Cold King's Dominating Love, Genius Medical Consort

Chapter 45: Here to bring her back part 2

Long Xiao Li happily stood up from his seat and started to walk out. However,

he was stopped by a cold coughing sound, which wiped the smile off his face.

“Mu Zi Ling, why haven’t you gotten up?!” Long Xiao Yu’s voice traveled over

from where he stood.

The cold voice of his, flipped the hearts of all those at the dining table.

Only now did Long Xiao Li understand what was going on. He stared at Long

Xiao Yu heatedly, as if he wanted to chop him into many pieces. Earlier, he was

snubbed despite the fact that he was trying to convey good intentions.

Long Xiao Yu had completely ignored the meaning behind him putting food onto

Mu Zi Ling’s plate, and he didn’t even look at him. Instead, he was here to bring

Mu Zi Ling back. Didn’t Long Xiao Yu loathe woman? Why would he personally

come just to get Mu Zi Ling back? What was wrong with Long Xiao Yu today?

When the Empress heard Long Xiao Yu’s words, she showed no change of

expression, but had started tightly squeezing her hands under her sleeves.

Currently, her mood wasn’t much better off than Long Xiao Li’s

No matter how much she had planned, she had missed this one detail.

Long Xiao Yu actually cared about Mu Zi Ling... They probably have already

been good together before the feast! She should’ve noticed it earlier.

Back then when Long Xiao Yu had defended Mu Zi Ling, the Empress had

misunderstood his actions and thought he had just wanted to play along. What

she should’ve known was that Long Xiao Yu would never provoke the Empress

Dowager just for the sake of it.

The same man who had never stepped foot into the Royal Palace, had

decided come to the Kun Ning Palace today in order to take back Mu Zi Ling.

What was she supposed to do with her bowl of soup now?

She had never thought that she could be deceived by Long Xiao Yu cold face.

Not once had the thought that Long Xiao Yu would care for a woman other

than Yun Jin had crossed her mind.

Long Xiao Yu’s voice was overbearing and aggressive. It was natural that Mu

Zi Ling understood what was happening beneath the surface. Although she

couldn’t say for sure what she felt at the moment, she wished that Long Xiao

Yu wouldn’t play with her heart as much as he did.

Now that she knew Long Xiao Yu really was here for her, she hadn’t been

narcissistic earlier. Whether or not Long Xiao Yu was here to get her to see

another patient or cure another’s poison, she did not care.

Long Xiao Yu said that he wanted Mu Zi Ling to leave, but he did not ask the

Empress for permission. His action basically disregarded the Empress’

existence. In addition, Long Xiao Yu had said that he had something to do,

and he was clearly looking for Mu Zi Ling. In this circumstance, the Empress

would not be able to keep them here.

In a second her feelings had changed like a storm to a sunny day.

Mu Zi Ling wracked her brain about what to do with the bowl of soup in front

of her. She would really hate to part with it since it was such a great gift for

her violet toad.

Even if the violet toad wasn’t able to finish, she could still take the bugs out

and breed them as snacks for her violet toad.

Mu Zi Ling looked at the Empress’ kind and warm expression, then

shamelessly asked, “Mother, do you mind if your daughter-in-law brings this

bowl of soup back with her to enjoy back home? The soup’s aroma is just too

fragrant, your daughter-in-law really wants to taste it.”

The eunuchs and palace maids were all very confused. It was just a bowl of

soup. Didn’t the rich Qi King’s Manor have a bowl of soup? Why would the

Princess start asking it from the Empress?

When Long Xiao Li heard Mu Zi Ling’s words, he retracted his hazy gaze. He

was also very confused. Did that bowl of soup really smell that good?

If it it was a normal day, he would know the meaning behind the Empress

inviting someone to dinner. However, since Long Xiao Yu showed up, he didn’t

have the mood to wonder if there was anything wrong with the bowl of soup

anymore.

Mu Zi Ling understood that now that the Empress knew why Long Xiao Yu was

here, she must be angered half to death. At the right moment, she didn’t forget

to “kindly” ask the Empress for the bowl of soup.

She knew that the Empress wanted her to drink this bowl of soup, however, she

didn’t know if the Empress would let her take the bowl of soup home. She knew

that the Empress would naturally know that this bowl of soup was still very hot.

It would be impossible to drink quickly, and if she drank it slowly, then she would

have to make Long Xiao Yu wait.

In addition ever since the start, she had revealed no expressions that implied

she didn’t want to drink the bowl of soup. She was smiling the whole time, so the

Empress should agree to her request. Right?

Just as expected, when the Empress heard these words, her mood got better

and she sincerely smiled, “Since Ling’er likes it so much, then she can bring it

back with her.”

Although the Empress was still doubtful if Mu Zi Ling really did like the bowl of

soup, since she asked for it herself, then there was still a chance. She would

not let this chance go to waste.

Other than an experienced poisonous bug owner, no one else would be able to

find anything wrong with this bowl of soup.

She was not worried about whether Mu Zi Ling wanted to test the bowl of soup

for poison or if she really wanted to drink it, because she knew that it wouldn’t

be easy for Mu Zi Ling to detect the poison.

Just because in this moment the Empress didn’t think that Mu Zi Ling would be

able to do anything to the bowl of poison, she would end up regretting her

decisions later on.

“Thank you mother-in-law,” said Mu Zi Ling smiling happily. She liked the

Empress’ straightforwardness a lot. Who cared if the Empress was very sinister?

The gift that the Empress had prepared for her violet toad left her very pleased.

She poured the bowl of soup back into its original container, then she purposely

left the handkerchief that she used to push her plate away on the desk. After

she asked the Empress to be excused, she followed Long Xiao Yu with the

container of soup and left.

Long Xiao Li had seen every single move that Mu Zi Ling made, so he naturally

also saw the handkerchief that Mu Zi Ling had left on the table. However, he

didn’t remind Mu Zi Ling that she had forgotten something.

He waited until Mu Zi Ling was gone before he picked up the handkerchief and

smelt it. It was full of a young girl’s scent. As he smelled the handkerchief, he

started to feel drunk and intoxicated.
