Chapter 389
Shangguan Ziling said: "Cousin."
Bei Yuanqi looked at Shangguan Ziling and said, "Cousin, you just came to the Northern Kingdom and don't know the situation here. As soon as you arrived, you became the princess of King Lingxiao. King Lingxiao is very narrow-minded. He will definitely not let you go, so it is safer for you to stay in the palace."
"Uncle, cousin, King Lingxiao is so arrogant and powerful, why doesn't uncle suppress him?" Shangguan Ziling's tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and worry.
Bei Tianwei sat aside, his eyes deep and tired. After listening to Shangguan Ziling's words, he sighed and said, "This Lingxiao King relies on the fact that he is a sworn brother to your grandfather, controls most of the military power in the Northern Kingdom, and wins over many court officials in the court. He doesn't take me seriously at all."
"Uncle, are we just going to sit here and wait to die?" Shangguan Ziling asked.
Bei Tianwei shook his head and said, "No, we can't just sit there and wait for death. But our situation is not optimistic now. We need to find a suitable opportunity to defeat King Ling Xiao in one fell swoop."
"Prince Li has arrived!" a eunuch's sharp voice rang out.
Shangguan Ziling saw a middle-aged man walking towards her, and his face looked somewhat similar to her uncle.
"Haha, I heard that our niece beat up King Lingxiao's princess in the street as soon as she arrived. It was so satisfying." A rough voice sounded.
Bei Tianli strode over, bowed to the emperor, and looked at Shangguan Ziling with sparkling eyes.
Beichen Xue murmured, "Second brother!"
Bei Tianli looked over and said, "You still remember that you have a second brother like me? Back then, you left without hesitation, it was really cool!"
Shangguan Ziling blinked and said, "Second uncle, you can't blame mother. Mother was always being hunted down back then..."
"What?" Several grown men said in unison, looking at Shangguan Ziling at the same time.
Shangguan Ziling told them what happened to Beichen Xue.
After hearing this, everyone was furious. No wonder they couldn’t find Beichen Xue!
Shangguan Ziling said: "Uncle, second uncle, cousin, don't be angry. I will personally avenge my mother."
Bei Tianwei frowned and said, "Nonsense, Ziling, don't act on impulse. I am afraid of the snobbery in King Lingxiao's hands. Your second uncle and I will take care of your mother's revenge. You, a little girl, should not get involved."
Bei Tianli also said: "Yes, that's right, just play with your cousins. Your cousin is married, and I will ask someone to ask her to come to the palace to play with you tomorrow."
After several people persuaded her, Shangguan Ziling had no choice but to agree obediently on the surface. She also knew that her uncle and others were doing it for her own good, but she would not let King Ling Xiao go.
Bei Tianli looked at Shangguan Ziling and said with pity: "Ziling, I heard from Qi'er that you are already married to the Regent of the Dongyue Dynasty? Alas! What a pity, that brat in my family is unlucky, otherwise we could have become closer relatives. By the way, didn't your husband come with you to the North Country?"
Bei Yuanqi said: "Second uncle, the Dongyue Dynasty is at war with Xiliang and Nanchu. You don't need to think about it to know that as the regent of the Dongyue Dynasty, I definitely can't accompany my cousin to the Northern Kingdom at this time!"
Bei Tianli slapped Bei Yuanqi on the forehead with one hand, "You little brat, I asked you a question?"
Bei Yuanqi covered his forehead with his hands, moved his lips but said nothing. His second uncle was really something and didn't give him any face at all. He had completely ruined his image in front of his cousin.
Shangguan Ziling felt very warm watching their interaction. This was what family was like. There was no alienation in terms of status. She liked this kind of atmosphere.
Shangguan Ziling said: "Second uncle, Mo Shaoxie couldn't come with us this time. He will come again when the Dongyue Dynasty is at peace."
Bei Tianli nodded. They also learned the news that the Dongyue Dynasty and the two countries had a border war.
Shangguan Ziling yawned, looking a little tired.
Beichen Xue said with concern: "Zi Ling, do you want to take a rest? You are a double body now."
After Beichen Xue finished speaking, several men looked at Shangguan Ziling.
Bei Yuanqi was shocked and asked, "Cousin, are you pregnant?"
Shangguan Ziling smiled and nodded, saying: "Well, it has been more than three months."
Bei Yuanqi was shocked and said: "Ah? More than three months? You have been traveling for almost three months. Cousin, it must have been hard along the way. Fortunately, you are okay."
Shangguan Ziling smiled and said, "Cousin, I am an excellent doctor, of course I will be fine."
Shangguan Ziling stroked her belly, which was not yet bulging, with a look of happiness on her face.
Bei Tianwei said in a deep voice: "Then Zi Ling, go and have a rest. We will talk again at dinner time. You have come all the way here and it must be hard, not to mention that you are pregnant!!"
Shangguan Ziling nodded. She was indeed feeling a little sleepy.
Bei Tianwei asked the palace maid to take Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue all the way to Xueyuan Palace.
Xueyuan Palace is the palace where Beichen Xue used to live.
Beichen Xue looked at Xueyuan Palace with deep emotion. Not a single brick or tile here had changed at all, and it was still exactly the same as before.
The palace maid bent down and said respectfully: "Someone has been cleaning here all the time. The emperor does not intend for anyone to touch it at all. Everything remains as it is, waiting for the princess to come back and live here."
Beichenxue nodded and said, "You guys leave!"
"Yes"
Beichen Xue took Shangguan Ziling to the bedroom and said, "Ziling, rest here for a while."
Shangguan Ziling took Beichen Xue's hand and said coquettishly: "Mom, we have been traveling for such a long time, and I am tired. Let's sleep together for a while. It's still early."
"Mom wants to wait until Zi Ling falls asleep, then go to your grandfather's place and take care of him," Beichen Xue said.
Shangguan Ziling curled her lips and said, "Mom! As long as I'm here, grandpa will be fine. Don't worry. Get enough rest now. When grandpa wakes up, he will feel bad if he sees you depressed."
Beichen Xue tapped Shangguan Ziling's nose and said with a smile: "Okay, mother will sleep with you for a while. I really can't argue with you."
Shangguan Ziling smiled mischievously, and the two of them lay on the bed. Shangguan Ziling asked Beichen Xue about her past in the Northern Country.
Beichen Xue told Shangguan Ziling about her life in the North. Shangguan Ziling seemed alert at first, but slowly fell asleep.
Beichen Xue watched Shangguan Ziling fall asleep, then fell silent and caressed Shangguan Ziling's face lovingly.
Beichen Xue felt distressed when she saw Shangguan Ziling's tired appearance. Her daughter was pregnant, yet she still traveled a long distance with her to come to the North Country, although Ziling kept emphasizing that she was fine.
But a normal person would be tired if rushing on the road, let alone Zi Ling who was pregnant. She knew that Zi Ling was very sensible. She didn't say anything even though she was tired, and she just kept rushing on the road. Beichen Xue felt so distressed.
