Chapter 235: Wanting to Test Tang Ze
Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Wanting to Test Tang Ze
At the time Liu Shuxin had laid her schemes against him, his memory had already vaguely started to recover.
But who could have imagined, by the time he reached the temple, a massive fire had already erupted.
He risked the dangers to go in and save her.
But by the time he had brought her out, the people from Nanduan Kingdom had already arrived to take her back.
He also lost many memories in that fire, burned down to nothing.
Over the years, he had forgotten that he was the Tang Sect Master.
But there were still substitutes he had arranged within the Tang Sect.
These substitutes were originally intended to handle Tang Sect affairs when he was absent.
Unexpectedly, their existence also protected his mother and child all these years.
What allowed him to recover his memory once again was an incident in Jiangnan of Yan Country, self-revealed by Yan Xiao.
That time, he finally remembered everything.
He also realized that Nan Li had been in the know all these years, yet he never offered explanations nor reminded him.
The excuse of Nan Li was...
Nanduan Kingdom had its own difficulties.
Therefore, they couldn’t let Hanhan know his identity.
"What must I do to protect you?" He sighed heavily in his heart, his expression under the mask becoming even graver.
"When you entered the Princess Residence, did anyone notice you?" Yan Lin asked in a deep voice.
"Master, rest assured, the two of us were very careful when we came in and no one noticed us," Ziyi promptly replied.
"Then, in these past few days while you were in Nanduan Kingdom, was your identity exposed?"
Yan Lin’s tone became even sharper.
His so-called father was still searching for him, the other princes of Yan Country struggled to manage the state, his father detested him, but he still wanted to coerce him into working for Yan Country.
If his father knew he was the Tang Sect Master, it would surely incite a bloody storm once again.
Moreover, Tang Sect still had enemies in the shadows.
Now that he was helping Nan Li under the identity of Tang Ze, the ones in the shadows thought he wanted to join the court’s power struggle, perhaps they would let down their guard.
But if those people knew he came to Nanduan Kingdom because of Hanhan,
Then Hanhan, being his weakness, would certainly be exposed to endless danger.
So, he could not reveal his true identity.
Absolutely not!
Naturally, Ziyi and the others could not expose their identities either.
"Master, rest assured, currently, no one has discovered us," Ziyi continued speaking.
Upon hearing this, the worry in Yan Lin’s eyebrows finally eased somewhat.
"Master, I can understand why you keep your identity hidden from outsiders. But why don’t you tell the Princess Consort?"
After hesitating for a long time, Ziyi still asked this question.
They only recently found out that the Prince was in fact the enigmatic Tang Sect Master.
No wonder they had never appeared at the same time. They were the same person all along!
Facing Ziyin’s question, Yan Lin fell silent.
It’s not that he didn’t want to tell Chu Baihan his identity.
He was afraid...
He was afraid Chu Baihan would think he was a complete fraud.
He was also uncertain whether she held him in her heart.
After a long silence, Yan Lin said huskily, "You guys find a way to disguise yourselves, and then enter the Princess Residence openly pretending to be from the Tang Sect. You need to keep an eye on the two little ones."
The current state of Nanduan Kingdom was fraught with crises.
He had to be fully prepared, not allowing anyone he cared about to get hurt again.
"Yes, Master."
...
The night was quiet, the wind outside howling.
In her dreams, Chu Baihan always felt Tang Ze’s silver mask merged with that of Yan Lin.
By the time she woke up, she still hadn’t emerged from her dreams.
"Princess?"
Seeing her spaced out, Nan Xing called out to her worriedly.
Chu Baihan’s expression gradually became clearer.
She softly said "It’s nothing," and then slowly got up.
As she went outside, Ruolan reminded her, "Princess Consort, the doctor from Tang Sect has arrived; he is in the hall."
"Good." Chu Baihan nodded her head and then quickly made her way to the hall.
She didn’t know whether it was because she had experienced too much, but now, she cherished the chance to see familiar faces especially.
She hadn’t even reached the doorway when she heard Xixi and Jingjing’s giggling laughter coming from inside.
Upon entering, she saw that Jingjing and Xixi were playing happily with the little toys that Zishen from the Tang Sect had brought.
But upon hearing the noise, they looked up, saw her, and hurriedly ran over to pay their respects.
"Mother."
"Hmm, Jingjing, mother wants to introduce you to someone, this is..."
Xixi had already met Zishen, and Chu Baihan was about to introduce him to Jingjing.
But before she could finish, Yan Jingjing politely interjected, "I know, mother, he is Brother Zishen."
Brother?
Chu Baihan raised an eyebrow.
She remembered that before Zishen had become her apprentice, he had used to call her ’sister’.
And now he had Jingjing calling him ’brother’; was he trying to confuse their seniority?
Sensing Chu Baihan’s gaze, Zishen rubbed his nose and then awkwardly explained, "Master, I was just trying to feel a bit younger."
"You are already so old, and yet you have them call you brother; aren’t you ashamed?" Chu Baihan directly went on to smack Zishen a few times.
Zishen cowered, murmuring quietly, "Master, there are so many people watching, please save me some face."
At this moment, Chu Baihan finally held back.
Onlookers, naturally, could guess that their relationship was very good.
"Who are they?"
Chu Baihan’s peripheral vision suddenly noticed two tall figures not far away.
Sensing her gaze, the disguised Ziyi and Ziwu tensed up, their breathing even became nervous.
The Princess Consort wouldn’t have noticed something, would she?
After all, they had confirmed their disguises several times today without issue.
Zishen was also a bit nervous, but he forced himself to speak calmly, "Master, I heard that you were ambushed yesterday. For your safety, I specially brought some people from Tang Sect."
"No need," Chu Baihan frowned, about to refuse.
But Zishen immediately said, "Master, you might be fine, but Xixi and Jingjing would be better off with more people to protect them, considering how many eyes are on you; ensuring they aren’t targeted is crucial."
His words indeed reminded Chu Baihan.
The people from Tang Sect were indeed reliable...
She gave Ziyi and Ziwu another glance with her eyes, feeling a familiar sensation about these two, but she eventually put her strange feelings aside and nodded in agreement.
Zishen just subtly sighed in relief.
Chu Baihan continued to ask, "Where is your Pavilion Master?"
"The, the Pavilion Master? I did not see him when I woke up this morning," Zishen hurriedly replied.
But no sooner had he finished speaking, he realized something.
The Princess seemed rather concerned about the Pavilion Master.
It looks like the Pavilion Master has a chance!
Everyone in Tang Sect was hoping that the Princess would become their Madam.
After all, six years ago, when she was just an ordinary woman from Jiangnan of Yan Country, the Pavilion Master had ordered within Tang Sect that her safety was as crucial as his own life; the Sect must protect her at all costs.
Just then, there was a noise at the door, and Yan Lin arrived.
Chu Baihan looked up, and upon seeing that familiar mask, her thoughts stirred.
Zishen had followed Tang Ze almost for more than ten years.
If Tang Ze was not the original Tang Ze, he should have noticed, right?
