Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Xixi Visits Prince Residence

"The consort had heard that Chu Baihan was sent to Jiangnan the day after the Xu family’s death. At that time, her nursemaid took the Xu family’s token to enter the palace, seeking an audience with the Empress Dowager..."

Jiang Fei began to recount the events of the past again.

Outside the door, Chu Baihan’s expression was solemn.

She thought back carefully, and it seemed there was such an incident.

Back then, Chu Hesheng and his wife were resolute in sending her away.

The nursemaid said she would find a way, and then she left with a small token.

At the time, she didn’t know what the nursemaid had taken, but hearing Jiang Fei talk about it today, it could indeed have been the Xu family’s token from Marquis Residence.

Although the Marquis Residence had fallen, its token still had some utility.

However, later that night, the nursemaid rushed back with a distressed look, continually watching her and sighing with unspeakable heartache in her eyes.

Ultimately, the nursemaid packed up their belongings with her, and they hurriedly left the capital at dawn the next day.

To her death, the nursemaid never mentioned whom she had met with using that token.

"Actually, Chu Baihan’s nursemaid was almost able to meet the Empress Dowager back then. Given the Empress Dowager’s affection for the Xu family, she would naturally have offered help. But unfortunately, someone stopped Chu Baihan’s nursemaid and drove her out of the palace."

Jiang Fei continued.

"Who?" Yan Lin’s voice could barely conceal his anger.

"Your... father," Jiang Fei said with an ironic smile.

Again, his father?

What exactly was the relationship between his father, the Marquis Residence, and the Chu Family!

Yan Lin clenched his fists, his whole body exuding a deep malevolence.

"My people discovered ten years ago that Lady Xu had appeared in Jiangnan, and although I still don’t know where she is now, I hold quite a few clues. As long as you can ensure your brother’s safe birth, I will give you all these clues," Jiang Fei continued after taking a sip of hot tea, her voice calm.

From her initial loss of control to her current composure.

Because she knew that the deceased Chu Baihan was Yan Lin’s soft spot.

For the sake of Chu Baihan, he would surely investigate the matters concerning Lady Xu!

This gave her leverage over him.

"Have you finished speaking? If so, I shall take my leave," Yan Lin said coldly, then swept his sleeves and left.

Upon seeing this, Yan Lian had no choice but to quickly follow him out.

Jiang Fei’s confidant emerged from the shadows, asking with bewilderment, "My lady, Prince Lin didn’t agree to your deal just now, he..."

"Don’t worry, he will agree. After all, Chu Baihan is very important to him," Jiang Fei said with a cold snort and calm demeanor.

Soon, she looked down at her stomach, a fierce look flashing in her eyes.

"Child, you must be vigorous. The imperial throne of the Yan Family must not fall into the hands of those lowly women’s sons, nor into your brother’s hands, but only into yours," she said.

Upon hearing this, her confidant’s expression subtly changed.

Was the Empress planning for the unborn prince to compete for the throne?

For this, she had even revealed secrets she had hidden for many years.

Outside, Chu Baihan bit her teeth hard, her emotions took long to calm.

Could her mother really be alive?

What exactly was going on!

She had to find out.

Making up her mind, she immediately turned and headed toward the Chu Family’s cemetery.

Fortunately, the cemetery was within the capital and not far, so she soon arrived there.

However, just as she got there, she saw from afar Yan Lin with people from Prince Lin’s Residence digging a grave.

She clenched her fists, resisting the urge to rush forward, and just waited.

Over there.

Ziyi and his men lifted the coffin and pried it open.

"Prince, it’s empty," he said.

They looked up in shock.

Yan Lin stared at the empty coffin, other emotions also flickered through his dark eyes.

Could it be that Mrs. Xu was still alive?

Not far away, Chu Baihan heard this and staggered a bit, her eyes reddened.

Perhaps, what Princess Jiangnan said was true, her mother was still alive, her mother was still alive!

"Eighth Brother, could this be a trap set by Princess Jiangnan?" Yan Lian scratched his head, questioning with doubt.

"When the coffin was lifted earlier, the color of that soil did not look like it had been pried open recently, Mrs. Xu must have been taken away long ago." Yan Lin spoke coldly.

So, it could not be Princess Jiangnan.

"This..."

Yan Lian continued to scratch his head.

Why was this matter so tricky?

A person who had been dead for many years still managed to involve so many secrets!

"Eighth Brother, what do you plan to do?" he asked softly.

"I will thoroughly investigate this matter," Yan Lin ordered coldly, determination filling his dark eyes.

As Mrs. Xu was Chu Baihan’s adoptive mother, he had to find her for her sake!

But this kindness, when overheard by Chu Baihan from not far away, distorted in flavor.

She stared at his retreating back, her brows fiercely furrowed, her heart growing heavier.

He had already caused her death back then, and now he insisted on finding her mother—did he want to harm her mother too?

No, she would never allow such a thing to happen!

She had to find her mother before he did!

Determined, Chu Baihan quickly turned around.

Tonight, she had to call upon the people of Tianye.

...

In an old, dilapidated courtyard in the capital city.

A group of people in black gathered, bowing respectfully, "Master."

Chu Baihan stood before them, her expression cold, her voice serious, "Those originally investigating the Yan Country National Treasury, continue your investigation. Others, I have a different task for you. I want to know every detail about the Chu Family’s affairs over the past twenty-plus years within three days."

"Yes, Master."

The people in black nodded immediately.

Their mission was to obey the master.

"By the way, the matter about Xixi I asked you to look into a few days ago, any news?"

Remembering this, Chu Baihan looked at the man in black on the far left, her question urgent.

"Reporting to the Princess, there is no news yet," the man in black spoke up immediately, his voice a bit loud.

Chu Baihan’s gaze instantly turned stern.

She stared at him for a long time, sharply speaking, "Wuji, are you certain... there is really no news?"

Wuji had been with her the longest among her subordinates, so she was somewhat familiar with his disposition.

He was usually stable and spoke evenly, never hasty or anxious, but just now... he seemed a bit anxious.

Under her sharp gaze, Wuji’s body and expression grew increasingly stiff.

"The day you decided to follow me, I said never to lie to me. Otherwise, leave Tianye immediately," Chu Baihan’s voice turned cold.

Upon hearing this, Wuji’s expression grew incredibly solemn.

His life had been saved by the master, and he had sworn in his heart to follow her forever, to repay her.

Thus, he could never leave Tianye!

"Master, I will speak. Actually, the young master has already arrived in Yan Country," he said, his voice forced.

"What?" Chu Baihan’s expression could no longer remain calm.

Xixi had actually come to Yan Country.

"Where is he now?" she asked urgently.

"He, he has gone to Prince Lin’s residence," Wuji continued, still reluctant.
