The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 165: How could she be so intimate with a strange man?

Qiu Kui stared at herself in the bronze mirror and was stunned for a moment. In the mirror, her originally pretty face was outlined with a thick beard by Shangguan Ziling with charcoal pencil, and Qiu Kui's mouth twitched slightly.

Shangguan Ziling stood aside and couldn't help laughing when she saw Qiu Kui's reaction. "Yeah, not bad, this looks good, and the mustache is pretty handsome!"

Qiu Kui looked at Shangguan Ziling with resentful eyes.

Shangguan Ziling coughed and said, "It looks pretty good. Our okra is so manly."

Chunxiao and Xia Yu covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

Shangguan Ziling, on the other hand, looks like a young man, very handsome and attractive.

Shangguan Ziling and Qiu Kui, dressed in men's clothing, walked on the busy street. There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, a dazzling array of stalls, and shouts of hawkers, creating a lively scene.

However, amidst the commotion, the focus of people's discussion was the theft that occurred in the warehouse of Duke Fu's mansion last night.

Shangguan Ziling raised the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard that. She gently opened the folding fan in her hand and fanned it gracefully, revealing a carefree and unrestrained look.

Qiu Kui reminded quietly: "Miss, didn't the master tell you to stay in the mansion and not go out?"

Shangguan Ziling turned around and gave Qiu Kui a confident smile: "Dad is afraid that I will run into trouble when I leave the house. Look, I'm wearing men's clothes now, and no one recognizes me, so it's okay, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Qiu Kui was speechless. So, she could only follow Shangguan Ziling silently. After the black-clad man broke into the Jiangzi Courtyard to assassinate last night, Qiu Kui always remained alert, just in case.

Shangguan Ziling chuckled and patted Qiu Kui's shoulder, comforting her: "Don't be nervous, no one will recognize us."

However, Shangguan Ziling's outfit was so handsome that it attracted the attention of countless girls. They all stared at Shangguan Ziling, and some bold ones even walked up to her and shyly handed her a purse.

Qiu Kui stared at the girls with a wary look on her face. She frowned and looked ferocious, which scared the girls so much that they turned around and ran away.

Shangguan Ziling looked at Qiu Kui's reaction and couldn't help laughing out loud, "If I had known I would not have painted you like this, look at you, with your stern face, you scared away the beauty." She teased.

Qiu Kui has a face full of black lines...

The two figures gradually disappeared in the crowd, leaving behind a group of girls who were astonished and regretful.

Qiu Kui followed Shangguan Ziling, her eyes following the road ahead. When they turned into the direction of the Regent's Palace, Qiu Kui couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are we going to the Regent's Palace?"

Shangguan Ziling nodded gently and said "hmm". She remembered that Mo Shaoxie said that Doctor Xue would be able to prepare the antidote today. Since she was unable to go with her brother to pay homage to her deceased mother today, she decided to come to the Regent's Palace.

Shangguan Ziling and Qiu Kui came to the side of the Regent's Palace and saw a tall wall standing tall.

Qiu Kui couldn't help but frown, wondering why the young lady didn't go through the front door? Was she trying to climb over the wall to get in?

Just as she was wondering, Shangguan Ziling moved and jumped lightly onto the wall.

Seeing this, Qiu Kui had no choice but to follow closely, relying on his extraordinary skills to jump over. As soon as the two landed, they felt the murderous aura coming from all around.

Several secret guards appeared quietly, surrounded the two people, and pointed their swords at them.

Qiu Kui's heart tightened and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Their eldest daughter was an expert at disguising herself, and the secret guards were unable to recognize them. However, in this situation, if they were mistaken for intruders, the consequences would be disastrous.

Qiu Kui hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Don't do it, this is your princess, I Qiu Kui."

The secret guards recognized Qiu Kui's voice, looked at each other, and made way, looking at Qiu Kui with strange expressions.

Shangguan Ziling asked casually: "Where is Mo Shaoxie now?"

A secret guard dressed in black immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee and replied: "Princess, the master is now in Mobei Courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Kui immediately stepped forward and said respectfully to Shangguan Ziling, "Miss, I will lead the way for you."

Shangguan Ziling nodded, indicating that Qiu Kui could lead the way.

Qiu Kui led the way in front, and along the way, inquiring glances were heard from the darkness from time to time.

However, Shangguan Ziling ignored these gazes.

Finally, the two arrived in front of Mobei Courtyard. However, Shangguan Ziling did not choose to walk through the gate, but moved, jumped up, and climbed over the wall to enter.

Qiu Kui looked at Shangguan Ziling's back, then glanced at the door in front of him, speechless.

Shangguan Ziling jumped up lightly, crossed the high courtyard wall, and was about to sneak into Mo Hospital quietly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she landed, several dark guards in black suddenly emerged from the shadows around her. They held long swords in their hands, had stern expressions, and attacked Shangguan Ziling without hesitation.

Qiu Kui jumped into the yard right after him. She was shocked when she saw the sudden change, but she quickly calmed down and rushed forward to stand in front of Shangguan Ziling, trying to protect her from the secret guards.

Shangguan Ziling's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and she whispered to Qiu Kui: "Don't make a sound." Although her voice was low, it was an unquestionable command. Qiu Kui immediately swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Then, Shangguan Ziling moved and started a fierce battle with the dark guards who were besieging her. Her sword skills were agile and graceful, and her body movements were strange, as if she was playing hide-and-seek with the dark guards, and she easily dodged the fierce attacks again and again.

In contrast, Qiu Kui was not so relaxed. Although she was good at martial arts, she seemed a little overwhelmed when facing several secret guards who attacked her at the same time. She tried her best to resist the attacks of the secret guards, while also keeping an eye on Shangguan Ziling.

The whole courtyard was filled with a tense and intense atmosphere, with swords flashing and figures intersecting, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while. However, Shangguan Ziling always had a faint smile on her face, as if she was enjoying the excitement and pleasure brought by this battle.

Mo Shaoxie, Xiao Zijin and others heard the fighting in the yard and came out of the house one after another.

They saw several black-clad secret guards besieging a handsome young man, and that young man was Shangguan Ziling.

Xiao Zijin frowned and said with a cynical smile: "Oh, who is so bold as to break into the Regent's Palace?"

Mo Shaoxie's eyes were fixed on Shangguan Ziling who was fighting with the secret guards, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He curled his lips, moved his body, and flew forward like a flash of lightning, and instantly came to Shangguan Ziling's side.

Mo Shaoxie put his arms around Shangguan Ziling's waist and held her tightly in his arms.

He looked down at Shangguan Ziling's eyes, which were flashing with a fiery light, as if he wanted to absorb her soul into his body.

Shangguan Ziling was caught off guard by Mo Shaoxie's actions. She widened her eyes. Did this man recognize her?

With the joining of Mo Shaoxie, the secret guards stopped immediately.

They were shocked when they saw their master and Shangguan Ziling hugging each other tightly.

They couldn't believe their eyes. Wasn't their master going to marry a princess soon? How could he be so intimate with a strange man?
