Imperial Concubine Yao agreed without even thinking, "Your Majesty, please give me three days. I will definitely find evidence to prove my innocence!"
Su Bei created such an opportunity for her, how could she just admit defeat? The palace banquet ended unhappily, Chu Younan and Su Bei came to Yikun Palace together. Imperial Concubine Yao seemed grateful to Su Bei and did not treat her as a maid, so she let her sit down.
"Mother, do you have any idea about this matter?" Chu Younan asked.
Imperial Concubine Yao frowned, "Sang Yu had been waiting to leave the palace and marry her cousin next year, but she suddenly became a concubine of the eunuch in the palace. This is very strange."
"Then I will send someone to start with his cousin, and mother will look for other clues in the palace."
Concubine Yao nodded and told Chu Younan the news about her cousin Sang Yu that she knew.
Then she looked at Su Bei, and after a slight hesitation, she said in a deep voice: "Thank you for using such a precious opportunity for me."
Before Su Bei could speak, Chu Younan had already held her hand, and then said: "Abei is a filial child, so she will naturally not watch her mother fall into trouble. But I originally discussed with her that this opportunity could be used to vindicate the Su family, and then she could restore her status as a young lady from an official family. Now..."
Su Bei turned around and stared at him: "There is such a trick? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chu Younan gave her a look: "Be patient."
Imperial Concubine Yao thought for a long time before she said, "The Su family's case was investigated by the Queen's uncle, and the current Prime Minister is a student of her father. It is said that the Queen's uncle asked to marry Prime Minister Su's wife in his early years."
Chu Younan had already found out the previous information, but he was not aware of the gossip behind it. Perhaps this gossip was also the key. If Ah Bei had not taken the risk to come forward today, I think Concubine Yao would not have revealed such important information.
The two of them bid farewell to Concubine Yao and went to Prince Su's Mansion.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Chu Younan ordered Ling Xiao to check the clues given by Concubine Yao. Su Bei rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why didn't you say earlier that this opportunity could be used to vindicate the Su family?"
"Because it's impossible!" Chu Younan pinched his forehead, "Do you think you can just tell your father that you want to vindicate the Su family?"
"Empress Yao is so smart, why didn't she say anything?" Su Bei pouted, looking unhappy.
Chu Younan chuckled, "I just told her that this opportunity is very important to you, that's all. Otherwise, why would she tell me such an important thing?"
Su Bei frowned.
Chu Younan was silent.
After all, Su Bei's matter is not urgent, but Concubine Yao's matter only has three days. If he cannot prove his innocence, not only will Su Bei's opportunity be wasted, but Concubine Yao will definitely be punished.
Passing by a noodle stall, Su Bei couldn't help but lift the curtain of the sedan chair, "It smells so good! Stop and have a bowl! I'm starving!"
As if in response to the situation, her stomach began to growl.
Chu Younan chuckled, stopped the carriage, and the two of them came to the noodle stall.
He had never eaten at a street stall before, and looking at the polished bench, he felt a little uncomfortable sitting down for a moment.
Su Bei curled his lips, "You are not a real prince, have you never eaten at a food stall? Sit down!"
Chu Younan's mouth twitched. How come he wasn't the real prince? If he was fake, could he be replaced?
Su Bei sat down on the bench and said to the stall owner, "Boss, give me two bowls of beef noodles, with more beef!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and saw Chu Younan sitting down cautiously. She leaned over and whispered, "I haven't asked yet. I came from the year 3050. What about you?"
Chu Younan lowered his eyes. This question was a bit tricky.
Su Bei did not ask further questions, and said to himself: "I think you must have come from a peaceful era. Let me tell you, when I was eight years old, the end of the world came and zombies broke out. Do you know what we ate every day?"
Chu Younan shook his head.
"At first, we could still find some food for humans, but later on, we could only eat expired food. Then we could only drink nutrient solution, which was also expired, or find some wild plants. The animals have all mutated!"
As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and paused, "Don't even mention it as a small stall, you know? When I first came here, there was a cold steamed bun on my table and a bowl of cold porridge, and I felt so happy!"
Chu Younan suddenly felt distressed, "Then eat whatever you want from now on, eat more!"
Su Bei chuckled, watching the boss bring two bowls of steaming hot beef noodles, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a conscientious merchant! There's so much meat!"
In the clear soup, white and thin noodles were entwined, with a layer of meat on top. It was real meat, like braised pork, a full layer! Su Bei wanted to drool just by looking at it, but when she turned around and saw Ling Xiao and others waiting beside her, she immediately felt sorry for them and whispered, "I'm telling you, you're not a real prince, don't do that feudalism, let them come over and eat together! Anyway, you can afford it!"
Chu Younan: ...Why am I not the real prince anymore? !
But he still turned around and said, "Come here and eat!"
For some reason, one of the guards seemed to be laughing secretly.
Chu Younan felt puzzled, frowned and glared at him, then turned around and saw that his bowl was very clean.
Hmm! Very clean, only clear soup and white noodles, with a few slices of chopped green onion.
On the opposite side, Su Bei's bowl was piled high, with the pieces of meat like a small mountain.
Seeing him looking at him, Su Bei turned around and chewed the meat in his mouth quickly.
After all, he is a prince, and he comes from a peaceful era. He has plenty of food and drink. It’s just a few pieces of meat. What’s the big deal? Besides, let him see that this girl who looks like a little girl is actually a money-eating beast, so that he won’t always think about the wedding night or the bridal chamber…
Thinking of this, Su Bei's face suddenly turned red.
Chu Younan thought she was embarrassed to steal his meat, so he hurriedly said, "Store owner! Give me another two pounds of beef!"
Wow! So generous! Two pounds of beef is a whole plate, as big as a big watermelon!
Su Bei was so sick of eating so much, but why did he feel a little sweet in his heart?
And after the meal, she was so full that she could hardly walk.
Chu Younan watched her struggling to stand up by holding onto the table, and couldn't help but smile, "Let's go back and digest our food."
"Uh... okay..." Su Bei rubbed his stomach.
The two walked side by side towards the Prince Su's Mansion. Chu Younan suddenly grabbed her hand. Just as Su Bei was about to shout, she saw his hand pressing on her wrist, "Pressing the Daling point will help digestion, otherwise you won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Su Bei fell silent instantly. She had been hungry for too long at the palace banquet, and she had eaten too much without realizing it.
There was no one on the road at night, only the two of them walking slowly forward, accompanied by the moonlight.
It seems like this feeling is pretty good! But Chu Younan fell into thinking again, how should he solve the problem of his mother?
