The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 148 5 The Princess Was Beaten at Night

Shangguan Ziling snuggled in Mo Shaoxie's arms. She whispered, "Nothing. I was just thinking about my late mother. By the way, the day after tomorrow I will go with my brother to burn incense for my mother and tell her the good news that I am getting married."

Mo Shaoxie gently stroked her cheek, his eyes full of affection and doting. He said in a deep voice: "I can't go with Ling'er the day after tomorrow. Ling'er, please be careful and burn some incense for my mother-in-law. I will go to burn incense for my mother-in-law in person this day."

Shangguan Ziling said "hmm", and then asked: "By the way, has Doctor Xue prepared the antidote? Do you want me to help?" There was a hint of concern and eagerness in her words, and it was obvious that she was very concerned about Mo Shaoxie's safety.

Upon hearing this, Mo Shaoxie smiled slightly and said, "It should be prepared the day after tomorrow, Ling'er don't have to worry." His tone was relaxed and confident, as if he had great trust in Doctor Xue's abilities.

Shangguan Ziling was relieved when she heard this. She took out a large bottle from her arms, held it in her arms, and said, "Take this, it contains spiritual spring water."

Mo Shaoxie took the bottle, a light flashed in his eyes. He knew the function of Ling'er's spiritual spring water.

Mo Shaoxie smiled and said, "Okay, I would like to thank Ling'er."

The two of them stayed together for a while, leaning against each other and enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth. However, time was always short, and finally Mo Shaoxie got up and left.

Mo Shaoxie gently kissed Shangguan Ziling's forehead and whispered, "Ling'er, go to bed early. I'm leaving."

Mo Shaoxie's figure gradually blurred in the dark night, and finally merged with the surrounding darkness and disappeared. He returned to the Regent's Mansion, walked into the study, stood quietly in front of the window, and stared blankly at the moonlight outside. The bright moonlight sprinkled on him, covering him with a mysterious aura.

At this time, a dark shadow appeared silently at the door of the study. He was the shadow who came back from the palace. He respectfully reported to Mo Shaoxie: "Master, the matter is done."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shaoxie simply responded indifferently: "Well, step back."

After receiving the order, Shadow immediately dodged and hid, disappearing into the darkness.

Silence returned to the study, leaving only Mo Shaoxie standing alone in front of the window, immersed in his own thoughts.

At the same time, the palace was in chaos. The fifth princess was lying on the ground, her face bruised and swollen, groaning in pain. Her experience was obviously very tragic and unbearable to watch.

The maids heard the noise and came in. They were so frightened when they saw this scene. They had never seen the fifth princess being hurt so badly. They were panicked for a moment and didn't know how to deal with it.

One of the brave maids immediately ran to report to the queen. After hearing the news, the queen immediately brought a group of maids and eunuchs to check the situation. They were all shocked when they saw the miserable state of the fifth princess.

The palace was in chaos. The eunuchs ran around looking for the imperial physician, while the maids were busy taking care of the fifth princess and maintaining order. The queen's face was livid, and her eyes were flashing with anger.

The emperor also rushed over after hearing the news. When he entered the palace and saw Jun Wanting's miserable appearance, he was immediately furious. He widened his eyes, clenched his fists, and the imperial aura in his body burst out instantly, shocking everyone present.

"Come here!" the emperor shouted sternly, "Immediately have the imperial guards search for the assassin, without any mistakes!"

"Yes!" With the order, the guards in the palace followed the order and left. The whole palace suddenly fell into tension and chaos.

The Royal Guards rushed into every corner like a tide, holding weapons and looking as sharp as eagles, vowing to bring the assassin to justice. For a moment, the originally peaceful palace became a mess.

The queen stood aside, watching all this happen. She had already suspected someone in her heart. However, facing the powerful suspect, she did not dare to act rashly. None of the assassins sent by her brother last time came back. She did not dare to act rashly now. She could only secretly resent him.

The search was conducted extremely quickly and carefully. No detail was left out and every corner was searched thoroughly. However, despite the best efforts of the Royal Guards, they still could not find any trace of the assassin.

The emperor was furious when he heard the news. As the emperor, someone dared to beat his princess right under his nose. This was undoubtedly a great challenge to his authority. He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with rage, as if he wanted to burn the daring culprit to death.

The emperor paced back and forth, roaring, "Investigate, investigate this matter thoroughly, and find that bastard for me!"

The emperor was very angry. If the assassin could beat his daughter silently in the palace, did it mean that he could also assassinate him silently? This thought shocked him instantly. He thought that he was probably the only person who had such ability. The emperor could not sit still for a moment.

Following the emperor's order, the guards in the palace took action and launched a large-scale manhunt. With weapons in hand and eyes as sharp as eagles, they vowed to bring the arrogant assassin to justice.

However, although the emperor and the queen had vaguely guessed that someone was suspicious, they had no substantial evidence and could not take further action for a while. This made the entire palace shrouded in a depressing and tense atmosphere.

At the same time, Shangguan Ziling had no idea what was happening in the palace. She was immersed in a dream, sleeping sweetly and peacefully. The moonlight shone through the window lattice on her face, covering her with a layer of silvery white brilliance. Her breathing was even and steady, as if she was in a carefree world.

In sharp contrast to the tense atmosphere in the palace is Shangguan Ziling’s sweet dream.

However, when the sunlight shone on her face through the window, Shangguan Ziling had no idea what had happened in the palace last night, nor did she know that she had been completely hated by the Queen.

Chunxiao's voice was soft and crisp. She stood beside the bed, her hands gently resting on the edge of the bed. "Miss, get up and have breakfast." Chunxiao said softly. Her tone revealed a kind of care and concern that made people feel extremely warm and comfortable.

Xia Yu stood aside with a playful smile on her face. She gently patted Shangguan Ziling's quilt with her hand, as if urging her to get up quickly.

"Miss, I said I would go shopping on the street today, so I called you to get up early!" Xia Yu said.

Shangguan Ziling slowly woke up to the calls of the two. She yawned and felt a little stiff and uncomfortable. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Chunxiao and Xia Yu standing by the bed, with friendly smiles on their faces.

She stretched herself and felt her body gradually relax. She sat up and looked at the sunlight outside the window, and her mood became brighter and happier.

"Okay, I'm up." Shangguan Ziling said softly, her tone revealing a sense of laziness and comfort, as if she was still enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the early morning.
