The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 341

Shangguan Ziling almost forgot the passage of time while preparing the antidote.

She weighed the various herbs precisely, then carefully placed them in a mortar and ground them finely with a pestle.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead, but she was unaware of it and was fully focused on the process of preparing the medicine.

Finally, after an hour of hard work, she finally prepared the antidote for the black bird poison.

They were crystal clear pills, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, as if they contained the essence of life.

Shangguan Ziling looked at the antidote she had prepared herself, and couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in her heart.

She asked Qiu Kui to take the antidote and distribute it to the secret guards.

Qiu Kui took the antidote and distributed it to the poisoned secret guards.

The secret guards looked at the crystal clear pills in their hands, with a hint of gratitude in their eyes.

After preparing the antidote, Shangguan Ziling asked Qiu Kui and Dong Qing to guard outside while she lay on the small couch to rest.

She closed her eyes and felt the warmth gradually surging inside her body, knowing that it was a sign that the antidote was beginning to take effect.

She couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but at the same time she couldn't help but think of Yun Youyou.

Shangguan Ziling finally sighed in her heart that their former friendship could never be restored!

Shangguan Ziling closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

In the study, Mo Feng said: "Master, the Xiliang spy we captured refused to talk. We used all kinds of torture methods on him, but he just refused to talk. He was very stubborn."

Mo Shaoxie said "hmm" and said "I understand."

Mo Shaoxie got up and returned to Xinlingyuan. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Shangguan Ziling taking a nap on the small couch.

Mo Shaoxie walked over slowly and sat on the small couch. As soon as Mo Shaoxie sat down, Shangguan Ziling opened her eyes.

Mo Shaoxie whispered, "Did I wake Ling'er up?"

Shangguan Ziling shook her head and said, "No, I just got enough sleep."

Mo Shaoxie gently stroked her face. Shangguan Ziling said, "By the way, how are the Xiliang spies doing? Have you found out anything? Have you found out who they are? Are there any more lurking in Dongyue?"

Mo Shaoxie looked gloomy and said, "You're being very stubborn and refuse to speak."

"Really? I have a way to make them speak up." Shangguan Ziling said.

"Oh? Ling'er, do you have any good ideas to make those spies speak obediently?" Mo Shaoxie raised his eyebrows.

Shangguan Ziling said arrogantly: "You will know soon."

Shangguan Ziling stood up, walked to the table, took out some medicinal herbs from the space, and started tinkering with them again.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her curiously. However, with the trauma of his previous help, he did not dare to help. He just stood aside and watched Shangguan Ziling busy herself.

After a while, Shangguan Ziling took a bottle of black pills and shook it in front of Mo Shaoxie, "Yes! Done!" Shangguan Ziling said with a smile.

Mo Shaoxie raised his eyebrows and said, "Ling'er, what kind of pills are in this porcelain bottle?"

Shangguan Ziling said: "A pill that makes people tell the truth, a truth pill."

Mo Shaoxie was surprised and asked, "A pill that makes people tell the truth?"

Shangguan Ziling said proudly: "Well, give it to the Xiliang spies, and then we won't be afraid that they won't tell the truth."

Mo Shaoxie looked at Shangguan Ziling's arrogant appearance, smiled dotingly, reached out to take the porcelain bottle, and said: "I will ask someone to try it."

Shangguan Ziling said: "I'll go too."

Mo Shaoxie frowned and said, "Ling'er, the dungeon is dark and damp, and the smell is bad. Just wait for me in the room obediently, and I will be back soon."

"No, I want to go with you and see the power of my truth pill." Shangguan Ziling said.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her for a while, and seeing that she insisted, he nodded: "Okay!"

Mo Shaoxie took Shangguan Ziling to a rockery in the Regent's Palace. Mo Feng went forward and fiddled with it for a few times, and a door immediately appeared on the rockery.

Mo Shaoxie led Shangguan Ziling in. After entering, there was a long path. There were candles on the walls on both sides, emitting faint light. The dungeon was dark and damp, and there were gusts of cold wind, which gave Shangguan Ziling goose bumps.

Shangguan Ziling glanced at the people imprisoned in each dungeon. They had numb expressions and empty eyes.

Mo Shaoxie didn't stop until they arrived at the prison door of Guanxi Liang's spies. He gave Mo Feng a look, then turned around and walked to the execution place with Shangguan, where they both sat on chairs.

Shangguan Ziling looked at these execution instruments curiously.

Mo Feng immediately ordered his men to open the prison door, force the Xiliang spies out, and bring them to the execution ground, where he tied them to pillars.

Mo Shaoxie threw the porcelain bottle to Mo Feng and said coldly: "Give it to him."

Mo Feng took the porcelain bottle, opened it, poured out a pill, and came to a Xiliang spy.

The Xiliang spy looked at him warily, but Mo Feng roughly pried open his mouth and forcefully fed him the liquid.

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly, "Don't worry, it's not poison. It's medicine that makes you tell the truth."

The Xiliang spy looked at her in horror, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes. A medicine that tells the truth? Is it really that magical?

He remembered the torture he had suffered before and his body trembled involuntarily.

Shangguan Ziling turned to Mo Shaoxie and said, "The next step is to see how effective the medicine is."

"Ok".

After a while, the Xiliang spy's expression began to change, and his eyes became blurred but real.

Shangguan Ziling looked at his changes and her heart was moved. She knew that the drug had begun to take effect.

"Tell me, do you have any accomplices in Dongyue Imperial City?" Shangguan Ziling asked.

The Xiliang spy was silent for a while, as if struggling with something, "Yes..." His voice was low and trembling.

The woman who was tied up nearby looked terrified and said, "Wake up, don't say anything."

Mo Feng whipped the woman, and she groaned.

Shangguan Ziling looked at the tied-up Xiliang spy woman and said jokingly: "Don't be impatient, it will be your turn soon."

"Tell me, how many accomplices are there in Dongyue Imperial City? How do you usually contact each other?" Shangguan Ziling continued to ask.

The Xiliang spy's eyes became even more confused. "There are more than twenty people. They usually contact me through carrier pigeons..."

"Tell me the names of all of them without missing one." Shangguan Ziling frowned.

The Xiliang spy told everything without missing a single word, and Mo Feng took a pen and ink to write it down.

Mo Shaoxie's face was gloomy and ugly. He thought that he had sent secret guards to monitor and control these Xiliang spies, but he didn't expect that there were so many of them hiding in the various ministers' mansions in the imperial city.

The woman lowered her head in despair. They had endured so much torture and survived without revealing a single piece of information. They didn't expect that they would tell everything now. Wouldn't they have endured those tortures in vain?
