Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Bai Caorong's smile froze on her face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "This is the recipe I prepared for you..."

However, Qiu'er had already turned around and happily ran to the kitchen to prepare to boil medicine.

Only Bai Caorong was left standing alone and disheveled in front of the mansion gate.

Yi Wan was reporting Gu Zhixiao's matter to Su Shengsheng when she heard the maid hurriedly report, "Princess, the Third Imperial Concubine insisted on leaving the palace, and we couldn't stop her."

Su Shengsheng looked at Yi Wan and said, "Go and bring Gu Zhixiao over."

Yi Wan nodded respectfully, "Yes."

After a while, Yi Wan brought Gu Zhixiao to Wanxiangtang.

Gu Zhixiao was already crying and out of breath. When he saw Su Shengsheng sitting at the table safe and sound, he knelt down with a plop.

"Princess, my father is injured and his condition is unclear. I must go back."

Su Shengsheng said calmly: "If you go back now, will your father get better? Will your father appear in front of you immediately from the south?"

"I..." Gu Zhixiao choked and could only sob hard. She really couldn't do anything now, but she couldn't just sit there and wait to die when she heard that her father was injured.

She wanted someone to go to the south to find out what happened to her father?

Su Shengsheng knew what Gu Zhixiao was worried about, so she stood up and helped Gu Zhixiao up, saying in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, I have sent people to the south to inquire about your father's situation. All you can do now is wait for news from the south."

Gu Zhixiao nodded gratefully and said in a tearful voice: "Thank you, Princess. Zhixiao is very grateful."

"Okay, I'm being selfish by keeping you in the palace. If I don't help you with this little favor, then what's the difference between me, Su Shengsheng, and those who want to harm you?"

Gu Zhixiao reached out and wiped away the tears on her face. "Princess, I really don't remember anything that day. I don't know why I hurt you."

Su Shengsheng pulled Gu Zhixiao to sit down, "I know it's not you. The person behind the scenes wants to kill two birds with one stone, getting rid of me and you at the same time."

Gu Zhixiao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a worried look appeared on his face. He asked fearfully: "Who wants to harm us?"

Su Shengsheng did not hide it and pointed it out directly: "You took her place, and she wants to use you to get rid of me. Who do you think it could be?"

Gu Zhixiao was not stupid either, and immediately blurted out: "Is it Su Qingqing?"

Su Shengsheng nodded.

Gu Zhixiao stood up immediately in shock, "But...but aren't you her sister?"

Su Shengsheng said coldly: "I no longer have any relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Before Gu Zhixiao married the third prince, she had always stayed in the boudoir and knew very little about what was happening outside, so she had no idea what the relationship between the Regent Princess and Su Qingqing was.

Now that he heard that Su Shengsheng had severed ties with the Prime Minister's Mansion, worry immediately appeared on his face.

"Then does that mean the princess can't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion either?"

Su Shengsheng nodded, "It doesn't matter if you don't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I'm telling you this not to make you sympathize with me, but to make you understand one thing: people's hearts are hidden."

“You never know what the person who smiles at you will do next.”

Gu Zhixiao nodded. She had previously thought that Su Qingqing just liked the Third Prince, which was why she used all sorts of means to invite the Third Prince to her courtyard.

Now he has a heart of a vicious snake and even wants to harm his own sister.

Su Shengsheng watched Gu Zhixiao calm down, then poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Gu Zhixiao.

"Before Su Qingqing came again, no one in the palace knew that the general was injured. After she left, you knew it."

"Tell me, who wants you to know this?"

Gu Zhixiao sat down slowly with a teacup in her hand. Yes, even if the people in the palace knew that her father was injured, they would send someone to find out clearly before telling her.

And Su Qingqing did not prove it, but directly passed this news to her, whether it was true or not. What was her intention?

It's simply obvious.

As if he had made up his mind, Gu Zhixiao looked at Su Shengsheng and said, "Princess, I am willing to help you uncover Su Qingqing's true face."

Su Shengsheng shook her head and said, "I don't want you to do anything. I let you stay in the palace for your safety."

"But I..."

"Okay, I know what you mean. Leave the rest to me. Have a good rest. I will inform you as soon as there is any news from your father."

Su Shengsheng stopped Gu Zhixiao from speaking with just a few words. Gu Zhixiao could only nod helplessly. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Princess, if there is anything you need Zhixiao's help with, just call Zhixiao."

"Yeah." Su Shengsheng waved and said, "Let's go."

After Gu Zhixiao left, Bai Caorong walked in, "Oh, has the princess made another friend?"

Su Shengsheng looked at Bai Caorong and said, "You came quite early."

Qiu Er held the medicine and shouted from a distance, "Princess, Mr. Baicao gave me a prescription that can prevent colds. You should drink it while it's hot."

When she came in, Bai Caorong saw Qiu'er putting the medicine in front of Su Shengsheng, and then she walked up and asked, "Did Miss Qiu'er drink it?"

Qiu Er shook her head, "I just wanted to serve it to the princess after it was cooked."

Bai Caorong said with concern: "I just saw you shivering at the gate of the mansion. Miss Qiu'er, remember to take your medicine too."

Su Shengsheng saw all of Bai Caorong's little movements and saw that there was something wrong with the look in Bai Caorong's eyes when she looked at Qiu Er.

I smiled in my heart and said, "I see."

The Three Emperors' Palace.

Su Qingqing returned home and went straight to the study to find Mo Jingheng.

When Mo Jingheng heard that Su Qingqing didn't even enter the door, he threw the things in his hand aside in annoyance.

Su Qingqing stepped forward and raised her hand to gently press Mo Jingheng's temple. She said in a delicate voice, "Brother Heng, I think it is impossible for Sister Gu to hurt the Regent Princess. Someone must have framed Sister Gu."

"Poor Sister Gu is now locked up in the palace. If the general was here, he would definitely go to the palace to ask for her."

How could Mo Jingheng not know the character of the General? But now his injury was unclear and Gu Zhixiao was locked up in the palace. If he wanted to seek help from the General's mansion, only Gu Zhixiao could go.

"Tsk..." Mo Jingheng clicked his tongue impatiently.

Su Qingqing immediately cried, "Brother Heng, it's all my fault. I'm incompetent and can't see Sister Gu..."

Mo Jingheng knew that Su Qingqing had done her best, so he held Su Qingqing's hand with his big hand, "Okay, I don't blame you."

Su Qingqing nodded with sobs, hoping that Gu Zhixiao would die in the palace. In that case, the position of the queen would be hers, and Su Shengsheng would not suppress her.

------

Su Shengsheng has been staying in the palace these days, and Mo Chenyuan has never come to Wanxiang Hall since that day.

Instead, someone sent a letter from the south, saying that the general who guards the country is out of danger.

This made Gu Zhixiao feel a lot more relieved.

Su Shengsheng didn't ask where Mo Chenyuan was, but just asked someone to keep an eye on Su Qingqing.

Unexpectedly, Su Shengsheng had waited for the opportunity. After lunch, Yi Wan hurried in and said, "Princess, she's out."

"Oh?" Su Shengsheng raised her eyebrows and put down the teacup in her hand. "Where did she go?"
