Chapter 181: Discussing Business (II)

Long and Shi got on the carriage and resumed their journey.

Long asked Shi what happened these days and Shi told him calmly.

Even though Shi sounded very calm, Long knew how dangerous it was.

Long couldn’t do anything but hold Shi into his arms.

Looking at the strange face, Shi felt a little awkward.

But he still dropped his eyes and rested in Long’s arms.

The face was new, but Long’s smell was familiar to him.

So, Shi set his mind at rest and closed his eyes.

Long kept holding Shi in his arms. Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a house.

“Qingzhou, is this the place where you’re staying?”

“We just stayed here for several days. We’re leaving tomorrow,” Shi said.

Long blinked. “Leaving tomorrow?”

“Yes... You...”

“Of course I’m going with you. I already got out of the palace. Don’t try to drive me away.”

Shi sighed helplessly. “I know. I don’t mean to drive you away, but don’t you worry about the palace?”

Long shook his head. “There’s nothing to worry about. Even if some people find that the emperor there is fake, what can they do? As long as I’m alive, those people can’t do anything!”

After thinking for a moment, Shi nodded. “You’re right. Nothing matters as long as you’re alive.”

“That’s right.” Long smiled and pinched Shi’s cheek. “I’m glad that you think so.”

Shi smiled helplessly and didn’t say anything.

Before long, Ouyang and Liu also arrived at the house.

Not only did Ouyang look miserable, but Liu as well.

Looking at the two men, Long laughed. “Hey, what happened? Why do both of you look so bad?”

Seeing that Long was gloating, Liu and Ouyang glared at him at the same time. Long patted himself on the chest. “Oh, I’m so scared.”

Liu rolled his eyes, while Ouyang sneered.

At this time, Shi came out.

“Qingzhou,” Long cried, “They bullied me!”

Shi slowly went towards them, “Guards!”

Once Shi said that, more than ten Shadow Guardians appeared and they were ready to fight.

Liu hurriedly said, “I didn’t bully him.”

Shi sneered. “Oh really? Beat them!”

“Hey!” Long was also shocked.

Seeing that the two of them began to fight with the Shadow Guardians again, Long said to Shi, “Well, let them go.”

Shi said coldly, “How can I let them go? They offended you. It’s a capital crime. I’m already being nice to just give them a beating.”

Uh... Long didn’t know that Shi could be so violent.

Long blinked and said, “Qingzhou... I’m hungry.”

“Okay. I’ll have the meal prepared,” Shi immediately said.

Long found that his empress was still quite normal, so he felt satisfied.

When the servants went to prepare the meal, Long followed Shi to the dining room.

As the food was delivered, the two men who should have been surrounded by the Shadow Guardian also came in.

Long blinked and then waved to Liu.

“Doctor Liu, come to have meal.”

Liu directly went over and sat down beside Long.

Ouyang also walked over and sat down opposite Shi.

So, the four people sat in four directions at the round table.

Long didn’t pay much attention to Ouyang and Liu. He just served Shi attentively.

Outsiders didn’t have the chance to see them like this.

So both Ouyang and Liu were surprised.

Long didn’t care about them and continued to serves Shi.

Perhaps Liu was inspired by Long. He even put a piece of duck meat in Ouyang’s bowl.

Ouyang was stunned and stared at Liu.

Liu looked very calm. “Eat it. Don’t you like it?”

Ouyang pursed his lips.

Long smiled. “You like that? Just eat more if you like it.” Long said that just like he was the host entertaining his guests.

Ouyang was speechless.

Eating the food Long served him, Shi was in a good mood.

After they finished meal, Shi asked Liu to stay.

Liu knew what Shi was going to say. Ouyang also knew it, so he said coldly, “I know it’s about me. Why can’t you tell me?”

Shi didn’t look at him at all, which showed how much Shi hated him.

Long said with a smile, “Qingzhou, do you want to ask Doctor Liu about the poisonous insect? In that case, Ouyang Chuan is right. He should be present.”

Shi said calmly, “Alright.”

So Ouyang stayed with them.

Long was the first to speak. “You know why we left you here. All that man’s blood will be needed to save Qingzhou’s life?”

Liu pursed his lips. “That’s right.”

Ouyang glanced at Long with a sneer. “Oh, you already know the real method? What a pity! I can’t sleep with that beauty.”

Long said helplessly, “Stop talking like that. You want to be beaten again?”

Ouyang sneered. “Why can’t I say that? If Liu Suifeng didn’t tell you the truth, you’d have sent your man to my bed. This is the truth.”

Shi gave Ouyang a cold look.

Liu also frowned.

Long sighed. “Hey, Ouyang Chuan, if you like Liu Suifeng, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush.”

“What did you say?” Ouyang stamped with rage. “That’s nonsense! I don’t like him at all!”

Liu blinked innocently.

Long said slowly, “You really don’t like him? Although you said you want to sleep with another man, just look at yourself... Tut, you’ve fixed your eyes on the man next to you.”

“Nonsense!” Ouyang was so angry that he wanted to fight Long.
