The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 487

Xiao Yuer clapped her hands happily and said, "You deserve it. You bad woman, you scolded my mother and wanted to kill me. I'll kill you."

On the other side, at the celebration banquet

Qiu Kui whispered in Shangguan Ziling's ear, her voice filled with anxiety: "Princess, someone just saw the little princess leaving with the third princess."

Shangguan Ziling's eyes shone when she heard this. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and the figure named Jun Wanting flashed through her mind.

Shangguan Ziling had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she said to herself: "Jun Wanting, you'd better not have any bad intentions, otherwise..."

At this time, Mo Yi looked around, but could not see his sister. He pulled Shangguan Ziling's sleeve, his eyes full of confusion: "Mother, where is my sister? Where did she go?"

Shangguan Ziling gently stroked Mo Yi's head, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath, took Xiao Yi'er's hand and came to Mo Shaoxie, and told Mo Shaoxie that Xiao Yu'er was taken away by Jun Wanting.

Mo Shaoxie's face instantly turned cold when he heard this. His eyes were like knives, as if they could penetrate the palace walls and look directly into the deep palace.

The emperor, who was sitting on the throne, also noticed that something was wrong with Mo Shaoxie. He frowned, and his eyes moved between Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling. Finally, he asked, "Regent, what happened?"

Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath and told the emperor the whole story.

The emperor's brows furrowed more and more. He knew Jun Wanting's character very well and couldn't help but worry about the safety of the little princess. He immediately ordered: "Come here, go find the little princess quickly!"

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense. The disappearance of the little princess was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The night was as dark as ink, and the glazed tiles of the imperial palace glowed with a faint cold light under the moonlight.

The Royal Guards shuttled back and forth between the palace walls like ghosts; their footsteps echoed in the empty courtyard, breaking the tranquility of the night.

However, their search was as fruitless as a headless fly, and the little princess seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Mo Shaoxie's face was darker than the night. His brows were filled with worry and anger, and his eyes were shining with sharp light like cold stars. He clenched his fists, as if he wanted to crush all his anxiety in his hard palms.

Shangguan Ziling, this clever woman, was also deeply worried at this moment. She stood beside Mo Shaoxie, gently smoothing his frown with her slender fingers, trying to soothe his irritability with her tenderness. However, her action did not seem to have much effect, and Mo Shaoxie's face was still as cold as frost.

At the celebration banquet, the originally lively atmosphere has now become depressing and heavy.

Everyone felt the coldness emanating from the Regent. They dared not speak out and could only pray silently that the little princess would return safely.

As the night grew darker, the lights in the palace gradually went out, leaving only a few lonely lamps swaying in the cold wind.

The Royal Guards' search still yielded no results; they had no idea where the Third Princess had hidden the little princess.

During this long night, everyone in the palace was waiting for the little princess' return. The emperor had ordered that no one could leave until the little princess was found.

The palace maids searched everywhere but could not find her. At this moment, Shangguan Ziling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought of a place that was easily overlooked - the cold palace.

She hurriedly informed the regent Mo Shaoxie of this discovery. Hearing this, Mo Shaoxie frowned, picked up Xiao Yier with one hand, held Shangguan Ziling with the other, and strode out of the hall.

Seeing this, the emperor and everyone at the celebration banquet followed them.

The group hurried to the cold palace, only to hear bursts of crying and laughing sounds coming from inside.

Shangguan Ziling's heart suddenly sank, and she quickly walked into the cold palace, only to see Jun Wanting, the master and the servant, lying on the ground, crying and laughing, in a miserable state. Their bodies and faces were covered with scratches, and they were still scratching.

In the messy scene, a little person was sitting on a worn-out chair, safe and sound, with a smile on his face. It was the missing Xiaoyuer!

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw this scene, thinking: "I really worried for nothing."

When Xiao Yuer saw her parents coming, she immediately ran over happily and threw herself into Shangguan Ziling's arms. "Daddy, Mommy!" she called sweetly.

Shangguan Ziling gently patted her little butt and said in feigned anger: "I let you run around, do you know that your mother is worried about you?"

Xiao Yuer pursed her lips in grievance and called out, "Mother~" Her voice was so soft that Shangguan Ziling's heart softened instantly.

"Will you run around again in the future?" Shangguan Ziling asked softly.

Xiao Yuer shook her head and complained aggrievedly: "Mother, it was this bad woman who tricked me here. She also wanted to kill me and scolded mother." As she spoke, she pointed at Jun Wanting on the ground.

Mo Shaoxie's eyes instantly turned cold when he heard this. He glanced at Jun Wanting and her servants lying on the ground and said coldly, "You dare to kill my daughter? You're courting death!"

Mo Shaoxie hit her with a palm, and Jun Wanting screamed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "The third princess Jun Wanting plotted to murder the young princess and will be demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the Sky Prison!" As soon as he finished speaking, the guards came forward and dragged Jun Wanting away.

Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie hugged Xiao Yuer and Xiao Yier tightly and left the palace.

This incident happened at the celebration banquet. As the Regent and his family left, the Emperor also announced the end of the celebration banquet and asked everyone else to leave the palace.

On the way back, Xiao Yuer fell asleep in Shangguan Ziling's arms.

Shangguan Ziling was very helpless and whispered: "This little girl is so naughty. She actually left secretly and made us worry for nothing. But she is sleeping soundly now."

Mo Shaoxie held Xiao Yier in his arms, and Xiao Yier put her little hands around Mo Shaoxie's neck, "Daddy, mommy, Xiao Yier will look after my sister from now on and won't let her run around. Daddy, mommy, don't blame my sister."

Shangguan Ziling smiled when she heard that and said, "Xiao Yi'er, you are too well-behaved. You are still young, don't always act like an adult. Now that your parents are back, you can act like a sister and act coquettishly and play around."

Xiao Yier nodded in Mo Shaoxie's arms.

Mo Shaoxie touched his son's little head, and the family of four got on the carriage.

Return to the Regent's Palace

Shangguan Ziling took off Xiao Yuer's shoes and socks, gently placed her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then left the room.

Shangguan Ziling held Xiao Yier in her arms and asked, "Are you sleepy, Xiao Yier?"

Xiao Yier shook his head and said, "Mom, Xiao Yier is not sleepy yet."

"Then mother will tell Xiao Yi'er a story. Does Xiao Yi'er want to listen?"

"Okay, Xiao Yier wants to listen to mother tell stories."
