Su Bei was suddenly stunned, and slowly turned her head over, her mouth immediately opened wide.
His peach blossom eyes were half open, looking at her lazily yet charmingly, as if he had not returned from the gates of hell, but had just woken up.
"Good, good... looks good..." Su Bei didn't know what he was saying and replied subconsciously.
Chu Younan couldn't help laughing, but it moved a scar on his face, and he suddenly frowned, "What do you mean Gu Rui is right? He is just talking nonsense. Cheng Shi was fooled by him!"
As he spoke, he tried to get up, but every movement pulled at the scars on his body.
Su Bei quickly held him down, "Don't move! You're covered in wounds, you're lucky to have survived!"
But Chu Younan still raised his hand and stroked her cheek, his eyes full of pity, "Fortunately, I have gone through this..."
The words were so confusing that Su Bei was confused and asked hurriedly, "Where have you been?"
He didn't say anything, just looked at her sadly.
Su Bei frowned and pretended to be angry, "Why don't you ask why I'm still here?"
Chu Younan's fingers trembled slightly, and then he whispered: "You won't leave. It turns out that it was you who accompanied me to the end..."
"What are you talking about? Where have you been? Did you travel through time again?"
"Yes and no..." Chu Younan's fingertips stroked her eyebrows, passed across her face, and finally stopped at her lips.
He didn't say anything else.
He went back, back to his previous life, but it was after his death. It turned out that there was no Cheng Shi and Su Bei at all. Instead, after his death, Su Bei wanted to collect his body, but was discovered by Mo Qingying, who threw Su Bei into a dog cage. Several half-human-high black dogs tore Su Bei to pieces...
It turned out that she had been silently in love with him in her previous life, but he was blind at that time, so he only saw that vicious woman Mo Qingying.
Su Bei's eyes were sore, and she complained in a low voice: "Chu Younan, I thought I would have a glorious marriage as your princess, but who would have thought that you would sleep soundly and I walked in with a rooster in my arms..."
"I will return everything to you. I will return everything to you..." he murmured, choking with sobs.
"Do you know that everyone in the capital is watching when I will be buried with him..."
"Let them wait another hundred years..."
All the grievances from the past two months burst out at this moment. Su Bei kissed him fiercely on the lips. After a long time, she stood up and said with tears streaming down her face: "Chu Younan, we are newlyweds and in love. I want you to give me everything back!"
"Return it all! I'll return it all to you! Wait until I get better..." A gleam of evil suddenly flashed in his eyes, like a wolf seeing a rabbit.
"You! You're injured like this, but you're still so lewd!" Su Bei glared at him fiercely.
Chu Younan chuckled, "How can I be lustful? When I opened my eyes just now, I saw you staring at me..."
"I'm applying medicine to you!"
"Okay, okay! I'm the one who's perverted, I'm the bad one, it's me, it's all me..." Chu Younan held on and held her in his arms with one arm.
The news spread like wildfire. Upon learning that Chu Younan had woken up, Chu Yan and Concubine Yao specially came out of the palace to visit Chu Younan. Chu Youyang and Xue Jinrong also came to visit. Princess Mu Hui came with her husband, and even Prince Rui Chu Youheng came.
Chu Youheng has always been a transparent person with almost no sense of existence. This is because his mother was not as glorious as these princes. She was just a palace maid and died when he was only eight years old. He had a harder time than others in the palace, so he learned to reduce his sense of existence so that people would not notice him.
In fact, he looked quite good, with regular features and an elegant temperament. He spoke in a gentle voice, without any of the oppressive feeling of a prince.
"I heard that my third brother has woken up, so I brought some supplements. There is also this Jade Dew Cream, which is very effective in removing scars. He is the most handsome among the brothers, and it would be bad if he got a scar."
Su Bei thanked him and put it on the table.
Chu Younan inside the curtain said slowly: "Thank you, my royal brother."
"You take good care of yourself, I'll come back in a few days." Chu Youheng smiled gently.
Su Bei thought he would help Jiang Ruwei, but he didn't say a word.
But after he left, Chu Younan called Su Bei into the tent and said solemnly, "The things he sent must be carefully checked, and there is no need to get too close to him in the future."
Su Bei nodded, "We have never had much contact. As you know, he rarely interacts with others."
Chu Younan, however, looked solemn.
When he returned unexpectedly this time, he made an unexpected discovery. He originally thought that Chu Youchen was his biggest rival, but he didn't expect that Chu Youchen fell ill soon after his death. Because Chu Youyang was far away in his fiefdom and Chu Youchen's children were still young, it was Chu Youheng who sat on the throne in the end.
However, the seemingly gentle Chu Youheng was not merciful after he ascended the throne. Instead, he was even more cruel than Chu Youchen. Not only did he kill his last brother Chu Youyang, he even spared Chu Youchen's youngest son.
Moreover, he took all of Chu Youchen's women into his harem, not only that, but also Mo Qingying. I don't know what method he used to make that crazy woman Yaruo so obedient. She threw all the rules of Canghe Mansion and Gaoliu out of her mind...
"What are you thinking about?" Su Bei picked up the warm soup and fed it to his mouth.
Chu Younan said in a deep voice: "Do you think Chu Youchen really did this?"
Su Bei paused for a moment, then scooped up some soup and brought it to his mouth. "I think Chu Youheng is also a suspect, but I have no evidence."
I have to say that Su Bei is different from those ladies from wealthy families. Although Su Bei is very cautious, this is an advantage and a strength in royal life.
"I don't have any evidence either, but it's better to be careful." Chu Younan knew that as long as he didn't ascend the throne, he would be unsafe. Even if he ascended the throne, he might end up like Chu Youchen in the end.
——
After leaving Prince Su's Palace, Chu Youheng went straight back to Prince Rui's Palace.
He changed his clothes and washed his hands, then came to a landscape painting in the study. The painting was a view from the top of a mountain, everything seemed so small, even the place that looked like a palace.
He curled his lips slightly, then turned the vase beside him, and the blue bricks on the ground moved with a click, and a dark hole appeared. He lit a lantern, walked down the steps, and could faintly hear a woman's voice calling from the hole.
The cry was filled with suppressed pain, and he quickened his pace upon hearing it.
The corridor was very long and he walked for a long time before he came to a cave. He saw a woman lying on the bed and two old women were anxious and panicked.
"Master! She's going to give birth suddenly!"
