The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Zhuge Wan'er held her cheeks with both hands, her eyes sparkling with infinite yearning for love. She whispered, "Sister Ziling, we were on the way here. You are going to marry the Regent. It's really enviable." Her voice was full of blessings and envy for Shangguan Ziling.

When Dongfang Piaoyi heard the news, his body stiffened instantly, and the movements of his hands also stopped abruptly. He slowly turned his head and stared at Shangguan Ziling with complicated eyes, as if trying to read something from her face. His eyes were deep and blurred, and seemed to hide many unspoken emotions.

Shangguan Ziling smiled gently, with a hint of happiness and satisfaction in her smile. She nodded and said, "Well, you must come to drink a glass of wedding wine when the time comes. You are all my good friends."

"Good friend" Dongfang Piaoyi smiled bitterly, holding the jar of wine and took a few more gulps.

After hearing this, Zhuge Wan'er showed a happy smile on her face. She turned her head and glanced at Dongfang Piaoyi, who was drinking from a jar of wine with a lonely look on his face.

She sighed softly, then refocused her attention on Shangguan Ziling and replied cheerfully, "Okay, okay, we will be there on time."

Dongfang Piaoyi's eyes were as deep as the sea, as if they contained thousands of words. He looked at Shangguan Ziling, with a cynical smile on his face, and said, "Little girl, I specially brought some fine wine that I have treasured for many years. Tonight, let's drink to our heart's content. How about not leaving until we are drunk?"

Shangguan Ziling smiled gently, her smile was elegant and refined, like a newly blossoming lotus. She nodded and said, "Okay, since we are gathering with friends today, we naturally have to drink a lot."

Following Shangguan Ziling's instructions, Chunxiao quickly prepared the dishes. Soon, a table of sumptuous food and wine filled the stone table. The aroma filled the air, making people salivate.

Dongfang Piaoyi held the wine jar, his eyes flickering with a subtle sense of loss, "Come on, little girl, cheers!"

Shangguan Ziling had been drunk twice before, so she knew the alcohol tolerance of this body. She poured a hangover pill from the space and mixed it into the wine glass. She raised her glass gracefully in response.

Zhuge Wan'er also raised her wine glass and gently touched it with Shangguan Ziling's glass in the air, making a crisp sound.

As the wine entered his mouth, Dongfang Piaoyi's face showed an intoxicated expression. He closed his eyes and savored the mellow aroma of the wine, as if he was in a fairyland.

Shangguan Ziling also took a sip of the wine. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was savoring every flavor of the wine.

The three of them chatted with each other, and after three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere gradually heated up.

Dongfang Piaoyi's words began to become casual, sometimes he laughed heartily, sometimes he was affectionate.

Shangguan Ziling and Zhuge Wan'er were talking and laughing nearby, their laughter clear and pleasant, like the sound of a stream in a valley.

Shangguan Ziling had already sent several maids away to rest, leaving Qiu Kui alone by her side, standing quietly.

Dongqing originally wanted to stay, but because her injuries had not yet healed, under Shangguan Ziling's strong request, Dongqing had no choice but to leave and go down to rest.

As night falls, the stars dot the deep sky, and the moonlight sprinkles like water in the exquisite courtyard.

On the stone table, Zhuge Wan'er was already drunk. Her breathing was steady, her face was flushed, and she had a sweet smile on her face, as if she was immersed in a wonderful dream.

There was a deep light flashing in Dongfang Piaoyi's eyes. He looked at Shangguan Ziling quietly, with a playful smile on his lips, "Little girl, I remember that you have a low alcohol tolerance. How come you can drink so much today and are not drunk yet?" There was a hint of playfulness in his tone, as if he was waiting for Shangguan Ziling's answer.

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly, her eyes flickering, deliberately avoiding Dongfang Piaoyi's gaze, "This lady has trained her drinking capacity! I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, haha!" Her laughter was crisp and pleasant, echoing in the night sky like a silver bell.

Of course Shangguan Ziling would not tell him that she took hangover pills.

Dongfang Piaoyi chuckled when he heard this, "Ha! You can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? Then why do I not believe it?"

Shangguan Ziling looked cunning and said with a smile: "Don't believe it? Let's drink and see who gets drunk tonight."

However, at this moment, a strange sound broke the brief silence. A burst of hurried footsteps came from the direction of Jiangziyuan, and then a group of men in black quietly appeared. They held sharp blades and had mysterious veils on their faces, like ghosts from the depths of darkness.

Shangguan Ziling's face suddenly turned cold, her eyes became sharp as knives, staring at the men in black who suddenly appeared, and said, "We can't drink tonight."

Dongfang Piaoyi also noticed the change in the situation. He looked at Shangguan Ziling jokingly and said, "Little girl, look, you are not safe even in your own home. It is better to follow me and be free and unfettered."

Shangguan Ziling ignored Dongfang Piaoyi's words. She calmly analyzed the situation at hand.

There were a large number of men in black, and each of them was very skilled, but they did not alarm the patrolling guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was obviously a carefully planned attack.

"Qiu Kui, protect Wan'er." Shangguan Ziling gave the order decisively, her voice revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Qiu Kui immediately responded. She leaped nimbly to Zhuge Wan'er's side and protected her behind her. She watched the men in black around her vigilantly. At the same time, Qiu Kui launched the flare in her hand.

At this tense moment, her fingers tightly grasped the tail of the flare, her fingertips trembling slightly, but extremely firm.

She took a deep breath, pointed the flare at the sky, and threw it out with all her strength. The flare drew an elegant arc in the air, ignited instantly, and emitted a dazzling light, streaking through the night sky like a meteor across the sky.

The light was colorful, like a flower blooming in the night sky, beautiful and stunning. The light illuminated the entire Crimson Purple Courtyard. The patrolling guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion noticed something unusual and entered the Crimson Purple Courtyard.

Shangguan Ziling rushed towards the black-clothed man like the wind. She was agile and skillfully attacked a black-clothed man, snatched the sword from the black-clothed man's hand, and swung the sword to accurately hit the enemy's vital point.

The patrolling guards rushed over upon hearing the news. The men in black were besieging their eldest daughter Shangguan Ziling like wolves and tigers. The guards did not hesitate and immediately joined the battle, swords drawn against each other.

Dongfang Piaoyi took a big gulp of the wine, then threw the jar of wine to the ground and said, "Little girl, let me help you." After that, he also stepped forward to help.

Shangguan Run and Shangguan Dong heard the noise and hurried to Jiangziyuan.

When Shangguan Zirun saw so many men in black besieging his sister and the situation was critical, he immediately drew his sword and fought with the men in black. His swordsmanship was sharp and every move was fierce.
