348. Itâs Time for the Show (III)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
âWhy, why are you here?â Long could not help but twitch his mouth.
âAre you blaming me for coming?â The tears flew down, Liu Suifeng said, âBecause I am worried about you!â
Long looked gloomy. He pulled Liu Suifeng into his room and slammed the door.
âWhat are you doing?â Long lowered his voice.
Liu Suifeng curled his lips, no tears left on his face. He sat down in front of the table with his legs crossed and said, âI didnât want to come. Thatâs your empressâs plan. I donât dare to do this.â
âWhat? Qingzhou?â Hearing what he said, Long was really in shock.
âYes,â Liu Suifeng looked at him lackadaisically and said, âyou should see whatâs you have lost.â
Long checked himself immediately and found out his jade pendant was gone, which was used to contact the two persons in the palace.
âd.a.m.n!â Long took a deep breath and said.
âs.h.i.+ executed the wors.h.i.+p plan in person.â Liu Suifeng looked at him and said.
Long had guessed what happened, and he looked quite unpleasant.
âItâs true that he can do it better.â Liu Suifeng measured and said.
Long let out a long breath at last. âYouâre right. Ying Feng is with Tianxiang Zi and he was the only one who can control her. Fang Shuoyang has many Shadow Guardians, but none of them is better than Qingzhou. Iâm the only one who can dispose the hidden staff, but Qingzhou could manage to do it since he is the empress. He even can come in the Imperial Palace of the Eastern Darkness. Iâm not good at martial arts and not able to communicate with hidden staff in person. Qingzhou is the only one who can do it.â Long closed his eyes and said, âd.a.m.n, he had decided it last night!â
âFine, itâs good that you understand,â Liu Suifeng said with a smile.
âHe is in the Imperial Palace now, isnât he?â
âYes, thatâs why he let me g come here and stay fairly and squarely, doing anything with you.â Liu Suifeng emphasized the last four words especially.
âYou donâ t have to dress like a woman. I can be fond of men.â Long tried to force a smile but failed.
âI will be recognized even with a mask if I donât dress like a woman. Moreover, there are two feasts before the wors.h.i.+p on the Western mountain. Fang Shuoyang will take you with him and of course, I will come with you as your wife and as a martial master.â Liu Suifeng sneered.
âWill the feasts take place in the Imperial Palace?â
âYes, what?â Liu Suifeng grimaced.
âIn the Imperial Palace⦠So we can contact with Qingzhou. You have thought it through and planned it well. What I can say?â Long said with a long sigh.
âIâm afraid that you will take it too hard.â Liu Suifeng shrugged his shoulders.
ââ¦â Long was speechless.
Gossip around Long started when he came in room with Liu Suifeng.
Xu You was the most delighted of all and he was telling Fang Shuoyang about the âinteresting newsâ in the study.
âYour brother must be very angry that he was concealed.â Fang Shuoyang also couldnât help laughing.
âHmm, I know that because Brother s.h.i.+ came to us last night. Why didnât he tell my brother? Was he afraid that my brother would not agree?â Xu You scratched his head and asked.
âYour brother would never agree,â Fang Shuoyang said.
âMaybe he would.â Xu You blinked his eyes and said.
Fang Shuoyang just smiled, stopping saying anything.
âWhy do you smile?â Xu You looked at him suspiciously and asked.
âYou can ask for more antidotes in reserve since Liu Suifeng is here.â Fang Shuoyang changed the subject.
âWhat?â Xu You paused and then asked, âWhy?â
âBecause we need them. Weâre obvious targets.â Fang Shuoyang was speechless at Xu You.
âOh.â Xu You scratched his head sheepishly, âI forgot thatâ¦â
Fang Shuoyang had nothing to say in reply.
âI just reacted too slow for a second. Nothing strange!â Xu You twitched his mouth and said innocently.
âYeah, youâre right. Itâs nothing.â Fang Shuoyang said ingratiatingly at once.
âHumph.â Xu You grunted and left.
At the moment, Long came out of his room.
Where was his wife? She was tired and taking a rest.
âWell.â Xu You walked to Long and coughed.
âChilde Xu.â Long stopped at once and said respectfully.
He seemed to be deferential. But it sounded like through gritted teeth, maybe an illusion.
Itâs probably just illusion.
âWhere is your wife?â Xu You asked.
âIn the room.â Long gnashed.
âWell, I go to see her.â Then Xu You came to the room after talking.
Long took a deep breath again and again, and then he left.
When Xu You walked into the door, w.a.n.g Qi and his men infiltrated into the Western mountain on purpose.
The Western mountain belonged to the royal family and there were royal guards surround it.
But itâs not so difficult to get in.
Itâs basically quite easy if they bribed one or two âbatmenâ.
They had already prepared well and got in the Western mountain.
At the same time, they came with s.h.i.+âs order that they needed to get ready before the wors.h.i.+p.
The Western mountain range is very large. w.a.n.g Qi and others successfully sneaked into the periphery and faded, causing no attention.
Guards outside had no idea that there were some human beings beside wild animals.
At the moment, Long fiercely glared at the door and then turned to his work.
Liu Suifeng? Well, although he was resting, he had to follow Long soon because of s.h.i.+âs order, âdoing everything together with Longâ. Itâs show time of acting âvery much in loveâ.
Long was quite speechless about that. But since the plan was made, by his empress, then all he could do was cooperate.
And certainly he would cooperate.
Though very unwilling, he could settle scores afterwards. Heâd better not cause new problems.
Thinking so, Long forced himself to suppress anger in his heart.
But he thought bitterly of how to settle scores with his empress âfiercelyâ when he came back.
Yes! He must do it and he would!
