The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 139: What a good calculation!

In the study of the Prince Regent's Palace, Mo Shaoxie sat upright on a high-backed chair, his face as cold as frost, his deep black eyes seemed to contain endless chill. His presence itself was a kind of majesty that made people dare not approach easily.

Xiao Zijin stood aside, with a teasing smile on his face. He was always a casual person, and he teased, "My Lord, you went out to talk about love, leaving me and Le Wenshu in the capital to manage the palace for you. You really have a princess but no brothers!"

Hearing this, Le Wenshu glared at Xiao Zijin. He was always steady and composed, so he naturally disagreed with Xiao Zijin's outspoken behavior.

Although they have a deep brotherly friendship, they are of different status after all, so some words should not be spoken casually. He coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Mo Shaoxie's expression lightened up when he heard that. Mo Shaoxie glanced at Xiao Zijin indifferently, with a playful smile on his face.

Mo Shaoxie slowly said: "If you have the ability, I will give you a holiday and you can find someone to talk about love."

Xiao Zijin was stunned when he heard this. He stared at Mo Shaoxie with wide eyes, as if he was wondering if he had heard it wrongly.

Xiao Zijin beat his chest and stamped his feet, shaking his head repeatedly, looking like he couldn't accept it. He muttered: "Alas! Women are so powerful that they can melt even the iceberg. This young master doesn't want women. This young master has walked through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single leaf on him."

Le Wenshu, who was standing by, shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. He was always steady and composed, so he naturally disagreed with Xiao Zijin's frivolous remarks.

Le Wenshu said to Mo Shaoxie with a serious face: "Your Highness, the emperor's actions have become more frequent. Even the Empress's family, Duke Fu's Mansion, was impeached by the eldest prince's people, but the emperor took it lightly." His words were full of worry and tension, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.

Mo Shaoxie's expression instantly turned cold when he heard this. A sharp light flashed across his originally calm eyes, like an awakened beast.

Mo Shaoxie's face was as gloomy as water, and there was a murderous aura around him, as if he was ready to explode at any time. The atmosphere in the whole room became depressed and tense, as if a storm was about to come.

Mo Shaoxie snorted coldly, and the sound was like the north wind in the cold winter, icy and piercing. His eyes became sharp, as sharp as a knife. He spoke slowly, and his voice revealed an unquestionable majesty: "Find them something to do."

Xiao Zijin and Le Wenshu shuddered upon hearing this. They seemed to be struck by an invisible force, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. They looked at each other quickly, their eyes revealing a deep worry and uneasiness. However, they quickly looked away, not daring to meet Mo Shaoxie's cold gaze.

The atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point. Mo Shaoxie's majesty and coldness made everyone feel an invisible pressure. Xiao Zijin and Le Wenshu even felt palpitations and uneasiness, as if they had foreseen the storm and crisis in the future.

Le Wenshu's voice rang out again, and every word was like an icy arrow, shooting into everyone's heart.

Le Wenshu said slowly: "Your Highness, after you and Miss Shangguan left the capital, the Prime Minister was afraid that Miss Shangguan's departure would cause a bad reputation, so he wrote a letter to the Prince's Mansion. I sent Mo Yu to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pretend to be Miss Shangguan. The Emperor once summoned Miss Shangguan to the palace, and I asked Mo Yu to pretend to be Miss Shangguan to enter the palace. The Emperor wanted Miss Shangguan to get the tiger talisman of the Mo Family Army from Your Highness, either openly or secretly."

Mo Shaoxie's face suddenly changed when he heard this. There was a flash of anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn everything to ashes. He stood up suddenly and slapped the tea table with his hand. The tea table broke into two pieces, and the fragments flew everywhere. The atmosphere in the study room instantly dropped to freezing point, and a murderous atmosphere spread.

Mo Shaoxie was so angry that he laughed and said, "Oh, he is so obsessed with the tiger talisman in my hand? How could my Ling'er listen to him? Does he think that if he gets the tiger talisman, the Mohist army will listen to him?" His voice was cold and sharp, revealing a strong anger.

Le Wenshu continued leisurely, "The Queen also asked Miss Shangguan to enter the palace, saying that if she gave up being the Regent Princess, she would make her the Crown Princess. The secret guards reported that the Crown Prince did not want to marry a Crown Princess and insisted on marrying Miss Shangguan as the Crown Princess, so the matter was brought to the Queen." His words revealed a deep irony and ridicule.

Mo Shaoxie's face darkened when he heard this. His eyes flashed with a cold light, as if he wanted to freeze everything. He said in an extremely cold voice, "Oh, do they think their current life is too stable?"

Xiao Zijin and Le Wenshu both felt the chill in the room. They couldn't help but rub their arms, trying to dispel the chill. They knew that Mo Shaoxie's anger would not be so easily quelled, and there would probably be some fun in the days ahead.

Mo Shaoxie was having a secret conversation with them in the study.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangguan Ziling slowly opened her eyes and found herself staring at a strange face. The curious eyes were looking at her, and Mo Yu had changed back into his own clothes.

Mo Yu immediately knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "Subordinate Mo Yu greets the princess."

"Get up." Shangguan Ziling said lightly.

"Thank you, Princess." Mo Yu stood up. There was no expression on her face, but her eyes revealed a deep awe and respect.

Shangguan Ziling carefully looked at the woman in front of her. Her temperament was completely different from the others around Mo Shaoxie, as if she carried a mysterious aura. She asked softly, "Is it you who pretended to be me when I left the capital?"

"Yes." Mo Yu answered respectfully, "I just went out shopping with Miss Youyou and just returned home."

Shangguan Ziling nodded, and understood. Before she left, she had told Youyou that she would be away for a while. It turned out that her father wanted to prevent someone from knowing her whereabouts, so Mo Yu pretended to be her. Shangguan Ziling felt warm in her heart.

However, when Mo Yu began to tell about the series of things she encountered after leaving the capital, Shangguan Ziling's face gradually became colder. Especially when she heard about entering the palace, she sneered repeatedly, with anger and ridicule flashing in her eyes.

"Humph, they really have a good plan!" Shangguan Ziling said coldly, "You want me to give up my position as the Regent Princess and become the Crown Princess? Dream on! They let me steal the tiger talisman of the Mohist Army. The emperor and empress are indeed a perfect couple. What a pair!"
