Cold King's Dominating Love, Genius Medical Consort-Chapter 29 part2

Chapter 29: to anger a person to death would have to be paid with one’s life part 2

“Who gave you so much guts?! Xiao Nan is a prince! How could his royal body be allowed to be harmed by you?!” The more unruffled and calm Mu Zi Ling looked, the more angry the Empress Dowager got.

Was the Empress Dowager trying to get her to say that it was Long Xiao Yu who gave her the guts to do so, with her words? Well then, she would just not say it.

Long Xiao Nan was a Prince, so his life was valuable, but Mu Zi Ling’s life was also given by her parents, so she was equally as valuable. Like she was trying to pick bones from an egg, the Empress Dowager was trying to pick out problems when there wasn’t any.

“This wife just did what she had to do in order to cure the patient according to his condition. Currently, the Fifth Prince’s headaches are fully cured. This wife does not know what crime she committed.” said Mu Zi Ling with a voice of justice.

If she really did say that it was Long Xiao Yu who told her to, then she would be dragging Long Xiao Yu down with her. She knew about Long Xiao Yu and Empress Dowager’s relationship.

Right now, Long Xiao Yu was her mountain. If the mountain fell, then she wouldn’t be able to live either. Obviously she wouldn’t want anything to happen to him.

In order to have some form of support, she wanted to keep the title of Qi Princess. Did the Empress Dowager think that she was stupid? If she betrayed Long Xiao Yu, then the Empress Dowager would be shooting down two birds with one stone.

“You dare?!” Empress Dowager had no words, and suddenly exploded. Once again, she underestimated Mu Zi Ling’s abilities.

The Empress Dowager was angry. Apart from Long Xiao Yu, everybody standing off to the side were so scared that not a peep was let out. Long Xiao Yu was just sitting there, sipping on a cup of tea as if this had nothing to do with him.

From the beginning, he had no plans of saying anything. He was wondering how Mu Zi Ling would explain Long Xiao Nan’s situation. He never expected that she would be able to render the Empress Dowager with only a few words. This woman was getting better and better.

Right now, the Empress realized that something was going wrong as she watched the show, so she hopped in to be the peacemaker.

“Mother, don’t be angry. It would be a good thing if Xiao Nan’s illness is cured. We wouldn’t be able to thank Ling’er enough. How can we blame her now? In addition, it was Xiao Yu who brought Ling’er over to cure Xiao Nan. I believe that Xiao Yu would never mess around with Xiao Nan’s life.”

Mu Zi Ling laughed coldly in her heart. The Empress’s words were decorated so prettily. If Long Xiao Nan woke up and was fine, then she would also be fine. The Empress Dowager would just give her some rewards, while also getting back her dignity.

She kicked Long Xiao Yu again. If Long Xiao Nan doesn’t wake up, or something happened in between that time, then Long Xiao Yu must be on her side. She knew that the Empress Dowager hated Long Xiao Yu down to her bones. In such a critical moment she could not forget to remind him of that.

Was the Empress trying to hint for the Empress Dowager to make a move so that Long Xiao Nan would never wake up? If that happened, she would be able to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only would Long Xiao Nan be gone, Long Xiao Yu would also be dragged down. Then at the end, she would also be affected. The people in the palace were not people with good intentions. Even while talking, there were needles hidden in their words.

After hearing the Empress, the Empress Dowager’s facial expressions slowly went back to normal. It seemed like she understood the meaning behind the Empress’s words.

She completely swapped her facial expression and turned to Mu Zi Ling as she benevolently said, “Ling’er, this Dowager was just anxious. This Dowager was only worried about Xiao Nan’s health. Ling’er please don't blame this Dowager for being angry at you.

After she finished talking, she stood up and walked towards Mu Zi Ling. She was about to grab Mu Zi Ling’s hands, but Mu Zi Ling quickly dodged it.

“Empress Dowager, please forgive me but this wife has just finished performing a surgery so this wife’s entire body is filled with the scent of blood. The Empress Dowager has such a noble body, it would be horrible if you were to touch any blood. As long as the Fifth Prince is healthy, then everything will be fine. This wife doesn’t dare lie.”

Mu Zi Ling acted as if she was terrified,

The speed that this Empress Dowager could change her personality was unnaturally fast. Mu Zi Ling’s reaction was almost too slow. If she touched the Empress Dowager’s “noble body”, then she would have to disinfect herself when she got back.

Once the Empress Dowager was dodged by Mu Zi Ling, she was filled with embarrassment. She clenched her hands tightly beneath her sleeves, however, her face was still the same.

Then she continued to talk, “Ling’er is fair and considerate. Not only are you beautiful, you also know how to perform medical operations. This Dowager really did pick the right person for Xiao Yu to marry.”

The second Mu Zi Ling heard this, she almost laughed out loud.

Oh god! How much effort did the Empress Dowager have to put into saying all that?!

A few seconds ago, the Empress Dowager was trying kill her. Now here she was, continuously complimenting her like such a good person. She even said that she picked the right person to marry Long Xiao Yu. Was she not scared of losing her tongue for such a phrase?

“Many thanks towards the Empress Dowager’s compliments.” Mu Zi Ling’s face was even thicker than the Empress Dowager’s.

She didn’t feel the slightest bit of shame and happily accepted all the compliments the Empress Dowager gave her. Was this what the saying ‘to anger a person to death would have to be paid with one’s life’ referred to? Although the other party clearly didn’t mean what they said, you still take it seriously.

Next to her, Long Xiao Ze was laughing so hard inside he almost laughed aloud. Why was his Third Sister in law so shameless?

Everyone knew that the Empress Dowager was only being polite, and didn’t mean a single thing she said. However she still proudly accepted it. Third Sister in law was just too cute.

Once the Empress Dowager heard her, her face stiffened a bit again, but she quickly recovered and said amicably, “Ling’er, even though you’ve been married to our family for so long, this Dowager still hasn’t gotten the chance to give you a welcome gift. Last time, you left too early so I didn’t get a chance. Later, accompany me to the Shuo An Palace, I’ll gift you some treasures.

Mu Zi Ling rolled her eyes in her heart silently. Welcome gift? Even if it was mountains of gold and silver, she still wouldn’t want to go.

“The opportunity to marry his highness the Qi King was the greatest gift I could ever receive. In this wife’s eyes, his highness is more important than anything else so this consort doesn’t dare accept any more rewards.” said Mu Zi Ling ungratefully.

If Empress Dowager said that she wanted to reward her for saving Long Xiao Nan, then she would probably not be able to decline that. However, the Empress Dowager just had to pull Long Xiao Yu in. If she really did accept the Empress Dowager’s rewards, then wouldn’t she be saying that the Qi King was worth less than an item?

The Empress Dowager couldn’t sit still anymore. She couldn’t promise that if she kept talking with Mu Zi Ling, that she would be able to keep her calm against her words….
