The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 297

After Shangguan Ziling had eaten her fill, she went out with Mo Shaoxie.

Along the way, the victims greeted them warmly when they saw them, with gratitude and joy on their faces.

They knew that it was Shangguan Ziling who developed the medicine to cure the plague, allowing them to regain their lives; and Mo Shaoxie even ordered people to rebuild a house for them so that they had a place to settle down.

The two men walked through the disaster-stricken area and came to an empty area at the back, where they saw the secret guards, yamen runners, guards and many disaster victims they brought with them, all busy building houses.

They were either carrying wood, or building walls with bricks, or working hard and sweating profusely.

The faces of the victims were filled with smiles of new life.

Shangguan Ziling looked at all this and couldn't help feeling gratified and proud.

She knew that these disaster victims had experienced countless hardships and tortures, but now, they finally had hope and light.

Mo Shaoxie was also watching all this and said softly: "Ling'er, it's all thanks to you that the plague has not spread. It's also Ling'er who worked day and night to develop a good medicine to solve the plague."

When Shangguan Ziling heard his words, a hint of emotion and warmth flashed in her eyes.

She snuggled up to Mo Shaoxie and whispered, "In fact, ordinary people are easily satisfied. As long as they have enough food and warm clothes and there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, they are easily satisfied. However, some people take the lives of these innocent people and treat them as if they were their own. They really deserve to die!"

"Ling'er, I will not let them go."

"Ok".

The two walked side by side in the crowd, feeling the joy and happiness.

The disaster victims around them also saw the two of them and stopped what they were doing and bowed to them to express their gratitude.

Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie smiled and nodded in response.

Guo Fusi slowly approached Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling, with a somewhat awkward look on his face. He bowed his head slightly, bent over and saluted respectfully, and said, "This subordinate greets the prince and princess."

Mo Shaoxie nodded slightly, motioning him to stand up. His eyes were deep and majestic.

Guo Fusi stood up and said, "Your Highness, I have sent runners back to the county to explain to the people in the city that the plague here has been eradicated." Guo Fusi reported carefully, fearing that his words might be wrong.

Mo Shaoxie frowned slightly after hearing his words. He knew that the outbreak of the plague had brought great panic and suffering to the people.

Shangguan Ziling was listening at the side and couldn't help but feel emotional in her heart, "Fortunately, it was controlled in time and the plague did not spread, otherwise the consequences would be very serious."

"Your Highness is right." Guo Fusi nodded, and the tension in his heart eased a little.

Mo Shaoxie said calmly: "The next step is to build homes for these disaster victims so that they can settle down."

Shangguan Ziling added: "Lord Guo doesn't have to worry about money and food."

"Yes, I will do my best to handle it," Guo Fusi said.

Mo Shaoxie continued walking with Shangguan Ziling.

At this moment, the disaster victims around them began to discuss quietly. They looked at Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling from afar, their eyes full of respect and gratitude.

"The Prince Regent and his wife are such a perfect match!" a disaster victim exclaimed.

"That's right. If it weren't for the Regent Princess, we would all be dead." Another disaster victim echoed.

"Yes! Yes, the Regent Princess is beautiful and kind-hearted, she is truly a living Bodhisattva!" another disaster victim exclaimed.

Mo Shaoxie held Shangguan Ziling's hand, and their figures looked particularly harmonious and beautiful in the sunlight, as if they were a pair of immortal lovers.

Shangguan Ziling stood on the ruins, looking at the homeless victims, and couldn't help feeling heavy in her heart.

She knew that these disaster victims would need a large amount of silver to rebuild their homes, and she had a lot of money in her space, but she didn't want to let the royal family get away with it. The emperor was the ruler of a country, and the people were suffering from the disaster, so he should allocate silver from the national treasury.

"The victims need money to rebuild their homes. Although I have a lot of money in my space, I can't let the emperor get away with it. I have to ask him to transfer the money from the national treasury." Shangguan Ziling said with a frown.

"Ling'er, I'm afraid he can't even protect himself." Mo Shaoxie said indifferently.

Shangguan Ziling was stunned when she heard his words. She turned her head and looked at Mo Shaoxie, her eyes full of shock and confusion.

"Ah? What do you mean?" Shangguan Ziling asked anxiously, with a hint of urgency and gossip in her voice.

Mo Shaoxie looked at her shocked expression. He gently held Shangguan Ziling's hand and said softly, "The Emperor has been controlled by the Queen."

"This...how is this possible?"

"The queen joined forces with her mother's family to take control of the palace." Mo Shaoxie said softly.

Shangguan Ziling listened to his words and took a deep breath.

Shangguan Ziling shook her head gently, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of her mouth: "First, the eldest prince rebelled, and now it's the Queen and the Crown Prince's group. He is too cowardly as the Emperor!" There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, and she was very disgusted with the struggles within the royal family.

After hearing this, Mo Shaoxie was silent for a moment, then he slowly spoke: "The Queen is also forced into a corner. The Emperor abolished the Crown Prince's position and deprived the Queen of her power in the harem. Now, she wants to give it a try."

Shangguan Ziling turned her head and looked at Mo Shaoxie, with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Where is the Fourth Prince?"

Mo Shaoxie raised his eyebrows and did not answer her question directly. Instead, he changed the subject: "Ling'er is so smart." There was a hint of admiration and pampering in his words, as if he was praising her sharpness and intelligence.

Shangguan Ziling stared at Mo Shaoxie and asked, "Has the Fourth Prince returned to the capital?"

Mo Shaoxie looked at her determined eyes and knew that she had guessed something. He sighed softly and said, "Yes, the Fourth Prince has returned to the capital."

Shangguan Ziling felt nervous when she heard this. She immediately asked, "Where is my father? Will they be in danger?" Her voice revealed a trace of worry and anxiety. She always kept the safety of her family in mind.

Mo Shaoxie gently held her hand and comforted her, "The Prime Minister is the head of the civil officials and has absolute say. Nothing will happen. The Prime Minister's Mansion is secretly protected by secret guards." His words revealed a firmness and confidence, which made Shangguan Ziling feel a little more at ease.

Shangguan Ziling heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She leaned on Mo Shaoxie's shoulder and said softly, "As long as my parents and brother are fine, I'm not in a hurry no matter how they fight."

"Do you want the Fourth Prince to go back and fight the Queen and the Crown Prince? Can he do it?" Isn't the Fourth Prince's mother's family incompetent? Can they fight against the Queen's mother's family? Shangguan Ziling was a little confused.
