Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Luo Yi was shocked. Who would poison him? He quickly bowed to Su Shengsheng and said, "Princess, is there any antidote for the poison in your body?"

Su Shengsheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It's actually not that difficult to detoxify."

"Then I would like to thank the princess first."

Su Shengsheng immediately shook her hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, Princess. I need another medicine to cure the poison in your body."

Luo Yi frowned, "What medicine?"

"Blood is thicker than water. If General Luo has a relative, he can take a drop of that person's blood and drip it into the medicine every day. The poison will be removed in three days."

Luo Yi was in a dilemma. Where did his relatives come from?

Su Shengsheng saw what Luo Yi was thinking, and asked: "Isn't Concubine Wen the sister of General Luo? She can do it."

Luo Yi said, "Princess, you don't know that Concubine Wen was only fostered in my Luo Mansion when she was a child. She has no blood relationship with me."

"Oh?" Su Shengsheng raised her eyebrows. After getting the answer she wanted, she smiled and said, "Then I will have to find another solution."

Luo Yi quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Su Shengsheng pretended to rack her brains, then snapped her fingers and said, "Got it."

Luo Yi's eyes lit up as he looked forward to Su Shengsheng's next words.

"I will go back and prepare the medicine and have someone send it to you. You need to warm up your body before drinking the medicine every day, otherwise the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced."

Luo Yi nodded seriously, "Then how can we warm up our bodies? Take a bath?"

Su Shengsheng shook her head, "No." Then she thought for a moment and said, "Just run around the city three times."

Luo Yi was shocked when he heard this. He ran around the city three times. The capital is so big that running one circle is enough. Why run three circles?

Mo Chenyuan's lips curled up after hearing this. Her princess was trying to fool him again.

Su Shengsheng looked at Luo Yi's puzzled expression and said, "You have been poisoned for a long time. If you don't treat it, you will be paralyzed in bed in three days, and then slowly lose consciousness until you die."

Shengsheng comforted Luo Yi: "But this way of dying is quite gentle. General Luo can suffer less."

When Luo Yi heard this, he realized that was not okay, and immediately bowed and said, "Three circles are really a bit too much, I wonder if one circle..."

Su Shengsheng waved her sleeves angrily and said, "It seems that General Luo doesn't believe me, princess. Well, I'm too lazy to make medicine."

Sheng Sheng looked at Mo Chen Yuan, "My Lord, let's go."

Mo Chenyuan stood up, looked at Luo Yi and said, "It is a great honor for the princess to treat you. Do you have any reason to refuse?"

Luo Yi looked at the murderous expression on Mo Chenyuan's face and immediately knelt down, "I will do as the princess wishes."

Su Shengsheng secretly gave Mo Chenyuan a thumbs up, and then coughed twice and said: "Ahem, General Luo, don't force yourself. I won't make it difficult for you."

Although Luo Yi felt that running around the city three times was strange, he did not want to offend the Regent at this moment, so he said respectfully: "I will not force you, but I will trouble you, Princess."

"It's not a big deal. It's just a piece of cake for me. General Luo, we'll leave first."

Luo Yi nodded, "I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

"Oh, by the way." Su Shengsheng took Mo Chenyuan's arm and looked at Luo Yi and said, "I'll have someone deliver it tomorrow. General Luo, remember to run laps first."

Luo Yi was embarrassed and nodded, "Yes."

After Su Shengsheng and Mo Chenyuan left Luo Mansion, Doctor Jiang came in from outside.

Luo Yi sat back in his chair, "Doctor Jiang, do you think there is something wrong?"

Doctor Jiang frowned and thought. He had indeed never heard of this method, but the princess's medical skills were impeccable, so there was a reason for doing this.

He then bowed and said, "Although I have never heard of your method, warming up the body does help the medicine to work."

Luo Yi's frown finally relaxed, "Go back and tell Concubine Wen not to worry."

"Yes."

The Third Prince's Mansion.

Gu Zhixiao waited in the yard for a whole day but Mo Jingheng never showed up.

It was already time for dinner, so she asked Yinhuan to invite the third prince, but Yinhuan did not come back for a long time.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, I didn't have any appetite at all.

Yinhuan hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in, "The Third Imperial Concubine."

Gu Zhixiao looked back, his eyes darkening, "Didn't the Third Prince come?"

Yinhuan immediately bowed and said, "The Third Prince went to Concubine Su's courtyard and said he would not come tonight."

Gu Zhixiao's hands on her legs tightly grasped her skirt. Mo Jingheng did not come on the wedding night, and now she just wanted to invite him to have dinner together. Wasn't he willing to come?

After a long while, he slowly said: "Retreat!"

Yinhuan looked at the untouched delicacies and said with concern: "Third Princess, please eat something. It would be more troublesome if you starve yourself to death."

"I have no appetite." Gu Zhixiao rubbed his forehead with his white fingers.

Yinhuan looked at her daughter's sad face and remembered that she had become depressed and weak in the boudoir because of the Third Prince. If she was still like this now, she was afraid that the concubine would take her place.

Then he said, "Third Imperial Concubine, if you get sick, the one who will benefit is the concubine. We have a long time to live together, and the Third Prince will see your good side one day."

When Gu Zhixiao heard these words, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, there is a long way to go..." Why was she only focusing on the present?

As she spoke, she picked up the spoon and started drinking the soup. If she wanted to secure her position as the principal wife, she had to take good care of her body first, so that the Third Prince could see her good qualities.

Yinhuan watched Gu Zhixiao eat, and her brows relaxed.

Gu Zhixiao finished his meal quickly and suddenly thought of Su Shengsheng, so he asked Xiang Yinhuan, "I asked you to find out what the relationship is between the Regent Princess and the Third Prince. How is your inquiry going?"

Yinhuan immediately bowed and said, "Replying to the Third Princess, the Princess Regent liked the Third Prince before, but for some reason she ended up marrying the Prince Regent."

"That's all you heard?"

"Yes, there are many rumors outside. Some say that the Regent Princess has been ugly since she was a child and was not welcomed in the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the end, she was forced to marry the Regent."

"Some even say that the Princess Regent married the Prince Regent on behalf of Concubine Su."

Gu Zhixiao frowned as he listened, "Then how did Su Qingqing get together with the Third Prince..."

"I think that maybe the Regent Princess likes the Third Prince, and Concubine Su has seen him for a long time. The two of them must have been attracted to each other, so they got together naturally."

Gu Zhixiao was confused by what he heard. He recalled the way the Regent Princess looked at the Third Prince in Shangqing Palace last time. There was no love in her eyes at all.

The third prince, on the other hand, always glanced at the Regent Princess intentionally or unintentionally.

While Yinhuan was tidying up the things on the table, he said, "The Third Imperial Concubine, she is now the Regent Princess, you don't have to worry about what will happen between her and the Third Prince."

"Yeah." Gu Zhixiao nodded lightly.
