The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 457

Xia Yu muttered quietly, "The princess is deliberately trying to keep us in suspense!"

Shangguan Ziling pretended not to hear and held Xiao Yier and teased him.

At this time, Shangguan Dong and Beichen Xue came to the Regent's Palace and went straight to the main courtyard.

As soon as Beichen Xue came in, she took little Yi'er from Shangguan Ziling's arms. The baby, now a full month old, was lying in Beichen Xue's arms. He was not shy and his clear eyes looked around curiously.

His little hands tightly grasped Beichen Xue's clothes. Beichen Xue gently shook the rattle, making a clear and pleasant sound, which made Xiao Yier giggle. That laughter was like the sound of nature, which moved everyone present.

"Does Xiao Yier like this?" Beichen Xue asked gently, her eyes full of love. She looked at her grandson who had just turned one month old, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. Xiao Yier's arrival not only brought laughter to the palace, but also made Beichen Xue feel unprecedented joy and happiness.

As night fell, everyone sat around the dining table and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

During the dinner, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. However, Yun Youyou was not here today.

Because they were afraid that she would be upset and go crazy after seeing Xiao Yier, they didn't let her come, and Shangguan Zirun also stayed at home with her.

After dinner, Beichen Xue carried Xiao Yier back to the room. She gently put him on the bed, then sat beside the bed and looked at him quietly.

Little Yi'er had fallen asleep, with a satisfied smile on his tender face. Beichen Xue reached out and gently stroked his little face, her heart filled with endless love.

"My little Yi'er, you are grandma's baby." Beichen Xue said softly.

Beichenxue and Shangguan Dong did not go back but rested in the guest room.

Xiao Yi'er was also carried back to the room by her. Beichen Xue squatted beside him, rocking the crib, looking at the sleeping little guy, unable to take her eyes off him for a long time.

Shangguan Dong couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Madam, go to bed and rest!"

"I'm not sleepy yet!"

Shangguan Dong shook his head and said, "If your daughter-in-law sees you like this, she will go crazy and will probably think that you dislike her."

Beichen Xue stood up and lowered her voice, "Hmph! Don't mention him. I get so angry when I mention her. She almost killed Zirun before. She just gets angry in the house all day long. You see, we have never treated her badly. Now she gets angry all day long, as if our whole family has treated her badly. She cries every day and makes a fuss every night. It really makes us feel uneasy!"

"Okay, okay, okay, let's not talk about her. Let's go out for a walk and get some fresh air in a few days. I really don't want to go back to that home at all."

"Poor Zirun."

As the night deepened, the Regent's Palace gradually fell into silence.

The next morning, Shangguan Ziling and her parents were sitting around the dining table, enjoying a simple meal.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door broke the tranquility of the early morning, and Shangguan Zirun's figure rushed in. In his arms was Yun Youyou, whose face was dark and blue and who seemed to have lost her life.

"Zi Ling, Zi Ling, hurry up and save You You!" Shangguan Zirun's voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety and fear. His eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night. His arrival instantly plunged the originally quiet palace into tension and anxiety.

Shangguan Ziling and the others all looked grim upon seeing this, and they quickly stood up to greet him. Yun Youyou's skin, which was originally as white as jade, now turned dark blue, an obvious sign of poisoning.

Seeing this, Beichen Xue covered her chest with anger and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what's going on? Your father and I left for a while last night, how...how did something like this happen again?"

Shangguan Zirun's eyes were filled with fatigue and self-blame. He choked up and said, "Youyou cried all night last night and barely fell asleep at dawn. I got up to go to the toilet, and when I came back, I found that something was wrong with her. There was a medicine bottle with an unpleasant smell on the bed."

Beichen Xue was so angry that she almost fainted after hearing this. She pointed at Yun Youyou with a shaking finger, her voice full of disappointment and anger: "What sin did we commit to deserve such a daughter-in-law?"

Shangguan Ziling ignored her mother's questioning. She took a deep breath, walked to Shangguan Zirun, and calmly ordered: "Brother, put her on the ground and let her lie flat."

Shangguan Zirun hurriedly did as he was told and carefully placed Yun Youyou on the ground.

Shangguan Ziling quickly took out silver needles from her sleeves and inserted acupuncture needles into several acupuncture points on Yun Youyou's head and chest. Her technique was skillful and quick, and each needle was extremely accurate.

As the silver needle pierced into her, Yun Youyou's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, revealing a look of confusion and fear.

"Wow——" Yun Youyou suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Shangguan Zirun quickly supported her to prevent her from falling down due to weakness.

Looking at Yun Youyou's painful and twisted face, Shangguan Ziling's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. She asked coldly: "Yun Youyou, why do you still want to degrade yourself like this? Can't you just live a good life with your brother? Even if you degrade yourself and your brother day by day, your father will never come back, and the lost child will never come back. You used to be generous, decent, free and unrestrained, but look at you now? You are neither a human nor a ghost. How long are you going to make trouble?"

Yun Youyou's eyes instantly moistened when she heard this. She looked up at Shangguan Ziling, her eyes full of resentment and unwillingness: "Shangguan Ziling, I hate you!" Her voice was trembling and sharp, as if she wanted to vent all her resentment.

Shangguan Ziling just looked at her coldly, then raised her hand and slapped her loudly.

A crisp "pop" sound echoed in the silent palace.

Yun Youyou's head was tilted by the slap, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"You can hate me, you can hate me forever," Shangguan Ziling's voice was cold and firm, "but don't torture others and yourself anymore!" After Shangguan Ziling finished speaking, she picked up Xiao Yier and left the hall.

Yun Youyou was awakened by the slap. She stared at Shangguan Ziling's receding figure in a daze, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that she could never go back to the past...

She is now the same person she once was. She ended up living the life she hated. She was jealous. She was just jealous in her heart. Her child was gone, and her father was gone too.

As for Shangguan Ziling, so many people loved and spoiled her, and she also gave birth to a lovely son. If it was her child, and she hadn't lost it at that time, would he call her mother now?

Yun Youyou covered her face with her hands and started crying. Her eyes went dark and she fainted again.
