anxiously, completely unaware of how close Tang Ze was to her.

With a "bang," her head collided directly with Tang Ze’s chin.

"Ouch." She touched her head, her facial expression a bit out of control.

Tang Ze’s chin had reddened, but he didn’t feel any pain.

He pursed his lips, then his hand reached up to caress her head.

Warmth from the tips of his fingers spread to her, and Chu Baihan felt the pain in her head ease considerably.

"If I’m not by your side in the future, you can’t be so rash anymore," Tang Ze said in a low voice as he rubbed her head.

His voice... was completely different from Yan Lin’s.

But Chu Baihan had a strong feeling that he might actually be Yan Lin.

Therefore, she abruptly looked up and said in an urgent tone, "Is there... nothing you feel you need to come clean about with me?"

"Come clean?"

"Yes, that’s... Are you keeping anything from me right now?" Chu Baihan asked nervously.

Underneath her long sleeves, her fingers clenched tightly.

She was afraid that Tang Ze was Yan Lin, yet also afraid he wasn’t.

The clash of these two emotions made her heart incredibly complicated.

But right now, she just wanted a definite answer.

The dark glint in Tang Ze’s eyes flashed again, but it quickly turned calm.

In a calm tone, he answered, "Keeping something from you? What could I possibly keep from you?"

Listening to his words, Chu Baihan’s expression became somewhat despondent.

Was he really not Yan Lin, or did he simply not want to admit it?

After trying to speak several times, there were some things Chu Baihan still couldn’t bring herself to ask directly, so she just diverted the topic in a soft voice, "Didn’t you say Tang Zishen is here? Where is he?"

Tang Ze was unwilling to admit it, so she decided to investigate on her own, probing gradually.

If he truly was Yan Lin, she would eventually uncover the deception.

"We’re already back at the mansion, but it’s late at night. You should rest first, and when daylight comes tomorrow, I’ll have him come to treat your hand," Tang Ze said with a stern tone.

Upon hearing Tang Ze’s words, Chu Baihan’s expression shifted subtly, her voice trembling as she asked, "You rushed back to the Tang Sect so urgently... was it to bring Tang Zishen here?"

"I know you must have a way to heal your hand, but those Imperial Physicians don’t understand what you mean. Tang Zishen is your disciple. Although his medical skills are not yet very impressive, at least he can cooperate with you," Tang Ze earnestly explained.

Chu Baihan’s emotions were now even harder to describe.

He had actually considered so much for her.

"Alright now, go rest. We can talk about anything else tomorrow," Tang Ze continued to instruct.

After saying this, he turned and left.

"Pavilion Master, you’ve been rushing about all night. I’m not sure if your wound has reopened. Shall I go get Tang Zishen?" Tang Yu followed behind Tang Ze, his tone filled with concern.

"There’s no need; you should go rest as well."

Tang Ze arrived at the door of his room, his back to Tang Yu as he spoke in an indifferent voice.

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Although Tang Yu was worried about Tang Ze’s injuries, he could only comply since it was an order.

Tang Ze pushed the door open and entered.

The room was pitch black, but two tall figures stood by the window.

Upon his entrance, the two figures immediately knelt down.

"Ziyi and Ziwu pay respects to our master."

It had been a long time since he heard the title "Prince," Tang Ze... no, it should be Yan Lin, felt a momentary daze beneath the mask.

Indeed, he was both Tang Ze and Yan Lin.

This secret was not only unknown to his confidants within the Tang Sect but was something he himself only came to know recently.

Many years ago, he established the Tang Sect while posing as a member of the Tang Family.

Back then, he had not yet been ennobled as a prince and basically had no power in his hands.

The person who supported him...

Was someone named Nan Li.

He later learned that this person was the Crown Prince of Nanduan Kingdom.

Having no ambition for royal power, he openly admitted after knowing the other’s identity that the Tang Sect would never get involved in the power struggles of the Imperial Family, regardless of the country.

But instead of getting angry, Nan Li calmly said, "I helped you not because I want your help in seizing power, but because there is someone very important to me who I need you to protect."

As for who that person was, Nan Li never divulged.

It wasn’t until many years later, when he was ambushed in Jiangnan of Yan Country and narrowly escaped death, only to be saved by a girl.

That girl was named Chu Baihan...

He had investigated her. She was the legitimate daughter of the Chu Family in the capital city, cast out to Jiangnan by her stepmother and father.

He began to pay attention to her...

Not just because she had saved his life, but also because her face bore a striking resemblance to the portrait in Nan Li’s study.

Nan Li had told him that it was the portrait of the Empress of Nanduan Kingdom.

At that time, he finally understood who Nan Li wanted him to protect.

It turned out Chu Baihan was also the eldest Princess of Nanduan Kingdom.

He had originally wanted to tell her the truth, but who knew, as he went off to war under the identity of Yan Lin, he would suffer a defeat on the battlefield, damaging his eyes and severely injuring his head, resulting in a partial memory loss.

He still remembered he was Prince Lin of Yan Country, but he did not remember he was also the Tang Sect Master, the one meant to protect her.

During the days he spent as Prince Lin, he indeed did many things that hurt her.

And he, without exception, fell for her once again.

That’s right, once again.

Long before he was Tang Sect Master, he had already entertained the thought of taking her as his wife.

After all the twists and turns, she had actually become his Princess Consort of Lin.
