Su Bei looked relaxed. "It's good that it's her. I don't think Duan Zhanfang is that kind of person. This inference is a bit too weird."
As for Chu Younan's question, Su Bei did have some ideas in her mind, but when she thought of Xue Jinrong being blocked in Duan Zhanfang's room by Chu Younan, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
"What are you laughing at!" Xue Jinrong came in angrily.
When Su Bei saw her expression, he wanted to laugh even more. "You thought the most dangerous place was the safest place, right? You miscalculated, didn't you?"
"If you dare to tell him that I'm here, I will break up with you!" Xue Jinrong threatened angrily.
"I won't tell him, but tell me first, how did you two get together." Su Bei said as he asked the two to sit down and had someone serve tea and snacks.
Xue Jinrong finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't mention it. I had just left the palace for a while when I saw my third brother riding over. I thought he was here to look for me, so I hid in a sedan chair on the side of the road in a hurry..."
I wanted to hide for a while and then leave, but I was blocked by the owner of the sedan chair.
When Duan Zhanfang first saw a man hiding in the sedan chair, he was almost scared to death, but when the two looked at each other, they found that the other person was an acquaintance.
"Is it you?"
"Why is it you?"
The two said in unison.
"Don't mention it. Since we all know each other, let me hide for a while." Xue Jinrong relaxed.
Duan Zhanfang agreed and told her to hide in the sedan chair until they arrived at the blind date location and then he would quietly let her down.
Without anyone noticing.
Before he arrived at the place, he met Fang Tongpu and saw a murder scene.
Duan Zhanfang also knew that she should let her uncle sit in her sedan chair, but could she let him? Xue Jinrong, the current queen was hiding in her sedan chair, would she dare to let him sit?
So there was that scene on the street, and then there were all these things that happened afterwards.
"Hahaha, there's really no coincidence in the world. Can you tell me why you ran out this time?" Su Bei asked with a smile.
"Why?" Xue Jinrong was full of dissatisfaction. "Isn't it because I want to select a concubine for him? When we got married earlier, I hoped that he wouldn't be able to become the crown prince or the emperor, so that I wouldn't need so many women in the backyard. Who knew that he could actually become the emperor!"
Indeed, it was a coincidence, otherwise Chu Youyang would never have been the candidate to be the emperor. If any of his brothers had died, it would not have been his turn.
Xue Jinrong finished speaking and looked at Chu Younan. "Third brother, don't you think that he is playing the emperor too lightly? It's better not to let him be the emperor. I think you are the most suitable..."
Before she could finish her words, she sensed something was wrong.
She didn't want her husband to have three palaces and six courtyards, and Su Bei didn't want it even more. The throne of emperor was pushed back and forth, which was unprecedented and unparalleled.
"I...I don't want to participate in the talent show either." Chu Younan lowered his head and drank tea awkwardly.
Su Bei then looked at him with satisfaction, "That's right, having one concubine in our courtyard is already troublesome enough, if there are a hundred or eighty more, I'm afraid I won't be mad enough to die."
The thought of competing with a hundred or eighty women made Su Bei feel overwhelmed.
"That's right, I don't like it either, so what are you waiting for me to do if I don't run?" Xue Jinrong complained.
Duan Zhanfang remained silent the entire time. Seeing that the atmosphere gradually relaxed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, the prince found out. If the emperor had found out, I would have lost my head. I am destined to be unlucky. It's not easy for me..."
A mistake.
Su Bei and Xue Jinrong couldn't help but chuckle.
Xue Jinrong patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, I think it's not your problem at all, this is just an accident."
"I hope so..." Duan Zhanfang exhaled softly. She really didn't want to be a jinx!
However, there are some things that are beyond her control.
A lot of patrol officers were added to the capital, but still no trace of Xue Jinrong was found.
Chu Youyang was alone in the imperial study, pacing back and forth on the floor like a trapped beast, feeling restless and anxious.
"Xue Jinrong, you are amazing! You actually stole my badge!" Chu Youyang said angrily, "You didn't even ask to take me with you when you were leaving. Now I can't get out!"
But it was Xue Jinrong's departure that made the two Empress Dowagers more determined to hold a beauty contest for him.
"I think the queen is too willful." Queen Mother Yao shook her head repeatedly.
"Yes, it's impossible for an emperor to guard one person alone." Empress Dowager Mei also agreed.
"Let alone the emperor, even Nan'er has to carry on the family line." Queen Mother Yao continued, "It's better to have many offspring. The Regent Princess already has children, and she didn't run away just because Nan'er took a concubine."
"Yes, the Regent Princess is sensible." Queen Mother Mei agreed, "In fact, Youyang is not suitable to be the emperor. He is still too naughty. Otherwise, let the Regent sit on the throne."
"It has come to this. Fortunately, they have a good relationship and did not kill each other like other brothers. Let's not make trouble anymore." Queen Mother Yao looked at the window with a far-reaching gaze. "The King of the North is definitely not here to play. I am afraid that the Wu Kingdom is unstable. Let's not make trouble anymore..."
"Yes, that curse when the snow girl died...Alas!" Empress Dowager Mei sighed heavily.
"No more talking, no more talking. It won't affect my mood." Queen Mother Yao smiled, "Bring the little princess here for me to see. Have you gained weight recently?"
"She's gotten fatter. This wet nurse takes good care of her." Empress Dowager Mei also smiled.
There are probably not many children like this in the world. They love to drink goat's milk, but if they find a wet nurse, they will not eat it.
It seems that this child knows that he was saved by Gu Rui and has feelings for him.
Gu Rui came in holding the little princess. Queen Mother Yao didn't notice him at first, but he was afraid of being exposed, so he put the child down and wanted to leave.
When he left, the little princess couldn't stand it anymore and started crying loudly.
"You child, why do you not want your good mother but are so close to your wet nurse?" Queen Mother Yao said with a smile, wanting to see what was so special about this wet nurse.
After this look, she discovered some clues.
When he was holding the little princess just now, Gu Rui's big bun was a little crooked. Because it was too big, it was particularly eye-catching.
Queen Mother Yao was smart and immediately became suspicious. After taking another look, she discovered the clue.
Adam's apple.
This wet nurse actually had an Adam's apple! Coupled with his tall stature, Queen Mother Yao immediately felt something was wrong.
"Sister, look, the little princess likes your handkerchief." Empress Dowager Mei quickly changed the subject.
Queen Mother Yao quickly retracted her gaze and said with a smile: "Since she likes it, then give it to her."
