Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Chapter 58: A headless corpse appears at the banquet.

Su Shengsheng looked at Qiu'er beside her with boredom. Qiu'er bent down and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with the princess?"

"Why don't you see Su Qingqing?"

Qiu Er looked up and saw that Su Qingqing was indeed nowhere to be seen, so she replied, "It must be that the Second Miss's leg injury has not healed yet."

Su Shengsheng nodded and looked at the elegant woman sitting next to Mo Jingheng. Shengsheng immediately thought of Gu Zhixiao who danced at the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Without heavy makeup, Gu Zhixiao is as pure and elegant as a lotus flower that emerges from the mud without being stained.

Perhaps he was still ill, Gu Zhixiao's face was still pale.

Shengsheng watched Gu Zhixiao gently hand the wine glass to Mo Jingheng beside him, and Mo Jingheng took it with a smile. If you didn't know, you would think that the two were already married.

"Humph." Shengsheng sneered, "He is indeed a scumbag. Su Shengsheng was really blind before."

"Okay, take a seat first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Yueying sat back, envoys from various countries began to present treasures one after another.

Su Shengsheng suddenly smiled and said, "It's time."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a scream in the hall, "Ah, there is a dead person."

The one who screamed was Mo Chenxuan's concubine, Lady Liu. She was sitting in a corner and no one paid attention to her. Her shout attracted everyone's attention.

Mo Chenxuan said coldly: "How dare you! Who is making noise?"

Concubine Liu stumbled forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a dead person over there!"

Mo Chenxuan frowned. There were many envoys in the hall, which made him feel humiliated. He said angrily: "Why don't you drag her away?"

The guards immediately dragged Concubine Liu away.

Many eyes were already looking towards the place where Lady Liu was pointing.

One official bravely looked forward, and instantly fell to the ground, as if he had lost his soul.

Gu Niman felt something was wrong, so she looked at Mo Chenxuan, "Your Majesty..."

Mo Chenxuan had already stood up and walked over there, and Gu Niman quickly stood up and followed.

That corner instantly became the focus of the whole place. Mo Chenxuan strode over. He wanted to see who the dead person was that scared them so much.

As soon as he walked forward, he closed his eyes, unable to bear to look. There were three headless corpses in the corner.

Yi Wan squeezed out of the crowd at some point, walked up to Su Shengsheng and nodded.

Mo Chenxuan's angry voice sounded, "Find out for me who is trying to disrupt today's state banquet."

"Yes." The guards at the side immediately carried the three bodies out.

Su Shengsheng curled up the corners of her mouth into a smile, not caring at all.

Just as Mo Chenxuan sat on the dragon throne, a palace maid in the other corner screamed again, "Ah!"

Everyone looked over there again, this time without his hands, Mo Chenxuan angrily threw the wine glass in front of the table to the ground.

Who has ulterior motives to choose this time to cause trouble?

Gu Niman felt a little panicked, afraid that Iris's body would appear in the hall, so she glanced towards Su Shengsheng.

Shengsheng was drinking leisurely, and she didn't care at all about what happened in the palace.

A state banquet was turned into this, so Mo Chenxuan had to quickly disperse the banquet. If it continued like this, he didn't know what the envoys from various countries would think, which would be very disadvantageous to Anyun Kingdom.

After the envoys from various countries left, only officials and concubines were left in the hall. Mo Chenxuan said coldly: "If today's matter is not investigated clearly, no one is allowed to leave."

Luo Yi walked in wearing black armor and holding a sword in his hand, "Your Majesty, the palace gate has been sealed."

Mo Chenxuan sat high on the dragon throne, his expression solemn, and said in a cold voice: "Yes."

Su Zhong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are several more corpses in the palace for no reason. This is really an ominous sign. I'm afraid someone has ulterior motives and wants to disrupt today's state banquet."

Gu Niman patted her chest and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su is right..."

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just sitting here and seeing who can harm me."

Concubine Wen also said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you can't just sit there like this. General Luo will find out. Your Majesty should pay attention to your health and go to the side hall to rest first."

Mo Chenxuan looked at the people standing below, each with their own ulterior motives. Only Su Shengsheng was sitting leisurely.

Then he frowned and asked, "Princess Regent!"

"Yes." Su Shengsheng lowered her eyes and looked over.

"How come you're so calm?"

Su Shengsheng said disapprovingly: "Why should I panic? Those who should be panicking know what's going on."

When these words were spoken, the Queen and Concubine Wen were really shocked.

Concubine Wen was the first to speak: "The Regent Princess is so calm, could it be that you were the one who placed those bodies there?"

"It was this princess who put it there."

"What?" Everyone present was surprised and looked at Su Shengsheng with strange eyes.

Concubine Wen did not expect Su Shengsheng to admit that she was the one who placed those bodies there, and the Queen became even more panicked.

This makes it even more certain that Iris has failed, and one of the corpses in the hall might be Iris.

Su Shengsheng stood up, and Mo Chenxuan asked coldly: "Why do you want to disrupt the state banquet?"

"No reason, I just can't stand you hypocritical people."

Gu Niman said angrily: "How dare you! As the regent princess, you should put Anyun Kingdom first, but you did this at the state banquet. What is your intention?"

"Humph, what's your intention?" Su Shengsheng looked over coldly, "The queen has repeatedly harmed my prince, what's your intention?"

"You... When did I harm the Regent?"

When Concubine Wen heard Su Shengsheng questioning the Queen, she felt relieved, as it seemed that the question was directed at the Queen.

Mo Chenxuan asked in confusion: "What happened to the Regent?"

"It seems that the emperor doesn't know yet."

Shengsheng walked in the center of the hall, "The corpses in the hall today are all gifts from this princess to the queen."

Mo Chenxuan looked at the queen, "Are those your people?"

Gu Niman shook her head, "No, Your Majesty, I don't know those people."

Su Shengsheng knew that the queen would not admit it, so she called Ling Yu.

Ling Yu brought Iris in. When Gu Niman saw her, she was even more shocked, fearing that Iris would expose her.

Iris looked at the Queen without any emotion.

Mo Chenxuan asked with a serious expression: "Who is that?"

Shengsheng crossed her arms and said, "Iris, please introduce yourself."

"Yes." Iris nodded with lifeless eyes.

Then he bowed and said, "I am from the Queen's palace."

Gu Niman stood up suddenly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Has anyone like you ever existed in my palace?"

Iris's expression was calm as she continued, "I am secretly protecting the Queen, doing things for her that she cannot do, and helping her deal with anyone who stands in her way."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed slightly. Mo Jingheng stepped forward and said, "You slut, you framed my mother like this."

Then he pointed at Su Shengsheng and asked, "Did she teach you to say that?"
