Chapter 212 Don't Move, I Won't Touch You Tonight
Mo Shaoxie stopped in front of the gate of the Regent's Palace. After instructing his men to handle the subsequent matters, he rushed back to the palace without stopping.
The palace was peaceful and tranquil. Sunlight shone through the delicate lattice windows, casting mottled shadows on the courtyard.
Shangguan Ziling was lying on the couch, enjoying a rare leisure time. Her face was filled with a faint smile, as if she was in another world, at peace with the world.
Mo Shaoxie walked into the courtyard, and the moment he saw Shangguan Ziling, a warm current surged in his heart. He waved away the others, slowly walked to the small couch, and sat beside her.
"You're back?" Shangguan Ziling seemed to have noticed Mo Shaoxie's arrival. She opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Yeah." Mo Shaoxie nodded gently, his eyes full of tenderness and affection. He reached out and gently stroked Shangguan Ziling's cheek.
Shangguan Ziling slightly turned her head to avoid Mo Shaoxie's hand that was caressing her cheek. Then, she raised her eyes, a playful light flashing in her eyes, and looked at Mo Shaoxie with a smile.
Mo Shaoxie was slightly stunned, his hand hanging in the air, as if he had not expected Shangguan Ziling to react like this. He withdrew his hand, stared at her deeply, and a doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Mo Shaoxie suddenly reached out and picked up Shangguan Ziling horizontally. Her body was as light as a feather, as if she had no weight.
Shangguan Ziling was caught off guard and exclaimed, "Hey, let me go, what are you doing in broad daylight!" There was a hint of panic and dissatisfaction in her voice, but more of it was helplessness towards Mo Shaoxie's sudden behavior.
Mo Shaoxie seemed not to hear her protest, and walked straight to the bed with her in his arms. His steps were steady and powerful, as if every step contained deep emotion.
After gently placing Shangguan Ziling on the bed, Mo Shaoxie did not leave immediately. He stood by the bed, staring at her with passionate eyes.
Shangguan Ziling rolled over and rolled to the innermost part of the bed. She looked at Mo Shaoxie with a vigilant look on her face, as if she was on guard against his next move. Her eyes revealed a complex emotion, "Hey! Mo Shaoxie, it's broad daylight!"
Mo Shaoxie smiled softly, took off his coat, got on the bed and pulled the bed curtain.
Mo Shaoxie's voice was low and magnetic. He gently called Shangguan Ziling's name: "Ling'er." As he called, his kiss gently fell on Shangguan Ziling's lips. It was a gentle and affectionate kiss, full of love and commitment.
But deep inside the palace, the atmosphere was completely different. The queen sat on the dragon throne, her face gloomy, her eyes revealing a kind of coldness and anger.
"Where is the Regent Princess?" the Queen asked coldly.
The maid knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly, "Reply, reply to the Queen, I didn't even see the Regent Princess. The Princess's maid said that the Regent stayed up too late last night and the Princess was not feeling well. She will go to the palace to see the Queen another day."
The Queen's expression became even gloomier. She shouted angrily, "How dare you! Another day? Who does she think she is? Does she really think she is the Regent Princess?!"
Jun Yaotian on the side gnashed his teeth and said, "Mother, Shangguan Ziling is now married to the Regent, and she is even more arrogant. She even beat me and forced me to sign an IOU. How despicable!" His tone was full of anger and humiliation, and it was obvious that his hatred for Shangguan Ziling was deep in his bones.
After hearing this, the queen's face became even worse. She looked at Jun Yaotian and said, "Yao'er, don't worry, your mother will definitely seek justice for you. That bitch Shangguan Ziling, does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she has hooked up with the regent? She is too naive!" As she spoke, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, as if she was already planning how to deal with Shangguan Ziling.
Mo Shaoxie carefully arranged Shangguan Ziling's clothes, his fingers gently sliding across the fabric, as if playing a silent movement. Shangguan Ziling sat in the corner of the carriage, she looked at Mo Shaoxie with a complicated look, and rolled her eyes.
This man is such a bastard. Mo Shaoxie tormented her for the entire afternoon, and now she even finds it difficult to move her hands.
Mo Shaoxie just smiled slightly, with a hint of pride and satisfaction in his smile. He was as happy as a child who got his favorite toy.
"Ling'er, aren't you happy too?" Mo Shaoxie asked back, his tone revealing a cynical attitude.
Shangguan Ziling couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this. She really didn't know how to respond to this man's shamelessness. She was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so she closed her eyes and tried to take a rest.
Mo Shaoxie gently stretched out his hand and held her in his arms. His embrace was warm and solid, as if it could bring her comfort and strength.
"Don't move, have a good rest. Ling'er, have a good rest tonight, and I won't touch you." Mo Shaoxie said in a low voice, his voice was gentle and low, like a spring breeze, and there was some heartache in his eyes.
Because of the man's evil deeds in the afternoon, Shangguan Ziling originally wanted to refuse his approach, but in his arms, she felt an inexplicable sense of security and comfort. Her body gradually relaxed, and her consciousness began to blur. Finally, she fell asleep in Mo Shaoxie's arms.
The carriage continued to move forward, and the lights in the carriage flickered. Mo Shaoxie quietly hugged Shangguan Ziling, his eyes deep and gentle.
Mo Shaoxie said softly: "Mo Feng, let's go home."
Mo Feng, who was driving the carriage, was surprised. He didn't understand why his master suddenly changed his mind and didn't want to go to the palace to attend the banquet.
Mo Shaoxie sat in the carriage, his eyes deep and gentle, completely immersed in the sleeping face of the person in his arms. He gently stroked her hair, as if he was admiring a priceless treasure.
"Master, aren't we going to the palace to attend the banquet?" Mo Feng couldn't help but ask again, a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Mo Shaoxie looked up, glanced at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Shut up, stop talking nonsense, go back." His words revealed an unquestionable majesty, which made Mo Feng dare not say anything more.
Mo Feng shuddered and hurriedly reined in the carriage. He did not dare to disobey his master's order, so he could only turn around and drive back. The carriage traveled through the night, and the sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet streets, as if telling an unusual story.
Mo Shaoxie lowered his head again, and continued to immerse himself in the sleeping face of the person in his arms. His eyes were full of tenderness and love, as if he was guarding the most precious treasure in the world. For him, this night was destined to belong to the two of them, and no one could disturb their tranquility and happiness.
