The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 279

A group of disaster victims gathered together, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. They had just heard an exciting news: wooden houses would be built for them so that they could have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Most of these disaster victims fled from Nanlin County, where they lost their homes and loved ones and lived in dire straits. Now, hearing that their homes would be rebuilt, they couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in their hearts.

Some victims who were not seriously ill stood up one by one and decided to help. They knew that although they were weak, they could always do something within their ability. They supported each other and walked towards the open space designated by Mo Shaoxie.

Mo Shaoxie stood beside the open space, looking at the enthusiastic faces of the disaster victims, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

And Guo Fusi outside didn't know that there was food in Shangguan Ziling's space, let alone the existence of such a magical treasure as space, nor did he know what was going on inside.

Guo Fusi arranged for people to place food, pots and bowls at the entrance, and then let the people inside take them in themselves.

Soon, Mo Shaoxie's secret guards moved in food, pots and bowls, etc.

Some women started to light the fire and cook porridge. They operated the spatulas and stoves skillfully. Soon, a fragrance spread. Other victims gathered around, their eyes fixed on the porridge in the pot, their stomachs growling.

When the porridge was ready, the women scooped bowl after bowl of it with a spoon and distributed it to the victims around them. Everyone couldn't wait to drink a mouthful of it. The sweet taste seemed to be something they had never tasted before.

Their faces showed satisfied and happy smiles, as if to say: "This is the most delicious porridge we have eaten in a while."

Shangguan Ziling woke up in the space and found that it was already past noon outside. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked into the space.

The little fat boy rushed over and said, "Master, the male master asked me to send him out early in the morning."

Shangguan Ziling asked: "What time is it outside now?"

The little fat boy replied, "Master, it's already past noon outside."

Shangguan Ziling was shocked when she heard this. She had actually slept for so long. She controlled herself with her mind and drank a bowl of spiritual spring water. Her mind suddenly became much clearer.

She got up, washed, packed up, and left the space.

When she appeared in the tent, Mo Shaoxie was sitting there waiting for her.

When Mo Shaoxie saw Shangguan Ziling coming out, he asked, "Ling'er, have you rested enough? Are you hungry? Come and eat something."

Shangguan Ziling walked over and sat opposite him. She clearly remembered that she was studying medicinal herbs, so how could she suddenly fall asleep? She couldn't help but wonder if all this was caused by Mo Shaoxie.

Mo Shaoxie seemed to see through her doubts. He smiled and said, "Ling'er, you are looking at me like this. Do you think I am good-looking?"

Shangguan Ziling rolled her eyes at him and said, "Tsk, you are such a narcissistic man."

Mo Shaoxie laughed loudly and said, "Don't you think that I am good-looking, Ling'er?"

Shangguan Ziling shook her head helplessly. She picked up the bowl of porridge and started eating it with wild vegetables.

These wild vegetables were dug by the women in the mountains. Although they look a bit rough, they taste very delicious.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her eating with gusto and couldn't help feeling a little satisfied.

He also picked up the bowl and started eating. The two of them sat quietly and enjoyed this simple lunch.

After the two finished their meal, Mo Shaoxie began to discuss the plan to build wooden houses for the victims.

Shangguan Ziling agreed very much after hearing this. She knew very well that the simple tents built could not meet the needs of the victims. They were crowded together and the sanitary conditions were worrying, which was extremely detrimental to their recovery.

Shangguan Ziling suggested: "I can draw a blueprint and build the wooden house according to the design above."

After hearing this, Mo Shaoxie couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Ling'er also knows these?"

Shangguan Ziling replied proudly: "Of course." After she finished speaking, she took out paper and pen from the space and began to draw.

Her technique was skillful and smooth, as if she had already pictured the cabin in her mind. After a while, she had drawn a beautiful blueprint.

After Mo Shaoxie saw it, his eyes were full of shock. He exclaimed: "Ling'er, if the wooden house is built like the one in the drawing, you can imagine how beautiful it will be."

Shangguan Ziling smiled and nodded, saying, "There are pros and cons. Conditions are limited, so we can only build wooden houses first to give these disaster victims a change of environment. After the plague is resolved, we will have people build houses for the victims so that they can have a stable home."

After hearing what she said, Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling tightly, resting his head on her neck, his breath spraying on her skin, making her feel itchy.

Shangguan Ziling pushed him, but Mo Shaoxie refused to let go.

Mo Shaoxie whispered, "Ling'er, don't move, let me hug you. It is my fortune to meet Ling'er in this life." His voice was low and gentle, as if carrying a hint of tenderness and sweetness.

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help feeling sweet when she heard his words. She leaned back in Mo Shaoxie's arms, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.

In this era of imperial power, being able to find someone to rely on is a kind of happiness for Shangguan Ziling. For her, meeting this man, getting to know him and falling in love with him is also her luck.

Shangguan Ziling gently pushed Mo Shaoxie away, "Okay, Mo Shaoxie, let me go, I want to continue researching the prescription for treating the plague." Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but he finally let go of her hands. He kissed her lips gently, "Ling'er, don't be too tired. I will ask them to build the wooden house according to the drawings Ling'er drew." His voice was low and gentle, making people feel at ease.

Shangguan Ziling nodded, and after watching Mo Shaoxie leave, she continued to devote herself to the research of curing the plague. She flashed into the space where she had all kinds of herbs and medicinal materials.

The space was filled with a faint herbal aroma, which made people feel fresh and peaceful. Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath and began to study the herbs carefully. Her fingers gently slid over the herbs, as if she was feeling their vitality and energy.

Her brows were furrowed, her mind racing. She kept trying various ratios and combinations, trying to find a prescription that could effectively treat the plague. Time passed by, and she was completely immersed in her research.
