<span>Chapter 42: Wild Imaginings part 1


    <span>“Imperial Mother, was my Eldest Imperial Brother infected with an unknown


    <span>disease? Howe even the imperial doctors couldn’t help him?”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling wasn’t rushing in the slightest. If the Empress didn’t want to say anything,


    <span>she had plenty of spare time. In the end, the one suffering would be Long Xiao Li.


    <span>Seeing that the Empress was having a hard time talking, the Empress Dowager


    <span>simply said, “There’s nothing much wrong with your Eldest Imperial Brother. It’s just


    <span>that he can’t be near female bodies.”


    <span>Although Mu Zi Ling had already known, hearing the Empress Dowager say it was


    <span>still very funny.


    <span>Other than her, since she knew what really was wrong with Long Xiao Li, everyone


    <span>else would just think that his disease was from his too many ‘deeds’ with too many


    <span>women. Empress Dowager had even managed to say it in a tactful manner.


    <span>“He can’t be near female bodies? Your daughter-inw has never seen any illness


    <span>like this,” said Mu Zi Ling as she faked thoughtfulness.


    <span>Right now, she really wanted to watch the Empress toss out her dignity to beg her


    <span>to save Long Xiao Li.


    <span>As expected, when the Empress heard her, she started to panic. There wasn’t a bit


    <span>of empress aura around her anymore.


    <span>“Ling’er, just go and help your Eldest Imperial Brother by taking a look at his illness.


    <span>Since you were able to cure the headache that had been bothering Xiao Nan for so


    <span>many years, I know that you can also help your Eldest Imperial Brother,” said the


    <span>Empress urgently.


    <span>She wanted to look calm and collected. If it Long Xiao Li hadn’t been her one and


    <span>only son, she would not have acted so rashly in front of so many people.


    <span>“Your daughter-inw can take a look, but your daughter-inw cannot promise that


    <span>she can cure it,” said Mu Zi Ling, acting as if she was terrified.


    <span>She didn’t care what the Empress Dowager would do to her afterwards. She was


    <span>certain that she could cure Long Xiao Li, but she still had to act as if she didn’t know


    <span> anything.


    <span>“As long as Ling’er tries her best, this Dowager won’t me you.”


    <span>Although this was what the Empress Dowager had said, she wasn’t thinking the


    <span>s<span>ame thing inside. <span>Mu Zi Ling, if you can’t cure him, then don’t you even think of


    <span>l<span>eaving this Pce.


    <span>“Your daughter-inw will definitely try her very best,” said Mu Zi Ling respectfully.


    <span>How could Mu Zi Ling be oblivious to what the Empress Dowager was thinking.


    <span>She was absolutely certain that she was right, but even if she wasn’t, she was still


    <span>unafraid of the Empress Dowager’s hidden moves.


    <span>Long Xiao Li’s illness was nothingpared to Long Xiao Nan’s tumor, but since


    <span>t<span>he <span>Empress and the Empress Dowager had personally invited her over, they


    <span>probably <span>didn''t want anything to happen to Long Xiao Li.


    <span>“This Dowager feels a bit tired, so you can go ahead without me to take a look at


    <span>Xiao Li.”


    <span>The Empress Dowager waved her hands, gesturing for the Empress to take Mu Zi


    <span>Ling to Long Xiao Li.


    <span>The Empress Dowager wouldn’t worry about any of the Emperor’s sons. However,


    <span>t<span>he Empress was the main concubine on her side in the Royal Pce and she had


    <span>a use for Long Xiao Li. If he was cured, then great, but if he wasn’t cured, it won''t do


    <span>her any harm either. Instead, she could use this as a chance to get rid of Mu Zi Ling.


    <span> -


    <span>The Empress led Mu Zi Ling over to Long Xiao Li’s pce, but they hadn’t even


    <span>gotten close to the pce, when they could hear the furious screams of Long Xiao


    <span>Li, “You bunch of useless trash!!! What does this prince need you all for?!?!”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling knew that Long Xiao Li was about to kill people again, so she forgot the


    <span>Empress and rushed inside, kicking open the locked door.


    <span>Everyone present was struck dumb by Mu Zi Ling’s actions. Who could have


    <span>thought <span>that the Qi King’s Princess was so valiant.


    <span>Inside the pce with a sword in his hand, Long Xiao Li suddenly stopped and


    <span>angrily looked towards the culprit who kicked open the door.


    <span>The moment Long Xiao Li saw Mu Zi Ling, a bright light shed by his eyes, but he


    <span>could only quickly say, “Mu Zi Ling,” before he threw up again.


    <span>It seemed as though he could only puke stomach acid, since he had already thrown


    <span>up everything in his stomach.


    <span>Normally when Mu Zi Ling saw a scene like this, she would be take joy in their


    <span>cmity. However, for some reason, she could not feel happy when she looked


    <span>at him. Her heart and eyes even ached.


    <span>She raised her foot and slowly walked over.


    <span>The air was polluted with the smell of Long Xiao Li’s vomit and a strong scent of


    <span>blood. Mu Zi Ling couldn’t help but want to run away from there.


    <span>Although she had already saved the terrified imperial doctor for Long Xiao Li’s


    <span>sword, there were still a few that had he killed before she had arrived. Every one of


    <span>them lied lifelessly on the floor, donning many bloody wounds.


    <span>Although she was a doctor, and had seen many deaths, Mu Zi Ling was terrified


    <span>and wanted to hide away.


    <span>Although she didn’t directly kill them, they had died because of her.


    <span>She knew that these weren’t the only ones to have died under Long Xiao Li’s hands,


    <span>however, it was toote to change anything now. The only thing she could do at this


    <span>moment, was to cure Long Xiao Li in order to prevent him from killing more people.


    <span>This was the first time that she had felt regret for punishing a bad person.


    <span>She never once thought that Long Xiao Li could be so bloody and cruel to the point


    <span>where he would dare kill anyone in the pce without shame. He could heartlessly


    <span>wave his sword, and mercilessly kill any innocent person in the pce without even


    <span>batting his eyes.


    <span>When Long Xiao Li, who was still throwing up, saw Mu Zi Ling walk towards him, he


    <span>hurriedly said, “Don’t… Don’te over here…!” before barfing.


    <span>Although Long Xiao Li longed for Mu Zi Ling to get close to him, he didn’t want her


    <span>a<span>nywhere near him right now. This illness was about to drive him crazy!


    <span>Whether or not he saw a female or smelt a perfume, he would start endlessly


    <span>vomiting. He had decided that it was the body of a concubine who infected him


    <span>with this strange illness.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling recovered from her sorrow and stopped in her steps. It seemed like Long


    <span>Xiao Li had been vomiting for a good while; he really cut a really sorry figure right


    <span>now. He had already gotten a bit skinnier from all the vomiting. However, she did not


    <span>feel even the slightest bit of pity for him, instead, she felt rage.


    <span>At this moment, she wanted to cut Long Xiao Li into many pieces. If it was not


    <span>because she did not want Long Xiao Li to continue his massacre, she wouldn’t have


    <span>cured Long Xiao Li of his poison this easily.


    <span>When the Empress arrived and saw the scene, she did not feel the slightest pity for


    <span> the dead imperial doctors. It was as if she was already used to Long Xiao Li’s cruel


    <span>actions.


    <span>She acted like the corpses on the ground died for a good cause. Her gaze didn’t


    <span>even linger on them for a second, before she stared worriedly as Long Xiao Li


    <span>barfed.


    <span>“My son…” said the Empress.


    <span>Her heart ached, but she didn’t dare near him.


    <span>“<span>Barf<span>… Leave…. All of you leave!” Long Xiao Li couldn’t take anymore and screamed


    <span>out.
