The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 386

In the imperial study, the air was filled with the faint scent of ink. The emperor sat beside the desk, holding a memorial in his hand, his brows furrowed.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and then a eunuch hurried in, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Beichen is back."

When the emperor heard the news, he stood up excitedly and asked, "What did you say?"

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, Princess Beichen has returned and is now outside the imperial study."

The emperor strode out and saw Beichen Xue standing there, with a look of embarrassment and expectation on her face.

Beichen Xue was accompanied by a woman, whose appearance was quite similar to Beichen Xue, and one could tell at a glance that they were related by blood.

"Little sister, are you willing to come back?" The emperor looked at Beichen Xue, his eyes sparkling with tears of excitement.

When Beichen Xue heard this voice, her eyes immediately turned red. She looked at the familiar figure in front of her, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

Beichen Xue said softly: "Brother."

After saying this, she threw herself into the emperor's arms, tears streaming down her face.

Beichen Xue hasn't seen her relatives for a long time. At this moment, her heart is filled with emotion and longing.

The emperor hugged her tightly and patted her on the back. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." His voice trembled a little, and he was obviously too excited to speak.

The two hugged each other and cried, the scene was very touching.

Shangguan Ziling stood aside, watching them quietly, with a warm light in her eyes.

Bei Tianwei looked at Bei Chenxue, his eyes full of kindness and expectation. He stretched out his hand, gently patted her shoulder, and said, "Little sister, come in and tell me about your experiences over the years."

Beichen Xue was slightly stunned, then stepped back and said, "I am sorry for being rude, but my elder brother is now the emperor."

Bei Tianwei smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Hey, we haven't seen each other for many years, so you don't have to be polite."

He turned his gaze to Shangguan Ziling again, looked her up and down, and said, "Little sister, is this your daughter? Your daughter is so big now, and she looks exactly like you when you were young!"

Beichen Xue couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard this. She took Shangguan Ziling's hand and said, "Brother, this is Ziling, my daughter."

Beichen Xue gave Shangguan Ziling a look.

Shangguan Ziling smiled and said, "Uncle."

Bei Tianwei looked at Shangguan Ziling, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay, okay."

Beichenxue looked at Bei Tianwei and said, "Brother, I want to see father."

Bei Tianwei frowned and sighed, "Father is seriously ill and is now recuperating. Come on, I will take you to see him. Maybe Father will be happy to see you back and his illness will get better."

After saying that, Bei Tianwei turned and walked to the left, with Beichenxue and Shangguan Ziling following behind him.

The group passed through several palaces and came to a quiet palace - Beihe Palace.

The palace was brightly lit, but unusually quiet. The air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, which made people feel a heavy sense of oppression.

Bei Tianwei pushed open the door of the palace and walked in.

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, and Bei Tianwei said indifferently: "All of you retreat."

"Yes"

Beichen Xue and Shangguan Ziling followed closely behind and walked into this mysterious and solemn place.

They came to a bedroom with the door half-open, letting in a faint light.

Bei Tianwei gently pushed the door open and walked in.

The bedroom is simply furnished with only a bed and a table.

There was an old man lying on the bed. He looked very weak, his face was pale and his breathing was rapid.

When Beichen Xue saw the old man, she immediately knelt down, tears welling up in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Father, I am an unfilial daughter. It has taken me so long to come to see you."

Shangguan Ziling also knelt down. She looked at the strange old man and couldn't help feeling nervous and uneasy.

Bei Tianwei walked to the bedside, gently patted the old man's shoulder, and said, "Father, look, who is here?"

The old man slowly opened his eyes and saw Beichen Xue and Shangguan Ziling. A hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by tenderness and kindness.

"Is...is it Xue'er?" the old man asked tremblingly.

When Beichen Xue heard this voice, she immediately burst into tears and said, "It's me, Father. I'm back."

After saying that, she threw herself into the old man's arms and burst into tears.

Shangguan Ziling was also kneeling beside him, and her eyes turned red when she saw this scene.

Bei Tianwei looked at them, his eyes filled with emotion and relief.

He knew that this had been his father's greatest wish for many years, to see his little sister come back.

The old man on the bed coughed weakly, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice. "Hey, you little girl, you're back at last." He spoke slowly, with a tone that was both blaming and doting, "Back then, the emperor shouldn't have insisted on choosing someone he didn't like as your consort."

Beichen Xue burst into tears when she heard this. She knelt in front of the bed, tightly held the old man's hands, and cried, "Father, I was wrong. It's all my fault."

"Okay, okay." The old man patted the back of her hand gently, trying to comfort her. "Let the past be the past. Now that you're back, it's good."

Shangguan Ziling stood aside, looking at Beichen Xue and the old man on the bed, and couldn't help feeling sad.

"Mom, don't cry first." Shangguan Ziling said softly, "Let me show it to grandpa."

Beichen Xue raised her head and looked at Shangguan Ziling, her eyes full of gratitude. She nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, father, this is my daughter. She has excellent medical skills. Let her take a look at you."

The old man rolled his eyelids weakly and looked at Shangguan Ziling with a loving look. Is this his granddaughter? She really looks like her mother.

Shangguan Ziling walked to the bedside and gently felt the old man's pulse. Her technique was skillful and gentle, making people feel very comfortable.

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly and said, "Grandfather."

The old man uttered a weak "hmm".

Shangguan Ziling continued to examine his body, and the more she examined, the more her brows furrowed.

Shangguan Ziling's eyes were flashing with worry and anxiety. She knew that her grandfather was in very poor health, with many of his organs weakening. He was only barely keeping himself alive with the help of medicine.

She looked up at the old man on the bed. His face was pale and his breathing was weak, as if he would die at any time. Shangguan Ziling felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner panic. For her grandfather and her mother, she would definitely cure her grandfather.

Shangguan Ziling took out the syringe and medicine from the space, rolled up her grandfather's sleeves, and saw that there was no flesh on his dry arms, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Shangguan Ziling drew the medicine into the syringe and gently injected her grandfather with a cardiotonic drug to stabilize her condition. She would take care of his body according to his current physical condition.

Shangguan Ziling put down the syringe, sat down beside the bed, and gently held his hand.
