My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 285 Peace of Mind

Chapter 285: Chapter 285 Peace of Mind

Nan Leqin sneered upon hearing this.

"Just tell her that the Princess Residence will also be there; the eighth princess will surely leave the palace," she said somberly.

"Yes, Princess Residence."

The maids understood her meaning.

The rest of the princes had also received the royal decree one after another; their thoughts were set in motion.

Eastern Palace.

"Crown Prince, what do you think is the Emperor’s intention? A hunt without preparation is very dangerous," said Jian Feng, a confidant of the Crown Prince, with a grave tone.

Nan Li stood by the window, the frustration in his clear eyes deepening.

"Indeed, what do you all think the Emperor has in mind?"

Regardless, he always felt this matter had a lot to do with Xiaobai.

"Summon someone! Prepare a horse for me, I will also join the hunt," he ordered coldly as he turned around.

"That is not possible, Crown Prince!"

Upon hearing these words, his attendants were frantic.

Given the physical condition of the Crown Prince, he absolutely should not leave the palace.

"My body will not die; I am sustained by so many medicines. I must join today’s hunt; otherwise... I won’t be at ease," said Nan Li with unwavering determination.

Seeing his firm stance, Jian Feng and the others could not refuse.

So they clenched their teeth and went to prepare for the hunt.

Perhaps it would be safer to bring a few more Imperial Physicians.

Princess Residence.

When Yan Lin returned, it happened to be the moment the imperial edict arrived at the Princess Residence.

After hearing the edict, Chu Baihan’s expression turned odd.

The Emperor was always meticulous in his actions, but wasn’t the preparation for this hunt a bit reckless?

Was this truly the Emperor’s will?

Yan Lin stood by, his expression beneath his mask icy cold.

What exactly was the Emperor scheming?

Once the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had left, Chu Baihan immediately approached Yan Lin and asked with a serious tone, "What has happened in the palace?"

"There’s no need to worry; when I entered the palace today, I found out that your father has taken a fancy to chess again, so he wanted you to accompany him to play," Yan Lin explained calmly.

Some truths...

He thought it was better for her not to know.

And he was willing to stand in front of her, dealing with all these vexing matters on her behalf.

Chu Baihan naturally knew that Yan Lin might not be telling the whole truth.

But she didn’t want to inquire too much.

After all, he would not harm her.

"Nan Xing, prepare the hunting gear for me; we will depart for Baiyue Mountain shortly," Chu Baihan instructed firmly.

"Princess Residence, your wrist..." Nan Xing couldn’t be more worried.

Both of the Princess Residence’s hands were tied up like two rice dumplings.

Surely, this was not suitable for a hunt.

"To join a hunt doesn’t necessarily mean to hunt personally. This year, I will leave all the opportunities to them; it’s enough for me just to watch," Chu Baihan spoke in a calm voice, seeing through Nan Xing’s worries and allaying them.

"But, the hunt is so chaotic; there’s no guarantee someone won’t take the chance to do something nefarious. If the Princess Residence gets hurt, it would be terrible," Nan Xing continued to express her concern.

"I am worried about that too; should assassins appear, I fear the Emperor might be in danger," said Chu Baihan, shaking her head with a heavy expression.

Although she no longer held much hope for her so-called filial affection...

All of a sudden, she remembered the Emperor’s care for her over the years had still been considerable.

So, she would follow.

If there were any danger, she could possibly intervene.

"Yes, Princess Residence."

Nan Xing, seeing that Chu Baihan was set on leaving, didn’t say much and hurriedly withdrew to prepare.

"I will accompany you," Yan Lin said in a deep voice.

"Alright."

Chu Baihan nodded.

With Yan Lin by her side, she felt somewhat relieved.

"Princess Residence, your clothes have been prepared."

As Chu Baihan returned to the room, Nan Xing had already brought people in to bring the clothes.

Chu Baihan had her back to them, still pondering what intentions her father, the Emperor, had in holding a hunt at this time.

Hearing movement behind her, she spoke in a mild voice, "Just lay down the clothes."

After a moment, sensing someone was still behind her and thinking it was Nan Xing, she continued, "Nan Xing, come and help me change my clothes, as I can’t move my hand right now."

Quickly, someone approached her from behind and then helped her take off her outer skirt.

But just then, Chu Baihan realized that the hands touching her were extremely slender.

Her eyelid twitched, and she quickly turned around.

She then found that Prince Yan Lin had somehow already made his way behind her.

"Yan Lin, you..."

"For this prince to dress his Princess Consort, what is improper?" Yan Lin asked with a lifted eyebrow and a deep voice.

Without waiting for Chu Baihan’s retort, he had already picked up the palace robe and started to dress her.

Since she couldn’t hunt at this time due to her hand, it made no sense to wear riding attire; thus, wearing a palace robe was suitable.

It was then that Chu Baihan noticed Yan Lin had also changed his clothes.

That clothing, it matched the color of her palace robe.

The patterns were different but extremely similar; standing together, they seemed a perfect match.

She lifted her eyes to the mirror beside her.

There, the spirited and majestic Prince Yan Lin of the Yan Country was now kneeling on one knee, arranging her skirt.

Her heart was deeply moved.

She spoke quietly, "Yan Lin, there is no need for this, I can have someone else..."

"As your husband, it is natural for me to arrange your skirt. It should not be left to others," said Yan Lin solemnly.

Having arranged the hem of her dress, he rose.

When he was alone with her, he would always remove his mask.

At that moment, they stood very close to each other.

As Chu Baihan looked up, she could see his visage, as if painted.

Her heart felt a sense of peace...

If the rest of her life could also be like this, it would be quite nice.

She cleared her throat and then feigned indifference as she spoke, "I was just wondering, why is Prince Yan Lin so adept at dressing a lady?"

"It wasn’t easy for this prince to find you again; naturally, I have to take good care of you," he said with utmost sincerity.

Chu Baihan couldn’t help but laugh at his tone.

"Understood, Prince Yan Lin," she said, suppressing a smile.

"There may be dangers in today’s autumn hunt; you must be extremely careful," said Yan Lin, looking at her with a tender gaze.

"With you here, what do I have to fear?" Chu Baihan’s tone was calm.

Hearing the trust in her voice, a soft light flickered in Yan Lin’s eyes.

...

When the carriage from the Princess Residence arrived at Baiyue Mountain, many people had already gathered there.

"Elder sister, you’re finally here; we’ve been waiting for you for a long time," said Nan Leshi’s voice, reaching inside the carriage.

Chu Baihan’s expression flickered, Nan Leshi’s words were, as ever, truly vexing.

"Elder sister, why aren’t you coming down? Is there something in the carriage?" Nan Leshi continued to speak.

She had heard that Tang Ze had been with Nan Baihan for the past few days.

For a Princess Consort who had not yet married, to actually stay with a man outside, and now sitting together in a single carriage, was utterly scandalous!
