The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 296

Mo Shaoxie looked at her determined eyes and couldn't help but feel helpless and distressed. He knew that Shangguan Ziling was so stubborn that once she made a decision, she would not change it easily. He took a deep breath and said faintly, "This king feels sorry for Ling'er."

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help feeling sweet and touched when she heard his words. She gently held Mo Shaoxie's hand and said softly, "I know you feel sorry for me, but if the antidote really works, let the imperial physician make the medicine for the victims, and then I can have a good rest."

Mo Shaoxie looked at her firm and gentle eyes, and couldn't help feeling relieved and proud. He knew that Shangguan Ziling was a kind and brave woman. He nodded gently and said, "Okay, I will go with you."

So, the two of them went to the gathering place for the victims. Shangguan Ziling personally tested the medicine for those infected with the plague, while Mo Shaoxie stood by to protect her.

When they saw that the symptoms of the people who were testing the medicine were gradually improving, their hearts were filled with joy and satisfaction.

Shangguan Ziling then handed it over to the imperial physicians and asked them to prepare an antidote for the victims.

She knew very well that the effectiveness of these prescriptions was crucial, so she deliberately left a lot of spiritual spring water to ensure the quality of the medicine.

The imperial doctors took the prescription and expressed that they would do their best to live up to Shangguan Ziling's expectations.

The imperial doctors didn't know that what Shangguan Ziling left behind was spiritual spring water. They had never heard of spiritual spring water and were puzzled. The Regent Princess also instructed them to use the "water" she left behind to boil medicine, but they didn't know why.

However, seeing the victims infected with the plague, who were coughing bitterly one moment and instantly got better after drinking the Regent Princess's potion the next moment, made them look at the Regent Princess with new eyes and admire her very much.

After giving the orders, Mo Shaoxie looked at Shangguan Ziling's exhausted appearance, and a strong desire to protect her surged in his heart.

He directly picked her up horizontally, and regardless of her struggles and protests, he took her away from the scene. Although Shangguan Ziling was somewhat dissatisfied, she saw Mo Shaoxie's concerned look, and her dissatisfaction disappeared.

After returning to the mansion, Mo Shaoxie gently put Shangguan Ziling on the bed. He gently covered her with a quilt, then lay down on top of her, hugged her, and whispered, "Ling'er, go to sleep!" His voice was low and magnetic, as if it had a kind of magic that made Shangguan Ziling's eyelids heavier and heavier.

Shangguan Ziling leaned in Mo Shaoxie's arms, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, and couldn't help feeling a sense of peace and security in her heart.

She closed her eyes, and soon she fell into a deep sleep. Her breathing became steady and deep, as if she were in a carefree dream.

Mo Shaoxie looked at the sleeping Shangguan Ziling, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.

He kissed her forehead gently, then got out of bed carefully and walked out. He knew that Shangguan Ziling needed to have a good rest, and he had to deal with some affairs.

Mo Shaoxie came to the tent next to him.

Shadow stood to one side and reported: "Master, the secret guards found a cave deep in the back mountain. There are signs that it was deliberately covered up."

Mo Shaoxie frowned after hearing his words and asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out who is behind this?"

Shadow lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Not yet." His voice revealed helplessness and regret, as if he was blaming himself for not discovering this clue earlier.

Mo Shaoxie couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart after hearing his words. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down his anger, and said coldly: "Continue to investigate. I want to know who is behind this? What is the purpose?"

"Yes." Shadow replied.

..............................

Shangguan Ziling slept for a whole day and night, and it was not until noon the next day that Mo Shaoxie gently woke her up.

Mo Shaoxie sat beside the bed, watching her sleeping, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. There were still a few drops of glistening sweat on her face, as if telling her dream last night.

"Ling'er, you didn't eat anything yesterday afternoon and evening. Get up and eat something now." Mo Shaoxie's voice was soft and low, as if carrying a kind of magic, causing Shangguan Ziling's eyelids to begin to tremble slightly.

Shangguan Ziling slowly opened her eyes, and everything in front of her seemed a little blurry.

Shangguan Ziling yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes, trying to wake herself up. She stretched, feeling the softness and comfort of her body, as if she was still immersed in a dream.

"Have I slept for so long?" Shangguan Ziling's voice was slightly surprised. She looked at Mo Shaoxie with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Mo Shaoxie nodded and said softly, "Yes, you have slept for a day and a night, you must be starving."

Shangguan Ziling rubbed her stomach and suddenly found that she was really hungry.

So I got up and prepared to clean up.

Mo Shaoxie called Qiu Kui and Dong Qing to serve her.

Shangguan Ziling actually doesn't like being served by others, but she is really not good at the ancient hairstyle and hair-tying techniques. Apart from the simple ponytail, she really doesn't know how to do other complicated buns.

Qiu Kui and Dong Qing were very skilled and quickly helped Shangguan Ziling to comb her hair into a beautiful bun, which they then gently secured with a hairpin.

After cleaning up, Qiu Kui and Dong Qing brought the food and placed it on the table in front of Shangguan Ziling.

They bowed and then left, leaving Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie sitting next to each other.

Shangguan Ziling looked at the delicious food on the table and suddenly felt hungry.

She couldn't wait to sit down and started to eat voraciously.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her from the side, his eyes full of pampering and indulgence. He picked up the chopsticks and began to pick up food for her, saying lovingly: "Ling'er, eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

Shangguan Ziling's mouth was full of food, and she said incoherently, "I'm so hungry. I don't want to pretend to be a lady."

Although Shangguan Ziling's eating manners were a bit rough, she exuded a cuteness and frankness that made Mo Shaoxie laugh out loud.

Mo Shaoxie also smiled casually. He knew that Shangguan Ziling's character was straightforward and honest.

He put down his chopsticks, patted Shangguan Ziling's back gently, and said, "Okay, eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."

Shangguan Ziling felt warm immediately after hearing his words. She raised her head and looked at Mo Shaoxie's doting eyes, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

She knew that Mo Shaoxie was always so considerate and caring towards her, and he would support and encourage her no matter what she did.

So the two of them sat together quietly, enjoying this wonderful time.

Shangguan Ziling's mood also became relaxed and happy. She has now become accustomed to Mo Shaoxie's company and care.
