My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 69 - Princess’s Maid Named Nan Xing

Upon hearing this, the guard hastily admitted fault, “I acknowledge my mistake; it won’t happen again.”

“This Princess Residence is not really our princess’s home but merely a cage under surveillance.

As for the medicinal herbs the princess needs, go out and buy them.

Remember, avoid the spies of Yan Country, understand?” the Deputy General continued to instruct earnestly.

“Understood, Deputy General.”

“Continue your patrol.”

Soon, their figures gradually moved away.

Meanwhile, a figure emerged from behind the rockery.

Ziyi looked shocked.

Nan Xing, Ruolan, such familiar names!

Weren’t these two the maids of the Princess Consort from years ago?

Yet now they’ve become the names of the Nanduan Kingdom’s Senior Princess.

She must have changed their names for a reason, surely to conceal something.

No, this matter must be reported to the Prince!

Feeling a mix of shock and excitement within her, Ziyi didn’t dare to dally even for a moment and immediately turned around to find her master.

At this time, Yan Lin and Yan Lian had already arrived at the front courtyard.

“Eighth brother, about that Senior Princess…” Yan Lian frowned, hesitating for a long time.

Eventually, he couldn’t hold back and continued, “Although I also think she resembles the eighth brother’s wife, it’s common for people to look alike.

With such a noble identity, she would not wish to resemble another person, right?

To say she is deliberately impersonating the eighth brother’s wife seems a bit offensive.”

What he implied was that the eighth brother’s words had been somewhat harsh earlier, and it was no wonder that the Senior Princess was so angry.

“Eighth brother, your wife has been gone for so many years now; actually, you could try to move on…”

Yan Lian sighed.

He indeed once hoped for a strong bond between his eighth brother and sister-in-law.

But watching his eighth brother trapped in the past and unable to move on for these six years had been distressing to him.

“Eighth brother, none of us can fathom the Emperor’s thoughts.

But the one thing I am sure of is, he likely does not wish for the Crown Prince to marry Nan Baihan.

I think you could try to contest this.

After all, the residence of the Prince should have a lady master,” Yan Lian quietly suggested.

“Are you suggesting that I marry another woman?”

Yan Lin’s gaze towards Yan Lian grew more murderous, and his tone turned utterly cold.

Yan Lian nervously swallowed.

Why did he feel like his brother was about to chop off his head at this moment?

“Eighth brother, that Senior Princess from Nanduan Kingdom is beautiful and talented, and she even knows martial arts, though her temper could use some work.

But isn’t she very similar to the eighth sister-in-law?

You really could consider…”

“She is unique, irreplaceable.

If you speak such words to me again, you need not set foot in Yan Residence again,”

Yan Lin coldly cut off Yan Lian’s words, his body radiating an air of fury that he could not dispel.

What he despised the most were substitutes.

Had his Princess Consort been alive, she would have never wished for anyone to be her substitute.

Yan Lian forced a bitter smile.

Indeed, there was no negotiating this matter.

“But if Nan Baihan were to marry the Crown Prince, then they would have even more leverage against us,” Yan Lian said helplessly.

The Crown Prince had never intended to let Yan Residence off the hook.

Especially after the eighth brother’s sight was restored, the relationship between Yan Residence and the Eastern Palace was like fire and water.

Should the Crown Prince gain the support of Nanduan Kingdom, Yan Residence would be in danger.

“If you are so eager to rely on a political marriage for power, then go and snatch Nan Baihan for yourself.

That way, the Crown Prince won’t be able to marry her,” said Yan Lin, annoyed by Yan Lian’s pestering, straight to the point.

He had declared years ago that Yan Residence would only have one lady master.

Even if Chu Baihan were dead, she would forever be the lady master of Yan Residence, and he would not remarry.

If Yan Lian was so determined, he should find a way to marry Nan Baihan himself.

Hearing Yan Lin’s words, Yan Lian’s expression twisted for a while.

In the end, it was as if he suddenly had a revelation.

His eyes lit up considerably.

“Eighth brother, you’ve actually given me a brilliant idea.

After all, I have no power; even with Nanduan Kingdom’s help, I can’t cause any stir.

If I were to marry Nan Baihan, it would probably just settle one of the Emperor’s worries,”

After all, if the major princes each with great military power, like the eldest brother, the Crown Prince, or the eighth brother were to marry Nan Baihan, it would be akin to adding wings to a tiger, leaving the Emperor sleepless.

“Eighth brother, I will go to the palace first.”

The more Yan Lian spoke, the more brilliant he thought this idea was.

He waved his hand and turned directly to head to the palace.

Watching Yan Lian’s departing figure, Yan Lin slightly frowned but didn’t stop him, for Nan Baihan was not Chu Baihan and not worth his concern.

Just at this time, Ziyi arrived in a hurry.

“My lord, I have urgent news to report.

Just now, in the back courtyard, I overheard the guards of Nanduan Kingdom addressing their Senior Princess’s maids as ‘Lady Nan Xing’ and ‘Lady Ruolan,'” he reported solemnly.

What?

The teacup in Yan Lin’s hand turned into powder as he swiftly rose from the stone bench, panic finally showing in his icy eyes.

His ears kept replaying the words she often said to him back then.

“My lord, I will detoxify you, in exchange, would you help me rescue Nan Xing?”

Nan Xing, Nan Xing…

She was her maid!

“Quick, intercept Ninth Prince!”
