Cold King's Dominating Love, Genius Medical Consort Chapter 44 part1

Chapter 44: Intentional, she was very pleased part 1

Now that the Empress was acting kind towards Mu Zi Ling, how could she still

refuse? If you compare the two, the Empress was much more difficult to deal with

than the Empress Dowager.

The old Empress Dowager would still let her true feelings slip when angry, but the

Empress was never shaken by the thunder and didn’t show her true feelings.

Other than Long Xiao Li, there was probably no one who could shake the

Empress’s expressions.

The moment the Empress saw that Long Xiao Li was fine, her expressions also

recovered and she reverted back to her original kind face. Her complexion also

improved and her words hid sharper needles.

Only a meal? There was obviously not going to be just regular food. There would

definitely be ‘extra’ ingredients added otherwise, why would the Empress go through

so much trouble just to get her to stay? If the Empress really wanted to thank her,

then she could’ve just sent her a gift. Even an idiot could tell that this feast was set

up for blood.

However, she wasn’t afraid. Whatever intention the Empress had, she would see

through her tricks as she threw them.

When Long Xiao Li heard the Empress ask Mu Zi Ling to stay, he started to look at

Mu Zi Ling like a hungry wolf looking at a big meal. He drooled with desire as he

stared at Mu Zi Ling.

In fact, even if the Empress hadn’t opened her mouth to tell Mu Zi Ling to stay, he

would’ve also tried his best to get Mu Zi Ling to stay.

If it wasn’t because he was afraid of his strange illness to recurring, there was no

reason for him to stay. He would’ve been looking for women now!

Although he couldn’t touch women, to be able to look at such a beauty like Mu Zi

Ling was still nice.

Who cared if Mu Zi Ling was married to Long Xiao Yu? Although he was also scared

of Long Xiao Yu’s power, he knew that Long Xiao Yu disdained all women.

He knew that if he really did touch Mu Zi Ling, Long Xiao Yu wouldn’t do anything

to him just because of a woman.

Long Xiao Yu might even thank him for helping dispose of Mu Zi Ling. Then he might

even give the woman to him as a reward.

Currently, Long Xiao Li could only think naively about how he was going to make Mu

Zi Ling his after he fully recovered from his illness.

Mu Zi Ling had no idea that behind her, Long Xiao Li was fantasizing about her with

a vulgar stare and hanging jaw. If she knew though, she would definitely not be in

good of a mood as she was in right now, nor would she let Long Xiao Li off so easily.

Mu Zi Ling looked towards the Empress and smiled, “Mother-in-law, what are you on

about? I couldn’t be happier to eat dinner with you, why on earth would I reject your

invitation?”

Only the G.o.ds knew how much Mu Zi Ling was crying inside as she spoke with a

smile plastered to her face. Every time she entered the Royal Palace, she would

have to say words she didn’t mean and smile at the people she didn’t like.

Thank goodness that Long Xiao Yu had his own peaceful and quiet manor.

If she had been married into this Royal Palace and was forced to listen to all these

chattering birds, she would have rathered finding Long Xiao Ze and listened to he

rambling.

The Empress was standing across Long Xiao Li and Mu Zi Ling, so she naturally saw

what the expressions on Long Xiao Li’s face meant as he stared at Mu Zi Ling.

Xiao Li was usually quick-witted, so why did he lack strength and self control when it

came to women? She didn’t care how Xiao Li usually played with his women, but Mu

Zi Ling was the Qi King’s Princess.

She didn’t care if Long Xiao Li objected, they had to be very careful. They must not

make their moves so openly against Mu Zi Ling.

Also just by looking at Mu Zi Ling, the Empress could tell that Mu Zi Ling was not a

person who was easy to deal with. If Mu Zi Ling attended the meal and followed her

orders, then that would be the best scenario.

If she didn’t, then she would have to be vicious and merciless. She would not let a

person that could threaten them stay by Long Xiao Yu’s side. She would rather kill

a thousand innocents than miss a dangerous ent.i.ty.

The Empress secretly gave Long Xiao Li a look, signalling him to have a bit more

self control.

However, Long Xiao Li remained unmoved, and continued to stare at Mu Zi Ling.

At this point, the Empress didn’t even care anymore because she was afraid Mu Zi

Ling would see through her tricks.

The Empress then placed on a kind face and said to Mu Zi Ling, “Since Ling’er can

stay, then your mother-in-law can feel relieved. Your mother-in-law was getting

worried that Ling’er didn’t want to give her mother-in-law face and eat a dinner with

me!”

The Empress’ words were very clever!

Wasn’t she just trying to imply that she was the Empress? If Mu Zi Ling had rejected

her back then, then she would be refusing to give the mother of the kingdom any

face. If that had happened, there would be no way she could’ve lived with such a large

crime.

But she had already agreed to stay back and for a meal, there was really no need for

the Empress to say so many extra things. Was she trying to threaten her?

“Mother-in-law must be joking.” Mu Zi Ling lightly tugged at the corner of her lips, her

heart full of disdain.

She didn’t have anything else to say, nor would she ever sweet-talk her. No matter

what the Empress wanted to do, Mu Zi Ling would fight her till the very end.

However, she would naturally not give anyone face, and the Empress was smart on

her part to catch onto her words so quickly. This forced her to swallow the words

that she had at the tip of her tongue.

This time, the Empress was the smug one, while Mu Zi Ling was the annoyed.

“To be able to eat with my Third Sister in law, this meal will definitely be delicious!”

said Long Xiao Li from behind her. It was as if he wasn’t talking about the food being

delicious, but the person being delicious.

When Mu Zi Ling heard these words, she furrowed her brows, slightly moved her

body, and ignored Long Xiao Li.

Just by looking at Long Xiao Li’s disgusting face was enough to make her feel

uncomfortable. She didn’t even know if she would be able to swallow the food down

with Long Xiao Li there.
