My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 254: Forcing Her to Go to the Temple

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Forcing Her to Go to the Temple

Tang Zishen was carried into a shabby bridal chamber and then heavily thrown onto the bed.

It hurt him terribly.

At that moment, Shi Zhouhan walked in.

He looked coldly at Tang Zishen and said somberly, "Princess Consort, I bet you never thought you’d end up in my hands one day."

"Before, you and the Emperor both favored Shi Jing and scorned me. You must be full of regret now."

Hearing Shi Zhouhan’s words, Tang Zishen rolled his eyes dramatically.

This shameless bastard.

My master is probably regretting not killing you sooner.

That kid Shi Jing, although also quite unbearable to look at,

is at least a bit better than this bastard.

"Everyone, leave,"

Shi Zhouhan ordered coldly.

His attendants quickly left and locked the door behind them,

because they all knew that Chu Baihan had powerful martial arts, and if he escaped, it would ruin their master’s plan.

"Princess Consort, I know you are highly skilled in martial arts, but when we tied you up, I had already had someone administer sedatives to you, so...don’t bother struggling in vain,"

Shi Zhouhan said, glancing at Tang Zishen with a ghostly aura.

Tang Zishen rolled his eyes again.

Those sedatives?

Not to mention my master, even I could easily neutralize them.

"Although you already have a son and are a ruined woman, I don’t mind taking you as my wife. Princess Consort, after tonight, you will be a member of the Yu Family..."

Shi Zhouhan said with a self-satisfied smile, then began to take off his robe and approached Tang Zishen.

Tang Zishen felt utterly disgusted.

How could there be someone so vile, shameless, and brazen!

When Shi Zhouhan got to the bed, he lunged at Tang Zishen.

It was at that moment that Tang Zishen’s veil fell, revealing his handsome face with red lips and white teeth.

"You..."

Shi Zhouhan thought he was seeing things as his face turned pale with shock.

Tang Zishen couldn’t hold it back any longer; he began to vomit violently.

The buns he had ingested earlier were now all spewed out as filth onto Shi Zhouhan’s body.

"Where is the Princess Consort?"

Fury blazed in Shi Zhouhan’s eyes.

His plan had been so perfect; where did it go wrong?

Why was Chu Baihan not here!

"Keep dreaming about your Princess Consort,"

Tang Zishen lashed out fiercely with a kick.

But Shi Zhouhan was not a man who could be easily subdued.

He drew a dagger from his clothes and, with a gloomy expression, said, "You ruined my plans, I’ll kill you."

After speaking, he stabbed at Tang Zishen’s vital spot.

Tang Zishen easily dodged and then took out several kinds of poison from his person, throwing them all in Shi Zhouhan’s face.

Shi Zhouhan wanted to scream in pain,

but Tang Zishen had already sealed his mute acupoint.

All he could do was roll on the ground in agony.

The people outside didn’t suspect anything from the commotion, thinking their master was likely conquering the Princess Consort.

From the top of the hill, watching the scene of merriment in the courtyard, Yan Lin’s eyes gradually grew colder.

If it had been Hanhan taken away today...

Noticing the murderous intent emanating from the person next to her, Chu Baihan immediately guessed his thoughts.

With a hint of resignation, she spoke up, "I’m right here, safe and sound. Don’t get angry."

"But what if..."

"There are no ifs. Shi Zhouhan is too eager to succeed, and his actions are fraught with flaws. I’m not so easily outmaneuvered by his schemes," Chu Baihan quickly interrupted.

Yet the countenance of a certain King Yan still appeared quite grim.

"If he harbored those thoughts, he deserves to die," he said coldly.

The followers behind Tang Yu all knew...

Tonight, there would likely be a bloodbath.

After all, their master’s wrath was truly a terrifying sight.

But that was exactly what those people deserved.

Shi Jing looked over with a trace of confusion in his expression.

Was it his imagination?

Why did he feel that Tang Ze was somehow different tonight?

His presence, even more terrifying.

"Alright, it should be about time. Let’s close the net,"

Chu Baihan commanded indifferently.

Having waited so long, there was still no sign of Uncle Xu’s men.

In the end, Shi Zhouhan was but an expendable piece to Uncle Xu.

It didn’t matter—there was still plenty of time. Uncle Xu would slip up one day.

When Chu Baihan led his troops into the courtyard, there was no resistance.

That was because Nan Xing had already drugged their drinks, and they were now all sleeping like pigs.

Right at that moment, Tang Yu and the others entered the woodshed and brought the Empress Dowager out.

Her appearance was disheveled and filthy, nowhere near her usual dignified and boundless elegance.

Once outside, the Empress Dowager was disoriented for a long time before she came to her senses.

But as soon she did, she looked at Chu Baihan and burst into hysterical laughter, "What, have you already been defiled by Shi Zhouhan?"

The crowd: "..."

Shi Jing’s expression gradually became more complex.

The Princess Consort scolded rightly indeed; he truly was a person who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.

He had actually spoken in defense of the Empress Dowager before.

It was sheer stupidity.

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager’s peripheral vision caught Shi Jing’s presence, and her expression finally brightened.

"Shi Jing, you’ve finally arrived. I almost lost my life to these bandits; quickly, kill them all for me. Only with their deaths can I breathe easy, and the disgrace of the Princess Consort can remain concealed,"

She exclaimed loudly.

It seemed that she was not so much asking Shi Jing to execute them in order to cover up the "defilement" of Chu Baihan, but rather to ensure that people within several miles would hear of it.

The expressions of the others became even more peculiar.

Yan Lin was filled with a cold fury, his gaze toward the Empress Dowager as if he were looking at a dead person.

If it weren’t for Chu Baihan holding him back, he would probably have already made the Empress Dowager pay a painful price for her vile mouth.

"Chu Baihan, don’t blame your imperial grandmother for being heartless. As a princess who has lost her virtue, you cannot return to the palace. I will ask Shi Jing to look around, and if there is a nunnery, you will be arranged to stay there..."

"As for the Emperor, I will explain the situation to him. I will try my best to keep this matter under wraps, not to spread it amongst the common folk. But you must never return to the capital. The reputation of the Nanduan Royal Family must not be ruined by your hands."

"As for Shi Zhouhan that beast, he deserves to die. I will never allow him to be the Prince Consort, because he has tarnished your reputation as well as the Imperial Family’s. I will have someone kill him. You can rest assured and go to the temple."

The Empress Dowager somehow produced a string of Buddha beads and began to chant, as if planning the rest of Chu Baihan’s life.

The crowd listened, their expressions subtle indeed.

Yan Lian nearly laughed out loud at the side.

This old hag was truly malicious.

Instead of comforting her own imperial granddaughter in a crisis, she was keen on sending her to a nunnery.

Was she really considering the reputation of the Imperial Family, or was she seeking revenge against the eighth imperial sister-in-law?

"Imperial grandmother, how do you plan to handle the matter of the eighth princess?"

Chu Baihan, not angered in the slightest, asked the Empress Dowager leisurely.
