The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 84: Early morning, the emperor is furious

Mo Shaoxie frowned and looked at the bruises on Shangguan Ziling's arms when she drank water. He knew that she was learning Qinggong in the afternoon and that she had fallen countless times. But when he saw the bruises on her arms, he couldn't help but feel distressed, so he strode over.

He picked her up horizontally. Shangguan Ziling was shocked. "Ah, Mo Shaoxie, what are you crazy about?"

Mo Shaoxie had a gloomy and ugly look on his face. He carried her to the bed and sat down. He said with suppressed anger: "Ling'er, don't learn light skills anymore. I'm here. You don't need to do that. I will protect you."

Shangguan Ziling looked at him blankly. It turned out that this man was worried about her. However, she learned Qinggong just because she liked it.

Mo Shaoxie gently rolled up her sleeves, looked at the bruises on her arm, and said with concern: "Ling'er, where is your medicine? Where is it? I will apply the medicine to you."

"Um, well, I'm fine."

Mo Shaoxie stared at Shangguan Ziling, just stared at her. Shangguan Ziling couldn't stand his look and said, "I have medicine in my bag."

Mo Shaoxie stretched out his hand and pulled it over. He rummaged in his bag for a while, took out a bottle, and said, "This?"

Shangguan Ziling took a look and said "hmm". This was diluted spiritual spring water and was placed in the shoulder bag for use.

Mo Shaoxie took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped her gently. Shangguan Ziling was very sleepy. She yawned and fell asleep in Mo Shaoxie's arms.

Mo Shaoxie wiped and rubbed her arms, his movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting her.

Mo Shaoxie heard her even breathing and looked down. The woman in his arms had fallen asleep at some point.

Mo Shaoxie had no other thoughts at the moment, and was only thinking about whether there were any bruises on Ling'er's body.

Mo Shaoxie just looked at her quietly for a long time. Ling'er was his anyway and he would be responsible for her. Thinking of this, Mo Shaoxie gently unbuttoned her underwear and checked if there were any other bruises on her body.

Seeing bruises on her shoulders and back, I felt even more distressed, so I applied medicine and rubbed the skin gently.

"Hmph, what a unnecessary effort. If you hadn't come suddenly, the master would have drunk the spiritual spring water and had a good sleep and would have been fine."

"Oh, he took advantage of the master. However, the Regent didn't know that the water in his hand was the master's diluted spiritual spring water. He thought it was medicine. It will be okay when the master wakes up tomorrow."

"Don't look at what is inappropriate, don't look at what is inappropriate, I'd better not look at it," the little fat boy muttered in the space.

After applying the medicine on her upper body, Mo Shaoxie put on her underwear, carefully put her on the bed, rolled up her pants, and applied the medicine on her legs and rubbed them gently.

Shangguan Ziling moaned in comfort, and Mo Shaoxie picked up her little feet and kneaded them gently.

His daughter Ling'er's feet were so small that they could be covered by his hands.

After kneading her for a while, Mo Shaoxie reluctantly let her go, covered her with the quilt, and kissed her lips gently, like a dragonfly touching the water.

Mo Shaoxie gently took out a bracelet carefully wrapped in a soft silk handkerchief from his bosom. The bracelet was crystal clear, as if it was carved from the purest crystal, reflecting charming light under the sun. He stared at the bracelet in his hand, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at the person sleeping on the bed. She was sleeping soundly, her face was quiet and sweet, like a sleeping flower. Mo Shaoxie stared at her quietly, his eyes full of love and protectiveness.

He slowly reached out his hand and gently stroked her hand. Her hand was soft and delicate, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He carefully lifted her hand and gently put the crystal clear bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet sparkled on her wrist, complementing her skin, as if they were made for each other. Mo Shaoxie looked at her, his heart filled with satisfaction and happiness. He gently stroked her hand and whispered something in her ear.

At this moment, the room was filled with a quiet and warm atmosphere.

It was almost dawn when Mo Shaoxie got up and left.

Mo Shaoxie returned to the Regent's Palace. He just entered the study and sat down, rubbing his brows. Mo Feng came in and reported: "Master, there is a message from Jiangnan. Li Fengxian committed suicide out of fear of punishment and wrote a suicide note. He was the only one who did the smuggling of salt, and there was no one behind him."

Mo Shaoxie snorted coldly and said in a cold tone: "How is the investigation of the Nan family going? Is he a descendant of the Nan family?"

"No useful information has been found yet."

Mo Shaoxie said in a cold tone, "Sleepy Gu? Keep asking someone to investigate."

"Yes"

At the morning court session, the emperor also learned the news that Yu Wei had sent back by pigeon, and he was furious.

The emperor looked at the secret letter in his hand and said angrily, "He committed suicide out of fear of punishment. What a person who did it."

It was eerily quiet in the hall.

The emperor looked at the eldest prince Jun Yaoqi below and said, "Yaoqi, you nominated this person, what do you think?"

Jun Yaoqi bowed and said, "Father, this man is corrupt and commits smuggling of salt. He deserves death. I was deceived by his appearance at the beginning. I was wrong."

The emperor snorted coldly, picked up the memorial on the dragon table and threw it at Jun Yaoqi.

Jun Yaoqi knelt down with a look of panic on his face and said, "Father, please calm down."

All the ministers in the hall knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

The emperor was very angry, his face was gloomy and his eyes were full of anger and disappointment.

He slapped the dragon chair hard and roared loudly: "After Li Fengxian took office as the governor of Jiangnan, he was corrupt and perverted the law, making the people live in dire straits.

He was so bold as to smuggle salt, completely ignoring the authority of the court. You, as the eldest prince, are so ignorant of people that you recommend such a person with bad intentions to be the governor of Jiangnan. Now, you, the eldest prince, go back to me and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. You are not allowed to attend court in the near future!"

The emperor's face suddenly turned pale. He knelt on the ground in panic and shouted hurriedly, "Father!" His voice was full of fear and anxiety. It was obvious that he did not expect his father to make such a decision for him.

The emperor's face was livid and his eyes were flashing with flames of anger.

He slammed the dragon chair again, and the emperor said, "Li Fengxian took office as the governor of Jiangnan, but he was so bold and reckless. He not only smuggled salt, took bribes and perverted the law, but also privately increased taxes on the people, making them miserable! Eunuch Chang, draft an edict to confiscate Li Fengxian's property and exile his clansmen to Mobei!"

In the study of the Prince Regent's Palace, Xiao Zijin said nonchalantly, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Li Fengxian committed suicide out of fear of punishment? It's obvious that he was silenced."

Xiao Zijin added: "The emperor only asked the eldest prince to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors and not to attend court in the near future. He should be treated with caution."

Le Wenshu shook his fan and said, "This is all expected. It's not surprising, not surprising."
