Chapter 195 - Someone Played Tricks (II)

Liu indeed appreciated Long’s courage.

As a matter of fact, the noblest emperor didn’t need to take the risk. But he did it, which was really impressive.

Drawing a jade bottle from his bosom, he threw it to Long.

Long took it, “What is it?”

“Pills for preventing pestilence. One pill can prevent you from being infected.”

“Is it so effective?”Long’s eyes brightened, “Could people outside the city enter after taking the pills?”

Liu slightly shook his head, “It costs too much. All the resources provided by the city only could afford two hundreds of pills. The main issue was that it took too much time to make the pills. As the pestilence is a virus, I think the most urgent issue is to detoxify the infected people.”

Feeling a little disappointed, Long nodded, “I see. Have you gotten any solution?”

While speaking, Long took a pill and gave the jade bottle to Shi.

After taking one pill, Shi threw out the jade bottle filled with more than ten pills. The bottle did not fall down, but was taken by one shadow guardian.

“Give me one more bottle.” Shi said coldly.Update by L istnovel.com

Liu gave a bitter smile, “It was the last bottle. Others had been given to the soldiers garrisoning the city.”

Long said, “How about I collect resources from several cities and send more imperial physicians here to make the pills? You could still focus on the antidote.”

“That will be okay as long as the time is enough.”

Long said without hesitation, “That’s settled then.”

Liu nodded with a smile, “That is really a blessing for the people.”

“By the way, you hadn’t told us the progress of the antidote.” Long reminded him immediately.

Hearing this, Liu turned to be serious, “No big problem in the general direction… But I believed this pestilence was an act of sabotage.”

Long was stunned, “What do you mean?”

“The pestilence was actually not so serious when I came here. I had found a solution before.”

“Wait.” Long interrupted Liu, “I heard there was another miracle-working doctor, was it true?”

“He was a quack, who could only cure minor illness, not the fatal and infectious disease. As a matter of fact, he was utilized.” Liu sneered.

“What’s the story?”

“I don’t know the details. According to my analysis , that miracle-working doctor did a disservice. I’m not sure if he did that on purpose. But after I found someone sabotaged this city later, I guessed he was most likely utilized. When I came here, I found a solution for the pestilence. But the water source of the city was added with something at the night I came here, worsening the physical condition of infected people quickly. As a result, people was supposed to suffered only one poison at the the beginning, but one poison became two poisons at last. So, we have to uncover the hidden evildoers, otherwise, they will poison people again even I kept this pestilence under control.”

Hearing what Liu said, Long’s eyes turned cold, “ Someone intentionally poisoned the water source? Good, I’d like to see what kind of people are so fearless.”

A cold homicidal look flashed in Shi’s eyes.

Right-Prime Minister just caught sight of Shi’s face a moment ago and didn’t notice his eyes.

After all, the Empress was the wife of Emperor even if he was a man. The ministers couldn’t look steadily at the Empress’ eyes.

Now, the homicidal look of Shi made Right-Prime Minister see his eyes and the color.

Right-Prime Minister was stunned, noticing that Shi seemed to have changed a lot, and couldn’t help wondering how it happened.

Long and Shi were walking outside.

Before they left, Long asked Right-Prime Minister to have a good rest instead of worrying about anything and leave everything to them.

Liu and Ouyang naturally followed them.

Long asked Liu to write down the prescription for preventing the pestilence.

Liu answered, “Okay, I’m going to write it down right now.”

Long nodded and said, “I will send more manpower here.”

The most important of all was to uncover the hidden evildoers!

When Long finished his things, he saw Shi leaning against the window and looking at outside. Although Long couldn’t guess Shi’s emotion from his cold side face, Long knew Shi was obviously not happy.

Long walked to Shi and softly hugged him from behind.

“Qingzhou, What are you thinking?”

Shi turned around his head and answered slightly, “Nothing.”

Long turned Shi’s face to him, with his chin put on Shi’s shoulder, “Really? You looks unhappy.”

Shi glanced at outside, “Should I be happy in the face of such circumstances?”

What Shi said was a little poignant. But Long didn’t take it seriously. On the contrary, Long was moved, then forcefully held Shi in his arms.

Long said, “You are supposed to be unhappy. But Qingzhou, you know what I mean.”

Looking away, Shi said nothing.

Long kissed Shi on his ear, “Qingzhou, you have a short memory. Did you forget what you promised me?”

Shi’s body was stiffened slightly, then became tender under Long’s kiss.

“Tell me what you were thinking just now… Did you want to find the hidden evildoers by yourself and then kill them?”

Shi slightly shivered, looking at Long in surprise.

Long curled his lips, “I knew it. You certainly thought so.”

Shi blinked his eyes, then dropped his eyelids, “Sorry… I couldn’t control myself.”

“Fool.” Feeling his heart ached, Long kissed Shi on the lips. Then, Long took a step back and stared at Shi’s eyes firmly before kissing Shi’s eyes.

Shi’s body shivered slightly.

Long said slightly, “I also want to kill them when I heard of the truth. How could I blame you?”

Shi felt relieved. Long’s understanding made Shi happy, with the light redness becoming more light.

Long gave another kiss on Shi’s eyes, “Qingzhou, I want you to know that I love you so much. You can say anything to me, and I will support you forever instead of blaming you, alright?”

Looking up at the sincere eyes of Long, Shi nodded slowly, “Hmm.”

Getting Shi’s promise, Long smiled.

After a while, Shi said, “Let’s stroll along the street.”

“Eh?” Long blinked his eyes, “Why?”

Shi answered slightly, “Just have a look.”

Hearing this, Long nodded, “Okay.”

Long and Shi left after the making the decision. Long thought Shi probably intended to attract the hidden evildoers, but he supported Shi’s action…
