Chapter 36 part2

“You can first sit down over there,” Mu Zi Ling pointed Long Xiao Nan to a soft

mattress beside her because she didn’t want to hear those two flattering her

anymore. Although she did like to be complimented, being complimented by two

grown men was embarrassing, ok?

“Before that, I would like to thank Third Imperial Sister in law for your troubles,” said

Long Xiao Nan gently, before walking towards the soft mattress to sit down.

Mu Zi Ling set the medical box on the table, the moment she opened the box with

her fingerprint, a head appeared before her eyes.

“Wow, Third Sister in law! How come you can put so many things in this medical box,

but it’s still so light?” asked Long Xiao Ze curiously.

Ever since last time, he had been curious about Mu Zi Ling’s medical box, and had

always wanted to take a look of what's inside. When she was opening the box earlier,

he had been reaching his head over, itching to see what was inside.

Even if the box was empty, it still shouldn’t be so light, however Third Sister in law

had placed a ton of stuff in that box.

“You need to move out of my way,” said Mu Zi Ling, as she grabbed onto Long Xiao

Ze’s ears and removed his exploring head. These items were only the surface, she

had put a lot more stuff into the inner area. However, Long Xiao Ze did not see that.

“Ah… it hurts…. Third Sister in law let go, it hurts,” shouted Long Xiao Ze

exaggeratingly. Why was Third Sister in law being so petty? He only wanted to get a

glance. Why did she have to pull his ear?

Mu Zi Ling let Long Xiao Ze go, and then she started to take out the things she

needed from the box. Then she shut the box with a “bang”

sound. What a joke! There

were so many secrets in the box, so how could she let someone examine it?

“Third Sister in law….” Long Xiao Ze looked pitifully at Mu Zi Ling. He still didn’t want

to give up finding out why the box was so light.

“Enough Sixth Brother. At this rate, I won’t even need to swap medicines anymore,”

said Long Xiao Nan helplessly as he watched Long Xiao Ze. Sixth Brother was still

as unruly, without a care as before. Other than Third Brother who could control him

for a while, no-one else had a way to deal with him.

However, Long Xiao Ze didn’t listen to Long Xiao Nan and continued stare at Mu Zi

Ling, his face longing for information. It was as if he would die if he didn’t know the

reason behind this.

“You want to know? Before I tell you, you have to first try out the enhanced

honeydew concoction,” said Mu Zi Ling with a no nonsense expression.

There would be no way to control him if she didn’t give him something severe. On

the way here, Long Xiao Ze was so quiet that she had started to think that there was

something wrong with him, but now it appeared that she had just been over thinking.

The second they reached the Nan He Palace, Long Xiao Ze had returned to being

his annoying and talkative self.

When Long Xiao Ze heard this, he ferociously shook his head and obediently shut

up. Naively, he thought to himself that he would have to try invent a cure to the

honeydew concoction so he didn’t have to be afraid of his Third Sister in law

anymore.

Long Xiao Nan gave a knowing laugh. So this was the method Third Imperial Sister

in law used to control this sloppy Sixth Brother of his.

After Mu Zi Ling was finished with Long Xiao Ze, she started to switch Long Xiao

Ze’s bandages.

As she removed the gauze on Long Xiao Nan’s head layer by layer, her long

sleeves indistinctly brushed past Long Xiao Nan’s face, and the fragrance of a

young girl entered his nostrils.

Long Xiao Nan’s face slowly started to turn red. From start to finish he had held his

breath, not daring to let out a single sound. On the other side, when Mu Zi Ling

worked, she entered a state of complete concentration, and didn’t notice him acting

different.

It seemed like half a century has passed before Mu Zi Ling finished wrapping up the

wound. Then she started to pack up her tools.

Long Xiao Nan also lightly let out his breath. This was his first time being so close to

a woman. Only the gods knew that his heart was beating so fast that his throat had

started to itch.

At this moment, off to the side, Long Xiao Ze seemed to notice the difference in Long

Xiao Nan’s face. He then worriedly asked, “Fifth Brother, are you ok? Why is your

face so red? Was it really painful?”

When Mu Zi Ling heard Long Xiao Ze’s voice, she also turned towards Long Xiao

Nan. Oh gosh, why was his face so red?

She walked over to Long Xiao Nan’s side, and looked at the wound she just finished

wrapping up. Then she worriedly asked, “Are you ok? Did I accidently wrap the

bandage too hard that it’s hurting you? Let me rewrap it.”

When Long Xiao Nan heard Mu Zi ling say that she would rewrap it, his face turned

even more red. He dodged the hand that Mu Zi Ling had stretched over and said,

“Ha.. Ha… I’m fine. It was probably because it was too stuffy in here. I will get better

in a bit.”

“It’s good that you’re okay, and it is indeed somewhat stuffy in here. You are sick, so

you should open the window more often to let in some air so you can get well sooner.

Also you shouldn’t use your brain too much, so try to not read so much.”

When Mu Zi Ling heard him said that he was fine, she also let out a breath. She just

reminded him because earlier, when she came in she had seen him holding a book.

Long Xiao Nan had already slowly recovered from embarrassment and replied,

“I know, thank you Third Imperial Sister in law.”

“Fifth Prince does not have to regard me as an outsider. I still have matters of my own

to take care of, so I have to leave. You can keep this medicine here, since you will still

have to change the it two more times. I have already wrote down how to use the

medicine, so all you need to do is to find a trustworthy imperial doctor who can switch

your medicine. In the future, I won’t be coming here anymore.”

Mu Zi Ling remembered that she still had to get her land deed from the Night Rain

restaurant, so she didn’t want to stay here for much longer.

The last two times that his medicine needed changing would be really simple, and

any imperial doctor would be able to do it. She wanted to get out of the Royal

Palace’s deep waters and scorching fires as soon as possible since someone

unwanted would definitely hear about her visit to the Royal Palace. She needed to

take advantage of the fact that no one was looking for her her yet and leave now.

However although the thought was simple, the reality was very different. Whatever

you wanted to stay away from, would end up finding you and not leave.

It was then that an uninvited guest arrived.
