Chapter 63: Here Is My Home (II)Translator: Peggyan

Staring at the imperial reports beside him, Long put the one in his hand down right away and took off his shoes before lying on the bed with his clothes on.

Shi turned his head around to see Long after a pause. “What are you doing in bed?”

Shi made a sad face. “Qingzhou, you detested me, did you? I just want to accompany me.”

Shi said with his lips curled, “You still have a lot of government affairs to deal with.”

Long said, “Don't worry. There are always government affairs each day. No rush.”

Shi, “…”

Worming into the quilt, Long held Shi into his arms.

Shi got a little stiff for a second probably for fear of Long touching him again. Long then said at once, “Qingzhou, please rest assured I'll control myself and won't touch you at this time.”

Shi invisibly sighed with relief and gradually turned soft.

Long held Shi tighter. “Qingzhou, you've met Xu You. He's just a kid and has a lover, so you won't misunderstand me and him anymore, will you?”

Shi fell into silence and Long got anxious. “Qingzhou, you still don't believe me?”

Shi shook his head. “I believe you.”

“Really?” Long brightened his eyes.

Shi nodded and said with a smile, “Eh…”

Hearing this, Long blew a kiss on Shi's lips. “Qingzhou…”

Shi lowered his head. “You don't like me to fight on the battlefield, do you?”

Long shook his head and said after a pause, “That's not the case…I'm afraid I'll imprison you.” Long continued with a bitter smile, “Actually, this may be the truth, too…Qingzhou, you like battlefields. The most suitable places for you are battlefields, outside of the imperial palace. Sometimes I can't help thinking of that locking you up here may be a shackle to you…”

Shi got stiff.

Long added with a more bitter smile, “Is that right? Qingzhou, if you can make a decision without so many conditions, would you like to stay in the imperial palace? Here breaks off your wings with which you can use to fly…Qingzhou, I should have said sorry to you.”

Shi abruptly raised his head and felt his heart stung, so he said firmly upon seeing Long wear a bitter smile, “Long Xiaoyuan, I might have considered the imperial palace a prison, but we're together now. You've said monogamy to me. If you don't betray me, here will be my home. I went to the battlefields because of my dreams in my childhood. Now, I've realized my dreams…Long Xiaoyuan, why did you mention imprisonment? Do you think here is where I can't stay?”

What Shi said stunned Long, not because of the last interrogative sentence, but because of…

“If I don't betray you, here will be your home?” Long murmured and stared at Shi in disbelief.

For all the time, Long had thought that Shi stayed at the imperial palace because of fate. How could Shi be willing to stay here?

But, now…

Shi Qingzhou, you've fallen love with me, haven't you?

Knowing this, Long got fast heartbeats with surprise and turned hot…

Shi said with the corners of his lips curled, “Eh.”

Long strongly held Shi into his arms upon hearing this.

“Qingzhou, Qingzhou…you've fallen love with me, haven't you?”

Did he fall in love with Long? Shi lowered his eyelids. He couldn't be sure of it before going to the battlefields.

But, he was greatly sure of it when he was on the battlefield…

It was true that he had fallen in love with Long. Now that it was the truth, why not admit it when Long didn't betray him?

Shi didn't reply to Long, but Shi's behavior proved everything.

Shi was held by Long without struggles and denials.

Long said quickly, “Qingzhou, you've said this, so you have no chances to regret. As you said, if I don't betray you, here will be your home. Qingzhou, Qingzhou…”

Shi slightly smiled. “Eh.”

Long held Shi even tighter.

Shi said lightly with his eyes darkened, “Long Xiaoyuan, you have no chances to regret, too. You can only have me. You have to disband the Imperial Harem for me. Even if the Imperial Harem can't be disbanded, you can't touch the other women. Can you do that for me?”

Shi only wanted monogamy. If he couldn't get it, he would rather want nothing.

He was not afraid of admitting that he loved Long.

However, if Long couldn't do what he had promised, Shi would seek justice for himself no matter what this would cost him even if he would be a sinner for his family.

He would even go to hell with Long together. That was Shi!

Of course, he would make good arrangements for his family and make sure that they wouldn't be harmed…

“Of course.” Shi said those lightly but domineeringly, which didn't upset Long. Instead, Long felt very happy, for it was the first time that Shi Qingzhou had admitted loving him. It was evidence that Shi wanted to spend the rest of the life with Long.

Qingzhou, Shi Qingzhou!

“Qingzhou, I can't disband the Imperial Harem at the time because of some sensitive issues in the imperial court. I'm concerned about you, not me, because I'm afraid you'll get a bad reputation and get rebuked. This will make me worry about you. But, I can promise you I won't land my hands on them. Actually, when did you see I sleep at other palaces? I only have you!”

Shi believed what Long said. Otherwise, he wouldn't have admitted his true feelings.

Since the matter concerning Xu was a misunderstanding, he let it go.

“Qingzhou, Qingzhou, do you know? I'm very happy, Qingzhou…” Long wore a silly smile and then strongly kissed Shi's lips while undressing Shi.

Shi felt somewhat speechless and instinctively resisted Long. “Haven't you said we don't do sex at daytime…”

Long sealed Shi's mouth. “You're right, but that's not my fault! Qingzhou, you're the one to blame. You seduced me at first…”

Shi, “…”

Long continued acting brazenly. “If I can control myself, this will only show I don't love you enough. Now…”

“…God proves I love you!”

“God?” Shi slightly frowned.

Long said, “Heaven.”

Shi cocked his eyebrows but couldn't speak more, for Long had entered Shi's body.

Shi couldn't finish his words, but Long had very satisfactory sex.

At noon, when Xu came to find Shi and wanted to have lunch with Shi, Xu was told…

“Master Xu, Your Majesty and Your Grace are resting.”

“Now?” Xu looked at the sky outside and turned extremely wordless.

In the end, Xu left with his mouth flattened.

Long and Shi didn't wake up until two o'clock in the afternoon. Of course, time was calculated in modern ways.

They woke up almost at the same time. Long leaned over to kiss Shi's chin, but his stomach cooed.

Long couldn't help turning blushed.

Shi said with the corners of his lips raised, “I'm hungry, too. Let's get up.”

“Qingzhou, you also hungry?” Long made an apology instantly. “Sorry, I didn't control myself…”

Shi shook his head and wanted to sit up, but the stinging and sore pain made him fall onto the bed.

Long got stunned. “Qingzhou!”

Shi felt embarrassed and angry and glared at Long. The latter felt guilty and thereby said in a hurry, “Qingzhou, you lie on the bed and I'll get you the congee. Qingzhou, you drink congee. It's good for you.”

Shi said after a pause, “I eat on the bed?”

“Yes. It's no big deal. After all, there are only two of us.”

“Sure.” Shi agreed with Long with difficulties and added, “Don't let others in.”

Such a disadvantaged look…he didn't want to expose this before anyone.

“Okay!” said Long happily. After that, he hurriedly put on clothes and got out of the bed.

His effectiveness was striking. 15 minutes later, the congee had been placed in front of Shi.

“Have you eaten?” asked Shi.

“No, I haven't. Qingzhou, I feed you.” Long wanted to experience the pleasure of spoon-feeding his lover.

Shi speechlessly twisted the corners of his lips. “Your Majesty, my hands are functional. I can eat myself.”

Long felt a little wronged. “Qingzhou, that's the interest.”

In the end, Shi ate this delayed lunch himself.

How about Long? He sadly sat beside Shi and drank his congee!

Shi drank two bowls of congee, so did Long.

Having finished eating, Long massaged Shi like a servant. When Shi felt a little comfortable, Long took Shi outside for a walk.

However, this good mood didn't last long.

A eunuch came and reported that the leader of the envoy delegation was killed in the post house!

Hearing this, they turned darkened.

Although the post house wasn't heavily guarded, there were many guardians there due to the special identity of the envoys. In that case…

The leader of the envoy delegation got killed in the post house!

What did this stand for?

Long was livid.

So was Shi. It was Shi who took the envoy delegation back. Furthermore, he thought more than Long.
