Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Chapter 178 Gu Zhixiao asks Su Shengsheng for help.

Mo Chenyuan watched coldly as Murong Ye was taken away by Ning Hai, and did not chase after him. A whistle was blown outside, and the men in black outside immediately retreated.

When Su Xingchen rushed back from outside, he heard a whistle. He was very familiar with this whistle. He frowned and chased in the direction of the whistle.

Mo Chenyuan came out from the front hall, and Su Shengsheng immediately ran to him, "It should be Murong Ye's people."

Mo Chenyuan said, "It's not him."

Su Shengsheng frowned, "Not him?"

"Yeah." Mo Chenyuan looked at Su Shengsheng and asked with some concern, "Are you injured?"

Su Shengsheng shook her head, "I'm fine." Then she continued to ask, "If the prince said it's not Murong Ye's man, then who could it be?"

Mo Chenyuan frowned, "I can't really tell."

Su Shengsheng's face was full of questions. Is there something the prince doesn't know?

Ling Su and Ling Yu rushed back from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, they are indeed not from the same group. The men in black will only leave when they hear the whistle."

Mo Chenyuan said coldly: "Continue to investigate."

"Yes."

Su Shengsheng looked at Mo Chenyuan, "It seems that someone doesn't want us to return to the capital."

Mo Chenyuan took Su Shengsheng's hand and said, "Let's go."

"Yeah." Su Shengsheng nodded.

After Murong Ye was taken back by Ning Hai, he looked at Ning Hai angrily and asked, "Go check for me, who wants to hurt Su Sheng Sheng?"

Ning Hai nodded and looked at Murong Ye's angry expression. His Highness was not angry that he was almost killed by Mo Chenyuan, but was still concerned about who wanted to hurt Su Shengsheng. It seemed that His Highness was really trapped.

"Why don't you go quickly?"

Ning Hai came back to his senses and said, "Yes, I'll go right away." Then he immediately stood up and walked out.

Murong Ye took off his cloak and touched his still aching neck. He didn't expect that Mo Chenyuan's martial arts skills were not to be underestimated.

Su Xingchen followed the direction of the whistle and saw E Zhong.

Then he called out, "E Zhong."

E Zhong turned around when he heard the voice and saw that it was Su Xingchen. Surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he knelt down and saluted, "Your Highness, your subordinate is here to see you."

"Why are you here?" Su Xingchen glanced around before looking at E Zhong.

E Zhong replied with a guilty conscience: "I knew Your Highness was in Ancheng, so I followed him all the way."

"Did you blow the whistle just now?"

E Zhong looked at Su Xingchen and nodded, "Yes."

Su Xingchen frowned, "Are those men in black your people?"

"Yes."

After hearing this, Su Xingchen drew out his sword angrily and pointed it at E Zhong, "Tell me, who told you to do this?"

E Zhong did not dare to hide anything, so he told everything, "The emperor knew that Your Highness was in Anyun Kingdom, and refused to go back, willing to serve as a guard beside the Regent Princess. He was very angry."

"Then...then let me kill the Regent Princess and take His Highness back."

"What does it have to do with Murong Ye?"

E Zhong shook his head quickly, "This matter has nothing to do with His Highness Murong. I saw His Highness Murong go to see the Regent, so I had someone secretly follow and observe, looking for an opportunity to take action against the Regent's wife."

Although Su Xingchen had no previous memories, he could see that E Zhong was truly loyal, so he retracted his sword and said coldly, “If you hurt her, I guarantee you’ll die miserably.”

E Zhong swallowed nervously and quickly replied, "Yes."

"roll."

E Zhong nodded, but before leaving, he still carefully reminded: "Your Highness, the eldest prince has also come to Ancheng, you must be more careful."

After saying this, E Zhong left quickly.

Su Xingchen stood there thinking about what E Zhong had just said. The eldest prince came to Ancheng. The eldest prince of Tianan Kingdom is Nangong Yuan?

Su Xingchen suddenly felt a headache, and the scene in the dungeon appeared in his mind again.

It seemed that whenever he thought about his past, he would get a headache and couldn't remember anything.

Su Xingchen adjusted his emotions and forced himself not to think about it anymore.

Then he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, it seemed that he had to stay by Shengsheng's side all the time.

After Ning Hai found out about the men in black, he hurried back and said to Murong Ye, who was still sulking there, "Your Highness, I found out that those men in black are from Tian'an Country."

"Tian'an Nation?" Murong Ye raised his head slightly, leaning back lazily, "Why are they here to join in the fun?"

"I just found out that the eldest prince of Tian'an Kingdom has also come to Ancheng."

"It turned out to be Nangong Yuan."

Ning Hai looked at Murong Ye, "Your Highness, he came to Ancheng quietly, I think he has some purpose."

"Do you want me to say that?" Murong Ye rolled his eyes at Ning Hai.

Ning Hai closed his mouth in embarrassment.

Murong Ye asked, "When will Princess Zhaohua arrive in Ancheng?"

"I've sent someone to pass on the message. Princess Zhaohua is on her way back."

"Yes." Murong Ye nodded. Princess Zhaohua's return would play a crucial role. As long as Su Shengsheng was disappointed with Mo Chenyuan, he would take advantage of the opportunity and take Su Shengsheng away.

The next few days in Ancheng were much more lively, with several forces mixed together. Luo Yi secretly sent people to follow Su Shengsheng, thinking that as long as Su Shengsheng was caught, based on Mo Chenyuan's temperament, he would not ignore it.

However, although the idea was good, it could not be implemented. The people Luo Yi sent out several times came back seriously injured, which was very troublesome.

After that, Murong Ye stayed in his own house and took control of the overall situation.

Su Shengsheng and Mo Chenyuan have been secretly continuing to investigate clues about Moon-Watching Cliff a year ago.

Mo Jingxuan sent people to deliver letters several times, wanting to investigate together with Mo Chenyuan, but was ruthlessly rejected every time.

That day, Mo Chenyuan went out of the house for something. When Su Shengsheng was about to take a rest, Yi Wan walked in.

He said respectfully: "Princess, the Third Imperial Concubine is here."

"Zhixiao?" Su Shengsheng frowned, "Let him in quickly."

"Yes."

When Gu Zhixiao came in, he knelt in front of Su Shengsheng before he could even take off his cloak.

Su Shengsheng quickly stood up to help him, "What are you doing?"

Gu Zhixiao's eyes were red, and his face was also red. Su Shengsheng put her hand on Gu Zhixiao's hand and felt a chill, so she asked worriedly, "Why are your hands so cold? Yiwan, go get a hot water bottle."

"Yes." Yi Wan didn't dare to delay and hurried to fill the hot water bottle.

Gu Zhixiao said anxiously: "Princess, please save the Third Prince."

When Su Shengsheng heard that Gu Zhixiao was here for Mo Jingheng, she let go of Gu Zhixiao's hand and said, "You came to Ancheng without caring about your image just for him."

Gu Zhixiao nodded, "Yes." Then he looked at Su Shengsheng, "Zhixiao only came to ask you for help as a last resort."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The Third Prince was sent to suppress bandits and was seriously injured. There has been no news since then. Zhixiao was very worried, so he went to the palace to ask His Majesty to let the Third Prince come back. However, Eunuch Su beside His Majesty said that the person who sent the Third Prince to suppress bandits was the Regent."

"Without the permission of the Regent, the Third Prince cannot be allowed to return."

Gu Zhixiao started to cry as she spoke, "Princess, can you please ask the regent to let the third prince come back? Zhixiao is really worried about him."
