The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 125 The Hall in the Cave

Mo Shaoxie gently stroked Shangguan Ziling's hair, his eyes full of tenderness and admiration. He looked down at the woman in front of him, a doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Ling'er is really amazing."

Shangguan Ziling winked at him playfully when she heard that, as if to ask for credit. The two of them walked out of the darkness hand in hand, as if they were strolling in a garden. They walked past the fainted guards as if they saw nothing, and came straight to the cave entrance.

Mo Shaoxie stood in front of the cave entrance. He glanced at the door, then let go of Shangguan Ziling's hand and said softly, "Ling'er, wait, I'll take a look." After that, he stepped forward and observed carefully.

Shangguan Ziling stood aside, her eyes fixed on the keyhole at the entrance of the cave. She smiled slyly, reached out and pulled out the hairpin on her head. Then, she took a few steps forward, aimed at the keyhole of the cave entrance and began to fiddle with it.

She was very skilled, and after a few moves, the cave door opened. Mo Shaoxie raised his eyebrows and showed a hint of surprise. He turned his head to look at Shangguan Ziling, and saw that she was smiling triumphantly, holding the hairpin that she had just used to open the lock.

Mo Shaoxie put his arm around her slender waist and kissed her forehead lightly, "Ling'er really surprises me."

Mo Shaoxie held Shangguan Ziling's hand and slowly walked into the cave entrance. They stepped on the solid ground and felt the cool air in the cave. It was pitch black all around, with only a faint light in the distance guiding their direction.

Mo Shaoxie suddenly stopped walking after walking a short distance. He was keenly aware of something unusual ahead. He squatted down, picked up a sharp stone, and threw it hard into the darkness ahead.

The stone drew an arc in the air and then disappeared into the darkness. Then, a burst of dense air-breaking sounds was heard, as fierce as a rainstorm.

Mo Shaoxie's pupils shrank, and he immediately reacted. He hugged Shangguan Ziling's slender waist and quickly retreated several steps.

Almost at the same time as they retreated, sharp arrows shot out from the stone wall, dancing in the darkness like poisonous snakes. If Mo Shaoxie had not noticed and dodged these arrows in time, they would have hit them long ago.

Arrows grazed their sides, bringing with them sharp gusts of wind. Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling tightly, and their heartbeats were clearly audible at this moment. He didn't let go of Shangguan Ziling until the rain of arrows stopped.

Shangguan Ziling was also shocked just now. She didn't expect that there was such a dangerous mechanism hidden here.

However, she did not panic, on the contrary, she quickly regained her composure, for she knew very well that in such a dangerous place, any negligence could bring fatal consequences.

The little fat boy in the space was not so calm. His eyes were wide open, and he looked at the scene outside with horror. He couldn't help but yelled, "Master, be careful!" His voice was full of worry and concern.

When Shangguan Ziling heard the fat boy's cry, she just responded softly: "Yeah." Her voice was calm and firm, without any panic or fear.

Mo Shaoxie looked down at Shangguan Ziling, and he was relieved to see that she was still calm and not frightened by the danger. He held Shangguan Ziling's hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Ling'er, walk behind me." This was his instinctive reaction as a man and a protector. He hoped to use his body to shield Shangguan Ziling from all the wind and rain.

However, Shangguan Ziling was not willing to rely on him completely. She shook her head gently and insisted, "No, let's go side by side." Her words revealed a firm and independent spirit. She did not want to be a burden to Mo Shaoxie. She hoped to go forward side by side with him and face the unknown and dangers ahead together.

The corners of Mo Shaoxie's mouth rose slightly, outlining an arc of pampering and indulgence.

He nodded gently, and his left hand was like a solid mountain, wrapping around Shangguan Ziling's slender and soft waist, giving her the most solid support and reliance. The two of them walked towards the faint light ahead, and every step seemed so firm and powerful.

They walked through the winding and deep passages, and the moss and vines on the surrounding stone walls seemed to tell an ancient and mysterious story.

A vast space gradually appeared at the end of the passage. When they finally walked out of the long passage, a magnificent hall appeared before their eyes.

This hall is tall and solemn, majestic, and gives people a sense of majesty and inviolability. However, when Shangguan Ziling stepped into the hall, her brows were furrowed.

She keenly smelled a faint fragrance in the air. Although the fragrance was fresh and pleasant, it made her feel a little uneasy.

She immediately took out the Qingxin Pill from her sleeve and handed it to Mo Shaoxie beside her, with a serious tone that left no room for doubt: "Take it, this fragrance is poisonous."

Mo Shaoxie took the Qingxin Pill without any hesitation and swallowed it directly. His action was swift and decisive, demonstrating his determination and responsibility as a king.

Then, Shangguan Ziling took out a small exquisite jade bottle, which contained the spiritual spring water in the space. She handed it to Mo Shaoxie and asked him to drink it. At the same time, she took the Qingxin Pill and drank the spiritual spring water without hesitation.

The spiritual spring water melted as soon as it entered their throats, and a cool feeling quickly spread throughout their bodies, as if an invisible hand was helping them dispel the toxins in their bodies and making them feel refreshed.

Shangguan Ziling felt that his mind became clearer and the toxins in his body were rapidly dissipating.

Mo Shaoxie knew that having such a smart, decisive and caring partner by his side was his greatest luck in life.

The two of them looked around the hall carefully, looking around without missing any corner. They walked past tall stone pillars and around exquisite murals, but it seemed that they didn't find anything special.

Although the interior of the hall is solemn and mysterious, there is nothing else eye-catching except the obvious furnishings and decorations.

The two exchanged glances and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes. However, just when they were about to give up, they suddenly noticed that there was a row of rooms on each side of the hall. The doors of each room were tightly closed, as if hiding some secrets.

"It seems we have to go into those rooms and take a look." Mo Shaoxie said in a deep voice, his eyes already falling on those rooms.

Shangguan Ziling nodded in agreement. The two walked to the door of the first room and gently pushed it open. The door made a slight creaking sound, as if an ancient door that had not been opened for a long time was telling a story of the past.

The light in the room was dim, and it took the two of them a while to adjust before they could see the scene inside clearly. The room was filled with various weapons.
