Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Gu Zhixiao felt uncomfortable during the journey, so she stood up and said, "Princess, Zhixiao will be back soon."

Su Shengsheng was competing with Bai Caorong in drinking capacity, so he nodded without paying attention and said, "Go ahead."

After Gu Zhixiao went out, she heard laughter in the corridor on the second floor. Her heart seemed to be filled with something. She did not bring the silver ring with her when she went out today.

I wanted to find the waiter to order some tea, but I didn't find anyone on the second floor, so I was about to go down to the first floor to look for him.

A gentle voice sounded behind Gu Zhixiao, "The Third Imperial Concubine."

Gu Zhixiao turned around, looked at the person in front of him, frowned and asked, "Do we know each other?"

Huaying smiled and walked closer, saying, "The Third Princess doesn't know me, but I know you."

Gu Zhixiao was stunned. Realizing that the other party had no good intentions, he wanted to distance himself, but it was too late. Huaying waved her hand lightly, and Gu Zhixiao closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no expression in his eyes and his whole body seemed very stiff.

Huaying opened her mouth slightly, "Third Princess, don't you like the Third Prince?"

Gu Zhixiao nodded blankly.

Huaying continued, "But the Third Prince doesn't like you. He likes the Regent Princess. Now that you have gained the Regent Princess's trust, now is a good time for you to take action."

Huaying whispered in Gu Zhixiao's ear: "Kill the Regent Princess, and from now on the Third Prince will only have eyes for you."

Gu Zhixiao nodded dully, muttering, "Kill the Regent Princess, and the Third Prince will be mine."

Huaying echoed, "Yes, kill the Regent Princess, and the Third Prince will be yours."

Then she pointed to the room that Gu Zhixiao had just come out of and said, "The Regent Princess is in there now. The Third Princess can take action now." Huaying took out a dagger and placed it in Gu Zhixiao's hand.

Gu Zhixiao nodded, and walked slowly towards the room with a stiff body, "Kill the Regent Princess, and the Third Prince will be mine."

She kept muttering until she stepped into the room. Qiu'er saw Gu Zhixiao coming in, so she ran over and said with a smile, "Where is the Third Imperial Concubine? Why did it take so long? The Princess drank a lot of wine and was looking for you."

Gu Zhixiao forced a smile at the corner of his mouth and nodded woodenly.

Qiu'er didn't notice anything unusual and pulled Gu Zhixiao towards Su Shengsheng.

Su Shengsheng's alcohol tolerance was average to begin with, and she lost miserably to Baicaorong. Her face flushed red, and when she saw Gu Zhixiao coming over, she picked up the wine glass and said happily, "You're finally here."

Gu Zhixiao didn't say anything. Yi Wan put the wine glass into Gu Zhixiao's hand and said, "The princess wants to drink with you."

Su Shengsheng raised her glass and said, "From now on, this princess declares that Gu Zhixiao is already my, Su Shengsheng's, friend."

Gu Zhixiao stood behind Su Shengsheng, looked at the smile on Su Shengsheng's face, and moved the dagger in his hand.

When everyone's eyes were on Su Shengsheng, no one noticed the dagger that Gu Zhixiao was slowly raising.

Just as Gu Zhixiao was about to stab, Bai Caorong saw the dagger in Gu Zhixiao's hand and immediately shouted, "Princess, be careful!"

Su Shengsheng had drunk a little too much and his mind was a little dazed, so he had no time to react. When Bai Caorong saw the dagger about to fall on Su Shengsheng, he immediately ran over to stop it.

Yiwan and Qiu'er hurriedly helped Su Shengsheng to the side. Bai Caorong's hand was just grasping the blade, and blood soon flowed through the fingers.

Gu Zhixiao didn't react. Bai Caorong frowned and put down her hand. Gu Zhixiao then held the dagger towards Su Shengsheng again and said, "If I kill you, the Third Prince will like me."

Yi Wan kicked the dagger out of Gu Zhixiao's hand and protected Su Shengsheng. Bai Caorong quickly hit Gu Zhixiao's neck, and Gu Zhixiao collapsed to the ground instantly.

Su Shengsheng pushed Yi Wan and Qiu'er away, looked at Gu Zhixiao lying on the ground, her brows furrowed, and she was almost sober.

Bai Caorong took out a handkerchief to stop the bleeding, squatted down to feel Gu Zhixiao's pulse, then stood up and said, "It's Chinese medicine."

Su Shengsheng put the wine glass in his hand on the table, "What medicine?"

"Losing Soul Powder. This medicine has two steps. The person who administers the medicine needs to administer it three days in advance. Then the second step is to use your voice to make the person who administers the medicine obey you, thereby changing the person's mind."

Bai Caorong glanced at Gu Zhixiao who was lying on the ground. "She took a small dose of Chinese medicine. She will be awake in a while."

Su Shengsheng knew about the Lost Soul Powder. Who would drug Gu Zhixiao and use her to kill herself?

Qiu Er patted her chest in fear. It was just a little bit and the princess would be injured. It was really too dangerous. Then she said to Su Shengsheng: "Princess, let's go back quickly."

Su Shengsheng suddenly thought of Su Qingqing. She had not paid attention to Su Qingqing in the past few days because of the epidemic. She must have been paying attention to her all the time. Knowing that Gu Zhixiao had to go out of the city every day, she wanted to use Gu Zhixiao.

Su Shengsheng sneered, "You really have a good plan."

Bai Caorong bandaged her hand and looked at Su Shengsheng, "Princess, do you know who did it?"

"Humph, who else could have come up with such a despicable idea? No one else but my good sister."

Yi Wan suddenly got angry and said, "Princess, let me quietly go over and tie up that concubine."

Su Shengsheng chuckled, "She is now the concubine of the Third Prince. Can you just kidnap her if you want to?"

Yi Wan pursed her lips and said, "Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?"

Su Shengsheng suddenly thought of a solution and said with a smile, "Who said we have to sit and wait for death?" Then he looked at Gu Zhixiao and said, "Didn't Su Qingqing want her to kill me? Then let's follow her plan. I want to see what she will do next after she knows I'm injured?"

Qiu'er said worriedly, "Princess, is this dangerous?"

"What kind of danger can there be? Although my body has not recovered at all, I have a friend by my side, and she is also good at martial arts."

When Bai Caorong heard Su Shengsheng say that her body had not recovered, she lowered her head in shame and said nothing. She thought that if the princess knew about this, she would probably suffer again.

Su Shengsheng stood up with the help of the table and said, "Okay, Qiu'er, go out and shout that I'm injured. The louder the better."

Qiu Er nodded, "Okay."

Then he looked at Yi Wan and said, "Go and help Gu Zhixiao up, and bring her back to the mansion quietly after I leave."

"Yes." Yiwan nodded.

Su Shengsheng looked at Bai Caorong, "As for you... whatever you want!"

Several dark lines appeared on Bai Caorong's face.

------

A moment later, Qiu'er's voice spread throughout the second floor, "Hurry up, the princess is injured, hurry up!"

When Huaying heard that the Regent Princess was injured, she hid in the corner and laughed. Then she quietly watched everyone busying around. Even the owner of Wanbaolou hurried over.

Seeing the blood on Su Shengsheng's chest, he shouted anxiously, "How could the princess be injured suddenly? Who did it?"

Qiu Er said anxiously: "Don't worry about these things now, please help my princess to the carriage quickly."

The shopkeeper finally reacted and immediately asked someone to carry Su Shengsheng away.

Bai Caorong followed up from behind, and the shopkeeper stopped Bai Caorong and said, "Mr. Bai Cao, the princess should be fine."
