Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Yes, he turned to Fang Shuoyang and I let Fang accepted him. The maid was ordered to send some messages out at the right moment without signatures, just the note. If she makes it, she can be picked out from the palace. If not, she will die but her family will live well in the future.”

Shi had some thoughts.

“It’s her choice. She was destined to die when she chose to work for the third prince and was willing to be under control,” Long said slightly.

Shi held his hands and said nothing more about the maid.

“Now she is dead, but her dear brother and sister have a great future as long as we are alive,” Long continued to say.

“Yeah, it’s a worthy death.” Shi nodded.

“Yes, at least she thought so.” Long said slowly, “She came from the empress’s palace. How do you think Lord Zhou would feel at such a sensitive time?”

“If I were him, I would think it was the empress’s letter to the Crown Prince.”

“Right, the empress and the Crown Prince barely meet though they are mother and son. Because he lives outside the palace, she needs someone to send messages in emergency. And she dare not take risks to see the Crown Prince. Lord Zhou will believe that.”

Shi nodded in agreement.

“Moreover, Lord Zhou only cares about Zhou Suye.” Long smiled slightly.

“It’s amazing that our men figured out who Zhou Suye is and looked clearly into the past. I still don’t know who they are.” Shi had a look at Long and suddenly said.

“Are you curious?” Long laughed.

“Yes, a little.” Shi nodded.

“Then there is no harm telling you.” Long whispered two names in Shi’s ear.

“It isn’t easy for them to become who they are today.” Shi said, flickering his eyes.

“Yeah, without you, I will be unlucky when Zhou Qing is caught.” Long smiled and said.

“So Lord Zhou will also be an unlucky wretch,” Shi said lightly.

“As to the other person…” Long said with an enigmatic smile, “indeed Lord Zhou has a good son. But his good son cannot let him be physically happy. He hates the empress a lot. He will promote the person even for the purpose of suppressing his empress and the Crown Prince. Not to mention that she had never been disloyal for all these years. Over the years, she had only sent messages three times. Lord Zhou still trusts her a lot.”

“Yeah.” Shi nodded.

A woman, who might be the king’s favorite consort.

A eunuch, who was the head eunuch by Lord Zhou’s side after more than two decades of development.

Those two persons were serving Lord Zhou’s enemy and wholeheartedly planned to hurt him. He would be unlucky unless he realized something.

Even though, Long and his men must be more cautious, otherwise they would meet with unexpected failure. Shi was surprised that two of the men arranged by the late Emperor could grow to such position.

And those men, of course, listened to the command of Long!

Done with serious matters, Long yawned and held the waist of Shi.

“Qingzhou, it’s late. We should stop talking and sleep now.”

Shi nodded.

Saying having rest, Long acted oppositely.

Shi finally grabbed Long’s hand when his hand reached into his skirt, fondling his chest, and going down.

“You said that we should sleep.”

“Yeah, but …” Long blinked his eyes innocently.

“Then there is no but.” Shi interrupted him quickly.

“Your refusal is so brutal, Qingzhou.” Long was even more plaintive suddenly.

Shi sneered and covered himself with the quilt, falling asleep.

Long remained sad for a while and then also fell asleep with arms around Shi, not going any further.

The next day, at dawn, Long opened his eyes.

Shi was not there already.

“When did he get up? I felt nothing.” Long mumbled and finally also got up.

When he went outside, he saw Xu You sitting in the yard far away.

“Childe Xu.” Long tidied himself, came over and said.

Xu You turned to him and looked at him with gloat.

Long felt very baffled. Why did Xu You look at him that way?

Then he suddenly realized why.

A pretty woman walked from the east corridor.

She was really pretty, with exquisite and seductive figure, but a little tall, which was fine because she was so beautiful!

What really surprised Long was that it seemed to be Liu Suifeng.

Yeah, that was Liu Suifeng!

But in woman’s wear.

Long was sure that nobody could recognize him unless someone who was familiar with him.

Oh, what the hell was he doing?

Although he needed an identity to cover him up when he showed up in Fang Shuoyang’s mansion, it couldn’t be…

“Dear, I’m here for you.”

Hearing what Liu Suifeng said, Long was in a mess suddenly.

Damn it! What the hell? Dear? Nonsense!

Long finally got why Xu You gloated.

“Dear, I came for you. It’s been several days. Why didn’t you write me a letter? I was worried.” Liu Suifeng said and his eyes were with tears.
