<span>Chapter 46: I incidentally passed by here part 2


    <span>Desire filled Long Xiao Li’s eyes as if it was about to break out from him.


    <span>Even though they lowered their heads, every one of them knew what the Eldest


    <span>Prince was about to do, but no one had the courage to raise their heads and try


    <span>stop him. They all wanted to leave this terrifying ce as soon as possible. However,


    <span>before the Eldest Prince gave them permission, they were too afraid to even twitch.


    <span>Naturally, the Empress saw and knew everything that was happening, but still she did


    <span>not stop him nor take pity and pay a mind to the pce maids’ pleads. Turning a deaf


    <span>ear, she considerately lead everyone apart from the pce maids out the room.


    <span>Terrified, despairing screams rung from the pce, followed by Long Xiao Li’s


    <span>pleasured roars.


    <span>Not longter, the screaming stopped and the doors opened to reveal Long Xiao Li


    <span>walking out. His clothes were as neat as before, and his expressions revealed nothing


    <span>of the events taken ce.


    <span>If it wasn’t because of the mess and dead pce maids, the earlier screams could’ve


    <span>passed as just a trick of mind.


    <span> -


    <span>Elsewhere, Mu Zi Ling was leaving the Kun Ning Pce happily, with a jar of soup in


    <span>her hands. However, she couldn’t help but feel a bit suspicious when Long Xiao Yu


    <span>was nowhere to be seen outside.


    <span>Wasn’t Long Xiao Yu here for her? Why did he suddenly disappear? Did she really


    <span>take so long for the bowl of soup that he already left?


    <span>Since she was in such a good mood, she decided to stop thinking about it. It didn’t


    <span>matter whether or not Long Xiao Yu had waited for her, it wasn’t like she cared


    <span>anyways. For now, it was probably better to focus on returning to the manor. She


    <span>had already stayed here for so long that Xie was probably losing her mind with


    <span>worry.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling quickly hurried over to her horse carriage. She noticed that the


    <span>coachman was looking at her with a weird expression, but she couldn’t put her


    <span>finger on why.


    <span>Shaking her head, she quickly made her way onto the horse carriage. The


    <span>moment she lifted the curtains to the carriage, she figured out why the coachman


    <span>was looking at her so strangely.


    <span>So it turned out that Long Xiao Yu had been in the carriage. He sat calmly in the


    <span>carriage with his eyes shut, as if nothing had happened.


    <span>A calming and cool scent of cold plum filled the carriage. Subconsciously, Mu Zi


    <span>Ling took a deep breath, enjoying the refreshing smell. Usually, the scene in front


    <span>of Mu Zi Ling would’ve rendered people starry eyed. However, Mu Zi Ling wasn’t


    <span>in the mood to be a love struck fool.


    <span>Since she had left alone, the horse carriage she prepared was a bit small for two


    <span>people. Long Xiao Yu’srge frame had already taken up most the carriage. If she


    <span>got on the carriage now, she would definitely make physical contact with him.


    <span>She didn’t dare try guess what Long Xiao Yu was thinking. Although he could touch


    <span>her if he wanted, she didn’t make contact with him.


    <span>The horse carriage was hers, so she should have full rights to sit down. However,


    <span>no matter how much courage one gave her, she would never dare kick Long Xiao


    <span>Yu off the carriage.


    <span>Originally, her n was to sneak off the carriage without alerting Long Xiao Yu, but


    <span>she didn’t even get a chance to take a step back.


    <span>The guy she was facing suddenly opened his eyes. He nced over at the jar Mu


    <span>Zi Ling held, but didn’t ask any extra questions.


    <span>“Mu Zi Ling, keep your ws to yourself and don’t go provoking everyone you see.”


    <span>Long Xiao Yu’s words slightly disturbed Mu Zi Ling. Was he telling her to not


    <span>provoke the Empress?


    <span>“Your highness, I wouldn’t dream of provoking someone who hasn’t provoked me


    <span>first,” said Mu Zi Ling without the slightest bit of hesitation.


    <span>Never had she provoked another mindlessly, but that didn’t mean she would do


    <span>nothing if someone decided to provoke her. Never would she just stand there


    <span>stupidly to be attacked. However, if she had already provoked them, then she would


    <span>naturally take responsibility no matter what happened.


    <span>Long Xiao Yu didn’t say anything in response, his deep, dark eyes stared at Mu Zi


    <span>Ling, his thoughts unknown.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling started to feel a bit ufortable by the way he was staring at her. At


    <span>the moment, not only couldn’t she enter, she couldn’t leave either, added to the fact


    <span>that Long Xiao Yu hadn’t said a word, the atmosphere started to turn cold.


    <span>A few momentster.


    <span>“Your highness, did you have something you need from this Wife?” inquired Mu Zi


    <span>Ling after she gathered up her courage.


    <span>If they continued staying motionless like this, then they would never be able to


    <span>leave the spot they were in now. Seeing Long Xiao Yu stay so calm and silent


    <span>right now, she was starting to doubt whether or not Long Xiao Yu actually had


    <span>something that he needed her for.


    <span>“No,” came Long Xiao Yu’s short one word answer.


    <span>No?


    <span>Then why did he collect her from the Kun Ning Pce? Also, how did he even


    <spane to know that she was at the Empress’ ce? Furthermore, why was he


    <span>even in her carriage?! Didn’t hee to the Royal Pce with his own carriage?!?!


    <span>Mu Zi Ling could only scream these questions to herself since she didn’t dare voice


    <span>them out loud. She also turned silent, and once again, the atmosphere begun to


    <span>freeze over.


    <span>Long Xiao Yu seemed to know what Mu Zi ling was thinking and said, “This King


    <span>was just so happening to pass by here, so I coincidentally grabbed you along.”


    <span>His tone was still as cold as before, and the words that came out his mouth were


    <span>as unpleasant as ever to the ears. No matter how many times you heard him, it


    <span>was impossible to warm up to them.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling looked at Long Xiao Yu, who had spoken with his eyes closed. There


    <span>was no trace of unhappiness on her face, instead, she felt a strange sense of


    <span>warmth. She had almost been moved by him.


    <span>Just<span> passing by? <span>Just<span> coincidentally grabbing her along? Was Long Xiao Yu trying


    <span>to say that he had been passing the Kun Ning Pce <span>coincidentally<span>, so decided to


    <span>pick her up?


    <span>Since Long Xiao Yu had said that was what had happened, then she would not


    <span>expose him. After all, his highness the Qi King was a person that valued his pride


    <span>dearly.


    <span>Right now, Mu Zi Ling’s courage was rising by the second. She faced Long Xiao


    <span>Yu and quietly said, “Your highness, I will leave this carriage for you, and look for


    <span>another one then.”


    <span>After she finished talking, she was about to leave, but Long Xiao Yu interrupted her


    <span>by saying, “That would be unnecessary.”


    <span>Unnecessary? Was he trying to say that she didn’t have to get out of the carriage?


    <span>So Mu Zi Ling stopped in her tracks and waited for Long Xiao Yu to get off.


    <span>However, she had waited for a while, but Long Xiao Yu didn''t seem to have any


    <span>intention of moving. Did she interpret him wrongly?


    <span>Mu Zi Ling was just about to speak when Long Xiao Yu beat her to it and said icily,


    <span>“Fu Lin, leave.”


    <span>When the coachman heard Long Xiao Yu’s voice, he raised his whip and whipped


    <span>the horse, “Jia!”
