When Su Qingqing was about to get up and wipe herself clean, Mo Jingsu walked in.

"Jingsu, you're back."

"Yeah." Mo Jingsu sat down tiredly.

Su Qingqing poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mo Jingsu, "Jingsu, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Jingsu took the tea and told Su Qingqing what happened in the palace.

Su Qingqing covered her mouth in surprise and said, "How dare the Regent King be so bold as to drive His Majesty directly to Lianyi Palace?"

Mo Jingsu said nothing, just nodded.

Su Qingqing sat aside and thought seriously, "The prince can't always be in charge of the court affairs, Jingsu, we still have a chance."

Mo Jingsu looked at Su Qingqing, "What kind of person is the emperor's uncle? How dare we act rashly in front of him?"

Su Qingqing looked at Mo Jingsu and said softly, "Jingsu, how can you know whether you will succeed or not if you don't try?"

Mo Jingsu stared at Su Qingqing with a deep gaze, and after a long while he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Su Qingqing then laughed, "Okay, Jingsu, go to bed early."

Second day

The news of what happened in Shangqing Palace spread throughout the court. General Zhenguo asked Su Mingpei, who was reading the imperial edict in front, "Is your majesty really seriously ill?"

Su Mingpei lowered his head nervously, "Your Majesty is indeed seriously ill."

"Have you asked the imperial physician to see it?"

"The imperial physician has examined it. Your Majesty still needs to rest."

The general still looked at Su Mingpei in disbelief, "Your Majesty..."

"Why, the general wants to go see my brother in person?"

Mo Chenyuan walked in from outside the palace step by step in court robes. The voices in the court fell silent after hearing Mo Chenyuan's voice. They all knelt down and saluted, "Greetings, Lord Regent."

Mo Chenyuan stood at the highest point with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping fiercely at everyone kneeling down, "My royal brother is ill, you can all go to Lianyi Palace to visit him. The affairs of the court will be managed by the Second Prince Mo Jingxuan for the time being. I will be away from Anyun Country for a few days."

After these words came out, Mo Jingheng, who was standing below, was stunned, and Mo Jingsu was no exception. The most surprised person was Mo Jingxuan himself. When he heard that he was going to take over the court affairs temporarily, he panicked and quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I have been away from the court affairs for a long time, and I am afraid I can't take on the responsibility."

Mo Chenyuan said without letting anyone refuse: "I will not repeat what I said a second time."

When the general heard that the second prince would temporarily take over the affairs of state, he said nothing more.

After Mo Chenyuan announced this matter in the court, he left directly. Outside the palace, Mo Chenyuan rode a black horse, his eyes were sharp, and there was a layer of coldness between his eyebrows.

"Your Highness, the princess has been locked up in the East Palace by Murong Ye." Ling Su saluted.

Mo Chenyuan raised the whip and hit the horse's butt without saying a word, and the horse immediately galloped forward.

Ling Su also followed quickly.

Yunsheng country.

Nangong Li had already arrived in Yunsheng Kingdom three days ago and was currently staying in an inn not far from the Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness, Murong Ye just moved from the East Palace to the Prince's Mansion this morning." E Zhong said respectfully from the side.

Nangong Li calmly put down the teacup and looked at E Zhong, "Only him?"

E Zhong shook his head, "The Regent Princess is following behind."

After saying this, E Zhong glanced at Nangong Li. He really couldn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would risk his own life to come to Yunsheng Kingdom to save the Regent Princess.

Nangong Li asked in a cold voice: "How many days will it take for Mo Chenyuan to come to Yunsheng Country?"

"Your Highness, the spies reported that Mo Chenyuan just set out this morning and it is expected to take another three days to reach Yunsheng Country."

Nangong Li stood up and said, "Let's visit the Prince's Mansion tonight."

After hearing this, E Zhong immediately said anxiously: "Your Highness, Murong Ye's Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded. It is not easy for us to sneak in."

Nangong Li looked at E Zhong.

E Zhong immediately lowered his head and said, "I will prepare it right away."

Prince's Mansion.

Su Shengsheng was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously. She had heard Murong Ye talk about An Yunguo in the morning. She was very anxious now, but she couldn't go out. In a fit of anger, she pushed the things on the table.

The maid pushed the door open and saw the scattered things on the floor. She was used to it and said with a food box in her hand: "Miss Su, it's time to eat."

Su Shengsheng looked at the maid in front of her who was carrying a food box out. An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she directly pressed the maid's acupoint.

The maid's hand froze in mid-air. Su Shengsheng stood up and put the maid's hand down, saying with a guilty look on her face, "I'm sorry."

Then Bianfu helped the maid to the bed, changed into maid's clothes, picked up the food box, opened the door and went out.

Su Shengsheng walked around the Prince's Mansion with the food box in her hand for some time but still hadn't left. She became annoyed and muttered quietly, "Why is the mansion so big? Can one person live in it?"

While complaining and looking for a way out, Su Shengsheng found a secluded corner to sit down and rest. While thinking, he took out the pastries from the lunch box and started eating.

The prince's mansion is so big, and I don't know when I can find the door. Su Shengsheng glanced at the high wall in front of him. Can he get out by climbing over it?

Thinking of this, Su Shengsheng put down the pastry in his hand, clapped his hands, and prepared to find something to crawl out.

Murong Ye's voice rang out, "Do you need help?"

Su Shengsheng was carrying stones and didn't care. When she heard someone ask if she needed help, she shook her head without turning back and said, "No, I can do it myself."

"It's too tiring to move like this, why don't I take you out?"

Su Shengsheng immediately put down the stone, turned around and said happily: "Okay, then..."

The next second, the smile froze on her face. Looking at Murong Ye's half-smile, Su Shengsheng frowned, "Why are you here?"

"Should I ask you this?"

As Murong Ye was speaking, Ning Hai came over, dragging the maid over with him, followed by several guards.

Su Shengsheng looked at Murong Ye angrily, "What do you want to do?"

Murong Ye said lightly: "She did not do her job well and should have been punished, but I thought of asking for your opinion because she has been taking care of you."

Su Shengsheng rolled her eyes. "You want to use her to control me? I, Su Shengsheng, am not a pushover."

Ning Hai kicked the maid's knee, and the maid knelt on the ground crying. Ning Hai put the sword on the maid's neck.

Su Shengsheng clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves tightly. This Murong Ye was really crazy.

Seeing that Su Shengsheng was indifferent, Murong Ye said, "It seems there is no need for me to ask." Then he looked at Ning Hai and said, "Get rid of it."

"Yes." Ning Hai raised his sword and was about to stab down.

Su Shengsheng held back her temper, hissed impatiently, and then shouted, "Stop it."

Ning Hai's sword stopped at the maid's neck, and Murong Ye looked at Su Shengsheng.

Su Shengsheng kicked the stone beside him and said coldly, "Let her go."

Ning Hai put away his sword, and the maid kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you Miss Su, thank you Miss Su."

Su Shengsheng ignored Murong Ye, walked over to help the maid up, and said softly: "Get up, I am sorry for you."
