Chapter 496 Dream Come True



At dawn the next day, Su Xiujie took him to wait outside the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Su Bei and Chu Younan were overjoyed and rushed to meet him.

Jiang Liu walked into the imperial study with red eyes and glanced at Chu Younan with disdain, "You dare to say that I can't do it within three days? I'll show you how powerful I, Jiang Liu, am!"

As he spoke, he took out a small medicine bottle. Inside was three or four small black pills, which should be the kind that could replace the two antidotes.

Chu Younan and Su Bei looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Tang Jiang ran in, "Your Majesty, Prince Dayu'an is waiting outside the palace, and he said he has something to discuss at the morning court!"

Chu Younan and Su Bei clenched their fists at the same time.

There are still civil and military officials in the morning court! If he poisons all the civil and military officials, it will be useless for Emperor Chu Younan to live, and he will be left alone!

This scene was about to coincide with Shan Tao's dream! Chu Younan came up with a quick solution, waved at Tang Jiang, and then said to Jiang Liu: "The divine doctor Jiang's poison skills are indeed amazing, but someone made this antidote last night..."

Jiang Liu's eyes widened instantly, "How is this possible? If my poison technique is second to none, no one in the world dares to claim to be first! How could someone be faster than me?!"

"That may not be the case." Chu Younan said calmly, "I asked him to make the antidote into incense within half an hour, but he couldn't do it. If you can do it, you are naturally better than him!"

Jiang Liu's desire to win prevented him from admitting defeat, so he immediately said, "If you can prepare all the herbs for me within one stick of incense, I can make it for you!"

There are abundant medicinal materials in the imperial palace.

Three quarters of an hour later, incense was lit in the hall, and all the civil and military officials lined up in an orderly manner. Chu Younan sat on the dragon throne, and Su Bei waited nervously behind the curtain.

After all the officials had attended court, Tangya also entered the hall. He was dressed very stylishly today, and it looked like he was wearing Yu'an's dragon robe.

Tangya walked in leisurely, waved his sleeves, bringing a gust of fragrant wind, but he frowned.

No one fell.

Could it be that the dose of his powder was too low? He walked forward, waving his sleeves with each step, as if dancing.

Su Bei's heart was in her throat, but when she saw that no minister fell, she knew that Jiang Liu's incense had worked.

Tangya had walked a few steps in front of Chu Younan, but still no one fell down.

"What important matter does Prince Dayu'an have today?" Chu Younan said in a steady voice. No one could tell that he was extremely nervous just now.

Tangya saw that his plan had not come to fruition, so he turned around and said, "Today, in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, I want to ask the emperor, I am at least the King of Dayu'an, and I am also a third-rank prince, but why is my Lin'an so much younger than his Yu'an, and the mansion is not even a little bit simple. Does the emperor look down on me?"

Chu Younan said without hesitation: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain."

Tell him clearly that you are the king of the Yu'an people, and I, Chu Younan, only recognize a wooden chicken.

Even though Tangya's eyes were about to spit fire, he was helpless. There were so many generals there, and they also had guards and secret guards. He was alone, and taking action would be tantamount to seeking death.

So he had to swallow his anger and retreat.

But he definitely hasn't finished yet. Su Bei knows it, and Chu Younan knows it too.

I have to give credit to Xiao Shantao for helping me pass this level today. Regardless of whether she just dreamed about it by chance or she really had this ability, she deserves credit for it.

After the court meeting, Su Bei returned to Kunning Palace.

Shan Tao might be worried too. When they reached the palace gate, Su Bei saw Shan Tao stretching her neck to look around. But Su Bei was not so self-indulgent. Little Shan Tao was probably worried that if the dream came true, her brother Ji Feng would not be able to come back.

"Shan Tao, come in with me." Su Bei said in a soft voice.

Shan Tao followed in and wanted to kneel, but Su Bei supported her and said, "From now on, you don't have to kneel when you see me. I want to make you a female official. Do you think it's okay?"

Shan Tao was slightly surprised. She had dreamed that the Queen Mother called her "sister" and that she had granted her and Ji Feng a marriage, but she had never dreamed of being a court lady.

A little unexpected.

"If you can't make up your mind, then discuss it with Jifeng. Jifeng!" Su Bei said, calling Jifeng out.

Ji Feng suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking very excited, "It's great to be a female official! It's just like a man being an official, so many people would love to do it, Shan Tao, please express your gratitude!"

Shan Tao looked at Zhi Zi hesitantly, then asked in a low voice: "Madam, are they like this?"

Su Bei smiled, "Not quite the same. I own some shops, and I want to teach you how to do accounting. Are you willing to learn?"

"Then... can I leave the palace and get married in the future?" Shan Tao asked timidly. It seemed that she still didn't know the difference between a court lady and a palace maid.

Su Bei subconsciously glanced at Ji Feng, only to see Ji Feng's face full of joy. "It's so nice to be a female official. We can talk about getting married later! Besides, when you become a female official, I will be so proud to tell my brothers that I have a sister who is a female official!"

Su Bei really wanted to punch him twice.

You have a big icy face, why are you so excited? Are you going to brag to others that you have a sister who is a court lady? I think you don’t have facial paralysis, but brain palsy!

Can't you see how resentful Shan Tao is when she looks at him? But Shan Tao still nodded resentfully. Although Brother Ji Feng doesn't seem to have any other feelings for her, it's good to let him show off.

Just as she nodded, before Shan Tao could express her gratitude, she heard Chu Younan's cheerful voice, "Queen! Queen! Where is the little Shan Tao in your courtyard? I must reward her well!"

Su Bei looked at Shan Tao with a smile, "You have made great contributions, the emperor wants to reward you!"

Shan Tao didn't understand what was going on, but she saw Chu Younan coming in with high spirits. When he saw her, he said directly: "Confer the title of Princess of Shanyin County and grant her a fiefdom!"

When Su Bei heard the name "Princess Shanyin", she almost spit out the tea she had just drunk. She remembered reading a book in which there was a Princess Shanyin who was said to be the inventor of the term "face-shou"...

But the emperor has already spoken, I am afraid it cannot be changed. Fortunately, this is the Princess of Shanyin County, not the Princess of Shanyin.

For Shan Tao, this title was obviously easier for her to understand. After all, female officials were a new thing, but princesses, county ladies and county ladies were well known to everyone. So Shan Tao temporarily forgot about her brother with cerebral palsy... uh no... it was her brother Ji Feng's ruthlessness, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

Why did Su Bei feel a little jealous? She was happy that she had survived the disaster, but Nan Nan gave Shan Tao a title without consulting her, which made her seem stingy.

"You have made a great contribution today, and the Emperor has appointed you as the Princess of the County. I still feel that this is not enough, so I want to recognize you as my sister..."

As soon as Su Bei said this, Shan Tao's eyes were full of surprise.

It seemed like this happened again in line with her dream!
