The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 338

At this moment, Mo Shaoxie led a team of elite secret guards and hurried out of the gate of the capital. His face was solemn, and his eyes were shining with determination.

The secret guards followed Mo Shaoxie closely. Their figures appeared unusually agile and mysterious in the light of the night.

Not long after leaving the city, Mo Shaoxie pulled the reins of his horse, raised his hand, and signaled the secret guards to stop.

His eyes swept sharply across the distance, and at this moment, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded from afar, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Mo Shaoxie looked vigilantly at the place not far away, and the secret guards also became alert.

When he saw who was coming, Mo Shaoxie felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

He immediately urged his horse to meet them.

Shangguan Ziling saw Mo Shaoxie in the distance and thought she was hallucinating at first. When she was sure it was really Mo Shaoxie, her face suddenly became angry.

"Mo Shaoxie, what are you doing?" Shangguan Ziling shouted angrily, "Don't you know how badly you've been injured? Why are you running out here instead of staying at home to recuperate?"

Mo Shaoxie listened to Shangguan Ziling's scolding, but his heart was filled with warmth and joy. He knew that Shangguan Ziling was caring about him and worried about his safety.

"Ling'er, I..." Mo Shaoxie was about to explain when he suddenly realized that Shangguan Ziling seemed to be a little bit abnormal. There were bloodstains on her clothes and her face was so pale that it was distressing.

"Ling'er, you are hurt." A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in Mo Shaoxie's heart, and Mo Shaoxie swept his cold eyes towards Mo Feng and Mo Ying.

Mo Feng Mo Ying lowered his head.

Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie's nervous and concerned eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. "It's okay, I'm fine." She tried to make her voice sound calm and firm, "It's just some minor injuries, it's not a big deal. But you, why did you run out instead of taking good care of yourself?"

"Minor injury?" Mo Shaoxie's face became even gloomier. "Do you think I'm a fool? How can such a heavy bloodstain be a minor injury?"

Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie's increasingly stern eyes and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

No, wasn't she angry that he ran out? Why did she feel guilty when she looked into the eyes of this man?

"Okay, okay." Shangguan Ziling quickly comforted him, "Let's go home first. We're exhausted. We'll talk when we get home."

Mo Shaoxie looked at her tired little face without saying anything. He appeared behind Shangguan Ziling, and the two of them rode away on a horse.

Shangguan Ziling leaned her back in Mo Shaoxie's arms, enjoying his warmth. She had also suffered considerable internal injuries. Now leaning in Mo Shaoxie's arms and relaxing, she felt very tired and fell asleep unknowingly.

Mo Shaoxie noticed that Shangguan Ziling's breathing was even, and slowly controlled the horse to run slower, for fear of shaking her while she was sleeping.

All the way back to the Regent's Palace, Mo Shaoxie gently picked up Shangguan Ziling and returned to Xinlingyuan.

Mo Shaoxie gently placed Shangguan Ziling on the bed, then sat beside the bed, staring at her sleeping face quietly.

He reached out and gently stroked Shangguan Ziling's cheek, feeling her warmth.

Shangguan Ziling moved in her sleep and mumbled something.

Mo Shaoxie leaned in closer to listen, and only heard her say: "Mo Shaoxie, you big fool..."

Mo Shaoxie couldn't help but smile. He gently kissed Shangguan Ziling on the forehead and said softly, "Have a good rest, my beloved Ling'er."

After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave the room. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

Mo Shaoxie turned around and glanced at the person on the bed gently, then turned around and walked out of the room and closed the door.

In the study, Mo Shaoxie was sitting alone at the desk.

He was wearing a black brocade robe with wide sleeves that fluttered gently in the wind, making him look taller and more majestic. His face was ashen, his brows were furrowed, and he exuded a cold air. The atmosphere in the study seemed depressing and heavy.

Mo Shaoxie played with the antique in his hand with a deep look in his eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

Mo Shaoxie was slightly stunned, and raised his head, only to see the door of the study being pushed open and Xue Zhiyan hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, let me take a look at your injuries." Xue Zhiyan said anxiously when he saw Mo Shaoxie.

Mo Shaoxie shook his head and said, "No need, my injuries are no longer serious." Although his voice was calm, Xue Zhiyan could still hear a hint of fatigue and discomfort in his words.

"My lord..."

Mo Shaoxie looked at Xue Zhiyan indifferently, and Xue Zhiyan didn't say anything more when he saw this.

He knew Mo Shaoxie's character. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it, so he quietly withdrew.

The study room regained its peace and quiet again. Mo Shaoxie put down the antique in his hand and tapped the desk with his fingers.

Mo Shaoxie had a cold face and asked in a cold voice: "How is the investigation going?"

A secret guard appeared in the study room in an instant and said respectfully, "We have found out that the murderer of General Yun is a Xiliang spy lurking in the capital. We have found out where they are staying, but they noticed and left early. We are tracking them now."

Mo Shaoxie said coldly: "Clear out all the Xiliang spies in the capital."

"Yes".

Mo Shaoxie gave down one order after another, then stood up and returned to Xinlingyuan.

After entering the room and looking at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, his expression softened.

He took off his coat, shoes and socks, and lay down on him. Shangguan Ziling seemed to sense something and rolled into his arms, nudging him.

Mo Shaoxie raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her with deep eyes. When he saw the bloodstains on her clothes, his expression turned a little ugly.

Carefully stripping off her clothes, leaving only a bellyband, Mo Shaoxie's breathing became heavy for a moment, suppressing his inner restlessness and carefully checking her injuries.

When Mo Shaoxie saw that there was a faint palm print on Shangguan Ziling's back and her face looked ugly again, and the sword wound on her arm had healed and new pink flesh was slowly growing, Mo Shaoxie felt heartbroken.

Mo Shaoxie gently touched her nose and murmured, "Silly girl, do you still need me to avenge you? I was just careless for a moment. I will never hurt myself again, and I will never let others hurt Ling'er."

Mo Shaoxie held Shangguan Ziling in his arms and slowly transferred his internal energy to her.
