Chapter 177 - I Don’t Agree! (I)

Long was finally given a reasonable explanation for all the weird behavior of his empress earlier.

Long understood that Shi had known about his condition for a long time, so he was so anxious to clean up all the obstacles for his lover.

Shi Qingzhou… Shi Qingzhou…

Long mumbled this name, suffering a great deal of heartache.

Facing the heavy sarcasm of that handsome man, Long took a deep breath.

“That poisonous insect… It’s beyond remedy?”

“Yes, it’s beyond remedy.” The handsome man smiled. Seeing that Long looked so bad, he seemed to think of something. Then, he smiled significantly. “In fact, there’s still a way out.”

“Oh?” Long was surprised. “What do you mean?”

That man smiled. “You need to find the first master of the poisonous insect. Ask the patient to drink his blood and… have sex with him. Then, the poisonous insect will be removed.”

Long was stunned.

That man smirked. “Do you understand? Just let your lover spend one night with another guy, and he’ll be totally fine.”

Long was shocked.

The handsome man looked at Long with a smile. “Can you stand that? Your Majesty.”

He didn’t look serious and showed no respect at all when he called “Your Majesty”.

This method was completely different from what the eccentric Doctor Liu Suifeng said. It could be seen that this handsome man was playing a trick on Long, but Long didn’t realize that!

After a long silence, Long finally opened his mouth.

“Do you know where that man is?”

“Yes, of course I do.” That man pointed to his nose and said, “That man is just sitting in front of you.”

Long pursed his lips and said, “Are you willing to help him?”

“Yes, of course.” That man smiled. “I have never slept with the empress. Why would I refuse? I’ll just lose some blood. It won’t kill me.”

Long smiled. “Since you’re willing, let’s just do it. Okay?”

That man raised his eyebrows. “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

“Of course I know.” Long smiled. “But what can be more important than life?”

That man narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out whether Long was being serious or not. But Long looked very calm. That man didn’t know what Long was really thinking.

After looking at Long for a long time, that handsome man said, “Your Majesty, since you don’t mind, I’m more than happy to do it. Are you going to call him back, or go to find him?”

Long thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to find him together.”

“Go to find him?” That man doubted Long. “Can you leave the imperial city at will? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be usurped if you leave?”

Long smiled. “That’s really a problem, but I’ve worked out a solution. Why don’t you come back to the palace with me today? Let’s set off tomorrow.”

“Okay.” The handsome man agreed.

In fact, Long had already had that plan after Shi left.

The figure of one of the Shadow Guardians was similar that of Long and a guard in Shi Qingshan’s mansion was good at disguise.

That man also helped Long and Shi disguise themselves when they attacked the mountain.

Without that man, Long and Shi wouldn’t have got to the top of the mountain.

So this time, Long wouldn’t just leave. He would ask someone to be disguised as him!

If Long kept staying in the palace, Shi would worry about him and be distracted. So Long thought it would be better to leave!

When the real emperor was gone, what could those evil people do?

However, Long didn’t intend to carry out the plan so soon. He knew something must have happened to his empress.

Therefore, he planned to go out to find Shi only when Shi didn’t come back on time!

Long didn’t expect that Shi had hidden such a serious problem from him!

Shi would die… Thinking of that, Long felt that his heart had stopped beating. As for the method that stranger said…

In the modern society, how many men would still care whether his lover was a virgin or not?

Wasn’t life more important than that?

Long thought that he had slept with a lot of women, so why couldn’t he allow his empress to spend one night with another man?

It wouldn’t be a problem as long as Shi still loved him. Moreover, he could just take that man as Shi’s ex-boyfriend.

Although Long was a little jealousy, he didn’t think it was a big problem.

Long wondered if that handsome man thought he wouldn’t agree. How was that possible? What was more important than keeping his empress alive!

After arranging all the things in the imperial palace, Long left with Ouyang Chuan and several Shadow Guardians.

Long didn’t know that handsome man was called Ouyang Chuan until they set off.

However, even with this name, the Shadow Guardians did not find any information of that man, which surprised Long.

Long didn’t probe into that.

He thought that Doctor Liu Suifeng was a mysterious person. Since this man was related to Doctor Liu, it was normal that this man was also shrouded in mystery.

Long had sent someone to inform Shi Qingshan and tell him to figure out a strategy. If there was any problem, Shi Qingshan needed to solve it.

In addition, Long also informed General Qin Yuechun, who was staying at the border with Eastern Darkness. With all the arrangements, Long didn’t need to worry too much on the way.

It was already evening when they set out, so before long, Long said, “Do you want to keep going or find a place to stay at night?”

“It’s up to you.” Ouyang Chuan grinned. “If you want him to sleep with me soon, just keep going.”

Long was not angry. He just squinted at that man.

Ouyang didn’t care about Long at all. He said, “What? You don’t like it? It’s a pity that what I said will happen soon. You can’t do anything even if you don’t like it. It will happen sooner or later.”

Hearing this, Long glanced at Ouyang with doubt and said, “You don’t have to stress this all the time. Do you want me to mind it or do you mind it yourself?”

Ouyang’s face darkened. “What do I mind? After all, I won’t lose anything!”

Long smiled. “Oh really? I guess you love someone very much and you want him to only love you. That man is Liu Suifeng, right?”

“Long Xiaoyuan!” Ouyang got angry, “Take this!”

After that, Ouyang attacked directly. Long wasn’t a good martial artist, but he was not scared.

Ouyang was stopped by the Shadow Guardians when he was about to hit Long.

It seemed that Ouyang was furious and he attacked fiercely.

Both Ying Qiu and Ying Feng went to fight him, but it wasn’t easy for them to stop Ouyang at all.

Long thought of the day when he asked 50 Shadow Guardians to attack Liu Suifeng.

So, looking at the three people fighting, he said slowly, “Ouyang Chuan, I once ordered 50 people to fight Liu Suifeng. That day, he was beaten hard and his head was swollen like a pig’s. You hate Liu Suifeng, right? Are you happy to hear this?”

Hearing that, Ouyang suddenly stopped fighting.

Long continued with a smile, “Do you know why I asked others to beat him that day? Because he seduced a maid! I was furious. Although that maid was beautiful, he… he couldn’t do such a thing in my palace, right?”

Since Ouyang stopped, it was easy for his opponents to take advantage of that.

Although it seemed that Ying Qiu and Ying Feng were less powerful than Ouyang, it was not difficult for them to beat him at this moment.

So Ouyang got a punch in the face.

Long continued slowly, “After Liu Suifeng was beaten, that maid was very worried. She gently helped Liu Suifeng to wipe his face. Though it hurt a lot, I guess he must feel very happy at that moment.”

Ouyang couldn’t focus on fighting, so he was punched again.

Long kept talking about Liu Suifeng’s “romances” in the palace.

When Long was about to stop… Ouyang had been punched for many times and his head was also swollen like a pig’s.

The two Shadow Guardians stopped and went back to Long.

Long looked at Ouyang with a smile. “In fact, I was just kidding.”

Ouyang trembled with anger.

“Let’s keep going. I’ll rest in the carriage. Ouyang, you drive.”

After that, Long got on the carriage, followed by Ying Feng.

Ying Qiu sat outside for driving. There were two seats and the other seat was obviously for Ouyang.

Ouyang went over with a gloomy face and sat in another seat. He glared at Long who was sitting inside and then resumed their journey…
