The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 244

Early the next morning, Shangguan Ziling opened her eyes dazedly, looked around, and found that there was still no one around her. She felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.

Shangguan Ziling slowly stood up and called out, "Chunxiao, Xiayu." Soon, two maids came in with water and helped her wash and dress up.

After Shangguan Ziling had packed up and had breakfast, she prepared to go out to see Dongfang Piaoyi and Zhuge Wan'er.

However, at this moment, Mo Wenjing's maid Xiaohong hurried over. She bowed, her face full of anxiety: "Princess, the young master is not well. The princess asked you to go over and take a look."

When Shangguan Ziling heard this, she was suddenly shocked: "What's wrong, little guy?" she asked anxiously.

Xiao Hong replied, "Princess, the young master had diarrhea in the second half of last night and kept crying. The princess sent someone to call a doctor early in the morning, but the young master's condition does not look good."

Shangguan Ziling did not hesitate and immediately said, "Let's go and take a look." She quickly followed Xiaohong to Mo Wenjing's residence.

Along the way, her heart was filled with worry and anxiety.

When they rushed to Mo Wenjing's residence, they saw Mo Wenjing anxiously holding the little guy and coaxing him.

The little guy’s face was pale, and he kept crying “wawawawawawa…” and looked very miserable.

When Mo Wenjing saw Shangguan Ziling coming, her voice choked up, and she said, "Ziling, please go and see what happened to Xiangxiang. He had diarrhea in the second half of last night and kept crying. I couldn't comfort him no matter what I did." Her face was full of worry and anxiety.

Shangguan Ziling felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw Mo Wenjing's appearance. She walked forward and comforted her softly, "Sister Jing, don't worry. Come, give me the little guy." She reached out her hand, took the little master from Mo Wenjing's arms, and examined him carefully.

The little guy's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. His little hands tightly grasped Shangguan Ziling's sleeves, as if seeking comfort.

Shangguan Ziling's heart was filled with pity. She looked up and asked, "Where's the nurse?"

Xiaohong replied, "The nanny was here just now!" A look of worry also appeared on her face.

Mo Wenjing said, "The two nurses took care of Xiangxiang all night last night without any rest. I asked them to go down and have a rest."

Shangguan Ziling took out an exquisite medicine bottle from her bosom, took out a syringe, sucked a drop of spiritual spring water, and fed it into the little guy's mouth. Soon, the young master's complexion began to improve, and his crying gradually stopped.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Mo Wenjing looked at this scene and exclaimed: "Zi Ling, what did you feed Xiang Xiang? And what is this thing? How come I have never seen it before? How come Xiang Xiang stopped crying after eating it? It's so magical?" Her face was full of surprise and curiosity.

Shangguan Ziling changed the subject and said, "Sister Jing, the wet nurse must have had an upset stomach, and the little guy drank her milk and also had diarrhea. However, I still need to see the wet nurse to know if it has anything to do with her milk." There was a hint of seriousness and concern in her voice.

Mo Wenjing had some ideas when she heard this. Normally, the two wet nurses provided them with good food and drink in the mansion, just so that they could have healthy milk to feed their babies.

By the way, she remembered that yesterday morning Nanny Li said there was a letter from home asking her to go back. When she came back in the evening, it was Nanny Li who fed Xiangxiang with milk. In the second half of the night, Xiangxiang had diarrhea and cried non-stop. Thinking of this, Mo Wenjing immediately said, "Xiaohong, go and call Nanny Li and Nanny Wang over right away."

"Yes, Princess," Xiao Hong responded and left.

Soon, two nurses came to the room in a hurry. Nanny Li looked pale and her steps were a little unsteady.

She walked into the room and saw the young master sleeping quietly on the bed. She couldn't help feeling guilty and self-reproachful.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Shangguan Ziling and Mo Wenjing.

Shangguan Ziling glanced at Nanny Li. Her eyes were sharp and keen, as if she could see through everything. She asked calmly, "What did you eat yesterday?"

Nanny Li felt a little uneasy, as she herself had diarrhea last night.

But she was afraid of being kicked out of the Regent's Palace. After all, it cost a lot of money to feed this young master, and her whole family depended on this little money to support!

She was greedy when she went back home yesterday and ate a lot of cold food. Thinking that she had made money, she bought two roast ducks and brought them back. But her husband went out to gamble again and lost all the money she brought back. He wrote to her and asked her to go back just to ask for money.

When she refused to give him the money, he beat her up. She gave him all the remaining money she had, and his wife left again. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She ate roast duck and drank cold water.

The children at home watched her eat. She felt depressed because she didn't give any to the little ones at home. She finished two roast ducks by herself and drank the cold water from the well. She felt uncomfortable in her stomach at the time, but didn't pay much attention to it.

But she didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear of being driven out by the princess, and said with flickering eyes: "No, I didn't eat anything?" Her voice trembled a little, revealing a sense of uneasiness and nervousness.

Shangguan Ziling looked her up and down, with a trace of scrutiny and suspicion in her eyes. She said calmly, "Are you sure you didn't eat anything? I see you look pale, so you must have had diarrhea last night!" Her voice revealed an unquestionable certainty, which made Nanny Li panic.

Mo Wenjing said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth yet."

After hearing this, Nanny Li felt nervous. She knew she couldn't keep it a secret any longer, or the consequences would be disastrous. She lowered her head and said weakly, "Yes, I ate some cold food and roast duck yesterday, and drank some cold water, and I got diarrhea."

After hearing this, Shangguan Ziling understood a little bit.

There was a hint of severity and reproach in Shangguan Ziling's words, and her eyes were fixed on Nanny Li, as if she wanted to see through her heart.

Nanny Li turned pale with fright. She knew she had made an irreparable mistake.

She knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Princess, I really didn't mean it. I was beaten by my husband yesterday. I was in a bad mood and ate and drank a lot.

The young master had diarrhea, and I vaguely thought that it was because he drank my milk. I didn't tell the truth because I was afraid that the princess would chase me away.

My whole family depends on the money I earn to support them! But my husband goes to gamble every day. Princess, I was wrong, please don't chase me away!" Her voice was full of pleading and pleading, hoping to get Shangguan Ziling and Mo Wenjing's forgiveness.

After hearing this, Mo Wenjing showed a trace of anger and dissatisfaction on her face. She snorted coldly and said, "Xiaohong, kick her out immediately." Her tone was firm and decisive, and she could not be questioned.

"Yes," Xiaohong answered and left. She dragged Nanny Li out with all her strength. Nanny Li struggled, and her strength made it impossible for Xiaohong to drag her out. Several maids came in to help, and finally dragged Nanny Li out of the room. The sound gradually disappeared in the distance.

The room finally became quiet.

Despite all the noise just now, the little guy couldn't be woken up. He is sleeping soundly now.

Nanny Wang had been taking care of the young master last night and looked very tired. She felt relieved when she saw the young master sleeping peacefully.

Mo Wenjing softened her tone and said, "Nanny Wang, go down and have a good rest. You've worked hard last night." There was a hint of concern and gratitude in her voice.

After hearing this, Nanny Wang showed a grateful smile on her face and said, "It's my duty as a common woman."

"Go down and have some rest! Xiangxiang will definitely be hungry when he wakes up. I'll ask someone to call you then." Mo Wenjing continued.

"Yes," Nanny Wang answered and left. She walked out of the room and gently closed the door. Only Shangguan Ziling and Mo Wenjing were left in the room, along with the sleeping kid.

Mo Wenjing looked at Shangguan Ziling, her eyes full of gratitude. She whispered, "Ziling, thank you." There was a hint of warmth and intimacy in her voice, as if the relationship between the two had deepened.

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly and said, "Sister Jing, we are all family now, there is nothing to thank you for!" Her words revealed a kind of intimacy and tacit understanding, which made Mo Wenjing feel at ease and comfortable.

Mo Wenjing smiled and said, "Well, indeed, you are Xiangxiang's aunt, so it's only natural!" There was a hint of playfulness and teasing in her words, making the atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant.

Shangguan Ziling also laughed and said, "Hehe, that's right, Sister Jing, we have to find a wet nurse so that there will be more people to take care of the little one." Her words revealed a kind of care and love that made Mo Wenjing feel touched and warm.

Mo Wenjing nodded and said, "Well, I'll ask Xiaohong to find the housekeeper and ask him to look for one."

Shangguan Ziling chatted with Mo Wenjing for a while, and the atmosphere between them was very harmonious and intimate.

Xiaohong's voice came from outside: "Princess, the doctor is here."

Mo Wenjing said, "Give him some reward money and send him off. Xiangxiang is fine now, there's no need to look into his health anymore."

"Yes, Princess." Xiao Hong replied and left. She took the reward and sent the doctor out of the palace.

Shangguan Ziling said something to Mo Wenjing, saying that she had something else to do, and then left.

Shangguan Ziling walked towards the study with a hint of dissatisfaction and anger on her face.

Qiu Kui answered from behind, "Princess, are you going to the study to find the prince? The prince took Mo Feng out early in the morning and we don't know where he went. But the prince said he will not be back for a few days." There was a hint of helplessness and worry in her words, as if she was worried that Shangguan Ziling would be angry.

Shangguan Ziling stopped walking when she heard this, and her anger grew even stronger. She thought to herself: Damn it, he ignored her last night, and he didn't say a word. Did he run away from home? He was playing the cold war with her? Humph! Bastard!

Qiu Kui and Dong Qing noticed Shangguan Ziling's anger and felt nervous.

The little fat boy in the space felt that Shangguan Ziling's anger value was rising rapidly. For the first time, he did not add fuel to the fire. He advised: "Master, don't be angry. Maybe something really happened to your man! How could he run away from home? You think too much."

Shangguan Ziling turned around and walked out expressionlessly, with a hint of anger on her face.

Okra and Holly hurried to catch up, "Princess, where are you going?" Okra and Holly asked.

"Go out and get some fresh air." Shangguan Ziling replied.

Qiu Kui and Dong Qing looked at each other. The princess was angry, so they didn't dare to speak and could only follow her silently.
