The cold emperor reigns supreme, the arrogant empress begs for a truce.

Chapter 67: Your Master Will Always Be Your Master

Upon entering the room, Mo Zhen saw Leng Yuling resting her chin on her hand, seemingly deep in thought. Seeing this, Mo Zhen stopped and stood there watching her.

He seemed to have rarely seen Leng Yuling so serious, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. He didn't even know how long he stood there watching her, only that his legs were a little numb when he lifted his foot.

"Have you figured it out?" Mo Zhen walked to Leng Yuling's side, looked at her, and asked in a low voice.

Leng Yuling was startled by the sudden voice. She paused for a moment before looking up at him. After a while, she shook her head helplessly and continued to rest her chin on her hand: "I can't figure it out. I just can't figure it out."

What exactly is the difference between herself and Bai Xiaozi? She has clearly lived two lives, and she clearly possesses the medical skills of two lifetimes. Even in her previous life, she seems to have never encountered a patient like this.

The illness is not serious, but it is always incurable. If it is an illness that she was born with, then why can't she see it at all?

Moreover, she always felt that Ma Zhiyun's illness was not as simple as Bai Xiaozi and the others had described, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, which was the reason for her greatest frustration.

Leng Yuling couldn't help but sigh again.

Mo Zhen placed the prescription that Bai Xiaozi had just given him in front of Leng Yuling: "This was given to you by your master. He said you will understand once you see it."

He wasn't a doctor, so he couldn't understand these prescriptions at all, but it was different for Leng Yuling.

Originally, he didn't want Bai Xiaozi's position in Leng Yuling's heart to rise another level because of this prescription, but seeing her frowning, he really softened.

Leng Yuling picked up the prescription and read it from beginning to end. Her already furrowed brows furrowed even more as she muttered, "There's nothing wrong with this."

They were all common or conditioning medicines, but they were completely different from what she had expected, which made her even more troubled.

She put down the prescription, covered her head with her hands, and cried out, "My head hurts!"

“Your master will always be your master.” Although he couldn’t understand the prescription, he could tell what Leng Yuling wanted to know.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuling looked up at him and realized for the first time that what Mo Zhen said made sense.

As expected of a master, Bai Xiaozi's medical skills are indeed superior to hers, and by a significant margin.

Armor, iron armor!

Because of Mo Zhen's words, she suddenly understood and stopped being so persistent. In any case, she would learn more by following Bai Xiaozi.

Finally, I can get a good night's sleep.

-

When she woke up, Mo Zhen was no longer beside her. Unlike before, when they were on their way back, they could get up at the same time every day.

Now, back in Southern Chu, Mo Zhen is the emperor of Southern Chu. He has to attend the morning court every day and handle various national affairs. Whenever Leng Yuling thinks about this, she always feels that Mo Zhen seems to be quite capable.

As soon as Ziyan entered, she saw Leng Yuling leaning against the bed with a smile on her face, and knew that she was in a good mood today.

"Your Highness, you seem to be in a good mood today. Why don't you take advantage of the nice weather and go for a walk?" Ever since returning from Bei Mo and having a cold war with Mo Zhen, Leng Yuling's mood hasn't been very good, so Zi Yan thought of this.

Leng Yuling turned her head to look out the window. The sun was shining brightly, but it wasn't too hot because it was morning, so she nodded.

After having a simple breakfast, Leng Yuling took Ziyan for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

Actually, she wasn't a flower lover, but because the weather was nice, the flowers were blooming beautifully, and their fragrance filled the air, she felt quite happy.

This was a rare moment of freedom for her in the palace. Breathing in the slightly floral-scented air, she couldn't help but open her arms, take a deep breath, and two words suddenly came to mind: This is wonderful!

"You are nothing but an appendage brought by the Empress. What right do you have to flaunt your power in front of me?" Just as she was in a good mood, she heard a voice coming from not far away.

She paused, peered towards the direction of the sound, and asked, "Who's up ahead? Are they arguing?"

Seeing Leng Yuling's furtive and timid demeanor, which was hardly befitting an empress, Ziyan couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, if you are curious, why not go and take a look? Why be so sneaky?"

"What do you know? This is my favorite place to eavesdrop. Eavesdropping is what makes it fun." Leng Yuling waved her hand, but her steps forward unconsciously became lighter.

Ziyan couldn't help but shake her head. Leng Yuling was truly the most unpretentious empress she had ever met, and also the empress with the least self-awareness she had ever seen.

The empress was the head of the harem, and the most taboo thing in the harem was gossiping behind people's backs. As the empress, she not only did not stop it, but she also went to eavesdrop.

"My lady..."

Just as Ziyan was about to speak to persuade her, Leng Yuling interrupted her, placing her index finger in the center of her lips and gently shushing her. The latter could only helplessly shut her mouth.

The argument ahead continued, and the closer Leng Yuling got, the clearer she could hear it.

"So what if you're the Empress's sister? You're still just a concubine's daughter. Besides, even the Empress is only temporarily favored by the Emperor in this palace. How long do you think a woman without a powerful backer can enjoy that favor?" The woman's words were full of sarcasm.

As Leng Yuling got closer, she realized that the person speaking was none other than Consort Jing, whom she had just publicly berated, and the person bowing her head and being reprimanded in front of Consort Jing was none other than her half-sister Leng Ruoxi, who had come from the Northern Desert.

Hearing Consort Jing insult Leng Yuling in this way, Leng Ruoxi spoke up to defend her: "Eldest sister is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister of the Northern Desert and the Empress of the Southern Chu Kingdom. Naturally, she has a noble status and is deeply favored by the Emperor. Consort Jing, please do not speak of eldest sister in this way."

"Oh, so you're standing up for your elder sister?" Consort Jing picked at her fingernails, looked Leng Ruoxi up and down, and continued to mock, "You should also look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are!"

No sooner had Consort Jing finished speaking than her attendant maidservant shouted, "How dare you talk back to Consort Jing!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a maidservant of Consort Jing gave her a look, and Leng Ruoxi was forced down and made to kneel directly in front of Consort Jing.

Leng Yuling, who was watching the show from behind the bushes, didn't make a move, but Ziyan beside her couldn't help but worry: "Your Highness, the young lady..."

Leng Yuling raised her hand to signal Ziyan to be quiet. She wanted to see what Leng Ruoxi would do next. Although Ziyan was puzzled, she could only shut up.

"As long as you say you know you were wrong and shouldn't have talked back to me, I will forgive you." Consort Jing dared to be so presumptuous because she relied on her father.

However, Leng Ruoxi refused to back down and said with a hint of stubbornness, "Whether in the Northern Desert or the Southern Chu, elder sister is a noble woman!"

"you!"

Consort Jing raised her hand, but Yang's hand, which was in mid-air, was firmly grasped.
