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

Chapter 82: Not a mouth-to-mouth kiss

Mo Zhen took a step closer to Leng Yuling and asked in a low voice, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You are my empress. If you don't bear children for me, for whom will you bear them?"

"I……"

Just as Leng Yuling opened her mouth, Mo Xuan's voice came from not far away: "The lake water is so nice, why don't we go boating?"

Upon hearing Mo Xuan's plan, Leng Yuling hurriedly pushed Mo Zhen aside, ran to Mo Xuan, raised her hand and said, "Great, great, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Because Ma Zhiyun and Leng Ruoxi thought she was too weak, she did not go boating with them, but stayed on the shore to rest.

"I wish to sit with His Majesty," Consort Jing suddenly stepped forward and said.

Leng Yuling couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. Letting her come along was a mistake. She should have been having fun. Just hearing her voice made her feel disgusted.

Originally, she planned to travel with Mo Zhen, but when she thought that Consort Jing would also be traveling together, she quietly walked over to Bai Xiaozi's side.

Once on board, Bai Xiaozi asked, "Why not travel with the Emperor?"

Leng Yuling shook her head, leaned over the side of the boat, put her hand in the water, and felt the gentle sensation of the water flowing through her fingers.

In the end, he only said three words: "She's too noisy."

Consort Jing was indeed noisy and annoying. On the boat, she kept shouting, "Your Majesty, this is my first time on a boat. I'm so scared, Your Majesty."

As she spoke, she continued to hold tightly to Mo Zhen's arm. Leng Yuling found her amusing, and although she was about to get angry, she felt pleasant after seeing Mo Zhen's calm expression.

Although Consort Jing was the daughter of Mo Zhen's mentor and also his concubine, Mo Zhen did not show any sign of liking her, which was enough to make Leng Yuling happy.

"Master, look, this water is so clear! You can even see the pebbles at the bottom." Leng Yuling leaned down to look at the lake water and couldn't help but marvel at the charm of nature.

"Master, are there any fish in this lake?" Before Bai Xiaozi could answer, she continued, "Fish from freshwater lakes should taste delicious steamed."

Looking at the lake, Leng Yuling thought of fish and how to cook them, a thought process that was quite unusual for ordinary people.

Before they could play in the water for long, they heard a 'plop' not far away. When they turned back, they heard someone shouting, "The Emperor and Consort Jing have fallen into the water!"

"Quickly, someone come and save the Emperor from the water!" A hurried voice came from nearby. Leng Yuling looked up and saw that Mo Zhen and Consort Jing's boat was already empty, but there were many people in the lake.

The lake water seemed to have a bottom, but it was actually very deep. If they didn't get the person ashore quickly, the chances of survival would be slim. Thinking of this, Leng Yuling jumped into the water without saying a word.

In her previous life, she had been drowned as a child, and she was determined to learn to swim. Although she was not as good as Sun Yang, she could still move freely in the lake, which was more than 100 meters deep.

Seeing Leng Yuling jump into the water, Ma Zhiyun and Leng Ruoxi on the shore couldn't help but become nervous: "Your Majesty (elder sister)."

"Xiao Ling." Bai Xiaozi called out, making a move to jump into the water, but heard Leng Yuling turn around and say, "Master, you go ashore first and prepare to rescue people."

Even at this point, she was still only focused on saving people. Bai Xiaozi narrowed his eyes before signaling the rower to bring the boat to the shore.

At this moment, Leng Yuling had already swum to Mo Zhen's side, put her arm around his waist, and swam towards the shore, while Consort Jing was rescued by Mo Xuan.

Consort Jing was fine, but Mo Zhen had drowned and fainted.

"Your Majesty, he..."

Consort Jing leaned closer, but before she could finish speaking, Leng Yuling interrupted her, saying coldly, "Shut up."

Instead of calling Bai Xiaozi, she used the rescue method she learned from drowning in her previous life, skillfully untying Mo Zhen's clothes and belt.

Leng Yuling knelt on one knee and bent the other, saying to Mo Xuan beside her, "Help me lift him onto my lap." She laid Mo Zhen face down on her bent thigh, intending to make him vomit the water, but there was no reaction. Then she laid him flat on the ground.

Leng Yuling pried open Mo Zhen's mouth and kissed him without any hesitation. The people around them were stunned, clearly not knowing what she was doing.

The servants avoided eye contact, but Mo Xuan stepped forward, puzzled, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"To save people." Leng Yuling answered Mo Xuan's question during a lull in the conversation.

After that, no one dared to disturb her at this time. Even the medical sage Bai Xiaozi did not know what kind of medical skill she was using, and had never seen such a way of saving people.

Leng Yuling repeatedly breathed into Mo Zhen's mouth and performed CPR on him. After a long time, Mo Zhen finally spat out a mouthful of water.

Woke up!

Seeing Mo Zhen open his eyes, Leng Yuling finally breathed a sigh of relief, then placed her hand on his wrist: "It's alright, he's finally alright." His pulse was normal.

However, Mo Zhen noticed that everyone was looking at them, and Leng Yuling was now riding on his back. He couldn't help but cough softly, "I'm fine."

"I know you're alright. I'm a doctor. Remember, I saved your life again," Leng Yuling said with a hint of pride.

Mo Zhen looked at her and said in a low voice, "Then can you get off me now?"

Upon hearing Mo Zhen's words, Leng Yuling realized the indescribable actions she had taken with Mo Zhen and awkwardly got off him.

Leng Ruoxi and Ma Zhiyun then came over. Leng Ruoxi was about to speak when Ma Zhiyun spoke first, asking worriedly, "Your Majesty, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"

Mo Zhen sat up from the ground, looked at Ma Zhiyun, and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

However, he had no idea how Leng Yuling had saved him, nor did he know why others were looking at Leng Yuling with such strange eyes.

"Just now, the Empress jumped into the water to save you without regard for anything else, and then..." Ma Zhiyun could never bring herself to say the words "she breathed for him with her mouth," and she really didn't know how to describe it.

“Artificial respiration.” Leng Yuling knew what Ma Zhiyun was ashamed to say, and she also knew that these people might not understand her behavior, so she explained, “That’s called artificial respiration. It’s for saving lives, not just a simple mouth-to-mouth kiss as you might think.”

It wasn't until he heard Leng Yuling's words that Mo Zhen became curious about what she had just done to him.

He glanced around and saw that everyone seemed to lower their heads. Moreover, from Leng Yuling's words, he could tell that Leng Yuling had just kissed him on the lips.

However, his empress showed no shame in kissing him in public; instead, she remained composed.

What kind of woman is she?
