Chapter 110: Almost Became A Vegetable (II)

s.h.i.+ didn’t think so. He said calmly, “With my father there, what trouble can they make? What’s more, the right prime minister is in Quanzhou now. The left prime minister isn’t that stupid and he knows it’s useless to do anything now. Do you think they can defeat s.h.i.+ family? It’s not that I look down on them, but they really don’t have the ability!”

Looking at the domineering empress of his, if Long could move, he might jump to cheer for him!

Though he couldn’t move, Long’s eyes brightened.

s.h.i.+ smiled. “So, don’t worry about the things in the court.”

Long finally felt relieved.

s.h.i.+ sat on the edge of the bed. “Let me give you a ma.s.sage. The doctor says it’s good for your recovery.”

Long blinked and s.h.i.+ had begun to ma.s.sage.

While enjoying s.h.i.+’s service, Long found that that was more than a simple ma.s.sage!

Because with s.h.i.+’s movements, Long felt warmth was flowing in his body.

Long blinked and looked at s.h.i.+ in confusion.

Seeing Long’s reaction, Long explained, “I’m using my internal strength.”

Long looked at s.h.i.+ in surprise.

s.h.i.+ smiled. “It’s better for your recovery.”

Hearing that, Long blinked for several times. Then, he looked at s.h.i.+ anxiously and his fingers also moved.

Seeing that, s.h.i.+ had to stop and then he grasped Long’s hand.

Long wrote on the palm of s.h.i.+’s hand, “It’s not good for your body. Don’t do this.”

s.h.i.+ curved his lips a little. “How can it be? I’m just using a little bit of my internal strength.”

Long frowned.

s.h.i.+ bent down and kissed Long’s lips.

Long was stunned. s.h.i.+ seldom did this so actively… and he was rarely… so gentle.

s.h.i.+ was really gentle just now! Long was absolutely certain.

Long felt very warm deep inside and fixed his eyes on s.h.i.+’s face.

His empress was still stunningly beautiful.

s.h.i.+ said softly, “Don’t worry. It’s really okay. Internal strength can be regained through practice. Besides, I’m just helping you to recover. It won’t cause any damage to me.”

Long was still reluctant, so he wrote on the palm of s.h.i.+’s hand, “There are Shadow Guardians.”

s.h.i.+ shook his head. “There’s no need. I want to do it for you myself.”

Long stared at s.h.i.+ and s.h.i.+ didn’t look away. He also stared at Long.

In the end, it was Long who lost. He wrote on s.h.i.+’s palm. “Okay, don’t make it hard for yourself.”

“I know.” s.h.i.+ smiled.

Then, s.h.i.+ continued to ma.s.sage Long’s body.

This time, Long didn’t say anything but enjoy it.

About a quarter of an hour later, when Long felt warm all over his body, s.h.i.+ finally stopped.

Then, s.h.i.+ said, “Do you feel good?”

Long blinked, indicating that he felt good.

s.h.i.+ pinched the palm of Long’s hand. “You’re not recovered yet. Take a rest.”

Long just woke up and didn’t want to sleep at all, so he wrote on the palm of s.h.i.+’s hand. “I don’t want to sleep.”

Seeing that, s.h.i.+ sat down and held Long’s hand. “Then let’s talk, shall we?”

“Okay.” Long wrote.

s.h.i.+ smiled and said, “You’ve been in a coma for ten days. Let me tell you what happened during these days, okay?”

“Okay.” Long wrote.

Then, s.h.i.+ began to talk about what happened in the past ten days…

Since the a.s.sa.s.sins appeared in the daytime and Long was poisoned by the strange toxin, they began to rush to the imperial palace.

After such a serious accident happened, they didn’t have time to care about hiding their whereabouts.

After they arrived at the palace, almost everyone knew that the emperor was a.s.sa.s.sinated and seriously injured.

Then, all the imperial doctors stayed in Qiankun Palace to treat him day and night. After three days and three nights of treatment, they managed to control the poison in Long’s body.

Then, Long fell into a coma.

That was such a good timing. Those ministers in the court naturally would take the opportunity to do something.

In fact, there were reports about the impeachment of s.h.i.+ family every day, but they were all suppressed.

In addition, s.h.i.+ Qingshan appeared in public. Over those days, many ministers had known that s.h.i.+ Qingshan had come back and was helping the emperor deal with court affairs.

Though they knew that in heart, it was a different thing when s.h.i.+ Qingshan spoke in public.

When s.h.i.+ Qingshan was in the dark, the ministers could report anything they liked and it didn’t matter. They could also play some dirty tricks.

s.h.i.+ Qingshan couldn’t do anything even if he found it, because he was not “actually” there.

However, things had changed when he appeared in public!

If someone did something inappropriate, he could punish that person in broad daylight!

s.h.i.+ Qingshan had real power and thousands of soldiers were at his service. Since the emperor wasn’t there, how could other people fight against him? If they dared, they would only lose their lives.

So, although those ministers would complain a little every day, they didn’t go too far.

The concubines in the harem also went to Qiankun Palace every day, but they were all stopped outside the door. So far no one could enter.

Long listened to s.h.i.+ with great interest. Although s.h.i.+ said that very plainly, Long thought it was more interesting than some stories.

Especially when it came to the part that s.h.i.+ Qingshan easily made those ministers speechless twice, Long felt… what a joy that was!

Unfortunately, he didn’t witness the exciting scene.

It was really a pity.

Long’s eyes lit up. After finis.h.i.+ng his words, s.h.i.+ found that Long seemed to look better. He was a little worried.

“You still don’t want to rest?”

Long wrote on the palm of s.h.i.+’s hand. “No.”

s.h.i.+ sighed. “All right. But you can’t be too tired.”

Long blinked, indicating he agreed.

After a while, one Shadow Guardian sent the medicine there. The reason why s.h.i.+ didn’t ask his servant to do it was because he was afraid that some great martial artist might do something to the medicine. If that happened, s.h.i.+ would deeply regret it. So, the Shadow Guardians were responsible for decocting the medicine to ensure that there was no mistake on the way.

Looking at the black soup, Long suddenly felt pain all over his body.

s.h.i.+ looked at Long and smiled.

Of course, Long had to drink up the bitter soup.

Luckily, s.h.i.+ was with him. s.h.i.+ fed him bit by bit, and Long didn’t think it was that terrible.

After finis.h.i.+ng a bowl of soup, Long frowned deeply.

Then, s.h.i.+ threw a piece of candy into Long’s mouth. Long blinked, feeling much better.

s.h.i.+ chuckled. “Feel any better?”

Long blinked and responded, “Mhmm.” His voice was so low that it almost couldn’t be heard.

Later, s.h.i.+ curled his lips. “It’s time for the doctor to come and check on you.”

“Mhmm…” Long still responded like that.

After they chat for a while, Zhang Yuan came.

After some diagnosis, Zhang said, “His Majesty’s body is recovering. We can carry out the next phase of treatment after we get those herbs.”

s.h.i.+ nodded. “Some of the herbs are on their way to the palace. They will arrive soon.”

“Good. I’ll give His Majesty acupuncture treatment one more time. Maybe more parts will be able to move later, but I can’t guarantee that for the moment.”

s.h.i.+ waved. “Just do it.”

Zhang began to prepare. Looking at Zhang take out the gold needles, Long felt a little scared.

But when the needles were really pushed into his skin, he didn’t feel much pain.

On the contrary, he felt comfortable when the needles. .h.i.t some acupoints in his body.

When the acupuncture finished, Long was already covered with sweat. So, s.h.i.+ hurriedly wiped Long’s body with a towel.

After s.h.i.+ finished, it was already dark. s.h.i.+ ordered others to bring dinner there. Long still had a good appet.i.te and had two bowls of porridge.

He also ate two eggs.

“You can’t move now. Do you want me to give you a ma.s.sage so that you can digest well?”

Long shook his head.

“No? Don’t you feel bad?” s.h.i.+ was worried.

Long slowly wrote on s.h.i.+’s palm. “No. Please stay with me tonight.”

Seeing that, s.h.i.+ smiled. “Okay.”
