Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

"Your Majesty, the prince treats me very well."

"I heard that you were kidnapped when you returned home. Do you know who it was?"

Su Shengsheng was stunned. As expected of the emperor, he could not hide anything. So she asked respectfully, "I was also scared at the time. I didn't see what the man looked like."

Mo Chenxuan looked at Mo Chenyuan, "Chenyuan, have you found out who it is?"

"They've all been killed!"

Mo Chenxuan's eyes changed slightly, and then he returned to his usual amiable look, and said with a smile: "It's good that it's been resolved, sit down."

"Yes."

After Su Shengsheng sat down, he glanced at Mo Chenyuan's expression and was certain that there was a story between the two brothers.

There was singing and dancing below, and after the song was over, Queen Gu said, "Your Majesty, seeing how well Le Shang Fang danced reminded me of my niece, who danced Ten Miles of Beauty very well."

Mo Chenxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, really?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Now that the Queen has said that, may I take a look?"

"Of course. I'll ask my niece to prepare it right away."

"Okay." Mo Chenxuan nodded.

Queen Gu whispered something to the people around her, then smiled and said to Mo Chenxuan: "Your Majesty, please drink some fruit wine first."

"Yeah." Mo Chenxuan took the wine glass.

Su Shengsheng was playing with her sleeves under the table out of boredom and glanced at Qiu'er.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"How long will it take to finish?"

"It may be the time for the young ladies from various families to perform."

Su Shengsheng frowned, "Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? Why are these rich girls going to perform?"

Qiu'er whispered, "The emperor has three princes who are still unmarried, so these young ladies from noble families want to be appreciated by the princes or favored by the emperor."

"The ones sitting down there?"

"Yes, the ones sitting there are the eldest and second princes."

Su Shengsheng looked at the two princes wearing black robes and jade belts below, frowned and asked, "Why is the third prince not here?"

Qiu Er looked around and found that Su Qingqing was not there either, so she replied, "I guess the Third Prince is with the Second Miss."

"The people are all here, so won't the emperor say anything?"

"Since the Third Prince is the Empress's legitimate son, His Majesty dotes on him very much. Normally, His Majesty would not force him to attend a palace banquet like this."

Su Shengsheng supported her head with one hand, "No wonder the Third Prince is so unscrupulous."

Gu Niman didn't see Mo Jingheng downstairs, so she frowned and asked the servant next to her, "Where is the third prince?"

"Replying to the Queen, the Third Prince has not yet arrived."

"When has the party started? Why don't you go find him?"

"Yes, I'll go right away." When the maid was about to leave, Gu Niman said, "Wait a minute."

"Do you have any other instructions?"

"Tell Xiao'er to wait until the Third Prince arrives before coming up."

"Yes."

At this time, Su Qingqing was nestled in Mo Jingheng's arms, and her tender voice rang out, "Third Prince, when will you go to the mansion to propose marriage?"

"Qing'er, why are you in such a hurry? I still need to communicate more with my mother."

Su Qingqing got up from Mo Jingheng's arms angrily, "Does the Third Prince dislike Qing'er?"

"How could that be?" Mo Jingheng said with a smile.

"Then why hasn't the Third Prince told the Queen that you want to marry me?"

Mo Jingheng held Su Qingqing in his arms, "My mother does need some time, Qing'er, just wait."

"As long as the Third Prince marries me, our Su family will only stand on your side. You know that my father is the prime minister in the court, and his opinion is the opinion of many people."

Mo Jingheng's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he said with a smile: "This prince will not let you down."

"Well, the party has been going on for a long time, let's go back."

"it is good."

When Mo Jingheng came back, Mo Chenxuan saw him and asked, "Where have you been for so long since the banquet started?"

Mo Jingheng immediately bowed and said, "Father, I ran into the second young lady of the Su family on the way here and got lost, so I was delayed for some time."

Su Qingqing came in from the main hall, and she stepped forward and saluted respectfully, saying, "I, the daughter of the Prime Minister, Su Qingqing, pay my respects to His Majesty."

"Are you Su Qingqing?"

"Your Majesty, this is me." Su Qingqing lowered her head and did not dare to raise it.

Su Shengsheng glanced at Su Qingqing who was so shy and sneered in her heart, she really was worthy of being called a white lotus.

"You don't come to the palace often, so you'd better follow your father closely to avoid getting lost."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"Take a seat!"

"Yes."

After Su Qingqing sat down, the shyness on her face disappeared the moment she saw Su Shengsheng.

After Mo Jingheng sat down, a melodious music sounded, and then a beautiful woman in a red dress began to dance gracefully, holding a red flower in her hand.

Su Shengsheng couldn't help but take notice. The beauty in front of her had a great figure. Su Shengsheng thought that it would take more than ten years of practice to acquire such dancing skills.

After the song was over, everyone present was amazed and applauded continuously. Mo Chenxuan also clapped his hands happily, "Not bad, not bad, better than Le Shangfang's dance."

Gu Zhixiao knelt down happily and said respectfully: "Your humble daughter Gu Zhixiao pays respect to His Majesty."

“You dance very well.”

The Queen also said happily, "That's right, Your Majesty. She is my niece. Her dancing is far better than mine back then."

"The Queen is being modest again."

"I am just telling the truth."

Su Shengsheng secretly glanced at Mo Chenyuan next to him, who was just drinking by himself without even raising his head the whole time.

Su Shengsheng thought to herself, "That's right. He has a hidden illness. Even if he falls in love with her, what can he do? The beauty may not want to be with him."

Then he sighed again, "Oh, this is really boring."

Mo Chenyuan looked up at Su Shengsheng and asked, "What's wrong? Princess, are you tired?"

"Ah."

Mo Chenyuan said kindly: "If you are tired, just go. No one dares to stop you here."

Su Shengsheng glanced at the person sitting on the dragon throne and swallowed his saliva. He is an emperor after all, so how could he not take it seriously?

"You want me to send you?"

"no, I'm fine."

When Su Shengsheng stood up and prepared to leave, there was suddenly a scream at the banquet, followed by the sound of wine glasses breaking. Then Su Shengsheng saw a man in black holding a sword and coming towards Mo Chenyuan.

In fact, Mo Chenyuan was well prepared, but Su Shengsheng still shouted, "Be careful!" and stood in front of Mo Chenyuan.

When the tip of the sword was about to point to Su Shengsheng's heart, at the critical moment, the wine glass in Mo Chenyuan's hand flew out and the sword fell to the ground on the spot.

Before Su Shengsheng could react, she was pulled away by a force. Seeing this, the man in black took out a short knife and stabbed at Mo Chenyuan, "Regent, give me your life!"

Mo Chenyuan pulled Su Shengsheng behind him, then kicked the man in black, who fell to the ground and spit out blood.

"Hmph, over your own strength!"

Mo Chenxuan had not expected that there would be an assassin in the palace. He looked a little panicked. The eunuch next to him shouted, "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor, protect the emperor quickly!"

Assassins came from all directions. Ling Yu and Ling Su were also in the melee. Mo Chenyuan just moved and then sat there lazily and poured himself another glass of wine and started drinking.
