Cold King's Dominating Love, Genius Medical Consort

Chapter 53 What? This King could not come? Part 2

“You are the Qi Princess, it’s normal for you to tell his highness about matters like this,” said Le Tian hastily trying to undo his mistake.

Unbeknownst to him, he was making the situation much worse.

“Mister Le Tian, I think you've been mistaken. The Qi King is the Qi King, and I am me. Me and his highness are merely strangers. Why should I inform him of this? Did you want me to ask him for protection?” Mu Zi Ling was so worked up that she even forgot to adress herself formally.

Why was Le Tian always trying to push her and Long Xiao Yu together?

What type of a person did Le Tian think Long Xiao Yu was? Le Tian probably knew the answer to that question way better than her. In Long Xiao Yu’s eyes, she was just the Empress Dowager’s tool to keep tabs on him. Why would Long Xiao Yu care about and protect her?

But for a reason she could not comprehend, her heart started to feel heavy as she tried to cut off her ties with Long Xiao Yu. She and Long Xiao Yu didn't originally have a relationship, so there were no feelings between each other. Yet if that was the case, then why did she still feel so bad?

Le Tian was so scared by Mu Zi Ling’s words that he didn’t even dare let out his breath. This was the first time that he started to hate himself for running his mouth lose. Why did he have to be so nosy and bother with a married couple? He could’ve just left and be fine.

He suddenly felt a rush of sorrow, and wanted to cry out a river. Why was it that while everyone else wanted an affair with the Qi King, the Qi Princes wanted to cut off all ties with him?

He was too horror-struck to let out another word. He knew the Yu Han Palace was normally cold, but now he felt like he was about to freeze to death.

He couldn't read Long Xiao Yu’s mind, but he knew that Long Xiao Yu cared about Mu Zi Ling. After what Mu Zi Ling said, he must be furious.

Yes, that was probably what happened.

Le Tian was willing to promise that if he said another word, the Qi Princess would come up with ten more excuses to cut off ties with Long Xiao Yu. If the Qi King kept listening to all that, then he was as good as dead.

“Haha… I probably got the wrong idea then. Rest well Princess, I will take my leave now,” rushed Le Tian with a fake smile.

The more that was said, the further he would dig his own grave. The only thing he could do now was leave while he still could.

He had already reached half of his goal, and he now knew that the Qi King did care about the Qi Princess. Although it was really dangerous, it was worth it. At least now he knew that Long Xiao Yu was actually attracted to females.

“I won't send you out then. Have a safe trip back, Mister Le Tian,” said Mu Zi Ling. The more she looked at it, the stranger Le Tian seemed.

Not only were Le Tian’s clothes messy, he also left after asking a few questions. Also, why did his smile look worse than as if he was crying?

Le Tian nodded and looked at Mu Zi Ling with sympathy. Princess, you should start wishing for good fortune. Then he left without looking at Long Xiao Yu or saying another word.

What Le Tian didn’t know, was that because he was too talkative and played with the Qi Princess to find out Long Xiao Yu’s true feelings, he would end up tragically tortured by the Qi Princess.

As Le Tian left, Mu Zi Ling felt that something was off. However, her eyes were so heavy that she didn’t even want to think much about it.

Mu Zi Ling laid down on the bed, pulled up the blankets, and started to sleep.

It was just as Mu Zi Ling closed her eyes, that she heard footsteps coming closer. At first, she thought that it was Xie bringing over food, so she disregarded it and didn’t get up.

“Xie, place the food on the table. I will eat it once I wake up,” trailed Mu Zi Ling, half asleep.

However, Xie didn’t reply. The footsteps didn’t stop either, instead, they got closer and closer.

“I am really tired right now, come,back later,” said Mu Zi Ling, trying to prevent Xie from pulling her out of bed.

However, there was still no response. Now Mu Zi Ling had a feeling that something was wrong. Xie’s foot steps did not sound like that.

These footsteps sounded like….

Mu Zi Ling shot open her eyes and got out of bed.

She furiously rubbed her eyes a few times. Oh god! Where her eyes okay?

Long Xiao Yu was staring at her from above. His scent of cold plum surrounded her.

Mu Zi Ling suddenly felt conscious. She lifted herself with her hands as she asked, “Long.. Your highness…. Why…… why are you here?”

The current situation was so strange that she felt scared to look at Long Xiao Yu. But then again, why was it strange for Long Xiao Yu to come in? Although this was where she slept, this was also Long Xiao Yu’s room. He could come whenever he wanted to.

He was probably just passing by, and was taking a look at her out of curiosity. He would leave after a bit, thought Mu Zi Ling naively.

Long Xiao Yu’s face was still as handsome and beautiful as before, but why did it seem colder than usual? It looked colder than the Ice Jade bed… It was so cold that it was difficult for one to breathe.

Was he about to get angry? Did someone anger him? Was he here to spill his anger on her? That couldn’t be right.

“What? Is this King not welcomed here?” asked Long Xiao Yu sharply. His voice was deep and clear, and he sounded very calm.

The calmer Long Xiao Yu looked, the more Mu Zi Ling worried. She didn’t provoke him, so why was he going to spill his anger on her?

Which stupid bastard was it that angered this cold faced king? Now she was the one who had to clean up the mess they made.

“You are, of course you are. This is your highness’ manor, you can go anywhere.” Mu Zi Ling wanted to cry.

Who did she offend to have this kind of luck? Why couldn’t she sleep in peace?
