Chapter 30: The Empress does not have good intentions part 1
The Empress Dowager’s expression was a bit dark. She laughed fakely and said, “Of course, of course. This Dowager won’t force you then. Servants! Arrange a carriage to go back to the palace! This Dowager is feeling tired now”
Before the Empress Dowager left, she didn’t forget to shoot the Empress a look before glaring at imperial doctor Li.
“Have a safe journey Empress Dowager”
The Empress Dowager arrived early and brought a big group of people here to look for trouble. However she didn’t get to do anything, and was filled with anger.
This time Mu Zi Ling was really pulling out fur from a tiger. Her future days probably wouldn't be so easy anymore.
She would have to live carefully in the future. If she didn’t, someone may catch her by her tail.
“This Empress will also be returning to the palace. Ling’er you are a princess. It isn’t proper for you to stay and take care of Xiao Yu. Imperial doctor Li will stay here and watch over him instead. Everyone else can go back too.
The Empress naturally knew what the Empress Dowager meant when she looked at her and imperial doctor Li. Right now, she was setting up the trap.
The Empress Dowager left, so the show is over!
Naturally, the Empress didn’t want to stay here for any longer. This time, Long Xiao Nan was completely fine, and he even had his headaches cured. The person who was the angriest would probably the Empress.
She was originally very happy, but now she had to take some time to make her decisions. However, there seemed to somebody who didn't want her to just leave so easily.
“Empress sister, Xiao Nan is fine now. There will be no need for imperial doctor Li to remain. There’s this Concubine here to take care of him. There’s no need to trouble you.”
Once Concubine Li saw that the Empress was leaving the imperial doctor here as she left, she quickly stood up, wiped her tears, and said that.
Imperial doctor Li was one of the Empress’s people. How could she rashly just let him remain after Long Xiao Nan’s headaches were finally cured with so much trouble.
She was really grateful towards Mu Zi Ling for curing Long Xiao Nan. However, with the way Mu Zi Ling talked to the Empress Dowager just then, the Empress Dowager definitely wouldn’t just let it go.
Right now, the Empress was telling imperial doctor Li to stay here. In the end, it would be her son who received the harm
Although this son of hers hated for her to fight, especially with the Empress everyday, she didn't really have much of a choice. If she wanted to survive in the harem, she must be powerful, otherwise she would be stomped on.
Her son, after all, was a person that she made. How could she bear let something happen to him?
The Empress wasn’t happy when she heard her, “Sister, look at what you are saying. This Empress was just trying to help Xiao Nan. In addition, Ling’er is a woman as well as the Qi Princess. Could it be that you want Ling’er to stay here? What a scandal!”
“Empress sister is right. This concubine naturally wouldn't ask the Qi Princess to take care of Xiao Nan. However, imperial doctor Li doesn’t know how to take care of a patient after a surgery. Why would you want him to stay.” concubine Li’s aura was like a rainbow. It seemed like she would keep fighting with the Empress.
The Empress ignored her attitude and continued to talk, “Sister, no matter how you look at it, imperial doctor Li has been in the palace for many years now. What kind of injury has he not seen before? He would definitely be able to perform an operation if he was to open a wound. It would be better for him to take care of Xiao Nan instead of someone who was just pretending to know and only here to make trouble.
When concubine Li heard these words, she started being a bit angry. However, she still didn’t show any weaknesses, “Empress sister is right. Then let imperial doctor Lin stay. Imperial doctor Lin’s medical skills are not lower than imperial doctor Li’s. Since he is here, this Concubine can relax a little.
Concubine Li’s word's meanings were very obvious.The Empress was saying that she was trying to say that she was going to cause trouble while turning corners. She didn’t need anyone to take care of her own son. She wanted to leave behind a wicked doctor to try harm her son? She would not let that happen.
Two woman were bickering in high fighting spirits.
Off to the side, Mu Zi Ling listened to them happily. This was her first time watching a palace fight in person.
Mu Zi Ling could not help but say that the Empress was more difficult to deal with than what she expected. The Empress was neither arrogant nor impatient. It seemed like she had everything in her control.
Concubine Li was also very smart, she knew that she couldn't leave the Empress’s people here. However, if the two of them kept fighting, it wasn’t certain who would win.
Long Xiao Yu seemed to be only interested when Mu Zi Ling was fighting the Empress Dowager earlier. When he saw the other women keep chattering and jabbering on, he couldn’t stand it anymore. He coldly glanced at the woman who was taking joy in the calamity.
The Empress was just about to say something, when she was cut off by someone else.
“Mu Zi Ling, you were the one who cured the patient. You make the decision.” said Long Xiao Yu in a cold piercing voice, breaking apart the two who were arguing endlessly.
Once Long Xiao Yu finished talking, the Empress and concubine Li all turned to Mu Zi Ling.
What?! Why did Long Xiao Yu have to pull her in?? He was ruining her good mood. She hadn’t heard enough yet… She was still thinking about who would win in the end.
However, if it was just him was ruining her mood, it was fine because she still didn’t dare not listen to him. Then she sincerely said, “Your highness, there is actually no need to make things so complicated. Three days later, this wife will come back to switch the medicine. The patient only needs to eat light stuff. The thing that the patient needs the most now, is to rest in a quiet environment. Make sure he doesn’t use his brain too much. There’s also no need to leave an imperial doctor to take care of the patient.”
She knew that before Long Xiao Nan made a full recovery, she couldn't relax. It was not known whether or not the Empress Dowager would pull any other moves. She would still have be very alert about what was going on.
No matter how short they were on people to take care of Long Xiao Nan, they still shouldn’t go look for people in the Royal Palace. She believed that Long Xiao Yu would not be so careless, leaving a person that was on the Empress Dowager’s side. They were clearly looking for trouble when there was nothing wrong.
Mu Zi Ling’s words were true and real. When the Empress heard them, she was also cut short of her words.
Concubine Li followed what Mu Zi Ling said, “Empress sister, the Qi Princess said we do not need imperial doctors. It will be too noisy with so many people. There will be no need for you to worry about this matter.”
The Empress had been in the harem for many years, and she had also been in many battles. Naturally, she would not fly out in rage, just because of concubine Li’s words.
Her expressions didn’t change and she was still lightly smiling while she said, “Since the situation is how it is, then sister must take good care of Xiao Nan. This Empress will be going back now.”
Just like that, the group of people grandiosely came and grandiosely left.
