The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 266

Mo Shaoxie came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he walked in with big strides.

The servants in the mansion have become accustomed to the scene of the Regent coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up the princess during this period of time. They saluted respectfully from a distance.

Mo Shaoxie walked over to Shangguan Ziling and sat down. His eyes were firm and deep. Shangguan Ziling looked up at him with a hint of smile in her eyes: "You're here."

Mo Shaoxie nodded, his voice low and powerful: "Ling'er, let's go to Nanlin tonight."

Shangguan Ziling was stunned: "What?"

Beichen Xue also exclaimed: "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you leaving tonight?" Her eyes were full of confusion.

Shangguan Dong sat aside, his brows furrowed, but there was not much surprise on his face. He had already known what happened in Nanlin during the morning court session this morning, and he estimated that the Regent was going to deal with the disaster in Nanlin. He sighed lightly and said nothing.

Shangguan Ziling held Mo Shaoxie's hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice, "My brother won't be married for many days. Can't we wait until my eldest brother is married before going?"

Mo Shaoxie looked at Shangguan Ziling's frown, he gently smoothed her brows, and said softly: "Ling'er, Jun Yaotian's disaster relief food has been robbed, and the south is in chaos. The people are living in dire straits and all lives are in ruins. We must hurry and can't wait any longer."

Beichen Xue heard what Mo Shaoxie said, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Is Zi Ling going too?"

Mo Shaoxie nodded: "Mother-in-law, there is food in Ling'er's space."

Shangguan Ziling was surprised when she heard what Mo Shaoxie said. She did have some food in her space, but she never thought that it would come in handy at this time. She didn't expect Jun Yaotian to be so useless. Humph, she would definitely give him a good beating when the time comes, for making her unable to attend her brother's wedding.

Shangguan Ziling's eyes revealed a trace of reluctance. She pouted and said aggrievedly: "Brother, I can't attend your wedding."

Shangguan Zirun sat opposite and said softly, "Sister, it's okay. The people of Nanlin are more important."

Shangguan Dong sat at the side, his brows knitted, but there was not much surprise on his face. He sighed softly and said, "Be careful when you go out with the prince, and you should also pay attention to your safety. The situation in Nanlin is complicated and changeable, you must always stay vigilant."

Mo Shaoxie's eyes were firm and deep. He looked at Shangguan Dong and said seriously, "Don't worry, father-in-law. I will take good care of Ling'er."

Shangguan Dong listened to Mo Shaoxie's words and nodded.

Beichen Xue stood aside, her eyes full of worry and reluctance. She whispered, "Let's have dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion before leaving?"

Mo Shaoxie looked at Beichen Xue, shook his head and said, "Mother-in-law, we still have to go back to prepare, so we won't have dinner in the Prime Minister's Mansion. We have to hurry on our way and try to reach Nanlin as soon as possible."

Shangguan Dong listened to Mo Shaoxie's words and nodded, saying, "Then you can go back. I won't keep you here any longer. Go back and prepare well. Zi Ling, don't act willfully when you go out. You have food in your space. Help the people in Nanlin who are suffering from the disaster."

Shangguan Ziling listened to her father's words, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Dad, I know. I will do my best to help the people of Nanlin."

Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling bid farewell to everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to the Regent's Palace.

After the two returned to the Regent's Palace, Shangguan Ziling went straight back to Xinlingyuan.

Qiu Kui and Dong Qing immediately began to help pack Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie's clothes.

Chunxiao and Xia Yu went to the kitchen and started making some snacks and pastries for the journey.

Shangguan Ziling put all the herbs she had been tinkering with into the space in case of emergency. She knew that Nanlin's situation might be very serious, so she had to be as prepared as possible.

After packing everything up, it was gradually getting dark.

Several horses were ready and parked quietly outside the palace.

Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling, and the two walked to the gate of the palace together. Their eyes met, as if they could read each other's mind.

Mo Shaoxie gently helped Shangguan Ziling onto the horse, his movements gentle yet powerful.

Shangguan Ziling sat on the horse's back, leaning in Mo Shaoxie's arms, feeling his warmth and strength. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the night air.

"Thank you, Ling'er, for taking this trip with me." Mo Shaoxie said softly.

Shangguan Ziling shook her head, her voice full of firmness and determination: "It's not hard, I'm willing to go with you, but I can't attend my brother's wedding."

Mo Shaoxie stroked her hair and said gently, "I have already made arrangements. When your eldest brother gets married, the butler will send a generous gift."

Shangguan Ziling listened to Mo Shaoxie's words, she knew that Mo Shaoxie had always been thinking about her and arranging everything for her. This feeling of being cared for and cherished made her feel extremely happy and warm.

"Yeah." Shangguan Ziling nodded, with a hint of nasality in her voice.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her with love in his eyes. He whispered, "Let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the horse's belly and galloped away.

The four people behind him, Qiu Kui, Dong Qing, Mo Feng and Mo Ying, immediately rode their horses to catch up.

Their figures gradually faded away in the night. Several horses galloped out of the capital and disappeared into the vast night.

The lights were on in the imperial study of the palace.

The third prince Jun Yixing and the fourth prince Jun Feiqin stood opposite the emperor.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his eyes were deep and serious. He looked at the two princes and asked in a deep voice: "The regent has already set out for Nanlin tonight. Who of you will follow him to Nanlin?"

Jun Yixing and Jun Feiqin looked at each other and saw the firmness and determination in each other's eyes. Jun Yixing was the first to speak: "Father, I am willing to go to Nanlin and help the victims."

The emperor frowned slightly after hearing what Jun Yixing said. He knew that Jun Yixing was usually carefree and liked to go out and play, and might not be able to deal with the complex situation in Nanlin. So he looked at Jun Feiqin again and asked, "Old Four, what about you?"

Jun Feiqin answered without hesitation: "Father, I am willing to go to Nanlin. The disaster in Nanlin is serious, and I am willing to do my part."

The emperor felt a little satisfied after hearing Jun Feiqin's words. He knew that Jun Feiqin was resolute and courageous, and that his son was calm and steady, so he should be able to handle this mission. So he nodded and said, "Okay, Fourth Brother, you will set off tomorrow with the herbs."

Jun Yixing was not disappointed after hearing the emperor's decision. He cupped his hands and said, "Father, where is the food? Can you just let the fourth son go with the herbs?"

The emperor was silent for a while after hearing Jun Yixing's words. He knew the importance of food, so he shook his head and said, "The food issue has been handed over to the regent. You just need to comfort the people and help them rebuild their homes."

Jun Feiqin said firmly: "Father, I will prepare as soon as I get back and set off early tomorrow morning."

After hearing what Jun Feiqin said, the emperor nodded and said, "Fourth Brother, hand over the decree of deposing the crown prince to that evil son Jun Yaotian."

Jun Feiqin took the imperial edict, bowed deeply and said, "Your son obeys the order."
