The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 323

Yun Youyou was sitting on a stone bench, her hands gently caressing her slightly bulging belly. Her face was lightly flushed, her eyes sparkled with the radiance of maternal love, as if the whole world had become gentle because of her happiness.

Her heart was filled with anticipation and joy, and she couldn't believe that there was a new life growing in her belly.

This little life is the fruit of her and her beloved brother Zirun, and is the continuation of their love.

Whenever she thought of this, a warm feeling would surge in her heart, making her feel extremely happy and satisfied.

Beichen Xue sat beside her, looking at her intoxicated look with a smile on her face. She whispered, "Youyou, why are you touching your belly all the time? You didn't eat anything just now. I'll ask the kitchen to stew a bowl of Tremella and lotus seeds soup for you."

Soon the kitchen brought out the Tremella and lotus seed soup.

Yun Youyou turned her head and looked at Beichen Xue, her eyes full of tenderness and affection, "Mother, do you think the baby in your belly is a son or a daughter?" she asked softly, with a hint of expectation in her voice.

Beichen Xue couldn't help but laugh after hearing her words, "Silly child, when the baby is a little older, Zi Ling will be able to take his pulse. Besides, mother will like it no matter it is a granddaughter or a grandson, so you just need to take good care of the baby now." Although her words were plain, the doting and joy in her eyes were obvious.

Yun Youyou listened to her and nodded, but she still couldn't help but imagine what the little life looked like.

At this moment, Shangguan Ziling put a little spiritual spring water in the Tremella and lotus seed soup and handed it over, "Sister-in-law, come, drink some Tremella and lotus seed soup. Don't be hungry, otherwise my brother will be sad when he comes back." She said softly and handed the bowl to Yun Youyou.

Yun Youyou took the bowl with a slightly red face, thanked quietly, and then drank it in small sips. Hmm, it tasted good, and she didn't feel nauseous or like vomiting.

Shangguan Ziling sat beside her, looking at her sweet look, and couldn't help feeling a little funny in her heart.

"By the way, Ziling." Yun Youyou suddenly said, "Who do you think the little life in my belly will look like?" Her words were full of anticipation and curiosity.

Shangguan Ziling was stunned after hearing her words, then looked at Yun Youyou, with a mischievous light flashing in her eyes, "Sister-in-law Youyou, huh? She (he) is still a little piece of meat now. It will take three months for the baby to grow facial features. Don't be so anxious and think too much. You will know after the baby is born, right?" She said with a smile, causing Yun Youyou and Beichen Xue to laugh out loud.

Amidst the laughter, it seemed as if even the air was filled with the scent of happiness and joy, and Yun Youyou's heart was also filled with expectations and longings for the future.

She knew that no matter who this little life would look like, it would be the pride and hope of her and her loved ones.

At this time, the secret guard of the Regent's Palace suddenly appeared, knelt in front of Shangguan Ziling, and said: "Princess, the prince has returned."

After the secret guard finished speaking, he bowed and quickly disappeared.

Shangguan Ziling frowned. Before she could even ask a question, Shangguan Ziling felt an indescribable uneasiness in her heart.

Mo Shaoxie is back, but he doesn't come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick her up? This is not like his style. Did something happen? Thinking of this, Shangguan Ziling stood up suddenly.

Yun Youyou and Beichen Xue were both frightened by her actions. Yun Youyou said, "Zi Ling, your prince has returned to the palace. Why are you so excited?"

Beichen Xue also smiled and said, "Zi Ling, there must be a reason why the prince didn't come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick you up. You can't get angry with the prince just because he didn't come to pick you up. Do you hear me?"

"Okay, I understand, mother. I'll go back first." After Shangguan Ziling finished speaking, she couldn't wait to leave.

Yun Youyou and Beichen Xue both looked at Shangguan Ziling's hurriedly leaving back, and sighed that she and the prince had a good relationship. They had only not seen each other for one night, but Beichen Xue and Yun Youyou could not wait to look at each other.

Beichen Xue smiled and said, "Seeing you two so loving, I, as a mother, feel very happy."

Yun Youyou held Beichenxue's hand and said, "Mother, I saw Zi Ling left in a panic just now. Is there anything wrong?"

"No way!"

"Maybe I saw it wrong."

"Ok".

After Shangguan Ziling left the Prime Minister's Mansion, she got on a carriage and headed for the Regent's Palace. Shangguan Ziling urged, "Okra and Holly, hurry up."

"Yes".

Chunxiao and Xia Yu sat aside. Chunxiao said, "Don't worry, Princess. The Prime Minister's Mansion and the Regent's Mansion are not far away. It won't take long to go back."

Shangguan Ziling closed her eyes and said "hmm" lightly.

Chunxiao and Xia Yu looked at each other, and seeing that Shangguan Ziling was not in a good mood, they both became quiet.

The little fat boy in the space said: "Master, your man is so capable, how could anything happen to him? Don't worry, you will know when you go back."

Shangguan Ziling responded, "Little Fatty, I feel very uneasy. I know Mo Shaoxie. He said he would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick me up, and he would definitely come. He returned to the Regent's Mansion and didn't come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick me up. It doesn't make sense. Unless he is really injured now, and it's not light, why wouldn't he come to pick me up?"

The little fat boy didn't know what to say. The male owner doted on him very much. Even if he was injured, he would come to pick him up. If he didn't come, it might be as the owner thought, that he was in a bad condition now, but it was also possible that he was delayed by other things.

The secret guard didn't explain the situation just now. Shangguan Ziling was secretly angry with the secret guard.

In fact, the secret guards were just following orders. Mo Feng asked them to deliver the news about their master to the princess and not to reveal the master's situation, for fear that it would be leaked and known to people with ulterior motives.

Mo Feng knew that as long as the princess knew that her master had returned, she would definitely come back.

The fact is just as Shangguan Ziling guessed, something has happened to Mo Shaoxie and the situation is very bad now.

The Shangguan Mansion's carriage sped along the quiet street, and the people on the road panicked and gave way. However, when the carriage turned into a remote alley, it was suddenly interrupted by a tense atmosphere.

A group of men in black came from all directions and quickly stopped the carriage in the alley. They were holding sharp weapons and had cold eyes, and were obviously well-trained killers.

"Whoa--" Dongqing gave an order, pulled the horse, and stopped the carriage steadily.

Holly and Okra stared at the men in black opposite them vigilantly. At the same time, their hands were silently on the weapons at their waists, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The secret guards in the dark also appeared one after another, surrounded the carriage, and looked at the man in black vigilantly.

Inside the carriage, Shangguan Ziling noticed something strange outside and opened her sharp eyes quickly.

Chunxiao and Xia Yu didn't know what was going on and looked confused.

Shangguan Ziling said to Chunxiao and Xia Yu, "Stay in the carriage obediently. No matter what happens outside, don't go out."

Although Chunxiao and Xia Yu were full of doubts and uneasiness, they still nodded obediently and hid in the corner of the carriage as instructed.

Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath, then lifted the heavy curtain of the carriage and walked out.

She glanced at the black-clad men surrounding the carriage and frowned. Were they here to kill her? Or to stop her from returning to the Regent's Palace? Or both.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in Shangguan Ziling's voice.

However, the man in black did not answer her question, but launched an attack directly.

The sword light was like water, and the chill was overwhelming. For a moment, the entire alley was shrouded in sword energy.
