My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 325 Disgusting Affection

Chapter 325: Chapter 325 Disgusting Affection

"Her younger brother of the tenth royal rank is ignorant and cruel, indeed even worse than Nan Cong."

"It would be good for us to send troops, we need not concern ourselves with others. Remember, preserving the territory and people of Nanduan Kingdom is what we should do. Do any of you have confidence?"

Although Chu Baihan’s voice was not loud, it had a piercing effect that resonated with the listeners’ hearts.

The blood of those Generals and Deputy Generals was stirred.

They seemed to return to those days when the Princess led them across the battlefield.

"We, the subordinates, swear to follow the Princess to the death, to protect Nanduan Kingdom!"

After instructing them on a few more matters, Chu Baihan let them all go to prepare.

Once they had all left, Chu Baihan finally sat down wearily in the chair.

Mobilizing fifty thousand troops overnight was a taxing task even for her.

"Xiaobai, this is for you."

At that moment, Nan Li took out a token and placed it in the palm of her hand.

"This is the Jingyu Token!" Chu Baihan exclaimed in shock.

The Emperor, frequently sick and often a target for assassination, had had a company of trusted aides cultivated by the Empress twenty years prior.

These trusted aides appeared and disappeared like phantoms, their martial arts formidable, even more skilled than the Shadow Guards in the Imperial Palace.

That the Emperor had survived all these years of assassination attempts was largely due to them.

"Brother, this is your amulet for protection, why give it to me?" Chu Baihan was frantic, wanting to push the Jingyu Token back.

But she found that she couldn’t budge Nan Li’s hand at all.

Nan Li looked at her tenderly and then said, "Xiaobai, these Jingyu Guards aren’t just to protect me. The Empress also wanted them to be your safeguard. I had people searching for Uncle Xuxi throughout the night, but it seems he vanished into this Imperial City. Think about it, who else has the skill to secretly escort someone injured and unnoticed?"

"The Shenxiao Guards!"

Chu Baihan gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Exactly, the Shenxiao Guards. The Shenxiao Order may have already landed in Uncle Xuxi’s hands by now. The Shenxiao Guards are incredibly powerful and lurk in the shadows, unpredictable. While the Jingyu Guards might not match them, they are far from worthless. With them by your side, I can be at ease."

Nan Li explained earnestly to Chu Baihan.

"But, if the Jingyu Guards are protecting me, what about you?" Chu Baihan shook her head, anxious at heart.

"Silly sister, the entire world knows that you are the commander of Nanduan Kingdom. To conquer Nanduan Kingdom, you are the key. Those people would definitely prefer to assassinate you. I am practically half-dead already, not a threat to them, whereas you are in much greater danger."

Nan Li continued, his words heavy with concern.

"But, but..."

"Accept it, I will arrange for Tang Sect’s masters to protect your brother."

At that moment, Yan Lin spoke up gravely.

Hearing his words, Chu Baihan gradually calmed down.

The masters of the Tang Sect were also formidable.

Well, if she did not accept the Jingyu Token today, her brother would not be at ease with her going to Tongzhou.

Let’s do as Yan Lin suggested.

"Alright, you arrange it," Chu Baihan nodded to Yan Lin gratefully.

"Since the Jingyu Guards have been given to me, you cannot come with me to Tongzhou anymore, Brother," Chu Baihan stated firmly, her expression serious.

"How can that be? Even though my health prevents me from fighting directly, I can still serve as your Think Tank."

Nan Li urgently interjected.

His coughing began due to his undue excitement, his face turning red.

Chu Baihan quickly took out some medicine from her person.

"Brother, you must not get overly emotional. This medicine I have prepared for you will last for three months. You must stay in the capital and take your medicine properly," Chu Baihan instructed patiently.

"Xiaobai, I..."

"Brother!"

Yan Lin knew that his royal brother still wanted to follow him to Tongzhou, and this time Chu Baihan’s tone became very strong.

"The situation in Tongzhou is indeed dangerous, but the capital city is also important. Uncle Xuxi might still have a backup plan. Only if you stay in the capital city can I have no worries behind me."

"But..."

"There are no buts. Xixi and Jingjing will also stay in the capital city. I hope that you, royal brother, can help me take care of them," Chu Baihan said earnestly.

Nan Li bitterly smiled and said, "This palace, being a useless person, really can’t offer you much help. If it weren’t for this body, it would be me heading to the battlefield."

Before mother died, she had instructed him to always protect Xiaobai.

But over the years, he felt that he really wasn’t a good royal brother.

To let her bear so much alone.

Every time she personally went to the battlefield, he was always anxious, fearing that something unexpected would happen to her.

"Rest assured, Crown Prince, this time, I will not let her face the danger alone."

Yan Lin held Chu Baihan’s hand and then assured Nan Li solemnly.

Looking up at Yan Lin’s serious expression, a flash of relief passed through Nan Li’s eyes.

"With you by Xiaobai’s side, this palace can indeed be somewhat assured."

"Therefore, royal brother, you stay in the capital city. Regarding the situation in Tongzhou, I will definitely send you messages by pigeon daily," Chu Baihan continued to persuade.

Since they had talked thus far, how could Nan Li have any reason to disagree?

"Alright, you all be careful."

Suddenly, at this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside.

"Princess, Eunuch Qinglin is here," Nan Xing’s urgent voice came in.

Eunuch Qinglin is here?

Could it be that something has happened in the Imperial Palace?

Chu Baihan and Nan Li exchanged glances, and she immediately said, "Let him in quickly."

When the door was opened, Qinglin, with a face full of tears, rushed in.

"Princess, this servant has sinned." He knelt before Chu Baihan and Nan Li, then continuously kowtowed.

Soon, his forehead began to bleed.

Chu Baihan’s eyelid twitched fiercely.

She had long treated Eunuch Qinglin as an elder.

She quickly helped him up and then said softly, "Eunuch Qinglin, don’t panic, tell us slowly, what exactly happened?"

Qinglin trembled all over, he took a deep breath, and then spoke of the events of the night.

"Are you saying, the Queen impersonated mother’s appearance? And father even mistook her for someone else?" Chu Baihan asked through gritted teeth as her expression gradually turned icy.

"Yes," Qinglin found it difficult to even speak, he hesitantly said.

The Emperor had also said he loved the Empress most in his life, and he, a mere servant, found it ironic!

A "crack" sound, Nan Li sitting in the chair, directly squeezed his teacup into pieces.

The candlelight cast on his face full of chill, his eyes brimming with ominousness.

"Royal brother!" Chu Baihan called out, distressed.

She quickly had someone bring medicine, then began bandaging his hand.

"I know you are angry, but do not harm your body for those people," she said in a muffled voice.

"I understand, it won’t happen again." Taking a deep breath, Nan Li said, holding back his temper.

"Crown Prince, Princess, you better go stop them," Qinglin said anxiously.

"Why stop them?" Suddenly, Chu Baihan coldly asked in return.
