The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C184
Chapter 183 – Long Yan’s Great Fury
“You called me?”
Leng Mu was a little apprehensive. Why did the incident with the flying darts make the Emperor Ming more wary of him?
Lin He nodded his head helplessly.
“You must be careful when you deliver it to him later. I’ve heard that the Emperor’s temper was greatly infuriated by the assassination attempt recently.”
“Alright, I will be careful.” Leng Mu took a deep breath.
If they tried to stop him, they would just die.
Lin He helplessly shook his head, but just as he was about to speak, footsteps came from the Taiyuan Hospital.
“Imperial Physician Lin, is the emperor’s soul calming medicine ready yet? The emperor was rushing him? Aren’t you being too inefficient? ” When the Young Eunuch next to the Emperor saw Lin He, they immediately scolded him.
“Eunuch, wait a little longer. Tell Leng Mu to send the medicine over immediately. Eunuch, please report back to the Emperor first. Lin He stuffed a silver ingot into the Young Eunuch’s hands, who then left the room unwillingly.
When the medicine was ready, Lin He hurriedly took the medicine into the bowl.
One had to be careful in the imperial palace. Even the slightest mistake could cause one’s head to fall off.
“Alright, hurry up and send them over. You must be careful. It is better to not put up with something than to plot something big.” Lin He indicated and looked at Leng Mu.
Leng Mu nodded his head, he obviously knew that the reason he had sent the spirit calming medicine this time was probably because it was a test by the Emperor Ming. From the day he had entered the palace, the first time he had seen him, the look in his eyes had been very strange.
Currently, in the imperial study, Emperor Ming’s face was flushed red. Two eunuchs were trembling uncontrollably as they knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.
“Drag them out and kill them for me.” Emperor Ming was not in a good mood in the first place, adding on the assassination attempt, these eunuchs would make him angry if they waited on him even slightly inappropriately.
The eunuchs and maids all knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
Leng Mu walked to the entrance of the imperial study, and heard that something was amiss.
When the eunuch at the door saw Leng Mu, he hurriedly came forward to welcome him and berated him, “My little ancestor, why have you only just delivered the medicine? The emperor is angry now.
Leng Mu was not in a good position to defend himself, he could only lower his head.
“Hurry up and enter!” I won’t accompany you in. ” The eunuch knew that the emperor was in a bad mood today, so he didn’t dare to provoke him.
“Greetings Emperor Ming. This is the An Shen Tang that Imperial Physician Lin sent to the Emperor.” Leng Mu lowered his head and entered the royal study.
A few guards dragged the two young eunuchs out of the palace, and the Emperor Ming’s cold gaze swept over Leng Mu’s body.
Leng Mu kneeled down, with a respectful look.
The Emperor Ming had always been very smart, Leng Mu did not wish for him to see through any tricks.
“I do want to see if I can kill these dog slaves after I drink this An Shen Tang. If I don’t get better after drinking it, you will be punished together with those young eunuchs.”
Emperor Ming was indeed more merciless than before, he could not help but lose his head.
Leng Mu had long since predicted that he would not be able to return smoothly from the time he sent the An Shen Tang over.
“Hurry and bring the emperor up.” The young eunuch by Emperor Ming’s side reprimanded.
“Yes.” Leng Mu stood up and walked up to Emperor Ming’s dragon table. Seeing that Emperor Ming only looked at him coldly and did not tell him to stop, he did not dare stop on his own accord and continued to walk forward.
“Put it on the table!” The young eunuch glared at Leng Mu unhappily.
Leng Mu placed the spirit calming medicine on the Emperor Ming’s table. This spirit calming medicine was only an ordinary medicine, how could it disappear just by drinking a bowl of medicine? All of this was because Emperor Ming wanted to find fault with him.
Emperor Ming picked up the soup, but before he could drink it, he waved his hand and threw the soup at Leng Mu.
“It’s so hot. Do you want to burn me to death?” Emperor Ming was infuriated. The eunuchs kneeling at the entrance of the hall outside had originally hoped that this bowl of Spirit Calming Medicine would be able to save their lives, but in the end, they were unable to escape the calamity and were pulled out by the guards.
This medicine would probably be extremely cold from the Taiyuan Hospital all the way here, how could it still be hot? It was clearly trying to provoke him, he definitely could not be fooled by it.
Emperor Ming waved his hand, signaling the young eunuchs beside him to withdraw, and only and Emperor Ming remained in the room.
Leng Mu looked at the bowl that was thrown on the ground, and had no choice but to kneel down and pick it up.
“Did I let you pick it up?” This soup is so hot, who asked you to send it over just like that? ” It seemed that the Emperor Ming wanted to use the name of soup to make things difficult for him and the Imperial Physician Lin.
“Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This servant was wrong. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life.” Leng Mu knew that the more humble his posture was, the more chance he would have to live.
“Calm down? I am fine with it, but you have to eat the An Shen Tang that I poured out earlier. ” Emperor Ming’s eyes revealed killing intent. For the first time, Emperor Ming felt that Leng Mu was unlike him, who was honest and scheming. He wanted to see if he would obey him or come up with an excuse.
Leng Mu lowered his head and gritted his teeth. Since young, when had he ever been humiliated to such an extent? Now that he was actually at the Emperor Ming’s feet, he was definitely unwilling to give up, but thinking about the future, Leng Mu still endured it in the end.
He bent down and licked the An Shen Tang on the ground.
He definitely was not him, he definitely would not be so humble.
Emperor Ming felt a wave of happiness in his heart, and his mood became slightly better.
At this time, Imperial Consort Yu, who had always been spoiled, walked in carrying a bowl of soup. Seeing Leng Mu licking the ground, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Greetings, Your Majesty. The soup that your concubine has made for you has been prepared. Please try it on your behalf, Your Majesty.”
Leng Mu’s fingers could not help but tighten, but he did not reveal it on the surface.
The Emperor Ming was obviously punishing, and what he wanted to drink was not the An Shen Tang.
“Please get up Love Consort. Scram for us.” Emperor Ming asked Leng Mu harshly as he carried Imperial Consort Yu up, his face filled with tenderness.
“This servant will take his leave.” Leng Mu crawled up from the ground with his head lowered, looking timid and incapable.
He could not let the Emperor Ming doubt him even a little, only then would he be able to survive in this palace.
“Your majesty, why do you have to go against a servant? It wouldn’t be good if your body got mad.” Although the relationship between the Imperial Consort Yu and him was good, she was not familiar with Leng Mu.
“Seeing Love Consort, my mood is very good. Let me have a taste of your soup.” Emperor Ming had recently become more and more fond of Imperial Consort Yu. He sipped the soup from his bowl and nodded his head continuously, saying: “Love Consort’s cooking skills are getting better and better, I like this taste very much.”
Imperial Consort Yu smiled and said, “Then how about chenqie making drinks for the emperor every day?”
Emperor Ming held onto Imperial Consort Yu’s finger and doted on him: “Then I’ll be troubling you.”
“Your majesty, what are you talking about? Your concubine is willing.” Imperial Consort Yu nestled into Emperor Ming’s embrace bashfully.
Leng Mu walked out of the imperial study, his face turning green. Emperor Ming had gone too far in bullying him, there would be a day when he would pay back double the amount.
When Leng Mu passed by the Huishang Hall, he saw the Concubine Qin sitting on the swing in a daze.
He was also furious when he saw this woman. But all of a sudden, there was nothing.
He couldn’t help but walk in, and came to Qin Luofei’s side.
“Concubine Qin, what are you thinking about? You’re not in good health, be careful of catching a cold. ”
“Master Leng, why are you here?” What happened last time made the Emperor Ming misunderstand. Leng Mu almost dropped his head, and Qin Luo Fei looked at him as he walked in, her gaze sweeping past Leng Mu and looking towards the entrance of the Huishang Hall.
“I just delivered some medicine to the Emperor Ming. I saw a man in a daze, so I came in to take a look out of curiosity.” Leng Mu gazed at Qin Luofei with a very gentle gaze.
Qin Luofei was thinking about the matter of the flying darts. If Emperor Yun was still in the capital, why hadn’t he contacted his on his own accord?
She thought for a long time, but still couldn’t think of a way to contact him. Furthermore, the Emperor Ming in the palace was keeping a close eye on him. If he found out that Emperor Ming had this kind of thought, he would definitely lose his head.
“I was just daydreaming, why?” Has Emperor Ming also started drinking the Imperial Physician Lin’s medicine recently? Is Emperor Ming in good health? ” When Qin Luofei heard Emperor Ming’s name for Imperial Physician Lin’s medicine, she could not bear to have any difference.
“It’s just a bowl of An Shen Tang.” Leng Mu didn’t want Qin Luofei to worry, so he indifferently said.
“Doctor Leng, what happened to you? You don’t look too good. Could it be that you’ve been wronged? ” Qin Luofei could vaguely guess from his tone that Emperor Ming was deliberately making things difficult for the two of them. Could it be because of what happened last time?
“If you can’t say that you feel wronged, then who in the palace doesn’t feel wronged? Unless it’s a person sitting on the Nine-Five Supremes’ seat. ” Leng Mu’s eyes dimmed as he said this.
Qin Luofei noticed his expression and revealed a face of suspicion.
“Master Leng, what are you thinking?”
“No, I was just hoping that one day when Emperor Ming’s mood is good, there won’t be so many people suffering.” Leng Mu quickly changed the topic, in case Qin Luofei continued to question him.
“Ever since the enthronement of the throne, the temper of the Emperor has changed a lot. Accompanying a tiger has always been a habit of your own. Master Leng, you must be careful. ” Qin Luofei didn’t know why she had such a strange feeling towards this Leng Mu. As she spoke, she was also somewhat out of bounds, and was speaking frankly in front of him.
“concubine, if these words of yours were to spread, it would be terrible if others would hear it.” Leng Mu reminded her in a low voice.
Qin Luofei nodded slightly, “Of course I know. There’s only the two of us here.”
“Thank you for your trust in me, Concubine Qin. What were you thinking about just now?” Leng Mu’s heart ached, but he was powerless.
Qin Luofei stood up and lightly said: “I’m not thinking anything. I’m just thinking about what would happen if the one who reigns in this world is not the Emperor Ming.”
As she spoke, Qin Luofei couldn’t help but think of her own Princess Tranquil. If her Emperor Yun was here, would he be able to protect her child well?
This was his own child, but Emperor Ming was unable to protect her. The tragedy of her previous life was still played out in Imperial Consort Leng, who was still having fun when she was ill and on the verge of death.
When Qin Luofei thought of this, her eyes could hardly conceal the grief she felt.
“Who else but him?” Leng Mu asked in a testing tone. He wanted to know if this woman was also thinking about him.
Qin Luofei glanced at Leng Mu, and lightly said: “Even if I told you, Imperial Physician Leng wouldn’t know. If you stand here for too long, it will not be good for others to see. ”
Leng Mu naturally understood the meaning behind Qin Luofei’s words. After nodding, he turned around and left.
The moment he returned to the Taiyuan Hospital, Lin He immediately came out of the house and pulled Leng Mu down into the house. He said anxiously: “Are you alright?
