The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 273

Grandma Li's eyes moved between Shangguan Ziling, Mo Shaoxie and the others. She saw that they were well-dressed and handsome, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not peasants from the countryside.

She couldn't help but feel a little curious and confused, wondering who they were.

So she asked, "Thank you girls, who are you?" Although her voice was weak, it was full of sincerity and gratitude.

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly. She looked at Grandma Li's kind and questioning eyes, and she couldn't help feeling warm and kind in her heart. She replied, "Grandma, let's talk about it after we get out of this cave. The cave is dirty and the air is not good. It's not good for your health."

Shangguan Ziling's words were simple and clear, without too much explanation. Although the air became better after the people in the cave went out, there were inevitably some unpleasant smells in the cave because so many people lived in it.

Shangguan Ziling gave Dongqing a look, and Dongqing immediately understood what she meant.

She walked up to Grandma Li and said with a smile, "Old lady, let me carry you."

Grandma Li looked at Dongqing and nodded. Dongqing carefully helped Grandma Li up and carried her on her back.

Xiao Liuzi watched this scene. He looked at Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie, with curiosity and admiration flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Liuzi said: "Sister, you are such a good person. Thank you for saving my grandma." His voice was clear and loud, full of gratitude and respect.

Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling, picked up Xiao Liuzi with one hand, and prepared to leave the cave. He leaped and landed steadily on the ground. Xiao Liuzi's eyes widened and he said happily: "Sister, uncle is so awesome!"

Mo Shaoxie's body stiffened and his face turned dark. He threw Xiaoliuzi away. Xiaoliuzi rolled on the ground, stood up, and looked at Mo Shaoxie with some grievance.

Mo Shaoxie didn't even look at him, he hugged Shangguan Ziling and turned away.

Shangguan Ziling patted Mo Shaoxie on the chest and whispered, "It's just a name! What are you doing?"

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but feel amused. She knew that this man was also petty. He was angry because Xiao Liuzi called her sister and him uncle.

Xiao Liuzi stood there, feeling a little lost and aggrieved. He looked at the backs of Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling, and couldn't help feeling confused and puzzled. He didn't know how he had offended this uncle and why he suddenly lost his temper.

Xiao Liuzi chased after him, and they all came to an open space, where they saw the lights of many fires from afar.

The flames from the bonfire flickered in the night sky, like warm oceans.

Mo Ying saw them and stepped forward and said, "Master, Princess, there are too many people. I cut down the surrounding trees so that the people can barely sit together."

Shangguan Ziling's eyes swept through the busy crowd around the fire, and a heavy feeling welled up in her heart.

She knew that these victims had experienced a great disaster. They had lost their homes and loved ones, which was a heavy blow to them.

Wang Hu also came over, scratching his head, with a hint of embarrassment and uneasiness on his face. He looked at Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Well, noble sir, can you take a look at the others? Many villagers are sick like Grandma Li." There was a hint of pleading and expectation in his voice. Obviously, he saw that the seriously ill Grandma Li was now in a much better complexion and was awake, so he shamelessly came to ask.

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and sympathy when she heard Wang Hu's words. She knew that the situation of these disaster victims was much worse than she had imagined. She nodded and said, "Well, I'll go and take a look."

Shangguan Ziling walked to the sick elderly and children and checked their conditions one by one. She found that they all had common diseases such as fever, diarrhea, and malnutrition. Although the problem was not serious, if it was not treated in time, it would also cause great harm to their bodies.

Shangguan Ziling took out some herbs and a casserole from the space and began to make medicine for the sick villagers. She skillfully mixed the herbs and made bowls of steaming Chinese medicine. When she finished making the medicine, she gave it to the sick villagers one by one.

By the time they had finished all this, it was already dawn. Shangguan Ziling felt a wave of fatigue coming over her, so she leaned on Mo Shaoxie's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

Mo Shaoxie hugged her lovingly and said, "Ling'er, I was inconsiderate. I should have brought some imperial doctors with me, so that Ling'er wouldn't have to be so tired." His voice was full of apology and self-blame, and it was obvious that he felt very guilty for Shangguan Ziling's hard work.

Shangguan Ziling snuggled in Mo Shaoxie's arms. She shook her head gently and said, "We didn't know the situation here at first. It's okay."

Mo Shaoxie gently hugged Shangguan Ziling and whispered in her ear: "Ling'er, I will take you back to rest." His voice was gentle and firm, like a warm current, making Shangguan Ziling feel extremely at ease and comfortable.

Shangguan Ziling slowly opened her eyes. She looked up at Mo Shaoxie with a hint of fatigue in her eyes. She whispered, "Where are these villagers?"

Mo Shaoxie gently stroked her cheek and said softly, "Mo Ying and Dong Qing are here."

Shangguan Ziling nodded. She was indeed a little tired. She closed her eyes and continued to lean on Mo Shaoxie's arms.

Mo Shaoxie picked up Shangguan Ziling horizontally, explained something to Mo Ying and Dong Qing, and then took Shangguan Ziling away.

Mo Shaoxie held Shangguan Ziling in his arms and sped all the way back to the county town.

He carried Shangguan Ziling back to the courtyard, entered the room, and looked down to see that the person in his arms had fallen asleep. Her breathing was steady and deep, as if she had fallen asleep.

Mo Shaoxie gently put her on the bed, tucked in the corners of the quilt for her, and covered her with the blanket. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently stroked her cheek and whispered, "Ling'er, have a good rest, I'll take care of everything."

After leaving the room, Mo Shaoxie asked Qiu Kui to stay outside the room to prevent anyone from disturbing Shangguan Ziling's rest while he went to deal with things.

He knew that this flood not only affected the villagers in the mountains, but also the villages along the river, which must have suffered more serious floods.
