The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 375

After a night of madness, Shangguan Ziling did not wake up until noon.

Shangguan Ziling sat up suddenly, her eyes still a little hazy.

"Ling'er?" Mo Shaoxie's voice sounded in his ears. He sat beside the bed, looking at her quietly.

Shangguan Ziling turned her head and met Mo Shaoxie's eyes. "What time is it?" Her voice was a little hoarse.

"Noon." Mo Shaoxie replied, with a look of apology and heartache in his eyes. He was too crazy last night, and the thought of being separated from Ling'er for several months made him feel extremely reluctant.

Shangguan Ziling frowned, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier? I made an appointment with my mother and I have to set off today." There was a hint of anxiety in her tone.

Mo Shaoxie gently put his arm around her waist and said, "I have already sent someone to inform my mother-in-law. Please leave after lunch." His voice was low and gentle, as if he wanted to comfort her.

Shangguan Ziling felt a little more at ease after hearing his words. She looked at Mo Shaoxie, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and she snuggled in his arms.

"Okay, get up. Ling'er must be hungry." Mo Shaoxie said, and then he carried Shangguan Ziling out of bed and put on her clothes himself.

After getting dressed, Mo Shaoxie personally tied Shangguan Ziling's hair and drew her eyebrows. His movements were gentle and skillful, as if he was painting a beautiful picture for her.

Shangguan Ziling looked at him through the bronze mirror. He was particularly gentle today and did everything by himself.

After packing up, they walked out hand in hand. They came to the hall, where the food had already been prepared and the aroma filled the air.

After they sat down, they began to enjoy the sumptuous lunch.

After lunch, they went out and got into the carriage.

The carriage started slowly. Shangguan Ziling looked at the scenery outside and said, "Aren't we going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"My mother-in-law is already waiting at the city gate." Mo Shaoxie replied.

The carriage was driving on the wide street. Shangguan Ziling looked at the scenery outside the window, her heart full of anticipation and reluctance. She knew that after this separation, it might take a long time for her and Mo Shaoxie to meet again.

"Ling'er, once I have dealt with the border issues as soon as possible, I will go to the North Country to bring you back." Mo Shaoxie said suddenly, with some firmness and determination in his voice.

Shangguan Ziling leaned in his arms and said, "When we get to the North, I'll heal my grandfather and come back immediately to go to the battlefield with you."

Mo Shaoxie held her hand tightly, "Okay, I will wait for Ling'er. If I can finish my problem first, I will go to the North Country to pick up Ling'er." His voice was full of affection and commitment.

"Um"

The carriage slowly drove out of the city gate. Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie sat in the carriage, their hearts filled with reluctance.

The carriage was bumping on the road. Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie were sitting in the carriage, both silent and speechless.

By the time the carriage arrived at the city gate, the entire Prime Minister's family had been waiting there for a long time.

Mo Shaoxie then led Shangguan Ziling out of the carriage.

Shangguan Dong clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty."

Mo Shaoxie nodded.

Shangguan Dong looked at Shangguan Ziling and said, "Ziling, take good care of your mother along the way."

"Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Mom," said Shangguan Ziling.

Shangguan Zirun also stepped forward and said, "Mother, sister, take care on your journey!"

Beichen Xue said: "Run'er, Youyou lost her loved ones and her child, it's a big blow to her. You, you should comfort her."

Shangguan Zirun had a bitter look on his face and said, "Mother, I know. Mother, when Youyou gets better, I will take her to the north to meet my grandfather and others."

Beichen Xue nodded.

"Ling'er and mother-in-law, please get on the carriage. If it's too late, we may not reach the town before dark and we will have to sleep in the wild. The road will be difficult to travel in the heavy snow." Mo Shaoxie said, with some reluctance and worry in his voice.

Shangguan Dong also echoed: "Yes, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to travel when it gets dark."

Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue got on the carriage. Shangguan Ziling stuck his head out of the window and looked at Mo Shaoxie reluctantly, as if he wanted to engrave his figure in his heart.

"Mo Shaoxie," Shangguan Ziling said softly, her voice choked with sobs and reluctance. Shangguan Ziling waved to him.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her with deep eyes.

The carriage started slowly, and Mo Shaoxie watched the carriage going farther and farther away until it disappeared from his sight. He did not come back to his senses for a long time, his heart filled with reluctance and worry.

In the carriage, Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little heavy. Shangguan Ziling looked at her mother and said, "Mom, how is Youyou?" Her voice was filled with concern and worry.

Beichen Xue sighed, "Alas, she had gotten better after you saw her last time, but the general's mansion was holding a funeral, and Youyou cried all day long. No matter how we persuaded her, she fell ill again. The doctor saw her and said it was a heart disease."

Shangguan Ziling fell silent after hearing her mother's words. She knew that heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, and she had to let it go.

"Mom, time will dilute everything. After a while, maybe Youyou will be able to let it go," Shangguan Ziling said firmly.

Beichen Xue looked at her and sighed, "Oh! I hope so!"

The two chatted for a long time in the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly forward in the snow. Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue were sitting in the carriage. Beichen Xue said, "In this horrible weather, life is already difficult for the people. Xiliang and Nanchu have evil ambitions, and the people will probably suffer even more."

"Mother, let the Northern Kingdom send troops as well, form an alliance with Dongyue, and destroy Xiliang and Nanchu," said Shangguan Ziling.

Beichen Xue glared at Shangguan Ziling, "You say it easily, but who knows what the situation in the North Country is like now?"

Qiu Kui interrupted and said, "Princess, before we left, Mo Feng gave me a volume investigating the current situation in the Northern Kingdom and asked me to give it to you."

Shangguan Ziling heard this, took it, opened it and started reading.

Shangguan Ziling's brows furrowed more and more as she read. Beichen Xue asked anxiously, "Ziling, what's written on it? Show me!"

Shangguan Ziling raised her head, looked at Beichen Xue, and said, "Mother, the Northern Kingdom's court is almost entirely controlled by King Bei Lingxiao, and he has tremendous power."

Beichen Xue heard this with a gloomy look in her eyes, and said: "King Lingxiao and your grandfather are close friends regardless of age difference. In an accident, King Lingxiao saved your grandfather, and the two became close friends. Your grandfather found that he had unique insights into politics, and he solved the long-term food shortage in the Northern Kingdom, which was a great achievement.

Your grandfather made an exception and named him King Lingxiao, and sworn brothers with him. King Lingxiao is three years younger than your uncle, and is only forty-five this year.

I didn't expect him to be so ambitious and now he controls the court with tremendous power. Your grandfather trusted King Lingxiao very much back then, but I didn't expect that your grandfather would cultivate a wolf himself."
