The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 488

The moonlight was like water. On this quiet night, Shangguan Ziling gently picked up Xiao Yier, and floated up like a feather, landing steadily on the roof. She sat down gently, holding Xiao Yier in her arms, as if guarding a priceless treasure.

Under the moonlight, Shangguan Ziling's face was as beautiful as a fairy, and her eyes sparkled with the light of maternal love. Little Yi'er nestled in her arms, her innocent eyes sparkling with curiosity and joy.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to have quieted down, leaving only the figures of mother and son, looking particularly gentle under the moonlight.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped onto the roof. Mo Shaoxie gently sat down next to Shangguan Ziling, stretched out his arms naturally, and embraced her and Xiao Yier in his arms.

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly and did not resist. She just continued to tell the story to Xiao Yier in a soft voice.

"A long time ago, there was a brave prince..." Shangguan Ziling's voice was as sweet as a clear spring in a mountain stream. Little Yier was fascinated by it, and a happy smile was on his face.

Mo Shaoxie was also infected by this heartwarming scene. He listened quietly, his eyes moving between the moonlight and Shangguan Ziling's face.

As the story progressed, Shangguan Ziling's voice became softer.

Xiao Yier seemed to sense his mother's emotions. He raised his head and looked at Shangguan Ziling with his clear eyes, as if asking, "Mother?"

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly, gently stroked Xiao Yier's hair, and continued telling the story.

Under the moonlight, the three people on the roof seemed to form a beautiful picture.

Little Yi'er was in Shangguan Ziling's arms, listening to his mother telling stories, with his father beside him. He felt so happy at this moment.

As time passed and it got darker, Xiao Yier listened to Shangguan Ziling's soft story and slowly closed his eyes.

Shangguan Ziling realized that the person in her arms had fallen asleep.

She gently stroked the tender face of Xiao Yi'er in her arms, and seeing that he had fallen asleep, she felt an indescribable tenderness in her heart. She smiled gently, as if the whole world became brighter because of it.

Mo Shaoxie gently helped Shangguan Ziling up, and the two of them jumped down in tacit understanding, landing steadily under the roof. They held Xiao Yier and returned to the warm room.

The next morning, Shangguan Ziling was awakened by a burst of cheerful laughter. She opened her eyes dazedly, and the laughter was as pleasant as a spring. She quickly got up, put on her clothes, opened the door, and the scene in front of her made her eyes light up.

Mo Shaoxie was standing in the yard, holding a long sword, teaching Xiao Yier how to dance with the sword move by move.

Although little Yi'er is young, he learns very well and appears to be very serious in every movement.

Xiao Yuer was standing aside, waving a wooden sword. Her movements were a bit clumsy and she was mostly playing around.

Qiu Kui and Dong Qing came in with hot water. Seeing that Shangguan Ziling had already gotten up, they greeted her softly.

Shangguan Ziling went back to her room, washed up, and sat in front of the bronze mirror, letting Qiu Kui comb her long hair.

Qiu Kui said softly while combing her hair: "Princess, the prince said that the young master has a talent for martial arts, and he has been teaching him swordplay in the yard early in the morning! The little princess is also practicing swordplay beside him, she is so lively and cute."

Shangguan Ziling was delighted when she heard this. She recalled the time when Mo Shao taught Xiao Yuer to practice sword in the abyss.

At that time, Xiao Yuer always became lazy and said she was tired after practicing for a while. Xiao Yuer was only interested in practicing poison, but had no interest in practicing sword or martial arts.

"Back in the abyss, Mo Shaoxie taught Xiao Yu'er to practice sword. Every time the little guy practiced for a while, he would be lazy and say he was tired!" Shangguan Ziling recalled with a smile.

Qiu Kui also smiled. She knew that the princess was reminiscing about that difficult but warm time.

The sword dance in the courtyard continued, the sunlight shone on them, reflecting a warm and beautiful picture.

Shangguan Ziling packed up and walked out.

Shangguan Ziling stood quietly in the courtyard, casting gentle eyes at Xiao Yier and Xiao Yuer who were practicing sword in the yard.

"Xiao Yi'er, Xiao Yu'er." Shangguan Ziling called softly, her voice full of pampering and tenderness.

The two little guys seemed to have heard the call, stopped, put the wooden swords aside, and turned to look at their mother. Their faces could not hide the innocence and liveliness unique to children.

Shangguan Ziling walked forward, gently wiped the sweat off their foreheads, and said with a smile: "You are all sweaty after playing, go wash up and have breakfast."

Xiao Yier and Xiao Yuer nodded obediently, turned around and ran into the house.

Qiu Kui and Dong Qing, two considerate maids, had already prepared hot water. They carefully scrubbed the two young masters to ensure that they were refreshed and comfortable. After a while, Xiao Yier and Xiao Yuer packed up and came to the hall.

Chunxiao and Xiayu had already arranged the breakfast neatly. Exquisite dim sum, sweet porridge, colorful fruits and vegetables... every dish exuded an enticing aroma.

Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie, the loving couple, sat around the table with their two children, enjoying this rare reunion moment.

"Mom, today's breakfast is so delicious!" Xiao Yuer muttered while eating snacks.

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but smile when she heard that. She picked up a piece of dessert and put it in her bowl: "If it tastes good, eat more. This is made by Chunxiao specially for you two little ones."

Mo Shaoxie sat aside, watching his wife and children having fun together, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He gently held Shangguan Ziling's hand and whispered, "Ling'er."

Shangguan Ziling turned her head and met his affectionate gaze, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, the whole hall was filled with warmth and happiness.

After breakfast, Xiao Yier and Xiao Yuer went out to play.

Mo Feng rushed into the hall, his face was pale, his eyes were full of anxiety: "Master, Princess, it's bad, the righteous people of the 'Evil Elimination Alliance' who attacked the Black Cliff Palace have all fallen one after another, some dead and some injured."

When Mo Shaoxie heard this, a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes.

He turned to Shangguan Ziling beside him, and saw that Shangguan Ziling's face also became solemn: "Mo Feng, tell me in detail, what is going on?"

Mo Feng took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement. "Princess, according to the news sent back by the secret guards, the master of the Black Cliff Palace has unfathomable martial arts skills, and is even more powerful than a few years ago. He must have reached a higher level in his evil skills. He fought alone against the heroes, and no one was his opponent. Although the righteous men were brave, they were eventually defeated. Some were killed by him, and some were seriously injured. In short, it was very tragic."

Mo Shaoxie was silent for a moment, then turned to Shangguan Ziling and said, "Ling'er, you stay home and take care of Xiaoyu'er and Xiaoyi'er. I'll take someone to check on them myself."

However, Shangguan Ziling shook her head firmly: "No, I will go with you. I can't let you take risks alone."

Mo Shaoxie looked at her determined eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that his Ling'er could always give him the greatest support at the critical moment. He nodded helplessly: "Okay, let's go together."

Shangguan Ziling turned to Qiu Kui and Dong Qing and said, "You two, you must take good care of Xiao Yuer and Xiao Yier. Especially Xiao Yuer, she has a lot of poison and powder, you must not let her go out and cause trouble."

Okra and Holly nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would do their best to take good care of the two little masters.

However, when Xiaoyuer and Xiaoyier came in, they heard their parents' conversation. Although they were young, they were sensible. When they heard that their parents were going out without them, they both clamored to go.

Shangguan Ziling squatted down and gently stroked Xiaoyu'er's head: "Xiaoyu'er, be good. Mommy and Daddy have important things to do. You and your brother should be obedient at home and wait for mommy to come back and bring you delicious food."

Although Xiao Yuer was a little unwilling, she nodded when she saw her mother's firm eyes. Seeing this, Xiao Yier also stopped making noises obediently.

In this way, Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling led a team of elite soldiers and rushed to the Black Cliff Palace overnight, while Qiu Kui and Dong Qing stayed in the mansion to look after the two little guys.

At this moment, the Black Cliff Palace is a scene of blood and gore. The battle between justice and evil is about to unfold in this land...
