Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Yi Wan looked at the clearly visible finger marks on Xiaoya's face and touched them distressedly, "She hit you again."

Xiaoya couldn't hold back her tears any longer, "Yiwan, I really can't stand it anymore, she..."

Xiaoya was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. Yiwan took out a handkerchief and wiped Xiaoya's tears. "Sister Xiaoya, don't cry. I will take you to see the princess now."

Yiwan pulled Xiaoya into the mansion and went straight to Wanxiang Hall.

Qiu'er had just poured a cup of tea for Su Shengsheng when Xiaoya came in and knelt in front of Su Shengsheng, "Princess, please save this servant."

Su Shengsheng looked over and saw that Xiaoya now was very different from the last time she saw her in Guangzhao Temple. She had lost a lot of weight.

"Did she hit you again?"

Xiaoya nodded while crying, "Princess, as long as you can save me, I will agree to any conditions you put forward."

Su Shengsheng took a sip of the teacup slowly, "How do I know you're not lying to me?"

Yi Wan wanted to say that Xiaoya was not that kind of person, but the princess gave her a look and she had to shut up.

Xiaoya knew that if she came here rashly, the princess would definitely be suspicious, so she had to roll up her sleeves to expose her arms covered with whip marks, "Princess, Concubine Su heard that the general had returned safely, so she took her anger out on me and... she..."

Xiaoya started crying again, and Yiwan comforted her: "Sister Xiaoya, tell me everything, the princess will help you."

Xiaoya wiped her tears and continued, "Concubine Su captured my sweetheart. Now, because her plan failed, she got angry and beat my sweetheart to death. Princess, I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I came to you."

Su Shengsheng put down the teacup and said, "Okay, since you really want my help, I will help you." Then he stood up and said, "But you should know what you have to do, right?"

Xiaoya nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know."

Su Shengsheng nodded, "Yiwan, take her away and take good care of her."

"Yes."

After Yi Wan helped Xiao Ya out, Su Shengsheng looked at Qiu Er, "How is the Prime Minister's Mansion these days?"

"Replying to Princess, the Prime Minister's wife has been staying in the courtyard recently, and Concubine Su went back yesterday."

Su Shengsheng raised her eyebrows slightly, "It seems that it is time to go and see the Prime Minister's wife."

Qiu Er asked in confusion: "Princess, isn't she already crazy?"

"Humph." Su Shengsheng sneered, "You'll know whether he's crazy or not after you go and take a look."

Qiu Er suddenly realized, "Could it be that Madam is pretending?"

Su Shengsheng just smiled and said nothing.

The Third Prince's Mansion.

There was a sound of broken porcelain coming from Su Qingqing's yard. "You useless thing, you can't even do such a small thing."

Huaying stood aside with her head bowed. Su Qingqing stepped forward and pinched Huaying's chin. "Didn't you see Su Shengsheng dying with your own eyes? Didn't you tell me that she couldn't survive?"

Huaying didn't say anything. Su Qingqing was so angry that she slapped him directly, "What use do I have for you?"

Huaying knelt down quickly, "It was my negligence. I didn't expect the Regent Princess to take advantage of my trick."

Su Qingqing looked at Huaying with a ferocious face, "I told you a long time ago that Su Shengsheng is very cunning. You have to be careful when dealing with her. Look at what you have done now."

Su Qingqing pointed at Huaying and continued angrily: "Su Shengsheng is fine in the palace, Gu Zhixiao has returned safely, and the general is also unharmed."

Huaying said apologetically: "Master, if you give me one more chance, I will definitely kill the Regent Princess."

"It's too late to give you any chance now. Su Shengsheng must have been prepared." Su Qingqing sat on the stool angrily.

His mind raced, and then he said to Huaying, "Just keep staring at Su Shengsheng, don't do anything else."

"Yes."

After Huaying left, a maid hurried in, "Concubine Su, Xiaoya hasn't come back since she left the house yesterday."

"What?" Su Qingqing stood up directly from the stool.

The maid nodded fearfully.

Su Qingqing clenched her fists in anger, and said angrily, "Go find him quickly, whether he is dead or alive, I want to see him."

"Yes." After hearing this, the maid hurriedly walked out.

After the maid left, Su Qingqing shouted irritably, "Ah... I'm so annoyed!"

"Qingqing, what's wrong?" Mo Jingheng's voice came from outside.

Su Qingqing immediately looked over in panic, and saw Mo Jingheng walking in. She hurriedly stepped forward, changed into a pitiful look, and said softly: "Brother Heng, you're back."

Mo Jingheng looked at the mess on the ground and hugged Su Qingqing in his arms, "Who made Qingqing unhappy again?"

Su Qingqing fell shyly into Mo Jingheng's arms, "The people below are rash in their actions, and I can't beat or scold them, so I have to..." She lowered her eyes and sobbed softly.

After hearing this, Mo Jingheng said angrily, "Who is so bold as to displease the master? Call her over."

Su Qingqing raised her eyes and looked at Mo Jingheng, "Brother Heng, it's not a big deal."

"That won't do. You are the master. As a servant, you can't give the master a bad face. This prince will punish her severely."

Mo Jingheng found a place to sit down and looked at Su Qingqing, "Why, you can't call me?"

Su Qingqing said awkwardly: "She is from my sister's side, I can't..."

When Mo Jingheng heard that it was someone from Gu Zhixiao's side, his frown relaxed, he patted his robe and said with a smile: "The third imperial concubine is back, have you gone to see her?"

Su Qingqing pursed her lips, "I haven't yet."

"No wonder Zhixiao's maid doesn't respect you. After all, Gu Zhixiao is the principal wife. You are wrong for not visiting her the first time she comes back."

Su Qingqing's nails dug into her flesh, and she forced a smile, "It's my fault. I'll go see my sister right away."

Then he bowed and turned to leave. Mo Jingheng saw that Su Qingqing was not very happy, so he stepped forward to stop Su Qingqing and apologized, "Qingqing, that's not what I meant."

"The Third Prince is right. Although I am a concubine, I am no different from a concubine. I will go to see the Third Imperial Concubine now."

When Mo Jingheng wanted to stop her again, Su Qingqing had already walked out quickly.

After Su Qingqing came out, she made up her mind that Mo Jingheng didn't love her as much as she imagined, and all the sweet words he said before were just for her benefit.

Now that the general is back and his father is still in prison, even a fool can see which backer is more important.

There was no expression on Su Qingqing's face. She walked towards Gu Zhixiao's yard, with the maid following closely behind her. Su Qingqing suddenly stopped and the maid bumped into her.

Su Qingqing turned around and slapped him directly, "Are you blind?"

The maid covered her face and knelt down aggrievedly, "Please spare me, Concubine. I didn't mean to bump into you."

Su Qingqing frowned, but didn't think too much about it, and said coldly: "Get up."

The maid stood up tremblingly, "Thank you, Concubine Su."

Su Qingqing shook her sleeves and said, "I'm going to Guangzhao Temple to fulfill my vow. Please let me know in advance."

"Yes." The maid left in a hurry, fearing that Concubine Su would be angry again the next second.
