The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 446

Beichen Xue sat quietly in the chair and coughed lightly, breaking the silence around her. She smiled awkwardly and said in a slightly joking tone: "Well, Zirun, you and Youyou want to have a child, but you can't rush it. You have to take your time. Your health is the most important thing. You both need to take good care of yourself so that you can welcome the arrival of a new life."

Shangguan Zirun's face turned redder when he heard his mother's words. He lowered his head and said "hmm" in a low voice.

Beichen Xue's gaze turned to Shangguan Ziling who was sitting on the other side.

Beichen Xue smiled and said to Zi Ling: "Zi Ling, you will give birth in about a month. You must take good care of yourself during this time and prepare a midwife and other things you need."

Shangguan Ziling nodded gently and replied, "Mom, don't worry. Mo Shaoxie had already arranged everything before we came back."

Beichen Xue couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard Shangguan Ziling's words. She knew that Mo Shaoxie was a careful and thoughtful person. The fact that he prepared these things so carefully was enough to prove that he was full of deep love for Ziling and the unborn child.

Shangguan Dong said: "Okay, Madam, let's go back. Zi Ling has just returned, so let her have a good rest."

Beichen Xue said: "That's right, Suqi, you should come with us to Shangguan Mansion and let Zirun take you around the capital."

"Okay! Aunt."

The group left the Regent's Palace. Shangguan Ziling put away her smile and her face was covered by dark clouds, showing that she was in a bad mood.

Although her steps were steady, each one seemed to carry a heavy heart, causing the maids following behind her to look at each other in bewilderment, secretly wondering what had happened to the princess.

Back in the bedroom, Shangguan Ziling waved her hand to let the maids leave, and lay on the small couch alone.

Thinking of the scene when she first saw her brother, Shangguan Ziling's heart felt like being stabbed by needles.

She clearly saw that her brother's eyes, which had once been as bright as stars, were now pitch black, as if swallowed by endless darkness.

His steps were unsteady, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. Such signs of excessive indulgence made Shangguan Ziling feel heartbroken.

She didn't understand why her brother, who was once such a handsome and high-spirited man, had fallen to such a state?

"Yun Youyou, what do you want?" Shangguan Ziling murmured to herself. Do you really want to put your brother in an irretrievable situation? Are you happy only when he is completely ruined?

The little fat man in the space noticed Shangguan Ziling's mood and comforted her: "Master, don't think too much. It takes two to tango. They are willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. What's the point of you being anxious?"

Shangguan Ziling frowned. There was still time for her brother to recuperate. As she thought about it, Shangguan Ziling lay down on the small couch and took a nap.

As Shangguan Zirun entered the mansion, a clever maid came to greet him. Her voice was filled with urgency and importance: "Master, the mistress told you to return home, go back immediately."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zirun couldn't help but glance at Bei Suqi beside him.

The latter seemed to see his distress, smiled and waved his hand, "Cousin, if you have something to do, go and do it, don't worry about me."

These considerate words made Shangguan Zirun feel very embarrassed. He nodded and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I'll go and take a look first." After that, he hurried to his yard.

As soon as she entered the yard, Shangguan Zirun felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual.

Yun Youyou rushed over like a gust of wind, and the servants in the yard lowered their heads one after another, apparently they were no longer surprised by this.

Shangguan Zirun looked at Yun Youyou's enthusiasm somewhat helplessly and whispered, "Youyou, don't be like this."

"What? Do you dislike me?" Yun Youyou's eyes suddenly turned red, as if she had suffered great injustice.

Shangguan Zirun helplessly picked her up horizontally, went back to the room and closed the door.

"No, no." Shangguan Zirun hurriedly coaxed. He felt a little headache, but more of it was helplessness and fatigue towards Yun Youyou.

He reached out and gently held Yun Youyou's hand, trying to calm her down.

However, Yun Youyou did not calm down as he wished. She still clung to him tightly and even began to tear his clothes.

Shangguan Zirun felt a panic in his heart. He suddenly remembered what Shangguan Ziling had just said: "Excessive indulgence is harmful to your body." These words echoed in his mind again and again, making his face turn red and he felt embarrassed.

He tightly grasped Yun Youyou's hand, trying to stop her from moving any further. "Youyou, don't do this, it's still broad daylight." His voice was serious and earnest.

Yun Youyou seemed not to hear and continued her pestering. "I don't care, I want it, I want to get pregnant as soon as possible!" Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was full of determination and persistence.

Shangguan Zirun looked at her with mixed feelings. He knew Yun Youyou's desire and her anxiety. But he knew more clearly that their relationship needed more communication and understanding.

He took a deep breath, hugged Yun Youyou, and walked to the bed. He felt really tired. Would Youyou be able to return to the way she was before if she had a child?

The curtains were drawn, blocking out the spring scene on the bed.

After finishing, Shangguan Zirun stood up slowly and tiredly. He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and left the room like a zombie.

Yun Youyou called out softly a few times from the bed, but Shangguan Zirun seemed not to hear her. He did not stop but continued to move forward.

Shangguan Zirun walked through the winding corridors and passed by the garden full of flowers.

The flowers in the garden swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance, as if telling something. However, his mind was in a mess and he could not calm down to appreciate the beauty.

At this moment, Bei Suqi saw him in the pavilion. A hint of teasing flashed in her eyes, and she called out, "Cousin."

Shangguan Zirun looked up and saw the familiar figure of Bei Suqi. He walked over, his steps unsteady, as if he would fall down at any moment.

Bei Suqi looked at him and joked, "You kid, you just came back in broad daylight and... cough! Your cousin told me that excessive indulgence is harmful to your body. You have to be careful." There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but his eyes revealed concern for his cousin.

Shangguan Zirun heard what she said, sighed, felt bitter and smiled bitterly.

Bei Suqi looked at him, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Cousin, life is short. It's right to enjoy life while you can, but you also need to know how to be moderate."
