My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 292: Turning Against Each Other

"I am willing to hunt for the Princess," he declared.

At that moment, Shi Jing quickly stood up.

This act was like a thunderbolt out of the blue.

Everyone understood clearly, General Shi was... harboring intentions towards the Princess.

"Shi Jing!"

Nan Li put his teacup down on the table. His voice was extremely cold, carrying a hint of warning.

He had warned him earlier, not to harbor any ideas about Xiaobai.

Shi Jing glanced sideways at Nan Li, his expression very calm.

A few days ago, the Crown Prince had indeed spoken to him.

The Crown Prince implied that there were not many young and talented men in the court, and it was very likely that he would be chosen as the Princess’s husband. He could choose any Princess, but the only exception was the Princess.

At that time, he had made it clear to the Crown Prince that he had no interest in any Princess and had told the Crown Prince to be at ease.

So, he was now reneging on his promise.

"I apologize, Crown Prince," he whispered.

Nan Li’s slender eyes grew even more somber.

So, had Shi Jing reached some agreement with the Emperor?

Chu Baihan was also confused at this time.

What exactly was going on?

Wasn’t Shi Jing always at odds with her? Why was he now willing to hunt for her?

Before she could figure it out, the man by her side, a certain King Lin, stood up.

His voice was icy and unequivocal, "Your Majesty, I too will hunt with the Princess."

He used the word "with."

The crowd nearby was even more shocked.

So, the rumors of these days were not false; the Tang Sect Master indeed had designs on their Princess.

How could this be good? They did not wish to become targets of public criticism!

Many of the older Ministers at this time remained silent, their mouths shut tight, their brows could trap a few flies.

"Sister, look, though you cannot hunt, so many are willing to help you. You really are fortunate,"

Nan Leshi spoke sarcastically at this moment.

Chu Baihan’s cold gaze swept over.

She was considering whether she should poison the other’s teacup to shut her up.

Seeing Yan Lin rise, Nan Shi’s face darkened.

His intentions were so obvious, yet Yan Lin was still oblivious.

Enough, it was time to make him give up.

So, he spoke sternly, "Tang Sect Master, you are a guest of Nanduan Kingdom. You don’t need to hunt for Hanhan. We have plenty of capable men in Nanduan Kingdom. Shi Jing can..."

Chu Baihan understood everything upon hearing this.

The Emperor actually intended to pair her with Shi Jing?

In that moment, Chu Baihan felt both ridiculous and pathetic.

Emperor, had you considered her feelings?

He clearly knew...

Tang Sect Master was Yan Lin, her husband in Yan Country, and the father of their two little ones.

"Father, I believe that Tang Sect Master’s suggestion is excellent. I have long heard that his riding skills are unrivaled, and today would be a perfect occasion to witness them,"

Chu Baihan quickly stood up, interrupting Nan Shi’s speech.

"Hanhan, you..."

Nan Shi’s expression turned slightly angry.

Did she know what she was doing?

She was choosing Yan Lin in front of all the Ministers?

The identity of Yan Lin, Tang Sect Master would bring endless trouble to her. At tomorrow’s early court, there might just be a plethora of accusations against her.

Chu Baihan was well aware of what Nan Shi was thinking at this moment.

But this outcome was not what she wanted.

She looked at Nan Shi with a desolate expression.

To avoid endangering Nanduan Kingdom and to spare her father the Emperor any difficulty, she maintained a distance from Yan Lin in public as much as possible.

Even just now, they had deliberately avoided each other.

Yet the Emperor kept pressing her relentlessly.

"Father, if you press your servant thus, your servant can only keep defying you." Taking a deep breath, Chu Baihan suppressed the bitterness in her eyes and murmured in her heart.

"Brother Emperor, this servant also believes it best to invite the Tang Sect Master. It would compensate for Hanhan’s inability to join the autumn hunt this year and allow us to witness the Tang Sect Master’s elegance," Nan Xu said with a beard-stroking chuckle to Nan Shi at that moment.

How could he not cherish such a perfect opportunity to stir up discord between father and daughter?

Naturally, Nan Shi understood Nan Xu’s intentions, and his face darkened a few shades.

Just then, the ministers who supported Nan Xu also joined in chorus.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks the Tang Sect Master’s suggestion is very good."

"Your Majesty, this servant feels the same way."

"Your Majesty, please let the Tang Sect Master have a try."

"..."

Nan Shi felt overwhelmed, and he cast a stern look at Chu Baihan.

That look clearly demanded that Chu Baihan back down and not fall into Uncle Emperor Xu’s trap.

But Chu Baihan withdrew her gaze, unwilling to comply with his wishes.

Was she really going to defy him again and again?

Nan Shi’s expression gradually turned to disappointment.

FInally, he clenched his teeth, as if venting his anger, and said, "So be it, let Tang Ze and Hanhan hunt together."

If she insisted on trying, then he would let her regret it!

What he said was "with," not "for," fully supporting Yan Lin’s earlier proposal.

Nan Xu’s eyes flashed with triumphant glee upon hearing these words.

The relationship between these two father and daughter was thoroughly ruptured.

Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor, I am curious to see how long you can hold onto this Dragon Throne without Chu Baihan’s support.

Over these twenty-odd years, he had only seen two people as his rivals.

One was Nan Li, and the other was Chu Baihan.

Back then, when father passed the throne to Brother Emperor, he was furious.

But he quickly calmed down because he knew clearly that the Emperor had left many messes, and his hesitating, emotionally driven Brother Emperor might not handle them well.

So, he watched quietly and gathered his forces in secret, waiting for the right moment to seize power.

But unexpectedly, with Qiang Family woman’s support, Brother Emperor gradually settled all the messes.

Brother Emperor’s prestige among the people also grew higher and higher.

That was when he began to feel a sense of crisis and thus started undermining Brother Emperor in secret.

He thought Brother Emperor and Empress Qiang would not last long, but who would have expected...

Nan Li caught him off guard.

At that time, Nan Li was only eight years old and frail but extremely intelligent; every piece of advice he gave Brother Emperor hit the mark.

Ever since, he had been embroiled in a long, hidden struggle with Nan Li.

The Imperial Physician said Nan Li should have died at twenty-four. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

He thought his great plan was about to succeed.

But then Chu Baihan emerged unexpectedly.

She, a woman, was able to offer counsel at court and lead troops in battle.

Her medical skills were even more extraordinary, capable of prolonging Nan Li’s life; the people of Nanduan Kingdom revered her like a deity.

She was far more difficult to deal with than Nan Li.

The two siblings had always been thorns in his side.

Today, seeing them fall out with Nan Shi, he felt greatly exhilarated.
