The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 188: Northern Kingdom Beiyuan Qi

Mo Shaoxie's voice was cold, his brows were furrowed, and he asked, "Has the Nan family's people not been found yet?"

Xiao Zijin's voice seemed a little heavy, and he answered: "There is no news, Your Majesty. Are there really any survivors of the Nan family? Could it be that we are wrong?"

Le Wenshu shook his head, his eyes flashing with determination, and said, "The Nan family is good at using poison, so it's not surprising even if there were some who slipped through the net back then. I'm just afraid that this person has come back to avenge the Nan family's genocide." His words revealed a sense of vigilance and precautions towards the Nan family.

After hearing this, Xiao Zijin seemed a little disapproving. She retorted, "It was the late emperor who issued an order to confiscate the Nan family's property and exterminate them. Even if the Nan family wanted to seek revenge, they would turn to the emperor. The emperor has sent people to assassinate the prince time and time again, so why not let them fight?" His tone revealed a kind of helplessness and weariness with the struggle for imperial power.

However, Le Wenshu disagreed with her opinion. He glared at Xiao Zijin and said, "The people of the Nan family are narrow-minded. The existence of the Nan family will only threaten the people. Have you forgotten how many people died when the Nan family poisoned the people to rebel?" His words revealed hatred and condemnation for the Nan family's behavior.

Although they were young at that time, they also heard their parents talk about what happened at that time.

Mo Shaoxie glanced at Xiao Zijin like an ice knife, his eyes were sharp and cold.

Xiao Zijin knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he closed his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more. He felt an invisible pressure enveloping him, making him afraid to speak easily.

Mo Shaoxie's eyes were deep and his voice was calm. He said calmly, "Let Min Yoongi continue to investigate secretly."

Le Wenshu nodded. He understood what Mo Shaoxie meant and knew that this matter should not be taken lightly.

He and Xiao Zijin talked about other things, but Mo Shaoxie was absent-minded, his thoughts seemed to have drifted somewhere else.

Le Wenshu and Xiao Zijin noticed Mo Shaoxie's abnormality. They looked at each other and understood what Mo Shaoxie was thinking.

Xiao Zijin couldn't help but ask: "Prince, are you thinking about your princess? As expected, once people fall in love, even the iron tree will bloom."

Mo Shaoxie was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and glanced at Xiao Zi with cold eyes.

Xiao Zijin's body suddenly tensed up, and he said, "Oh, my Lord, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You can slowly miss your princess."

Almost as soon as Xiao Zijin finished speaking, Mo Shaoxie slammed his palm towards him, as fast as lightning and with incredible power.

However, Xiao Zijin seemed to have anticipated this scene. He flashed and quickly hid at the door. At the same time, he patted his chest in fear and said, "Your Highness, I'm leaving!" His words revealed a sense of relief and helplessness.

Le Wenshu looked at this scene and couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, saying: "This Zijin, he just has no control over his mouth."

Mo Shaoxie's face was very cold. He said coldly: "Mo Ying, teach Young Master Xiao a lesson." His words revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Mo Ying's figure instantly appeared in front of Xiao Zijin, blocking his way. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he wanted to see through Xiao Zijin's heart.

The corners of Xiao Zijin's mouth twitched, and he spread his hands and said, "Your Highness, there's no need to be like this!" His tone revealed a sense of helplessness and pleading.

However, Mo Ying did not give him any chance. He quickly stepped forward and started fighting with Xiao Zijin.

The two figures moved quickly in the yard, and their fists and feet collided with each other, making crisp sounds.

Although Xiao Zijin dodged in a panic, each of Mo Ying's moves was extremely sharp, making it difficult for him to defend.

Le Wenshu stood aside and watched the fight with a smile on his face.

He seemed to be expecting Xiao Zijin to learn a lesson from this incident and whether he would dare to speak without restraint in front of the prince again.

At this time, Shangguan Ziling was lying quietly by the window of the private room on the second floor of Xiangxiangxuan Restaurant. Her eyes passed through the bustling crowd, as if she was staring at the distant horizon.

Her eyes were deep, like the moonlight reflected on the lake, quiet and profound.

Yun Youyou sat aside and said softly: "Zi Ling, I heard that Ruan Feiyin was forcibly sent back to the Ruan Mansion by the prince. Her father thought she was shameful, so he had her sent to a nunnery. You know, before the accident, she was very doted on in the Ruan Mansion." Her words revealed sympathy and regret for Ruan Feiyin.

Shangguan Ziling heard the news, took a sip from the teacup, and said calmly: "Alas! Women are so pathetic. When they have no value, even their own relatives will abandon them."

The little fat man in the space said: "Master, women in ancient times had a low status and their fate was in the hands of others."

Shangguan Ziling said: "So you have to be strong yourself. It is better to rely on yourself than on others."

"Master, your father and brothers all dote on you, and the man you are about to marry dotes on you even more. Master is different from them."

The sunlight outside the window shone through the window lattice onto Shangguan Ziling's face, and her outline looked soft and beautiful in the sunlight.

On the busy street, people and cars were flowing. Suddenly, a man stopped in the crowd, and his eyes were attracted by a beautiful figure at the second-floor window.

The woman lay quietly by the window, her long black hair fluttering gently in the wind. The sunlight shone on her face, highlighting her beautiful features.

The man stared at her blankly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of the illusion, but the image of the woman was deeply imprinted in his mind.

He turned to the attendant beside him and said, "Yubin, do you think the woman upstairs looks like the aunt in the painting?"

Yu Bin followed his master's line of sight and saw the woman upstairs in a plain white dress, with an elegant temperament and beautiful appearance. He said in surprise: "Master, don't say, this girl really looks like the long-missing Princess Beichen in the painting."

The person being called Master was none other than Bei Yuanqi, the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom. He also came to the Dongyue Dynasty to attend the wedding of the Regent.

Shangguan Ziling seemed to notice that someone was watching her. She slowly withdrew her gaze and made eye contact with the man on the street below.

The man smiled politely, revealing his white teeth. His smile revealed a warmth and kindness.

However, Shangguan Ziling did not respond to his smile, but looked away.

Yun Youyou noticed all this and asked curiously, "Huh? Zi Ling, that young man seems to be looking at you, but he is really handsome. In the capital, such a handsome young man should be very famous, right? But I don't know him."

Shangguan Ziling smiled faintly and said to Yun Youyou: "Youyou, I guess this person is not from the Dongyue Dynasty."
