My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 316: Entering the Palace to Find Him

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Entering the Palace to Find Him

Chu Baihan rode directly into the Imperial Palace on horseback.

Her imposing manner was so fierce that the Imperial Army dared not stop her.

Finally, she arrived at the door of the Imperial Study.

From a distance, she saw the figure kneeling there, his back straight, the sun shining on him, yet unable to melt the clear coldness and loneliness that enveloped him.

In that instant, Chu Baihan’s eyes reddened, her heart trembling.

He, who was so proud, had repeatedly bowed his head for her.

She quickly dismounted and strode towards Yan Lin.

"Get up, I won’t allow you to kneel."

She spoke sharply, then reached to pull him up.

Hearing her voice, Yan Lin turned his head to look at her.

He still wore a mask, his lips pale and colorless from dehydration. He pulled at the corner of his mouth and then said gently, "Hanhan, you go back first; I will handle this matter."

"The solution you speak of, is it really to kneel here for three days and nights? I know Father Emperor, he values the words of the officials most. If they do not approve of us, no matter what you do, Father Emperor will never agree."

Chu Baihan shouted angrily.

At that moment, a slender figure walked out from inside the Imperial Study.

"Princess." Shi Jing approached and bowed to her.

Chu Baihan was not in the mood to pay him much attention and directly asked, "Is Father Emperor inside?"

"The Emperor is indeed inside." Shi Jing nodded.

Chu Baihan swept her sleeve, about to go in to find Father Emperor.

But just then, Shi Jing called out to her, "Princess, if you are going to see the Emperor about your matter with the Tang Sect Master, you might not be able to persuade the Emperor. Because... I just tried to persuade the Emperor earlier, but he is resolute; he has set his heart on stopping you."

"Indeed, Father Emperor... how could he ever care about my feelings?"

Chu Baihan suddenly laughed, her laughter sounding incredibly sarcastic.

"Princess." Seeing her like this, Shi Jing felt uneasy and called out to her with concern.

His gaze swept over to Yan Lin, who was still kneeling on the ground, and he couldn’t help but ask further, "Princess, do you really... have to have the Tang Sect Master?"

The Emperor himself had told her that he intended to pass the throne to the Princess.

And the famous Tang Sect Master turned out to be Prince Lin of Yan Country.

No wonder, no wonder the Princess’s obsession with Tang Ze was so profound.

It turned out they had already had so many ties six years ago.

Initially, seeing the genuine affection between Chu Baihan and Tang Ze, he wanted to help them.

But knowing everything, he began to hesitate.

The current situation in Yan Country, although Yan Lin was not the Crown Prince, everyone knew that his ascent to the throne was what people hoped for.

Even if he did not ascend to the throne, his status as a Prince did not allow him to be the Imperial Consort of a female emperor of another nation.

Originally, because of his position as Tang Sect Master, people all over the world had started fearing Nanduan Kingdom.

If he were to become the Imperial Consort to the female Emperor of Nanduan Kingdom, not to mention that Nanduan Kingdom would become the target of other nations, Yan Country also could not accommodate them!

Thus, Tang Ze was not a suitable match for the Princess.

Hearing Shi Jing’s words, Chu Baihan turned around, her cold gaze falling on him.

"Shi Jing, you also think that I should not be with Tang Ze, right?" she asked coldly.

"Princess, I too do not wish for you to be hurt in the future," Shi Jing’s eyes flickered, then he said earnestly.

Seeing him like this, Chu Baihan understood that he knew about Yan Lin’s other identity.

She chuckled sarcastically, "So, you and the Emperor think alike."

"Enough, you were right about one thing, I indeed should not have involved the Emperor. Why should I care about his opinions on this matter? His archaic views only include his officials and the other princes and princesses, he should not meddle in my affairs."

Chu Baihan continued to speak assertively.

Upon hearing her words, Shi Jing’s heart sank deeply.

The Imperial Princess now seemed to have completely estranged herself from the Emperor.

"Imperial Princess, the Emperor is also looking out for your best interest, you..." Shi Jing tried to continue persuading.

But just then, Yan Lin had already risen to his feet.

Having knelt for too long, his body staggered slightly.

Yet, he stood firmly in front of Chu Baihan, and glared icily at Shi Jing, saying word by word, "General Shi, whether the Emperor has been good to Hanhan is not for you to comment."

"Tang Sect Master, didn’t you promise the Emperor to kneel for three days and nights? How come you have stood up in less than a day, isn’t it because you are not sincere about marrying the Imperial Princess?"

Anger welled up inside Shi Jing, making his tone even more confrontational.

Chu Baihan didn’t want Yan Lin and Shi Jing to waste words.

She directly took Yan Lin’s hand, then whispered softly, "Your knees must hurt, let’s go back to the Princess Residence first."

"Hanhan, the reason I was willing to kneel is because I wanted to show everyone my stance. I want to marry you, and I certainly will," Yan Lin suddenly said with a serious tone.

"You..."

"I stop kneeling now because I intend to rebel for you. You owe Nanduan Kingdom nothing, on the contrary, you have given much to this country. Do what you want to do, just do it directly, and if the sky falls, I will hold it up for you," Yan Lin continued in a deep voice.

Looking into his earnest eyes, a sudden sourness surged in Chu Baihan’s heart.

He...

truly understood her.

Shi Jing, standing by the side, felt uncomfortable, so he bluntly retorted Yan Lin, "Tang Sect Master, you make it sound so noble. At the end of the day, you just don’t want to kneel. Whatever the Imperial Princess wants to do, she just does? Do you know how constrained someone from the Royal Family is? How long can you protect her? About this matter of asking for her hand in marriage, you are only adding to her troubles, you can’t do anything!"

Shi Jing had admired Yan Lin in the past, but lately, he felt that the discord between Chu Baihan and the Emperor was primarily Yan Lin’s fault, so now he felt no fondness for him and spoke sharply.

Faced with Shi Jing’s aggressive manner, Yan Lin did not retort.

Instead, he curled his lips into a sarcastic arc, his cold gaze drifting off into the distance.

After a while, he murmured softly, "It’s time..."

It’s time?

Time for what?

Both Chu Baihan and Shi Jing frowned,

Just then, several generals clad in armor hurried over.

They passed by Chu Baihan, so rushed they hardly had time to salute, and ran directly into the Imperial Study.

In their haste, one of the generals almost fell.

Chu Baihan had never seen them so anxious before.

Her heart sank sharply.

Could it be that something significant had happened?

She didn’t just wait idly; she took Yan Lin’s hand and quickly followed them into the Imperial Study.

Shi Jing frowned, but he followed them in as well.
