Yan Lian looked puzzled, and he asked Yan Lin with his eyes.

Brother Eight Emperor, Sister Eight Emperor, what does this mean?
Even though they were not close to Aunt Huang, they wouldn't come to her house secretly.

Now he finally understands why Eight Emperor's Wife asked Wuji and others to fill the carriage with water before departure.

However, he didn't understand why the Eight Emperor's Wife entered the princess mansion in this way.

Yan Lin's eyes darkened again.

"You just follow her whatever she does, why are there so many?" He said coldly.

"Oh..." Yan Lian pouted.

"Oh, with the Eighth Emperor's Sister-in-law, Brother Huang started to despise me." He muttered aggrievedly.

In the end, Ziying and Ziwu whispered in his ear respectively: "Lord Ninth, you seem to have made a mistake. Our master has always disliked you, regardless of whether the princess is there or not."

Yanlian: "..."

What did these two people eat before going out today, and their words are so ugly!
From the moment Chu Baihan entered the door, his observing eyes never retracted.

It is heard that Princess Chunjing's mother and concubine were not favored back then, and she did not have a brother of the same mother.

So after the emperor ascended the throne, she married her bodyguard and followed her bodyguard back to the south of the Yangtze River.

The emperor wished that these people who were not close to him would go far away, so he gave the guard a leisurely official position, and also gave Chun Jing a good dowry to marry her to Jiangnan.

It is said that the son-in-law passed away two years ago, and only Princess Chunjing and her child are left in the princess mansion.

"Do you think there is something wrong with this princess mansion?"

Chu Baihan suddenly stopped slightly, then turned to ask Yan Lin and Yan Lian.

"This princess mansion is very dilapidated." Yan Lin said directly.

Hearing this, Chu Baihan nodded.

That's right, it's old.

Although the mansion is spacious and there are quite a lot of decorations inside, it looks like it was arranged more than ten years ago.

"That's normal. My uncle has an official position and doesn't have much money. Although the dowry was a lot back then, after so many years, it can't afford it. The emperor will not give a salary to a princess who has married far away. So, if my aunt If you can't make money by yourself, it's normal for the princess mansion to be down." Yan Lin explained in a deep voice at this time.

That's the case, Chu Baihan nodded.

But the emperor is really cruel enough.

No matter what the princess is, she is also of royal blood, so she completely abandons it like this, which is probably impossible for royal families in other countries.

"Everyone, just wait here. When the Eldest Princess wakes up, I will report to her." The servant said politely.

"it is good."

Seeing those servants leave, Chu Baihan withdrew his gaze.

They are standing in a pavilion now, but the pool around the pavilion has dried up, and the lotus flowers are also withered.

"This severe drought has had a great impact on the south of the Yangtze River." Yan Lian sighed.

But Chu Baihan had no intention of responding to him.

She walked out of the pavilion slowly, and then looked at the early dawn not far away.

"In the Princess Mansion, you can actually see the tower peak." She murmured softly.

Yan Lin got up and came to her side.

He looked up and saw the tallest tower in the south of the Yangtze River standing there.

"But remember the scene when you came out of the secret passage?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, where is that place? Is there another road leading to it?"

Chu Baihan shook his head and muttered.

It seems that if she has time, she still has to go back to that ruined temple.

"Hiss, this tea is so sweet." Yan Lian took a sip of the tea, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Sweet?"

When Chu Baihan heard this, she also felt parched, so she turned and went back to the stone bench.

Picking up the teacup, she looked at it carefully before gulping it down.

But after she finished drinking the tea, her eyes could not help but flash a little light.

"Yes, this tea is sweet and refreshing." She nodded in agreement.

Hearing what the two of them said, Yan Lin also picked up the teacup.

"Why does this tea seem to be brewed with mist?"

After taking a sip, he lowered his eyes and said in a strange tone.

"Brother Eight Emperors, you are really confused. In this severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, everything is dry, and the grass and trees are dying. Where did the fog come from?"

Yan Lian waved her hand and spoke disapprovingly.

But even after he said that, the suspicion in Yan Lin's eyes still didn't diminish.

Chu Baihan also picked up the teacup, his thoughts turned and turned.

At this time, the servants of the Princess Mansion hurried over.

"I'm really sorry. Our princess feels unwell today, so it's inconvenient to see guests. Please forgive me. This is the money used to fetch water today. The princess asked me to give it to you."

A little man came forward, still holding a money bag in his hand.

"No name, take the money."

"Yes."

Seeing that Wuming had already received the money, Chu Baihan said slowly: "So, let's stop talking and leave."

what?
Is this gone?

Did they come back on purpose just to sell water?
Moreover, so much water almost emptied the reservoir of the Li Mansion, and they were almost out of water.

When Chu Baihan brought them out, Yan Lian was still puzzled.

"What's going on here? Didn't you see Aunt Huang?" He asked in a muffled voice.

"It's your aunt Huang who doesn't want to see us." Chu Baihan said quietly.

"That's because we haven't confessed our identities. If you know the true identities of me, Brother Eight Emperor, and you, even if we are not close, she shouldn't disappear."

Yan Lian shook her head and spoke disapprovingly.

Hearing this, Chu Baihan chuckled lightly, and continued to calmly say, "I'm afraid that your aunt Huang guessed that we were here, so she didn't show up."

"What's your opinion?" Yan Lian asked.

"Did you bring the bucket you used to hold the water from the palace?" What Yan Lin thought of at this moment, he immediately said to Chu Baihan.

"That's right, among the entourage that your father asked the servants to prepare, there was a wooden barrel for water on the road. The wooden barrel had the mark of the imperial palace on it. Just now, when the servant rushed over, his cuffs were wet, and his body was wet. There is also a faint herbal smell that is specially used by noble families..."

"So, it is very likely that he has brought water for Aunt Huang to wash. Aunt Huang may also have seen the wooden barrel. It is impossible for a person of royal family not to recognize the palace mark."

Yan Lin immediately answered her words.

"That's right." Chu Baihan nodded.

"Ah? Sister-in-law Eight Emperors, did you come here specially to test Aunt Huang today?" Yan Lian asked incomprehensibly.

"That's it."

Chu Baihan said softly, she turned her head to look at the plaque of the Princess Mansion, and said again: "Why do you think your aunt Huang avoids us?"

"This, this..." Yan Lian scratched his hair, but he couldn't think of a reason.

But Chu Baihan didn't seem to want to hear the answer, so she withdrew her eyes, stepped into the carriage briskly, and then left a sentence.

"Okay, it's dawn, everyone is tired, go back and rest."
