The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 137 Back

Xue Zhiyan walked over excitedly, and with trembling hands he opened the exquisite box on the table. As the lid of the box was opened, a faint fragrance wafted out, filling the entire room.

When Xue Zhiyan saw the contents of the box, his eyes widened and he could hardly believe his eyes. The box contained the legendary Nether Flower, whose petals were a deep green, as if absorbing all the light and color, exuding a mysterious and charming aura.

"This, this, is really a Nether Flower! This, this is freshly picked? So fresh?" Xue Zhiyan stuttered, his tone full of shock and excitement. He stared at the Nether Flower in the box with his eyes wide open, not blinking.

Shangguan Ziling looked at Xue Zhiyan's expression and laughed in her heart. She knew that this Nether Flower was just picked from her own space, so it was so fresh. She smiled and said, "Doctor Xue, what other herbs do you think are missing to prepare the antidote?"

Xue Zhiyan came back to his senses and replied hurriedly: "Princess, I have collected the other herbs, but they are in the palace. I'm afraid I have to return to the palace to prepare the antidote." His tone revealed an eagerness and expectation, as if as long as he got this Nether Flower, he could save the prince's life.

Shangguan Ziling nodded to show her understanding, and then said: "Okay, then I will keep the Netherworld Flower first, and give it to you, Doctor Xue when I get back." She carefully put the Netherworld Flower back into the box, and handed it to the maid beside her for safekeeping.

Xue Zhiyan watched Shangguan Ziling's actions, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration. He knew the preciousness of this Nether Flower, and also knew how much effort the princess had made to save the prince. He quietly retreated, secretly praying in his heart that the prince's body would recover as soon as possible.

With this Nether Flower as one of the key medicinal ingredients, Xue Zhiyan believed that he would be able to successfully prepare an antidote to remove the toxins in the prince's body. He was also relieved that the poison in the prince's body could be completely removed.

Shangguan Ziling put the Netherworld Flower into the space so that it could keep fresh and she could take it out after returning.

Mo Shaoxie pulled Shangguan Ziling over and gently held her on his lap. His eyes were deep and gentle, as if he wanted to engrave her deeply in his heart. He lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear: "Ling'er."

Shangguan Ziling smiled happily when she heard this. She hugged Mo Shaoxie's neck and said happily: "Mo Shaoxie, when the poison in your body is eliminated, you don't have to worry about the toxins in your body erupting at any time." Her voice was full of joy. Shangguan Ziling was really happy for him.

"It's all thanks to Ling'er." Mo Shaoxie said softly, his tone full of gratitude and doting. He raised his head and stared deeply into Shangguan Ziling's eyes, as if he wanted to engrave her image in his memory forever.

Shangguan Ziling stuck out her tongue playfully when she heard that: "Haha, we still have to rely on Doctor Xue to prepare the antidote. But after you go back, please help me collect some books about medicinal materials. I want to study the medicinal materials in this world carefully. There are still many that I have never seen before." Her tone was full of curiosity and enthusiasm, as if she was full of desire to explore the unknown area.

"Okay, I'll have someone collect them for you when I get back." Mo Shaoxie agreed without hesitation. He knew Ling'er's love and persistence for medicinal herbs, and he was willing to provide her with all the support and help she could.

The two of them spent three days of warm time together in this remote farm. During these three days, Shangguan Ziling gave Dongqing acupuncture treatment every day. Her technique was skillful and precise, as if she could sense all the changes in Dongqing's body. After three days of treatment, Dongqing's condition finally improved significantly, and she was able to get out of bed and move around.

This morning, the sun shines through the windows and the air is filled with a fresh scent. The group prepares to set off for Beijing early.

The ice cubes in the carriage exuded a hint of coolness, which was in sharp contrast to the scorching heat outside. Shangguan Ziling lay on the cushion, her face slightly flushed, lying comfortably in the carriage. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her long eyelashes cast a light shadow under her eyes, giving people a quiet and tranquil feeling.

Mo Shaoxie sat aside, his figure looking tall and steady in the carriage.

Mo Shaoxie flipped through the book in his hand, reading it intently. His eyes were deep and bright, and he occasionally looked up at his Ling'er.

They walked for more than half a month, and experienced many ups and downs, but they remained calm and resolute. They returned to Beijing secretly, taking a small road, and did not encounter the assassination attempt on their way here.

When they finally arrived in the capital, the bustling sounds of the streets entered the carriage, breaking the previous tranquility. Shangguan Ziling opened her eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, she sighed softly, and murmured: "Finally back." Her voice was full of emotion and joy, as if she had released all her thoughts and expectations in this moment.

Mo Shaoxie heard her sigh and looked up at her, his eyes full of love and tenderness.

As the carriage slowly moved forward, they gradually blended into the bustle and prosperity of the capital. There were shops on both sides of the street, with a wide variety of goods on display; there was an endless stream of pedestrians, some rushing on their way, some strolling leisurely.

The carriage slowly drove over and stopped in front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mo Shaoxie looked at her with deep eyes, and at the same time, he gently picked up Shangguan Ziling who was lying on the cushion.

Shangguan Ziling looked into his deep eyes, which seemed to suck her in. Her face flushed slightly and her heart was beating "bang bang bang" as if it was out of control. After being with this man for so long, any of his random movements could make her heart beat faster. She was really becoming more and more useless.

Mo Shaoxie lowered his head and kissed Shangguan Ziling gently on the forehead. His movements were gentle and affectionate, as if expressing endless love and commitment. "Ling'er, wait for me to pick a good day to marry you." His voice was low and magnetic, and every word revealed his deep affection and determination for Shangguan Ziling.

Shangguan Ziling's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and said softly, "Hmm." Her voice was small and sweet, like a shy little bird responding to the call of her lover. She gently pushed Mo Shaoxie, then quickly got out of the carriage. Her movements were agile and graceful, like a dancing butterfly.

Looking at Shangguan Ziling's disappearing back, Mo Shaoxie's eyes revealed deep expectation. He said lightly: "Go back home." His voice revealed a kind of majesty and calmness.

"Yes." Mo Feng responded, and then drove the carriage away slowly. The carriage went farther and farther away, and finally disappeared behind the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
