Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Long also received the news, saying that Liu once woke up, but fainted again.

After looking at each other, Long and Shi decided to go have a look.

When they got there, they didn’t dare to disturb Doctor Zhang, so they just waited in the outer room.

About half an hour later, Doctor Zhang finally came out.

“Zhang Yuan, how is he?”

“Your Majesty, please rest assured. The acupuncture methods Doctor Liu told me are very effective. Now the unknown toxin in his body has been controlled. When Doctor Liu wakes up tomorrow, he should have a better way.”

“You said Liu Suifeng can wake up tomorrow?” Long was very happy.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The acupuncture should be done every two hours. He’ll surely wake up tomorrow,” Doctor Zhang said affirmatively.

“That’s good… That’s good…” Long breathed a sigh of relief.

Long and Shi left after staying in Yushang Palace for a while.

After coming out, Shi said, “Why don’t you talk to Ouyang Chuan?”

Long shook his head. “I’d better not. He must be in a bad mood now. I don’t want to annoy him.”

Shi raised his eyebrows. “Are you afraid that he’ll blame you?”

Long smiled. “I don’t think he’ll blame me… but… it’s just unnecessary. After Liu Suifeng recovers, I can say anything I like, but now everything is annoying for him. Besides, comforting words are actually meaningless, so just let him stay with Liu Suifeng quietly.”

“Well, what you said makes sense.”

Long took Shi’s hand. “Of course, Qingzhou, my words always make sense. There is absolutely no doubt about this!”

Shi rolled his eyes. “You’ve had your tail up.”

“Haha.” Long laughed. There was hope that Liu would wake up, so Long felt a little relieved.

The next day, Liu really woke up.

It was noon, when Long and Shi happened to go to visit him.

Long was right in front of the bed. When Liu opened his eyes, Long was taken back. Then, he said happily, “Hey, Liu Suifeng, you are awake!”

Liu looked at Long and smiled. “The emperor is here.”

Long raised his eyebrows. “Yeah, it’s me. Who do you think it is?”

Liu smiled and turned his head. “Brother Ouyang.”

“Yeah.” Ouyang held Liu’s hand. “It’s me. You’re awake…”

Liu blinked and suddenly said, “I feel hungry. I want to eat something.”

“Okay, eat something.” Ouyang smiled, “I’ll order the servants to prepare some food.”

“Okay. I’ll be waiting for you.”

After Ouyang went out, Long said, “Liu Suifeng, what are those things in your body? Are they toxins or poisonous insects? Do you know that?”

“They’re poisonous insects. The whole body of Chen Mengxing was made up of poisonous insects. I don’t know what method he used to get himself exploded. Then, those poisonous insect came out of his body and entered mine. Fortunately, those insects haven’t got into my heart. Thanks to the golden silk armor, I’m still fine.”

Liu also felt a little scared as he spoke.

He would be in great danger if he didn’t wear the golden silk armor back then.

Long and Shi looked very serious after hearing this. “So how can you get rid of them?”

“I already have a preliminary plan. I will talk to Zhang Yuan in detail later.”

“That’s good.” Long let out a sigh of relief. “I was afraid you wouldn’t think of a way.”

Liu smiled faintly. “Who am I? Is it possible that I can’t think of a way? Don’t worry. Yama won’t take me away.”

“Stop bragging. If you were really so powerful, you wouldn’t be lying here now, would you?” Long sneered.

Liu felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, Ouyang came in with some food.

The smell of the bird’s nest porridge made Liu’s mouth water.

“It smells so good…”

“Of course it does. The dishes made by the imperial cooks in the palace are naturally extraordinary,” Ouyang said with a smile.

Liu blinked. “Help me up.”

“No need to sit up. Just lie there and eat.” Long teased him.

Liu rolled his eyes. “Lie here and eat? Do you think everyone is as lazy as you?”

With a faint smile, Ouyang helped Liu up.

“Suifeng, is it comfortable? Tell me if it makes you tired.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Ouyang, it’s okay. I’m not that vulnerable as a little girl.”

Long rolled his eyes. “Right, you’re not vulnerable, but you’ve been lying here for seven or eight days.”

Liu’s face darkened and he wanted to drive Long away. “All right, you can go now. Don’t ruin my mood here!”

Shi gently pulled Long to stop him from arguing with Liu.

“Well, let’s go. There are still some memorials that have not been dealt with.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, Qingzhou.” Long looked like a henpecked husband.

Liu sneered, his eyes full of mockery at Long.

Long didn’t care about Liu at all and still looked very proud. Then, he took Shi’s hand and left.

Shi looked at the man next to him and felt a little embarrassed, wondering why this guy… could find pleasure in it.

After a pause, Shi said, “Just look at yourself… Do you still have dignity?”

“What? Dignity?” Long blinked. “Do I still need dignity in front of my empress? That’s for outsiders.”

Shi found it so funny. “So… Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan are not outsiders?”

“They are, but I just want to show off in front of them. A man should spoil his wife, shouldn’t he? Others should feel envious!” Long took it for granted.

Long was very serious and wasn’t joking at all. Shi thought it was a bit funny, but he felt very happy at the bottom of his heart…

Someone you loved also loved you deeply. Nothing could make you happier than that, right?

Long took Shi’s hand and walked towards Qiankun Palace. “By the way, Qingzhou, are there any letters from your father?”

“No. What’s the matter?” Shi asked.

Long touched his chin. “I’m just thinking, Mr. Chen definitely wasn’t abandoned by them, but he has been dead for a while… Logically speaking, all parties should have taken action.”

After a pause, Shi said slowly, “That makes sense…”

Long smiled. “But no news is good news… At least, we can have some quiet time.”

“Yes…” Shi nodded. “Indeed…”
