In order to show off to Xue Jinrong, Chu Youyang even asked, "Do you want him to take off his mask and show it to you? Otherwise, you can accuse me of mistaking the fake for the real thing."
Xue Jinrong pinched him, "There must be a reason why they wear masks. Are you being polite?"
Before Chu Youyang could say anything, they all knelt down, "I was able to get out of the dungeon thanks to the Queen, thank you!"
"Alright, alright, get up quickly! Princess Su would like to ask if you can prepare some scar removal medicine..." Xue Jinrong said, and before he could get a full answer, he already looked embarrassed.
She had seen him without a mask, and his face was full of scars, so he didn't look like someone who could make scar-removing medicine.
But Du Quan asked, "Can you let me see it?"
Chu Younan stretched out his arm and showed it to him.
Everyone nodded. "The medicine can be prepared, but it needs to be used before the scar scabs form. If we want to use it now, we need to uncover the scar. I don't know..."
Su Bei took a deep breath. This was simply torture!
“Forget it…”
"Can!"
Su Bei and Chu Younan said at the same time.
Chu Younan turned to her with a firm gaze.
It’s not like he’s never been injured before, so it’s no big deal! They all looked at him with admiration, “It’s just that this medicine requires some precious medicinal materials…”
"No problem! Just prepare it! I'll give you any herbs you want!" Chu Youyang seemed unusually excited, "Third brother! Hurry up and cure him. I'll let you be the emperor!"
I have never seen someone who doesn't want to be an emperor! But Du Quan said: "I have never experienced this kind of injury before. I am afraid it will take some time..."
"Huh? How long?!" Chu Youyang looked deflated.
"At least a year and a half, at most..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Chu Youyang said impatiently, "Anyway, I'm not going back to Beijing. I'll leave all those bullshit matters to you. I'll issue an edict to make you the regent, and Jinrong and I will live our lives here from now on!"
"Youyang, stop messing around!" Chu Younan said in a deep voice.
But Chu Youyang had already dragged Xue Jinrong away, shouting as he ran: "I don't want this courtyard anymore, I'm giving it to you, just use it as the Regent Palace of Tongcheng!"
And bring this? The surprise came too soon, didn't it?! It doesn't matter whether he is the regent or not, the key is that Su Bei really likes this courtyard!
And Du Quan can also heal Chu Younan's injuries, it's simply perfect!
They were all writing prescriptions under the paulownia tree, while Chu Younan and Su Bei were waiting on the side.
"I seem to be hungry again." Su Bei muttered.
"I'll ask someone to prepare food for you." Chu Younan said.
Su Bei complained, "If I eat like this every day, I'm afraid I'll become as fat as a ball..."
"It's good to be fat like a ball, just like when you were a child..." Chu Younan said, pinching her face.
Everyone looked up, feeling that the scene seemed familiar. He looked more carefully and saw a small bat purse hanging around Su Bei's waist, exactly the same as the one he picked up in the dungeon.
It turns out that it’s not Mrs. Wang or Miss Wang, but the Princess?
They were all shocked, and suddenly thought of some scenes. It seemed that he had seen the scene of pinching the face before!
Su Bei and Chu Younan were walking out of the yard.
Duquan's memory was intermittent, as if he remembered something...
Since there was a new courtyard, it was natural to invite Empress Dowager Mei as well. As soon as he returned to Prince Jingnan's Mansion, Su Bei went directly to pay a visit to Empress Dowager Mei.
But before Tian opened his mouth, Empress Dowager Mei said, "The Emperor came and told me that he wanted to go out and have fun for a few days. The affairs of the court will have to be entrusted to the Regent."
Calling the Regent so soon...
Su Bei was a little embarrassed.
"By the way, Youyang is not suitable to be the emperor. If the regent can cure him, let him be the emperor..."
Su Bei was very upset. No wonder he had such a pure and refined son. His mother had no desires or requests! In fact, a mother with no desires or requests was also very good. She would not secretly put someone in your yard...
But before Su Bei could say a few words, just as he was asking Empress Dowager Mei to move with them to the new courtyard, he heard the maid come in and report that Gu Rui had arrived.
Empress Dowager Mei's expression changed for a moment, and then she said, "Tell him I'm meeting a guest."
In the past, I always said I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to see you, but today this reason…
Su Bei just thought about it and didn't say much.
After chatting for a while, she returned to her own yard, just in time to meet Chu Younan returning from King Jingnan.
"Prince Jingnan said that we should stay for a while longer. He also said that Cheng Shi's marriage has not been finalized yet, so he asked you to help with the plan."
Su Bei frowned, "It's useless for me to be a consultant. Cheng Shi is a stubborn person. As a father, doesn't he know this?"
If he wasn't stubborn, how could he have been infatuated with Su Bei for so long? Now that he has finally transferred his feelings to someone else and both parties are willing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change his mind.
The only option now is to either make King Jingnan accept Su'er's identity or change Su'er's identity.
"Can't we ask the emperor to confer the title of county princess on her?" Su Bei said.
Chu Younan frowned, "You have to have achievements to do this."
"Then give her a chance. Isn't there any solid evidence that Yue Xian bought and sold official positions?"
That's a good idea.
"But I don't know where he took Xue Jinrong to play." Chu Younan sighed.
Chu Youyang is really like a child. He is so hard to take care of!
As he was speaking, someone came into the yard. It was Yu Chuan who was beside Chu Youyang.
"Your Highness Prince Su, congratulations!" Yu Chuan smiled and took out a shiny scroll.
No need to look at it, it is an imperial edict.
Chu Younan was conferred the title of the first-class regent, and was given a courtyard in Tongcheng and another in the capital, as well as some gold, silver, jewelry, and precious herbs. Chu Youyang was quite generous.
"Where did he go?" Chu Younan asked in a deep voice.
"The Emperor... He won't let me talk about it..." Yu Chuan laughed awkwardly, "He said that he gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs every day, and he wants to rest for a few days. He also mentioned the Ministry of Personnel selling official positions and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and asked His Majesty to solve it."
"Okay, go ahead!" Chu Younan waved his hands helplessly.
Su Bei asked Wen Xia to give the reward money to Yu Chuan.
In fact, Chu Younan wanted to compete for the crown prince from the beginning, but things went a little off track. Now he is back on track.
"It's okay this time, give Su'er a chance! Regent..." Su Bei said, waiting for an opportunity.
Chu Younan thought for a moment and asked someone to call Cheng Shi and Su'er over.
"If you can accomplish these three things, I will make Su'er the county lord. Then family background won't be a problem."
Hmm? Does this seem like a familiar recipe?
Su Bei chuckled.
"The first thing is to find out the officials involved in Yue Xian's buying and selling of official positions. The second thing is to arrange a new identity for Su'er during this period. The third thing is to persuade King Jingnan to marry a wife."
When he heard the first two things, Cheng Shi's eyes were full of joy, but when he heard the third thing, his facial features were tightly frowned.
"Why must he be allowed to marry?"
Chu Younan remained unmoved, perhaps because of his status as regent or because he was naturally majestic, but his words were sonorous and powerful, leaving Cheng Shi speechless.
"Your father has been alone for more than ten years because of you. Now that you are about to get married, do you still want him to live alone? With his status, let alone having three wives and four concubines, it is not impossible for him to marry a princess!"
