Su Shengsheng was supported by Qiu'er and said fearfully, "Princess, let's go out first."

"You are stupid. It is safest to stay with the prince."

Su Qingqing was stopped by the assassin in the chaos and said fearfully, "Are you going to kill the Regent?"

"I know who the Regent's weak spot is?"

The assassin was masked, and when he heard Su Qingqing talking about the regent's weakness, he asked, "Who is it?"

Su Qingqing immediately pointed at the person standing next to Mo Chenyuan and said anxiously: "She, it's her, she is the regent princess, the prince likes her very much."

The assassin turned his head and saw a veiled woman standing next to the Regent, so he walked towards her with his sword in hand.

Su Qingqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Su Shengsheng, don't blame me!"

Su Shengsheng walked to Mo Chenyuan's side and asked calmly, "The assassin is right in front of you, Your Majesty, can you still remain calm?"

Mo Chenyuan looked at Su Shengsheng with his narrow eyes, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Before Su Shengsheng could react, Mo Chenyuan pulled her over, and then she let out a cry of "Ah".

Su Shengsheng heard the sound and looked over, and saw the assassin behind her had already fallen to the ground.

Su Shengsheng frowned. Is this assassin coming towards him?

Soon the imperial guards rushed in, and more than a dozen assassins were surrounded in an instant. The leading assassin, seeing that he could not escape, shouted, "Regent, there will be endless people coming to take your life."

Then he bit the poison in his mouth and died suddenly.

Seeing this, the rest of the people followed suit.

"They want to commit suicide!" Su Shengsheng shouted.

Seeing this, Ling Yu immediately stopped the nearby assassin to prevent him from committing suicide, but he was still a step too late and the assassin committed suicide.

The assassin next to Lin Wanying suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, they are all dead men, don't even think about getting anything from them."

Then he was about to bite the poison in his mouth. Seeing this, Su Shengsheng immediately rushed over, pinched the man's chin, and then pressed an acupoint to make the assassin spit out the poison in his mouth.

Su Shengsheng immediately knocked the assassin unconscious, "Guard Ling, take him away."

The set of movements was so smooth and flowing that many people present were shocked and commented on how calm the Regent Princess was.

Mo Chenyuan also didn't expect Su Shengsheng to act so quickly and guess that the assassin was hiding poison in such a short time.

Mo Jingheng recognized the veiled person as Su Shengsheng, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Why had he never heard of Su Shengsheng being so courageous before?

Mo Chenxuan slapped the table angrily, "Who arranged the patrol tonight?"

"Your Majesty, it's General Luo."

"Where is Luo Yi?"

A middle-aged man in armor rushed in from outside the palace in a hurry, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have failed in my duty."

"Luo Yi, is this how you arrange guard patrols? We have such a huge palace, with so many people guarding it, yet you still let assassins sneak in."

"It was my negligence."

Mo Chenxuan stood up, walked towards Mo Chenyuan, and asked worriedly: "Chenyuan, are you hurt?"

Mo Chenyuan stood up and said, "No problem."

"That's good. I'll have someone conduct a thorough investigation to find out who did it."

Mo Chenyuan said nonchalantly: "There are many people who want to kill me, and I don't care about just one or two people."

The banquet ended with an assassination, and Mo Chenxuan lost interest and ended the banquet early.

When Su Shengsheng followed Mo Chenyuan out, she was stopped by Mo Jingheng, an uninvited guest.

"Jing Heng pays respect to the Emperor's uncle."

"Yeah." Mo Chenyuan said coldly: "What's the matter?"

Mo Jingheng glanced at Su Shengsheng, "My nephew wants to talk to my aunt."

Su Shengsheng looked at Qiu'er, and Qiu'er nodded. Mo Chenyuan got on the carriage without saying a word, meaning that if he had anything to say, he should say it quickly.

Su Shengsheng asked, "What's the matter?"

Mo Jingheng glanced at Qiu'er, who immediately responded, "Stay away."

"No need, Third Prince, just tell me what you want to say. The prince is waiting for me to return."

Mo Jingheng looked into Su Shengsheng's eyes, and despite the veil, he said, "You are different now."

"What are you talking about, Third Prince? Of course, I am different. After all, I am no longer the young lady who was bullied by others in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Mo Jingheng said guiltily: "Shengsheng, you know I have never disliked you."

"Of course the Third Prince has never disliked me, because you have never looked at me straight in the eye."

"I.....are you still blaming me for being with Qingqing?"

"Please be careful with your words, Third Prince. Who you are with is none of my business."

"It was not my intention to let you marry the emperor's uncle, and I didn't know Qingqing would let you go in her place."

Su Shengsheng was shocked. "What do you mean, was it your idea to let me marry in place of you?"

Mo Jingheng said guiltily: "Shengsheng, I have tried my best to find a way to cure the poison in you. You are doing this to my fault."

"You also know about the Gu in my body?"

"I......"

Only then did Su Shengsheng understand why the original owner's soul could not leave. There were too many mysteries involved. She did not expect that the third prince would also be involved and did not hide it from Su Shengsheng.

Is he relying on the fact that Su Shengsheng likes him? Or is he relying on the fact that Su Shengsheng is stupid?

Su Shengsheng said coldly, "That's enough, Third Prince. I don't care how much I liked you before. Now I tell you very clearly that I will repay you for all the pain you and Su Qingqing have inflicted on me."

Mo Jingheng looked at the disgust in Su Shengsheng's eyes and reached out to grab Su Shengsheng, "Shengsheng, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say that you would always love me and would be willing to do anything for me?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Su Shengsheng shook off Mo Jingheng's hand. "I'm the Regent Princess now. Your Imperial Aunt, if you dare to slander me again, I'll let the Regent punish you."

"Qiu'er, let's go."

Qiu'er was so happy that she couldn't help it. In the past, the princess always humbled herself to the dust when she met the third prince, but now she could finally hold her head high. When Qiu'er passed by the third prince, she straightened her back.

That smug expression, as if he had done something great.

As soon as Su Shengsheng got on the carriage, it started moving. Before her butt even touched the seat, she was forced to stagger forward a few steps and almost bumped into Mo Chenyuan who was lying in front of her.

Su Shengsheng braked suddenly and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't get hit.

"Have you met your lover?" Mo Chenyuan asked slowly.

Su Shengsheng sat down and straightened her dress, then said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, Your Majesty? I am now the Regent Princess and the aunt of the Third Prince. How can I meet my lover?"

"Hmph, don't you forget who I am? It's very easy to check a person's past."

Su Shengsheng was speechless. "Yes, Your Majesty can find out whatever he wants to find out. But, how come Your Majesty can't find out who the assassin is tonight?"

Mo Chenyuan sat up slowly and brushed his sleeves lazily, "How do you know that I don't know who arranged the assassin tonight?"

"So what does the prince mean, you know?"

Mo Chenyuan poured himself a cup of tea, and his every move was full of nobility.

"Mind your own business. Your mission is only to help this king detoxify."

Su Shengsheng's gossiping heart was extinguished by Mo Chenyuan's cold water. She poured herself a cup of tea, drank a sip and continued: "No matter what, I, Su Shengsheng, will repay a favor. You saved me today, and I will help you if you have any problems in the future."

Mo Chenyuan didn't say anything, and Su Shengsheng wisely shut up.

After a long while, Mo Chenyuan's deep voice rang out, "Why did you stand in front of me just now?"

"What?" Su Shengsheng thought for a moment, "Your Highness, are you talking about the banquet just now?"

"Ah."

Su Shengsheng said casually: "It's an instinctive reaction. I won't watch my patients get hurt in front of me."

The carriage soon arrived at the Regent's Palace, and Mo Chenyuan said, "Get off!"

Su Shengsheng was really impressed by Mo Chenyuan's jumping thinking. He could be talking about something else in the next sentence while talking about the banquet.
