The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 215 I Will Help You

Xiao Zijin stood aside with a serious expression. He looked at Mo Shaoxie and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the eldest prince has been making frequent moves in secret recently. Both he and the crown prince have reached out to the Jinji Camp."

Mo Shaoxie paused for a moment as he heard this. He raised his eyes and said calmly, "The Golden Machine Battalion is the elite division of our Dongyue Dynasty. Naturally, it attracts the attention of all parties. It is not surprising that the eldest prince and the crown prince did this. Let someone remind General Yun."

The Jinji Camp is the military camp led by General Yun, and all the soldiers are brave and good at fighting.

Xiao Zijin said: "General Yun has been reminded. General Yun also wants to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible. He is afraid that someone will make a fuss about Miss Yun Youyou's marriage. At present, General Yun seems to have discussed the marriage with the Prime Minister. After all, Miss Yun Youyou and Shangguan Zirun have feelings for each other."

Mo Shaoxie nodded.

Le Wenshu waved his folding fan at the side, with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "It seems that both of them value military strength, fearing that their own strength is not strong enough."

Mo Shaoxie smiled slightly and said, "War is a major issue for a country. It is a matter of life and death, a matter of survival and destruction. It must be carefully considered. It is understandable that they value military strength. However, they seem to have forgotten that even if the military strength is strong, what is the use if there is no one to use it?"

Hearing this, Le Wenshu immediately understood what Mo Shaoxie meant. He nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. Military strength is important, but more important is the talent of the generals and the loyalty of the soldiers. Only a truly talented general can lead an army to victory."

After Mo Shaoxie finished dealing with the affairs in the military camp, a trace of fatigue appeared on his face. He stood in front of the camp gate, looking at the rolling hills in the distance, and he knew in his heart that the struggle in the court had become more and more intense recently. Several princes in the royal family were secretly fighting for military power, and the military camp had become the focus of their competition.

He turned to Le Wenshu and said, "Wenshu, I'll leave the affairs of the military camp to you. The court has been unstable recently, and several princes and the emperor have extended their hands to the military camp. You must be careful in dealing with them."

Le Wenshu took the token handed over by Mo Shaoxie and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to ensure the safety of the military camp."

Mo Shaoxie smiled slightly and patted Le Wenshu on the shoulder: "I believe you. Remember, don't be easily used by others, protect yourself."

Momo Shaoxie's gaze lingered on Xiao Zijin. His eyes were deep and sharp. He said to Xiao Zijin in a deep voice, "Zijin, find out where the spies left behind by those countries are hiding and catch them all. There is no use keeping them. The court is treacherous and changeable. Leaving them behind will only create hidden dangers."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zijin straightened up immediately, his eyes gleaming with determination, and he responded to Mo Shaoxie's order without hesitation: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your trust and catch those spies one by one, and restore peace to my Dongyue Dynasty."

Mo Shaoxie nodded and said, "Be careful."

Xiao Zijin bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will be very careful and make sure that the operation is foolproof."

Afterwards, Mo Shaoxie gave a few more instructions and then turned and left.

Xiao Zijin stood there, watching Mo Shaoxie's back go away. When he could no longer be seen, he turned around and smiled at Le Wenshu, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Wenshu, did you notice that the prince seems to be in a good mood today and is very polite when talking to us? As expected, there is no ice that cannot be melted by a woman!"

Hearing this, Le Wenshu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew Mo Shaoxie's character very well. He was always calm and reserved, and didn't easily show his emotions. However, today, the prince's tone was obviously much softer, and he seemed patient when communicating with them. It was indeed a lot different than usual.

Mo Shaoxie returned to the Regent's Mansion, "Where is the princess? What is she doing?"

Immediately, a secret guard came out from the dark, half-knelt on the ground, and said, "The princess is in the pharmacy."

Mo Shaoxie didn't stop and turned to walk towards the pharmacy. When he arrived at the pharmacy, he saw Shangguan Ziling and Xue Zhiyan chatting enthusiastically.

Mo Shaoxie strode forward, and when Xue Zhiyan saw him, he immediately bowed.

Shangguan Ziling turned around and looked, "You're back!"

Mo Shaoxie said "hmm", "What are you talking about?"

Shangguan Ziling said: "Well, I just want to discuss medical skills with Doctor Xue!"

Xue Zhiyan bowed, stroked his beard and said, "I am unworthy of the title of miracle doctor. After discussing with the princess, I found that there are so many shortcomings. Thank you for your guidance! I have benefited a lot!

"Hey! Doctor Xue, you are too modest..."

Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling and felt honored and very proud.

Xue Zhiyan witnessed the intimate interaction between Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling, so he tactfully withdrew, leaving the two of them alone.

Shangguan Ziling gently pushed Mo Shaoxie's arm away and continued to concentrate on the work of pounding the medicinal materials in her hands.

Mo Shaoxie did not leave because of this. Instead, he moved closer to Shangguan Ziling. His voice was low and gentle, and he asked softly, "Ling'er, what are you doing?"

Shangguan Ziling didn't even raise her head, and answered while busying herself: "Tomorrow is the day to return to my parents' home. I want to try to prepare some antidote for Uncle Ye and mother, and restore Uncle Ye's appearance at the same time."

Mo Shaoxie nodded slightly, showing his understanding. However, he seemed not satisfied with just standing aside and watching. His breath brushed Shangguan Ziling's ears and continued, "Ling'er, you are so thoughtful and always think about your family. But can you think about me a little more?"

Shangguan Ziling felt that Mo Shaoxie's breath was getting closer and closer. She stopped what she was doing, turned her head and looked at him, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "Just stop making trouble. I'm busy now. Don't disturb me."

Mo Shaoxie refused to give in, his eyes were affectionate and persistent, "Ling'er, I will help you."

Without waiting for Shangguan Ziling's consent, Mo Shaoxie stepped forward, took the medicine cup and started to help her tinker with it. Shangguan Ziling didn't know what to say, so she just let him do it.

But after a while, Shangguan Ziling's voice echoed in the pharmacy, like a roar of a lion, shaking the medicine bottles in the whole room. Her brows were furrowed, and sparks of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. She was obviously very angry at Mo Shaoxie's behavior.

"Ah! Mo Shaoxie, what are you doing?"

Mo Shaoxie stood aside with an awkward smile on his face.

Mo Shaoxie responded softly: "Ling'er, I didn't use much force. It was because it was not strong enough that it broke. It's really not my fault."

The guards in the dark were shocked when they heard this. They had never seen the prince speak so docilely and kindly.

In the palace, Mo Shaoxie has always been known for his sternness and indifference. Now they were shocked to see the prince being scolded by the princess and the prince was not angry.

Qiu Kui and Dong Qing also had surprised expressions on their faces. They followed Shangguan Ziling and knew her personality and temper very well. Although the princess was gentle and pleasant on weekdays, she was quite scary once she got angry. However, they had never seen anyone make the princess yell like this.
