Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

"You're so talkative." Su Shengsheng pouted, then lay back in Mo Chenyuan's arms and said, "I won't let you be defenseless. After all, I still need you to protect me."

Mo Chenyuan smiled and pinched Su Shengsheng's cheek, and responded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After two days' journey, the carriage finally arrived at Tian'an Kingdom. Nangong Li and Yi Wan personally greeted them at the city gate. The moment Su Shengsheng got off the carriage, Yi Wan couldn't help but feel a sore nose and ran over.

"Princess." Yi Wan fell to his knees with a plop.

Su Shengsheng smiled and helped Yi Wan up, saying, "You're getting married tomorrow, and it won't look good if your eyes are swollen from crying."

Yi Wan choked up and said, "It is I who am sorry for you."

Su Shengsheng knew what Yi Wan was talking about, so she wiped Yi Wan's tears and said, "I don't blame you. I should thank you for stopping him. Otherwise, if something happened to the crown prince of Tian'an, wouldn't I be a sinner?"

Despite this, Yi Wan still felt guilty and looked at Mo Chenyuan apologetically, "But the prince's health..."

"If he wasn't well, do you think we would come to your wedding?"

Yi Wan nodded, looked at Su Shengsheng and said, "Princess..."

"Okay, stop crying. We've been traveling for such a long time and we're all a little tired."

Nangong Li pursed his lips and stepped forward and said, "I have asked someone to clean up the post station and take you there."

Mo Chenyuan took Su Shengsheng's hand and said softly, "Lead the way."

After they arrived at the post station, Su Shengsheng could clearly feel that Mo Chenyuan was a little exhausted, so she said to Yi Wan and Nangong Li, "Let's rest for a while. We won't attend the banquet tonight. We will go to the wedding tomorrow."

Nangong Li saw that Mo Chenyuan's face was a little pale and seemed a little weak, so he nodded and said, "If you need anything, just call the shopkeeper below."

"kindness."

After Nangong Li and Yi Wan left, Mo Chenyuan finally couldn't hold on any longer and had to support himself with his hands on the table. His body went limp, and Su Shengsheng hurried over to support him.

"How is it? Can you still hold on?" Su Shengsheng asked worriedly.

Mo Chenyuan broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and shook his head. Su Shengsheng immediately took out a pill from her arms and fed it to Mo Chenyuan, and then began to take his pulse.

"The pulse is weak again." Su Shengsheng frowned, "It seems we have to find the Seven-Colored Lotus as soon as possible."

After Su Shengsheng helped Mo Chenyuan lie back on the bed, she walked out. People from Shura Hall were already waiting outside.

"Princess, our people have heard about the possibility of a seven-colored lotus in Nanyang Town."

Su Shengsheng nodded, then turned and looked into the house. Logically, Mo Chenyuan's body should be able to last for a year, but for some reason, his body became weak again. There were only three months left, and time was running out. She had to find the Seven-Colored Lotus quickly.

Then he looked at Shura Hall's men and said, "Go prepare some carriages. We will set off for Nanyang Town tomorrow."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Su Shengsheng closed the door and went to find Nangong Li. The Prince's Mansion was decorated with lights and red lanterns spread from outside the mansion to inside the mansion. The whole way was decorated with red silk, which was very festive.

Su Shengsheng was standing outside the Prince's Mansion. When Nangong Li heard Su Shengsheng coming to find him, he quickly ran out of the mansion. Seeing Su Shengsheng standing there alone, he strode forward and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing, I just came to tell you that Chen Yuan and I may not be able to attend your wedding with Yi Wan tomorrow, so I came here to give you a gift in advance."

Nangong Li suddenly thought of Mo Chenyuan's pale handsome face, and without asking anything, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Su Shengsheng took out two golden boxes, which were wrapped in red paper and had the word "happiness" written on them.

"This is the wedding gift I prepared for you two. There is a pair inside, which means you will grow old together and have many children."

Nangong Li was distracted for a moment, then slowly reached out to take the box, with helplessness in his eyes. Su Shengsheng could see that Nangong Li didn't like Yi Wan, but Yi Wan liked him very much.

Then he said, "I know you don't like Yi Wan, but since you chose to marry Yi Wan as your concubine, you should give her the respect she deserves. If Yi Wan is bullied in your Tian'an country, I, your family, will be the first one to not forgive you."

Nangong Li was silent for a moment. He really wanted to tell Su Shengsheng that besides Mo Chenyuan, there was another person in this world who loved her very much, but it was really inappropriate to say it now. Whether Shengsheng knew it or not, it didn’t matter anymore.

Nangong Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, although Yi Wan is a concubine, I will give her everything that a concubine should have. She will also be in charge of the household affairs of the mansion. There will not be another mistress in this mansion except her."

Su Shengsheng laughed in disbelief and said, "Don't be so sure about some things. Don't forget that you are the crown prince and will ascend to the throne of the emperor in the future. By then, do you think your harem will only intentionally delay one person?"

Nangong Li was stunned, holding the box tightly in his hand, "No matter what, I won't let her suffer any injustice."

"That's a useful thing to say." Su Shengsheng stretched and said, "Okay, I've delivered the gift. We will leave Tian'an Kingdom early tomorrow morning. Tell Yi Wan not to feel alone here. She has the entire Regent Palace behind her."

"kindness."

After Su Shengsheng left, Yi Wan, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly burst into tears. Nangong Li knew that Yi Wan had been listening behind him, so he slowly walked over and whispered, "Did you hear everything?"

Yi Wan choked up and nodded, "Yeah."

Nangong Li didn't say anything, but handed the box in his hand to Yi Wan. Yi Wan took it and opened it, and instantly tears started flowing down her face uncontrollably.

Inside was a pair of dragon and phoenix. She had seen this pattern on the princess's desk before, but she didn't expect the princess to print out this pair. Looking at the golden glow on it, Yi Wan hugged Nangong Li.

"I am sorry, Princess. I am sorry, Princess." She remembered that when she saw the Princess making this dragon and phoenix pair, she teased herself and said, "If you have a loved one in the future, I will give you this dragon and phoenix. The man will be paired with the dragon and the woman will be paired with the phoenix, and they will live together forever."

Yi Wan was shocked when she heard it at that time. She was just a commoner, how could she be compared with dragons and phoenixes? Now her words have come true. Coupled with the words that the princess just warned Nangong Li, protecting her everywhere, Yi Wan finally burst into tears.

Nangong Li patted Yi Wan's back gently to comfort her.

------

Early in the morning.

Su Shengsheng took Mo Chenyuan on the carriage and left Tian'an Kingdom. Nangong Li watched them go away at the city gate before returning to the Prince's Mansion.

The carriage traveled on the road for five days before entering Nanyang Town. Mo Chenyuan did not encounter any accidents along the way, but he felt weaker and felt too tired after walking a few more steps.
