My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 294: Do You Believe in Me, My King?

Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Do You Believe in Me, My King?

"Do you believe me?"

Yan Lin asked Chu Baihan in a soft voice.

"Yes." Chu Baihan nodded immediately without any hesitation.

Upon hearing her response, a gentle light flashed in Yan Lin’s eyes.

Soon, Ziyi brought over a horse, and Yan Lin, holding Chu Baihan by the waist, effortlessly lifted her and leapt onto the horse.

His movements were crisp and decisive, not hindered at all by holding Chu Baihan.

In his arms, Chu Baihan appeared exceedingly delicate.

Onlookers from afar couldn’t help but find the scene heartwarming.

If it weren’t for the sensitive identity of the Tang Sect Master, perhaps he and the Princess would be a match made in heaven.

"Let’s go!"

Yan Lin quickly headed into the mountains with Chu Baihan.

"Jian Yun, are you interested in hunting?" Yan Lian suddenly asked Jian Yun.

Jian Yun quickly nodded, "When I was in Yan Country, I found hunting quite interesting."

"In that case, this prince will show you the hunting in Nanduan Kingdom," he said.

Talking, Yan Lian had someone bring over a horse.

"But, I can’t ride a horse." Jian Yun hesitated.

"You don’t need to know how to ride," Yan Lian quickly shook his head.

With that, he pulled Jian Yun by the wrist into his arms and effortlessly lifted her onto the horse.

Seeing this, the people around gasped in surprise.

The prince of Yan Country, to be so close to a lady, what was her identity?

Jian Yun’s cheeks turned slightly red.

But inside, she did not resist Yan Lian’s closeness.

Shi Jing, silent, quickly mounted his horse and followed them into the mountains.

Other sons of aristocratic families, such as Kong Cheng and others, naturally followed behind.

Lun Chengran cast a deep glance at Nan Leqin before finally turning and disappearing into the mountain.

The area quickly emptied of half its people, mostly the womenfolk.

Bored, they could only begin to showcase their talents.

Although the other princes and sons had gone hunting in the mountain, the Crown Prince was still here.

Even though the Crown Prince’s time was short, gaining favor from him could still secure temporary prosperity for a family.

But no matter how energetically they performed, Nan Li’s gaze never lingered on them.

He kept looking down at the teacup in his hands, his expression dark and brooding.

Emperor... how ruthless.

In fact, he didn’t care that the Emperor had hurt him.

He was just angry that the Emperor had hurt Xiaobai’s feelings.

Xiaobai had only been back in Nanduan Kingdom for six years, yet she had done so much for Nanduan Kingdom, for the Imperial Family, for the Emperor.

But now, the Emperor thought her naive.

Even wanting to interfere in her marriage.

Did the Emperor really choose Shi Jing just because of Yan Lin’s special identity?

Then later, when Yan Lin was not with Xiaobai as the Tang Sect Master, but simply as the Princess Consort, surely that would suffice.

But the Emperor still disagreed with their union, in the end, thinking Yan Lin harder to control than Shi Jing.

"Mother, did I err when I helped find Xiaobai and had her return to the Imperial Family?" he murmured despondently in his heart.

"How has the Crown Prince been feeling lately?"

Nan Xu approached with a jug of wine, his face full of kindness as he inquired.

Hearing this voice, a chill flashed through Nan Li’s eyes.

He looked up, his voice cold, "Everything’s fine, no need for Uncle Emperor Xu to worry."

"The Crown Prince is upset about what just happened, right? Alas, I also think, my brother’s words were a bit harsh. Hanhan that girl, she’s a little stubborn and can’t be pressured, she..."

"If Uncle Emperor Xu intends to sow discord, you might as well save your efforts," he said.

Nan Li abruptly interrupted him, his tone lacking much patience.

Nan Xu’s smile stiffened.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth, "My dear nephew seems to hold quite a grudge against me. Yet, I never intended to harm you all. By the way, my people have located the whereabouts of the Shenxiao Order. If the Crown Prince wishes to know, you are welcome to visit the Xuwang Residence anytime."

Having said that, he picked up the wine jug and returned to his own seat.

The older ministers, who did not go hunting, thus all flocked to serve him.

The Shenxiao Order?

Could that be...

The item left by our Imperial Grandfather.

He and Xiaobai had been investigating the whereabouts of the Shenxiao Order for years.

Could it be that the item is indeed in Uncle Xuwang’s possession?

He looked up towards the Emperor, originally intending to discuss this matter with him.

However, he found that his father had already gone over to Nan Leqin’s side, looking very much the affectionate father.

Nan Li’s expression darkened, and he no longer felt the urge to report the matter of the Shenxiao Order.

He summoned his confidant and then said in a lowered voice, "Go investigate."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

...

In the mountains.

Several wild boars ran past in front of Chu Baihan and Yan Lin.

"Why didn’t you shoot the arrows? They’ve run away," Chu Baihan glanced back at the indifferent Prince Lin.

Was he just here for a leisurely stroll? He didn’t even try to catch the wild boars.

If it weren’t for her hand being inconvenient, she would have shot the arrows herself.

Seeing her zeal, a hint of helplessness flashed in Yan Lin’s eyes.

"Are you really here for hunting? Didn’t you notice something wrong just now? Your father... he wants to betroth you to Shi Jing," he said, his tone sounding stuffy, seemingly aggrieved.

"I don’t know what he’s thinking either, setting his sights on Shi Jing," Chu Baihan replied helplessly.

"Don’t worry, Shi Jing is not suited to be the Prince Consort, and I have no interest in him either. What do you have to worry about?" she continued, patiently soothing him.

Yan Lin opened his mouth, originally wanting to ask about her and Nan Li’s relationship.

But then, he thought that she probably didn’t know Nan Li wasn’t her real brother after all.

Well, it’s better not to let her know about it then.

"Regarding what your father did today, you shouldn’t feel sad," Yan Lin said somberly, comforting her.

Chu Baihan forced a smile, her tone laced with irony, "Since I’ve lost hope in him, naturally, I won’t feel disappointed. Besides, wasn’t I also fatherless in the past? I still lived just fine, didn’t I?"

"Right now, all I think about is finding the medicine to cure my brother," she continued to murmur.

"Medicine? What do you need?"

"Ice herb," Chu Baihan replied seriously.

"Ice herb, that must grow in the Extreme Cold Land, right?" Yan Lin murmured softly.

"Exactly, our Nanduan Kingdom is located at the very southern tip of this land, and it’s hard for ice herb to grow here. To obtain ice herb, one must go to Beihai Country."

Beihai Country?

A flurry of emotions crossed through Yan Lin’s eyes.

"That place is extremely dangerous, but if you must go, I will accompany you," he slowly spoke.

He knew that when it came to finding medicinal herbs, she would never dare to entrust the task to someone else. To save Nan Li, she would definitely want to search for the herbs herself.

Since he couldn’t stop her, he would go with her.

Hearing Yan Lin’s words, Chu Baihan breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, he was supportive of her.

"Wait a second, Yan Lin, have you noticed... something odd in these woods?" Chu Baihan suddenly asked in a serious tone.
