The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 140 It’s Not That Yet

Shangguan Ziling sat quietly in front of the mirror, her eyes like deep lake water, quietly reflecting Mo Yu's figure. After listening to Mo Yu's story, she spoke softly, her voice soft and clear: "I understand, you can go back."

Mo Yu stood aside, her figure upright and dignified. After hearing Shangguan Ziling's words, she paused slightly, then raised her head, looked at Shangguan Ziling deeply, then quickly lowered her head and replied respectfully: "I will take my leave."

As she finished her words, she turned and walked out of the room.

The little fat boy said angrily in the space: "Master, this damn prince is so disgusting."

"No, master, it's their royal family that is so disgusting."

Shangguan Ziling sat in front of the window, her eyes like the brightest stars in the night sky, flashing with wisdom and determination. Her eyes fell on Qiu Kui and Dong Qing beside her.

"Didn't those assassins recognize me?" Shangguan Ziling spoke slowly, her voice calm and powerful.

Dong Qing stood aside, her face expressionless. Hearing Shangguan Ziling's question, she immediately replied respectfully: "Don't worry, Miss, those assassins who saw your face are dead." Her tone revealed a hint of coldness and decisiveness.

"No wonder." Shangguan Ziling murmured softly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the study, and then the butler hurried over, with a trace of anxiety and tension on his face.

He walked quickly to Shangguan Dong, bowed his head and reported respectfully: "Master, the Crown Prince has come, the eldest young master is accompanying him in the hall, and the Crown Prince wants to see the eldest young lady."

Shangguan Dong frowned upon hearing this, and a look of dissatisfaction and irritation appeared on his face. He said in a deep voice: "Go to Jiangziyuan to inform Zi Ling and tell her not to come out." There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Dong strode towards the hall.

"Yes." Immediately a servant went to the Crimson Purple Courtyard.

The entire study fell into a brief silence, with only the fading footsteps of Shangguan Dong and the housekeeper echoing in the air.

The moment Shangguan Dong walked into the hall, Jun Yaotian's eyes immediately focused on him. He looked at Shangguan Dong expectantly, as if looking for a familiar figure. However, when he found that there was no one behind Shangguan Dong, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly, revealing a trace of loss that was difficult to conceal.

Shangguan Dong keenly noticed Jun Yaotian's emotional changes, but he did not say much. He just bowed respectfully and said, "This old minister greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." His voice was loud and steady, showing the majesty and composure of a senior prime minister.

Jun Yaotian smiled slightly and responded politely: "Prime Minister, there is no need to be so polite. This prince has come here uninvited because he wants to see Zi Ling and talk to her." His tone was relaxed and friendly, as if there was no barrier between him and Shangguan Dong at all.

However, Shangguan Dong was not moved by Jun Yaotian's politeness. He knew that Jun Yaotian's purpose of coming here was not simple, so he said in a deep voice: "Men and women should not touch each other. My daughter has been engaged to the Regent. It is inappropriate for the prince to see Zi Ling." His tone was firm and decisive.

Jun Yaotian's face changed slightly when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect Shangguan Dong to reject his request so directly.

Jun Yaotian was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "This prince wants to explain it to Zi Ling in person. Zi Ling liked this prince before, and the Prime Minister should know that. Zi Ling must be throwing a tantrum and blames this prince for ignoring her before. The Prime Minister also knows that the Regent is cold-blooded and ruthless, so how could he be good to Zi Ling? Would the Prime Minister be willing to let Zi Ling suffer in the Regent's Mansion?"

The Shangguan father and son stood aside, Shangguan Dong's brows were furrowed, and Shangguan Zirun's eyes flashed with worry. Both of them chose to remain silent and didn't say anything more.

What the father and son want is for Zi Ling to marry you. That would be the real suffering, and the imperial palace would be the one that eats people without leaving any bones. Compared with the regent, the father and son would rather Zi Ling marry the regent's palace than you, the prince!

At the same time, in the Crimson Purple Courtyard, Shangguan Ziling was sitting in front of the mirror, her face grim, and when she heard the servant coming to report that Jun Yaotian wanted to see her, she couldn't help but sneer. She stood up, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xia Yu at the side couldn't help but dissuade her: "Miss, what are you doing? Didn't the master tell you not to go out?" Her tone was full of worry and concern.

Shangguan Ziling waved her hands nonchalantly and said nonchalantly: "I'll go take a look, it's okay."

Chun Xiao, who was listening at the side, couldn't help but say worriedly, "Miss, you are not still harboring illusions about... the Crown Prince, are you?" She didn't finish her words, but the implication was enough to make people think deeply.

Shangguan Ziling heard this and looked back at Chunxiao, a trace of displeasure flashing in her eyes. She waved her hand and said decisively, "Absolutely impossible." Her tone revealed a sense of determination and decisiveness.

Chunxiao was shocked when he heard that, and then heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't the case. She was just afraid that the young lady would be as confused as before.

After saying that, Shangguan Ziling turned around and strode towards the front hall. Her figure left a graceful silhouette in the corridor.

Chun Xiao and Xia Yu followed closely behind, their faces full of worry and uneasiness. They knew that Shangguan Ziling had been obsessed with the Crown Prince in the past, so they were still not at ease, so they followed behind silently.

Qiu Kui and Dong Qing were relatively calm. After going out, they firmly believed that the eldest lady and the prince were in love with each other, and the eldest lady would not have any thoughts about the prince. Qiu Kui watched Chun Xiao and Xia Yu follow the eldest lady, while she and Dong Qing stayed.

Shangguan Ziling had already begun thinking about how to deal with this prince whom she hated.

Inside the space, a chubby-looking child was conversing attentively with Shangguan Ziling. The child's face was innocent and cute, but the words he said made people's backs cold.

"Master, why don't you give him a handful of poison to send him to death, so that he won't disgust you." The little fat boy waved his chubby little hands and suggested seriously.

Shangguan Ziling was speechless when she heard this. She glared at the fat boy and sighed helplessly, "Little Fatty, he is the crown prince. If he dies, I'm afraid the Prime Minister's Mansion will have a hard time."

"Master, don't you have a colorless and odorless poison? Just put it down quietly and don't let him get into trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion." The little fat boy blinked his big eyes and asked curiously. There was no fear or hesitation on his face, as if in his opinion, killing was just a normal thing.

Shangguan Ziling was stunned when she heard this. She stared at the fat boy with wide eyes in astonishment. She didn't expect that this seemingly innocent little guy would come up with such a vicious suggestion. She took a deep breath, trying to calm down the shock and anger in her heart, and then slowly said: "Well, it's not that far yet."

The little fat man in the space seemed a little disappointed when he heard this. He lowered his head, silently playing with the corner of his clothes, and said no more.
