Fortunately, Chu Younan read Empress Dowager Mei's thoughts at this moment and quickly rescued her.

However, Empress Dowager Mei, who had always been pure and innocent in the eyes of everyone, was exposed by her son in public today for secretly keeping a man. She felt that she would rather die than live. When banging her head against the pillar failed, she wanted to bite her tongue.

Chu Younan had no choice but to press her acupoints.

There was silence in Renshou Palace.

Chu Youyang was filled with remorse for having acted impulsively in a moment and nearly killed his own mother.

The only disharmony was the seemingly calm Bei Yanming and the happy Liang Zhu.

As for Bei Yanming's joy, Chu Younan was prepared. He had known for a long time that the Dark Emperor had appeared in the Wu Kingdom and it was impossible that he was just here for fun.

But Liang Zhu's joy surprised Chu Younan.

"Liang Zhu, arrange for Emperor Ming and the Ruan family's mother and daughter to rest in the Cining Palace." Chu Younan ordered.

Liang Zhu agreed, and after he left with Bei Yanming, Chu Younan ordered Ling Xiao to keep a close eye on Liang Zhu.

Renshou Palace was quiet.

After a long while, Chu Youyang finally spoke: "Third brother, why do you think the Queen Mother did this?"

Chu Younan said in a deep voice: "I believe in the character of Empress Dowager Mei, and I also believe that the relationship between them is not what you imagined. The young eunuch in Cining Palace fainted due to excessive blood loss, and Rui Niang died suddenly due to excessive blood loss. This matter must not be that simple."

“But no matter what their relationship is, if someone knows that there is a man in the palace…” Chu Youyang was anxious.

Su Bei said indifferently, "This matter must not be known to others, so the most urgent task is not to continue to dwell on it, but to issue a gag order and find out who is behind this."

This makes sense.

Queen Mother Yao nodded repeatedly in agreement.

As they were discussing, someone came to report that Gu Rui had woken up.

Chu Youyang even wanted to kill him, but the most important thing right now was to find out what happened last night.

Gu Rui was carried up.

At this moment, his face was pale and his mind was probably a little unclear. When he saw Chu Youyang, he even deliberately greeted him in a low voice.

Everyone present already knew that he was a man, and perhaps he was the only one who thought he had hidden it well.

"Gu Rui, what happened last night?" Chu Younan said in a deep voice.

Gu Rui was still dazed and spoke in a thin voice, "The little princess was sick last night..."

Before, he dressed up as a woman, and although I thought his voice was awkward, I had to put up with it. But now when I listen to it again, it just feels awkward.

Especially Chu Youyang, he had already clenched his fists and seemed to be eager to beat him up.

"We already know your identity, there's no need to disguise yourself anymore." Chu Younan said, holding his forehead.

Gu Rui was startled at first, then he went to check his two big buns, but he found nothing. Only then did he regain consciousness.

"I am guilty. I shouldn't have deceived the Emperor and the Empress Dowager..." He said as he climbed up.

Chu Youyang gnashed his teeth, "Shut up! Tell me what happened last night!"

Although the situation was tense, Su Bei couldn't help but want to laugh. He was told to shut up and talk at the same time. I'm afraid Chu Youyang was also confused! Gu Rui barely managed to calm down and said, "After settling the little princess last night, I returned to my room and I suddenly started bleeding from the nose. It got worse and worse, and then I didn't know anything."

He didn't know, but Chu Younan already knew.

Last night, he suddenly felt his blood flowing, and after kissing Queen Mother Mei, he ran back to his room. But for some reason, there was a great power in his body that controlled him, and he wanted to do something he loved...

Although he tried hard not to take action, he couldn't help thinking about it in his mind, and as a result, his nosebleed couldn't stop, and it kept gushing out like a fountain...

"Let's carry him out first!" Chu Younan waved his hand.

Chu Youyang wanted to carry him directly to the mass grave.

Fortunately, Chu Younan suppressed him with his eyes.

After Gu Rui left, the others continued their discussion.

"Let the imperial physician check what Gu Rui ate last night. There may be something wrong with his diet." Chu Younan ordered.

"Third brother!" Chu Youyang couldn't sit still any longer, "Why are you still caring about what he does? He should be executed!"

Chu Younan glanced at him and said, "I'll take care of this matter. Let's talk about your business first. Do you want to participate in the talent show or not?"

Chu Youyang suddenly calmed down. He sat down and put on a nonchalant look, "Of course I have to choose! Talent shows are so fun. I didn't know before that all the girls are different..."

Chu Younan glared at him. What kind of words were these? Was it appropriate to say them in front of Queen Mother Yao and Su Bei? "Your mother is not here, so just tell the truth." Su Bei curled his lips.

Chu Youyang was now normal, "Actually I didn't want to participate in the selection, I didn't do anything with that palace maid..."

Queen Mother Yao's eyes were not right. They had heard such a big noise standing outside the door, but he hadn't done anything yet. I really didn't know what else he was going to do! "It's not like that!" Chu Youyang felt something was wrong and hurried to explain, "I deliberately let her scream... No, no, we were just sitting there, and then I let her scream... We were all wearing clothes!"

He already looked embarrassed.

Queen Mother Yao's expression finally became more normal. "In that case, then let's not hold the beauty contest. However... the Queen has no children, and you can't be childless..."

"Third brother has it!" Chu Youyang said anxiously, "I've already said that I don't want to be the emperor, let him be the emperor!"

Queen Mother Yao was inexplicably happy. That’s what she thought, but she didn’t expect it to be so easy.

Chu Younan wanted to give in, "Actually, you've done a good job as an emperor..."

Queen Mother Yao interrupted him, "Are you sincere when you say this, Youyang? Are you really willing to give up the throne to the regent?"

"I couldn't ask for more!" Chu Youyang looked relieved. "Can you give it to him quickly? Right now! What procedures are required? I'll have someone bring the imperial seal right away!"

Queen Mother Yao's joy was no longer concealed. She was about to say something when she heard Su Bei say, "Wait a minute!"

Queen Mother Yao looked at Su Bei, and saw that she was suspicious. "Does it have to be selected to be an emperor? Does it have to have three palaces and six courtyards?"

“Of course there must be one!” Chu Youyang almost jumped up, “Just in time! The talent show is halfway through, just let Third Brother take over directly!”

Su Bei's face darkened.

Queen Mother Yao's smile gradually faded, "Since ancient times, the royal family has always attached great importance to offspring..."

"Cancel the draft!" Chu Younan said solemnly, "If you want me to sit on the throne, the draft must be canceled!"

Queen Mother Yao's expression became even gloomier. "Nan'er, there is no precedent for this..."

"Then I will set this precedent!"

Chu Younan looked at Su Bei with a determined look.

After finally getting Chu Youyang's consent, Queen Mother Yao naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity because of this. Just as she was about to open her mouth to agree, she heard someone come to report.

"Your Majesty! The eunuch Chi Yu from the Cining Palace has hanged himself!"
