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. âOuyang, youâre right. The accident at Pan Mountain might have something to do with that place.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ouyang Chuanâs face immediately changed. âThe people in that place didnât die out?â
âIt seems some of them survived.â Liu Suifeng said with a bitter smile and then he became serious. âOuyang, I need something...â
âTell me.â Ouyang Chuan hurriedly said.
âEverything left by our master, especially about the venomous insects.â
Ouyang Chuan immediately understood. âIâll go back and bring them here.â
âHurry up.â Liu Suifeng said softly.
Ouyang Chuan nodded his understanding and left immediately.
In the middle of the night, Shi Qingzhou woke up.
Long Xiaoyuan didnât sleep at all, and he had been taking care of Shi Qingzhou. When he saw he wake up, he asked, ââQingzhou?â
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 Xiaoyuanâs voice and groaned in daze, as if he didnât know where he was.
Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly asked, âQingzhou, you are awake. How do you feel? Do you feel unwell?â
Shi Qingzhou shook his head. âNo... Whatâs wrong with me?â
âDo you still remember what happened to you?â asked Long Xiaoyuan carefully.
Shi Qingzhouâs expression changed slightly. âWhat happened to me?â
Long Xiaoyuan paused and then said softly. âQingzhou, think about it carefully.â
Shi Qingzhou sat up and tried to recall. However, he only remembered when he left Zou Qingyuan. What happened after that?
Shi Qingzhou didnât remember at all.
âDid you intend to come back immediately after seeing Zou Qingyuan?â
âYes, but I donât remember what happened afterwards.â Shi Qingzhou said with a gloomy expression.
Long Xiaoyuan gently touched his cheek. âItâs all right... But didnât you have many Shadow Guardians with you?â
âYes, but they were quite some distance from me.â
Long Xiaoyuan paused and glanced at the beam. âCome down.â
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, âShi Qingzhou, I will give you a thorough examination.â
Shi Qingzhou nodded.
Liu Suifeng examined him very carefully. After a long time, he said, âI might need to soak you in special medicinal materials.â
Shi Qingzhou had no objection, and Long Xiaoyuan asked directly. âWhen will we do that?â
âTomorrow morning. Now go take a rest.â
Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and didnât object.
Shi Qingzhou said slowly after Liu Suifeng left. âDonât sleep with me for the time being.â
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. âWhatâs wrong?â
Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. âDid I hurt you when I lost my memory?â
Long Xiaoyuan said, âYes, but you failed.â
Shi Qingzhouâs face became gloomy again.
Long Xiaoyuan sighed. âQingzhou, you canât make me leave you.â
Shi Qingzhou frowned fiercely.
Long Xiaoyuan took off his clothes and went to bed.
âArenât you afraid that we will both fall for the trap laid by others?â Shi Qingzhou said in a low voice.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. âIâm not afraid. I will make a decree tomorrow. If we both die, Huanhuan will be enthroned, and your father will be the Regent.â Shi Qingzhou was stunned, saying fiercely, âMy fatherâs surname is Shi.â
âThere are too many kings whose surnames are different from the Emperor.â Long Xiaoyuan said indifferently.
Shi Qingzhouâs anger turned into helplessness at sight of Long Xiaoyuanâs unruffled face.
Finally, Shi Qingzhou said slowly. âForget it. Come up.â
Long Xiaoyuan held Shi Qingzhouâs waist smilingly and wrapped the blanket around them. âWell, thatâs nice.â
Shi Qingzhou rolled his eyes. âLiu Suifeng left like that. He didnât say anything, so I think I should be fine for the time being.â
âYes, you will be fine.â Long Xiaoyuan said firmly.
Shi Qingzhou looked at him and nodded. âYes.â
Long Xiaoyuan smiled.
Early the next morning, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou almost woke up at the same time.
Long Xiaoyuan said, âGood morning.â
Shi Qingzhou nodded.
Long Xiaoyuan kissed his lips. âWe should get up now. Qingzhou, did you sleep well last night?â
Shi Qingzhou nodded. âNot bad.â
Liu Suifeng arrived soon.
âDo I need to stay?â Long Xiaoyuan asked Liu Suifeng.
Liu Suifeng nodded, âYes. I will need you when itâs not convenient for Shi Qingzhou and me to move.â
âAlright. I will cancel the morning court today.â
Liu Suifeng said, âI have asked the palace maids to collect a lot of fresh morning dew. Shi Qingzhou, drink the dew later. Donât have breakfast.â
âOkay.â Shi Qingzhou nodded his agreement.
âIâve already done all the preparation work. Weâll start after Shi Qingzhou drinks the morning dew.â
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.
âIâll stay away first. Shi Qingzhou, go in naked and sit cross-legged.â
Shi Qingzhou nodded.
