The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 238

Mo Shaoxie walked out of the palace gate, and Shangguan Dong came up and asked with concern: "My Lord, is Zi Ling okay?"

Mo Shaoxie smiled slightly, "Ling'er is fine, she will return to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see you tomorrow."

Shangguan Dong smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, "Well, his mother is also talking about her!"

After Mo Shaoxie said goodbye to Shangguan Dong, he returned to the Regent's Palace.

Returning to Xinlingyuan, Mo Shaoxie saw Shangguan Ziling busy tinkering with medicinal herbs in the yard.

Her face was covered with powder, and she looked a little disheveled, but it couldn't hide her pure and elegant appearance.

Mo Shaoxie hugged her gently from behind. Shangguan Ziling turned around and said coquettishly, "I'm back. Dinner is ready. I'm waiting for you."

Mo Shaoxie picked her up and said, "Hey, I haven't packed my herbs yet."

"They will take care of it." Mo Shaoxie strode towards the hall holding Shangguan Ziling.

After the two of them finished their dinner, Shangguan Ziling suggested, "The weather is nice tonight, let's go to the rooftop to watch the stars."

Mo Shaoxie readily agreed, and he carried Shangguan Ziling to the roof.

The night sky was dotted with stars, like a beautiful painting. The two of them lay quietly on the roof, looking up at the endless starry sky.

Shangguan Ziling asked softly, "Why did the emperor ask you to come to the palace?"

Mo Shaoxie said in a deep voice: "The dam in the southwest area collapsed and flooded." His words revealed a sense of heaviness and worry.

Shangguan Ziling was surprised when she heard this. "Ah? Is it serious?" Her tone was full of worry and uneasiness.

Mo Shaoxie said "hmm" heavily, "The people suffered heavy casualties and were displaced."

Shangguan Ziling felt a sinking feeling in her heart after hearing what Mo Shaoxie said.

Mo Shaoxie gently hugged Shangguan Ziling, his fingers gently smoothed her frown. His voice was low and full of warmth, "Ling'er, don't worry, there are people to deal with these things." His words were like a breeze, blowing away the worries in her heart.

Shangguan Ziling uttered a depressed "hmm".

Mo Shaoxie whispered in Shangguan Ziling's ear: "Ling'er, I'll take you to a place." His voice was low and full of temptation, making people irresistible.

Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "It's getting dark, where are we going?" There was a hint of anticipation on her face.

Mo Shaoxie smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you get there."

Mo Shaoxie held Shangguan Ziling in his arms and used his Qinggong skills to walk in the dark. Their figures were looming in the moonlight, like ghosts.

They arrived at the palace quietly. Shangguan Ziling asked in surprise, "What are you doing here? Are you going to the treasury?"

Mo Shaoxie scratched Shangguan Ziling's nose, looked at her money-obsessed look, and smiled.

Mo Shaoxie pointed to the figure in the room below and whispered, "Go check on the emperor's body."

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Mo Shaoxie said: "I was discussing something today and suddenly passed out."

"Oh!"

Mo Shaoxie flicked his finger, and everyone in the palace fell asleep.

Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan and entered the palace.

Shangguan Ziling stepped forward, checked the emperor's pulse, and said in surprise: "Huh? The emperor is poisoned!"

When Mo Shaoxie heard this, his eyes became deep, it was indeed so.

Mo Shaoxie asked in a deep voice: "Ling'er, is this poison serious?"

Shangguan Ziling said: "This poison is not easy to detect. It won't kill you right away, but it will slowly drain your body and make you weaker and weaker."

Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling and said softly, "Let's go back."

Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie, feeling somewhat puzzled. "No matter?" There was a hint of doubt in her voice.

Mo Shaoxie smiled slightly, "It's okay, I think it would be a good idea to have someone else become the emperor." His words revealed a sense of ease and ridicule, making people feel that he did not care who the throne belonged to.

Shangguan Ziling's mouth twitched. "Okay, you have the final say." She knew Mo Shaoxie's character. He always had his own plans and arrangements. Since he said so, she was relieved.

The two men left the palace as quietly as they had come. They avoided all the guards and patrols, and did not alarm anyone. Their figures were looming in the moonlight, like ghosts.

After returning to the palace, Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling and whispered, "Ling'er, are you tired?"

Shangguan Ziling shook her head, "Not tired."

Mo Shaoxie picked up Shangguan Ziling horizontally and walked towards the hot spring pool with steady steps.

Shangguan Ziling blinked, her heartbeat quickened, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Mo Shaoxie smiled and said, "I will carry Ling'er to take a hot spring bath." His voice was deep and magnetic, making people irresistible.

Shangguan Ziling felt a tightness in her heart when she heard what Mo Shaoxie said. She tried to struggle, but Mo Shaoxie's embrace was too firm and she couldn't break free.

There was a trace of shyness and helplessness on her face, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings. This man was really... She knew what he was trying to do even with her toes, humph!

Mo Shaoxie carried Shangguan Ziling to the hot spring pool and gently put her down. His movements were gentle and graceful.

Shangguan Ziling immediately pushed him away and stayed away from him.

Mo Shaoxie didn't seem to care and just looked at her with a smile.

Mo Shaoxie took a step forward and pulled her into his arms. His action was sudden and powerful, making Shangguan Ziling unable to resist.

Her heart beat faster, her cheeks turned redder, and her heart was filled with panic and anxiety.

The two hugged each other tightly, and Mo Shaoxie's breath lingered around Shangguan Ziling.

She felt her heartbeat was in sync with Mo Shaoxie's, as if two hearts were colliding with each other.

The hot spring water gently brushed over their bodies, bringing a sense of comfort.

Mo Shaoxie began to stroke Shangguan Ziling's back and waist dishonestly.

Shangguan Ziling's body stiffened and she yawned, "Mo Shaoxie, I'm sleepy."

Mo Shaoxie was slightly stunned, then he laughed, "Ling'er just said she wasn't tired." There was a hint of teasing and doting in his voice.

Shangguan Ziling widened her eyes, "Ah? Is that so? But I'm tired and sleepy now." There was a hint of coquettishness and dissatisfaction in her voice, which made people feel her cuteness and naivety.

Mo Shaoxie moved closer to her, a gentle light gleaming in his eyes.

He kissed her gently, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still.

His lips were soft and warm, fitting tightly against Shangguan Ziling's lips.

Shangguan Ziling's heart beat faster, her cheeks turned slightly red, and her body trembled slightly.

Mo Shaoxie's kiss gradually became affectionate and lingering, and his hands gently stroked Shangguan Ziling's face and hair.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, as if they had merged into one.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Shaoxie carefully cleaned up Shangguan Ziling.

He gently picked her up, as if she were the most precious treasure, and walked back to the room step by step.

After returning to the room, Mo Shaoxie carefully placed Shangguan Ziling on the bed and gently tucked the quilt for her.

He sat beside the bed, staring at her sleeping face quietly, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.

Her face was like fine porcelain, fair and translucent with a slight blush.

Mo Shaoxie went to bed, hugged her, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
