Chapter 295: Life-saving Grace



Those fox eyes were clear and transparent, as if they were truly an innocent child.

Queen Mother Mei was amused by her. "Of course, you are very pretty, a beauty."

Xue Jinrong took Liuying to sit down, and exchanged a few pleasantries with Queen Mother Mei with a smile, then asked, "Is there anything that Queen Mother wants me to do?"

"I haven't seen Prince Su for a while. Can you see him?"

"I saw him today! His face has healed and he doesn't even need to wear a mask anymore!"

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Mei was delighted. "Really? Not even a single scar was left?"

"No, you can't tell he was injured at all! We should still say that the doctor who used to be with Mo Xiao, luckily the emperor didn't kill him!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Empress Dowager Mei said a lot of good things on her face, and then she didn't mention the matter anymore, but just chatted for a while.

After Xue Jinrong took Liuying away, Empress Dowager Mei hurriedly asked someone around her to deliver a letter to the Regent's Palace.

When the room quieted down, she looked at her belly silently.

Everyone here said that it was Su Bei who came in and took care of her when she was giving birth that day. No matter how they asked, they gave the same story, but Empress Dowager Mei just couldn't believe it.

When it hurt the most, she seemed to have no memory, but she clearly remembered that the person she saw when she opened her eyes was Gu Rui.

I seemed to have seen it that day too.

Was it an illusion? Or was it that I was particularly looking forward to seeing him?

Thinking of Gu Rui, Empress Dowager Mei blushed unconsciously.

Regent's Palace.

Eating skewers until your waist is round and your belly is full, how great!

Little Tangyuan and little Baozi were running around in the yard. Su Bei followed them for a walk, holding her belly. Chu Younan was beside them. Su Xiujie was watching from a distance, and so was Duan Zhanfang.

I'm so jealous! Empress Dowager Mei's people have sent a letter.

The letter was specifically sent to Su Bei, and it said that she was invited to come over for a chat. It also said that she was not feeling well and wanted her to bring Su Xiujie with her.

Could Chu Younan not accompany him? Could he let Su Bei go alone with Su Xiujie? Although he was the elder brother, Chu Younan was somehow jealous, so jealous that he wanted to get angry even when their eyes met.

Actually, this is not abnormal. Just like when Qiuyue twisted her waist and walked on the road they had to pass, Su Bei was so angry that he wanted to throw her out of the house.

But it’s not possible. I’m going back to Beijing soon and she’s still useful to me!

Anyway, with Brother Nan Nan's skills, whether Qiuyue fell down on purpose or fell into his arms, she would never succeed.

Just like this time, she pretended to sprain her ankle and almost fell into Chu Younan's arms, but he still dodged her...

But she didn't dare to get close to Su Bei. Everyone knew that the Regent doted on his wife. If she hurt the baby in her belly, she would be in big trouble...

When the two arrived at Empress Dowager Mei's residence, they saw Empress Dowager Mei looking at Chu Younan with surprise, obviously surprised that his scar had healed so perfectly.

He was handsome and elegant, like a fairy in a painting, without any signs of injury at all.

It's simply a miracle! "Is this the doctor who treated you?" Empress Dowager Mei's eyes fell on Su Xiujie.

This guy is not bad either. Although he is a little more refined than Chu Younan, he is gentle as jade and a handsome man. And he looks a little familiar...

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case." Chu Younan answered, and then said, "His identity is quite special. He used to be with Mo Xiao, but his medical skills were exceptionally superb, so Ah Bei let him stay in the mansion as the palace doctor and gave him a new identity. Now his last name is Su and his given name is Xiujie."

"Su Xiujie?" Empress Dowager Mei frowned, "This name... this name seems a little familiar..."

Of course they are a little familiar with each other. More than ten years ago, Prime Minister Su was very famous. He had a pair of beautiful children, and many families in the capital wanted to arrange marriages with them.

But can Su Bei help her remember?

She quickly changed the subject, "Huh? The little princess seems to be crying, listen!"

Queen Mother Mei really listened carefully, "No, she should still be asleep now. Oh, I just thought this child looked familiar, and when I thought about it carefully, why do you both have the last name Su?"

Su Xiujie knelt down immediately, "It was the kindness of the prince and princess that gave me the surname Su!"

He remembered clearly that Su Duo was guilty of treason and his entire family was executed. How could anyone know his identity? He just didn't expect that after so many years, there would still be people who remembered them.

It seems that apart from Su Bei giving Chu Younan a big gift, the two of them have never done anything particularly shocking.

Chu Younan glared at him secretly. This matter can't be turned over?! Queen Mother Mei didn't say anything more, just said: "Princess Su, I have a few private words to tell you."

Su Bei’s brain was working rapidly.

We just talked about this topic, and Queen Mother Mei suddenly said something private. Could it be that she remembered something? She is such a gentle person, it would be okay even if she knew something? But she is also a very conservative person, otherwise she would not give up such a handsome man like Gu Rui and live a life of widowhood, right? Maybe she thinks that the position of Queen Mother is more important than a man? But if that's the case, she can secretly interact with Gu Rui, then who knows...

Off topic.

Just as she was daydreaming, Chu Younan had already left, and Queen Mother Mei stood up and slowly walked towards her with a smile on her face.

A slightly awkward smile.

Why was she embarrassed? What was she thinking? What did she want to do? A series of questions flashed through Su Bei's mind.

Empress Dowager Mei sat beside her and held her hand.

Su Bei shuddered.

What does this mean? Could it be that she doesn't like young men... but likes... women? Fortunately, Queen Mother Mei was very normal and just said, "Abei, on the day I gave birth, they all said that you were the one who performed a caesarean section on me."

Su Bei exhaled, "Yes, yes, yes! It's me, it's me! I've seen people saving women in labor like this before, so I used this trick in a moment of desperation."

She was a very conservative woman in ancient times. If she knew that it was Su Xiujie who delivered the baby, she might have been very nervous.

You can’t tell me! You can’t tell me even if you kill me!

Empress Dowager Mei did not say anything, but silently recalled the purse on Chu Younan's waist.

The embroidery and stitches were definitely from Su Bei. Even the new palace maids didn't embroider so badly.

But the stitches on her belly were so fine and neat that they could not have been made by Su Bei.

She remembered that when she opened her eyes, the person she saw was Gu Rui.

Could it be him?

So, he saved me twice...

I can't just not repay the favor of saving my life.

After Su Bei left, Empress Dowager Mei calmly called the maid and said, "On the little princess' 100th birthday, I want someone to bless her. Go tell the emperor to find a few people who are good at divination."

The maid agreed and was about to go out, but Empress Dowager Mei said calmly, "I remember that the Heavenly Master is good at astrology. Tell the Emperor to count him in."

The maid told Chu Youyang all these words truthfully, but Chu Youyang was overwhelmed.

He didn't kill Gu Rui, but who knows where he went now? !
