Chu Jiangnan woke up the next day.
When he woke up, Chu Qianli and Chu Wang were by his side. Not long after, Chu Lingyang also arrived.
Only Feng Yexuan was missing.
But Liujin was there.
Chu Wang provided the answer to this question the day after Chu Jiangnan woke up.
By this time, although Chu Jiangnan had only been awake for two days, his body had improved considerably.
He had finally stabilized completely.
That day, after Chu Qianli took his pulse, her eyes brightened slightly: "Your Majesty, the toxins in your body have been cleared. In the coming days, with proper recuperation, you will soon recover completely."
Upon hearing this, Chu Wang became excited: "So, Your Imperial Uncle's health will no longer have any problems in the future?"
"That depends on whether Fourth Uncle can protect my father well. You must know that there are still many people in this world who wish to take my father's life."
Chu Qianli tidied up her medicine box and turned to look at Chu Wang and Chu Lingyang, who were sitting beside her.
"Second Imperial Uncle, Fourth Uncle, in the future, Father will still need your protection."
"You're leaving?" Chu Wang had known for a long time that the little girl wouldn't be able to stay put.
He just hadn't expected it to be so soon.
Chu Qianli didn't speak, turning to look at Chu Jiangnan.
Chu Lingyang, on the other hand, looked surprised: "Little Li'er, you're going out of the palace? Where are you going? Do you want Second Imperial Uncle to send someone to protect you?"
"No need, I'm just going to handle some personal matters and will be back soon."
Regarding the treasure map, Chu Qianli had hesitated whether to tell Chu Lingyang.
However, she didn't know yet if those treasures truly existed, so it was better not to mention it for now.
Moreover, Feng Yexuan had taken the treasure map back. After he returned, he would definitely lead people to search for the treasure.
In this process, there would be unknown dangers and storms.
Not telling him was also to avoid making Chu Lingyang worry too much.
Having one more person know would only bring one more worry. It was better to let him stay by his father's side and assist him with peace of mind.
"Li'er, Father has something to tell you." Chu Jiangnan leaned against the headboard of the bed and glanced at Chu Wang.
Although Chu Wang was very curious, he dared not disturb them and immediately stood up.
Chu Lingyang also quickly got up. Both of them, along with Xiao Shunzi, took their leave.
Soon, only Chu Qianli and Chu Jiangnan, father and daughter, remained in the chamber.
"Father, what do you need to tell me?" Chu Qianli asked.
"Go behind my desk, to the bottom left corner, and tap the third compartment."
Chu Qianli did as Chu Jiangnan said without hesitation.
Soon, she retrieved a small wooden box from the compartment he had indicated.
Although the wooden box was finely crafted, it was evident that it was quite old.
"Father, what is this?" The wooden box even had some dust on it, indicating how long it had been there without being taken out.
Half of this dust was from the cabinet's corrosion, shedding wood shavings and dust.
"Open it and see."
Chu Qianli looked confused and carefully opened the wooden box.
"An imperial decree?"
She looked at Chu Jiangnan. Seeing that Chu Jiangnan didn't speak but merely nodded towards the imperial decree, she understood that this decree was meant for her to see.
Moreover, the texture of this imperial decree felt somewhat familiar.
"No... it's not a Nanming imperial decree." She was still very confused.
This was strange. If it wasn't a Nanming imperial decree, why was it in the hands of the Nanming monarch?
Looking again, Chu Qianli's heart suddenly jolted, and she quickly unfolded the imperial decree!
