Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler Chapter 422

422. The ContractTranslator: Storm in a Teacup

Long Xiaoyuan did not go to Pan Mountain with Shi Qingzhou.

But he regretted it after he came back from the visit to Huhe Huangcheng.

What if something happened in his absence?

He was getting increasingly anxious. However, he could not go there now as Liu Suifeng was not with him. The Emperor of Northern Barbarians had been assassinated, and he'd better be careful.

As for terrible things like venomous insects, a good doctor was more useful than a Shadow Guardian with high martial arts.

Now Shadow Guardians couldn't give Long Xiaoyuan much security.

Long Xiaoyuan handled government affairs in Imperial Study, absent-minded.

Finally, Shi Qingzhou came back, and Long Xiaoyuan let out a sigh of relief.

“Qingzhou, finally you're back.”

Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. “What's wrong?”

Long Xiaoyuan hugged him. “I'm worried that something might happen to you.”

Shi Qingzhou smiled. “Don't worry. I'm fine.”

Long Xiaoyuan kissed his mouth. “Yeah, I'm relieved when you come back.”

Shi Qingzhou asked, “Have you met Huhe Huangcheng?”

“Well, he seems to have deep affection for the emperor of Northern Barbarians.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “This is not surprising. There are not many princes in Northern Barbarians. Besides, they don't change crown prince after the candidate is confirmed.”

“That's true.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “Where's Liu Suifeng?”

“He said that he would come over later and give me the final treatment.”

“I see.” Long Xiaoyuan got nervous. “Is there any danger?”

Shi Qingzhou smiled. “I don't think so.”

Long Xiaoyuan pouted. “No, I have to ask him clearly.”

Shi Qingzhou did not reject Long Xiaoyuan's goodwill.

As expected, Liu Suifeng arrived half an hour later.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou had read the files.

“Hello, you're here.” Long Xiaoyuan greeted immediately.

Liu Suifeng nodded. “This is the last treatment, and he should be fine. However, the medicine has a vicious effect, so he would need some nourishment. Of course, he can get nourishment from food.”

“Okay, okay.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded immediately. “He indeed needs some nourishment.”

Liu Suifeng smiled. “Alright, let's go find a quiet place.”

“Let's do it in my sleeping palace,” Long Xiaoyuan said.

Liu Suifeng shrugged. “Any place that is quiet would be fine. I have no objections.”

Therefore, they went to Long Xiaoyuan's sleeping palace.

After they got there, Liu Suifeng prepared everything that was needed.

Long Xiaoyuan asked, “Do you need any help?”

Liu Suifeng shook his head. “No.”

Long Xiaoyuan asked. “Is it dangerous? Are you sure you don't need any help?”

Liu Suifeng looked at Long Xiaoyuan with frustration. “Who is the doctor here? You or me?”

“I'm not afraid you'll forget something.”

Liu Suifeng rolled his eyes. “I haven't forgotten anything. Don't interrupt.”

“Okay,” Long Xiaoyuan replied, but he didn't shut up. “Is it dangerous?”

“There is always certain danger, but it is under my control.”

Long Xiaoyuan finally felt a little relieved. “Alright. I hope there won't be any accidents.”

“Don't jinx it. Go out and wait.”

“Don't you need a medicated bath this time?”

“No, we don't need it as we have located the venomous insects,” Liu Suifeng said.

“Alright.” Long Xiaoyuan went outside reluctantly and waited there.

After a short time, Ouyang Chuan came.

“Where's Suifeng?” Ouyang Chuan asked.

Long Xiaoyuan pointed inside. “He's treating Qingzhou inside.”

“Oh, I see.” Ouyang Chuan nodded. He noticed that Long Xiaoyuan was anxious, and he said, “Don't worry too much. Suifeng takes action only when he is confident.”

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “Okay.”

Although he said that, he couldn't help worrying.

Long Xiaoyuan thought he didn't have to wait too long, but actually he had been waiting for six whole hours!

During this period, Long Xiaoyuan was not in the mood to eat at all when it was lunch time.

Finally, Liu Suifeng came out of the room, and Long Xiaoyuan ran wildly up to him. He grabbed Liu Suifeng's clothes excitedly.

“Where's Qingzhou? How is he?”

Liu Suifeng smiled. “I gave him the treatment in person. What do you think?”

Long Xiaoyuan was finally relieved. “Do you mean he's fine?”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “And Shi Qingzhou's eyes returned to normal color.”

Long Xiaoyuan gasped. “Really?”

He didn't mind what color Shi Qingzhou's eyes were.

But he knew that Shi Qingzhou cared about it a lot. Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan felt happy when Shi Qingzhou's eyes could return to normal.

“Yes.” Liu Suifeng nodded and yawned. “I've exhausted too much internal strength, so I have to go back.”

“Have you used a lot of internal strength?” Ouyang Chuan instantly became nervous. “Are you all right?”

“I'm fine. I just need a rest,” Liu Suifeng said indifferently.

Long Xiaoyuan said, “Go back and rest now.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “Alright, I'm going back. Shi Qingzhou should be awake soon. You can go inside and take care of him.”

Long Xiaoyuan immediately ran in.

Shi Qingzhou lay in bed with a pale face. Long Xiaoyuan felt extremely distressed when he looked at him.

From the surface, he couldn't see anything unusual about Qingzhou.

Long Xiaoyuan stared at him, as if he was afraid that Shi Qingzhou would disappear.

He stared for a while, and his eyes were sore. At this moment, Shi Qingzhou finally opened his eyes.

Long Xiaoyuan immediately pounced over. “Qingzhou, are you awake?”

“Yes.” Shi Qingzhou said in a hoarse voice with a smile.

“Did it hurt? Did you have a hard time just now?” Long Xiaoyuan asked earnestly.

Shi Qingzhou shook his head. “No, Liu Suifeng's technique is not bad.”

“Technique?” Long Xiaoyuan suddenly got speechless.

Shi Qingzhou looked at him and said helplessly, “What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing.” Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly shook his head. How dare he tell him about his nasty thoughts?

“Qingzhou, your eyes have turned black.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Bring me the mirror. I want to take a look.”

Long Xiaoyuan rushed to get the mirror.

Shi Qingzhou sat up in the bed and took a look in the mirror, smiling. “Yes.”

Long Xiaoyuan felt distressed to see him. “Qingzhou, do you mind the color of your eyes?”

Shi Qingzhou nodded faintly. “Of course, I don't want to be different.”

“But I said that I love you no matter how you look.”

Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan indifferently. “I know, and I don't care about the color of my eyes too much. I just don't like to be different.”

“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded and held him in his arms.

Shi Qingzhou did not reject his hug. Long Xiaoyuan hugged him for a while, and then his stomach was rumbling.

Shi Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky outside. “For how long have you stayed hungry?”

Long Xiaoyuan pursed his mouth. “You're having a treatment here. How can I have the appetite?”

Shi Qingzhou glared at him. “So you haven't eaten anything?”

Long Xiaoyuan continued to purse his mouth in grievance. “Yeah, I want to eat with you.”

Shi Qingzhou glared at Long Xiaoyuan, who giggled foolishly.

Shi Qingzhou in the end said, “Why don't you have the dinner served. I'm hungry too.”

“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan quickly nodded. “I'll have it served.”

Long Xiaoyuan left the room.

Shi Qingzhou waited in the room. Watching Long Xiaoyuan busy for him, he felt complicated.

Long Xiaoyuan came back after a short time. “I told the maids. I guess dinner will be ready soon.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Okay.”

Long Xiaoyuan said, “I forgot to ask Liu Suifeng what you can't eat.”

Shi Qingzhou looked at him. “Isn't there a health-building diet?”

“That's right.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded abruptly. “I have a poor memory, I forgot.”

Shi Qingzhou rolled his eyes, lost for words.

Long Xiaoyuan giggled foolishly.

After a short time, dinner was served. Long Xiaoyuan was hungry.

After he knew that Shi Qingzhou was fine, his appetite instantly improved.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan ate a lot at dinner.

In the end, he felt his stomach was bursting with food!

He rubbed his stomach and said, “Qingzhou, let's go out and take a stroll.”

Shi Qingzhou looked at him, nodding without any objections.

When they went out, a Shadow Guardian came, saying that Huhe Huangcheng had made up his mind and asked to see Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

“Qingzhou, let's go see him for a while. We should send him away, so we don't have to keep an outsider here.”

Shi Qingzhou paused, asking, “How do you plan to let him go back?”

“I'm not doing charity. Now that Northern Barbarians is in chaos, I don't have to set him free. He has to pay the price for his freedom.”

Shi Qingzhou looked at him. “The medicine?”

“This is only a minor thing. He has to sign a contract with us.”

Shi Qingzhou paused, and then nodded. “Aren't you afraid that you plan backfires?”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Not at all. Even if Huhe Huangcheng goes back to his country, there will be the internal war. It's just a matter of time.”

“That's true.” Shi Qingzhou nodded. “If he wants to solve it, he has to pay the price.”

“Absolutely. If he dares to breach the contract, we can resort to poison, just like what we did to Wang Qi. However, we used fake poison on Wang Qi, and we can use real poison on Huhe Huangcheng.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Alright.”

“Qingzhou, do you think His Highness will ask for our help?”

“Ask for our help?” Shi Qingzhou chuckled.” How shameless does he have to be??”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Who knows? Now that we are willing to set him free, he might ask for more.”

Shi Qingzhou responded with a sneer, “That's his own wishful thinking.”

However, Huhe Huangcheng actually asked for reinforcements from Tianlong Dynasty.

Of course, he asked after he agreed to a series of conditions from Long Xiaoyuan!

Long Xiaoyuan glanced at Shi Qingzhou and smiled inwardly. “Crown Prince, don't think about the reinforcements, but I can promise you I can send a few powerful guards to escort you to the border. They can only escort you to the border, and you have to ask someone to pick you up from there.”

Huhe Huangcheng had to settle for second best and agreed.

“Go find Dr. Liu yourself. He will give you the medicine. You can leave after taking it.”

Huhe Huangcheng's eyes darkened, but he thanked Long Xiaoyuan respectfully and left.

Shi Qingzhou said lightly after Huhe Huangcheng left. “He is patient and tolerant.”

“Indeed. His only problem is that he has bad luck.”

Shi Qingzhou thought about it and then nodded.

Indeed, if Huhe Huangcheng had been lucky, he would have achieved his goal in the Eastern Darkness, and he would not have ended up like this now…

Furthermore, he went back in dejection.

However, Shi Qingzhou detested invaders. The more miserable his enemy, the happier he would be.

After Huhe Huangcheng left, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went out of the room.

“Let's take a stroll in the yard for a while.” Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Okay.”

Long Xiaoyuan held Shi Qingzhou's hand, and the two of them went out…

Holding the hand of his beloved one, Long Xiaoyuan had the impulse to hold on like this forever.

At the same time, he believed that he could always hold his hand. He would…

At this moment, Shi Qingzhou Yi turned his head and met Long Xiaoyuan's eyes.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight.
