My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 250: Revealing Identity

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Revealing Identity

Chu Baihan heard a voice, turned back, and found that Yan Lin had arrived behind her at some unknown time.

"You..."

She frowned deeply, her emotions complicated.

Hadn’t she ordered the people of the Princess Residence not to tell him her whereabouts? How did he still find her?

"Pavilion Master." Nan Xing quickly curtseyed politely.

"I have some words I wish to speak with your Princess," Yan Lin said, glancing at Nan Xing and then speaking in an indifferent tone.

Upon hearing this, Nan Xing instantly understood.

She quickly nodded, "This servant will go see how Wuji and the others have arranged things."

Having said this, she ran off.

Tang Yu and Ziyi, among others, also tactfully left, leaving only Chu Baihan and Yan Lin.

Chu Baihan furrowed her brows again and quietly said, "If Pavilion Master has nothing else, please return.

"I still remember, the first time I met you, was eight years ago," Yan Lin said in a raspy voice.

Hearing this, Chu Baihan slightly lost her composure for a moment.

Eight years, it had actually been eight years.

Back then, she had opened a medical clinic in Jiangnan.

It was there that she encountered Tang Ze, who had been plotted against, and she ended up saving him.

She hadn’t expected that a simple act of saving him would connect her and Xixi with the Tang Sect for so many years.

"I want to know why, when I wrote to you asking you to wait for me in Jiangnan, you left Jiangnan instead?" Yan Lin asked in a deep voice.

Back then, before he went to war to regain his identity as Yan Lin and lead troops, he had left her a letter.

The letter asked her to stay in Jiangnan, and that he would come back for her later.

It was also at that time that he had thought of marrying her.

But unexpectedly, she did not stay in Jiangnan, and he was injured on the battlefield, losing his memory of Tang Ze.

After that, it was years of separation and reunion.

Hearing this question, Chu Baihan’s expression became very complicated.

"Tang Ze, if you really need a nominal wife, you’re wealthy enough to buy one, so why bother with me?" she spoke seriously.

She was still willing to consider Tang Ze a friend and didn’t want to fall out with him, so she needed to clarify some things.

"What?" Yan Lin’s slender eyes narrowed, his expression under the mask very intense.

A nominal wife?

Seeing he still wasn’t admitting it, Chu Baihan decided to be frank with him.

"At first, I suspected you were Yan Lin. After all, you and he share some similarities, and Yan Lin had disappeared... Looking back now, I really was confused. How could I have thought that? You are obviously two different people."

"If I have done anything these days that has confused you, I apologize here," she continued.

"But there are some things I want to make clear with you. I am not only the eldest Princess of Nanduan Kingdom, but also the Princess Consort of Yan Country. If you just need a woman to shield you from societal scrutiny, you’ve got the wrong person."

A shield from societal scrutiny?

Yan Lin’s eyes instantly chilled.

"Why would I want to block societal scrutiny?" he asked in a muffled voice.

"How long do you plan to hide the fact that you like men?" Chu Baihan coldly countered.

Yan Lin: "..."

The face of a certain Prince began to crack, even his mask barely concealing it.

He asked in a tone both helpless and weary, "Why... do you think I like men?"

Was she really oblivious to his blatant favoritism towards her, both eight years ago and now?

How on earth did she conclude that he liked men?

"Eight years ago, the last time I applied medicine to you, as soon as I reached the doorstep, I found you in the room with a man..."

Chu Baihan’s face turned red, struggling to articulate.

He with another man?

A cold light flashed in Yan Lin’s eyes.

"When was the last time you treated me?" he asked quickly.

"August thirteenth," Chu Baihan answered rapidly.

Because it was two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she remembered it very clearly.

Yan Lin felt a headache coming on at the mention.

Because on the thirteenth of August, he had already led his troops to war.

He remembered the day he had left for battle quite clearly.

"The Tang Ze you saw wasn’t me but my double. I had already left Jiangnan on the tenth of August due to some urgent matters. However, to mislead my enemies, I had my double impersonate me and stay in Jiangnan,"

he explained helplessly.

What?

The person she had seen wasn’t actually him.

"No wonder, during that period, when I wanted to check your injuries again, the people from Tang Sect repeatedly stopped me. On the thirteenth of August, I had to find a way to get in by myself."

Chu Baihan’s tone was slightly awkward.

Because initially, his injuries were very severe.

And she was the kind of person who, once she started treating someone, couldn’t just give up halfway.

The more he tried to conceal it, the more she worried that something was wrong with his body, so she went to great lengths to treat him.

Unexpectedly, she witnessed that scene.

"I couldn’t believe it either!" Yan Lin gritted his teeth.

If he could do it over, he would have explained everything to her in the beginning and never would have given her the chance to misunderstand.

"Later, Uncle Tang even hinted sideways that he wanted me to become the female leader of the Tang Sect. I began to suspect that you wanted to marry me due to family pressure, to shield you from public scrutiny."

Chu Baihan’s voice was slightly awkward.

Yan Lin: "..."

He finally understood why Jingjing liked reading storybooks and always had strange ideas—it was all because of her.

"Is that also why later, when Uncle Tang mentioned me in front of you, you got so nervous?" Yan Lin asked with a tone of resignation.

"And, your urgency to finalize the marriage with Su Yuan back then, that wasn’t because of this reason, was it?"

At this moment, Yan Lin felt his teeth clenching.

Chu Baihan said nothing, but her expression had already given him the answer.

Yan Lin’s molars were painfully clenched; had he known, he would never have allowed anyone to impersonate him.

He had inadvertently handed her over to his own rival in love.

His chest ached with frustration...

But Yan Lin said nothing more; he simply stepped forward and wrapped Chu Baihan in his arms.

Her entire being was enveloped by his presence, causing Chu Baihan’s heart to tighten sharply.

She tried hard to push him away.

"Tang Ze, have you lost your mind? I’ve made it very clear to you, you..."

"I’m not gay," he said helplessly near her ear.

Chu Baihan burst out laughing: "Even if you aren’t gay, that has nothing to do with me; I am Princess Consort Lin!"

"Mm, I know, you are Princess Consort Lin, my Princess Consort," Yan Lin murmured, his voice husky as he buried his head into the crook of her neck.
