29: Chapter 29 Planning a Mutual Destruction 29: Chapter 29 Planning a Mutual Destruction “But, Prince, your eyes…”
Ziwu hesitated, his expression worried.
Yan Lin did not respond, but instead, stepped over the threshold right in front of him.
This scene completely petrified Ziwu.
After snapping back to reality, he was so excited that he almost lost his voice.
“Prince, Prince, your, your eyes…”
“I can roughly make out shapes now,” Yan Lin said indifferently, his back to him.
“Prince, the servant will go and prepare the horses right away.” Ziwu stumbled as he ran out, nearly tripping over the threshold in his excitement.
The Prince’s eyes were finally showing improvement, being able to roughly make out shapes was already tremendous news.
The Princess Consort must be okay, she has to come back to hear this great news.
…
On the mountain.
“Wait a second.”
Chu Baihan suddenly stopped, pulling Ruolan who was about to continue forward.
They had already gathered all eight required herbs, and were now on their way back, preparing to descend the mountain, but as they walked, something felt off to her.
Her sense of smell and hearing had always been slightly stronger than others, and now she heard the footsteps of people approaching, and there was more than one person.
They had been searching for herbs in this area for so long without anyone showing up, but now suddenly so many people were coming this way, there had to be a problem.
“Ruolan, hurry.” Chu Baihan pulled Ruolan’s arm, wanting to descend the mountain quickly with her.
But at that moment, several figures blocked their path.
It was…
Su Yuan!
Chu Baihan’s expression became grim.
Su Yuan narrowed his eyes, fixing them on Chu Baihan with a cold and sinister face.
“Chu Baihan, it really is you!
You actually came here to deliver yourself to death in the Princely Heir’s territory.”
He recognized her?
Chu Baihan’s heart sank.
Hadn’t she disguised herself well before, with Su Yuan failing to recognize her the previous two times?
Why did he recognize her this time?
But now was not the time to dwell on that, she pulled Ruolan back a few steps and then shouted loudly, “Run!”
But women are naturally weaker, and Su Yuan and his group had martial arts skills; it didn’t take long for them to be caught up.
Su Yuan’s gaze at her was ferocious, as if he could devour her, “Chu Baihan, you really are courting death.”
“Su Yuan, I am now the Princess Consort.
If you want to harm me, you better think carefully about the consequences,” Chu Baihan said coldly, staring at Su Yuan and warning him sternly.
At her words, Su Yuan let out a scornful laugh.
“Chu Baihan, you don’t have the favor of the Prince, he will not wage a war for your sake.
Moreover, if you die here, who would know it was the Princely Heir’s doing?
You will just become a lonely ghost, that’s all.”
Chu Baihan’s complexion became colder by degrees; she knew Su Yuan wouldn’t let her go.
“My conflict is with you, let my servant girl go, and you can do whatever you want with me.” Closing her eyes and then reopening them, Chu Baihan continued to negotiate with Su Yuan.
“Princess Consort!” Ruolan was about to cry out in desperation.
Chu Baihan shook her head at her.
She didn’t want to be implicated and drag an innocent life into this.
“Heh, how touching.
But today, the Princely Heir wants both of you dead!” Su Yuan’s eyes were filled with malicious resentment.
After speaking, he signaled his followers to come and seize them.
“Ruolan, listen to the Princess Consort, find a chance and escape,” Chu Baihan whispered in a low voice.
“No, Princess Consort, I want to be with you,” Ruolan said, crying.
The men were approaching, and Chu Baihan threw everything she had at them, causing them to dodge.
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Baihan pushed Ruolan forcefully away.
“Run, get back to the Prince Residence for help!
If you hesitate, we’ll both die,” Chu Baihan yelled.
Ruolan’s face was already covered in tears; hearing this, she bit her lip and mustered all her strength to run down the mountain.
“Damn it, don’t just stand there, go chase that wretch and bring her back for the Princely Heir!” Su Yuan was furious.
Though Yan Lin was a Prince with suspended authority, a camel starving to death was still bigger than a horse; provoking him would do no good.
This servant girl’s life could not be spared!
“Kill this wretch for the Princely Heir first,” his gaze settled on Chu Baihan, with a flash of murderous intent.
Chu Baihan tensed her body, considering if she had any chance of surviving today.
Soon, she had made up her mind.
Just as those men were about to charge at her, she unexpectedly charged at them.
This reaction scared them.
The guard who was swinging his sword paused for a moment, and taking advantage of this, she quickly stepped to the side, pouncing directly in front of Su Yuan.
Seeing her charge forward, Su Yuan laughed mockingly.
This wretch, did she think that without any inner strength she could hurt him like last time?
Last time he had been careless, but this time, she had no chance of succeeding!
He concentrated his inner strength in the palm of his hand, and as she came close, he struck her with a palm.
“Pfft,” blood sprayed from Chu Baihan’s mouth, her internal organs ached terribly, and her body trembled.
“Chu Baihan, you’re as good as dead,” Su Yuan said with a hint of satisfaction.
But at that moment, Chu Baihan revealed a mocking smile to him, “Who dies is still uncertain.”
After speaking, she pushed him hard with both hands, falling backwards with him.
She had already observed earlier, behind him there was a slope, steep and long.
If they stayed on top, certain death was unavoidable, but jumping down might offer a glimmer of hope.
As for Su Yuan, she had to drag him down, she couldn’t let him live comfortably.
“Princely Heir!”
Anxious cries came from above.
The slope was indeed steep; rolling down, they were assailed by sharp rocks.
Chu Baihan had no way of knowing how many injuries she had sustained, and her internal organs ached severely.
Soon, her consciousness began to fade.
