My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 305: Provoking Nan Leqin

Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Provoking Nan Leqin

Kong Cheng’s face was bruised, but he still refused to retract his statement.

"Enough! Guards, take the Fifth Princess away."

Nan Shi completely lost his patience and shouted the order angrily.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon, the guards took large strides over and quickly tied up Nan Leshi.

Nan Leshi’s hair was disheveled and her clothes were wrinkled, nowhere near her usually dignified appearance.

She suddenly burst out laughing, "Father, I have become like this because you forced me. If you had only paid more attention to my mother and cared more about me, would I have become jealous? Would I have needed to compete with Chu Baihan?"

"Do you really think that Father favors others?"

Just then, Nan Li suddenly spoke coldly.

"Lili, you..." Nan Shi looked at Nan Li with a heavy gaze.

Nan Li scoffed sarcastically, "I have never felt that Father was biased. Since childhood, whatever I owned, all the princes and princesses had too. You always felt that Father often visited my palace and Xiaobai’s, but did you ever see how many memorials Xiaobai and I processed on behalf of Father, or how many battles Xiaobai helped Father win..."

"I remember, when General Shi had a major victory, Father also visited his residence numerous times. If you want Father’s attention, just show your capability. Lacking capability yet always being jealous..."

"You..." Nan Leshi, stung by Nan Li’s words, was beyond irritated.

"But Father indeed gave your mother his favor. How would you explain that?"

She retorted loudly.

At her words, Nan Li’s expression grew even more sarcastic.

"Favoritism? Did you know that before Mother entered the palace, Father had promised to marry only her in this lifetime? Later, the supposed favoritism he showed was just Father’s shame, trying to make up for it. Father, am I right? Unfortunately, your favoritism was like stabbing a knife in Mother’s heart."

Nan Li glanced at Nan Shi, then uttered these chilling words.

Nan Shi’s expression turned from dark to pale, but eventually, he let out a long sigh.

He indeed had wronged the Empress.

"And your mothers, when Father agreed to let them into the palace, he had already made it clear to them. Recognize your position; if you opt for glory and wealth, don’t hope for more. But people... when they obtain one thing, they want more."

Nan Li’s eyes coldly swept over Nan Leshi and Nan Leqin, then she spoke disdainfully.

The women of the harem were indeed becoming greedier.

Nan Leshi clenched her fists, her face devoid of any color.

She wanted to argue, but found herself unable to speak.

"Take the Seventh Princess and the Fifth Princess away." Suffering from a headache, Nan Shi hoarsely commanded.

Soon, the guards were going to take the two of them away.

Nan Leshi was already dazed, so she did not resist.

Nan Leqin was completely unwilling. She lashed out, shouting at Chu Baihan, "I haven’t lost, I haven’t lost, Chu Baihan, aren’t you supposed to be clever? How could you be captured by Lun Chengran? You’re just mediocre!"

Just then, Chu Baihan looked up and gazed at her with pity.

After a long time, she finally spoke softly, "Seventh Princess, it seems you really feel inferior, always aiming to outdo our Imperial Princess."

Our Imperial Princess?

Upon hearing her words, everyone couldn’t help but look up at her with strange expressions.

In the room, only Nan Li, Yu Anlin, and "Chu Baihan" remained calm.

Even Nan Shi looked doubtful.

Suddenly, "Chu Baihan" raised her hand, and a Human Skin Mask was torn from her face.

"Dongqing, it’s actually you!"

Nan Leqin broke down completely.

She had always thought that the person before was Chu Baihan, believing she had finally won over her once.

"No wonder, no wonder your hand was fine. So, was my initial plan seen through from the beginning?"

She muttered to herself incessantly, her expression dazed.

"Dongqing, you’ve worked hard."

At that moment, a cold voice came from the entrance of the cave.

Everyone looked up again...

Chu Baihan and Shi Jing appeared before them.

"Xiaobai, are you alright?"

Nan Li immediately went to her side and asked with concern.

"Brother, I’m fine. Nan Xing must have told you everything, right?" Chu Baihan looked at Nan Li’s pale face, slightly furrowing her brows, feeling very guilty.

Because the incident happened suddenly, she hadn’t had time to inform her brother in advance, causing him to worry.

But in just one glance, Nan Li guessed what Chu Baihan was thinking.

He shook his head, patiently said, "Brother, it doesn’t matter, the most important thing is that you are fine."

One prince originally wanted to step forward, but seeing the siblings talking, he could only suppress his thoughts and stood waiting in place.

Nan Shi opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but ultimately no sound came out. He could only awkwardly stand there.

Hanhan had shared the plan with Lili, but she hadn’t told him.

That surely meant...

Hanhan no longer trusted him, her father.

This realization pierced his heart fiercely.

"Nan Baihan, you had guessed my plan all along; you deliberately set this trap,"

Nan Leqin accused Chu Baihan loudly, sounding almost like a madwoman.

"So what if I did?"

Chu Baihan looked up at Nan Leqin with a cold gaze, showing not a hint of warmth.

"Father, did you hear that? Nan Baihan, she did this on purpose to trap me; she’s too malicious," Nan Leqin tried to stir the relationship between Nan Shi and Chu Baihan even at this moment.

Nan Shi looked at her with disappointed eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

Probably, he thought she was beyond help.

Nan Leqin collapsed embarrassingly into a chair, likely realizing that anything she did was futile.

But Chu Baihan had no intention of letting her off so easily.

She spoke coldly, "Lun Chengran, the Imperial Princess is about to be sent to Sky Prison, aren’t you going to see her off?"

What?

Wasn’t that despicable Lun Chengran dead?

Nan Leqin frantically looked toward the ground.

The next instant, she saw Lun Chengran, who had just been lying on the ground, get up.

He was smeared with blood, but appeared unbothered.

He knelt before Chu Baihan, respectfully saying, "I’ve seen the Imperial Princess."

"You didn’t die, how did you not die?" Nan Leqin collapsed again, angrily questioning.

"I didn’t die, is the Imperial Princess disappointed? Today’s incident was a bet between the Imperial Princess and me. She said... she had a plan to let me see clearly what kind of person the Imperial Princess who I have always admired truly is. I lost, completely lost,"

Lun Chengran turned his head, looked at Nan Leqin with a bitter smile, then slowly spoke these words.

"You despicable creature, you actually betrayed me!"

Nan Leqin screamed hysterically.
