The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 319

Mo Shaoxie said: "Since the emperor is fine, I will take the princess back to the palace."

Shangguan Ziling said: "The poison in the emperor's body has just been resolved, and his body is a little weak. Uncle Han must slowly nurse the emperor back to health and not rush things."

Han Xin nodded. He understood that everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme.

Mo Shaoxie nodded to the emperor and took Shangguan Ziling away.

The emperor was not angry now, he was just a little jealous. Mo Shaoxie actually found a princess whose medical skills were better than those of the imperial physician. If the imperial physician had not mentioned that Shangguan Ziling had superb medical skills, he would have felt unwell when he came back from the imperial garden yesterday. He immediately asked Eunuch Chang to call the Regent and his wife, just to have Shangguan Ziling check on him.

Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling had just left Xianyang Palace. Mo Shaoxie looked at Shangguan Ziling with tenderness in his eyes: "Ling'er, you've worked hard all night, go back home and have some rest."

Shangguan Ziling looked a little tired. She had been using silver needles to remove toxins for the emperor yesterday. She was very tired and didn't rest much during the treatment. "Yeah."

The two held hands, left the palace, and got on the carriage. Along the way, Shangguan Ziling leaned in Mo Shaoxie's arms and fell asleep in a daze.

Mo Shaoxie looked down at the sleeping person in his arms lovingly, "Ling'er, do you know? Since I met you, my life has never been the same. After meeting you, I finally understood what true happiness is."

Mo Shaoxie gently held her in his arms, "Ling'er, I will spend the rest of my life protecting you and will not let you come to any harm." His voice was full of firmness and determination.

When the carriage arrived at the Regent's Palace, Mo Shaoxie picked up Shangguan Ziling and got off the carriage, heading back to Xinlingyuan.

Mo Shaoxie placed her gently on the bed and carefully tucked the quilt for her. His eyes were full of tenderness and affection, as if he wanted to integrate her into his own flesh and blood.

"Okay, Ling'er, sleep well." His voice was low and gentle, like a spring breeze blowing across your cheek, making people intoxicated.

Shangguan Ziling frowned slightly in her sleep, as if responding to his words.

A warm feeling surged in Mo Shaoxie's heart. He gently left a kiss on her forehead, then turned and left Xinlingyuan.

Mo Shaoxie came to the study. As soon as he entered the door, a cold aura hit him in the face. He no longer had the tenderness and affection he showed in front of Shangguan Ziling. He seemed like a different person.

Mo Feng, Xiao Zijin and Le Wenshu had been waiting in the study for a long time.

As soon as Mo Feng saw Mo Shaoxie, he immediately came forward and reported with a serious look: "Master, the soldiers of Xiliang have been provoking our border, and from time to time they rob the people on the border of their food and livestock. The people are suffering terribly."

Mo Shaoxie's eyes suddenly became sharp. He walked to the desk and sat down, tapping the table lightly with his hands.

"Does the Xiliang Kingdom want to provoke a war between the two countries?" There was a hint of coldness and danger in his voice.

Xiao Zijin echoed, "That's right, Your Majesty. Xiliang's recent actions have indeed become more and more rampant. I wonder where they get the confidence from?"

Mo Shaoxie was silent for a moment, then he said, "Pass the order down to strengthen border patrols and closely monitor the movements of Xiliang State."

"Yes, master." Mo Feng replied.

Le Wenshu and Xiao Zijin sat in the study of the Regent's Palace. The howling wind outside the window heralded the coming winter.

"Brother Le, why is it that the Xiliang Kingdom has become so bold recently and has been frequently provoking our border?" Xiao Zijin's eyes were flashing with doubt and puzzlement. He really couldn't understand why the Xiliang Kingdom chose to confront the Dongyue Dynasty head-on at this time.

Le Wenshu pondered for a moment, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound. "Yes, this is indeed puzzling. Logically, the Western Liang Kingdom should be recuperating now, so why would they choose to take the initiative to attack at this time?"

There was a hint of vigilance in his eyes. "I always feel that there might be some conspiracy."

Xiao Zijin nodded after listening to Le Wenshu's analysis. "Brother Le is right. We can't take it lightly. So what should we do? Should Your Majesty send troops to suppress it directly, or adopt other strategies?"

Le Wenshu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the distant sky, and pondered for a moment. "We can't be fooled easily. We must first find out the truth. I think Zijin should send some capable men to sneak into Xiliang Kingdom to find out their details. At the same time, as the prince said, strengthen the border defenses just in case."

Le Wenshu turned to look at Mo Shaoxie and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Mo Shaoxie said in a cold voice: "Zi Jin sent people to sneak into Xiliang Kingdom secretly, and sent people to Nanchu at the same time."

Le Wenshu said: "Your Highness, do you suspect that the provocations by Xiliang Kingdom during this period are in collusion with Nanchu?"

After listening to Le Wenshu's words, Xiao Zijin said, "This... this is possible. Although Xiliang has some ambitions, it has little chance of winning against us alone. If it forms an alliance with Nanchu..."

Mo Shaoxie said in a cold voice: "The secret guards sent a letter saying that Xiliang Kingdom and Nanchu have had secret contact recently."

The few of them talked for a while in the study before Mo Shaoxie left.

Le Wenshu watched Mo Shaoxie's back disappear out the door, and a feeling of heaviness and worry surged in his heart.

He knew that this war would come sooner or later, and the people would suffer in the end...

After Mo Shaoxie left the study, he went straight back to Xinlingyuan, entered the room, and saw the person still sleeping soundly on the bed. His expression softened and he walked over very quietly, took off his outer robe, shoes and socks, got on the bed, hugged Shangguan Ziling, and closed his eyes to rest.

It was not until noon that Shangguan Ziling slowly woke up. The first thing she saw was Mo Shaoxie's face. Shangguan Ziling's hand was stroking Mo Shaoxie's face.

The little fat man in the space complained: "Master, you are such a fangirl now!"

Shangguan Ziling retorted: "I'm my own man, so what if I'm a bit of a fangirl?"

Little Fatty: "Are you still the master I know?"

"Little Fatty, don't doubt it, I am still the master you are familiar with."

The little fat man said: "But the current owner has completely changed, okay?"
