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 didnât know the reason why.
Why did Long Xiao Yu suddenly bring it up anyways?
Also, why was she not allowed to not associate with the Qi Kingâs Manor?
Is Long Xiao Yu okay?
Wasn't he the one who said that she was a stranger? What do you mean Iâm not allowed not associate myself with the Qi Kingâs Manor?
What was going on?
Why?
Long Xiao Yu eyes flashed. He didn't reply to Mu Zi Lingâs question, and started walking out instead.
Mu Zi Ling was still staring off into space, 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.
âBecause this king forbids it.â
Once Long Xiao Yu coldly threw those words at her, he left without looking back.
Because he forbids it? Why doesnât 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 couldnât move.
âYoung Miss, why are you just standing here? Have his highness and doctor Le Tian leave yet?â asked Xie, looking around the room.
âYeah,â said Mu Zi Ling blankly, still staring off into space.
One, two, threeâ¦...
Mu Zi Ling suddenly jolted. Her eyes widened. She grabbed onto the corner of Xieâs clothes and asked in haste, âXie what did you just say?â
âThis.. This servant asked why the Young Miss was just standing there.â Xie was so startled by Mu Zi Lingâs sudden movements that she almost dropped the plates in her hand.
âNot that part, the other thing,â questioned Mu Zi Ling again.
âThe other part? Oh, did his highness and doctor Le Tian leave yet?â replied Xie with a bit of consideration.
Why was Young Miss acting so strange today? Wasnât she the one who said that his highness and doctor Le Tian had left already? Why did she still have to ask?
âYou were in the kitchen this whole time earlier. How did you know that the Qi King was here?â asked Mu Zi Ling, letting go of Xieâs hand. The feeling that something was wrong kept itching at her.
âYoung Miss, whatâs 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?â 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.
Heâs 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, âDamn it, Le Tian,â harshly.
âXie, did Le Tian really come over by himself?â asked Mu Zi Ling.
âNo, when Young Miss fell asleep three days ago, his highness ordered Gui Ying to bring Le Tian over.â 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 Tianâs 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 didnât 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 Tianâs 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 Yuâs words meant that she was still the Qi Princess. With that, she still couldnât leave the Qi Kingâs Manor.
Mu Zi Ling was furious. She wasnât 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 Kingâs 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?
