The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

After Shangguan Ziling figured it out, she stopped worrying about it and decided to follow her heart.

Because she found that she seemed to have fallen in love with this man, but she couldn't let him know, otherwise he would become more aggressive.

Shangguan Ziling touched his forehead, his face heating up uncontrollably. He thought to himself that he was useless. After all, he was once a feared figure on the killer rankings. How could he be so cowardly now?

Shangguan Ziling sat up, took a deep breath, and patted her cheeks gently to calm herself down.

It was already late at night. Shangguan Ziling yawned and just closed her eyes to fall asleep when suddenly, a slight sound made her alert in an instant. She opened her eyes sharply, quickly got up and hid behind the bed.

I watched two masked men grope their way into the room, come to the bed, and start chopping at the quilt.

The two men looked at each other, and a man in black came forward and lifted the quilt, but there was no one there.

The silver needle in Shangguan Ziling's hand flew out. The two men in black sensed the danger. One of them dodged with a knife, and the other swung out a palm with one hand and stabbed Shangguan Ziling with a sword in the other.

Shangguan Ziling rolled on the ground to avoid the two men in black who quickly attacked her. The powder in her sleeves sprinkled on the two men in black like flowers.

The two men in black quickly retreated, and some powder still fell on their clothes. "Hold your breath, it's poisonous." After saying this, he quickly sealed several acupuncture points on himself.

Shangguan Ziling snorted softly and said disdainfully: "My poison is not effective if you hold your breath. If it touches your clothes, you will die. Tell me who sent you. Maybe I will be in a good mood and give you the antidote." But Shangguan Ziling underestimated the internal strength of the ancients.

A man in black had a dangerous look in his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Take money from people and do things for them."

They didn't expect that their assassins' pavilion had sent out two assassination attempts against a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion but failed to complete the task. This time, they sent out the fifteenth and fourteenth ranked assassins from their pavilion. They also thought that killing a young lady was just a waste of their talents and asking them to take action. But they didn't expect that a young lady from a rich family would be able to use poison and have such good skills.

"Let's do it together, get started, and make quick decisions."

The silver needle in Shangguan Ziling's hand shot rapidly towards the man in black opposite, and the man in black felt as if he was bitten by something.

I saw a figure passing by and instantly came behind a man in black. Just as the man in black was about to make a move, he heard a "click" and instantly the man in black fell down limply, his eyes still wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.

The man in black who had just spoken didn't react at all. Seeing his companion die in front of him, he was furious and hit Shangguan Ziling with a palm.

Shangguan Ziling rolled backwards and dodged. Just as she was about to approach the man in black, he seemed to have sensed her intention and did not give her a chance to get close to her, and kept attacking her with his internal force.

Shangguan Ziling could only dodge in a panic and occasionally launch sneak attacks with silver needles.

However, the man in black was like a madman, and he hit Shangguan Ziling regardless of anything. The "bang bang" sound in the room soon attracted the attention of other people in Jiangziyuan.

Seeing this, the man in black no longer cared about the poison. He untied the acupuncture points in his body and attacked with all his strength. Shangguan Ziling was hit instantly. His body flew out of the room uncontrollably and fell on the ground in the yard with a bang. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood with a "wow".

"Ah, Miss." Chun Xiao and Xia Yu watched Shangguan Ziling fly out of the room and fall to the ground.

All the maids and servants in the Jiangzi Courtyard were startled by the voices of Chunxiao and Xia Yu. They all came to the courtyard and were frightened when they saw this scene.

"Someone come, there is an assassin, the eldest lady is injured," Nanny Qin shouted loudly.

The man in black also staggered out at this time, covered in blood and with a painful expression. This was because he had unblocked the acupuncture points in his body, and the poison instantly attacked his heart. The attack just now was an attack that he had gathered all his strength into.

Chunxiao put his hands in front of Shangguan Ziling and watched tremblingly as the man in black walked towards him step by step with a sword in his hand.

Xia Yu took off his coat and shakily put it on Shangguan Ziling. He hugged Shangguan Ziling and couldn't stop trembling. With tears in his eyes, he called out: "Miss..."

At this time, Shangguan Ziling was so weak that she couldn't speak. She didn't expect this man to be so powerful, with this damn internal strength. She secretly swore in her heart that after her injury healed this time, she would learn the internal strength of the ancients, otherwise, if she met such a master, she would be at a great disadvantage.

Nanny Qin and all the maids from the Jiangzi Courtyard stood in front of Shangguan Ziling.

Just then, the patrolling guards arrived.

The man in black was taken down in just a few moves.

"Miss, Miss has fainted."

"What's going on?" Shangguan Dong heard the noise and Shanshan rushed over.

Shangguan Zirun who was behind also hurried over.

"There was an assassin. The assassin injured the young lady and she fainted," Xia Yu cried.

Shangguan Zirun immediately stepped forward, picked up Shangguan Ziling, and called softly: "Sister?"

Shangguan Dong looked at Shangguan Ziling's pale little face and felt very distressed. He immediately said: "Lin Jian, hurry up and go to Han Mansion and ask Han Imperial Physician to come."

"Yes"

Shangguan Zirun carried Shangguan Ziling into the next room and carefully placed her on the bed.

Shangguan Dong asked all the maids and servants in the Jiangzi Courtyard to leave, leaving only Chunxiao and Xia Yu.

"Where is the assassin? Bring him here," Shangguan Dong said angrily.

The patrol captain Lin Ye said: "Master, the assassin is dead."

"what happened?"

"I don't know either. When I heard the noise and came to Jiangziyuan, the eldest lady was already injured. Not long after we captured the assassin, he vomited blood and died. The assassin must have died of poisoning. His lips were blue-purple and the blood he vomited was black. There was another corpse in the room whose neck was broken."

Shangguan Dong pondered for a while and said: "Don't make this matter public. See if the assassin has anything to prove his identity."

"no".

"Take the body downstairs and deal with it."

"Yes"

Shangguan Dong looked at Chun Xiao and Xia Yu and said, "You two are Zi Ling's personal servants. Where were you before Zi Ling got into trouble?"

Chunxiao choked up and said: "Miss, please don't ask us to keep watch all night. Let us go to rest."

After Shangguan Zirun came out, he said with a grim look: "Please get some hot water for the young lady to wash and then change her clothes."

"Yes, young master."

"Father, things have already happened. There's no point blaming the two maids. If they were still here, they would probably be the same as Zi Ling."

"How is your sister? I'll go see."

Shangguan Zirun pulled Shangguan Dong's sleeve. Shangguan Dong turned around to look at his son, his lips trembling.

"Father, don't be anxious. My sister has suffered serious internal injuries. She is still unconscious. I see blood on her clothes. Ask her personal maid to clean her and change her clothes."

After hearing this, Shangguan Dong sat down on the stone bench in the yard.

Shangguan Dong punched the stone table and said angrily: "Who on earth wants to harm your sister in the middle of the night?"

Shangguan Dong repeated to Shangguan Zirun what Lin Ye had told him.

"Broken neck? Death by poisoning? My sister has been studying medicine recently, so it is understandable that she poisoned the other assassin, but who broke the neck of the other assassin? My sister? She is a weak woman, how could she be a match for the assassin."

Shangguan Dong also didn't understand. His son had told him that his daughter was studying medicine, but he thought it was just a whim.
