The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

The queen was in the inner room, her face was pale, her brows were furrowed, and she was obviously worried about something. She gently rubbed her temples with her hands, as if to relieve the discomfort caused by the headache.

Seeing this, Nanny Wang immediately stepped forward to massage the queen's head. Her technique was skillful and gentle, as if it could dispel all the queen's worries. While massaging, she comforted her, "Queen, don't be angry. The fifth princess is still young and doesn't understand."

After hearing this, the queen closed her eyes and sighed deeply. Her voice was dull and powerful, revealing her inner dissatisfaction and anger: "What kind of children did I give birth to? They are so in love with each other every day. I am so angry."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang immediately advised, "Empress, the Fifth Princess is still sitting in the hall crying. You have always doted on her, but now the Fifth Princess is crying like a tearful person. It makes me feel heartbroken when I see her." As she spoke, her eyes revealed her love for the Fifth Princess.

After hearing this, the queen slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes revealed a complex emotion, including helplessness and disappointment towards her children.

Nanny Wang asked again, "Why doesn't the Queen help the Fifth Princess?"

Upon hearing this, the Queen looked up at Nanny Wang with a questioning look in her eyes. Nanny Wang immediately explained, "Your Highness, think about it. If the Fifth Princess marries into the Regent's Palace, wouldn't that pull the Regent into the Crown Prince's party? In this way, how can the First Prince and his men fight against the Crown Prince from behind?"

The Queen's expression changed slightly, and she seemed to be touched by Nanny Wang's idea. However, she quickly shook her head and said in a deep voice: "How can Mo Shaoxie be so easy to control? Even the Emperor is afraid of him. Besides, if he has that ambition, wouldn't it be worse?"

After hearing this, Nanny Wang immediately understood the Queen's worries. She knew Mo Shaoxie's identity and strength, and also knew how much of a threat he posed to the imperial power. Therefore, she did not continue to persuade the Queen, but stood aside silently, waiting for the Queen's decision.

The queen fell into deep thought, her brows knitted, her eyes deep and worried. She remembered her brother's worries and plans. Her brother always thought that Mo Shaoxie would be an obstacle to the crown prince's future ascension to the throne, and he did not hesitate to send assassins to assassinate Mo Shaoxie, which she agreed with. She understood her brother's worries. After all, Mo Shaoxie's identity and strength were enough to pose a threat to the imperial power.

At the same time, she also knew the emperor's attitude towards Mo Shaoxie. The emperor also could not tolerate Mo Shaoxie and had been looking for an opportunity to get rid of him. This hostile relationship made it even more impossible for the queen to marry Wanting to the Regent's Palace.

The queen rubbed her forehead with a headache, her movements seemed a little tired and weak. She was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Finally, the queen spoke: "Please leave. I will be quiet. Send the fifth princess back to her own palace and have someone watch her. Do not let her come out at will."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang immediately withdrew. She turned around and left with steady and calm steps.

Jun Wanting was forcibly sent back to her own palace, and the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart completely erupted at this moment. She was like a trapped beast, raging in her own palace, crying and making a fuss.

Her eyes were red and swollen, tears kept flowing out, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the floor with a crisp sound. Her hands were clenched into fists, her knuckles turned white from excessive force, as if she was venting her inner resentment and dissatisfaction.

She kicked and hit everything around her, tables, chairs, china, vases... everything was smashed into pieces under her anger. Her screams echoed throughout the palace.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace all knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and were at a loss. No one dared to step forward to comfort her, and could only watch from afar, fearing that their lives would be affected.

Jun Wanting's crying lasted for a long time until she was exhausted and collapsed on the ground, then she slowly calmed down. Her tears had dried up, leaving only empty eyes and a tired body. She looked at the corner of the palace, her heart filled with endless sadness and despair.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and a quiet and warm atmosphere filled the Prime Minister's Mansion. Shangguan Ziling and his father and brother sat around the dining table, enjoying a sumptuous dinner. The table was filled with a variety of delicacies, steaming hot and fragrant.

Shangguan Dong looked at his children in front of him, his heart filled with emotion. He put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, and said with a slightly sad tone: "Time flies so fast, Zi Ling will soon get married. If your mother knew about this, she would definitely be very happy."

Shangguan Ziling's mood suddenly became heavy when she heard her father mention her mother. She put down her chopsticks, looked up at Shangguan Dong, and said firmly, "Dad, I'm getting married soon. I want to go burn incense for my mother and tell her the good news."

Shangguan Dong heard this, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. His daughter had never gone to burn incense for the lady except when she was a child, and he was quite relieved when she mentioned it today.

Shangguan Zirun, who was standing by, also said, "Father, I will go with my sister. That way you won't have to worry about her. I will take good care of her. I also want to go burn incense for my mother and tell her the good news."

After hearing this, Shangguan Dong sighed softly and said, "Hey, you brothers and sisters are thoughtful, go ahead!"

After dinner, Shangguan Ziling was on her way back to Jiangziyuan. The night was dim, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, reflecting her long figure.

"Little Fatty, what kind of person is the original owner's mother?" Shangguan Ziling suddenly asked.

"How would the master baby know?" responded the little fat boy.

Shangguan Ziling didn't really want the fat boy to answer, she just felt a little regretful.

Shangguan Ziling sighed softly.

She decided to ask her brother about their mother when they went to worship their mother the day after tomorrow.

She hopes to get closer to her mother, a relative she has never met, by learning about her mother's life and stories.

Shangguan Ziling was walking with a heavy heart. She was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice the figure in front of her at all. When she got closer, she almost bumped into him before she reacted. She raised her head and saw Mo Shaoxie. She blinked and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Mo Shaoxie hugged her, and in a few moments, they were back in the Jiangzi Courtyard, Shangguan Ziling's room. His movements were swift and smooth, as if he was carrying her through the night like a gust of wind.

After entering the room, Mo Shaoxie hugged her tightly and walked to the table and sat down on the chair. He let Shangguan Ziling sit on his lap and looked down at her with deep eyes. His eyes were full of concern and warmth.

"What was Ling'er thinking about just now? Why did she look so worried?" Mo Shaoxie asked softly.
