Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Su Shengsheng smiled and said, "Then tell me how she instructed you?"

The maid's trembling voice sounded, "The Queen... The Queen threatened me that if I didn't do what she said, she would kill my family. I had no choice but to... kill Nanny Chen."

After the maid finished speaking, Concubine Wen's voice rang out, "Your Highness, I didn't expect that the Queen couldn't even tolerate a nanny."

The maid was so scared that she lay on the ground. "I had no choice but to do this. I know I was wrong."

Mo Chenyuan looked coldly at the maid kneeling on the ground, then looked at Mo Chenxuan and said, "That's it?"

Mo Chenxuan didn't understand, and pointed at the maid and said, "Isn't that enough? Nanny Chen was killed by her."

"But this king is listening to the queen?"

Mo Chenxuan pursed his lips. Concubine Wen came over from behind and said, "My Lord, the Queen wanted to kill you and the Princess before. You also witnessed it. Then, wouldn't it be easy for her to kill Nanny Chen?"

"Is it your turn to speak now?" Mo Chenyuan swept a cold gaze over Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen's heart skipped a beat. The Regent's temper was really unpredictable.

Mo Chenxuan said from the side: "Chenyuan, I didn't expect the queen to be so vicious. I won't protect her anymore. How do you want to solve this problem?"

Mo Chenyuan slowly closed his eyes. Su Shengsheng knew that Mo Chenyuan didn't want to pay attention to him, so he said, "Your Majesty didn't get enough rest last night, please don't be offended."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Shengsheng glanced at the maid and continued, "Where did Concubine Wen find this maid?"

"I heard from the Imperial Concubine that it was in a village outside the city."

Su Shengsheng looked at Concubine Wen and said, "Really?"

Concubine Wen nodded gently, "That's right. I thought the cause of Nanny Chen's death was a little strange, so I asked someone to investigate. I didn't expect that I forgot about the maid who served Nanny Chen. By the time I remembered, she had already escaped from the palace."

"Thanks to my brother, he was able to find her."

Su Shengsheng stood up and walked to the maid, saying in a tone that did not allow for argument: "Raise your head."

Although the maid was afraid, she still slowly raised her head.

Five clearly visible finger marks appeared in front of Su Shengsheng, "Who hit me?"

The maid didn't dare to speak.

Concubine Wen knew who had given the mark on her face, so she said, "She tried to escape, so my brother beat her."

Su Shengsheng looked around the hall a few times, "Why is General Luo not here?"

"He went back before he recovered."

Su Shengsheng nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the maid kneeling in front of her and asked, "How did the Queen instruct you to poison Nanny Chen?"

"Your servant... Your servant..." The maid recalled carefully in her mind, "The Queen gave me a piece of incense and only asked me to light it in the room where Nanny Chen was resting. She didn't say anything else."

Su Shengsheng patted the maid's shoulder and said, "Is that all?"

The maid hid in fear, not daring to look at Su Shengsheng, and just nodded, "That's all. I know I was wrong, and I don't want to do this, but the Queen is so powerful that I dare not resist."

Su Shengsheng chuckled, and then walked back to Mo Chenyuan, "Since it was the Queen who killed Nanny Chen, how will Your Majesty deal with her?"

After Mo Chenxuan knew that the queen had killed Nanny Chen, he did not think of asking the queen to leave the palace. He said, "Killing someone means paying with one's life. The queen is so bold. I cannot let her stay."

After hearing this, Concubine Wen secretly rejoiced in her heart, but the next second Su Shengsheng said: "Since the queen is already in the cold palace, there is no need to move. I believe the environment in the cold palace is enough for her to bear."

Concubine Wen's lips, which had just been raised, froze on her face before they were lowered. Su Shengsheng actually pleaded with the Queen. Did she discover something?

Mo Chenxuan looked at Mo Chenyuan, "What does Chenyuan mean?"

Mo Chenyuan said calmly: "The princess's meaning is the king's meaning."

Concubine Wen put her hands in her sleeves and clenched them tightly. Contrary to what she had imagined, the Emperor often naggled over the Queen when she was in the cold palace. She was afraid that one day Gu Niman would take over the Phoenix Seal again. And she happened to hear from her brother that the Regent was investigating the matter of Nanny Chen.

In order to prevent the matter from being leaked, she discussed with her brother to put the blame of the murder of Nanny Chen on the Queen. She thought it was killing two birds with one stone, but in the end she only hit half of the arrow. It was a waste of all her hard work.

Concubine Wen looked at Su Shengsheng with hope and said, "Princess, the queen is so vicious, keeping her in the cold palace will always be a hidden danger..."

"What? Concubine Wen can't wait to execute the Queen?" Su Shengsheng asked back.

Concubine Wen immediately smiled and said, "I am also thinking about you."

"I have to thank Concubine Wen for this?" Su Shengsheng raised her eyebrows slightly.

Concubine Wen glanced at Mo Chenxuan beside her, lowered her head and said nothing.

Mo Chenyuan stood up, took Su Shengsheng's hand and said, "Now that the matter has been resolved, the king and the princess will leave first." After that, he pulled Su Shengsheng out of the hall.

Su Shengsheng looked at Mo Chenyuan who had been leading her forward, "Who do you think is behind this, Your Majesty?"

Mo Chenyuan said calmly: "Anyone could be involved."

Su Shengsheng stopped Mo Chenyuan who was still walking forward, "My Lord, I want to go to the cold palace."

Mo Chenyuan knew what Su Shengsheng was going to do, so he took Su Shengsheng's hand and walked towards the cold palace without saying anything.

Su Shengsheng felt that she was going further and further away. After turning a corner against a red wall, she saw an old and dilapidated palace. The red paint on the door had almost fallen off, and there were holes on the wall one after another.

The guards watched the Regent King and Princess Regent walking towards the cold palace, and hurried forward to salute and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess."

Su Shengsheng looked at the weeds growing beside the palace, and could imagine what the environment inside would be like. Mo Chenyuan said coldly, "Open the door."

"Yes."

The guard immediately stood up, took out the key and opened the dilapidated door. The door was slowly pushed open with a creaking sound, and a gust of cold wind immediately rushed out from inside. Mo Chenyuan stood in front of Su Shengsheng.

Then he took off his cloak and put it on Su Shengsheng, "Let's go."

The yard of the cold palace had no one to take care of it, so the weeds had grown almost as tall as Su Shengsheng. Mo Chenyuan carefully pushed aside the weeds, and what came into view were a few desolate little houses.

Only the door in the middle was open. Gu Niman was walking out with a bucket of water when she saw Mo Chenyuan and Su Shengsheng.

Gu Niman immediately put the bucket aside and knelt down.

Su Shengsheng looked at the queen who was once high and mighty and had become like this now, and she truly felt the meaning of the saying "Once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea".

Mo Chenyuan did not come forward, so Su Shengsheng walked up to Gu Niman and asked, "How is the Queen these days?"

Gu Niman's voice sounded a little hoarse, "I am already a commoner, how can I be worthy of being called the queen by the princess?"

"Humph." Su Shengsheng suddenly sneered, "Don't pretend. Don't think I don't know that Mo Jingheng comes to see you every now and then."
