<span>Chapter 45: Here to bring her back part 2


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


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


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


    <span>from where he stood.


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


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


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


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


    <span>Long Xiao Yu hadpletely ignored the meaning behind him putting food onto


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


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


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


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


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


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


    <span>No matter how much she had nned, she had missed this one detail.


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


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


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


    <span>misunderstood his actions and thought he had just wanted to y along. What


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


    <span>Dowager just for the sake of it.


    <span>The same man who had never stepped foot into the Royal Pce, had


    <span>decidede to the Kun Ning Pce today in order to take back Mu Zi Ling.


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


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


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


    <span>than Yun Jin had crossed her mind.


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


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


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


    <span>Yu wouldn’t y with her heart as much as he did.


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


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


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


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


    <span>Empress for permission. His action basically disregarded the Empress’


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


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


    <span>would not be able to keep them here.


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


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


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


    <span>her violet toad.


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


    <span>and breed them as snacks for her violet toad.


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


    <span>shamelessly asked, “Mother, do you mind if your daughter-inw brings this


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


    <span>fragrant, your daughter-inw really wants to taste it.”


    <span>The eunuchs and pce maids were all very confused. It was just a bowl of


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


    <span>Princess start asking it from the Empress?


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


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


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


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


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


    <span>anymore.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


    <span>have to make Long Xiao Yu wait.


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


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


    <span>Empress should agree to her request. Right?


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


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


    <span>back with her.”


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


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


    <span>not let this chance go to waste.


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


    <span>find anything wrong with this bowl of soup.


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


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


    <span>be easy for Mu Zi Ling to detect the poison.


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


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


    <span>decisionster on.


    <span>“Thank you mother-inw,” said Mu Zi Ling smiling happily. She liked the


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


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


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


    <span>left the handkerchief that she used to push her te away on the desk. After


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


    <span>container of soup and left.


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


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


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


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


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


    <span>started to feel drunk and intoxicated.
