My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 60 - Suddenly Encountering an Assassin

Those chilly eyes of hers still harbored an unresolved hatred.

Yan Lin’s gaze slightly deepened.

She hated him!

But if she was the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom, he had never interacted with her before, so why would she hate him?

“The Princess seems amiable with Prince Jin, but why does she act aggressively toward me?

Could it be that I have wronged you in some way before?”

Staring at her, Yan Lin’s tone gradually sharpened.

He urgently wanted to know the truth.

Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan’s lips curled up slightly, her demeanor sarcastic: “A noble figure like Prince Lin, how could you ever offend me?

I simply…

despise you, that’s all.”

Having said this, she pulled out her dagger.

By now, the blade was already stained with blood, even her fingers were smeared with it.

With disgust, she threw the dagger to the ground, then strenuously wiped the blood off the back of her hand with a handkerchief.

She wished she could erase everything connected to him.

Watching her actions, Yan Lin’s breathing intensified sharply.

He felt that they must have known each other before.

“Xingxing, let’s go,” Chu Baihan said in a subdued voice to Nan Xing.

Nan Xing was fighting fiercely with Ziyi, not distinguishing friend from foe, but upon hearing Chu Baihan’s words, she quickly retracted her sword.

At that moment, Yan Lian couldn’t help but tentatively ask, “Um, Princess, my royal brother is so gravely injured—are you just going to leave like this?”

“What, does Prince Nine want me to stay and join the feast?” Chu Baihan retorted bluntly.

Yan Lian: “…”

Initially, the Princess had been quite polite to him; why was she so irritable today?

It made him feel as though if he dared to speak further about his eighth brother, she might lash out at him as well.

“Princess, you previously mentioned your medical skills.

Perhaps you could dress Eighth Prince’s wounds—otherwise, it might be difficult to explain when this reaches our father,” he continued, risking another proposition.

His thought was simple: to closely observe whether her acupuncture skills were truly like those of Eighth Prince’s wife.

But Chu Baihan flatly refused, “I have a principle, which is…

stray dogs yapping by the roadside and people I dislike, I shall not save.”

Hearing her words, the expressions of Yan Lian and the others became indescribable.

Ziyi looked at their lord with concern.

Was the Princess really comparing their lord to a stray dog barking by the roadside?

“Princess…” Yan Lian still wanted to say something.

But Chu Baihan directly interrupted with cold severity, “Prince Nine, if you wish to continue babbling, you may well shut up now.”

Shut up?

The Princess truly was indifferent.

Yan Lian gulped down hard.

Chu Baihan no longer wanted to waste words with them and stepped over the threshold to leave.

But at that moment, she sensed something was amiss.

She quickly turned around and, with a cold tone, questioned Yan Lin, “What does Prince Lin mean by having people ambush me here?”

Yan Lin’s expression was also very serious.

His thin lips moved slightly as he said hoarsely, “The people lurking in the shadows were not arranged by me.”

He was not so despicable as to ambush her.

Ambush?

It was then that Yan Lian realized there were many unfamiliar presences in the shadows.

This is bad!

Someone had ambushed them!

“Xingxing, be careful.”

An arrow flew in from the window, and Chu Baihan quickly pulled Nan Xing to safety.

The assassins who rushed in were clearly killers, exuding an intense aura of murder with every move aiming for vital points.

“The Princess Consort indeed has many enemies,” Yan Lin remarked as he drew his sword and chopped off an assassin’s arm, then coldly spoke to Chu Baihan.

“Although my enemies could fill Nanduan Kingdom, they are not likely to pursue me thousands of miles to Yan Country.

Prince Lin might want to consider whether these people have come for you.”

Chu Baihan was quick and ruthless with her moves, snapping an assassin’s neck before bluntly rebutting Yan Lin.

The assassins were skilled in martial arts, making it very awkward for Yan Lian to dodge.

As he looked up, he could hear his Eighth Brother and the Princess Consort shirking their responsibilities.

He couldn’t help but interject, “They are not here for you, but for the Fifth Brother.”

What?

They were after Yan Jin?

Chu Baihan’s eyelids twitched severely, and turning, she indeed saw the assassins focusing their attack toward the unconscious Yan Jin.

She instantly understood.

If anything happened to Yan Jin while he was with her, she would be the most suspected.

And with her background from Nanduan Kingdom…

It could very likely provoke a conflict between the two countries.

Yan Lin naturally realized this as well.

Although he always thought Yan Jin deserved to die, it shouldn’t be in such a manner!

So, he also rushed over.

“To the left!”

With so many assassins, Chu Baihan couldn’t handle them alone.

Seeing Yan Lin coming to help, she took the opportunity to kill the assassins on her side while reminding Yan Lin to protect the unconscious Yan Jin, “On the right, three people.”

Hearing Chu Baihan’s words, Yan Lin had a momentary lapse.

He seemed to return to those days.

Back on Bright Moon Mountain, when his eyes had not fully recovered, his Princess Consort used to remind him in the same way when they were fighting off a pack of wolves.

“Have you gone mad?

This is not the way to die.”

Suddenly, Chu Baihan blocked an assassin’s sneak attack for him, and she angrily spoke to him.

To be distracted during such dangerous times.

Although she also wouldn’t mind him dying, his death at her side right now would bring trouble to Nanduan Kingdom!
