Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Wan Zhan looked at Gu Niman who closed her eyes. He walked forward carefully and tested under Gu Niman's nose. After confirming that she was not breathing, he quickly got up and went outside to call for help.

Concubine Wen had already sent Bilu to guard there. If Wan Zhan hesitated and did not take action, she would let Bilu deal with the two of them.

When Bilu saw Wan Zhan running out of the cold palace shouting, she knew that the matter had been resolved. When other people heard the news and rushed to the cold palace, Bilu ran back to tell Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen brought Mo Chenxuan to the cold palace and saw Gu Niman lying on the bed with black lips and pale face.

Mo Chenxuan frowned, feeling a little pain in his heart, and looked at the guard beside him, "Who is it?"

Wan Zhan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, when I came here, I saw someone sneaking out of the cold palace, so I chased after him. When I came back, I saw the queen..."

Mo Chenxuan asked with sharp eyes: "Where is the person?"

Wan Zhan waved his hand, and immediately two guards brought someone in, "Your Majesty, it's him."

Mo Chenxuan looked over and saw the eunuch kneeling on the ground trembling and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I was forced to do this."

"Who?"

"Yes... yes..." The eunuch stammered and dared not speak.

Mo Chenxuan looked at the eunuch for a long time and couldn't say anything, so he said angrily: "Drag him away."

The eunuch immediately said, "It was the Regent Princess, Your Majesty, it was the Regent Princess who asked me to poison the Queen."

Concubine Wen covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Mo Chenxuan, "Your Majesty, didn't the Regent Princess say that she couldn't persuade my sister? Why is she..."

Mo Chenxuan clenched his fists silently, glanced at Gu Niman, and walked out without saying anything.

Concubine Wen called out softly, "Your Majesty..."

Mo Chenxuan ignored him, and Su Mingpei bent down and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has handed this matter over to you to handle."

Concubine Wen said in embarrassment: "But this..."

Su Mingpei bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the power of the six palaces is still in your hands for now. You should handle these matters. You don't have to feel that there is anything wrong with it."

Concubine Wen nodded gently, "In that case, thank you very much for your guidance, Eunuch Su."

"I am only speaking the truth. Your Majesty needs to wait a moment. I will withdraw now."

"The emperor's health is very important. Please, Eunuch Su, inform me immediately if there is anything that the emperor needs."

"Of course." Su Mingpei said and hurried out of the cold palace.

Concubine Wen looked at Gu Niman, who was covered with a white cloth, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She mocked in her heart: "Gu Niman, we have been fighting since we entered the palace. So what if you are the queen? In the end, you still lost."

Wan Zhan raised his head slightly and glanced at Concubine Wen. It seemed that he had made the right choice.

In the bedroom, Mo Chenxuan walked in quickly and stood in front of the table with his hands behind his back, exuding a gloomy aura.

Su Mingpei came in with a cup of tea, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Mo Chenxuan took the teacup and threw it heavily to the ground with a bang.

Su Mingpei was so scared that he knelt on the ground.

Mo Chenxuan's voice sounded coldly, "Do you also think that I am incompetent?"

"I dare not." Su Mingpei answered fearfully with his head down.

"Humph." Mo Chenxuan suddenly sneered, "Mo Chenyuan must not be allowed to stay."

Then he looked at Su Mingpei and said, "Call him over."

Su Mingpei nodded immediately, "Yes."

Mo Chenxuan sat down with his hand on his forehead, looking at the memorials on the table. He gently stroked them with his hand, and his eyes instantly became fierce.

"Mo Chenyuan, I will let you stay in Ancheng forever."

Su Mingpei came back soon, "Your Majesty, he is here."

"Come in."

Su Mingpei nodded to the person behind him, and then stepped aside.

Mo Chenxuan raised his eyes to look at the person who came in, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How is the progress?"

"Your Majesty, all the people in the Imperial City have been replaced by our people. There is only one step left outside the Imperial Palace. The Regent has a group of secret guards and another lurking in the dark. Your subordinates are doing their best to find them."

Mo Chenxuan leaned back in his chair, "We must find this hidden guard. If we can use them for our own purposes, that would be great. If they refuse to obey, I will kill them all."

"Yes."

Mo Chenxuan waved his hand with a headache, "Go down."

"Yes." The visitor bowed and walked out.

Outside the bedroom, Su Mingpei looked at the weather outside which had been fine just a moment ago and suddenly turned cloudy.

After sighing, someone came out. Su Mingpei immediately saluted and said, "General Guo."

Guo Lin looked at the weather outside and said, "It looks like the weather is going to change."

Su Mingpei didn't say anything. Guo Lin glanced at Su Mingpei and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Su."

"General Guo is the one who has to work hard, running around everywhere. You are the emperor's trump card, so you must not let anything happen to you."

Guo Lin nodded, "Thank you for your concern." Then he went down the stairs and left the bedroom.

Su Mingpei looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds. The already cold weather felt even colder in an instant. The wind blew the grass and trees outside the palace. Su Mingpei prayed in his heart, hoping that what His Majesty wanted to do could be fulfilled.

Ancheng.

Su Shengsheng was having lunch. Mo Chenyuan picked up a piece of fish for Su Shengsheng. The two were eating peacefully.

Ling Su's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty, news from the capital."

Su Shengsheng glanced at Mo Chenyuan, who put down his chopsticks and said, "Come in."

Ling Su walked in and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, news just came from the capital that the Queen was murdered in the cold palace this morning."

"Dead?" Su Shengsheng put down her chopsticks in surprise. Based on Gu Niman's strength, she wouldn't die so easily?

Ling Su nodded, "He was poisoned to death."

Mo Chenyuan waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Ling Su looked at Mo Chenyuan with a worried look, "Your Majesty, I have something else to ask..."

"explain."

"Recently, several of our people in Beijing have disappeared every now and then. I have checked, but found nothing."

Mo Chenyuan's expression froze, "Tell them to stay hidden these days and not to stand out."

"Yes."

Ling Su nodded and walked out.

Su Shengsheng frowned and looked at Mo Chenyuan, "Who in the palace did it?"

Mo Chenyuan didn't say anything. He served Su Shengsheng a bowl of soup and said gently, "Drink some soup."

Su Shengsheng took the bowl and started drinking from it in small sips, but her mind was racing. It seemed that the capital city had been in unrest these days. No wonder Mo Chenyuan was in no hurry to go back.

After the two finished their meal, Mo Chenyuan went out, and Su Shengsheng called Yi Wan over.

Yi Wan saluted Su Shengsheng with a pale face and said in a depressed look: "What's the matter, Princess?"

Su Shengsheng looked at Yi Wan who was listless and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Yi Wan shook her head, "Princess, maybe I didn't get enough rest."

Seeing that Yi Wan was not in high spirits, Su Shengsheng asked Yi Wan to go back and have a good rest. She then wrote a letter to Qiu'er, asking Qiu'er to find out what had happened in Beijing recently.
