My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 337 - 336 Yueyue

Chapter 337: Chapter 336 Yueyue

Seeing Shi Jing had eaten, Zhu Yinian and Tang Chijing naturally did not hesitate.

"Great Princess, what about those blacksmiths? Will they leak the secret?"

Tang Chijing expressed his concerns.

"Find reliable people and bring them to the military camp. I have arrangements," said Chu Baihan, her voice calm.

"Yes, Great Princess."

After finishing his words, Tang Chijing turned to leave, ready to attend to the matter.

But Chu Baihan suddenly called out to him, "Wait. Remember to take care of their families and don’t frighten them."

"Yes, Great Princess."

Tang Chijing and Zhu Yinian’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The Great Princess is truly considerate.

This must be what it looks like to truly have the people in one’s heart.

There wasn’t much surprise on Shi Jing’s face.

He had long understood her nature...

Putting the people of Nanduan Kingdom in an exceedingly important position.

Hopefully, these people won’t let her sacrifices be in vain.

"General Zhu, I must trouble you to patrol around the city again to ensure its safety," instructed Chu Baihan to Zhu Yinian.

"It is my duty," Zhu Yinian quickly nodded.

Zhu Yinian left, and now only Chu Baihan and Shi Jing remained.

Shi Jing took a deep breath, greedily cherishing the opportunity to be alone with her.

But it seemed Chu Baihan had no interest in staying with him.

She walked out quickly.

Seeing this, a dark glint flickered in Shi Jing’s eyes.

He said dejectedly, "Great Princess, why must you always avoid me?"

"Looking at you displeases me, I fear I might remember the foolish things you’ve done and be unable to resist the urge to kill you," Chu Baihan said coldly, her back to him.

Shi Jing’s expression turned even more bitter.

He knew she was telling the truth, that she really did want him dead.

If it weren’t for his role as the Great General being still useful to Nanduan Kingdom, she would have wished him dead long ago.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the pain in his chest, he feigned composure and said, "Great Princess, this is the commander’s tent. If you do not wish to see me, I will leave."

Having said that, he strode out.

Chu Baihan withdrew her gaze, no longer wanting to deal with his matters.

She turned around and continued to study the map.

She had to memorize every single place in the surroundings.

Just at that moment, the curtain was lifted again.

Feng Shan came in, carrying tea.

Seeing her enter, Chu Baihan slightly furrowed her brows. She first ensured that the weapon blueprints were put away, and then said in a light voice, "Why are you here? Didn’t I ask Miss Zhu to take care of you?"

"Princess, you have been here for quite a while now. I made you some hot tea. Please have a sip to quench your thirst," said Feng Shan.

Feng Shan had obviously noticed Chu Baihan’s earlier action, but his face betrayed no sign.

He softly explained his purpose.

Chu Baihan licked her lips, indeed feeling a bit thirsty.

She nodded, "Then bring it here."

Feng Shan walked over, and then set down the teapot and cup.

He skillfully made tea, and as Chu Baihan sat in her chair, watching his movements, she found the scene quite pleasant.

"I was not aware that you had such excellent tea-making skills, Xinyue," commented Chu Baihan as she took a sip from the cup he had prepared.

She savored the tea, and instantly, her eyes brightened a few shades.

The tea leaves were identical to the ones she usually drank, yet when the person before her brewed them, it somehow tasted a bit sweeter.

She never liked drinking tea, but the tea-making skills of the person before her had won her heart.

Just like back then...

Feng Shan.

In a trance, Chu Baihan remembered the child she had adopted back in the capital city of Yan Country.

That little girl had been stubborn at first; after becoming familiar with her surroundings, she turned clever and quirky.

To please her, the little girl had tried every trick in the book.

The girl memorized all her preferences, even the exact temperature for brewing tea.

Because of her own mishap, Doctor Wu suffered so much, and the little girl went missing.

She wondered how she had been all these years.

Each time she thought of this incident, Chu Baihan’s mood would grow somewhat heavy.

She had always acted with a clear conscience.

Yet, when it came to Feng Shan, that girl, she felt an extra pang of guilt.

If Feng Shan were a street beggar who had met with misfortune, she might have felt sympathy and pity, but she wouldn’t have dwelled on it for so many years.

But Feng Shan was the person she had personally saved and had promised to protect.

"Princess, what are you thinking about?" Suddenly, a faint voice reached her ears.

Chu Baihan snapped back to reality, shook her head slightly, and then spoke in a mild voice, "It’s nothing, just remembering a little girl I adopted back in the day. She brewed tea just like you."

"This servant seems to have heard the Princess mention that girl more than once. Is she that important in your heart?"

Feng Shan’s slender fingers clenched tightly around the teapot, and beneath her thick lashes, her dark eyes swirled with emotions.

Chu Baihan was unaware of his emotions and murmured softly, "Perhaps... she is very important."

After all, she was considered a sister of hers.

Hearing this, Feng Shan’s thick eyelashes trembled a few times, like the wings of a fluttering butterfly.

That heart, full of holes, seemed to be gradually filling up.

"Xinyue, you..."

"Princess, could you also call this servant ’Yueyue’?"

Just then, Feng Shan suddenly looked up, his tone serious as he asked Chu Baihan.

Chu Baihan accidentally locked eyes with him.

His dark pupils were like boundless seas that could sweep people away if they were not careful.

Chu Baihan paused for a moment.

She couldn’t fathom why the person before her had such a look in his eyes.

When she looked more closely, he had adopted a pitiful appearance.

His eyes clouded over with mist, the area around his eye sockets was damp, and his thick, long eyelashes trembled, as if tears could fall at any moment.

Chu Baihan had a strange expression on her face.

His demeanor suggested that she was the one bullying him.

Pressing her hand against her forehead, Chu Baihan said helplessly, "It’s just a name, my princess can call you whatever she wants. But ’Yueyue’ is Miss Zhu’s pet name. Why do you want to be called the same as her?"

Feeling helpless in her heart, she wondered if Chen Yuexin and Zhu Xinyue had had a falling out?

"But this servant also wants you to call her ’Yueyue’."

Feng Shan lowered his eyes, his voice trembling, as if he was suppressing something.

Seeing him like this, Chu Baihan couldn’t even bring herself to speak harshly.

"Xinyue..."

"Alright, Princess, this servant understands. This servant is lowly, and though it’s just a simple name, how could this servant compare with Miss Zhu? These days, the Princess has been so indulgent, it’s made her forget her place."

Feng Shan took a deep breath and then began to choke up.

At that moment, his shoulders shook slightly, and tears had already fallen on his cheeks.

He looked like a wronged young wife.

What a sin...

Why did Chu Baihan feel as though she were the one bullying an honest woman?
