Chapter 54: This King does not allow part 1


Mu Zi Ling started to resent whoever made Long Xiao Yu so angry. They better not let her find out they were, otherwise, she would definitely let them have a taste of her honey dew and watch as bees and butterflies swamped them.


The only thing she could do now was only beg and hope for good fortune.


Long Xiao Yu lowered his head and body to get closer to Mu Zi Ling.


“This King’s palace?” asked Long Xiao Yu returning the question back at Mu Zi Ling. His expressions hasn't changed, and his tone did not reveal any emotions.


Mu Zi Ling withdrew her neck as Long Xiao Yu got closer to her, she started nodding her head like a chicken pecking rice.


“Yes… Yes, this is your highness’ palace. You can come whenever you want. This wife has spoken too much.”


Right now, all Mu ZI Ling really wanted to do was cover her head with the blanket. What the eyes didn’t see, the heart didn’t grieve over. She would rather suffocate to death with the blanket, than scared to death by Long Xiao Yu’s chilling eyes.


The calmer Long Xiao Yu was, the more hysterical Mu Zi Ling felt. Why was Long Xiao Yu spilling his anger on her, when he was angered by someone else? Where was his decency?!


“Since this is this King’s palace, then why is there an stranger here?” said Long Xiao Yu calmly as he got closer to her.


When Mu Zi Ling heard what he said, she was so startled that she couldn’t say anything.


Stranger? It was only her and him here. Was Long Xiao Yu trying to say that she was a stranger? Wait… why did these words sound so familiar? Wasn’t she and Le Tian just talking about something like that?


Mu Zi Ling instantly felt sour.


She had said the truth. She and Long Xiao Yu were strangers. Since Long Xiao Yu also agreed, then there was nothing else for her to say.


Originally, she hadn't given a second thought as she cut their ties. However, now that she heard Long Xiao Yu say the same thing, her heart felt rather antsy. Why did she suddenly start feeling so guilty?


Strangers? Yeah. They were strangers.


“Hm?” pressed Long Xiao Yu, getting closer again.


Now Long Xiao Yu was within reach, she could smell the cold plum scent coming from him. Mu Zi Ling suddenly sneezed. When she recovered, she lifted the blanket and started to edge back on the bed.


“This wife understands,” said Mu Zi Ling calmly, collecting her thoughts.


Long Xiao Yu saw that Mu Zi Ling was backing away from him like she was trying to escape, so he stopped moving. He just stared at Mu Zi Ling, waiting for her to continue speaking.


What did this woman understand?


So nervous Mu Zi Ling was, that all the hairs on her body stood up. She cowered and wanted to scoot back even further, but she was already at the end and couldn’t back any further.


“This wife knows that she is just a stranger. This wife has stayed in the Yu Han Palace for too long. She should’ve moved out earlier,” mustered out Mu Zi Ling, with all the confidence she had. he ignored the gnawing feeling in her heart.


Once she finished speaking, she slowly started to crawl out from the other side of the bed.


She would move immediately. The Qi Palace was so huge that there would definitely be somewhere she could stay.


However, it wasn't as simple as she thought.


“The entirety of the Palace is this King’s, where are you going to go?” asked Long Xiao Yu callously, straightening his back.


He’d assume earlier that Mu Zi Ling would criticize him. Who would’ve thought that she would actually call herself the wrongdoer? He really wanted to slap the woman to death right now.


Mu Zi Ling stopped trying to get off the bed. What did Long Xiao Yu mean? Was he forbidding her from staying in his Palace from now on? Did that he mean that he would divorce her?


So she was now free! Wasn't this what she had wanted this entire time? Shouldn’t she be happy?


Why did her heart feel like it was being squeezed by something, almost suffocating her?


Mu Zi Ling didn’t say anything more. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She quickly covered up the insecure look on her face, and got up slowly to put on her shoes. Long Xiao Yu continued to focus on Mu Zi Ling’s every movement, as if he was waiting for her to say something back.


However, Mu Zi Ling stayed silent. Once she put on her shoes, she started to head towards the doors.


“Did this King say you could leave?” demanded Long Xiao Yu harshly. His lone voice gave off an enticing yet imposing feel.


Mu Zing stopped walking. She didn’t turn around nor did she respond. she looked like she was contemplating something. Her hands reached into her sleeves and started to pull something out of them.


Long Xiao Yu seemed to know what Mu Zi Ling was about to do, and he immediately rushed up to grab her hands. He forced Mu Zi Ling to look at him. His eyes were chilling and sharp. It seemed like he was seeing right through Mu Zi Ling.


Mu Zi Ling lowered her head and didn’t look at his face. What did Long Xiao Yu want?


“Your highness, the Qi King, may I take my leave?” asked Mu Zi Ling through gritted teeth. Her head was still bent. Since the beginning she had been too timid to look at Long Xiao Yu. Now she had even changed the way she addressed him.


Since Long Xiao Yu wanted her to leave, she was no longer the Qi Princess. They shared no relations right now, so there was no need for her to address herself as his wife.


After Mu Zi Ling said what she said, Long Xiao Yu’s large hands seemed to start crushing Mu Zi Ling’s small, weak hands.


“Mu Zi Ling, did you forget what this King said?” Long Xiao Yu ignored her. There was a hint of rage in his voice.


Mu Zi Ling’s hands were hurting excruciatingly at this point. She furrowed her brows, but she was still doubtful of Long Xiao Yu’s words. She bit her lips, gathered up her courage, and looked at Long Xiao Yu. Her clear water like eyes were confused.


What words did she forget?


“This King will repeat those word again. You are the Qi Princess, you don't have matters of your own. As long as you have been the Qi Princess for a day, you are not allowed to think that you have nothing to do with the Qi King’s Palace.” Long Xiao Yu’s words were extremely cold, and they carried undeniable strength.


When Mu Zi Ling heard Long Xiao Yu’s words, she was bewildered. Was it her who was confused, or was it Long Xiao Yu who was confused?


“Why?” asked Mu Zi Ling foolishly.
