The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 278

Shangguan Ziling carefully took the pulse of the five infected people again. Her brows were furrowed and her heart was full of worry.

She found that although the spiritual spring water brought some vitality to their bodies, the condition was still very serious. It seemed that she had to quickly develop a formula to solve the plague.

The little fat man in the space lowered his head and said sullenly: "Master, I'm sorry, it's me who absorbed the essence of the spiritual spring water, causing the spiritual energy in the spiritual spring water to disappear, so the effect of the spiritual spring water is greatly reduced."

Shangguan Ziling responded softly, "Little Fatty, this is not your fault. Although the spiritual spring water failed to cure the plague, the five victims have regained some vitality. Now I will develop a formula to cure the plague to treat these victims."

The little fat boy said: "Master, you should also be careful not to get infected with the plague."

Shangguan Ziling responded: "Yes, I know."

Deep in the dense forest behind the mountain, the secret guards swung their axes and chopped down the thick tree trunks. Their movements were skillful and powerful, and each axe landed accurately in the center of the tree trunk, chopping them down to the ground.

"Ling'er, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Xue Zhiyan and the others will be here in two days. Maybe he has a way to cure the plague." Mo Shaoxie's voice was low and powerful, which made Shangguan Ziling feel a little comforted.

Shangguan Ziling nodded gently.

The secret guards quickly cut down enough tree trunks and began to build a simple shelter. They divided the work among themselves, some were responsible for building the walls, some were responsible for building the roof, and some were responsible for carrying the wood.

With their joint efforts, a simple and practical residence was quickly built.

After Shangguan Ziling treated five seriously ill victims, she and Mo Shaoxie returned to the residence. Her eyes were full of fatigue and anxiety, and she knew she still had a lot to do.

"Mo Shaoxie, I'm going to the space to freshen up." Shangguan Ziling said to Mo Shaoxie.

Mo Shaoxie stretched out his hand, trying to hold her, but Shangguan Ziling had already flashed into space. His hand stopped in mid-air, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed and dissatisfied.

"Ling'er didn't even take me into the space." Mo Shaoxie muttered, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

After a while, Shangguan Ziling washed up, changed into clean clothes, and left the space. She pulled Mo Shaoxie and slipped into the space, saying softly, "You should also go and wash up. I will go and study a way to treat the plague."

Mo Shaoxie hugged her and said, "Ling'er, come with me to wash up."

Shangguan Ziling pushed him away and said, "Mo Shaoxie, stop messing around. I need to develop a medicine to treat the plague as soon as possible, otherwise more and more people will be infected, and even we might be infected. The spiritual spring water can't cure the plague, so I have to hurry now."

Mo Shaoxie took a deep breath, "Well, Ling'er go ahead, I'm just saying, Ling'er don't get too tired."

Shangguan Ziling nodded, she turned and walked towards the alchemy room in the space.

Shangguan Ziling has been concentrating on studying the prescription for curing the plague. She sits in the corner of the laboratory, surrounded by various medicinal materials and books. Her eyes are firm and focused, as if the whole world has disappeared before her eyes. She is completely immersed in her research and forgets the passage of time.

Mo Shaoxie sat on the other side of the laboratory, looking at Shangguan Ziling quietly. His eyes were full of worry and distress, he knew that Shangguan Ziling had made too much effort to find a prescription to cure the plague.

He watched the sky outside the space gradually brighten, and before he knew it they had been in the space for a whole night.

He walked to Shangguan Ziling and said softly, "Ling'er, take a rest, it's almost dawn." He stretched out his hand and wanted to gently touch Shangguan Ziling's shoulder, but was worried about disturbing her.

Shangguan Ziling raised her head, looked at Mo Shaoxie, shook her head and said, "No, I still need to continue my research." Her eyes revealed a firm determination, as if she had made up her mind to find a prescription to cure the plague.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her determined eyes. He gently stroked Shangguan Ziling's hair and said, "Ling'er, you have done very well. Don't push yourself too hard."

Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie's caring eyes and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Mo Shaoxie." She put down the herbs in her hand, stood up, and stretched.

Mo Shaoxie took the opportunity to press her sleeping point and held her in his arms while he lay on the bed. Shangguan Ziling had specially taken this bed out from the space just for resting.

Mo Shaoxie gently covered her with a blanket, then went to bed, hugged her and closed his eyes to rest. His breathing gradually became steady, as if he had fallen asleep. Shangguan Ziling lay in his arms, feeling his warm breath and firm embrace, and couldn't help feeling a sense of peace and comfort in her heart.

Half an hour later, Mo Shaoxie opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the space medicine garden. This was the medicine garden that Little Fatty had cultivated for Shangguan Ziling, and Little Fatty was playing here.

Mo Shaoxie walked over and said, "Little Fatty, escort me out of this space."

The little fat boy looked at Mo Shaoxie and tilted his head and said, "Master, why don't you go out with the master?"

Mo Shaoxie raised his eyebrows and said, "Ling'er hasn't had a good rest these past few days, and she was researching medicinal herbs last night. Let her sleep a little longer."

After hearing what Mo Shaoxie said, the little fat boy nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take the male host out." The little fat boy waved his hand, and Mo Shaoxie left the space.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the gap in the tent and fell on Mo Shaoxie's face.

Mo Shaoxie walked out of the tent and saw Mo Feng standing at the door waiting.

When Mo Feng saw Mo Shaoxie coming out, he immediately bowed and said, "Master."

Mo Shaoxie nodded and asked, "How were the victims last night?" There was a hint of concern in his tone.

Mo Feng replied, "My Lord, the victims drank the princess's spiritual spring water last night, and their emotions have stabilized."

Mo Shaoxie came to a high ground and looked down at the disaster victims below. Their tents were arranged in an intricate manner, like small fortresses, but they seemed fragile. The air was filled with dullness and depression, as if even the air was trembling because of the plague.

Mo Shaoxie's eyes revealed a hint of firmness and decisiveness. He knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the situation of these disaster victims would become even more difficult. He turned to Mo Feng and said, "Go and ask Guo Fusi to choose an open space and have people build houses."

After hearing what Mo Shaoxie said, Mo Feng immediately turned around and left. However, Mo Shaoxie suddenly remembered what Shangguan Ziling said. She once told him that before the plague was under control, it would be best to keep the people who came in from leaving, so as to avoid infecting people outside, which would make the plague more difficult to control.

He was lost in thought, thinking about how to solve this problem. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came into his eyes. He remembered the scene of the secret guards cutting down trees on the mountain. He immediately shouted to Mo Feng, "Wait!" Mo Feng stopped and looked back at him.

Mo Shaoxie said again: "No need, let's wait until the princess develops a prescription to treat the plague. Now let the secret guards go to the mountain behind and cut down some trees, and build a wooden house on the open space over there."

After listening to Mo Shaoxie's words, Mo Feng nodded to show that he understood. He immediately turned around and left to convey Mo Shaoxie's order.

After receiving the order, the secret guards immediately took action. Holding sharp blades, they shuttled through the dense woods and cut down trees. Their movements were skillful and quick, as if they were completing an important task.
