The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 223 This Princess Will Send You Out Personally

Shangguan Ziling stood up and walked around the room anxiously, her face full of anxiety. She ordered: "Search the room carefully, don't miss any place!"

Upon hearing this, the maids immediately began to carefully search every corner of the room.

Dongqing has already searched it once and found nothing unusual.

Now several people started searching again, they dared not be careless at all, for fear of missing any details.

Shangguan Ziling's eyes were on the bed. She walked over, lifted the quilt, and checked it carefully.

She found nothing, so she checked the quilt again, but still found nothing. Shangguan Ziling looked at the quilt deeply, took out a dagger, and cut open the quilt in one go.

A small purse appeared inside the quilt. Shangguan Ziling took the purse in her hand and smelled it carefully.

Her face grew serious, and she walked to the table and emptied the contents of her purse.

It was a white powder. Shangguan Ziling checked it and basically determined what drug ingredients the white powder contained.

Shangguan Ziling's face was gloomy.

The little fat man in the space said in a deep voice: "Master, someone actually drugged you? Who has such great ability? Who can enter the room? Except you four maids..."

Several girls looked back at this scene, all a little surprised. They stopped what they were doing and walked over.

Chunxiao was shocked and said, "This quilt was made by me. I didn't let it go." Her voice was full of confusion and puzzlement. She didn't understand why she found such a thing in the quilt.

Shangguan Ziling's eyes were like an icy lake in winter, cold and deep. She spoke calmly, without a trace of warmth in her voice: "Pick up this white powder and throw it away." Her words were concise and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu immediately stepped forward and carefully wiped the white powder on the table with a handkerchief. Her movements were quick and meticulous, fearing that she would leave any traces.

After finishing, she said, "I'll throw it away right away." There was a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Wait." Shangguan Ziling suddenly spoke, with a hint of teasing in her voice.

Xia Yu turned around, looked at Shangguan Ziling in confusion, and said, "Princess?" Her face was full of confusion.

Shangguan Ziling looked at Xia Yu with a smile and said, "Xia Yu, I remember that when I returned home today, you didn't insist on going back with me. You usually like the hustle and bustle the most, don't you?" There was a hint of playfulness in her words, as if she was testing Xia Yu.

Hearing this, Xia Yu showed an awkward smile on her face and said, "I don't know martial arts. Only with my two sisters Qiu Kui and Dong Qing accompanying me can I protect the princess."

Shangguan Ziling walked to the small couch and lay down, closing her eyes, as if thinking about something.

Dongqing drew out the sword and put it across Xia Yu's neck. Chunxiao was startled and said, "Dongqing, what are you doing?" Her voice was full of fear and confusion.

Xia Yu was so scared that her face turned pale, and she said, "Princess, please save me. I don't know what I have done wrong." Her voice trembled and her eyes were full of fear.

Qiu Kui also looked at Dong Qing with a puzzled look, not understanding why she suddenly attacked.

Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows and said nothing. She seemed to be waiting for something.

Dong Qing said, "Xia Yu usually clings to the princess the most. Today, I found it strange. It was strange that you didn't make a fuss about going back home with the princess today. After the princess came back, you didn't even come out to greet her the first time."

If it were any other time, it would be fine, but the princess found a strange purse in the quilt, which contained white powder. Although the princess did not say it, it was guessed that the white powder was not a good thing, so Xia Yu's behavior today was very suspicious. Moreover, only the four of them could enter the room, and there would definitely be no one else.

Xia Yu said in a trembling voice: "That was Chunxiao and I in the room. Chunxiao and I were learning embroidery and didn't know the princess was back." There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in her voice, as if she was defending herself.

Shangguan Ziling slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were deep, and she said nothing.

Dong Qing sneered when she heard this: "Learn embroidery? When did you become interested in embroidery?"

Chunxiao said: "Indeed, I was embroidering a handkerchief for the princess in the room. Xia Yu said she wanted to learn too. She wanted to embroider a handkerchief for the princess herself."

Qiu Kui said: "I remember that Xia Yu hates embroidery the most. The princess also said that among us, Chun Xiao is the only one who has patience and is the best at embroidery."

Chunxiao also stood aside with an embarrassed look on her face, not knowing what to say. She also had no idea why Xia Yu, who usually hated embroidery, was learning embroidery from her.

The room fell into silence.

Shangguan Ziling's eyes were like sharp blades, staring at Xia Yu in front of her. Her voice was low and threatening: "Who are you? Where is the real Xia Yu?"

There was a flash of panic in Xia Yu's eyes, and she defended herself aggrievedly: "Princess, I am Xia Yu!" However, there was a hint of unnaturalness in her words.

"Hehe! If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude." The silver needle in Shangguan Ziling's hand flashed with cold light, and she quickly came to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu sensed the danger and quickly bent down to avoid the sword on his neck, while at the same time he struck Shangguan Ziling fiercely with a palm.

In the chaos, Xia Yu pulled Chun Xiao over, grabbed her neck, used her as a hostage, and quickly escaped from the room.

Dongqing reacted quickly and chased after him immediately.

Qiu Kui also quickly stood in front of Shangguan Ziling and asked with concern: "Princess, are you okay?"

Shangguan Ziling's face darkened, she shook her head, and followed Dong Qing out.

In the yard, Xia Yu held Chun Xiao hostage and confronted Shangguan Ziling and others.

A ferocious smile appeared on her face, and she challenged, "Don't come over, or I'll kill her!"

Chun Xiao was pinched so hard that her face turned pale, and she said tremblingly: "You, you are not Xia Yu..." Her voice was full of fear and despair.

Shangguan Ziling looked at Chunxiao in her hands, looked at Xia Yu coldly, and said: "Do you think you can escape?"

Xia Yu laughed and said, "That depends on whether the Regent Princess values ​​this girl."

Chunxiao closed her eyes tightly and said, "Princess, don't worry about me. You can't take me hostage." However, as soon as she finished her words, the hand that was pinching her neck increased its strength. Chunxiao suddenly felt difficulty breathing and her face became even paler.

Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, and said, "Release my maid, and I will let you leave."

Xia Yu raised a disdainful smile and said, "Why do you think I will believe you?"

Shangguan Ziling spread her hands and said, "Then what do you want?"

A sly light flashed in Xia Yu's eyes, and he said, "Of course the Regent Princess personally escorted me out of the Regent Palace."

"Princess, no!" Okra and Holly shouted at the same time.

Shangguan Ziling smiled and said, "Okay! I will personally escort you out."
