The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 274

Mo Feng walked in, his face showing a bit of uneasiness and uneasiness. He saluted and said in a low but firm voice: "Master."

Mo Shaoxie raised his head, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's as he looked at Mo Feng, and asked calmly: "How is the disaster?"

Mo Feng took a deep breath, as if recalling those heartbreaking scenes.

Mo Feng's voice was trembling a little: "Master, the people along both sides of the river were almost washed away by the flood. The bodies of the people were floating in the river, the stench was overwhelming, and it was a horrible sight."

Mo Shaoxie's brows were furrowed, his heart filled with anger and grief. He slammed the table hard, his voice as cold as ice: "It's been so many days, why haven't the bodies of the people been salvaged and brought ashore and buried yet!"

Mo Feng lowered his head, his voice filled with helplessness: "County Magistrate Guo said that the Crown Prince's men said to wait until the flood recedes before salvaging. County Magistrate Guo has limited yamen runners, and he appeases other people every day, so he has no way to salvage the bodies in the river."

"Asshole!" Mo Shaoxie stood up angrily, his eyes flashing with anger. He pushed the chair away and strode out of the room.

Mo Feng followed behind him, and the two hurried to Magistrate Guo's yamen, their hearts extremely heavy.

When Mo Shaoxie entered the county government office, a yamen runner who stayed behind saw him, knelt on the ground and shouted, "I pay my respects to the Regent."

Mo Shaoxie glanced at the yamen runners coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Jun Yaotian?"

The yamen runner replied tremblingly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the county yamen."

Mo Feng stood beside Mo Shaoxie and added: "The crown prince has been deposed, and he should now be called King Yao."

Upon hearing this, the yamen runner quickly changed his words: "Prince Yao is in the county yamen."

Mo Shaoxie strode into the county government office, his eyes sharp as an eagle, scanning everyone present.

Jun Yaotian came out of the inner room when he learned that the Regent had arrived. He looked at Mo Shaoxie with a mocking smile on his face: "What is the Regent doing here?"

Mo Shaoxie looked indifferently at Captain Ren Yong beside Jun Yaotian and ordered, "Captain Ren Yong, immediately lead the troops to the river to fish out the bodies of the civilians and bury them in peace."

Captain Ren Yong looked at Jun Yaotian, as if waiting for his instructions.

Seeing this, Mo Shaoxie said coldly: "What? My words don't work?"

Captain Ren Yong saw that Mo Shaoxie was angry, and he quickly bowed and said goodbye: "Yes, I will go immediately."

Jun Yaotian's face was ugly. He looked at Mo Shaoxie and said in a bad tone, "Prince Regent, Lieutenant Ren Yong and the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital were all brought by this prince, so they should obey my command."

Mo Shaoxie raised his eyebrows and said, "You have been deposed, why do you still call yourself the prince?" There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in his voice.

Jun Yaotian was so angry at Mo Shaoxie's words that he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with anger. He knew that Mo Shaoxie was his nemesis. Wherever he was, he could no longer call the shots like before.

Mo Shaoxie left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving Jun Yaotian standing there alone, shaking with anger. He looked at Mo Shaoxie's back, his heart filled with resentment and hatred.

Shangguan Ziling woke up from her deep sleep, her head still a little dizzy. She rubbed her temples, trying to dispel the uncomfortable feeling. She took out a pot of spiritual spring water from the space, took a few gulps, and immediately felt much more refreshed.

The little fat man in the space asked with concern: "Master, why don't you take a rest for a while?"

Shangguan Ziling shook her head, her eyes firm and deep, "I want to go out and see the victims. The most feared thing after the flood is the plague, I am really worried."

The little fat boy muttered, "Your man is here for everything!" There was a hint of coquettishness and dissatisfaction in his voice, as if he thought Shangguan Ziling was working too hard.

Shangguan Ziling said softly, "Little Fatty, we saw so many people in the mountains, and Wang Hu's village is not close to the river. According to him, there are quite a few villages on both sides of the river. I can't imagine what the scene would be like in a village close to the river?"

Her words were full of worry and concern, and the little fat boy fell silent. He knew that Shangguan Ziling's worries were not groundless, but came from deep sympathy and care for the victims.

Shangguan Ziling got out of bed and quickly tidied herself up.

Shangguan Ziling pushed open the door and a breath of fresh air hit her face.

Qiu Kui happened to see Shangguan Ziling coming out, and she asked with concern: "Princess, are you awake? Why don't you rest a little longer?"

Shangguan Ziling's eyes were firm and deep. "Let's go out and see the victims." Her voice revealed an unquestionable power, which made Qiu Kui nodded involuntarily.

Qiu Kui turned around to drive the carriage, while Shangguan Ziling walked at the gate, waiting quietly.

After a while, Qiu Kui came galloping in a carriage.

After Shangguan Ziling got on the carriage, Qiu Kui asked, "Princess, where are we going now?"

Shangguan Ziling pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "Go to the area where the disaster victims are most serious."

Qiu Kui nodded, and she drove the carriage at full speed on the road leading to the gathering place of disaster victims.

The scenery along the way passed by quickly, and Shangguan Ziling's heart was filled with worry and concern. She knew what a tragic scene was waiting for her ahead.

Half an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the gathering place of disaster victims.

After Shangguan Ziling got off the bus, the scene in front of her made her heart sink. The dilapidated houses, the ragged victims, the helpless eyes... all of this made her feel extremely heartbroken.

Shangguan Ziling stood at the edge of the puddle, looking at the muddy ground under her feet, her brows furrowed. There were puddles everywhere on the ground, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell that made people cover their noses.

Qiu Kui stood beside her and said worriedly, "Princess, the environment here is too bad. How about I send you back?"

Shangguan Ziling shook her head, she bent down and tore off the hem of her skirt, revealing a pair of slender and powerful legs. She took a deep breath and stepped resolutely into the mud.

Qiu Kui looked at Shangguan Ziling's back, feeling both worried and respectful. She knew that their princess was a kind person who always stood up in the most difficult moments.

Shangguan Ziling walked forward step by step. Although her steps were a little difficult, her eyes were always firm. She passed through puddles one after another and walked through muddy land one after another.

She came to a tent filled with people, their expressions were dull and pale, as if they had lost all hope.

Some people sat on the ground, crying silently, staring at their dead relatives in a daze.

Shangguan Ziling looked at all this and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
