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


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


or did he have other feelings that he kept hidden.


Even though the Empress hasn’t succeeded this time, I am afraid that she will not


give up so easily,” continued Le Tain.


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


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


smart idea.


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


the envy of others.


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


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


she was the wife of the Qi King.


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


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


However, Long Xiao Yu’s next words were completely unexpected.


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


his question had nothing to do with him.


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


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


whole time?


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


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


could go against the Empress by herself.


However, Le Tian couldn’t help find it hilarious when he unintentionally imagined


the Empress with brazen claws, reaching out towards Mu Zi Ling.


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


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


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


able to fight them?


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


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


was harder to deal with than the mother.


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


glared at him.


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


temperature dropped.


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


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


business.


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


twice.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


relationship so exasperating!


The Qi King’s feelings were really unpredictable.


How many people in the palace drooled over Long Xiao Yu’s power? All these


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


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


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


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


In addition, since the Empress had access to a creature as poisonous as the


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


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


from that.


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


Emperor father. The conflicts between women in the Royal Palace were more


difficult to deal with than a bloody battlefield.


However, would Long Xiao Yu really not care?


-


After Mu Zi Ling had woken from her mini coma, she ate, drank, and slept more


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


her days leisurely.


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


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


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


Long Xiao Yu instead of some other scum.


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


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


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


here, she would have the most power in the Manor.


As for the beasts in the Royal Palace, as long as they didn’t bite her, there was


no need to be an idiot and provoke them. For the most part Mu Zi Ling completely


ignored them.


The lack of conflict wasn’t the only benefit to the marriage, her days were spent


comfortably and happily.


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


ingredients, sometimes, she would even go to the You Shui Pavillion and play the


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


matters once in a while.


Plus, occasionally she would dress up in a man’s attire and leave to check on the


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


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


there had been a lot of people from the Royal Palace buying ingredients from


here.


With that, business at the Mu Shan Hall had become more prosperous with


each passing day. Money was rolling in everyday.


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


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


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


Royal Palace.


Although it was really dangerous to do business with the Royal Palace, and a


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


make this money. Doing business with the Royal Palace was simple, and their


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


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


way she planned. She would just work towards earning back the money she


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


shop’s future, that could be put off till later.


However, good and easy days would never last forever.


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