The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 234

After saying goodbye to the abbot, the group set out on their journey down the mountain.

They passed through dense woods, followed the winding mountain road, and finally arrived at Chiyou County.

It was already dark and the streets were crowded with people.

The hawkers displayed all kinds of goods, and their calls could be heard one after another.

The troupe's acrobats gave wonderful performances in the streets and alleys, attracting many spectators to stop and watch.

The group came to Chi Fei Restaurant and were attracted by the prosperous scene of the restaurant.

The restaurant was brightly lit and packed with guests. They were led to a private room and ordered the restaurant's signature dishes.

The dishes were served one after another, and each one was delicious and mouth-watering.

Shangguan Ziling particularly likes the restaurant's signature dish - drunken pork ribs.

She picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks, took a light bite, and immediately felt the tenderness of the meat and the rich aroma of wine.

She couldn't help but exclaimed: "This drunken pork ribs is so delicious!"

Mo Shaoxie raised his eyebrows as he watched her enjoying the food.

They tasted various delicacies, and Shangguan Ziling enjoyed the meal very much. Her face was filled with a happy smile, which made people feel her inner satisfaction and happiness.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Mo Shaoxie put his arm around Shangguan Ziling's waist and the two of them strolled in the night.

The streets are bustling with people and the various snack stalls are crowded with people and filled with aromas.

Shangguan Ziling's eyes sparkled with excitement as she pulled Mo Shaoxie to a stall selling candied haws. She picked out a few strings of brightly colored candied haws.

Then we went to a small pastry shop and bought a few boxes of exquisite pastries.

She also bought some small items, such as hand-embroidered handkerchiefs, small ceramic bowls, etc.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her happy expression and was happy to hang out with her.

The two walked around for a long time until Shangguan Ziling felt a little tired.

Shangguan Ziling leaned on Mo Shaoxie's shoulder and said softly, "Mo Shaoxie, I'm a little tired. Let's find an inn to rest."

Mo Shaoxie nodded, picked up Shangguan Ziling, and took her to the inn to book a room. The room was clean and tidy, and the decoration was very warm. The two of them lay on the bed, enjoying a moment of peace and comfort.

Shangguan Ziling closed her eyes and felt the warmth and breath of Mo Shaoxie.

Her heart was filled with gratitude and happiness, knowing how lucky she was to have such a caring partner.

She gently held Mo Shaoxie's hand and silently made a wish in her heart, hoping that their future would always be so happy.

Inside the Summer Resort, the night was dim and the moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, casting mottled shadows. At this time, the sounds of clashing weapons and fighting outside stopped.

The blood dyed the ground outside the Summer Resort red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

A guard rushed in, his face covered in blood and his clothes in tatters. He knelt before the emperor and reported in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, General Yun took advantage of the night and broke through the encirclement with a few imperial guards."

The emperor was delighted when he heard this.

The ministers were also delighted. If General Yun broke through the encirclement, there would be reinforcements. As long as they

He had been worried that the rebels would take advantage of the opportunity to launch a night attack, and now he was relieved to hear that General Yun had broken through the encirclement. He asked, "What's the situation outside now?"

The guard replied: "It is getting dark now, and the rebels have suspended their offensive."

Shangguan Dong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we cannot let our guard down. We must increase patrols to prevent the rebels from attacking at night."

Shangguan Dong felt very complicated. The Regent knew from the beginning that the eldest prince would rebel!

Many other ministers echoed, "Yes!"

The emperor nodded and issued an order: "Send more patrols and strengthen vigilance. At the same time, pass the order down, let everyone stay alert and not let down their guard at all."

The guard responded and quickly retreated. Silence returned to the palace, but the tense atmosphere still existed.

The soldiers continue to stick to their posts, ready to respond to any emergencies that may arise.

On this night, the Mountain Resort experienced a life-and-death test. However, under the wise leadership of the emperor, the rebels failed to succeed. Although the rebellion was temporarily quelled, it brought deep shock and reflection to the entire palace.

Jun Yaoqi paced back and forth in a tall tent outside the Summer Resort, his face full of anxiety. He originally thought that the army's siege would leave the Summer Resort powerless, but he didn't expect that after a whole day of attack, he still couldn't break in.

Liao Shuti sat aside, looking at Jun Yaoqi's irritable look, and shook his head secretly in his heart.

He knew Jun Yaoqi's character very well. Although he was ambitious, he lacked patience and calmness. He comforted him, "Don't panic, my prince. The Royal Guards are all experts, but they are few in number. Tomorrow we will use the Wheel Technique and see how long they can hold out."

Jun Yaoqi felt relieved after hearing this. He asked, "Uncle, how is the capital? How is the palace?"

Liao Shuti stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I just received a letter from the palace."

He handed Jun Yaoqi a letter. When Jun Yaoqi took it and read it, an expression of joy immediately appeared on his face.

Jun Yaoqi opened it and read the contents impatiently: "My mother has teamed up with Chu Nan, the deputy general of the Imperial Guards, to successfully capture Jun Yaotian and lock him up. Now my mother is in charge of the capital's guards, and she is in control of the palace."

Concubine Shu claimed to be ill and did not come with the emperor to escape the heat, so the empress and all the concubines followed the emperor to the Mountain Resort.

Jun Yaoqi laughed loudly: "Haha, my mother is really powerful! With her around, we don't have to worry about the situation in the capital." There was a confident light in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Liao Shuti also laughed: "Yes, with your mother here, we have the greatest support. We will continue to work hard tomorrow and must capture the Summer Resort and make the emperor write an edict to abdicate and let the wise man take over."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with beautiful visions of the future.

"Report!" A soldier came hurriedly and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, someone broke out in the dark."

"what?"

The soldier trembled and said: "Someone broke out in the dark..."

Jun Yaoqi pulled out a long sword from the side and stabbed it straight into the soldier's heart.

"what……"

Soon the soldier stopped breathing and fell to the ground, dying with his eyes open.

Liao Shuti said: "Don't be angry, Prince. Even if someone breaks out, so what? It takes time to go back and forth. As long as we capture the emperor tomorrow and obtain the imperial edict, we don't have to worry about reinforcements. By then, everything will be settled and it will be a foregone conclusion!"

"Um…"

Liao Shuti said: "Come here, drag him out."

Soldiers immediately came in and dragged the body out.
