My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 99: Her Hatred Towards the Liu Family

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Her Hatred Towards the Liu Family

"Did he ever leave the Eastern Palace?" Chu Baihan continued to ask sternly.

"Replying to the County Lord, we have been monitoring since last night and have not seen him leave the Eastern Palace," Wuji quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, a gleam flashed through Chu Baihan’s eyes.

She slowly stood up from the chair and then said calmly, "On the day Yan Jin and I were assassinated, I had no clues about who was responsible, yet someone even tried to implicate Nanduan Kingdom..."

"It was only later, when Yan Xiao revealed he knew my true identity, that I made a bold guess. Perhaps the one who sent people to assassinate Yan Jin and me didn’t really want to hurt us, nor did he plan to implicate Nanduan Kingdom; he simply... wanted to test me."

"If it really was a test, then the Crown Prince Yan Xiao is the most suspect. Tonight, I have made such a big fuss, it’s unlikely he can sit still. But he has yet to make a move, probably because the thing I sent him had an effect..."

Lowering her eyes, Chu Baihan calmly analyzed.

In fact, sending something to Yan Xiao was the most dangerous move she had made.

If the mastermind behind initially wasn’t Yan Xiao, she might have angered him and revealed even more secrets.

But the facts proved that she had guessed right!

"Whether Yan Xiao is hesitating to scheme against us because he was poisoned, or because he is interested in my actions, we must seize this opportunity. Wuji, we don’t have much time left," she said looking at Wuji, speaking seriously.

"Wuji listens attentively to the Princess’s orders!" Wuji spoke respectfully.

"Regarding Nanduan Kingdom, I cannot stay away for long, and Jinjin’s illness cannot be delayed. This time, we must destroy the Chu Family and the Liu Family," she said expressionlessly.

"So, Princess..."

"With this matter causing such a stir, the Emperor won’t let it ferment too long. Today, he will definitely question Chu Hesheng and Liu Cheng. So, it’s time for the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom to wake up!"

As she spoke these words, a fierce light flashed in Chu Baihan’s eyes.

An hour later, a maid came to her door.

"Lady Dongxia, are you up? The Prince is looking for you."

Soon, the door was pushed open.

"Let’s go," the person inside said coldly.

The maid furrowed her brow.

Was it her imagination?

Why did she feel Dongxia was acting odd?

The Dongxia she met yesterday, though also cold in demeanor, didn’t give such an aloof impression.

But Dongxia at this moment was altogether unapproachable.

Never mind, it must be her overthinking.

It’s normal for people’s emotions to change.

She quickly dismissed her strange thoughts.

Dongxia soon arrived in the hall.

Yan Lian and Yan Lin were both here.

The moment Dongxia entered, Yan Lin’s piercing gaze landed on her.

"It’s said that there exists a Disguise Technique so skilled on this earth that even using ordinary water to wash it off will not reveal it. Have you heard of it?" he asked Dongxia coldly, his words probing.

Dongxia, however, looked up unabashedly and said, "Are you suspecting me of using a disguise, my lord? Why would a mere maid like me need to use a disguise?"

"I have already ordered Qingtong Water to be brought here. This water can reveal any disguise. Would you dare to try it?" he asked, narrowing his eyes and speaking harshly.

Last night, after much thought, he finally understood why he always felt something was off about her.

Her demeanor and actions were just too much like Chu Baihan.

The one lying in bed, that must be the real Dongxia.

And she, she must be Chu Baihan!

Why do you always deceive me, even though you’re right by my side?

Beneath his long sleeves, Yan Lin’s fingers clenched tightly, silently suppressing the agony within his heart.

"Although I do not know why you would suspect me, my lord, if washing my face can dispel your doubts, I am naturally willing,"

Looking at the basin of water being brought in, Dongxia spoke calmly.

He was indeed impressive, having even found the Qingtong Water.

This was the nemesis of all masters of disguise...

But what did she have to fear?

She walked briskly to the lake, then submerged her entire face in the water.

Yan Lin clenched his fists tighter and his breathing changed.

Rising from his chair, his piercing eyes never left her.

He thought that if she reverted to her original appearance, he would rush over to hold her and share the longing he had harbored for so many years.

However, when Dongxia lifted her head from the water, he froze.

Her face hadn’t changed at all!

Why was this so?

"Ziyi, could you have taken the wrong water?" he turned and asked sharply.

Ziyi frowned and shook his head, "Prince, it is indeed Qingtong Water."

If there was nothing wrong with the water, then what was the mistake?

Just then, Ziwu rushed in from outside.

He did not even bother with formalities, speaking very anxiously, "My Lord, the Princess has awakened and has now entered the Imperial Palace."

What?

Yan Lin’s expression changed dramatically.

Why did she choose to "awaken" right at this critical moment?

That’s right, the Chu Family and the Liu Family?!

Today, Father Emperor would definitely interrogate Chu Hesheng and Liu Cheng.

He could understand her hatred for the Chu Family.

But why was she persistently targeting the Liu Family?

Could it be related to the incident that befell her years ago?

With his heart tightened, Yan Lin said sternly, "Someone, prepare a horse for me, I must also enter the Imperial Palace!"

"But my Lord, the Emperor is still having the Imperial Army seal the palace gates, the Princess can enter because she received a summons, others cannot enter or leave the Imperial Palace."

Ziwu said with forced bravery.

"I must enter the palace today!" he stated coldly, his tone leaving no room for argument.

He needed to know what really happened back then.

Hearing his forceful tone, Ziwu did not dare delay and quickly ran to prepare the horse.

"Your Lordship, you really know how to spin me around," Yan Lin said sharply as he glanced at Dongxia before he left.

Dongxia snorted coldly, her words loaded with meaning, "Lord Lin, he who harms others, will himself be harmed."

What did she mean by that?

Yan Lin paused in his steps, his brows furrowing tightly.

But Dongxia had no intention of explaining further, turning around and leaving.

The guard who had come with Ziyi suddenly said in a strange tone, "Prince, the Princess deliberately sent for Miss Liu to accompany her into the palace before she entered."

Liu Shuxin?

What does this have to do with Liu Shuxin?

Could it be that Liu Shuxin had wronged her in the past, such that she insists the Liu Family must pay a price!

...

In the Imperial Study.

Chu Hesheng and the recently summoned Liu Cheng were still unaware that Chu Baihan had already "awakened," and they were now fighting like dogs.

"Emperor, in order to shut my mouth, the Grand Tutor actually dared to poison me. Please, I beseech you to uphold justice for me,"

Chu Hesheng banged his head on the floor, then spoke with grievous lament.

"Chu Hesheng, do not slander me so, how could I poison you?"

"Then explain why your token was found in Sky Prison?"
