Chapter 174: I Can’t Let You Die With Me

Thinking of that, s.h.i.+ had mixed feelings.

It was the last night…

Even though s.h.i.+ had made up his mind, he still felt upset when he was having dinner with his beloved man.

However, s.h.i.+ could only restrain his sadness.

Long kept putting food in s.h.i.+’s bowl. After the sweet lovers finished their dinner, s.h.i.+ said, “Let’s go for a walk in the yard.”

Long did not refuse.

After walking for a while, s.h.i.+ drew a soft sword from his waist. “I’ll practice sword for you. You like watching me practice sword, don’t you?”

Long noticed that s.h.i.+ was a little strange. “Qingzhou?”

s.h.i.+ smiled. “Just watch.”

s.h.i.+ began to practice sword in the yard. He was so elegant and his robe was flying in the air. The whole scene was dreamlike.

s.h.i.+ was so beautiful that he didn’t look like a man from this ordinary world.

Long was captivated by his empress.

As he withdrew the sword, s.h.i.+ smiled at Long.

With that big smile on his face and tenderness in his eyes, s.h.i.+ was charming enough to cause the fall of the whole nation.

Long had been completely obsessed with his empress. At this moment, he felt that he was in paradise.

“Qingzhou…” Long called s.h.i.+’s name softly.

s.h.i.+ slowly went toward Long.

Long immediately held s.h.i.+ in his arms and kissed him pa.s.sionately…

s.h.i.+ did not refuse. He also kissed Long with great pa.s.sion as if that was their last kiss.

Under the banyan tree, the two handsome men were kissing each other. It should be a sweet moment that made others feel jealous.

Somehow, it was a rather distressing scene.

Outsiders didn’t have the heart to see the couple like this.

Looking at the two men kissing under the banyan tree, Liu Suifeng let out a sigh outside Qiankun Palace.

“Why is it the most toxic insect…” Sadness showed in Doctor Liu’s eyes.

He regarded s.h.i.+ and Long as his friends.

If it were some other kind of poisonous insect, he would try his best to get rid of it.

However, there was a kind of poisonous insect in this world, which could only be removed with another person’s blood, all the blood in his body.Read more chapters at ReadNovelFull.com

If the insect in s.h.i.+’s body was removed, that person would die.

Doctor Liu still didn’t know where that person was.

He also didn’t know exactly why that insect got into s.h.i.+’s body.

However… even if he had found that person and that person was just standing in front of him…

Would Doctor Liu kill him? Would he? Could he?

Doctor Liu gently closed his eyes and hid the sadness in his eyes.

Maybe there was another way.

He didn’t believe that person’s blood was the only antidote.

What he didn’t understand was why that poisonous insect got into s.h.i.+’s body from that person’s body.

This insect was beneficial to that person’s body, but it would become the deadliest poison when it went into another person’s body!

At the beginning, he didn’t even find out it was this kind of poisonous insect.

Until that night in the pool, he saw some traces on s.h.i.+’s back.

However, it was already so late…

He had already started to seal the insect. If he stopped, s.h.i.+ would be seriously injured or even died.

So Doctor Liu could only move forward.

He felt guilty about s.h.i.+, so he would do as s.h.i.+ asked to repay him.

Before s.h.i.+ died, he would accompany s.h.i.+ and help him to do everything he wanted. He would do his best to study the insect, hoping that there were other ways to remove it.

Liu Suifeng went back to Yushang Palace. Before long, Zhang Yuan went to meet him.

“Doctor Zhang, I’m leaving soon. I’ll leave Zhou Huan to you. There’s something you need to remember…”

Doctor Zhang listened carefully for fear of missing anything.

After telling him everything, Doctor Liu said with a smile, “Doctor Zhang, you’ve made a lot of research on poisonous insects these days. I believe you can take good care of Zhou Huan. Don’t worry too much.”

“Thank you for your instruction, Doctor Liu.”

Doctor Liu waved his hand. “Destiny brought us together. I’m glad I can teach you something.”

After a short conversation, Doctor Zhang left.

Doctor Liu went to Zhou Huan’s room. “Zhou Huan, the poisonous insect in your body will die in about two months. Although it’s not a short time, it is the only way that will not hurt your body.”

Zhou’s eyes were filled with grat.i.tude.

Doctor Liu smiled. “But remember this. You must be careful not to be poisoned by others again. Otherwise, you will die.”

Zhou nodded.

Doctor Liu continued, “I will give you something special. Take it with you, and ordinary insects will not get close to you.”

Grat.i.tude showed on Zhou’s face as Doctor Liu took out a piece of jade pendant with fragrance from his pocket.

Doctor Liu went over. He tied the jade pendant with red string and put it around Zhou’s neck.

“Wear it all the time. Don’t take it off at any time. The red string is not so strong. You can use something firm to tie it later, such as silk.”

Zhou nodded.

After finis.h.i.+ng his words, Doctor Liu didn’t stay. He turned and left…

At night, Long and s.h.i.+ were lying on the bed.

Long hugged s.h.i.+ tightly.

s.h.i.+ slightly lowered his head. “I’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”

Long took a deep breath. “Qingzhou…”

s.h.i.+ looked up and smiled. “What do you want to say?”

Long sighed. “Can you not leave?”

“It would be more dangerous for you to stay here,” s.h.i.+ gently said.

Long said, “It doesn’t matter. The Shadow Guardians will protect me.”

s.h.i.+ slowly shook his head. “You must be careful. Both Ying Qiu and Ying Feng will be here. I have ordered them to protect you in turn 24 hours a day.”

“When will you be back?” Asked Long.

s.h.i.+ smiled. “In twenty days at most.”

“You promise? If you’re late, I’ll punish you.”

s.h.i.+ smiled. “Okay.”

Long pinched s.h.i.+’s nose. “Let’s sleep.”

“Okay.”

After thinking it over, s.h.i.+ decided not to kill those moles in the imperial palace.

He knew his action would definitely drive those people crazy.

It was easy to deal with the people he was familiar with.

However, if there were still some moles that he didn’t know, it would be impossible to defend effectively.

So, he wouldn’t do anything in the palace.

Anyway, all the moles in the palace would be killed in the end.

If s.h.i.+ didn’t have time, he would ask Doctor Liu to do it!

Long and s.h.i.+ embraced each other. After Long fell asleep, s.h.i.+ opened his eyes.

He didn’t do anything, just looking at the man beside him.

Darkness was not a problem for s.h.i.+.

He could see Long’s handsome profile clearly.

s.h.i.+ hoped he could look at his lover’s face for a lifetime, but a lifetime was too long. He didn’t know whether he could go through this difficult time.

So before he left, he wanted to look at Long’s face as much as possible.

He wanted to engrave his lover’s face on his mind. He hoped that… even when he was dying, he could still remember this person who had been imprinted on his heart.

Then, no matter what happened to him in the future, he would always remember this man…

Even when he couldn’t control himself, he could still know that this man was his lover.

“Long Xiaoyuan… Long Xiaoyuan… I admit that I’ve completely fallen in love with you.

So, you have to promise me to live a good life… Even if you forget me, you must live happily.”

When the c.o.c.k crowed at dawn, s.h.i.+ finally closed his eyes.

A few seconds later, s.h.i.+ opened his eyes again. He hit Long’s acupoints to make him sleep soundly. Then, he got up.

After getting dressed, s.h.i.+ leaned over and kissed Long’s lips.

“If I’m fine, I’ll come back. But if I can’t control myself, I won’t come back and let you see me like that. You must live happily. You are a good emperor. Only when you are here, can the people have a good life. My father will live well and my family will survive. Please forgive me for being selfish. I can die, but you can’t. s.h.i.+ family can’t perish because of my death. Only when you are the emperor, can s.h.i.+ family exist for a long time. If you are not the emperor, s.h.i.+ family will be destroyed sooner or later. Since ancient times, emperors have been unpredictable. My father always serves his master with blind loyalty. So, you must live. Then, my father and my family can survive.

Otherwise, the next emperor will probably send s.h.i.+ family to h.e.l.l… I know that I am selfish, but I am not only your lover. I’m also s.h.i.+ Qingshan’s son. How can I let my father, my beloved mother… and my family be destroyed!

Long Xiaoyuan, I’m sorry. I can’t let you die with me.”

s.h.i.+ kissed Long’s lips again and stood up. Then, he turned and left with determination…

It seemed that Long had felt something in the dream and a tear came out of the corner of his eye… It dropped on the pillow and soon disappeared…
