Chapter 251: Chapter 251 I Have a Plan

What, what?

Upon hearing Yan Lin’s words, Chu Baihan stood frozen on the spot.

"What do you mean by this?" her voice trembled as she spoke.

"I’m sorry, I’ve kept this from you for so long and caused you to be hurt so many times, it’s my fault."

Yan Lin apologized with guilt, his arms that held her tightened, as if he was unwilling to ever let go again.

"Tang Ze, that’s enough, stop mocking me, I clearly saw..."

"You clearly saw my face, right? Last night, to keep it from you, I intentionally wore an extra human skin mask."

Having said that, Yan Lin released his hold and then, in front of Chu Baihan, removed his mask, the human skin mask included.

Because his face had not seen light for a long time, Yan Lin’s complexion was extremely pale.

But those clear contours, those familiar brows and eyes, were all the features Chu Baihan longed for.

Her eyes instantly reddened.

She carefully raised her hand to touch his face, feeling the warmth there; only then did she truly sense his real presence.

"Are you really Yan Lin?" she asked, her voice trembling.

"Yes, I am Yan Lin, your husband," Yan Lin slowly began, then firmly replied.

Last night, he had still intended to keep this matter from her.

But today, he had come to a realization.

He could no longer let her go so easily, and he had wronged her by keeping this secret for so long.

"I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I failed to protect you and kept you in the dark," Yan Lin spoke solemnly, his tone filled with remorse.

"About the incident back then..."

He opened his mouth, intending to explain the events of the past.

But Chu Baihan quickly shook her head, "I don’t want to hear the truth of the past right now. How are your injuries?"

She was extremely concerned and was about to take Yan Lin’s pulse.

Yan Lin grabbed her anxious hand and then patiently soothed her, "I am unharmed; don’t trouble your hand."

Hearing his steady breaths, Chu Baihan didn’t know how he managed to suppress the poison, but she was certain that he was alright for now.

Her heart finally eased a bit.

"You were hiding it from me last night, so why are you willing to admit it today?"

As her emotions gradually calmed down, Chu Baihan immediately questioned him through gritted teeth.

He really had hidden it from her for so long.

"I used to think that being Prince Consort would only bring you suffering, and that even being Tang Ze might not truly protect you, so I planned to protect you in silence..."

"Do you think I am so weak and afraid?"

Chu Baihan’s expression turned cold in an instant, displeased.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lin chuckled softly, and warmly responded, "Of course not, which is why I’ve come to an understanding. If there are things that need to be faced, then let’s confront them openly."

This time, I want to protect you openly and properly, and not let you get hurt again.

Just as Chu Baihan was about to say something else, Wuji hurried in with an urgent report.

"Princess, the big fish has taken the bait!"

Several people came along with Wuji. One of them was Yan Lian.

He saw Chu Baihan and Yan Lin with their fingers intertwined.

His mouth immediately fell open in shock.

After coming to his senses, rather than disapproving, he seriously said to Tang Ze, "In the end, it’s my eighth brother who lacks fortune. You must take good care of Princess Consort. Otherwise, neither my eighth brother nor I will let you off."

Hearing Yan Lian’s words, Chu Baihan felt a headache coming on.

She said helplessly, "Look carefully, who is he really?"

Because of Chu Baihan’s words, everyone’s eyes widened as they looked at Yan Lin’s face.

Just at that moment, the clouds in the sky parted, and moonlight spilled down, exposing Yan Lin’s face to everyone’s view.

"Eighth, Eighth Brother?"

Yan Lian exclaimed in shock.

After snapping back to reality, he almost burst into tears with a "waah."

"Eighth Brother, you’re finally back, we’ve had such a hard time looking for you," he choked out.

"Prince Lin... Pavilion Master Tang... Could it be that Prince Lin is Pavilion Master Tang?" Nan Xing began to catch on, equally shocked.

"Mm, they have been one and the same person all along," Chu Baihan spoke slowly.

Once they received her affirmative answer, silence fell around them.

This news was truly shocking for them.

However, they felt more joy in their hearts.

After all, if Pavilion Master Tang and Prince Lin were the same person, then the Princess Consort wouldn’t need to be so troubled.

"The matter of me being Tang Ze involves too much, those who learn the secret today must keep it confidential," Yan Lin said in a cold voice.

In Yan Country, he still had a game to play, so the secret of him being Tang Ze must not be leaked.

"Eighth Brother, rest assured, I will never reveal your secret. Hahaha, if you are Pavilion Master Tang, then I am the Pavilion Master’s brother, hmph. Hmph, I would like to see if that Tang Yu boy dares to act high and mighty with me in the future!"

Yan Lian exhaled, his brows raised in high spirits.

"Please rest assured, my lord, your servants will never reveal your secret."

Nan Xing and Wuji quickly declared their positions as well.

"Alright, let’s talk about the situation with the bandits," Chu Baihan told Wuji.

"Yes, Princess. After Shi Zhouhan made a show of searching the mountain, he secretly led a small team to the bandits’ stronghold at the foot of the mountain," Wuji promptly responded.

They had already known the location of the bandits’ "lair," and they had also guessed the collusion between Shi Zhouhan and the bandits.

What Chu Baihan wanted to know more was, in this matter, what role did Uncle Xuhuang play?

"Let’s go take a look," Chu Baihan ordered indifferently.

"Yes, Princess."

Yan Lin also began putting on the mask, his aura cold and clear, as he followed closely behind Chu Baihan.

...

Meanwhile.

Shi Zhouhan walked straight into the courtyard.

Wang Zhaohai was drinking and playing drinking games with his men, the noise was tremendous.

Seeing this, Shi Zhouhan’s expression darkened: "There are villagers around here, if you make too much noise and attract people, that would be troublesome."

Wang Zhaohai heard the voice, immediately put down his wine bowl, then slowly turned around.

"Brother Shi, you’re finally here, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Worried about those villagers revealing us? Hmph, what’s there to fear? Within several miles, who doesn’t know the name of Wang Zhaohai, they wouldn’t dare to cross me!"

He waved his hand, his tone extremely dismissive.

"Alright, where is the Princess Consort? Why are the Empress Dowager and the Sixth Princess also missing, was it your doing?"

Shi Zhouhan asked solemnly.

"We’ve captured all three of them, they’re locked up in that room over there," said Wang Zhaohai casually.

"You really captured all three. Didn’t I say, we only needed to capture Nan Baihan!"

Shi Zhouhan’s joy was considerably dampened upon hearing this answer.

The capture of the Empress Dowager and the Sixth Princess could mean trouble.

But Wang Zhaohai was very composed: "Don’t worry, it was a mistake on my men’s part. But capturing three people works in our favor, you see."

"How so?" Shi Zhouhan stared at him and asked.

"Hmph, I have a plan, do you want to hear it?" Wang Zhaohai smirked at Shi Zhouhan.
