The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 222 A Very Light Fragrance

Shangguan Ziling's voice was like the cold wind in winter, biting and cold. She looked directly at Mo Wenshu with disdain in her eyes, which made Mo Wenshu feel suffocated.

Shangguan Ziling said coldly: "You deserve to die, just end your life!"

Mo Wenshu was very dissatisfied and tried to defend himself: "This... the Regent Princess is going too far?"

Shangguan Ziling taunted, "Too much? In broad daylight, there were so many assassins on the streets of the capital. Isn't that your fault?"

Mo Wenshu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He said, "This... I will find out who is behind the black-clothed man, make amends for my crime, and give an explanation to the Regent and Princess. I hope they will show mercy."

Mo Shaoxie looked at Mo Wenshu indifferently, without any emotion in his eyes.

As the captain of the Beijing patrol team, Mo Wenshu had the responsibility to ensure the safety of the capital. The occurrence of this assassination was indeed his dereliction of duty.

Mo Shaoxie said calmly: "I'll give you three days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling and turned to leave.

Mo Wenshu stood there, watching their departing backs, his eyes dim and unclear.

When Mo Shaoxie carried Shangguan Ziling back to the Regent's Palace, they walked through the corridor of the palace and came to the room.

Shangguan Ziling snuggled in Mo Shaoxie's arms, feeling his warmth and strength. She whispered, "Why didn't you punish that guy named Mo Wenshu? The assassins were already dead, and he showed up with the patrol team. No one would believe what he said."

Mo Shaoxie smiled faintly, his eyes were deep and mysterious, he said: "It will be very useful to keep him."

"Oh? What's it for?" Shangguan Ziling asked curiously. Her eyes sparkled, as if she was waiting for a surprise.

Mo Shaoxie kept it a secret, and said, "Ling'er will know it later."

Shangguan Ziling curled her lips. She was obviously not satisfied with Mo Shaoxie's answer. She asked, "In three days, can he reveal the person behind this?"

Mo Shaoxie looked at her indifferently and said, "It's nothing more than finding a scapegoat." His words revealed a coldness and decisiveness that made people feel a chill.

He touched Shangguan Ziling's head and said gently, "Ling'er, you don't have to wait for me tonight. I have some things to deal with."

Shangguan Ziling nodded, she knew that Mo Shaoxie had his own plans and arrangements. She snuggled in his arms, feeling his warmth and strength, her heart full of trust and dependence.

Mo Shaoxie put her on the small couch, kissed her forehead, and then strode away to the study.

Shangguan Ziling had just worked and was sweating, so she went to soak in a hot spring and after washing up, she felt refreshed.

She came to the quiet courtyard in the backyard, walked in, and called softly, "Sister Jing, I'm here to see you."

Mo Wenjing heard the voice and looked back. There was a gentle smile on her face. She looked at Shangguan Ziling and said softly, "Ziling, you are here."

Shangguan Ziling walked over and saw the little guy lying on the bed next to her, sucking his little fingers and having a lot of fun.

She couldn't help laughing out loud, squatted down, took out a rattle, shook it in front of the little guy, and whispered, "Little guy, look at this."

When the little guy heard the sound, he stared at the rattle with his big round eyes without blinking. His eyes were bright and clear, as if they could speak.

The little guy was lying on the bed, his eyes fixed on the rattle shaking in front of him.

His eyes were full of curiosity and concentration, as if the whole world was condensed on that small drum surface.

After watching for a while, the little guy seemed to be attracted by the wave drum. He danced with his hands and tried to catch the shaking wave drum, making "aya aya" sounds with his mouth.

Shangguan Ziling looked at this scene, her heart filled with joy. Her face was filled with a gentle smile, that smile was like the sunshine in spring, warm and bright.

She gently placed the splash drum in the little boy's hands so that he could feel the touch of the drum with his own hands.

The little guy held the splash drum tightly in his hands, and an expression of satisfaction and joy appeared on his face.

Shangguan Ziling sat by the bed, looking at the pink and tender little guy, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Sister Jing, this boy is white and chubby. When he grows up, he will definitely be popular with girls."

Mo Wenjing couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She looked at Shangguan Ziling and said softly, "How old is he?" Her tone revealed a hint of pampering and helplessness.

Shangguan Ziling didn't care. She continued, "Well, anyway, our Xiangxiang will be a handsome young man when he grows up." Her words were full of love for this little guy.

The two began chatting and laughing again, talking about interesting things in the palace, the growth of their children, and each other's concerns.

Their conversation was relaxed and pleasant, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

It was not until it was getting dark that Shangguan Ziling had dinner here and then left and returned to Xinlingyuan.

Shangguan Ziling stopped immediately as she stepped into the room.

Shangguan Ziling smelled a very faint fragrance in the air in the room.

Shangguan Ziling frowned slightly and looked around the room, trying to find the source of the fragrance.

Qiu Kui saw Shangguan Ziling standing on the threshold, confused, and asked softly, "Princess? What's wrong?"

Shangguan Ziling turned around and asked in a deep voice, "Who entered the room?"

Qiu Kui hurriedly explained, "Princess, no one can enter your room with the prince except the four of us servants. Even in this Xinling Courtyard, no one else can enter. And there are secret guards in the dark. If it weren't for us servants to serve the princess, we couldn't enter."

Qiu Kui's words were full of surprise and confusion. She didn't understand why Shangguan Ziling asked this question.

Shangguan Ziling frowned even more after hearing Qiu Kui's explanation.

Dong Qing noticed that Shangguan Ziling was acting strange, and asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"

"Do you smell it? There is a very faint fragrance."

Holly and Okra shook their heads.

Shangguan Ziling walked in, went to the window, and gently pushed it open, allowing fresh air to flow into the room.

At the same time, she told Qiu Kui, "Let Chun Xiao and Xia Yu come over. Dong Qing, check the room carefully to see if there is anything unusual."

"Yes".

Today Chunxiao and Xia Yu stayed in the palace and were not allowed to go back together.

After a while, Chunxiao and Xia Yu walked in and bowed, "Princess."

Shangguan Ziling asked directly: "What was placed in the room after I returned home? Why was there a faint fragrance when I came back?"

Chun Xiao and Xia Yu shook their heads in confusion. Chun Xiao said, "Princess, after you left, Xia Yu and I cleaned the room, but nothing was left there!"

Shangguan Ziling returned to the bed and sat down, still feeling a little uneasy. Her sense of smell had always been more sensitive than that of ordinary people. The fragrance she smelled this time made her feel a little unusual. The smell was very faint, so she couldn't tell what it was for a moment.
