The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 320

Mo Shaoxie's chest rose and fell slightly, indicating that he was still asleep.

Shangguan Ziling's small hand brushed across Mo Shaoxie's face intentionally or unintentionally. Her movements were light and gentle, as if she was afraid to disturb his sweet dreams.

However, her little hands seemed to have magical powers, which gradually dissipated Mo Shaoxie's sleepiness.

Suddenly, Mo Shaoxie's eyes snapped open, and he held Shangguan Ziling's hand with his backhand, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. "Ling'er, what are you doing? Are you trying to seduce me?" His voice was deep and magnetic, causing Shangguan Ziling's cheeks to blush involuntarily.

Shangguan Ziling widened her eyes slightly, looking at Mo Shaoxie's half-smile, and a feeling of sweetness and shyness surged in her heart. "Who... who seduced you, hum!" She said coquettishly, trying to break free from Mo Shaoxie's restraints, but her little hand was held tightly by him, making her unable to move.

Seeing this, Mo Shaoxie couldn't help but chuckle and looked at the sky outside. "Ling'er," his words were full of pampering and indulgence, "Okay, since you woke me up, let's get up and have lunch!"

After hearing what Mo Shaoxie said, Shangguan Ziling gently broke free from Mo Shaoxie's hand and said, "Hmm," her voice was as thin as a mosquito and almost inaudible.

They got up from the bed, put on their clothes and washed up.

Shangguan Ziling suddenly stretched out her hands and hugged Mo Shaoxie's waist tightly. "Mo Shaoxie, I seem to love you more and more." Her voice still had a bit of coquettishness, but it could no longer cover up her inner feelings.

Mo Shaoxie's mouth curled up, he gently stroked her hair and whispered: "Ling'er, this king is the same, I will always be with you and protect you forever."

When Shangguan Ziling heard Mo Shaoxie's oath, the sweetness and happiness in her heart surged like a tide. She raised her head and looked at Mo Shaoxie's affectionate and determined eyes, and her defenses completely collapsed. "Me... Me too, Mo Shaoxie." Although her voice was weak, it was enough to express her true feelings.

When Mo Shaoxie heard this, the joy and satisfaction in his heart exploded in his mind like fireworks. He lowered his head and kissed Shangguan Ziling's lips, which made him deeply intoxicated.

After a while, Mo Shaoxie let her go, took her hand and walked out of the room, toward the hall, and the two had lunch together.

The afternoon sun shines through the delicate bamboo curtains and fills the entire courtyard of the Regent's Palace.

Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling had just finished lunch, and he seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

At this time, a secret guard quietly walked up to him and whispered a few words.

Mo Shaoxie frowned slightly and was silent for a moment. Then, he turned his head and looked at Shangguan Ziling who was sitting opposite him. "Ling'er, I have something urgent to deal with, so I may have to leave for a while." There was a hint of apology and concern in his voice.

Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows slightly, and looking at Mo Shaoxie's serious expression, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable worry in her heart. "Okay, go and do your thing." She said softly, "If you need my help, just ask."

Mo Shaoxie felt a warm current in his heart after hearing Shangguan Ziling's words. "Well," he said with a smile, "Ling'er will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion later. I can't go back with you. I will come to take Ling'er home after I finish my business."

Shangguan Ziling nodded and said, "It's okay, just go ahead and do your thing."

Mo Shaoxie looked at Shangguan Ziling deeply before leaving.

As soon as Mo Shaoxie left, Shangguan Ziling packed up, took the gifts, and left the Regent's Palace with her four maids and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the prosperous Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Beichen Xue sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a book in her hand and reading attentively. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves on her body, covering her with a layer of golden halo.

At this time, Shangguan Ziling walked in quietly. She was wearing an elegant emerald green dress, and the hem of the dress swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming cloud. Her long hair was like a waterfall, casually tied behind her head, and a few strands of hair gently fell on her cheeks, adding a bit of playfulness to her.

"Mother." Shangguan Ziling called softly. Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the singing of birds in the early morning.

Beichen Xue raised her head and saw Shangguan Ziling, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Ling'er, you're here." She said with a smile.

"Ok".

Beichen Xue looked at her and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She smiled and shook her head, "You're already married, and you always come back. Will the Regent be unhappy?"

Before Shangguan Ziling could reply, Yun Youyou, who had just heard the news, immediately said, "Mother, the Regent King would never say anything about Ziling. He doesn't even love Ziling as much as she does!"

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Mother... Sister-in-law is right! How dare he say that about me? Humph!" She said with a smile, "I came here specially to accompany mother today."

"Zi Ling, have you heard? A headless corpse was found hanging at the gate of Shuntian Mansion yesterday." Yun Youyou interrupted, "I was also on my way out today. When I passed by Shuntian Mansion, I heard people talking about it. They said that a headless corpse appeared at the gate of Shuntian Mansion last night."

"Headless corpse?"

Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue looked at Yun Youyou at the same time. Yun Youyou scratched her head and said, "Mother, Ziling, I also heard about it, but I don't know what's going on."

Shangguan Ziling kept repeating, "Headless corpse? Headless corpse?" She couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in her heart, "What on earth is going on?"

The three of them sat together and began to discuss the case of the headless corpse.

They all had serious expressions on their faces as they analyzed one by one what was going on with this headless corpse.

Shangguan Ziling said: "Dongqing, go check and find out what happened to the headless corpse in Shuntian Mansion last night?"

"Yes." Dongqing immediately turned and left after hearing that.

Yun Youyou propped her chin up with both hands and said, "Zi Ling, why do you think the murderer would hang the body at the gate of Shuntian Prefecture? Is this a provocation to the government?"

Shangguan Ziling shook her head, she didn't know either.

Beichen Xue suddenly asked, "Zi Ling, where is the prince?"

Shangguan Ziling said: "He is busy with something."

Yun Youyou exclaimed: "Could it be that the Regent has gone to investigate the headless corpse?"

Beichen Xue looked at Shangguan Ziling, and Shangguan Ziling shook her head and said, "He said he had something to deal with, and I didn't ask much. He said he would come to pick me up in the evening, and I'll know when I ask him."

Shangguan Ziling added: "Mother, it may take some time before I can accompany you back to the North."
