Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Both his martial arts and medical skills were supreme and he liked to experiment with human bodies!

In the past few days, Huhe himself had been experimented several times, which was just like torture, but the doctor didn’t ask anything and Huhe didn’t have chance to ask for mercy.

Of course, his pride also didn’t allow him to beg for mercy!

In fact, he began to miss the person he saw when he just woke up.

Although that person asked him many questions, he wasn’t angry even if Huhe didn’t answer, and he didn’t experiment on him either!

Therefore, Huhe missed that person a little, even though he still didn’t know who that person was…

That night, Long sat in the courtyard after dinner, watching the moon and sighing.

Liu Suifeng came over from the other side and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help twitching when he saw Long. “Why are you sighing whiling looking at the moon?”

Did it anger you?”

Long took a look at him and sighed. “The moon is so pretty, but it’s a pity that Qingzhou is not here, so I can only sigh.”

Liu curled his lips. “My Brother Ouyang isn’t here, either. He’s still working for you. By the way, when are you going to stop all this?”

“Hmm?” Long blinked. “Why are you asking that?”

“If you don’t stop, he won’t be able to come back. You miss your dear Qingzhou and I also miss my Brother Ouyang, okay?”

“Well…” Long touched his chin and shook his head. “If we want to maximize the benefits, we still can’t stop now.”

Liu frowned. “Not now… Then when will it be?”

“I have to make both Eastern Darkness and Northern Barbarians feel the pain!”

“Hmm?” Liu was slightly stunned. “What does that mean?”

Long looked at him and said slowly, “I think you wouldn’t be interested in this.”

Liu thought about it and the corners of his mouth twitched. “Alright, I’m indeed not interested in it, but that doesn’t mean you can delay it indefinitely!”

“It’s not indefinite.” Long yawned lazily. “I think it’ll be soon. It’s only four days now. According to my estimate, Emperor Zhou’s order will arrive in two days. At that time, Eastern Darkness will take action. If we can strike a heavy blow to Eastern Darkness this time, it will be considered a victory and we can negotiate with Northern Barbarians.”

Liu narrowed his eyes. “So there are many things to do next.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Liu thought for a moment and said, “If people of Northern Barbarians come and you aren’t in the Imperial City, will it be okay?”

“Of course not, so we have to go back to the Imperial City with Huhe Huangcheng.”

Hearing that, Liu thought of Fang and asked, “What about Fang Shuoyang?”

“Right, there’s still Fang Shuoyang.” Long sighed. “It would be good if Emperor Zhou is disappointed with Zhou Suye this time. Then he wouldn’t do anything to hurt Fang Shuoyang in order to balance the situation.”

“Can Emperor Zhou be disappointed with Zhou Suye? It’ll be very difficult! You also said that he loved Zhou Suye very much and he did everything just to pave the way for his beloved son.”

“Yeah, I know.” Long touched his forehead and pointed to his head. “That’s why my head aches. But it is not impossible to do anything.”

Long still didn’t know that Emperor Zhou had already been disappointed with Zhou Suye. So he was trying to figure out a way to achieve that goal.

But if Long could succeed, it would make Emperor Zhou be more disappointed with Zhou Suye.

Because of the disappointment, Emperor Zhou would prefer Fang more in his heart!

“Hmm? What’s the plan?” Liu immediately asked.

Long looked at Liu and said slowly, “If Zhou Suye can lead troops in this war and is utterly defeated, Emperor Zhou might be disappointed when it’s compared to Fang’s great victory.”

After a pause, Liu couldn’t help asking, “It’ll be too difficult, won’t it?”

Long said slowly, “Human effort is the decisive factor.”

Liu’s lips twitched slightly. “Then what do you plan to do?”

Long said directly, “I’m still thinking.”

“What?” Liu even doubted he heard wrong!

Long took a look at him. “You didn’t hear wrong. I haven’t thought of a plan. How would I manage that? I can’t control the border of Eastern Darkness. Although Fang Shuoyang is there, I’m not Emperor Zhou and I can’t order Zhou Suye to lead the troops…”

Liu pursed his lips and glared at Long. “So are you kidding me?”

“No.” Long shook his head innocently. “No, I’m just thinking aloud.”

Liu ignored him and turned to leave.

At this time, Long let out a long sigh and looked more serious.

He really needed to think about it carefully. Although he was not Emperor Zhou, the latter was not staying at the border. So if they did it wisely, they would possibly make it with Fang’s help.

Besides, he believed that when his empress knew that the crown prince of Northern Barbarians had already been captured, his empress would definitely think of a way.

And his empress would think more of it than he did.

Moreover, his empress was there and it would be easier for them to judge the situation…

With that thought, Long’s eyes were filled with warmth…

His dear empress… They had been apart for a few days and Long missed him so much.

On the other side, Shi was indeed planning about it.

And he happened to have the same view with Long!

Shi also didn’t know that Emperor Zhou had been disappointed with Zhou Suye. He just thought that since their crown prince had been captured, Northern Barbarians would surely go to negotiate with them.

In that case, Long must return to the Imperial City.

If Long was about to go back, he would be worried and have to follow him.

Then no one would stay there to help Fang. It would be bad if any accident happened.

The best way was to make Emperor Zhou be disappointed with Zhou Suye. In this way, Emperor Zhou would not let anyone hurt Fang in order to balance the situation!

Of course, it would be best if Emperor Zhou really valued Fang, but it would be very difficult!

However, human effort was the decisive factor.

Shi had already thought of a plan, so he and Fang secretly discussed it in the camp. Xu was also with them, which could confuse other people and the outsiders wouldn’t know what they were plotting.

That night, Shi and Fang had a preliminary plan.

Xu was a little worried about that. “Will General Song make such a decision?”

Fang thought for a moment and said, “As long as Emperor Zhou’s order arrives, I’m sure there will be a war. We’ll cooperate with our elder brother to defeat the enemy at the border. If we hide our light under a bushel, it won’t be a problem. However, Zhou Suye is ambitious. If only one of the two princes can lead the troops, I believe he’ll fight for it. What’s more, he has an advantage. No matter what, he’s been here before and is familiar with the terrain, which gives him more leverage. So it might not be impossible for him to be the one leading the army.”

Shi also nodded. “If we operate well, we can still gain sympathy.”

Xu didn’t object to that and just said, “I hope things will go smoothly.”

Fang smiled. “Don’t worry. It will go smoothly.”

Shi didn’t stay there any longer. He turned around and stayed outside with the other guards.

After a few days of recuperation, Ying Feng had mostly recovered, but he couldn’t use much internal strength.

So, Shi went to see Ying Feng after guarding for a while.

Ying Feng just wanted to make it more real, so he wouldn’t be suspected. If not, he wouldn’t have suffered such serious injuries. In fact, not many people could hurt him!

Even if he covered for other people, he wouldn’t be injured so seriously, unless he did it on purpose. At least, he could’ve left unscathed if he wanted to.
