The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 403

Shangguan Ziling was busy in the space for a long time and refined many precious medicines.

After working for a while, Shangguan Ziling felt a little tired. She gently rubbed her temples, slowly walked out of the space, and returned to the warm and comfortable room.

Lying in bed, she seemed to be able to hear the sound of snowflakes falling outside the window. The sound was soft and peaceful, like the sound of nature. In such an atmosphere, Shangguan Ziling soon fell asleep and slept soundly and deeply.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the bed, bringing a hint of warmth to the room. Shangguan Ziling woke up slowly, stretched, and felt refreshed.

At this time, Bei Yuan Ling's cheerful voice came from outside the door: "Cousin Zi Ling, are you awake? I'm here to see you!"

Shangguan Ziling smiled and stood up, opening the door to welcome her second cousin. Beiyuan Ling was wearing a pink dress and a delicate jade hairpin on her head, looking gentle and lovely. As soon as she entered the door, she took Shangguan Ziling's hand and said, "Cousin Ziling, you are already three months old, and I, as your cousin, have not yet married. Oh, yesterday my mother asked me to go to her palace and scolded me, and also told me to find a husband." Beiyuan Ling gently touched her belly.

Shangguan Ziling asked softly, "Does Second Cousin have someone she likes?"

Bei Yuan Ling shook her head: "No, that's why mother is anxious. I'm not anxious. If I want to play with someone, I should find someone who shares the same feelings as me and whom I like."

The snowflakes were still falling outside the window, but inside the house there was a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

It was not until the evening that the two went to Beiyi Palace. Tonight was New Year's Eve, and the palace was brightly lit and bustling.

The emperor specially held a grand New Year's Eve banquet and invited all the ministers and royal relatives to celebrate the coming of the new year. The emperor and the empress sat on the high throne, their faces filled with joyful smiles, and they enjoyed themselves with everyone.

"Today is New Year's Eve. I celebrate the festival with all the nobles. May our dynasty prosper and our people live and work in peace and contentment." The emperor raised his glass to greet everyone, his voice loud and majestic.

Everyone stood up, raised their glasses in response, and laughed happily.

King Ling Xiao sat in the lower seat, but his face was grim. His warehouse was recently robbed, and he suffered heavy losses, and nothing was found, which made him feel terrible.

He glanced unintentionally and saw Shangguan Ziling sitting not far away. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. Looking at her eyes and figure, King Lingxiao felt that her figure was familiar, very much like the woman who broke into his palace that night.

He pondered in his heart and looked for an opportunity to test it out.

At this time, there was singing and dancing, and the dancers in the palace walked onto the stage and began to perform.

The dancer leading the dance was even more graceful and moving, like a fairy from heaven. Everyone was mesmerized and praised her endlessly.

King Lingxiao had no intention of appreciating it, his eyes lingered on Shangguan Ziling from time to time.

The little fat man in the space said: "Master, is this King Lingxiao suspicious of you? He is observing you from time to time."

Shangguan Ziling said lazily: "So what if I doubt you? We must get rid of him tonight!"

"Master, are you sure?"

"Ok!"

"Zi Ling, you have just returned to the North. Let your cousins ​​take you to visit the scenery of the North and have some fun," the queen said to Shangguan Zi Ling with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ziling stood up, bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, Ziling also wants to see more of the scenery of the North and have some fun. Thank you, Your Majesty."

The queen nodded.

The banquet continued and the ministers raised their glasses to express their blessings.

Finally, when the banquet was about to end, Shangguan Ziling whispered a few words to a palace maid and left the palace.

The palace maid whispered a few words in front of King Lingxiao, and King Lingxiao followed her out.

On New Year's Eve, the palace was brightly lit, but outside the bright lights, a quiet pavilion seemed particularly lonely. Shangguan Ziling sat alone in the pavilion, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She looked up at the night sky and saw heavy snow, each snowflake was like an elf sprinkled from the sky, falling quietly, yet with an indescribable beauty.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps broke the silence of the night. King Lingxiao slowly walked into the pavilion, his eyes as sharp as a knife, falling directly on Shangguan Ziling. He asked in a deep voice: "What did you just ask the maid to say? What do you mean?"

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly and pointed to the stone bench opposite, "King Lingxiao, please take a seat, let's chat."

King Lingxiao sat down opposite, his eyes deep and complicated.

Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath and began to talk about that distant world - the modern world. She described the prosperity of the high-rise buildings, the hustle and bustle of the traffic, and everything she was once familiar with. Her words were full of nostalgia and yearning, which made King Lingxiao intoxicated.

"Modern..." Shangguan Ziling's voice echoed in the night sky. Her words stopped abruptly, and her eyes were fixed on King Lingxiao opposite her.

King Ling Xiao's body trembled slightly, his eyes flashing with excitement, "You, you are also from the modern era?"

Shangguan Ziling nodded, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

King Lingxiao stood up excitedly and stared at Shangguan Ziling opposite him, not missing a single bit of her expression. "Do you have any way to go back?" His voice was low and trembling, full of longing for that world.

Shangguan Ziling was stunned when she heard this. She looked at King Lingxiao's excited expression and felt very puzzled.

"You want to go back to the modern era? Can you give up the wealth and glory here?" Shangguan Ziling's voice was full of doubt.

King Lingxiao sneered, waved his sleeves and sat down, "If I want that position, do you think your uncle can still sit there safely?" His words were full of disdain and ridicule.

Shangguan Ziling's expression turned cold. She looked at King Lingxiao deeply and asked, "Why have you been hunting my mother for so many years?"

King Lingxiao said slowly, "You are talking about Beichen Xue. It's just because of Xiaoyao Sect. Ye Feng saved my life when I first came here. He loves your mother, but your mother is very cold to him. He expressed his love to your mother, but your mother rejected him again and again. He turned his love into hatred, and he found me, and asked me to help him get rid of Xiaoyao Sect and hunt down Beichen Xue based on the favor we showed him in the past."

Shangguan Ziling was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect it to be like this?

Shangguan Ziling said coldly: "Why should I believe what you say?"

King Ling Xiao had some madness in his eyes, and said, "Haha, do I have to lie to you? You and I come from the same place, and I have been here for thirty-five years, a full thirty-five years, do you know that?

I am a PhD student from a wealthy family, but I accidentally fell while climbing a mountain. When I woke up, I came to this hellish place. Over the past 35 years, I have relied on modern knowledge to move towards the pinnacle of power, but I am the only son in the family! I have always wanted to go back to see my family."
