<span>Chapter 55 You care about her don''t you? Part 2


    <span>Long Xiao Yu didn’t seem to care about this matter. But was he really indifferent,


    <span>or did he have other feelings that he kept hidden.


    <span>Even though the Empress hasn’t seeded this time, I am afraid that she will not


    <span>give up so easily,” continued Le Tain.


    <span>Although he didn’t understand the fight for royal power, he still admitted that the


    <span>Empress’ moves were really thought out. Making Mu Zi Ling a puppet was a pretty


    <span>smart idea.


    <span>A normal person couldn''t cause much harm, but a talented person could arouse


    <span>the envy of others.


    <span>The Qi Princess was a mystery. If he were to tell everyone of the Qi Princess’


    <span>secrets, he knew that it would make them gasp in shock. But more importantly,


    <span>she was the wife of the Qi King.


    <span>If Long Xiao Yu developed affection for Mu Zi Ling, then wherever she went, she


    <span>would be seen as a piece of high quality fruit. Ripe for the picking.


    <span>However, Long Xiao Yu’s next words werepletely unexpected.


    <span>“She can fill the holes that she dug herself,” said Long Xiao Yu coldly. It was as if


    <span>his question had nothing to do with him.


    <span>Long Xiao Yu’s words surprised Le Tian. He knew exactly who Long Xiao Yu was


    <span>referring to with “she”. Could it be that he was the one who was misunderstood the


    <span>whole time?


    <span>Long Xiao Yu’s words had two meanings in them. They revealed he didn’t care


    <span>about Mu Zi Ling at all, so helping her was an incredulous thought, and that she


    <span>could go against the Empress by herself.


    <span>However, Le Tian couldn’t help find it hrious when he unintentionally imagined


    <span>the Empress with brazen ws, reaching out towards Mu Zi Ling.


    <span>The Empress had been overconfident. Though she thought the Gu would stay a


    <span>secret, it had been uncovered by Mu Zi Ling. Just the Empress alone was


    <span>powerful enough. But there was also a ruthless Prince, would Mu Zi Ling still be


    <span>able to fight them?


    <span>He had watched the Eldest Prince move with his own eyes. What type of woman


    <span>could birth that kind of son, each obstacle was tougher than the other. This son


    <span>was harder to deal with than the mother.


    <span>“However, the Qi Princess….” started Le Tian, but stopped after Long Xiao Yu


    <span>red at him.


    <span>“You sure do care about her,” remarked Long Xiao Yu coldly, as his surrounding


    <span>temperature dropped.


    <span>This time Le Tian angrily shut his mouth. He didn’t think too much into Long Xiao


    <span>Yu’s tone, and just assumed that Long Xiao Yu was telling him to mind his own


    <span>business.


    <span>Out of the three times he met Mu Zi Ling, they had only spoken to each other


    <span>twice.


    <span>He didn’t really care about Mu Zi Ling in a special way, he was just really worried


    <span>for her. However, he didn’t say that out loud. Long Xiao Yu was her husband and


    <span>he didn’t even care, so why should an outsider like him care that much?


    <span>Then again, if Long Xiao Yu didn’t care, then why would he get him to inspect the


    <span>jar of soup? He even pulled him over, getting him to personally take a look at Mu


    <span>Zi Ling when she had fallen unconscious, tormenting him for three days.


    <span>He clearly cared about her, but kept insisting that he didn’t. Why was their


    <span>rtionship so exasperating!


    <span>The Qi King’s feelings were really unpredictable.


    <span>How many people in the pce drooled over Long Xiao Yu’s power? All these


    <span>years, they could only long for it, too afraid to make any rash movements.


    <span>Yet this time, Long Xiao Yu was unconcerned that the Qi King’s Manor could


    <span>break into chaos because of Mu Zi Ling’s matters. Was he not afraid that he


    <span>could be bringing trouble upon himself by letting people take advantage of her?


    <span>In addition, since the Empress had ess to a creature as poisonous as the


    <span>Gu, she would definitely use it again. If this matter were to spread out, even if


    <span>it didn''t damage the kingdom and bring harm to people, it would not be far off


    <span>from that.


    <span>Even if Long Xiao Yu didn’t care about Mu Zi Ling, he should still care about his


    <span>Emperor father. The conflicts between women in the Royal Pce were more


    <span>difficult to deal with than a bloody battlefield.


    <span>However, would Long Xiao Yu really not care?


    <span> -


    <span>After Mu Zi Ling had woken from her minia, she ate, drank, and slept more


    <span>than usual for a while, but soon returned to her usual energized self and spent


    <span>her days leisurely.


    <span>These peaceful days almost had Mu Zi Ling wanting to thank the Empress


    <span>Dowager for arranging this mariage. She had married her to the right person.


    <span>Thank goodness the Empress Dowager had “good eyes” and married her to


    <span>Long Xiao Yu instead of some other scum.


    <span>Being married to Long Xiao Yu meant she didn’t have to fight other concubines


    <span>for attention, and there were no fights between the mother and wife. Additionally,


    <span>she was in charge of the Qi King’s Manor now, so as long as Long Xiao Yu wasn’t


    <span>here, she would have the most power in the Manor.


    <span>As for the beasts in the Royal Pce, as long as they didn’t bite her, there was


    <span>no need to be an idiot and provoke them. For the most part Mu Zi Lingpletely


    <span>ignored them.


    <span>Theck of conflict wasn’t the only benefit to the marriage, her days were spent


    <spanfortably and happily.


    <span>Every so often, she would go out to the back garden and take care of the medical


    <span>ingredients, sometimes, she would even go to the You Shui Pavillion and y the


    <span>zither. She would even help take care of some of the Qi King Manor’s many


    <span>matters once in a while.


    <span>Plus, asionally she would dress up in a man’s attire and leave to check on the


    <span>Mu Shan Hall’s business. She couldn’t deny that her move had been really clever.


    <span>Ever since the eunuch had bought medical ingredients from the Mu Shan Hall,


    <span>there had been a lot of people from the Royal Pce buying ingredients from


    <span>here.


    <span>With that, business at the Mu Shan Hall had be more prosperous with


    <span>each passing day. Money was rolling in everyday.


    <span>Mu Zi Ling also had an business idea. She told the shopkeeper to make a deal


    <span>with the imperial doctors that had been buying medical ingredients from Mu Shan


    <span>Hall that the Mu Shan hall would provide all future needed ingredients for the


    <span>Royal Pce.


    <span>Although it was really dangerous to do business with the Royal Pce, and a


    <span>slight mistake could cause many deaths, it would be stupid of her if she didn’t


    <span>make this money. Doing business with the Royal Pce was simple, and their


    <span>money was easy to earn. What could she have against it?


    <span>As long as her secret boss didn’t reveal her identity, everything would go the


    <span>way she nned. She would just work towards earning back the money she


    <span>used to buy the shop. She would not suffer any type of deficiency. As for the


    <span>shop’s future, that could be put off tillter.


    <span>However, good and easy days would neverst forever.


    <span>Soon, someone would visit the Manor to stir up trouble...
