The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 58: When you are unlucky, even drinking cold water will cause your teeth to get stuck

Shangguan Zirun gently touched Shangguan Ziling's head and said: "Sister has really grown up and become sensible now."

Shangguan Zirun withdrew his hand and walked away from the Jiangzi Courtyard.

Shangguan Ziling looked at her brother's back. If he knew that his sister was dead and she was a soul from another world that occupied his sister's body, would he still be so gentle to her?

"Master, don't have any random thoughts. You and this body have become one now. You are his sister."

"Okay, little fatty, I get it."

Shangguan Ziling stopped thinking about it and went back to the room. She picked some poisonous herbs from the space. These were the ones she had transplanted into the space during the previous hunt.

Shangguan Ziling frowned, and when she had time, she would go out to find more herbs, and transplant them into the space for planting. This way, if she needed any herbs in the future, the space would have them, which would save her a lot of trouble.

Shangguan Ziling took out the herbs and processed them in the yard.

Xia Yu said: "Miss, let me help you."

Shangguan Ziling glanced at Xia Yu and said: "Don't touch them, these grasses are poisonous."

"Ah!" Xia Yu screamed in fright, took a few steps back, and looked at Shangguan Ziling fiddling with these poisonous plants with a frightened face.

"Miss, is it poisonous? Then why did you touch it?" Chunxiao asked worriedly.

"I know medical skills, so of course I'm not afraid. I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Xia Yu muttered, "Miss, what are you doing with these poisonous weeds?"

"Naturally useful."

Shangguan Ziling looked at the sky and saw that it was already late, so she said, "Chunxiao, tell Dad and brother that I will not have dinner with them tonight, and ask them not to wait for me."

"Oh, I'll go right away."

Shangguan Ziling dealt with the poisonous weeds and stretched herself. It was already dark.

Shangguan Ziling collected these poisonous herbs and put them in the house to prevent the maids in the Jiangzi Courtyard from touching them and causing poisoning.

Xia Yu brought in a basin of hot water and placed it on the shelf: "Miss, come and wash your hands, the food is ready."

"Um"

Shangguan Ziling came over, washed up, had dinner, and went to bed early.

The next morning, Shangguan Ziling had just finished her breakfast when Matron Li, the housekeeper of the Crimson Purple Courtyard, walked in and said respectfully, "Miss, all the things that were moved back from the West Courtyard yesterday have been placed in the Crimson Purple Courtyard warehouse."

Shangguan Ziling said: "I am uncomfortable looking at the things used by the mother and daughter, so please take them out and pawn them!"

"Yes, I will do it right away. By the way, the master has sealed the west courtyard. He said that all things in the west courtyard should be handed over to the eldest lady."

"It's up to you. If you can't make up your mind, ask the housekeeper."

"Yes"

Chunxiao watched Nanny Li leave and said, "Miss, I heard from the maids in the mansion that the second young lady was sent away yesterday and kept insulting the eldest young lady. The master was very angry and said that the second young lady could only return to the mansion when she reformed, otherwise she would have to stay in the farm forever."

Xia Yu said from the side: "It's her fault. It's the second lady who insulted the eldest lady."

Shangguan Ziling didn't care. Shangguan Jiaoyun was just being tough verbally. She didn't take Shangguan Jiaoyun seriously at all. She should have experienced what it meant to be worse than death last night!

Shangguan Ziling rested for a while and continued to exercise in the yard.

After Shangguan Dong left the court, he went straight to the Jiangzi Courtyard. Shangguan Ziling wiped the sweat off his face, walked over and said, "Daddy."

"Well, what is Zi Ling doing that makes her sweat all over?"

"Dad, I'm just exercising." Shangguan Ziling looked at her cheap dad who looked worried and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey! Ziling, you've just gotten better, don't get too tired."

"Dad, what happened this morning?"

"I don't know what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently. His last injury hasn't healed yet, and he fell in the East Palace last night and broke his waist. The Emperor was very angry and punished many eunuchs and maids in the East Palace." After Shangguan Dong finished speaking, he glanced at his daughter's expression.

Shangguan Ziling said indifferently: "As the saying goes, when a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will make his teeth ache. The prince must have been plagued by bad luck recently!"

"Zi Ling, do you really not like the Crown Prince?"

Shangguan Ziling nodded and said "hmm".

Shangguan Dong felt relieved, but then he thought of the Regent his son had mentioned to him, and his heart became anxious again.

Shangguan Dong asked tentatively: "What does Zi Ling think of the Regent?"

Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows. Her father went through so much trouble just to ask about her and the Regent. Shangguan Ziling felt warm in her heart. It was so nice to be cared for and loved by her family.

Shangguan Ziling told Shangguan Dong everything in detail. Shangguan Dong looked at Shangguan Ziling, hesitant to speak. Who is the Regent? He is pursuing his daughter now, maybe it's just a whim. What if...

Shangguan Ziling spent a lot of time talking and repeatedly assured that she would not suffer any loss.

Shangguan Dong then left Jiangziyuan with a heavy heart.

Shangguan Ziling sat on the rattan chair and held her forehead with her hand. It seemed that the Regent's name was well-known. Her father and brother were worried about her and the Regent, so she shouldn't have told her brother.

However, they will know about this kind of thing sooner or later. Forget it, it’s better to know it earlier, so that daddy doesn’t have to worry about her marriage all day and look for partners for her everywhere.

Shangguan Ziling started to fiddle with her poisonous weeds again. The weather was good today, so Shangguan Ziling prepared the poisonous weeds and put them in the yard to dry. She then lay on the swing in the yard, closed her eyes and rested, feeling very comfortable.

Chunxiao was sewing a shoulder bag for Shangguan Ziling according to the drawing she had given her.

In the Regent's Mansion, Mo Shaoxie looked at Min Yoongi, who was lying on the bed with a weak face, and asked coldly: "What's going on?"

Min Yoongi said weakly: "Your Highness, the prefect of Jiangnan privately withheld tax salt and allowed people to smuggle and sell it. After I got the account book, I was chased all the way to a farm not far from the capital. When I was fighting with a manor in black, I suddenly felt weak all over and fell down. Fortunately, I was escorted back by the secret guards."

Le Wenshu frowned and said: "The governor of Jiangnan is really brave."

Le Wenshu added: "The prefect of Jiangnan has already found out who is guilty of the crime against the eldest prince. In order to escape the crime, the eldest prince will definitely distance himself from the prefect of Jiangnan and force him to confess his guilt."

Xiao Zijin said: "The question is how did they find the people from the Nan family? And cooperate with them? Even if there were some people from the Nan family who escaped the net and were not all killed, they should have hated the royal family. How could they help him?"

Mo Shaoxie said in a cold voice: "Give the account book to the prince's people, and send someone else to investigate. The person who can poison, no matter if he is one of the Nan family members who escaped the net that year, will be killed on the spot after being found."

"Yes" a figure suddenly appeared and disappeared in an instant.

Mo Shaoxie said calmly: "Get well before going back."

"Um"

Le Wenshu looked at Mo Shaoxie's back as he left and said, "The prince is becoming more and more humane now. It seems that love can really change a person!"

Xiao Zijin smiled and said: "Oh, the prince has been plagued by bad luck recently. The prince asked someone to hand over the account books to the prince's people. I guess the prince will have to be carried to the morning court tomorrow even if he has to be carried by others."

"That's not necessarily true. The prince will send his men to fight, but they may not go. After all, he is still injured." Le Wenshu shook his head.

"You all know the Crown Prince. This time he has caught the eldest prince's flaws. I wonder how proud he is that he will even personally take credit for it to the Emperor!" Xiao Zijin looked at Min Yoongi who lay weak on the bed and said, "You've suffered a lot this time. Have a good rest."

Le Wenshu also said: "Yongqi, you really scared us this time. You should take good care of yourself. We have grown up together. You went south to do things for the prince this time. You have suffered a lot. Take a good rest."

"Yes, when you recover, we will have a few drinks together, and then we will leave first. You can have a good rest." Xiao Zijin also nodded.

"Ok".
