My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 307: He’s Jealous

Chapter 307: Chapter 307: He’s Jealous

"Okay."

Chu Baihan wasn’t going to put on airs any longer.

Having dealt with so many matters today, she could already feel a faint pain in her wrists.

She exchanged a glance with Yan Lin, and the two of them prepared to leave.

But just at that moment, Nan Shi called out to her, "Hanhan, the matter with your Uncle Xu..."

"Father, you are the ruler of a nation, you should be the one to make this decision! Haven’t you already made quite a few decisions on behalf of your children? Why then do you hesitate on matters of national importance?"

Chu Baihan’s steps halted, and without turning her head, she said these words coldly.

Nan Shi’s expression turned stiff.

He realized that Hanhan was blaming him, blaming him for orchestrating her union with Shi Jing.

Moreover, unbeknownst to him, she had become his mainstay.

If she and Lili didn’t handle the major affairs of the Nanduan Kingdom, he wouldn’t be at ease.

This time, it wasn’t just Chu Baihan who ignored him; even Nan Li was reluctant to say more than necessary to him.

Nan Li directly followed behind Chu Baihan as they walked out.

Outside, Chu Baihan finally felt the breath of oppression in her chest diminish significantly.

At that time, Nan Xing had already brought the carriage around.

Nan Li wanted to comfort her regarding today’s events, but Chu Baihan had already shown a smile. She smiled and said, "Elder brother, it’s Mid-Autumn Festival tonight. Do you plan to return to the Eastern Palace alone, or join us? Xixi misses you, and so does Jingjing, whom you have yet to visit. Aren’t you afraid that Jingjing won’t recognize her uncle?"

Her last words were somewhat of a "threat" to Nan Li.

Upon hearing this, Nan Li lowered his head and chuckled softly.

"Alright, alright, since you put it that way, I would really be remiss if I didn’t visit them," he said.

After saying this, he followed Chu Baihan into the carriage.

Seeing this scene, Yan Lin’s dark eyes deepened, but he said nothing.

The carriage was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate the three of them.

"Elder brother, what do you think about Uncle Xu’s actions just now?" Chu Baihan asked, looking up at Nan Li with a serious tone.

She might want to ignore the emperor, but the people of Nanduan Kingdom were innocent.

She didn’t want to stir up trouble and cause widespread suffering.

Hearing her words, a serious look also appeared in Nan Li’s clear eyes.

"Xiaobai, today, Uncle Xu deliberately mentioned the Shenxiao Order in front of me. It seems like he is implying it’s in his possession."

"Could it be that because he holds the Shenxiao Order, he feels confident, thinking that even if he no longer has control over a hundred thousand soldiers, we still couldn’t touch him?" Chu Baihan asked with an odd tone.

But that doesn’t make sense.

The Shenxiao Guards are formidable, but they are not enough to stand against a hundred thousand soldiers.

What exactly is going on?

What is Uncle Xu really planning?

"Could it be that he is retreating in order to advance? Perhaps, he no longer wishes to maintain this facade of peace," Yan Lin said, handing Chu Baihan a cup of hot tea with a serious tone.

Both Chu Baihan and Nan Li’s eyes flashed fiercely.

"This hundred thousand soldiers, I fear there may be deceit. Elder brother, do you remember, Uncle Xu started training his own troops many years ago?" Chu Baihan said urgently.

"Indeed. The Commander’s Seal might be real, but whether it can command the troops, that’s uncertain,"

Nan Li’s eyes gleamed.

So, Uncle Xu might have completely won over his troops at an earlier time.

Therefore, for him, the Commander’s Seal is dispensable.

Chu Baihan’s head began to ache.

What exactly is Uncle Xu’s next plan?

Seeing the fatigue between Chu Baihan’s brows, Nan Li couldn’t bear it and quickly spoke to comfort her, "Xiaobai, don’t worry. I have already stationed people at the Xuwang Residence and Sky Prison. If Uncle Xu makes any moves, we will definitely know. And if he truly turns against us, all the better. After all, we have been planning for so many years; it’s time to see the results."

Chu Baihan nodded.

Yes, Uncle Xuwang was always a thorn in the side of Nanduan Kingdom.

If the opposition rebelled, only then would they have the chance to completely remove this thorn.

"Didn’t they say that the two little ones are still waiting at the residence for us? We should hurry back and celebrate the festival with them," Nan Li said with a smile.

He also urged the people outside to speed up the carriage.

Watching the interaction between Nan Li and Chu Baihan while being unable to join in, the mood of a certain prince darkened.

...

Finally, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Princess Residence.

No sooner had they dismounted the carriage than they saw Yan Lian and Jian Yun, who had also rushed back.

"Brother Eight, Brother Eight, are you all right? I also only found out later that Nan Leqin and others were plotting against you. I..."

Yan Lian began with a worried tone, wanting to ask if they were alright.

But halfway through his sentence, he realized that Nan Li was also present.

Unsure if Nan Li knew about Brother Eight’s true identity, he quickly stopped talking and felt somewhat at a loss.

Seeing this, Nan Li coughed a few times and then said warmly, "You must be Prince Lian of Yan Country. I have long been aware that your royal brother is the Tang Sect Master."

That’s a relief...

Yan Lian heaved a sigh of relief.

He almost accidentally exposed Brother Eight.

But after relaxing, he felt something was off.

Was it his imagination?

Why did he feel that Brother Eight’s mood was quite off?

Could it be because so much had happened today that he was tired?

"Jian Yun, you must have been shocked today," Chu Baihan’s gaze fell on Jian Yun.

There were large and small bloodstains on Jian Yun’s dress, showing that their day had also been perilous.

Hearing this, Jian Yun quickly shook his head: "It’s nothing. The assassins today were all dealt with by Prince Nine."

Chu Baihan’s gaze fell on their tightly clasped hands, and her lips curled into a gentle arc.

It wasn’t easy, the day’s events had apparently drawn them closer together.

"Should, should we go inside and talk further?"

Noticing Chu Baihan’s gaze on their hands, the universally acknowledged handsome Prince Lian was blushing from ear to ear, and he spoke in an unnaturally toned voice.

Yet all along, he did not let go of Jian Yun’s hand.

Suppressing a smile, Chu Baihan said warmly, "So much has happened today, everyone should go back to change and wash off the bad vibes, and we can gather later to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together."

"Alright."

"Brother, there are men’s clothes in the residence as well, I’ll have someone take you there," Chu Baihan said softly, turning back to Nan Li.

"Alright, I will follow your arrangements," Nan Li nodded gently.

Yan Lin kept his lips pursed and said nothing.

After entering the residence, he strode towards his own quarters.

But as he pushed open the door of his room, he saw a slender figure standing not far away.

"Are you unhappy?"

Suddenly, the figure turned around and asked helplessly.

That voice...

It was clearly Chu Baihan’s voice.

Yan Lin’s dark eyes flickered as he said softly, "This prince is not unhappy, just... a bit frustrated."

Though he was reluctant to admit it, he was indeed jealous.

Jealous of Nan Li’s relationship with her.

More fearful that if one day Nan Li’s health was restored, he might take her away from him.
