Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Chapter 117 Su Qingqing learned that Su Shengsheng was injured.

"That's great." Su Qingqing sat down, the excitement on her face lingering, "If Su Shengsheng hadn't been saved, Gu Zhixiao wouldn't have survived."

"Haha, it's like killing two birds with one stone. I got rid of two major worries at once."

Su Qingqing smiled at the side, and the maid came in carefully to report, "Concubine Su, the third prince has returned home."

Su Qingqing immediately stopped smiling and signaled Huaying to retreat with her eyes.

Then he stood up to greet Mo Jingheng.

When Mo Jingheng came in, Huaying had already left. Su Qingqing saluted and said, "Brother Heng, you're back?"

"Yeah." Mo Jingheng sat at the table with a depressed look on his face, not saying anything.

Su Qingqing saw this and asked with concern: "Brother Heng, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Jingheng asked with doubt, "Did you cause Su Shengsheng to get hurt?"

Su Qingqing was shocked. She didn't expect Mo Jingheng to get the news so quickly.

Pretending to be ignorant, he shook his head and asked, "Sister is injured?"

Mo Jingheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "You really don't know?"

Su Qingqing immediately pretended to be weak and said, "Brother Heng, since I came to the Third Prince's mansion, I have never left the mansion. Even when my father was imprisoned, I did not say a word."

"Although I have a problem with my sister, I don't want to kill her, so how could I hurt her?"

Mo Jingheng was coaxed by Su Qingqing with just a few words. Looking at Su Qingqing's aggrieved look, he immediately stood up and wiped the tears from Su Qingqing's face.

"Okay, I'm not blaming you. It's just that she was dealing with the epidemic recently. She got injured at this critical moment. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Anyun Kingdom."

Su Qingqing looked at Mo Jingheng with misty eyes, "Hasn't the epidemic been resolved?"

"Alas." Mo Jingheng put his hands behind his back helplessly, "News just came from the south that the general who guards the country has been seriously injured. The south has become a mess."

Su Qingqing was pleasantly surprised when she heard this. If the general was injured, how would Gu Zhixiao feel? But she still looked worried as she asked, "How is the general's injury? Has any doctor gone to see him?"

"The situation is unclear." Mo Jingheng looked at the maid beside him and said, "Go and see if the Third Imperial Concubine has returned?"

"Yes." After receiving the order, the maid went to Gu Zhixiao's yard.

Seeing this, Su Qingqing poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mo Jingheng, "Brother Heng, are you going to tell Sister Gu about this?"

Mo Jingheng took the teacup and sat down. "He is her father after all. It would be wrong to hide it from him."

Su Qingqing nodded, "But I heard that the Third Imperial Concubine didn't come back today."

Mo Jingheng paused with his hand holding the teacup and frowned slightly. He knew that Gu Zhixiao had been going to the refugees outside the city, so he had turned a blind eye to it. Now it was so late and Gu Zhixiao had not returned yet.

Then he asked, "Did she send anyone to bring back a letter?"

Su Qingqing shook her head, "Maybe my sister is injured, so Sister Gu is also here to take care of her."

Mo Jingheng put down the teacup in his hand. It was a good idea, because this way when Gu Zhixiao came back he would know how serious Su Shengsheng's injury was.

A maid ran in hurriedly, "Third Prince, Concubine Su, a letter from the Regent's Palace."

Mo Jingheng immediately said after hearing this: "Bring it up."

The maid handed the letter to Mo Jingheng and said, "People in the Regent's Palace said that the Third Princess injured the Regent's Princess and is now being held in the Regent's Palace."

Mo Jingheng opened the letter and took a look at it, then angrily slammed the letter on the table.

Su Qingqing said with a surprised expression: "How could Sister Gu..."

Mo Jingheng also didn't believe it. Although he didn't like Gu Zhixiao, he knew Gu Zhixiao's character very well, otherwise his mother wouldn't have insisted on making Gu Zhixiao his principal wife.

Now the extent of the General's injury is unclear, Gu Zhixiao is suspected of murdering Su Shengsheng, Prime Minister Su is imprisoned in prison, and his mother is still in the cold palace.

The situation is very unfavorable to him now. If anything happens to one of them, it will affect his path to becoming the crown prince.

Mo Jingheng clenched the letter in his hand. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. The position of the crown prince must be his. Now that the emperor's uncle is also participating in the government affairs, it has a great influence on his path to becoming the crown prince.

He couldn't let any problems happen to those who supported him. His father couldn't be relied upon now and was suppressed by his uncle in every way. His uncle had always favored Mo Jingxuan, so it was inevitable that he would not let Mo Jingxuan become the crown prince.

The dissatisfaction in his heart roared fiercely, and then Mo Jingheng looked at Su Qingqing, "Go see Su Shengsheng tomorrow and ask about the situation of the third imperial concubine."

Su Qingqing was stunned. He knew that she and Su Shengsheng didn't get along, but now he wanted her to go see Su Shengsheng. What did Mo Jingheng mean?

Then she said, "Brother Heng, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out before I even enter the Prince Regent's Palace."

Mo Jingheng said nonchalantly, "Last time you sent an invitation to Su Shengsheng, she accepted it, too." Then he slowly stroked Su Qingqing's loose hair, "This prince believes that with your ability, you will definitely be able to meet Su Shengsheng. Remember to ask about Gu Zhixiao."

Su Qingqing pursed her lips and nodded, "Then I'll try it tomorrow."

"This is my good Qing'er." Then he held Su Qingqing in his arms, "Don't worry, I will rescue your father."

Su Qingqing sneered in Mo Jingheng's arms. It turned out that all men were unreliable.

Regent's Palace.

There was silence in Wanxiang Hall. Maids were busy coming in and out outside, but everything was orderly and not making any sound.

The candles in Mo Chenyuan's room were lit, and Bai Caorong was also on standby outside, creating the appearance that the Regent Princess was really dying.

Inside the room, Su Shengsheng was lying on the bed with her legs crossed, and she was putting fruit from the fruit bowl beside her into her mouth with one hand.

Enjoying leisurely.

Mo Chenyuan sat by the bed and peeled the tribute oranges. After carefully peeling the skin, he divided it into two halves and handed them to Su Shengsheng.

Su Shengsheng lazily took the tribute orange and stuffed it into her mouth, "Hmm." Then she frowned, "Sour..."

"Sour?" Mo Chenyuan glanced at the tribute orange in his hand and put it aside, "Then I won't eat it."

Then he handed the tea beside to Su Shengsheng and said, "Drink some tea to calm you down."

Su Shengsheng stood up, took the tea and drank it all.

Qiu'er's voice rang out from outside, "Princess, the Third Consort knew that you were injured and wanted to die to apologize."

Su Shengsheng put down the teacup and prepared to get out of bed to see Gu Zhixiao, but was stopped by Mo Chenyuan, "If you go out now, your previous plan will be exposed. Have you thought it through?"

Su Shengsheng stopped what she was doing, but she forgot this in her haste.

Then he said to Qiu'er outside: "Go tell Gu Zhixiao that if she dies now, she will be killed by those who want her dead. Doesn't she want to find out who wants to harm her?"

Qiu'er's voice replied from outside: "Yes, Princess, I will go and reply right away."
