Chapter 51 Why didn’t you say so earlier part 1

   

Long Xiao Yu also stayed until the sun rose.  Instead of fidgeting in annoyance, 
he stared at Le Tian as if irritated he was too slow.

Le Tian  ignored how Long Xiao Yu stared at him, because now, he was certain 
that something was wrong with the bowl of soup. It didn’t seem like it was 
poisoned, but he couldn’t think of anything else.

   

He was really anxious! As a doctor, he was most helpless when he couldn't find 
a cause for a patient’s problem, and this was  his first time coming across such 
a th.o.r.n.y and hard problem.

   

Xie also stayed by Mu Zi Ling’s bedside the entire night, carefully watching her. 
Since his highness Qi King was here, no matter how much courage she had, 
she still wouldn’t dare doze off.

   

She knew that something was wrong when his highness, the Qi King got Le Tian 
to look at Mu Zi Ling’s condition. Le Tian said that everything was fine with her 
Young Miss, but why didn’t he say why her Young Miss could not wake up?

   

She was really confused. Could something be wrong with the Young Miss?

   

Why did his highness ask Le Tian to inspect the bowl of soup? Young Miss said 
that the bowl of soup was given by the Empress earlier today. She was in a hurry 
to come back today, so she asked for it from the Empress.

   

Did his highness think that Young Miss was in a deep sleep because of that bowl 
of soup?

   

However, that was not possible. Before when her Young Miss had fallen into a 
deep sleep and refuse to wake up, she hadn’t drunk any soup, so how could this 
be connected with the bowl of soup?

   

Should she tell his highness that this had happened to Young Miss before too, 
and that it did not have a connection with the bowl of soup?

   

Xie hesitated at her dilemma. Should she say it or not?

   

In the end, Xie still decided to not say anything. She knew that the jar of soup 
Young Miss brought back from the Royal Palace was probably harmless because 
the Empress would never harm the Young Miss.

   

She would tell what had happened after Le Tian finished inspecting her. She was 
very positive that the Young Miss would wake up.

   

Last time, Young Miss had fallen asleep for a whole day and night. Since a night 
had already pa.s.sed, Young Miss would probably be waking up soon.

   

After a while, Mu Zi Ling still hadn’t woke up, and Long Xiao Yu had left 
soundlessly.

   

When Xie saw that Mu Zi Ling had not woken up yet, she started to worry, but she 
didn’t dare to disturb Le Tian. She went to grab some water quietly and washed 
Mu Zi ling’s face.

   

The sun rose and fell, two days had already pa.s.sed.

   

In those two days, Long Xiao Yu didn’t appear again.

   

Xie was started to get really worried now. It had already been two days, yet Mu Zi 
Ling still hasn’t woke up. She freshened up Mu Zi Ling everyday. She also tried to 
feed her, but the food just wouldn’t go in.

   

The longer it got, the more worried Xie was. She afraid that her Young Miss would 
never wake up again. If Young Miss never woke up again, then what would she do?

   

In the two days of time, Le Tian didn’t rest for even a bit. He just continued to 
inspect the jar of soup from all different angles. He didn’t even eat, and lived off 
basically  water. The beginnings of a beard were appearing on his chin.

  

His gentle and scholarly image was gone. He didn’t even have any spiritual energy 
left, instead he was just exhausted. There was a strange odor coming from him, 
and his hair was a mess.

   

This was probably the dedication of an doctor. Although the problem could be 
solved, he couldn’t think of any solutions, but even so, he wouldn’t stop unless he 
figured out a reason why.

   

On the third day, Long Xiao Yu came back after his 2 day disappearance. Although 
he wasn’t here these two days, he knew everything that happened here.

   

Long Xiao Yu glaced at the Le Tian, who had his head lowered, and didn’t speak.

   

He walked over to the Mu Zi Ling who had been asleep for three days. She was 
still as lifeless as she was three days ago. His eyes were deep, as if it was a 
bottomless pit. No one could tell his thoughts behind those deep eyes.

   

It was not known how long it has been, but Gui Mei, who had stayed in the Royal 
Palace for three days, returned. Only when Gui Mei came back, did Long Xiao Yu 
retrieve his gaze from Mu Zi Ling. He walked over to a soft mattress and sat down.

   

Gui Mei saw that Le Tian was still investigating, so he did not bother him. He 
quietly whispered a few words into Long Xiao Yu’s ears.

   

After Gui Mei finished speaking, Long Xiao Yu gave him a signal with his eyes, 
and Gui Mei quietly left again. At this moment, Long Xiao Yu’s brows were 
creased, and it seemed like he was also pondering about something.

   

Suddenly, the Le Tian off to the side stood up and knocked on his own head.

   

It was that thing! How could he have not have figured it out earlier?! The Empress’ 
schemes were definitely abnormally intricate.

   

He excitedly stood up and could help but happily exclaim, “I got it! I finally figured 
it out!”

   

Le Tian had no idea how long he had spent on the problem, he didn’t realize that 
people had left and came back into the room, he didn’t know that he looked so 
disheveled that he could be mistaken for a beggar on the streets.

   

When Long Xiao Yu heard his voice, he retracted his train of thoughts. Seeing Le 
Tian like this, he couldn't tolerate it anymore and threw him a cold glance.

   

Only now did Le Tian feel how scary Long Xiao Yu was. He rubbed his neck and 
realized that he situation was not good.

   

However, he didn’t care too much about it at this moment. When he figured out 
the problem, it was as if everything had cleared. The nagging feeling he had 
suddenly disappeared.

   

“It was the ancient poisonous worms,” revealed Le Tian excitedly to Long Xiao Yu.
