The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 195 Mysterious Letter

Shangguan Ziling has been like a quiet lotus these days, quietly blooming in the Crimson Purple Courtyard. She has not gone out and has not participated in any banquets in the palace.

As the wedding approached, a joyful and tense atmosphere filled the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The servants in the mansion were busy shuttling between the courtyards.

Shangguan Jiaoyun was alone in the deserted courtyard. It was quiet all around. Only the occasional sound of wind broke the silence, adding a bit of chilliness.

Her eyes were full of hatred, which was the jealousy and dissatisfaction towards Shangguan Ziling, and the unquenchable anger deep in her heart.

Shangguan Ziling is getting married tomorrow, which makes Shangguan Jiaoyun feel extremely irritated and uneasy.

She had been looking for an opportunity to deal with Shangguan Ziling, but she never found the right time, which made her feel very frustrated.

Crimson Purple Courtyard was like a solid fortress, making it impossible for her to start. Except for the day she came back, she had no chance to get close to Shangguan Ziling, which made her feel very helpless.

Shangguan Jiaoyun paced back and forth, thinking in her mind how to poison Shangguan Ziling.

At this moment, a man wrapped in black appeared in front of Shangguan Jiaoyun. Shangguan Jiaoyun widened her eyes in horror. The man in black quickly covered her mouth and whispered in her ear: "There is someone secretly watching you outside. I will let you go, don't scream."

Shangguan Jiaoyun nodded after hearing this.

The man in black let go of Shangguan Jiaoyun's mouth.

Shangguan Jiaoyun covered her chest, took a deep breath, and looked outside. Who sent someone to secretly monitor her? Shangguan Ziling?

"who are you?"

The man in black looked at Shangguan Jiaoyun with contempt and said, "You don't need to know who I am."

Shangguan Jiaoyun was speechless.

The man in black handed a sealed letter to Shangguan Jiaoyun, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Find a way to deliver this letter to Shangguan Ziling, and don't worry about the rest."

Shangguan Jiaoyun took the envelope and felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She looked at the back of the man in black and asked, "Who are you? Why do you want me to give this letter to Shangguan Ziling?"

The man in black did not turn around, but said lightly: "There are some things you should not know. You just need to do what I say. If you don't give the letter to her, you will not survive tonight." After that, his figure disappeared in the room, as if he had never appeared.

Shangguan Jiaoyun stood there looking at the window. She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. Her hand holding the letter trembled.

She held the envelope in her hand, her heart full of doubts.

Shangguan Jiaoyun straightened her clothes to make sure she looked decent. She hid the mysterious envelope tightly in her arms, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door.

With a hint of determination on her face, she walked towards the direction of Jiangziyuan.

In the Jiangzi Courtyard, Shangguan Ziling was leaning lazily on the small couch, her eyes a little dazed. Tomorrow was her wedding day, and although her face was painted with delicate makeup, it was difficult to conceal her inner nervousness.

She had flipped through the sketchbook in her hand several times, but she just couldn't concentrate, her mind filled with confused thoughts.

At this moment, Qiu Kui walked into the room, with a look of hesitation and embarrassment on her face: "Miss, the second young lady is here, and she's clamoring to see you. She said she has something important to tell you, and she can't be driven away."

Shangguan Ziling frowned upon hearing this. She snorted coldly, "Does she have anything important to tell me? Didn't I tell her not to come to Jiangziyuan again? Let her go."

Qiu Kui responded and turned to leave.

However, at this moment, Shangguan Ziling suddenly shouted: "Wait, let her in and see what she wants to play?" There was a hint of curiosity and exploration in her tone.

Qiu Kui turned around and replied respectfully, "Yes, Miss." After that, she stepped out, and soon Shangguan Jiaoyun followed her in.

Shangguan Jiaoyun walked into the room, her eyes stayed on Shangguan Ziling for a moment, and then slowly moved away. She had a smile on her face, seemingly calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and uneasiness.

Shangguan Ziling looked at her, with mixed emotions in her heart. She was curious about what important things Shangguan Jiaoyun had to say, but she was also annoyed by her coming.

Shangguan Ziling said coldly: "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Shangguan Ziling glanced at Shangguan Jiaoyun with a sarcastic smile on her lips: "Shangguan Jiaoyun, if you have to fart, come on." Her tone was full of disdain and annoyance, and it was obvious that she was not welcome to Shangguan Jiaoyun's arrival.

Shangguan Jiaoyun's heart tightened. Thinking of the threatening words the man in black said when he left, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

She carefully took out the letter from her bosom and handed it to Shangguan Ziling with trembling hands: "Sister, someone asked me to give you the letter."

Shangguan Ziling didn't answer the letter. She stared at Shangguan Jiaoyun with sharp eyes and said sarcastically, "Shangguan Jiaoyun, you haven't learned your lesson yet. What tricks do you want to play?"

Shangguan Jiaoyun explained hurriedly: "Sister, really, a man in black just broke into my room and told me to hand the letter to you personally, otherwise he would not let me survive tonight."

After hearing this, Shangguan Ziling frowned. She carefully observed Shangguan Jiaoyun's expression, trying to determine whether she was lying.

However, Shangguan Jiaoyun's expression was very real, without the slightest flaw.

Shangguan Jiaoyun felt a little complicated. She had finally entered the Jiangzi Courtyard. Should she poison Shangguan Ziling? However, there were several girls around her, so she had no chance at all! And Shangguan Ziling was not easy to fool now.

Shangguan Ziling gave Qiu Kui a gentle look, and Qiu Kui immediately understood. She quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the letter from Shangguan Jiaoyun's hand.

"elder sister?"

Shangguan Ziling tilted her head slightly and responded calmly: "Since the letter has been delivered, you can go away now."

Before Shangguan Jiaoyun could even open her mouth, Dongqing at the side had already taken quick action, grabbed Shangguan Jiaoyun's clothes and pulled her out mercilessly.

Shangguan Jiaoyun struggled, but Dongqing's strength was so great that she was quickly taken out of the room, leaving only her panicked voice echoing.

Shangguan Ziling watched Shangguan Jiaoyun being taken away, then turned around and looked at the envelope in her hand. The envelope was made of fine rice paper, with the words "Shangguan Ziling personally" written on it in fluent cursive script.

Qiu Kui beside him said: "Miss, be careful, there is a scam, I will come"

"No need."

Qiu Kui had a puzzled look on her face and said, "Strange, who would send a letter to the eldest lady, and let the second lady deliver it? I asked the secret guards to monitor the second lady, and there hasn't been any movement from the second lady recently! Eldest lady, I will ask the secret guards who are monitoring the second lady to see who the second lady has contacted today."

Shangguan Ziling nodded.

Okra turned and went out.
