401. The Couple (II)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Noticing the look on their faces, Long Xiaoyuan added with a smile, “When we set off, we will divert the attention from you.”
His mouth twitching, Liu Suifeng was not comforted at all!
On the other hand, Ouyang Chuan was slightly calmer than Liu Suifeng.
He asked, “When are we leaving?”
Liu Suifeng quickly looked at him.
Ouyang Chuan said lightly, “If we stay here, there might be more troubles.”
Liu Suifeng fell silent. Thinking about it, what he said was very possible!
In the end, Liu Suifeng agreed. He couldn’t wait to set off with Huhe Huangcheng.
Now it was Long Xiaoyuan’s turn to be wordless.
Was he so annoying that all of them couldn’t wait to leave him?
In the end, Long Xiaoyuan asked them to leave at night.
Apart from the two of them, two more Shadow Guardians would be escorting Huhe Huangcheng.
They both were all good at martial arts.
At night, Long Xiaoyuan could finally make out with s.h.i.+ Qingzhou in bed.
Long Xiaoyuan asked softly as he hugged the person beside him. “Qingzhou.”
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou responded lightly, “Yes?” Long Xiaoyuan said in a lighter voice, “Were you worried when you were there?”
The thin film in s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s eyes had been removed, so Long Xiaoyuan could see the faint blood red in his eyes even at night when he gazed at s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.
That faint blood red looked particularly beautiful at night.
Long Xiaoyuan kissed his eyes as he asked.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou did not deny anything, and he replied honestly, “Yes, I was worried.”
Long Xiaoyuan smiled, “Were you afraid of losing the battle?”
“No.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said lightly. “Losing isn’t scary.”
“Then what were you worried about?”
“You,” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said directly, “I’m afraid that those people are targeting at you, but from the look of it, they do not know that you are here…”
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Well, this is good news. It seems that our spy cleaning campaign has been successful. Look, there are so many people in the Imperial City who know we are not around, but no one knows where we are. Actually, it’s not difficult to guess.”
“Yes.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was very satisfied with this. “Right Prime Minister is not bad now.”
Long Xiaoyuan laughed, “If you say he’s not bad, he is indeed not bad.”
“Yeah.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled.
Long Xiaoyuan gently planted a kiss on his lips. “Qingzhou, were you afraid I would be injured?”
“Yeah.”
“Qingzhou…” Long Xiaoyuan murmured, unable to hide the eagerness in his heart, and then kissed him fiercely.
As for s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, not only did he not refuse, but he responded warmly.
Long Xiaoyuan quickly deepened the kiss.
When the temperature in the room went up, Long Xiaoyuan had already stripped off s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s clothes.
When there were no clothes between them, they seemed to be closer to each other.
Especially in this war, too many people had died.
Sometimes, Long Xiaoyuan felt a little afraid of himself.
He didn’t regret starting this war, but this war made him realize one thing.
He was no longer the Long Xiaoyuan who had never hurt or harmed anyone, and who was dying of a heart attack.
Now he was an emperor whose hands were covered in blood, and he was able to trick people and murder them while chatting and laughing.
In his last life, this was perhaps just a world in a book, a strange world.
But now, this was the real world, the world he was in. He is completely a part of the world here.
The peaceful and prosperous 21st century in his memory could only exist in his dreams.
This made him a little uneasy, but it relieved him of a heavy burden on his mind.
The burden fell to the ground, and he belonged to here in the real sense…
From then on, he would have no way back, and he would not need any way back!
He just needed to move on!
He wanted no one in his country to look down on him, and he wanted to go on with his loved one.
This was his current and future goal.
Long Xiaoyuan hugged s.h.i.+ Qingzhou in his arms. The uneasiness disappeared from this long-lost intimacy…
When Long Xiaoyuan woke up early the next morning, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was still asleep.
Last night, the two of them stayed up late.
When s.h.i.+ Qingzhou couldn’t help asking for mercy, Long Xiaoyuan grabbed him and they did it again.
Therefore Qingzhou had not woken up yet.
Long Xiaoyuan was exhausted last night, and he fell asleep with s.h.i.+ Qingzhou in his arms, which made him feel uneasy.
Because they did not clean up! He was afraid that s.h.i.+ Qingzhou would feel uncomfortable today!
Long Xiaoyuan got up early and ordered a Shadow Guardian to fetch hot water.
After he cleaned up s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, he let him go back to sleep.
Meanwhile, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou woke up in a dizzy manner and he fell asleep again.
Long Xiaoyuan pitied s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, who seemed to be really tired. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have slept like this.
Long Xiaoyuan was not sleepy, but he didn’t want to get up. He felt peaceful and happy when he looked s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s sleeping face like this.
Therefore, after he cleaned up s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, Long Xiaoyuan simply hugged him and went back to sleep.
Anyway, there was nothing important for him to do, and other people will take care of the rest. He was not in the palace, so what if he loafed openly here?
At thought of this, Long Xiaoyuan had more reason to stay in bed!
However, to his surprise, he fell asleep when he looked at s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s face.
When he woke up, not only did he miss breakfast, but he also missed lunch!
Long Xiaoyuan was surprised. Why did he sleep for so long?
He looked at the place beside him. Where was Qingzhou?
Long Xiaoyuan quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and summoned a Shadow Guardian. The first thing he asked was s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s whereabouts.
The Shadow Guardian told him that s.h.i.+ Qingzhou had gone to the border.
Long Xiaoyuan pouted. “When did he go?”
“One hour ago.”
Long Xiaoyuan frowned. “Do you know why he went there?”
“I don’t know.”
Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand. “Alright, you can leave.”
The Shadow Guardian went away and Long Xiaoyuan decided to have lunch first.
If Qingzhou didn’t come back, he would go look for him.
He asked the Shadow Guardian to send him lunch. When he was about to have lunch, Qingzhou came back.
Long Xiaoyuan quickly went up to greet him. “Why are you back so soon? Didn’t you go to the military camp?”
“I went and took a look. Since there is nothing unusual, I come back. The camp is not bad now.”
Long Xiaoyuan asked, “Have those people been detoxified?” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded. “Yes, the soldiers are fine.”
“That’s good,” Long Xiaoyuan said, relieved. “Hurry up and have lunch. By the way, did you have breakfast?”
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou shook his head. “No.”
Long Xiaoyuan glared at him. “You don’t know how to take good care of yourself. You got up early, so why didn’t you have breakfast?”
Aggrieved, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said, “I wasn’t hungry at that time.”
Long Xiaoyuan had to surrender. “Alright, but you can’t do this again.”
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled. “Okay.”
Long Xiaoyuan pouted. He knew that s.h.i.+ Qingzhou definitely wouldn’t listen to him.
But it was fine, because he would keep an eye on him!
Long Xiaoyuan didn’t say anything else, and he said directly. “Come over and have lunch.”
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou hurriedly sat down.
“You didn’t have breakfast, so you can’t eat too fast now. It’s not good for your health.”
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded. “I know.”
“Have some soup first and soothe your stomach.” Long Xiaoyuan poured s.h.i.+ Qingzhou half a bowl of fish soup.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded and slowly drank.
Long Xiaoyuan was satisfied, starting to feed him other dishes. The couple was being lovey-dovey.
As Long Xiaoyuan fed s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, he ate a lot as well.
After they were through, they found they ate too much.
Long Xiaoyuan said hurriedly, “We ate too much. Let’s take a walk in the yard.”
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou naturally wouldn’t object, nodding. “Okay.”
So Long Xiaoyuan held s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s hand and walked out.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at the hand he was holding, and then he smiled…It could be seen that he was quite happy.
