What?
Upon hearing Chu Baihan’s words, Yan Lian had held a sliver of hope in his heart, but now he was extremely panicked.
“Wait, have we searched the quarters of the Princess Consort Jiang?” Chu Baihan suddenly thought of this and asked in a serious tone.
Princess Consort Jiang?
Yan Lian frowned and a glint quickly flashed in his eyes.
“Do you mean to say that this could very likely be the doing of Princess Consort Jiang?” he asked in a strange tone.
Chu Baihan nodded.
She always felt that something was off between Yan Lin and Princess Consort Jiang.
Most importantly, the ones who could freely mobilize forces within the Imperial Palace were either the Empress or the highly favored Princess Consort Jiang.
“It is unlikely that this was the doing of the Crown Prince and the Empress.
He wouldn’t be so foolish as to lure you, Brother Eight, into the palace to strike, as that would make him the prime suspect,” Chu Baihan shook her head.
Someone secure enough to hold the position of Crown Prince wouldn’t commit such a foolish act.
So, the most likely person left…
Princess Consort Jiang!
“This old witch, if she dares to harm my Brother Eight again, I will not let her off!” Yan Lian’s eyes reddened, and he turned and headed straight for Jiangxin Palace.

Again?
From his tone, it seemed like Princess Consort Jiang often harmed Yan Lin in the past.
Chu Baihan recalled the injuries that covered Yan Lin when she had seen him in the Imperial Palace years ago.
Her heart sank heavily, and she quickly turned around and followed Yan Lian.
Yan Lian, ignoring the guards of Jiangxin Palace, charged straight in.
“Who is causing a disturbance?”
Princess Consort Jiang was lying on a pearwood chair, eating grapes and fanning herself when she heard the commotion, and her expression immediately darkened.
Emerging from behind the screen, seeing it was Yan Lian, she sneered coldly.
“What brings the Ninth Prince to my quarters today, and not flattering the Empress Dowager?”
Her words were laced with scorn.
Was it just a prince without maternal family backing that dared to intrude into her palace?
“Princess Consort Jiang, was it you who took Brother Eight away?”
Staring at her, Yan Lian asked through gritted teeth.
“Oh?
The Ninth Prince can’t find Linlin?
I wouldn’t know about that, since after the last greeting day, I haven’t seen him,”
Princess Consort Jiang idly toyed with her crimson armor, speaking carelessly.
Hearing her tone, Yan Lian grew even more anxious and angry, “Princess Consort Jiang, isn’t harming Brother Eight these years enough for you, what more do you want to do to him?”
“Ninth Prince!
Mind your words in front of me.
I am Linlin’s mother; how could I possibly harm him?
It’s instead you and that Chu Baihan, who knows what kind of bewitchment you’ve used on him, making him repeatedly defy me,”
Princess Consort Jiang shouted loudly, her face once again darkening.
“Not harm him?
Then just who was it that, when Brother Eight was still a child, would punch and kick him when in a foul mood, often using the whip, to the extent that the Imperial Physician said several times that Brother Eight was nearly dead?
Is this your idea of kindness?”
Yan Lian’s veins bulged, the anger in his heart exploding.
All the suffering Brother Eight had endured in the past was given by Princess Consort Jiang.
“Also, during the dead of winter, you forced Brother Eight to wear only one layer of clothes and kneel in the snow all because he broke a cup,”
“In Brother Eight’s ninth year, because he failed to recite a satisfactory poem in front of our father, you denied him food for two days.”
“Princess Consort Jiang, you are the most cruel and vicious mother.
If Brother Eight hadn’t volunteered at the age of fifteen to go to war and gradually become a commander of tens of thousands, he would still be living under your shadow!”
Yan Lian bellowed these words.
His voice was so loud that even Chu Baihan outside could hear every word clearly.
She stopped in her tracks, her heart trembling slightly.
So, Yan Lin had endured such a life in those years.
So, all those injuries on him were inflicted by Princess Consort Jiang?
No wonder Nanny Xiao said he had lived a very harsh life.
Princess Consort Jiang, she truly is heartless!
Yan Lian took a deep breath to keep her tears from falling, but her heart still ached deeply.
Inside the room, Yan Lian continued to interrogate the Princess Consort, and Chu Baihan knew she could no longer just wait to die.
While the people of Jiangxin Palace had not yet noticed her presence, she quickly turned and ran towards the back yard.
She had originally planned to search the rooms one by one, but suddenly she noticed drips of blood in the bushes.
Her heart immediately tightened.
She hurriedly followed the trail of blood and saw a figure crouching behind a rock garden, panting.
“Prince,” Chu Baihan quickly rushed over and grabbed his arm.
Yan Lin was a bit delirious, and sensing someone approaching, he exploded in anger and flung out his hand, “Get away!”
“It’s me,” Chu Baihan quickly grabbed his palm, calling out to him anxiously.
Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Lin’s hostility and murderous intent gradually subsided.
“Chu Baihan?” he asked tentatively.
“It’s me, Prince,” Chu Baihan’s voice was slightly choked up.
She touched Yan Lin’s hand again and found it was very hot.
“What exactly did the Princess Consort do to you?” she leaned in and placed her hand on his cheek which felt as though it had been scorched, asking with deep concern.
As she leaned in, Yan Lin smelled the faint fragrance on her body, clenched his fists, his breathing changed and his Adam’s apple rolled harshly.
He gritted his teeth, as if suppressing something.
Afterward, he said hoarsely, “You, stay away from me.”
His words carried a tremor.
At that moment, Chu Baihan realized something was amiss, shocked as she looked at him.
“Prince, could it be that the Princess Consort drugged you?”
“She wants me to divorce you and marry someone else…”
Yan Lin took another deep breath, speaking with difficulty.
He didn’t elaborate further, but Chu Baihan understood.
She quickly examined him and found his thigh covered in mottled blood.
Thus, all those blood traces were his.
He had chosen self-harm to maintain clarity.
“Prince, I’ll take you back,” she quickly helped him up.
Yan Lin’s entire weight bore down on her.
Even he had not noticed that he had come to trust her even in his most vulnerable moments.
Just as Chu Baihan was aiding Yan Lin out, the people of Jiangxin Palace had already discovered them.
“By the order of the Princess Consort, the Prince must not leave Jiangxin Palace,” the lead nanny said sternly.
Why hadn’t Yan Lian arrived yet!
Chu Baihan was extremely anxious.
Yan Lin was panting beside her ear, she knew, he must be enduring immense discomfort.
But with so many people, she couldn’t cope.
“Chu Baihan, trespassing into Jiangxin Palace is a crime, seize her,” the old nanny continued ominously.
She even dropped the “Princess Consort” title and called her by name directly, showing she did not consider her important at all.
Just as those people were about to approach them, suddenly, Chu Baihan’s icy fingers were seized by a scorching hot hand.
“Chu Baihan, I entrust my life to you,” Yan Lin said hoarsely beside her ear.
In the next instant, a palm force emerged from his hand, sending several guards flying.
Chu Baihan turned pale.
He had broken through his acupoint!
