This is not a easy question to ask, so Su Bei can only test it carefully.

"My queen, you've been working hard lately. Are you going to give birth soon?"

Empress Dowager Mei looked exhausted. "It's more tiring than pregnant with Youyang. I'm afraid it's a boy..."

I'm afraid it's a boy...

Afraid……

Su Bei is a little confused...

"What's the situation inside the imperial mausoleum? Are there many traps?" Su Bei asked again.

"Yes, I almost lost my life, all thanks to Gu Rui..." Queen Mother Mei smiled bitterly.

"Then the others..."

"We were imprisoned in different tombs. When Gu Rui went in, he said that they had already..." There seemed to be fear in Empress Dowager Mei's eyes.

"Fortunately, he arrived in time..."

"Yes, thanks to him, I was able to save my life..." The gratitude in Empress Dowager Mei's eyes was undisguised.

Su Bei was unsure. As a person with a modern soul, although there was a big age difference between Empress Dowager Mei and Gu Rui, she believed that Empress Dowager Mei's own choice should be respected.

She wanted to ask more, but Empress Dowager Mei was not in a good condition and was obviously frightened just now.

Fortunately, a government doctor came.

Su Bei thought that he could ask the court doctor how many months old the child was later.

But just as the court doctor finished taking the patient's pulse, Chu Younan came in.

He did not ask about the situation, but asked everyone to leave, and then said directly: "Abei and I are here to take the Queen Mother back to the palace. The emperor's brother has ascended the throne, and the Queen Mother can return to the palace to spend her remaining years."

Empress Dowager Mei seemed a little surprised and stunned.

Su Bei looked at her nervously.

After a while, Empress Dowager Mei's breathing became rapid and she covered her stomach. "Let...let the court doctor come back...I feel a little unwell again..."

Su Bei's heart was in her throat. When the court doctor came in, she and Chu Younan retreated and whispered, "Why did you say it so directly? What if..."

Chu Younan remained calm, "My royal brother has been looking forward to Empress Dowager Mei's return, so naturally he must bring her back as soon as possible."

"Oh! But Gu Rui stayed with her in the tomb for several months, and that child..." Su Bei looked embarrassed.

"That is the bloodline of the late emperor." Chu Younan said with certainty.

Su Bei paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Chu Younan could read minds, so she was relieved, "Are you sure?"

"Of course." Chu Younan nodded.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Su Bei rolled his eyes at him. If he had known earlier, why would he have tried to test him...

It seems that Gu Rui is wishful thinking! However, the two of them live in the same courtyard in the Zhennan Palace, so it is hard to say.

Just as he was in a dilemma, the court doctor came out and said, "Madam is not in good spirits. She has gone to bed and said that she will talk to you tomorrow if there is anything else."

Chu Younan nodded, and the two of them came to the outside of the yard, and saw Gu Rui waiting at the door, peeking inside.

"She...how is she?" Gu Rui asked cautiously.

Chu Younan said in a deep voice: "I will escort the Queen Mother back to the palace soon. You can go with me and confess your crime to His Majesty!"

Gu Rui was shocked. "I... I worked so hard to rescue her from the imperial mausoleum, how come I have no credit and am even guilty?"

"What do you think?" Su Bei rolled his eyes at him.

Gu Rui lowered his head. "Although we live in the same courtyard, I have always lived in the side room. The maids and servants can testify to this. Su Er can also..."

Speaking of Su'er, he was suddenly startled, "Oh right! The arsonist just now said that Su'er was taken away by them, and the prince was punished by the King of Zhennan to kneel in the ancestral hall. Can you come with me to look for him?!"

She was just a maid, but Gu Rui actually asked the prince and princess to look for her? !

Before Su Bei could ask, Gu Rui said, "Let's talk about my business after we get back. Those people are very arrogant. If we go too late, Miss Su'er might be bullied..."

After saying that, he muttered softly: "If something happens to Su'er, Master Cheng will be even more sad. After all, he is also sharing the hardship with you..."

Chu Younan looked at him coldly, how dare he bring up this matter!

Gu Rui's eyes flashed with slyness, "Didn't you see that? Master Cheng actually fell in love with Su'er, but he just didn't admit it..."

After hearing this, Chu Younan's mind suddenly came to his senses. Cheng Shi was indeed very worried when he heard that Su'er was missing.

I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it...

He cleared his throat and said, "It's just a piece of cake. I'll go."

But he thought again, it's not a good idea to leave Su Bei here. They are so close, what if Cheng Shi misses this person? "Let's go together!" He said, holding Su Bei with one hand and Gu Rui with the other and walked out.

Along the way, Gu Rui never stopped talking, saying that ever since Cheng Shi came to Tongcheng, Su'er had blinded the eyes of those playboys in Tongcheng. Whenever he went out, he was surrounded by bees and flies.

But Su'er didn't like those people at all. As a result, those people came up with such a bad idea today. They sneaked into Prince Jingnan's Mansion, set it on fire, and kidnapped Su'er in the chaos.

"The guy just now confessed that he was sent by Yue Hongcai from Yuejian Academy!" Gu Rui led the way in front with a menacing look.

The three of them went straight to Yuejian Academy.

It was late at night and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, but before the three of them reached the entrance of Yuejian Academy, they heard a commotion over there.

As soon as he approached, before he could figure out the situation, he saw a servant dressed as a servant rushing over, pointing at Su Bei and shouting, "It's her! It's her!"

Su Bei was stunned. What did I do?

An old man came over and frowned, shouting, "You hurt my son?"

Behind him, a man came over with his face covered and swollen like a pig, groaning, "It was her! She beat me!"

Gu Rui introduced in a low voice: "This is Yue Hongcai, and the older one is Yue Xian, the headmaster of Yuejian Academy."

Chu Younan rolled his eyes and whispered, "Su'er has left. Before leaving, he beat up Yue Hongcai."

So that's how it is. Su'er and Su Bei are somewhat similar. They probably mistook Su Bei for someone else.

Su Bei was not in a hurry and asked in a deep voice: "Where was Master Yue beaten?"

"It's in my room!" Yue Hongcai finally realized what was happening and changed his words, "No, no, it's on the street!"

"Oh, in your room." Su Bei ignored him. "Why am I in your room in the middle of the night?"

"You came to find me..." Yue Hongcai howled, covering his face.

"Oh, since I came to find you, why should I hit you?" Su Bei turned and looked at Yue Xian.

Yue Xian seemed to have understood something, but with so many people present, and they all knew that Su'er was from Jingnan Palace, he could never admit it!

He said anxiously, "Nonsense! This is nonsense. My son Hongcai has always been self-disciplined and polite. How could he have a secret meeting with a maid like you? You must be trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful..."

"Oh?" Su Bei looked at the father and son coldly, "Climbing up to the powerful? I didn't know that in Tongcheng, there is actually someone more powerful than King Jingnan?"

Yue Hongcai hurriedly shouted: "Who in Tongcheng doesn't know that my Yue family is extremely powerful?! You asked me to marry you, I refused, and then you beat me up!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Xian became more confident and said, "Even if you are from the Jingnan Palace, you cannot act so recklessly. Today, the Jingnan Palace must give us an explanation!"
