Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Ling Su heard the voice and walked in quickly. Seeing Mo Chenyuan's painful expression, he shouted worriedly: "My Lord, I will go find the princess."

"Don't disturb her." Mo Chenyuan clenched his hands and tried hard to suppress his emotions.

Ling Su asked in confusion: "My Lord, why didn't you let the princess cure your headache?"

Mo Chenyuan didn't want to, and if possible he didn't plan to cure the poison in his body. Only when the poison attacked and he had a headache could he alleviate his guilt towards those soldiers.

Thinking of all the soldiers on the Moon-Watching Cliff surrounding him to protect him, he felt very guilty and hated himself for being unable to do anything at that time. He could only watch the soldiers in front of him fall one by one.

He was too ashamed to face them and could only let the poison torture him and let the headache remind him how he survived.

Ling Su knew that his prince had been living in guilt. If it wasn't for revenge for those soldiers, he would not have let the princess help him detoxify.

After a while, the painful expression on Mo Chenyuan's face slowly faded away, his knuckles were still slightly white, and the Buddhist beads in his hand were emitting a bright black light.

A hoarse voice sounded: "Send someone to follow Mo Jingxuan."

"Yes."

Ling Su opened his lips slightly, wanting to ask the prince again if he was sure he didn't want to find a princess. But looking at his prince's pale face, he hesitated.

The prince would not tell anyone about his headache unless he found out what happened a year ago.

He then bowed and said, "I will send someone to follow the Second Prince right away."

After Ling Su left, Mo Chenyuan's head still ached slightly and he recalled what happened a year ago. Now he was sure that he was ambushed by Murong Ye at Wangyue Cliff because he was betrayed.

But he didn't find any clues. All the clues were cleared after that day. It seemed that Mo Chenyuan felt that the ambush at Wangyue Cliff was just a dream.

Su Shengsheng quickly washed up and lay down on the bed. She was so tired after a long day that her eyelids were already drooping. She didn't care that Mo Chenyuan hadn't come yet and fell asleep quickly.

It was almost midnight when Mo Chenyuan came to Xuanluoyuan. He opened the door carefully, looked at Su Shengsheng sleeping soundly, raised the corners of his mouth, slowly lay down, and closed his eyes.

------

The next day.

When Su Shengsheng woke up, Mo Chenyuan was gone. Su Shengsheng thought that Mo Chenyuan had not come, so she asked Yi Wan who was setting food aside: "The prince didn't come last night?"

Yi Wan smiled and said, "The prince left the palace early in the morning. When he left, he specifically told the people in the yard to work more gently and not to disturb you."

Yi Wan handed the porridge to Su Shengsheng and said, "Princess, the prince really loves you."

Su Shengsheng took the porridge and drank two mouthfuls, the corners of her mouth raised, "Did the prince go to the palace?"

"That's right. This morning was the first time I saw the prince wearing the regent's court dress. He looked so handsome."

"Really? Then tell me why the prince is so good-looking?"

Yi Wan thought for a moment, "Hmm... He is handsome, has an upright figure, and, yes, has an air of inviolability."

Su Shengsheng thought of Mo Chenyuan's tall figure and the time when he was shirtless, and nodded: "He does have a good figure."

Yi Wan smiled and said, "Princess, it's really nice for me to see you and the prince together. I hope you can stay like this for a long time."

Su Shengsheng put down the bowl and said, "Silly girl, no one can stay with anyone forever. Maybe the prince and I have a good relationship today, but we will separate tomorrow."

After hearing this, Yi Wan became anxious, "Princess, what happened?"

"No, don't get excited." Su Shengsheng explained.

"Why did the princess say such a thing?"

Su Shengsheng explained: "I mean, sometimes it's hard to explain emotional matters."

"I don't understand, if they love each other, why do they separate in the end?"

Su Shengsheng shook her head, "I hope you won't have to experience the feeling I'm talking about in the future."

As they were talking, a maid came in respectfully, "Princess, the Third Imperial Consort is here to visit."

Su Shengsheng almost forgot that Gu Zhixiao was coming to visit, and nodded and said, "Take her to the front hall first, I'll be there in a while."

"Yes."

Yi Wan frowned, "Princess, the Third Imperial Concubine is from the Queen's side, you'd better be careful."

Su Shengsheng quickly finished the porridge and said, "I understand. Let's go."

When Gu Zhixiao and Yinhuan were waiting in the front hall, Yinhuan reminded him quietly: "Third Princess, this Regent Princess knows medicine. Stay away from her when you talk. Be careful that she might poison you!"

Gu Zhixiao frowned and looked at Yinhuan, "Don't think of her as badly."

"Why does the Third Imperial Concubine suddenly want to see me?" Su Shengsheng's voice rang out outside the front hall.

When Gu Zhixiao looked up at the door, Su Shengsheng had already walked in.

He immediately stood up and saluted, saying: "Zhixiao greets the Imperial Aunt."

Su Shengsheng walked straight to the main seat and sat down, "Get up."

Gu Zhixiao stood up and looked at Su Shengsheng. No wonder the third prince had been staring at her that day. She looked even more stunning than himself, and she seemed otherworldly.

Su Shengsheng had no makeup on her face, only pink lips and fair skin, but it did not affect her indifferent and aloof aura at all.

Gu Zhixiao said in a gentle voice: "Since Zhixiao married the Third Prince, she has not come to pay respects to the Emperor's uncle and aunt."

"You should know that the Prince Regent's Palace refuses to see visitors."

"Zhixiao naturally knows, but the rules are here. Even if the auntie rejects Zhixiao, Zhixiao can accept it."

Su Shengsheng couldn't help but look at Gu Zhixiao. She didn't expect Gu Zhixiao to be so well-educated and well-mannered. Was he pretending or was he really like this?

Su Shengsheng didn't want to guess, so she went straight to the point and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Gu Zhixiao knew that Su Shengsheng had misunderstood, but she did not explain. She knew what happened between Su Shengsheng and the third prince, so naturally Su Shengsheng would not look favorably upon anyone and anything related to the third prince.

With a gentle expression, he said, "Zhixiao knew that the Queen's aunt had been busy looking for a prescription for the epidemic these days, so he wanted to come and see if there was anything he could help with."

"My father has already set up a few porridge stalls outside. He doesn't want me to go outside the city. Zhixiao is worried about the refugees. He knows that if the aunt takes me out, my father will not say anything, so I came to find the aunt."

Su Shengsheng thought that the news of the prince settling accounts in the court yesterday must have spread throughout the capital, and the various noble families in the capital must have made some comments.

Gu Zhixiao's father was a great general guarding the country, so he could not be spared. What Su Shengsheng did not expect was that when the young ladies from the noble families in the capital heard that there was an epidemic, they would try their best to avoid it, but she was the one who rushed to it.

Let's first see what Gu Zhixiao is going to do. Su Shengsheng said, "It's a good thing that you care about those refugees, but this epidemic may be contagious. Are you sure you want to go?"

Gu Zhixiao nodded without hesitation, "Zhixiao is willing to go."

"Okay, I'll have someone take you there later."

"Zhixiao thanks the Imperial Aunt."

Gu Zhixiao walked out of the palace with a smile on his face. Yinhuan couldn't help asking, "Third Princess, the situation outside the city is unclear right now. What if you get infected if you go there? Besides, the master has repeatedly told you not to go."

Gu Zhixiao smiled and said: "Yinhuan, you know that although my father is a great general who protects the country, he never lets me show my face in public, let alone wield a sword or a gun."
