The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 146 The Princess Will Marry the Regent

Shangguan Ziling called softly, "Chunxiao." Her voice was soft and clear, like a breeze blowing through the woods, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.

Chun Xiao immediately walked in from outside. She came to Shangguan Ziling, bowed slightly, and asked respectfully, "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Shangguan Ziling looked at Chunxiao and said with a smile: "Go prepare some iced sour plum soup and send it to my father and brother to cool them down."

After hearing the order, Chunxiao immediately responded and retreated.

In the study of the Prince Regent's Palace, the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Mo Shaoxie sat behind the desk, his face gloomy, his tightly pursed lips revealing his inner dissatisfaction and anger. The cold air around him seemed to freeze the entire room, showing his displeasure at the moment.

Xiao Zijin and Le Wenshu sat on one side and had a keen insight into Mo Shaoxie's emotional changes.

Xiao Zijin spoke slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "This Fifth Princess has become more and more brainless because of the Queen's pampering." His words revealed his contempt for the Fifth Princess.

Le Wenshu continued, "Everyone knows that the queen dotes on her two children, so there will probably be more trouble. Now that Doctor Xue has returned, he has been preparing an antidote. The poison in the prince's body is the most urgent matter."

Xiao Zijin nodded, agreeing with Le Wenshu's point of view: "Yes, let them do whatever they want. The most important thing is to cure the poison in the prince's body. Besides, Miss Shangguan has not suffered any loss."

However, Mo Shaoxie still looked unhappy. He couldn't swallow the fact that the person he loved so much was bullied.

Mo Shaoxie called out to Shadow in a cold voice, and a figure instantly appeared in the study, kneeling on the ground and obeying his orders.

Mo Shaoxie gave an order in a cold voice: "Go to the palace tonight and teach that stupid woman a lesson."

After receiving the order, Shadow disappeared instantly, as if he had never appeared.

Xiao Zijin and Le Wenshu looked at each other and shook their heads. They knew Mo Shaoxie's personality and style of doing things, and knew how much he loved and wanted to protect Shangguan Ziling. This guy really dotes on his princess! They thought to themselves, feeling helpless about Mo Shaoxie's decision.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Kunde Hall of the Imperial Palace was extremely heavy. The Queen sat on the Phoenix Throne, her face pale, her brows revealing deep helplessness and fatigue. She looked at her daughter in front of her with a savage face, and for the first time she felt deep regret.

Jun Wanting, as a princess of the royal family, should have noble manners and elegant temperament. However, at this moment, she was like a street shrew, throwing tantrums without any image.

Jun Wanting did not think she was wrong at all. Instead, she looked at the queen pleadingly and said, "Mother, I like the Regent and I want to marry him. Can you ask father to cancel the marriage between Shangguan Ziling and the Regent? I beg you."

The queen closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her anger. She felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning. What sin had she committed? Her two children were such bastards. The prince had made a scene in her palace in order to marry Shangguan Ziling, and now her daughter was throwing a tantrum in order to compete for the position of regent.

The air in Kunde Hall seemed to freeze, and it was so oppressive that it was suffocating. The queen felt powerless and didn't know how to face it all. The son and daughter she was once proud of now made her feel deeply disappointed and sad.

"Mother..." Jun Wanting's voice trembled, tears welled up in her eyes. She tried to impress the queen with her tenderness. However, the queen's anger had reached its peak at this moment. She slammed the tea table with a deafening bang. She widened her eyes and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

Jun Wanting was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and tears flowed down her face. She looked at the queen in horror, watching the queen who had never lost her temper with her suddenly lose her temper.

The queen took a deep breath and tried to calm her anger. She looked at her spoiled daughter, feeling helpless and disappointed. She said sternly, "I will choose a husband for you. Don't think about the regent. He is not suitable for you."

"No, why not? I think the Regent is the only one who suits me best. He is brave, powerful and domineering. I just like men like him." Jun Wanting said excitedly, completely disregarding the Queen's feelings.

After hearing this, a trace of anger flashed in the queen's eyes. She sneered and said, "You'd better give up this idea. Come, send the fifth princess back to her palace. You are not allowed to step out of the palace without my order."

"Mother, how can you do this? I will go to the Regent's Palace and explain things to the Regent. I will tell him that this princess wants to marry him." Jun Wanting pushed away the palace maid who came forward and cried heartbreakingly.

"Hmph, do you think your love will get a response from him? Stop dreaming. If you continue to be stubborn, I will not let you off easily. Come, send the fifth princess back." After the queen finished speaking, she turned away, leaving Jun Wanting sitting alone on the floor of the hall crying.

Silence returned to Kunde Hall, with only Jun Wanting's sobbing echoing. She felt helpless and desperate, not knowing how to face this cruel reality. She had once imagined spending a lifetime of good times with the Regent, but now she was slapped hard by reality.

Jun Wanting's personal maid trembled and stepped forward, her caution was like a leaf in the wind. She stretched out her hands to Jun Wanting, her voice full of concern and helplessness: "Princess, let's go back!"

However, Jun Wanting was in a very bad mood at the moment. She pushed the maid's hand away with such force that the maid staggered back a few steps.

Jun Wanting cried, "Get out!" Tears rolled down her face like pearls from a broken string, her face full of sadness and unwillingness.

Jun Wanting sat on the ground, crying sadly. Her tears dripped onto the floor, making a crisp sound, as if telling of her inner pain and despair. She didn't understand why her mother didn't fulfill her wish. Couldn't her mother see her deep affection for the regent?

She thought, if her mother told her father and asked him to issue an order to grant the marriage, even if the regent disliked her, would he disobey the order? In her mind, the royal order was supreme and no one dared to disobey. She firmly believed that as long as her father gave the order, her marriage with the regent would go smoothly.

However, the cruelty of reality was far beyond her imagination. The Queen's firm opposition, the Regent's love for someone else, and the power struggle within the court were all beyond her understanding and control as a little princess.

Her persistence and perseverance seem so insignificant in the face of power; her dreams and love become so out of reach in the face of reality.

She sat there, crying, her heart filled with helplessness and despair. Her tears were a longing for love, and her sobs echoed in the empty palace, seeming particularly desolate and lonely.
