Chapter 304. Got Sick (III)

It wasn’t Shi… Long was very disappointed.

Long sighed and had mixed feelings.

Soon after, Liu came in.

“How do you feel?”

Long looked at him. “Not very good.”

“Hmm?” Liu raised his eyebrows. “Did I anger you?”

“No,” Long said weakly.

Liu was a little puzzled. “Have you guys not made up yet?”

He wished they’d made up, but how could it be so simple?

Long curled his lips. “I want to be reconciled with him, but he didn’t care about me at all.”

“How come? I thought you’ve been reconciled,” Liu said in surprise.

Long glanced at him. “Why did you think so?”

“He was willing to take care of you and didn’t allow others to do it, so…”

“Wait,” Long interrupted him, “What did you say?”

Liu was confused. “What’s wrong?”

Long said, “You said he was willing to take care of me? When did he do that?”

“Last night. Didn’t you know?” Liu asked in surprise.

Long pursed his lips. “No, I didn’t know. Ying Feng said he was the one who took care of me last night.”

“How is it possible?” Liu said immediately, “When I asked if I needed to ask the Shadow Guardians to look after you, he said he’d do it.”

Long took a deep breath. “So, I was fooled by my own Shadow Guardian?”

Liu blinked, “Uh… If he lied to you, then it must be Shi Qingzhou’s idea.”

Long rolled his eyes. “Of course I know!”

Liu shrugged. “Then what are you going to do? He took care of you, but didn’t want to admit. What did you do to make him so angry?”

Long’s face darkened. “Why didn’t you ask what he did to make me angry?”

Liu curled his lips and immediately asked, “Alright. What did he do to make you so angry?”

Liu was all ear, but after thinking for a while, Long said, “I won’t tell you.”

Liu became speechless.

Your Majesty, could you be more naive?

Long still didn’t tell Liu in the end. Liu lost interest and left directly.

Later, Long summoned that Shadow Guardian with a gloomy face.

Ying Feng knelt on the ground.

Long narrowed his eyes. “Ying Feng, you are so bold. How dare you lie to me?”

Ying Feng said immediately, “Your Majesty, I deserve to die!”

Long took a deep breath. “Did the empress ask you to do so?”

Ying Feng bowed his head and admitted tacitly.

After a while, Long said unhappily, “I hope that things of this kind won’t happen again. Otherwise… You can weigh it up yourself.”

“Yes! I understand.”

Long waved his hand. “Where is Qingzhou?”

“I don’t know.”

The corners of Long’s mouth twitched. “Ying Feng, you’ve really neglected your duty. You don’t even know where your master has gone!”

“I’ll go look for him right now!”

Long curled his lips. “Go ahead.”

After Ying Feng left, Long felt a little tired, so he lay on the bed to rest.

Thinking that he wouldn’t recover in one day, Long frowned.

When Liu was with him earlier, Long forgot to ask him why his constitution hadn’t improved.

It was unfair that no one else caught a cold, except for him!

Was it just because he stayed up all night? That was nothing serious, right?

He was dissatisfied and murmured to himself. Later, the Shadow Guardians brought him some porridge for breakfast.

After having a little, Long fell asleep.

When Long woke up again, he was surprised to see… that it was getting dark!

He actually slept for such a long time again?

Long couldn’t believe it. He thought that he was just like a pig.

That was… unexpected!

Long rubbed his head and got up.

Then, he was very surprised to find… that his head didn’t ache anymore.

Moreover, he no longer felt limp and exhausted!

Oh? Long blinked, wondering if he’d recovered after sleeping for a while.

Well, when he caught a cold in the past, it would take at least two days to get better.

This time… it was quite fast.

While he was thinking like that, Liu and Ouyang came together.

Ouyang asked, “How do you feel?”

Long blinked. “I feel much better. I think I’ve recovered.”

Liu smiled. “Sure enough, dredging the meridians is very effective.”

“I thought it was useless earlier. I didn’t know why I got a cold so easily.” Long curled his lips.

Liu couldn’t help rolling his eyes when he heard that. “That’s not so powerful, okay? You’ve just done that. Even if you did it from a young age, it wouldn’t be so effective as you think. It’s impossible not to get sick. Besides, if you catch a cold sometimes, it’s less likely that you’ll be seriously ill. Otherwise, it’ll be harder for your body for handle it.”

Long blinked, thinking that he had heard about this saying in the modern society.

As for those who didn’t usually get sick and had been healthy, once they got ill, it’d be cancer or some serious diseases.

On the contrary, the odds of getting cancer for those who always suffered minor illnesses were relatively low.

He didn’t expect that ancient people also thought so…

Long curled his lips. When he was just about to say something, there was some sound from the door, so he looked in that direction.

He was surprised. That was his empress… Shi was back…

Long suddenly remembered that before he went to bed, he asked a Shadow Guardian to look for Shi…

However, he was too sleepy and didn’t wait for him…

He didn’t know if Shi came back while he was sleeping… Or perhaps, Shi just came back…
