My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived -

Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Awakening
Hearing Chu Baihan’s retort, Eunuch Qinglin was stunned.
He nervously spoke, "Of course to stop the Princess Consort."
"She is already Father Emperor’s concubine, how does it matter if she serves him now?" Chu Baihan countered with an indifferent tone.
"This, this..."
Eunuch Qinglin was so anxious that he became speechless.
Seeing him like this, Chu Baihan knew his heart was loyal to the Empress.
Her tone softened a bit, "Eunuch Qinglin, I understand what you mean. Whether the Princess Consort loves to serve or not, I really cannot control..."
"However," her tone suddenly changed, and her eyes became extremely cold, "If the Princess Consort impersonates my mother, that is an insult to her, and I will not let her off easily."
At that moment, Nan Li also had a cold expression on his face.
"Gale." He spoke in a cold voice.
Soon, a shadow emerged from the darkness and appeared in front of everyone.
He was wrapped tightly, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
He was one of Nan Li’s Hidden Guards, named Gale.
"Gale, find where the tenth prince is right now, break his legs, ruin his face."
When Nan Li said this, his voice was devoid of any warmth, and he seemed as if he had walked out of hell.
At this moment, he looked nothing like his usual calm and indifferent self.
Yet, no one present thought him cruel.
Hadn’t the Princess Consort done so many dirty deeds over the years just to pave a smooth path for her prince?
Then they would crush her hopes.
A disfigured prince with broken legs had no qualifications to be the Crown Prince.
Chu Baihan pursed her red lips; she remained silent.
Because had she taken action, she would have been even more ruthless.
"Alright, let’s not waste our time on irrelevant people. Get ready, we’re setting out for Tongzhou," Chu Baihan said gravely.
Hearing this, Eunuch Qinglin knew what was happening.
It seemed the Princess was planning to bypass the Emperor and lead the troops to rescue others herself.
The Emperor was so muddled. The enemy troops were already at the gates of the capital city, yet he was indulgent and still with the Princess Consort...
The Emperor was his master, whom he had served at the Emperor’s side since he was eight. He should have been utterly loyal to the Emperor.
But the things the Emperor had done in recent years were truly difficult not to resent.
He looked at Chu Baihan with a pained expression, then choked up, "Princess, you have suffered."
"I do these things not for Father Emperor, but for the people of Nanduan Kingdom. Eunuch Qinglin need not worry. I am not distressed at all," Chu Baihan sternly addressed Eunuch Qinglin.
Eunuch Qinglin quickly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.
With the Crown Prince and the Princess, they were a reassuring presence.
He understood the Princess’s disposition; she would definitely stop the Crown Prince from going to the battlefield.
Those likely to accompany the Princess on the campaign were...
His gaze shifted towards Yan Lin.
Yan Lin stood with his back to the light, making his expression unclear, but his formidable aura was incredibly tense.
Biting his teeth, Eunuch Qinglin hurriedly ran over and knelt before Yan Lin, "Prince Xie Lin, this servant begs you, please protect the Princess."
As he spoke, he began to kowtow.
Yan Lin immediately helped him up.
His tone also softened, "Eunuch Qinglin, the Princess is this prince’s Princess Consort. You need not say it; I will protect her," even if it costs me my life.
He didn’t need to be so polite to Eunuch Qinglin.
But he could see that Eunuch Qinglin was genuinely devoted to Empress Jiang, Nan Li, and Hanhan, so he naturally reciprocated the kindness.
"Thank you, Prince Xie Lin, thank you, Prince Xie Lin."
As Eunuch Qinglin wiped away his tears, he expressed his gratitude.
He knew he should not delay the Princess’s time any longer. He got up, ready to return to the palace.
But he suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly said to Nan Li and Chu Baihan, "Crown Prince, Princess Residence, I have observed recently that Li Yu, who is always by the Emperor’s side, seems a bit off."
As soon as he said this, Nan Li and Chu Baihan sensed something.
A cold light flashed in their eyes simultaneously.
"Unexpectedly, the Emperor is truly confused," Nan Li said with an unapologetic cold laugh.
"Xiaobai, you needn’t worry about such trivial matters, my royal brother will handle it well," Nan Li addressed Chu Baihan.
Chu Baihan nodded, she naturally trusted her royal brother’s handling of affairs.
If the Emperor were deceived, she would say he deserved it.
But his identity as the Emperor meant that any foolish decisions he made would impact the entire realm, which she could not ignore.
That very night, Chu Baihan and Nan Li took tens of thousands of troops to Tongzhou for punishment.
Although Nan Cong and others had been closely monitoring the Princess Residence, they still failed to react in time.
By the time he received the news, Chu Baihan and others were already on their way, angering him so much that he smashed everything in his study.
And he had yet to receive any message from his mother concubine.
He then understood...
His mother concubine, after all, was unwilling to help him.
A sinister look flashed in his eyes, and then he took a dozen guards and headed east, chasing after Chu Baihan.
He didn’t believe that, as a proud Prince on the battlefield, that wretched person could drive him back.
At the same time, another sensational event occurred in the capital city.
That was, the tenth Prince had been thrown out of a brothel.
When thrown out, his face was covered in blood, and his limbs appeared to have been broken.
...
The next morning, before dawn had even broken,
Years of attending early morning court caused Nan Shi to wake up quickly.
As soon as he woke up, he sensed something was amiss.
Because on his dragon bed, there was the scent of someone else.
Noticing the movement, Concubine Qing snuggled into his arms and then whimpered, "Emperor, your concubine is so tired, please let me rest a little longer."
Since the death of Empress Jiang, the Emperor had never favored any other concubines in the harem.
Speaking of which, this was her first time serving him in bed in years, and naturally, she was somewhat tired.
But she was satisfied.
Though it was under the shadow of that wretched Empress Jiang, the Emperor was finally willing to let her serve him in bed.
With relations established that night, she guessed whatever she requested, the Emperor would agree to.
Hearing her voice, Nan Shi’s body stiffened.
His mind quickly recalled the events of the previous night.
He thought of...
Mingmeng!
Yes, Mingmeng had come back to find him last night.
Joy surged in his heart.
He didn’t even care why the voice sounded so off, he hurriedly looked down.
But to his surprise, the face he saw was not Empress Jiang’s, it was Concubine Qing’s.
The makeup on Concubine Qing’s face had already come off.
Moreover, the rouge and powder were a mess on her cheeks, extremely unsightly.
Nan Shi’s pupils constricted.
In an instant, he guessed it was Concubine Qing’s scheme.
A torrent of hatred flashed through his eyes, and then he slapped Concubine Qing.
Concubin Qing, along with the blanket, was sent flying.
"Puh," she spat out a mouthful of blood harshly.
