Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler - Chapter 409: Never Let Anything Happen to Them (I)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Not long after Zou Qingyuan left, Ouyang Chuan and several Shadow Guardians secretly brought Huhe Huangcheng over.

Huhe Huangcheng was unconscious, his face covered with a towel.

Long Xiaoyuan placed him in the side hall of Qiankun Palace.

Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly at Ouyang Chuan. “Ouyang, you’re right. The accident at Pan Mountain might have something to do with that place.”

Ouyang Chuan’s face immediately changed. “The people in that place didn’t die out?”

“It seems some of them survived.” Liu Suifeng said with a bitter smile and then he became serious. “Ouyang, I need something…”

“Tell me.” Ouyang Chuan hurriedly said.

“Everything left by our master, especially about the venomous insects.”

Ouyang Chuan immediately understood. “I’ll go back and bring them here.”

“Hurry up.” Liu Suifeng said softly.

Ouyang Chuan nodded his understanding and left immediately.

In the middle of the night, Shi Qingzhou woke up.

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t sleep at all, and he had been taking care of Shi Qingzhou. When he saw he wake up, he asked, “”Qingzhou?”

Liu Suifeng was also there, but he was on beam. Although Shi Qingzhou woke up, Liu Suifeng did not go down immediately. He just watched intently on the situation below.

Shi Qingzhou heard Long Xiaoyuan’s voice and groaned in daze, as if he didn’t know where he was.

Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly asked, “Qingzhou, you are awake. How do you feel? Do you feel unwell?”

Shi Qingzhou shook his head. “No… What’s wrong with me?”

“Do you still remember what happened to you?” asked Long Xiaoyuan carefully.

Shi Qingzhou’s expression changed slightly. “What happened to me?”

Long Xiaoyuan paused and then said softly. “Qingzhou, think about it carefully.”

Shi Qingzhou sat up and tried to recall. However, he only remembered when he left Zou Qingyuan. What happened after that?

Shi Qingzhou didn’t remember at all.

“Did you intend to come back immediately after seeing Zou Qingyuan?”

“Yes, but I don’t remember what happened afterwards.” Shi Qingzhou said with a gloomy expression.

Long Xiaoyuan gently touched his cheek. “It’s all right… But didn’t you have many Shadow Guardians with you?”

“Yes, but they were quite some distance from me.”

Long Xiaoyuan paused and glanced at the beam. “Come down.”

Shi Qingzhou looked at the beam too. He was not surprised. In fact, he felt the presence of Liu Suifeng just now.

Liu Suifeng leapt down lightly, “Shi Qingzhou, I will give you a thorough examination.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded.

Liu Suifeng examined him very carefully. After a long time, he said, “I might need to soak you in special medicinal materials.”

Shi Qingzhou had no objection, and Long Xiaoyuan asked directly. “When will we do that?”

“Tomorrow morning. Now go take a rest.”

Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and didn’t object.

Shi Qingzhou said slowly after Liu Suifeng left. “Don’t sleep with me for the time being.”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “What’s wrong?”

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. “Did I hurt you when I lost my memory?”

Long Xiaoyuan said, “Yes, but you failed.”

Shi Qingzhou’s face became gloomy again.

Long Xiaoyuan sighed. “Qingzhou, you can’t make me leave you.”

Shi Qingzhou frowned fiercely.

Long Xiaoyuan took off his clothes and went to bed.

“Aren’t you afraid that we will both fall for the trap laid by others?” Shi Qingzhou said in a low voice.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “I’m not afraid. I will make a decree tomorrow. If we both die, Huanhuan will be enthroned, and your father will be the Regent.” Shi Qingzhou was stunned, saying fiercely, “My father’s surname is Shi.”

“There are too many kings whose surnames are different from the Emperor.” Long Xiaoyuan said indifferently.

Shi Qingzhou’s anger turned into helplessness at sight of Long Xiaoyuan’s unruffled face.

Finally, Shi Qingzhou said slowly. “Forget it. Come up.”

Long Xiaoyuan held Shi Qingzhou’s waist smilingly and wrapped the blanket around them. “Well, that’s nice.”

Shi Qingzhou rolled his eyes. “Liu Suifeng left like that. He didn’t say anything, so I think I should be fine for the time being.”

“Yes, you will be fine.” Long Xiaoyuan said firmly.

Shi Qingzhou looked at him and nodded. “Yes.”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled.

Early the next morning, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou almost woke up at the same time.

Long Xiaoyuan said, “Good morning.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded.

Long Xiaoyuan kissed his lips. “We should get up now. Qingzhou, did you sleep well last night?”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Not bad.”

Liu Suifeng arrived soon.

“Do I need to stay?” Long Xiaoyuan asked Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng nodded, “Yes. I will need you when it’s not convenient for Shi Qingzhou and me to move.”

“Alright. I will cancel the morning court today.”

Liu Suifeng said, “I have asked the palace maids to collect a lot of fresh morning dew. Shi Qingzhou, drink the dew later. Don’t have breakfast.”

“Okay.” Shi Qingzhou nodded his agreement.

“I’ve already done all the preparation work. We’ll start after Shi Qingzhou drinks the morning dew.”

A moment later, the three of them arrived at a room in Qiankun Palace.

This room was prepared by Liu Suifeng.

The bathtub in the room was steaming.

“I’ll stay away first. Shi Qingzhou, go in naked and sit cross-legged.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded.
