Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Yan Lin Discovers Her Identity?

"Enough, destroy the Chu Family and the Liu Family, take out the Snow Ganoderma from the National Treasury, and we must leave Yan Country as soon as possible," Chu Baihan frowned in response.

Staying in Yan Country one more day meant one more day of variables.

As for her vengeance against Yan Xiao, as well as Yan Lin, she would settle the score slowly after she returned to Nanduan Kingdom...

In Yan Country, she always felt restrained.

"What about Xixi? Has he returned?" Chu Baihan remembered a certain Little Tuanzi, and her expression immediately became stern.

Wuji’s face stiffened as he braced himself and said, "Your Highness, the young master has already been ’invited’ back by us."

That "invited" was truly subtle.

Chu Baihan knew that the process must have not gone smoothly.

Exhaling a sigh, she spoke hoarsely, "Let’s go back and see Xixi first."

It was still that separate courtyard.

As soon as Chu Baihan pushed the door open, she saw a certain Little Tuanzi sitting cross-legged on a stone bench, lost in thought.

Seeing her return, he quickly jumped down, ran over rapidly, and in a soft and tender voice said, "Mother, I know I was wrong."

Looking at his face, which bore such a close resemblance to Yan Lin’s, a sharp pain flashed through Chu Baihan’s eyes.

"If the Hidden Guards hadn’t tied you up to bring you back, would you not be willing to return?" she asked helplessly.

Chu Junxi’s gaze was still serious as he muttered, "Mother came to Yan Country for me and has to endure so much. I wanted to help you in my own way, not to become a burden to you."

The last two words, "a burden," made Chu Baihan feel as if her heart was clogged with a suffocating heaviness.

She raised her hand, gently smoothing his furrowed brows with her fingers.

"Xixi, you have never been a burden to your mother."

During those days when life was worse than death, he was her one and only hope.

As she spoke, tears began to well up in Chu Baihan’s eyes.

"Mother, please don’t cry," Little Tuanzi said in a fluster, trying to wipe away Chu Baihan’s tears.

Chu Baihan, on the other hand, gently stroked his head and said, "Xixi, give your mother a little more time. I must get the Snow Ganoderma so you can be as healthy as the other children."

Little Tuanzi then asked earnestly, "Mother, if I get better, will you not be so tired anymore and also be happy?"

Chu Baihan sighed inwardly, and in the end, she nodded.

"Alright, I won’t cause trouble, let’s quickly get the Snow Ganoderma," Little Tuanzi nodded resolutely.

"Today, what were you doing at Prince Lin’s residence?" Chu Baihan sat him down on the stone bench, asking patiently.

"I went to steal keys. I heard that Prince Lin has the keys to the National Treasury, so I just..."

A certain Little Tuanzi explained nervously, rubbing his fingers together.

That’s how it was.

Chu Baihan pressed her temples, looking helpless.

She said calmly, "I’ve already got the keys."

"Ah?" Chu Junxi looked up in shock.

"Oh, had I known, I would’ve come to find you, Mother. Then I wouldn’t have needed to go to Prince Lin’s residence, almost getting caught," Chu Junxi smacked his head in annoyance.

"You’re lucky you escaped quickly. However, even though we now have the keys, getting into the National Treasury will still be difficult," Chu Baihan frowned lightly.

But, she didn’t want to trouble Little Tuanzi with these matters, so she smiled and said, "Don’t worry, your mother will handle all these issues."

"Now, you should go rest. Tomorrow, I will have someone send you back to Nanduan Kingdom," Chu Baihan continued to instruct.

Xixi staying in Yan Country made her uneasy.

It was best to send him back to Nanduan Kingdom as soon as possible.

Although in Nanduan Kingdom there were people she had to be wary of, she was better off than in Yan Country.

Little Tuanzi furrowed his brows, wanting to stay here to accompany her. But then he thought that he might become a burden to her, so he suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

He said earnestly, "Okay, Mother, Xixi will listen to your arrangements."

After bringing him into the house and watching him fall asleep, Chu Baihan’s heart finally settled down.

But as she pushed the door to leave, Wuji came rushing in with news.

"Princess, there’s trouble! Yan Lin, I don’t know if he is bewitched or what, ran to the Yan Lian’s Prince Residence in the middle of the night and specifically asked to see you."

Although Chu Baihan was out handling affairs, she had not forgotten that she currently had the identity of "Dongxia," so she had arranged for people to watch over Yan Lian’s Prince Residence, to immediately inform her if anything was amiss.

Yan Lin going to Yan Lian’s Prince Residence in the dead of night?

Chu Baihan’s eyelids twitched violently, a sense of uneasiness rising inexplicably within her.

"You stay with Xixi. Arrange for people to escort him back to Nanduan Kingdom tomorrow," Chu Baihan ordered in a calm voice.

"Yes, Princess."

Chu Baihan dared not delay; she quickly made her way towards Yan Lian’s Prince Residence.

In Yan Lian’s courtyard, Yan Lin sat there, sipping tea.

He took sip after sip, his eyes growing increasingly somber, leaving no one to guess what he was truly thinking.

At that moment, Yan Lian ran in, still covering his swollen face.

"Eighth Brother, didn’t you hear that something has happened? Chu Hesheng in the Sky Prison has been poisoned!" he said anxiously.

However, upon hearing his words, Yan Lin’s expression was calm, seemingly untouched.

Seeing him like this, Yan Lian became even more anxious, "Eighth Brother, did you not hear clearly what I just said? I said Chu Hesheng, whom you personally threw into the Sky Prison, has been poisoned. You haven’t had the chance to deal with him, yet someone else has beat you to it!"

"The poison he has been afflicted with is potent, but it’s nothing serious, right?"

Suddenly, Yan Lin put down his teacup, looked up, and his deep gaze fixed on him.

Yan Lian stiffened, muttering to himself, "So you’ve already looked into this matter, Eighth Brother."

"No, that was my guess," Yan Lin said indifferently.

A guess, just a guess?

"How come, Eighth Brother, your guess is exactly the same as what the Imperial Physician said?" Yan Lian’s eyes widened in utter surprise.

Yan Lin lowered his gaze to his well-defined fingers, a fleeting gleam flashing through the depths of his eyes.

"Am I also one of your pawns?" he murmured softly, his voice tinged with weariness.

To deal with the Chu Family, you pretended to be in trouble. Even my concern... you calculated that into your plans, didn’t you?

Now, I’ve arrested Chu Hesheng, who are you planning to use him against?

Yan Lian, hearing this murmur, was completely bewildered.

What did Eighth Brother mean?

"What about that maid?" Raising his head, Yan Lin’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

That maid?

Yan Lian hesitated for a moment before realizing that Eighth Brother must be speaking of Dongxia.

"I’ve already ordered someone to summon her just now. I assume she’s already asleep; otherwise, why hasn’t she arrived after so long?"

Having found a spot to sit, Yan Lian began to grumble.

"Is it because she’s already asleep, or is it that she is no longer in the residence?" Yan Lin raised an eyebrow, his gaze dark and intense as if in the depths of black ink.

"Ziyi, go search her quarters," Yan Lin commanded again, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
