The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 321

"Zi Ling, I can actually go back to the North Country by myself first." Bei Chenxue's voice was a little weak, but full of determination. "So many years have passed, I should go back and take a look."

Shangguan Ziling was sitting opposite her. When she heard Beichen Xue's words, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of worry. "Mother, how can you say that?" She frowned and said, "How can we rest assured if you go back alone?"

Yun Youyou also echoed, "Yes, mother, not only Zi Ling is worried about you going back alone, but even Zirun and I are worried!" Her eyes were gleaming with worry, "Mother, I haven't been to the North Country yet. When the time comes, our family will go back to the North Country together, and I can see the scenery of the North Country too."

Beichen Xue looked at them, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. "I know you are worried about me." She said softly, "But mother has her own considerations. After so many years, I should go back and take a look. Besides, I also have some things to deal with."

Shangguan Ziling and Yun Youyou looked at each other, and saw a hint of determination in each other's eyes. "Mother, we can't let you take risks alone." Shangguan Ziling said, "We will always be by your side and face anything together."

Yun Youyou also nodded in agreement. "Yes, mother, we can't let you take risks alone." She said.

Beichenxue looked at their determined eyes and was touched. She knew that her children had grown up and had their own ideas and persistence. "Okay," she finally nodded, "Mom will wait."

Shangguan Ziling and Yun Youyou smiled relaxedly when they heard Beichen Xue's agreement. "Well, mother won't wait long," Shangguan Ziling said.

Several people gathered together again and began to discuss the case of the headless corpse curiously.

Shangguan Ziling said in a deep voice, "Only if Shuntian Prefecture finds the key clues can we uncover the truth of this case."

Yun Youyou also nodded in agreement. She said, "We can start with the identities of those headless corpses and investigate their backgrounds and identities to see if we can find some breakthroughs. I wonder how the investigation in Shuntian Prefecture is going?"

Beichen Xue nodded after hearing what they said. "What you said makes sense, but isn't the case being investigated by Shuntian Prefecture? Why are you so interested?"

Yun Youyou chuckled and said, "Mother, it's been a long time since we heard of such a bizarre case in the capital. I'm very curious."

Beichen Xue shook her head helplessly.

After a while, Dongqing came back, bowed and said, "Princess, Lord Pang, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, is investigating. The identity of the headless corpse has not been found yet, and there has been no progress in the case."

Shangguan Ziling frowned and muttered, "Who hung the body at the gate of Shuntian Mansion? Why did they do that?"

Dongqing shook her head and said, "Princess, I haven't found any useful clues."

Shangguan Ziling said: "Back off!"

Yes” Holly stepped aside.

Yun Youyou said: "Zi Ling, do you think the murderer has a grudge against Mr. Pang of Shuntian Mansion? He deliberately hung the body in front of the gate of Shuntian Mansion. Otherwise, it is really hard to understand."

Shangguan Ziling spread her hands and also felt that this case was a bit strange.

Night gradually falls, the stars are twinkling and the moonlight is like water.

The lights were bright in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was dinner time, but Mo Shaoxie still hadn't come to pick up Shangguan Ziling. Shangguan Ziling felt a little uneasy. Shangguan Dong asked, "Ziling, does the Regent want to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion for dinner tonight?"

Shangguan Ziling said, "Father, don't wait for him. Maybe he's delayed by something. Come back later so we can have dinner!"

Shangguan Dong nodded and said, "Then let's eat first!"

Shangguan Ziling had dinner absentmindedly and returned to her own courtyard, the Jiangzi Courtyard.

Shangguan Ziling lay on the couch, staring out the window. Mo Shaoxie said he would come to the Prime Minister's Residence tonight to pick her up! Why hasn't he come yet at this hour? Has something happened?

The little fat boy in the space said: "Master, the male master is so powerful, what can happen to you? You, stop thinking about it."

Shangguan Ziling said: "I don't know where he is going. I feel a little uneasy."

The little fat boy snorted and said, "Master, do you women just like to overthink things? The male master is so powerful, if anything happens to him, it's just other people's bad luck, okay? I don't know why you're so worried."

Shangguan Ziling said: "Oh! Yes! When did I become unlike myself? Maybe when there is someone I really care about, I will become unlike myself!"

The little fat girl didn't know what to say to comfort her master and fell silent.

Shangguan Ziling was lying quietly on the small couch by the window at this moment. Her face was as beautiful as a flower and her eyes were as deep as a lake, as if they could attract people's souls and make them fall deeply into them.

She was wearing a lavender long dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on it, which made her look more elegant, but at this moment she was frowning.

Before they knew it, it was already late at night. The lights in Shangguan Mansion gradually went out, and the entire mansion was immersed in silence.

Shangguan Ziling still maintained her previous posture, but her mind had already drifted elsewhere.

"Why haven't you come to pick me up yet?" She was secretly anxious, playing with an exquisite jade hairpin in her hand unconsciously. Her intuition told her that tonight's events were not that simple. Although she didn't know what Mo Shaoxie was doing, she felt uneasy.

"Princess, what are you thinking about?" A gentle voice suddenly sounded, pulling her back from her thoughts. She looked up and saw Chun Xiao walking in with a plate of exquisite pastries.

"Nothing." Shangguan Ziling forced a smile, "I'm not hungry. It's so late, you guys should go to bed!"

Chun Xiao saw that her mind was not here, so he sighed softly, put the cakes on the table, and then advised softly: "Princess, you should go to bed early. The prince must have been delayed tonight and cannot come, so you don't have to wait."

Shangguan Ziling smiled bitterly after hearing her words. She knew Chunxiao's intentions, but she just couldn't control her thoughts. She opened the window and let the night wind gently brush her cheeks.

Shangguan Ziling said softly, "Well, I am a little sleepy. It is time to rest."

She stood up, walked to the bed, and lay down gently.

The bed was covered with a soft quilt, which also exuded a faint fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy. She closed her eyes, trying to put all her worries behind her and fall asleep peacefully.

However, she was always thinking about Mo Shaoxie in her heart. She didn't know where he was or what he was doing. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
