Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Don’t Get Too Close
"With that, Tongzhou is saved."
Jian Tai spoke with excitement.
Another general named Li Huamao nodded in agreement, "Thankfully, Pavilion Master Tang and the Princess Residence had the foresight. Otherwise, if Tongzhou had fallen, the capital city would have been in danger!"
Shi Jing frowned deeply.
Although he had just been arguing with Yan Lin, he had to admit that what Yan Lin had done this time was indeed far superior to his own actions.
So, when the other party knelt outside initially, he was actually waiting for this moment, wasn’t he?
If he helped Nanduan Kingdom, then afterwards, no one would be able to stop him from being with the Princess anymore.
Thinking of this, Shi Jing felt slightly uncomfortable.
Chu Baihan didn’t care what others thought; she looked at Yan Lin with tender eyes.
Even though the Emperor treated him that way, he was still willing to help Nanduan Kingdom.
After all, it was because he cared for her and their two little ones.
"However, Pavilion Master Tang, you said that the Tang Sect taking action is understandable, since you are the master of Tang Sect. But how did you convince Yan Country to help us?"
Another deputy general named Wang Yongda looked at Yan Lin with a strange expression.
Yes, how did Pavilion Master Tang convince Yan Country to help them?
The unknowing few began to show subtle expressions.
Though they were in Nanduan Kingdom, they knew about the situation in Yan Country.
Currently, their Emperor’s power had basically been hollowed out...
It was said that the real power lay with Prince Lin.
Wasn’t it said that Prince Lin was unconscious and then disappeared?
Yan Lin’s cool gaze swept over everyone, and then he removed his mask, revealing his cold and handsome face to everyone’s view.
"Mobilizing the troops of Yan Country is not hard as long as I am the Prince of Yan Country," he stated coldly.
At first, when the several generals saw Yan Lin’s face, they were shocked.
So this is what Pavilion Master Tang looked like.
But they had clearly heard he wore the mask every day because he was too ugly.
"Prince of Yan Country, may I ask which Prince you are?" Jian Tai hesitated to ask.
The other generals looked at Yan Lin with tense eyes.
Yes, which Prince was he?
They thought through the situation in Yan Country in their minds, and an answer was almost forthcoming...
"Lin, Prince Lin?" Jian Tai’s tone grew more cautious.
Yan Lin did not respond, but his cool demeanor told everyone the answer.
It really was Prince Lin.
The expression on Jian Tai and the others’ faces became incredibly nuanced.
They glanced at Yan Lin with odd looks, then at Chu Baihan.
Although the Emperor tried to suppress the past of the Princess, they had heard quite a bit from the incident of her "marriage alliance" with Yan Country.
The Princess was the consort of Prince Lin who had "perished" earlier in her years.
No wonder Pavilion Master Tang was so fixated on the Princess. So it was.
"Yan Lin, let’s go."
Chu Baihan also felt sympathetic towards Yan Lin; she didn’t want him to have to explain so much to these people for her sake.
She took his hand deliberately and then prepared to lead him out.
But just as she was about to cross the threshold, a weary voice came from behind: "Han, Hanhan, about the matter of Tongzhou..."
"Rest assured, as long as I live, Tongzhou will not fall. But Father, I am not doing this for you; I am doing it for the people of Nanduan Kingdom."
After saying this, her figure could no longer be seen.
Over here, Nan Shi staggered slightly, his entire demeanor tinged with desolation, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"Your Majesty," Jian Tai called out to him with concern.
"Shi Jing, gather all the Ministers in the palace, I have orders to give them," Nan Shi lifted his head and spoke to Shi Jing with a weary tone.
Shi Jing knew that this was a critical moment for employing strategies, and the Emperor was starting to lay out his plans.
Thus he quickly nodded; "Yes, Your Majesty."
Meanwhile, Chu Baihan left the Imperial Palace, her anger still unabated.
"I apologize, it was my fault for not informing you about these matters beforehand," Yan Lin said, looking at her frosty face as he apologized softly.
"You..."
Hearing Yan Lin’s words, Chu Baihan felt her anger could not be vented.
Eventually, she spoke deflatedly, "I am angry, but I am not angry about you hiding this from me. I am angry that you are not taking your health seriously. I know you want to make our father, the Emperor, regret his actions and to stand up for me, but kneeling for so long, do you really not care about your knees?"
Chu Baihan’s anger rose as she spoke, and her eyes couldn’t help but redden.
"Your body still has unresolved Poisonous Insect Poison, your health..."
"Fear not, ever since the last time you treated me, I have had no attacks for so long," Yan Lin said as he took the initiative to pull her into his embrace, his chin resting on her head, then he reassured her in a deep voice.
"It hasn’t flared up for now, but if one day it does, it could take your life at any moment. I have always been trying to find a way to remove it, but alas..."
Chu Baihan’s tone was filled with immense guilt.
With so many events unfolding recently, she had been too preoccupied to attend to the Poisonous Insect Poison in his body.
If the Poisonous Insect were to be awakened again, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Most importantly, they did not know who had administered the Poisonous Insect, or what intentions the other party had.
Hearing her worries, Yan Lin held her even tighter.
His voice rough and unrefined, "I promise you, I will take good care of myself in the future and not worry you anymore."
His words slightly settled Chu Baihan’s troubled heart.
"Let’s go to the Princess Residence first to plan our next steps," Yan Lin said, taking the initiative to grasp her slightly cold hand, then speaking in a grave tone.
He knew she cared about the people of Nanduan Kingdom, hence he did not want these trivial matters to disturb her.
When Chu Baihan and Yan Lin returned to the Princess Residence, Chu Baihan saw a familiar person at the entrance.
"Older brother,"
Chu Baihan quickly dismounted and walked briskly up to Nan Li.
Nan Li’s face was extremely pale, but upon seeing her appear, his face immediately lit up with a smile, making everything around seem dim and colorless.
"You went to the palace again?" Nan Li asked softly.
His gaze at her filled with additional tenderness.
Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan’s expression darkened momentarily, but she quickly spoke up, "Older brother, you still have such foresightedness, knowing that Uncle Xu could not restrain himself."
"No matter how foresighted I am, I am still no match for Yan Lin,"
Nan Li looked up in the direction of Yan Lin, his tone filled with reflection.
This Prince was aware of every movement in the Imperial City.
Thus, Yan Lin’s actions within the Imperial Palace were also crystal clear to him.
Yan Lin... was indeed a man worthy of trust.
Considering what he had done for Xiaobai, others could certainly not achieve the same.
"Alright, older brother, you shouldn’t stay outside in the wind any longer, let’s go inside and discuss how to repel the external enemies,"
Chu Baihan took the initiative to link arms with Nan Li, leading him toward the interior of the residence.
"Xiaobai, men and women should maintain a distance, even though I am your older brother, such closeness is not proper,"
Nan Li glanced back at Yan Lin, then attempted to pull his hand away from Chu Baihan.
