The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 360

The old lady snorted and walked away.

Yun Shen stepped forward and supported Madam Yun, saying, "Mother, let me help you go back and rest!"

Mrs. Yun nodded.

As night fell, Yun Shen drove to Shuntian Prefecture Government Office with the guards from the General's Mansion.

The lights on both sides of the street were dim, with only a few lanterns flickering occasionally.

When they arrived at the Shuntian government office, they found the gate closed.

Yun Shen got off his horse, walked to the gate, and shouted, "Open the door. I am Yun Shen. I am here to take my father's body home."

The gatekeeper heard his voice and opened the door.

"Major General Yun".

Yun Shen nodded, walked into the mansion, and saw Yun Canghai's body lying in the side hall.

Fortunately, it was winter, and ice was placed around his father's body. If it had been summer, his father's body would have rotted long ago.

Although the body did not decay in the winter, seeing his father's head and body separated, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and couldn't help but burst into tears.

He walked forward, stroked his father's face, and whispered, "Father, your son is here to take you home."

The guards watched silently from the side, their hearts filled with grief and anger.

After returning to the general's mansion, Yun Shen ordered white lanterns to be hung and a mourning hall to be set up.

The entire general's residence was shrouded in an atmosphere of grief.

The next morning, everyone who knew the news came to the general's residence to mourn General Yun.

Some of them held incense and candles, while others knelt in front of the mourning hall and prayed silently.

Regent's House

After Shangguan Ziling woke up, Qiu Kui and several maids told Shangguan Ziling what happened in the General's Mansion.

Shangguan Ziling sat on the edge of the bed, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

After a while, Shangguan Ziling got up from the bed, washed up, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Chunxiao combed her hair.

"Princess, shall we in the general's mansion pay tribute to General Yun?" Qiu Kui asked.

"Where is Mo Shaoxie? I haven't seen him since early morning. Where did he go?" Shangguan Ziling asked.

Qiu Kui replied: "Someone came from the palace and said that the emperor invited the prince to the palace. The prince entered the palace early in the morning."

Shangguan Ziling frowned. What happened again? She couldn't help but be filled with doubts and worries.

"After breakfast, let's go to the general's mansion!" Shangguan Ziling said.

After Shangguan Ziling had breakfast, she took Qiu Kui and Dong Qing to the general's mansion.

When they arrived at the general's mansion, the area around it was full of carriages.

Dong Qing stopped the carriage and said, "Princess, there are too many carriages ahead and we can't pass."

Shangguan Ziling got out of the carriage and saw that the general's mansion was full of carriages.

Shangguan Ziling jumped off the carriage, waved to Dongqing, and walked straight over, followed closely by Qiukui.

The cold wind blew Shangguan Ziling's dress, but she didn't care.

When she walked to the gate of the general's mansion, she saw people from the prime minister's mansion.

Shangguan Ziling called softly, "Dad."

Shangguan Dong nodded slightly, his eyes were deep and complex, as if containing endless stories.

Shangguan Ziling's gaze turned to her mother again. Her mother was wearing a veil, looking mysterious and elegant.

Beichen Xue nodded to Shangguan Ziling imperceptibly.

Shangguan Ziling looked at Yun Youyou who was supported by her mother and brother, only to see that Yun Youyou was wrapped tightly.

Yun Youyou lowered her head, her face pale and haggard, as if she had just experienced a serious illness.

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart. She said lightly: "Youyou, you are not in good health. Although you are in confinement, the weather is cold now. Please take care of yourself."

When Yun Youyou heard her words, she looked up at her, with a hint of surprise and complicated emotions in her eyes.

She remembered the scene when she saw Shangguan Ziling holding her father's head with her own eyes, and always thought that she was the murderer.

But last night her brother sent someone to tell her the whole story, and she realized that it was all a misunderstanding.

Yun Youyou took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm. "No matter what, I have to see my father off. He is my father after all. Also, I'm sorry, Zi Ling, I misunderstood you." Her voice was weak but full of firmness and persistence.

After hearing what she said, Shangguan Ziling just nodded to show her understanding.

She knew that Yun Youyou's pain and struggle at this moment were no less than anyone else's, and she also needed time to accept and digest it all.
