<span>Chapter 44: Intentional, she was very pleased part 2


    <span>How could she not get the meaning behind Long Xiao Li’s words? A humorless


    <span>smile appeared onto her face, “This Princess is also looking forwards to the meal.


    <span>I wonder how delicious the Royal Pce’s food really is.”


    <span>Suddenly, she came to the realization that gene hereditary in the ancient times was


    <span>basically non existent. The Emperor’s sons may all be handsome, but none of them


    <span>looked or had simr personalities to each other. Every one of them had their own


    <span>characteristics. As for malicious and duplicitous types like Long Xiao Li, she really


    <span>didn’t want to give out anypliments.


    <span>Long Xiao Li was about to talk again, but he was cut off by the Empress, “Alright,


    <span>we should bring out the food now. Ling’er must be really hungry by now, so let''s stop


    <span>talking about small things.”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling really didn’t care how the Empress said it. She just wanted to leave this


    <span>stinking ce as soon as possible. If it wasn’t because her resistance was so strong,


    <span>she would’ve already thrown up many times.


    <span>“Oh! This Prince has forgotten about that, my Third Sister inw, you’ve already


    <span>been here for so long that you must be starving by now. Hurry, organize the Kun


    <span>Ning Pce!” Only now did Long Xiao Li take his eyes off of Mu Zi Ling in order the


    <span>servants.


    <span>Then Long Xiao Li looked at his own pce that had turned into a very sorry state


    <span>because of him. He turned to the eunuch next to him and said, “Take those things


    <span>that don’t know what''s good for them to the mountains.”


    <span>When the Empress and others left, Mu Zi Ling looked at the bloody scene again.


    <span>She had heard what Long Xiao Li said back then, so she sprinkled some bone


    <span>melting powder onto the corpses.


    <span>She knew that even if these people died, Long Xiao Li would still not kindly bury


    <span>them, and just as expected, Long Xiao Li had ordered to throw these corpses into


    <span>the mountains to be torn apart by demonic beasts.


    <span>These lives had lived to serve, and die from false usations, yet they were still


    <span>unable to have peace after death. Instead of letting them be torn up, you might as


    <span>well turn them to dust.


    <span> -


    <span>Kun Ning Gong.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling looked at the table, filled to the edge with dazzling food. She couldn’t


    <span>help but think that the Royal Pce’s food was truly rich. The ‘meal’ was equal to


    <span>a sumptuous banquet. Although the food she ate in the Qi King’s Manor was not bad,


    <span>it was likeparing a small shack to a mansionpared to the Royal Pce’s


    <span>food.


    <span>When she entered the room, she had already started her Ster System and checked


    <span>all the food and drinks for any problems. However, they all seemed to be sade.


    <span>The food was also going to be eaten by the Empress and Long Xiao Li, so they


    <span>probably wouldn''t be stupid to the point of getting her to eat alone. If they just watched


    <span>as she ate, then their intentions would be too obvious.


    <span>Although the food didn’t have any poison, and she was very hungry, she didn’t have


    <span>much of an appetite. Not only was it because she still smelt the stench from Long Xiao


    <span>Li’s Pce, the two people in front of her was ruining her appetite.


    <span>Long Xiao Li had disgustingly used his own chopsticks to put food onto her te. How


    <span>could she still eat the food like this?


    <span>The Empress saw that Mu Zi Ling was not moving at all, so she asked kindly, “Ling’er,


    <span>do these dishes not suit your taste?”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling’s clear and sharp eyes slightly looked up, “How could it not? This


    <span>daughter-inw doesn’t even know what to eat first from all of these dishes.”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling’s heart was crying. She would rather eat poisoned food the Empress ced


    <span>onto her te, than food ced onto her food by Long Xiao Li disgustingly. Since she


    <span>knew how to make poisons, then she naturally knew how to cure poisons, so after she


    <span>ate the poisoned food, she could find a way to cure herself.


    <span>Long Xiao Li then let out a bright smile, “Haha, this Prince knows that my Third Sister


    <span>inw was too shy to eat. Come, this prince will choose some dishes for you.”


    <span>Then he meaningfully licked the chopsticks in his hand, and continued to put food onto


    <span>Mu Zi Ling’s te.


    <span>Internally, Mu Zi Ling wasughing so hard that her mouth was twitching, and her heart


    <span>was filled with hatred, “How could I trouble you? This Princess likes to eat sweet cakes.”


    <span>After she had resisted throwing up, she pushed the pile of food that Long Xiao Li had


    <span>put on her te, off to the side. Then she picked up a piece of pastry and started eating.


    <span>Just then, the pce maids brought over a soup for Mu Zi Ling. Suddenly, the Ster


    <span>System started to ring with warnings. Mu Zi Ling almost choked on the pastry that she


    <span>was eating.


    <span>Jesus, there was a Heart Controlling Gu in here. As the name implied, the Heart


    <span>Controlling Gu used certain sounds to control a group or a person.


    <span>(TL note : A gu is a legendary poisonous insect featured in many Chinese medicinal


    <span>novels.)


    <span>People who were poisoned by the gu would still act like normal. However, they lost


    <span>control of their thoughts, and turned into a walking piece of meat. In addition, once


    <span>the poisoned victim recognized a master, they would turn loyal and devote themselves


    <span>to them until death. There was no difference between them and a dead soldier.


    <span>She had even thought for a second that the Empress really wanted to thank her, so


    <span>she did not poison anything, but now, it looked like she was overthinking it.


    <span>The best dishes were truly saved forst.


    <span>She would’ve never thought that the Empress was so evil as to want to control her. In


    <span>the modern timeline, she had seen the effects of this poison. It definitely deserved to


    <span>be deemed terrifying.


    <span>The poison should be very rare in this time period, so how did the Empress obtain it?


    <span>Thank goodness she had the Ster System to remind her about stuff, otherwise she


    <span>wouldn’t even know how she died.


    <span>The Empress didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary from Mu Zi Ling and kindly


    <span>said, “Ling’er it looks like these dishes didn’t suit your taste, so your mother-inw


    <span>ordered the kitchen to make some soup. You can have a taste to see if you like it.”


    <span>Mu Zi Ling suddenly returned to her state of mind andughed coldly in her heart.


    <span>This intention of hers has opened her eyes.


    <span>This was the real Empress that had been hidden all this time. None of the women


    <span>in the pce could beat the Empress. If the Empress wanted to control her, then


    <span>she would first have to see if she could!


    <span>Mu Zi Ling acted as if she was overwhelmed by Empress’s kindness and happily


    <span>said, “The smell of this soup has opened up my appetite! Thank you, mother-inw.”


    <span>She looked like she was in a really good mood. She spooned up some of the soup


    <span>and started to cool it down by blowing on it. Then she lowered her head as if she


    <span>was really enjoying it.


    <span>Her violet toad loved anything bug rted. Plus this was not just any ordinary bug,


    <span>it would be a really beneficial for her violet toad. If she gave this gu insect to her


    <span>violet toad, then it would definitely stay very happy for many days.


    <span>The Empress saw that her n was about toe to action, so she let out a


    <spanughed, “As long as Ling’er likes it, then it is fine. Quickly, drink the soup while it is


    <span>still warm.”


    <span>This time the Empress had used all her hard earned savings to bring in the Heart


    <span>Controlling Gu from outside. No matter how high Mu Zi Ling’s medical skills were,


    <span>it was impossible for her to see through this.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling happily nodded. This time, she was truly thankful for the Empress’ special


    <span>masterpiece. But she still needed to think about how to feed this bowl of soup to her


    <span>violet toad.


    <span>As Mu Zi ling thought about how to feed the bowl of soup to her violet toad, an


    <span>eunuch’s voice came from outside the pce, “Wee Your Highness the Qi King!”
