Chapter 54: This King does not allow part 2

   

Why did Long Xiao Yu feel really out of character today? She did remember Long Xiao Yu telling her that she could not have any private matters, but even now, she still didn’t know the reason why.

Why did Long Xiao Yu suddenly bring it up anyways?

   

Also, why was she not allowed to not a.s.sociate with the Qi King’s Manor?

   

Is Long Xiao Yu okay?

   

Wasn't he the one who said that she was a stranger? What do you mean I’m not allowed not a.s.sociate myself with the Qi King’s Manor?

What was going on?

   

Why?

   

Long Xiao Yu eyes flashed. He didn't reply to Mu Zi Ling’s question, and started walking out instead.

   

Mu Zi Ling was still staring off into s.p.a.ce, deep in thought. She had originally thought that Long Xiao Yu would not reply, however, as he was leaving, he suddenly said, with a strong and clear voice.

   

“Because this king forbids it.”

   

Once Long Xiao Yu coldly threw those words at her, he left without looking back.

   

Because he forbids it? Why doesn’t he allow it? Was it because that he was the Qi King?

   

Does Long Xiao Yu want her to leave or stay?!

   -    

Later, as Xie came in with the food. She was greeted with the sight of Mu Zi Ling staring off into the distance. It was as if her acupoints had been struck and she couldn’t move.

   

“Young Miss, why are you just standing here? Have his highness and doctor Le Tian leave yet?” asked Xie, looking around the room.

   

“Yeah,” said Mu Zi Ling blankly, still staring off into s.p.a.ce.

   

One, two, three…...

   

Mu Zi Ling suddenly jolted. Her eyes widened. She grabbed onto the corner of Xie’s clothes and asked in haste, “Xie what did you just say?”

   

“This.. This servant asked why the Young Miss was just standing there.” Xie was so startled by Mu Zi Ling’s sudden movements that she almost dropped the plates in her hand.

   

“Not that part, the other thing,” questioned Mu Zi Ling again.

   

“The other part? Oh, did his highness and doctor Le Tian leave yet?” replied Xie with a bit of consideration.

   

Why was Young Miss acting so strange today? Wasn’t she the one who said that his highness and doctor Le Tian had left already? Why did she still have to ask?

   

“You were in the kitchen this whole time earlier. How did you know that the Qi King was here?” asked Mu Zi Ling, letting go of Xie’s hand. The feeling that something was wrong kept itching at her.

   

“Young Miss, what’s wrong? His highness has been in the Yu Han Palace since this morning. He was sitting right here the whole time, did you not see him?” questioned Xie confusedly. She placed the food on a table and then pointed towards a soft mattress by the side.

   

Mu Zi Ling looked in the direction that Xie was pointing at.

   

He’s been here since the morning? Sat there the whole time?

   

She had not been able to see that spot at all when she was on the bed. Did this mean that Long Xiao Yu heard every single word that she and Le Tain said?

   

Mu Zi Ling suddenly remembered something. She clasped her hands together, and squeezed until there were cracking sounds. Then she gritted her teeth and mouthed, “d.a.m.n it, Le Tian,” harshly.

   

“Xie, did Le Tian really come over by himself?” asked Mu Zi Ling.

   

“No, when Young Miss fell asleep three days ago, his highness ordered Gui Ying to bring Le Tian over.” Xie quickly let all her words slip when she saw Mu Zi Ling looking like she wanted to kill someone.

   

Once you get past Le Tian’s cultured and refined appearance, you would see his fox like heart of treachery.

   

Hah. Here to consult her for guidance in medicine? Inspected the jar of soup out of curiosity? Wondering if she was going to inform the Qi King of this matter?

   

It was Long Xiao Yu who brought him here. It was Long Xiao Yu who ordered him to check the jar of soup. Clearly Long Xiao Yu already knew the truth of this matter.

   

Le Tian was so hateful… He clearly knew that Long Xiao Yu was here the whole time! Why didn’t he tell her? He had been playing with her this whole time, and he escaped for his own safety when he was done.

   

Now what Long Xiao Yu said made  sense. So it turned out, he had already heard everything that she said earlier.

   

She was scared for no reason. The person who angered Long Xiao Yu was herself. The person that she was cursing at this whole time was herself.

   

Every word that Long Xiao Yu has said earlier were words from her and Le Tian’s conversation.

   

It was her, talking without thinking, all along. There was nothing to be upset over now because this was a problem she gave herself.

   

The other half of Long Xiao Yu’s words meant that she was still the Qi Princess. With that, she still couldn’t leave the Qi King’s Manor.

   

Mu Zi Ling was furious. She wasn’t in the mood to contemplate what Long Xiao Yu meant with his words. She brought it down to the fact that his highness had only said what he said because he cared about reputation.

   

However, everything had their weaknesses. Since the beginning, it had always been her playing with other. No one had ever played her like this before.

   

Le Tian, this mess was your fault, yet you are trying to make this Princess clean it up. The next time I see you, if I don't make you clean up your own mess, then you can start writing my name backwards!

(TL Note: She is basically saying that she will get back at him.)

   

Elsewhere, Le Tian, who had left the Qi King’s Manor and was flying towards the Black Bamboo Park, suddenly sneezed and almost fell out of the skies.

   

He held on tightly to his thin clothes. He was already so far away from the Yu Han Palace, but why was it still so cold?
