348. It’s Time for the Show (III)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Why, why are you here?” Long could not help but twitch his mouth.

“Are you blaming me for coming?” The tears flew down, Liu Suifeng said, “Because I am worried about you!”

Long looked gloomy. He pulled Liu Suifeng into his room and slammed the door.

“What are you doing?” 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, “I didn’t want to come. That’s your empress’s plan. I don’t dare to do this.”

“What? Qingzhou?” Hearing what he said, Long was really in shock.

“Yes,” Liu Suifeng looked at him lackadaisically and said, “you should see what’s you have lost.”

Long checked himself immediately and found out his jade pendant was gone, which was used to contact the two persons in the palace.

“Damn!” Long took a deep breath and said.

“Shi executed the worship plan in person.” Liu Suifeng looked at him and said.

Long had guessed what happened, and he looked quite unpleasant.

“It’s true that he can do it better.” Liu Suifeng measured and said.

Long let out a long breath at last. “You’re 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. I’m 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. I’m not good at martial arts and not able to communicate with hidden staff in person. Qingzhou is the only one who can do it.” Long closed his eyes and said, “Damn, he had decided it last night!”

“Fine, it’s good that you understand,” Liu Suifeng said with a smile.

“He is in the Imperial Palace now, isn’t he?”

“Yes, that’s why he let me g come here and stay fairly and squarely, doing anything with you.” Liu Suifeng emphasized the last four words especially.

“You don’ t have to dress like a woman. I can be fond of men.” Long tried to force a smile but failed.

“I will be recognized even with a mask if I don’t dress like a woman. Moreover, there are two feasts before the worship 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.” Liu Suifeng sneered.

“Will the feasts take place in the Imperial Palace?”

“Yes, what?” Liu Suifeng grimaced.

“In the Imperial Palace... So we can contact with Qingzhou. You have thought it through and planned it well. What I can say?” Long said with a long sigh.

“I’m afraid that you will take it too hard.” Liu Suifeng shrugged his shoulders.

“...” 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 “interesting news” in the study.

“Your brother must be very angry that he was concealed.” Fang Shuoyang also couldn’t help laughing.

“Hmm, I know that because Brother Shi came to us last night. Why didn’t he tell my brother? Was he afraid that my brother would not agree?” Xu You scratched his head and asked.

“Your brother would never agree,” Fang Shuoyang said.

“Maybe he would.” Xu You blinked his eyes and said.

Fang Shuoyang just smiled, stopping saying anything.

“Why do you smile?” Xu You looked at him suspiciously and asked.

“You can ask for more antidotes in reserve since Liu Suifeng is here.” Fang Shuoyang changed the subject.

“What?” Xu You paused and then asked, “Why?”

“Because we need them. We’re obvious targets.” Fang Shuoyang was speechless at Xu You.

“Oh.” Xu You scratched his head sheepishly, “I forgot that...”

Fang Shuoyang had nothing to say in reply.

“I just reacted too slow for a second. Nothing strange!” Xu You twitched his mouth and said innocently.

“Yeah, you’re right. It’s nothing.” Fang Shuoyang said ingratiatingly at once.

“Humph.” 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.

“Well.” Xu You walked to Long and coughed.

“Childe Xu.” Long stopped at once and said respectfully.

He seemed to be deferential. But it sounded like through gritted teeth, maybe an illusion.

It’s probably just illusion.

“Where is your wife?” Xu You asked.

“In the room.” Long gnashed.

“Well, I go to see her.” 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, Wang 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 it’s not so difficult to get in.

It’s basically quite easy if they bribed one or two “batmen”.

They had already prepared well and got in the Western mountain.

At the same time, they came with Shi’s order that they needed to get ready before the worship.

The Western mountain range is very large. Wang 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 Shi’s order, “doing everything together with Long”. It’s show time of acting “very much in love”.

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. He’d 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 “fiercely” when he came back.

Yes! He must do it and he would!
