409. Never Let Anything Happen to Them (I)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Not long after Zou Qingyuan left, Ouyang Chuan and several Shadow Guardians secretly brought Huhe Huangcheng over.

Huhe Huangcheng was unconscious, his face covered with a towel.

Long Xiaoyuan placed him in the side hall of Qiankun Palace.

Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly at Ouyang Chuan. “Ouyang, you’re right. The accident at Pan Mountain might have something to do with that place.”

Ouyang Chuan’s face immediately changed. “The people in that place didn’t die out?”

“It seems some of them survived.” Liu Suifeng said with a bitter smile and then he became serious. “Ouyang, I need something…”

“Tell me.” Ouyang Chuan hurriedly said.

“Everything left by our master, especially about the venomous insects.”

Ouyang Chuan immediately understood. “I’ll go back and bring them here.”

“Hurry up.” Liu Suifeng said softly.

Ouyang Chuan nodded his understanding and left immediately.

In the middle of the night, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou woke up.

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t sleep at all, and he had been taking care of s.h.i.+ Qingzhou. When he saw he wake up, he asked, “”Qingzhou?”

Liu Suifeng was also there, but he was on beam. Although s.h.i.+ Qingzhou woke up, Liu Suifeng did not go down immediately. He just watched intently on the situation below.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou heard Long Xiaoyuan’s voice and groaned in daze, as if he didn’t know where he was.

Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly asked, “Qingzhou, you are awake. How do you feel? Do you feel unwell?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou shook his head. “No… What’s wrong with me?”

“Do you still remember what happened to you?” asked Long Xiaoyuan carefully.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s expression changed slightly. “What happened to me?”

Long Xiaoyuan paused and then said softly. “Qingzhou, think about it carefully.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou sat up and tried to recall. However, he only remembered when he left Zou Qingyuan. What happened after that?

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou didn’t remember at all.

“Did you intend to come back immediately after seeing Zou Qingyuan?”

“Yes, but I don’t remember what happened afterwards.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said with a gloomy expression.

Long Xiaoyuan gently touched his cheek. “It’s all right… But didn’t you have many Shadow Guardians with you?”

“Yes, but they were quite some distance from me.”

Long Xiaoyuan paused and glanced at the beam. “Come down.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at the beam too. He was not surprised. In fact, he felt the presence of Liu Suifeng just now.

Liu Suifeng leapt down lightly, “s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, I will give you a thorough examination.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded.

Liu Suifeng examined him very carefully. After a long time, he said, “I might need to soak you in special medicinal materials.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou had no objection, and Long Xiaoyuan asked directly. “When will we do that?”

“Tomorrow morning. Now go take a rest.”

Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and didn’t object.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said slowly after Liu Suifeng left. “Don’t sleep with me for the time being.”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “What’s wrong?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou pursed his lips. “Did I hurt you when I lost my memory?”

Long Xiaoyuan said, “Yes, but you failed.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s face became gloomy again.

Long Xiaoyuan sighed. “Qingzhou, you can’t make me leave you.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou frowned fiercely.

Long Xiaoyuan took off his clothes and went to bed.

“Aren’t you afraid that we will both fall for the trap laid by others?” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said in a low voice.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “I’m not afraid. I will make a decree tomorrow. If we both die, Huanhuan will be enthroned, and your father will be the Regent.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was stunned, saying fiercely, “My father’s surname is s.h.i.+.”

“There are too many kings whose surnames are different from the Emperor.” Long Xiaoyuan said indifferently.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s anger turned into helplessness at sight of Long Xiaoyuan’s unruffled face.

Finally, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said slowly. “Forget it. Come up.”

Long Xiaoyuan held s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s waist smilingly and wrapped the blanket around them. “Well, that’s nice.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou rolled his eyes. “Liu Suifeng left like that. He didn’t say anything, so I think I should be fine for the time being.”

“Yes, you will be fine.” Long Xiaoyuan said firmly.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at him and nodded. “Yes.”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled.

Early the next morning, Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou almost woke up at the same time.

Long Xiaoyuan said, “Good morning.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded.

Long Xiaoyuan kissed his lips. “We should get up now. Qingzhou, did you sleep well last night?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded. “Not bad.”

Liu Suifeng arrived soon.

“Do I need to stay?” Long Xiaoyuan asked Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng nodded, “Yes. I will need you when it’s not convenient for s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and me to move.”

“Alright. I will cancel the morning court today.”

Liu Suifeng said, “I have asked the palace maids to collect a lot of fresh morning dew. s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, drink the dew later. Don’t have breakfast.”

“Okay.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded his agreement.

“I’ve already done all the preparation work. We’ll start after s.h.i.+ Qingzhou drinks the morning dew.”

A moment later, the three of them arrived at a room in Qiankun Palace.

This room was prepared by Liu Suifeng.

The bathtub in the room was steaming.

“I’ll stay away first. s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, go in naked and sit cross-legged.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded.
