Six years after the suspended animation, the father of the cub caught up with him

"Yes, princess."

Hearing Chu Baihan's words, Ruolan finally came to her senses.

Yes, no matter when, it is taboo to underestimate the enemy, and she almost made a mistake.

"Okay, it's almost done, let's go with the princess to see the emperor's aunt." Chu Baihan continued.

……

Soon, Chu Baihan brought Nan Xing and others to the front yard.

A woman in her 40s was already sitting in the hall.

Her temperament is dusty, like a green bamboo, noble and inviolable.

Such a woman actually married Uncle Xuhuang.

Chu Baihan frowned slightly, even though she didn't know the imperial aunt yet, she already felt worthless for her.

"Princess."

Seeing her coming, Princess Xu Zhao Yaning was about to stand up and salute her.

She is the eldest princess of Nanduan Kingdom, and she is also a female general who holds military power.

Her existence is extremely important to the southern kingdom.

Zhao Yaning knew that she, an unfavored princess, was nothing in front of Chu Baihan, so she tried to lower her attitude as much as possible.

Seeing her like this, Chu Baihan quickly helped her up.

"Aunt Seventh Emperor, what are you doing? You are an elder, if I salute you, wouldn't that be a shame for me?"

Chu Baihan said helplessly.

She helped Zhao Yaning to the chair next to her and sat down.

Her fingers clasped each other's wrists.

What a weak pulse...

Moreover, Aunt Huang's body is too cold.

Chu Baihan's hands are much better now, so it doesn't affect her pulse.

After touching the emperor's aunt like this, she found that the other's body was indeed very bad.

Looking up at the other party's pale face, she knew that the trip from Prince Xu's Mansion to Princess Chang's Mansion would probably exhaust her energy.

"Nan Xing, go and cook some ginseng soup."

Chu Baihan said to Nan Xing seriously.

"Yes, princess."

Nan Xing didn't dare to delay, she hurried out.

"Princess, don't bother you so much, concubine..." Zhao Yaning frowned, trying to stop her.

She is not worth Chu Baihan's trouble.

"Aunt Qihuang, you can just call me Bai Han. You are an elder, and if you come to the eldest princess's mansion today, is it possible that I won't give you a sip of soup?"

Chu Baihan asked helplessly.

She has always been clear about right and wrong, Uncle Xu is Uncle Xu, and Aunt Huang is Aunt Huang.

If Aunt Huang hadn't participated in Uncle Xu Huang's affairs, she would naturally not treat her like that.

Hearing Chu Baihan's words, Zhao Yaning was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, she said softly: "Okay, then thank you."

Seeing Zhao Yaning like this, Chu Baihan remembered...

Aunt Qihuang should be from the Zhao family.

The Zhao family was also a famous family in Nanduan country back then.

Most of the people from the Zhao family are speech officials, who are proud, and they are not afraid of the emperor and powerful officials in the court.

However, the Zhao family's descendants were weak, and no one inherited the family business, so they gradually declined.

Therefore, Aunt Qihuang has not had her natal family to support her all these years.

"Aunt Seventh Emperor came here today, why?" Chu Baihan asked softly.

At this time, Zhao Yaning hesitated for a moment, and then said in a hesitant tone: "My lord didn't come back last night. In the middle of the night, when the palace servants came to report, I didn't know that something happened to my lord. He was so confused..."

"Is Aunt Seventh Emperor here to intercede?" Chu Baihan directly interrupted her.

"I know what your uncle is doing is very muddled, but he is still your uncle, Bai Han...is there really no room for turning around?"

Zhao Yaning asked nervously.

When Chu Baihan heard her words, his brows furrowed fiercely.

When she first met Zhao Yaning, she felt that the other party was full of arrogance, so she probably wouldn't intercede for Uncle Xu Huang.

After all, Uncle Xuhuang didn't treat her, the concubine, well.

but now……

Chu Baihan's tone became more and more cold, and his tone was not friendly: "Aunt Qihuang, if you come to talk to me about other things, I will naturally welcome you. But if you plead for Uncle Xuhuang, please forgive me for not being able to help you. At this time, the father and brother have already dealt with it, so it is inconvenient for me to intervene. Besides, Uncle Xu Huang behaved badly, and can he be forgiven in a few words?"

Seeing Chu Baihan's resolute attitude, Zhao Yaning opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"I was abrupt. I'll go back first."

Zhao Yaning hid the loneliness in her eyes, she said slowly, and then got up.

Just at this time, Chen Yuexin came in with ginseng soup.

"Princess, the ginseng soup is ready." She said quickly.

The so-called ginseng soup is nothing more than soaking ginseng slices in water.

But this ginseng water is still useful for the weak.

"Why are you? Where is Nan Xing?"

Chu Baihan looked at Chen Yuexin strangely.

She asked Chen Yuexin to help in the medicine garden, why did she appear here again?
Hearing this, Chen Yuexin quickly lowered her head, "This servant was originally cooking medicine in the kitchen, but sister Nan Xing suddenly felt sick to her stomach, so I asked this servant to deliver ginseng soup."

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Baihan nodded and didn't think much about it.

She got up, took the ginseng soup from Chen Yuexin's hand, and walked in front of Zhao Yaning.

"Bai Han, you..."

"Aunt Qihuang, it's better to drink this bowl of ginseng soup before leaving." Chu Baihan said quietly.

The sharpness in her eyebrows has receded, leaving only a bit of gentleness.

Zhao Yaning didn't feel resentful towards Chu Baihan because of the incident just now, she nodded, then took the ginseng soup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Thank you."

Putting the bowl on the table next to her, Zhao Yaning turned and left.

Her steps were heavier than when she came, but her back was always straight.

Chu Baihan first looked at her back, then his eyes fell on her ankles.

When Zhao Yaning was gone, Chu Baihan immediately said to Wuming in the dark: "Wuming, follow."

"Yes, princess."

"Eldest Princess, what's wrong if it's not Princess Xu?" Ruo Lan asked solemnly.

"Aunt Seven Emperor's feet seem to be injured. The princess just felt her pulse. It seems that her weakness is man-made, and there are scars on her wrists, which seem to be caused by being tied up with ropes all year round."

Chu Baihan spoke seriously.

Is that so?

Ruolan's face changed violently, and she murmured softly, "Concubine Xu has a noble status, how could she suffer such a serious injury?"

"That's why we need to check carefully..." Chu Baihan's eyes turned cold.

"How is Nan Xing?" Looking up again, she asked Chen Yuexin about Nan Xing's situation.

"It looks quite serious. I don't know if it's because of the cold at night, that's why it happened." Chen Yuexin quickly replied.

"My princess, go and see her."

Chu Baihan said that he was about to go out.

She had already regarded Nan Xing as her family member, now that she heard that she was unwell, she couldn't sit still.
