Chapter 451: Just a chess piece

The prince returned to his yard and asked his servants to find an old nanny.

As soon as the old nanny came over, the prince quickly stood up and held his hands in his hands, "Aunt Xia, I have something to do for you right now."

Mother Xia nodded lightly and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "Min'er's husband has passed away and she has to go to the capital to attend the funeral. She will have to stay in mourning for three years."

“It’s just that Min’er’s character is known to my mama. I’m afraid that she might cause some trouble during the mourning period. I asked her to come here because I want her to keep an eye on her. If by any chance, she doesn’t obey—”

The prince sighed, "If she is really disobedient, at least give her a life -"

Grandma Xia lowered her eyes and nodded slightly. This meant that if Xiao Min turned out to be a demon, she would have to be bedridden all year round.

"I know, my lord, please rest assured. As long as I am here, I will never let the princess do anything that is disgraceful to the family tradition."

The prince let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's just a big thank you. I've been away for three years."

Mother Xia smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter. For me, as long as I can serve my master, it doesn't matter where I am."

The prince nodded, "In three years, I will send someone to pick up grandma."

Grandma Xia responded and went back to collect her bottles and jars.

That night, Su Chen did have a fever. In the middle of the night, he started to have trouble again. Doctor Zhao prescribed another prescription. The maid boiled the medicine and gave it to Su Chen. At dawn, Su Chen felt better.

After the prince heard about it, he came to Su Chen's yard early in the morning to visit him personally.

Su Chen was lying on the bed, although he was very weak, but his mind was clear. He reluctantly bowed to the prince on the bed and said: "Uncle, I have to go back to the capital quickly - I cough cough cough -"

The prince quickly raised his hand to interrupt him, "How can you get on the road when you are so sick?"

"I have arranged the **** carriage for you. You need to recover from your illness first, and then it will not be too late to set off."

Su Chen shook his head, "Uncle, I have to leave today. If my father comes to Beijing and I, the son, fail to greet him, I, I - cough cough cough -"

The prince sighed, "Child, it's good to be filial, but you can't ignore your own health."

He thought for a moment and said, "That's all. If you want to go, just go. I'll have someone bring you the medicine, and I'll ask Doctor Qin to go with you."

“I have arranged the route. I will not go through Huainan County and go directly north to Dongshan County. I shouldn’t encounter too many refugees.”

Su Chen nodded slightly.

The prince said again: "Your mother -"

Su Chen’s expression changed and he closed his eyes.

The prince sighed and said, "Where is your mother? I gave her a good lesson and she will leave with you."

"Chen'er, from now on, your father is no longer here. If you have something to discuss with your uncle, if you are not sure, you can also write to me and ask me."

He reached out and touched Su Chen's head, "Although your mother is not a good person, my uncle will always be your uncle. If you have any difficulties, just write to your uncle."

Su Chen nodded slightly on the pillow.

The prince said a few more words, then got up and went out.

An hour later, Su Chen was wrapped in a quilt and carried to the carriage. One hundred guards escorted Su Chen and Xiao Min to the capital.

After another half a month, it was the day when the Gongyuan released the results.

Several scholars living in Gu Fei's shop went to the gate of Gongyuan early in the morning to wait for the results to be released.

Gu Fei sent Tieniu out and wrote him a note with Su Chen's name written on it, asking him to look for these two words on the list.
