The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 92: Prime Minister of the 2nd Dynasty

Shangguan Ziling made some more for her maids, and Chunxiao and Xia Yu were very happy.

Shangguan Ziling wrote down a few prescriptions for medicinal herbs and asked Dongqing to go out and buy them.

Shangguan Ziling took the medicinal herbs bought by Dong Qing and started fiddling with them in the room. She did not forget that this body could not drink much, so she had to prepare some pills.

Pour the spiritual spring water into the crushed medicine powder, stir evenly, and roll it into small pills. This way, you can take one pill before drinking in the future, and you won't be afraid of getting drunk.

What's the name? Hmm? Let's call it "Wake-up Pills"!

"Master, do you like drinking so much? Do you need sobering pills just for drinking?"

"Little Fatty, I was alone in my previous life. Every New Year, I watched other families gather together and eat New Year's Eve dinner, but I could only drink alone. At that time, I wanted to get drunk, but I couldn't get drunk no matter how hard I tried. Now I have a new body, a father and a brother, and I get drunk as soon as I drink. Tell me, is God playing a trick on me?"

"Owner……"

"I came to this world and have relatives, but they asked me to be content with the status quo. What my father said today makes sense. I can't be content with the status quo anymore. I have to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

"Master, what do you want to do?"

"When people in ancient times faced danger, what was the worst thing they could do?"

"food?"

"Yes, food. From now on, I will store food and put it in the space. Anyway, it won't go bad in the space. Besides, I put a lot of gold bars in the space in my previous life. I am considered a rich woman. I want to exchange all these gold bars for food."

"Master, you have stored so much food, do those people still have food to eat?"

"I am storing food now, not buying all the food at once. But who should I ask to do this?" Shangguan Ziling then realized that there were too few people around her who could be used.

Shangguan Ziling thought of a person, Xiao Linzi, who worked in her outer courtyard. Xiao Linzi was very smart. Well, she could leave this matter to him.

Shangguan Ziling did what she said and called Xia Yu: "Go and call Xiao Linzi from the outer courtyard of the Jiangzi Courtyard."

Xia Yu let out an "ah".

"What? Go quickly, I have something for him to do."

"Oh, I'll go and ask Xiao Linzi to come over right away," Xia Yu ran out in a hurry.

After a while, Xiao Linzi followed Xia Yu in, "Miss, Xiao Linzi is here."

Xiao Linzi knelt down and said, "Xiao Linzi greets the young lady."

"Xiao Linzi, get up. I'm not kneeling just now."

"Thank you, Miss."

Shangguan Ziling glanced at Xia Yu and said, "Go out and close the door."

"Miss?"

"I have something to say to Xiao Linzi."

Xia Yu pouted, walked out and closed the door. She really didn't understand what the eldest lady wanted to say to Xiao Linzi, but she didn't let her know. Humph.

"Xiao Linzi, how much is a pound of rice?"

Xiao Linzi was stunned. "Miss, a pound of rice is ten cents." Although Xiao Linzi was curious why the young lady asked this, he still answered.

"Here are 1,000 taels of silver notes. You can use them to buy a courtyard outside. With the remaining money, you can buy rice and keep it there. Be careful to keep it away from moisture or it will go bad. Well, report to me every time you buy grain and take me to see it."

"Miss, I understand."

"Remember, don't tell anyone, no one, don't let anyone find out that I asked you to buy food."

Although Xiao Linzi didn't know what the young lady was going to do, he still assured her: "Don't worry, young lady, I know what to do, and I promise not to tell anyone."

"Well, let's go!"

"Yes." Xiao Linzi opened the door and walked out. As soon as he left the yard, he was stopped by Xia Yu. Xia Yu put his hands on his hips and glared at Xiao Linzi.

Xiao Linzi smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Hello Xia Yu, what are you doing?"

Xia Yu said aggrievedly: "Why did the eldest lady look for you? She didn't let me listen."

Xiao Linzi said exaggeratedly: "Xia Yu, you are not allowed to ask. The eldest lady has important things to tell us. If it is leaked out, you and I will be kicked out of the Crimson Purple Courtyard by the eldest lady. In serious cases, we will be kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Oh, that's so serious. Then go quickly and don't mess up what the young lady asked you to do, otherwise I won't forgive you."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Master, do you trust this little Lin so much?"

"He is the son of Manager Lin, a family-born child. He is a reliable person and quite smart. Let him try it first. It won't cause any trouble."

"Oh!"

As night fell, Shangguan Ziling washed up early and went to bed.

Hearing the noise outside the window, she curled her lips, stood up, put on a coat, walked to the window, opened it, and saw Mo Shaoxie standing by the window.

Mo Shaoxie said, "Ling'er, are you still angry with me?"

Shangguan Ziling shook her head and said, "I'm not angry."

"Really?"

"Um"

"Ling'er, I came here today to tell you that I will take you with me."

Shangguan Ziling looked up at him and said, "Didn't you ask me to go with you? Why did you suddenly want to take me with you?"

Mo Shaoxie said in a deep voice: "I am worried about you staying in the capital. I am afraid that after I leave, the emperor and the empress will summon you to the palace and cause trouble for you. Although going to Chongshan is also very dangerous, I will definitely protect you as long as I am here."

Shangguan Ziling rolled her eyes and snorted, "Oh, you just said during the day that you were afraid you wouldn't be able to take care of me, how come it's only been a short while and you're ready to protect me?"

Mo Shaoxie was also very conflicted. He didn't expect Ling'er to go through danger with him, and he was also worried about leaving her in the capital. Ling'er and he were engaged, and there were so many eyes staring at Ling'er. Even if he sent someone to protect her, what would happen if he was not there and Ling'er entered the palace? After much hesitation, he decided to let Ling'er go with him. At most, he would dispatch more secret guards to accompany her.

Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie's troubled face and asked, "When do we set off?"

"Ling'er, I'll finish the things at hand and set off in three days."

Shangguan Ziling leaned against the window and asked lazily, "How long will it take?"

Mo Shaoxie reached out his hand, touched her hair gently, and said, "At least one month, at most two months."

Shangguan Ziling frowned and said, "Then how should I tell my father? I've been away for so long, I don't know if my father will agree or not."

"Ling'er, don't worry. I will talk to the Prime Minister in person later and he will agree."

Shangguan Ziling glared at Mo Shaoxie and said, "If you wait any longer, my father might be asleep. And if you go there so late at night, you might scare my father!"

"Don't worry, the Prime Minister is still in the study and hasn't slept yet. When I came here, I took a look at him and wanted to tell you something, so I went to find the Prime Minister. Although the Prime Minister is not very old, he has been the prime minister of two dynasties. How could he be easily scared?"
