Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Lin Mu scratched his head and nodded with a smile, "Sorry, I'm used to being called that."

"If nothing else, I'll take a rest."

"Well, brother..." Lin Mu realized that he had called the wrong name, so he covered his mouth and changed his words: "You should go to bed early."

Jun Yao said nothing and closed the door.

The smile on Lin Mu's face immediately disappeared, no longer as innocent as before, and then he left the door with an expressionless face.

The night wind was exceptionally cold. Under the hazy moonlight, Su Xingchen sat alone on the roof, holding the jade pendant he had picked up during the day, skillfully stroking the red on it.

Next to it were the pastries and broken candied haws bought for Su Shengsheng.

The cold wind blew, and Su Xingchen's hair swayed in the wind. The cold wind poured in through her collar and cuffs, but Su Xingchen did not feel a trace of coldness.

Thinking back to the first time Su Shengsheng saved him in the Wanbaolou underground casino, Su Xingchen still can't forget that reassuring smile.

He thought Su Shengsheng and Mo Chenyuan were forced to be together, but things changed in just a few months. He could see from Su Shengsheng's eyes that her feelings towards Mo Chenyuan were no longer the same as before.

Su Xingchen clenched the jade pendant in his hand. Su Shengsheng really fell in love with someone else, so what about him? What should he do?

Thinking of how he fought desperately with those people in the dark field, and that if he could pass the level sooner, he would be able to see Su Shengsheng sooner, he fought day and night, and shortened the three months to two months.

He thought he could protect Su Shengsheng by coming out, but unexpectedly... Su Xingchen laughed at himself. She no longer needed his protection.

Suddenly, a whistle was heard in the distance. Su Xingchen put the jade pendant in his arms and stood up vigilantly.

The whistle was neither near nor far away, just near the Regent's Palace. Su Xingchen tapped his toes and flew over following the whistle.

When Su Xingchen followed the whistle into a deep alley, the whistle stopped abruptly. Su Xingchen said coldly into the deep alley: "Who's there?"

There were rustling sounds of footsteps in the alley. Su Xingchen held the hilt of the sword with one hand and looked inside vigilantly.

Suddenly a dark figure rushed out. Su Xingchen immediately drew out the sword in his hand and pointed it at him. However, the figure knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "I finally found you."

Su Xingchen was slightly stunned, "Who are you?"

E Zhong looked at Su Xingchen and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, you...don't remember me?"

Su Xingchen brought the sword in his hand closer, "What do you want to do by luring me out here?"

E Zhong took out the whistle from his arms and said, "Your Highness, this is a whistle that only we can hear. You said before that if there is anything, you can use this to communicate."

Su Xingchen took the whistle from E Zhong's hand with some doubt. When he got closer, he saw that it was a small green flute, so he asked, "Who am I?"

"You are the Crown Prince of Tian'an Kingdom."

"who are you?"

E Zhong looked at Su Xingchen in surprise, "Your Highness, do you really not remember anything?"

Su Xingchen didn't say anything.

E Zhong's eyes dropped in disappointment. It seemed that what Prince Murong said was right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really didn't remember anything.

Then he looked up at Su Xingchen and said, "Your Highness, I am E Zhong, your personal bodyguard."

Su Xingchen threw the whistle in his hand to E Zhong, took back his sword, and took out the jade pendant from his arms, "This, is it what you left behind?"

E Zhong nodded.

Su Xingchen threw the jade pendant back and said, "I don't know you. Don't come to me in the future."

E Zhong said anxiously: "Your Highness, the Queen is very worried about you, will you come back with me?"

"I am Su Xingchen, not the Crown Prince as you said. Don't do these unnecessary things in the future."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

E Zhong said anxiously: "Your Highness, the eldest prince is also sending people to look for you everywhere. It doesn't matter if you don't go back, but you must be careful."

Su Xingchen ignored E Zhong and quickly left the alley. In fact, the moment E Zhong took out the whistle, some fragments of memory appeared in his mind.

He saw himself in a dark dungeon, with nails nailed into his hands and feet, and a pair of black boots stepping on his face, insulting him.

Combining what E Zhong said, it was not difficult for Su Xingchen to guess something, but he didn't have time to think about these things now. He just wanted to be a guard and protect Su Shengsheng.

The next day.

Mo Chenyuan and Su Shengsheng were having breakfast when Su Mingpei from the palace came to the palace.

When the butler came in to report, he saw Mo Chenyuan's cold eyes and was so frightened that he couldn't say anything.

If Su Shengsheng hadn't spoken, the housekeeper probably wouldn't have known what he was doing here.

Su Mingpei waited until the two had finished their meal before walking in.

Mo Chenyuan hated the people in the palace very much. They disturbed his and the princess's leisure early in the morning. He really wanted to slap Su Mingpei in front of him to death.

Su Shengsheng, however, was sensible and asked, "Eunuch Su, why are you here so early? Is there something wrong?"

Su Mingpei lowered his head and trembled as he said, "Your Highness, Princess, the Emperor knows that you are investigating the cause of Nanny Chen's death. This morning, Concubine Wen brought the maid who served Nanny Chen. The Emperor asked your Highness to go to the palace to inquire."

Su Shengsheng looked at Mo Chenyuan. Mo Chenyuan had no expression on his face. He just said calmly, "I know."

Su Mingpei stood there in a daze. He didn't know whether the prince meant to go or not, so he didn't move.

Su Shengsheng said gently: "Eunuch Su, you go back first, the prince and I will come later."

"Yes." Su Mingpei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The princess looked kind to him.

After Su Mingpei left, Su Shengsheng looked at Mo Chenyuan and said, "Let's go."

Mo Chenyuan then slowly stood up, holding Su Shengsheng's hand and walked out.

In the palace, Fanghua Palace.

A maid dressed in coarse cloth was kneeling there trembling.

Mo Chenxuan sat in the main seat, with Concubine Wen beside him.

"Prince Regent, the Princess Regent is here."

The eunuch's voice came in.

Mo Chenxuan looked over and saw that the maid was so frightened when she heard that the Regent was coming that she fell to the ground, her dirty face turning pale with fright.

Su Shengsheng was brought in by Mo Chenyuan's hand. Mo Chenyuan stood up and said, "You're here."

Mo Chenyuan watched Su Shengsheng sit down before he lazily sat down beside Su Shengsheng, "I'm glad that my brother still remembers this."

"As for Chen Yuan, I know how important Nanny Chen is to you, so I have had people investigate her, but it took such a long time before we found any clues."

Mo Chenyuan glanced at the maid kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "Tell me."

Mo Chenxuan looked at Concubine Wen, who nodded and said to the maid, "Tell the Regent everything you just said."

"Yes." The maid nodded fearfully, and then began to speak to Mo Chenyuan and Su Shengsheng. Halfway through her speech, she began to cry in fear, "Your Highness, it was the Queen who ordered me to do this. I really didn't mean it."

Su Shengsheng raised her eyebrows slightly. It was interesting. The dirty water was thrown on the person in the cold palace again.
