Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Wants to Imprison Her by His Side for Life
"Your Majesty, what about Miss Liu?" At this moment, someone suggested.
The Emperor’s expression eased slightly then.
"How could I have forgotten about Shuxin? With her exceptional medical skills, she surely has a way. Summon her," he ordered sternly, turning his head.
But at this moment, Yan Jin suddenly spoke up, "Father, I too thought of Miss Liu. Today, someone was sent to the Liu Residence to invite her, but they said she has fallen ill, bedridden without the strength to even lift chopsticks, let alone treat the Princess."
Upon hearing Yan Jin’s words, Chu Baihan and Nan Xing’s expressions remained very calm.
After all, the sword that had wounded Liu Shuxin in the lake had been smeared with something.
"What? What a coincidence?"
On hearing this, the Emperor’s face turned dark instantly.
He had held Shuxin in great regard, but now that she had fallen ill at such a critical moment, he was incensed.
Glancing around, he noticed that among the many courtiers present, only Grand Tutor Liu was absent.
Could it be that the Liu Family harbored ulterior motives, which was why they had problems at such a crucial time?
Although he said nothing aloud, he was already seething with anger at the Liu Family.
It seemed Shuxin’s path ahead would no longer be smooth.
"Where is the Right Minister?" Suddenly recalling something, the Emperor asked, narrowing his eyes.
At this moment, a man dressed in a green robe stepped forward.
He appeared to be in his thirties, with small eyes that were somewhat unsettling to look at.
He approached the Emperor and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have found a doctor in the populace who specializes in treating difficult diseases. But he is not currently in the Capital City and will need at least three days to arrive here."
"What? Three more days are needed? And you promised me today that you had a solution?"
The Emperor glared at Zhuang Xiangyu, no longer finding him pleasing to the eye.
Zhuang Xiangyu bowed his head, and said resolutely, "Your Majesty, once that doctor arrives, he will surely have a way."
"Hmph, three days? The Emperor of Nanduan will have heard by then!" The Emperor was furious.
He had been trying hard to seal off the news for the past two days to prevent the Emperor of Nanduan from finding out, for if he did, Yan Country’s position would become extremely difficult.
With time so pressing, Zhuang Xiangyu actually asked him to wait three days?
Zhuang Xiangyu had not expected the Emperor to be so enraged; his face tightened with tension.
At this point, Yan Jin stepped forward, his voice lowered, "Father, our Yan Country is so far from the Nanduan Capital. Even the fastest envoy would take a month, and carrier pigeons would also take several days, so three days is still manageable. We just need to keep a close watch over the people at the Princess Residence."
After his words, the Emperor’s sharp gaze swept towards Nan Xing and her companions.
His eyes flickered briefly before he coldly declared, "The Princess needs to rest in quiet. From today on, the Princess Residence will be heavily guarded by the Imperial Army, and without an imperial order, no one is allowed to enter or leave."
Nan Xing and her companions’ complexions changed drastically.
The damn Emperor, to stop the news from spreading, actually intended to put them under house arrest!
Chu Baihan was silently taking note of their reactions and gently shook her head at them.
This move by the Emperor was something she had expected all along.
She lowered her head, trying to reduce her presence, and then stood behind Yan Lin, continuing to act as his and Yan Lian’s maid.
While Nan Xing and her companions could stay inside the Princess Residence without leaving, she... could not!
Yan Lin noticed her movements, and a flicker of emotion passed through his dark eyes. His lips pressed tightly together, but he did not expose her.
"Your Majesty, about General Chu’s matter..."
As Zhuang Xiangyu saw the mood slightly improving, he raised his head, tentatively trying to speak on Chu Hesheng’s behalf.
However, before he could finish speaking, the Emperor let out a meaningful, cold laugh, then said, "Does Zhuang Aiqing wish to plead for a man who plotted against the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom, one who sought to ruin the friendly relations between our two nations? Or perhaps, you are also complicit in this?"
Zhuang Xiangyu’s expression stiffened, and his heart sank heavily.
It seemed the Emperor was set on making Chu Hesheng a scapegoat.
Not wishing to attract trouble, Zhuang Xiangyu simply bowed his head, respectfully saying, "Your Majesty, I was confused. I have nothing more to say."
The Emperor was about to issue an order for the Imperial Army to thoroughly surround the Princess Residence when Yan Lin took a deep look at the tightly shut door and then walked toward the back of the house with Wei Jia in tow.
Seeing this, Chu Baihan naturally followed.
However, she did not expect that a certain Prince Xie Lin would have the audacity to climb through the window.
Seeing that he and Yan Lian had already entered the room with Wei Jia, she hesitated for a moment but still followed suit.
The Imperial Army was occupied with their briefing at the front, so they did not notice their entrance.
Ruolan stood inside the room, and when she saw Yan Lin come in, she immediately drew her sword and watched him warily.
Yan Lin’s indifferent gaze swept over the former maidservant of Prince Lin’s Residence. He didn’t say anything but said to Wei Jia in a faint voice, "Show her."
Ruolan wanted to stop them, but Chu Baihan silently stopped her.
Since Yan Lin so desired to see, then let him see, only then would he be able to let go of his suspicions.
Wei Jia quickly set down the medicine chest and began to take the pulse of the person on the bed.
Yan Lin watched from the side, his deep eyes staring at the person’s pale, colorless face on the bed, as if enveloped by an aura of gloom.
Really...
Will he not wake up?
Wei Jia took the pulse for a long time, and his expression gradually became more solemn, even a bit desperate.
Yan Lian watched from the side, becoming so anxious that he couldn’t help but blurt out, "Doctor Wei, how is it, can you give us a word?"
Wei Jia let out a slight sigh, then placed the person’s hand back on the bed, stood up, and turned to look at Yan Lin.
"Prince, I am also powerless."
That one sentence extinguished the last hope in Yan Lin’s heart.
He clenched his fists and turned, his dark pupils fixed on the person lying on the bed.
At that moment, a crazed thought emerged in his heart.
If she never wakes up...
Then he would hide her in Prince Lin’s Residence for a lifetime, protecting her for a lifetime.
Yes, even if she could never wake up, he would guard her for a lifetime!
Just like in the past when he was blind, but she still protected him just the same.
Thinking this, although he was still in deep grief, a tender smile appeared on his face, and he even let out a light chuckle.
The others looked at him strangely, laughing at this moment, thinking he must have gone mad?
Ruolan felt as though she would grind her teeth to dust.
Was he so happy that the Princess had met with misfortune?
Back then he wanted to kill the Princess, now that she has changed her identity, does he still want to curse her to death?
In this room, everyone had different thoughts.
After a while, Yan Lin’s dark gaze swept over Ruolan, then he said in a deep voice, "Take good care of your family’s Princess."
Having said that, he took Yan Lian and a few others and left through the window.
Chu Baihan gave Ruolan a look, and she followed them out as well.
Once outside the Princess Residence, Chu Baihan looked back to see the place was already surrounded by layers of the Imperial Army.
"Do you know why I would take you out?" Yan Lin suddenly turned around, his deep gaze falling on her.
Chu Baihan’s eyelids twitched slightly.
If it weren’t for his help just now, indeed, she wouldn’t have been able to leave so easily...
But what was his purpose?
However, facing her puzzled look, Yan Lin did not intend to tell her his purpose. He simply said in a cold voice, "During these days, you will follow Prince Lian and me."
"I absolutely..."
Chu Baihan was just about to say she would absolutely not agree.
But, Yan Lin, emotionless, continued, "Now everyone is watching the Princess Residence. If you don’t follow Prince Lian and me, where can you go? Surely you don’t have another identity?"
Hearing his last words, Chu Baihan’s eyelids twitched fiercely.
"Prince Lin must be joking. Apart from being the maidservant of the Princess, what other identity could I possibly have?"
She looked up, her expression calm as she spoke.
After a while, she reluctantly said, "I am grateful to Prince Xie Lin for lending a hand today. I will follow Prince Lian."
She had compromised...
After all, Yan Lin’s suspicion was so strong, there was no telling if he would really discover something. If that happened, she would have lost everything.
Considering, Prince Lian was slightly more pleasant to her than Yan Lin. By following him, she wouldn’t be as uncomfortable.
