Chapter 237: Chapter 237 The General Has Arrived

Upon arriving in the study, Chu Baihan then learned that he hadn’t lied to her.

Indeed, there were many official duties for her to handle.

These past few days, in dealing with the affairs of the Xiang Family, she had nearly forgotten that she was also the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom and the Great General.

There were many state affairs still waiting for her to write about.

Headache...

"You say, I’ll write for you."

Yan Lin walked behind the long table, opened the documents, and began grinding the ink.

Hearing Yan Lin’s words, a flicker of emotion passed through Chu Baihan’s eyes.

He had always been unwilling to admit that he was Yan Lin.

But one can’t fake a person’s handwriting.

Taking a deep breath, she quickly nodded, "Okay."

Soon, she recited a long section of text.

Yan Lin’s movements were also quick; he fluidly wrote down her words on the documents.

Chu Baihan hurriedly leaned in closer.

But when she saw that the handwriting on the paper was completely different from Yan Lin’s, her heart still sank.

She glanced with her peripheral vision at his silver mask that gleamed with a cold light, and her mood became somewhat oppressed.

Could it truly be that she had guessed wrong, and Tang Ze was not Yan Lin?

"Is it that I’m writing it incorrectly?"

Yan Lin, as if he hadn’t noticed the change in her emotions, turned to look at her and asked in a deep voice.

"No." Chu Baihan shook her head and quickly continued on.

The two of them busied themselves for a full four hours before they managed to resolve the official duties she hadn’t completed.

Sitting parched on the chair, she felt exhausted.

She had been speaking continuously the whole time, but Tang Ze could actually write at a breakneck pace, keeping up with every word.

This meant that she spoke faster and faster, nearly exhausting herself.

But on Tang Ze’s side, his hands showed no sign of fatigue.

This man, with any capability, seemed unreachable.

She licked her dry lips.

Before she could even speak, Yan Lin had already poured her some tea.

"The tea is still warm; you can drink it now."

He even brought the cup of tea to her lips.

Although a bit embarrassed, Chu Baihan’s thirst made her drink the tea in one go.

Seeing that she still seemed to want more, Yan Lin continued to pour tea for her.

Chu Baihan sneakily glanced at his profile, then murmured seriously and softly, "In the future, let me do this kind of thing, although I can’t move my fingers, my arms still work. You taking care of me like this makes me feel like a child."

"Am I not taking care of a child?"

Just then, Yan Lin turned his gaze back to her, his deep eyes settling on her.

"Ah?"

Before she could react, he had approached her.

One hand gently brushed away the stray strands of hair from her temple, and with the other hand, he helped her drink water.

His deep voice came from above her head, "In my eyes, you are indeed a child that needs to be taken care of."

"You’re the child here!"

After drinking the water, Chu Baihan looked up defiantly, gritting her teeth.

Was he not being condescending, thinking of her as childish and immature?

Seeing her puffed-up appearance, Yan Lin’s lips curled into a faint smile.

But he didn’t refute her.

"Master, master, I’ve got the medicine," Tang Zishen’s voice came from outside at that moment.

Chu Baihan quickly went outside.

Since the medicines were varied and the Princess Residence couldn’t gather them all, it was Tang Zishen who had searched all the pharmacies in the capital city to finally gather them all.

"You have worked hard," Chu Baihan said solemnly.

"Not at all, not at all. I am gathering medicine for my master, which is my duty,"

Tang Zishen shook his head, his tone utterly sincere.

"Nan Xing, go and prepare the medicine," Chu Baihan instructed Nan Xing nearby.

"Yes, Princess."

"Master, please teach me how to perform acupuncture on you," Tang Zishen continued to press.

He wished he could immediately practice with the silver needle to alleviate his master’s discomfort.

Chu Baihan didn’t want to remain in this state either; she was almost becoming a disabled person.

So, she immediately nodded, "Come with me, I’ll teach you how to use the silver needle."

In order not to interfere with them, Yan Lin gave Chu Baihan a deep glance and then turned to leave.

Inside the room.

Wuji brought over a dummy made of cotton cloth and quickly left thereafter.

Only Tang Zishen and Chu Baihan were left in the room.

Chu Baihan first instructed Tang Zishen on which acupoints to target, then watched him get to work.

His aptitude was indeed high; with just a hint or two, he could catch on.

Seeing Tang Zishen’s excitement at finding the correct acupoints, Chu Baihan suddenly thought of something and tentatively asked, "Today, what’s the deal with those two attendants following you?"

As he was busy, Tang Zishen let his guard down completely and immediately replied, "I don’t know either; they are not truly from Tang Sect. The Pavilion Master arranged for them to follow me this morning. They..."

As he spoke, Tang Zishen finally realized something was amiss.

He hurriedly turned around, meeting Chu Baihan’s smiling eyes, and could only silently cover his mouth.

It was over...

The Pavilion Master had clearly warned him not to speak of this matter.

But he had been so preoccupied with acupuncture that he hadn’t paid attention to his master’s question, and some words had slipped out.

Watching Tang Zishen’s nervous demeanor, Chu Baihan also came to a realization.

It was Tang Ze who had commanded him not to speak of it.

Those two attendants...

There must be a problem with them.

Excitement flashed through her eyes; she felt she was getting closer to the truth.

"Don’t worry, I won’t mention this matter to your Pavilion Master," she said quietly.

Upon hearing this, Tang Zishen stealthily breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, having not seen your Pavilion Master for so many days, have you noticed anything unusual about him?" Chu Baihan asked with narrowed eyes, continuing to probe.

Tang Zishen scratched his head, starting to ponder this question seriously.

"It is a bit strange; the Pavilion Master wouldn’t normally speak so much to us. Previously, every time he came to deliver us an order, he would leave right after. Over six years, I’ve seen him less than ten times. To speak so much with me today, I was quite taken aback,"

Tang Zishen, patting his chest, said with a chuckle.

Yes, indeed...

That’s also where Tang Ze has been behaving oddly.

Chu Baihan’s frowning brows began to smooth.

In these six years, she and Jinjin did indeed visit Tang Sect numerous times.

But it seemed Tang Ze preferred being somewhat closer to Jinjin and quite distant from her, as if he intentionally kept her at arm’s length.

She distinctly remembered that he wasn’t like this six years ago.

Now his demeanor, on the contrary, was somewhat reminiscent of how he was back then.

So, was it the Tang Ze of the intervening six years who was odd?

Could it be that the Tang Ze of those six years... wasn’t the real Tang Ze?

This thought burst into Chu Baihan’s mind, startling her.

The truth seemed close within reach, yet also far away.

Just as she was about to question Tang Zishen further, Nan Xing hurried in.

"Princess Residence, General Shi has arrived, and he has started fighting with Pavilion Master Tang."

"What?"

Chu Baihan couldn’t contain herself; she swiftly got up and went outside.
