419. I Want to Protect YouTranslator: Storm in a Teacup

After Liu Suifeng was through with breakfast, the three of them went out of the general’s mansion.

Long Xiaoyuan asked, “How should I feel it?” He didn’t know much about this.

Liu Suifeng said, “I’ll give you some of my internal power to activate the Golden King Insect, and you will feel the activity of it. If you go to a place where you could feel that it is more active, that means there is something wrong with the place.”

Liu Suifeng explained in detail. He knew well about the activity pattern of Golden King Insect because Ouyang Chuan had the Golden King Gu in his body as well.

Therefore, Liu Suifeng could explain to Long Xiaoyuan clearly.

Long Xiaoyuan nodded solemnly. “Okay. I got it.”

After Liu Suifeng explained in detail, Long Xiaoyuan got down to work.

When he walked to the big locust tree not far from the general’s mansion, Long Xiaoyuan suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his heart. Suddenly, his face turned pale.

And this also gave him a bad memory of his heart attack in his last life.

Shi Qingzhou and Liu Suifeng had been watching Long Xiaoyuan closely, so they quickly noticed his unusual expression.

Shi Qingzhou reacted quickly. He took the lead to pull Long Xiaoyuan away behind him.

“That place upsets you? Stay away from it.”

Long Xiaoyuan felt his heartbeat returned to normal after he went away from the tree.

At this moment, he felt that his heart was beating very quickly. In addition, he seemed to sense the feeling of the Golden King Insect in his body.

Was it… upset?

It seemed so, and it seemed to be irritated.

Obviously, the Golden King Insect did not want to get close to the tree.

“Is it the locust tree?” Liu Suifeng asked in a low voice.

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “Yes. I felt uncomfortable when I got closer.”

Liu Suifeng nodded instantly.

However, this place was outside the general’s mansion. Although it was not crowded, there were quite some people passing by.

If there was something wrong with the locust tree, it was a problem.

Long Xiaoyuan guessed what Liu Suifeng was worried about, so he said, “Let’s wait here. Qiu Ming is arriving. I will tell him to seal here with the troops first.”

This indeed would make things easier.

Liu Suifeng nodded, smiling. “You send soldiers to surround the general’s mansion. Aren’t you afraid that General Shi will misunderstand?”

“It’s fine.” Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand. “He’s at the border!”

Liu Suifeng looked at him speechlessly. “Maybe he will leave the bother and hurry back if he misunderstands you.”

“Will he?” Long Xiaoyuan blinked and asked Shi Qingzhou, his lover.

Shi Qingzhou shook his head calmly, “Don’t worry, he won’t.”

Long Xiaoyuan turned to Liu Suifeng with a smirk. “Do you hear that? Qingzhou says he won’t.”

Liu Suifeng was lost for words.

Qiu Ming arrived very soon, who had an air of a great general since he had experienced a lot and got more mature.

Liu Suifeng couldn’t help thinking that when Shi Qingshan and Qin Yuechun resigned, Qiu Ming would be known by more people.

He would be somebody one day!

He would shine in the army.

When Qiu Ming came over, he bowed to Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou. After that, Long Xiaoyuan gave him a few words.

Qiu Ming surrounded the general’s mansion.

Including the locust tree.

The action of surrounding the general’s mansion distracted the attention from the small group of people under the locust tree.

Long Xiaoyuan was satisfied with Qiu Ming’s plan, exchanging a glance with Shi Qingzhou.

After that, Liu Suifeng went to the locust tree.

Long Xiaoyuan wanted to follow, but Shi Qingzhou stopped him.

“Why are you going?”

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou innocently, who was unmoved.

When Long Xiaoyuan thought about the pain of the heart attack just now, he did not insist.

Therefore, he stayed behind and waited with Shi Qingzhou.

However, they waited for a long time.

There were many people gathering outside, discussing why the Emperor had sent soldiers to seal the general’s mansion.

Liu Suifeng hadn’t come back yet.

The lunch time had passed. Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou exchanged a glance, realizing that they were in great trouble.

Qiu Ming came over. He didn’t salute, knowing that Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou didn’t want to expose their identities outside.

“Your Majesty, do we need to evacuate the people outside?”

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. “It’s useless to evacuate. We have excited the attention. Leave it as it is, and we might be able to lure some people out.”

Shi Qingzhou echoed, “That’s right. There is no need to evacuate.”

Therefore, Qiu Ming stopped asking, making more disguise on the locust tree.

Long Xiaoyuan said. “Qingzhou, go over and see what is holding Liu Suifeng up.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded, but he looked at Long Xiaoyuan and warned. “I’ll go, and you stay put here.”

Long Xiaoyuan pulled a wry face. Qingzhou treated him as a child.

However, Long Xiaoyuan nodded obediently. “Okay, I know.”

After that, Shi Qingzhou walked to Liu Suifeng.

Long Xiaoyuan watched Shi Qingzhou go away, feeling helpless and sweet.

However, Shi Qingzhou did not walk far because Liu Suifeng was coming back.

So Shi Qingzhou simply walked back to Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan saw Liu Suifeng coming over as well.

“How is it? Is it very difficult?” Long Xiaoyuan asked as Liu Suifeng approached.

Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly. “I know there is something wrong, but I couldn’t figure out what it is. In this case, I could only have the locust tree cut and burned. But if we do that, the problem will probably be burned to death.”

Long Xiaoyuan paused and said instinctively, “I’ll go and take a look.”

“No.” Shi Qingzhou immediately objected.

Liu Suifeng shrugged. “I am at my wit’s end now, but I think Ouyang is arriving soon. Maybe I will find a solution after I skim through my master’s medical books.”

“Ouyang?” Long Xiaoyuan paused. “When will he arrive?”

Liu Suifeng thought about it and said. “I calculated the journey, and he will arrive today.”

Liu Suifeng understood Ouyang. Although he told him not to rush, he thought Ouyang would try to arrive at the fastest speed.

Therefore, he estimated that Ouyang would arrive today.

Long Xiaoyuan muttered, “I wonder if he will arrive today.”

Shi Qingzhou didn’t say anything.

Liu Suifeng was not sure. “I’ll keep guard here. I won’t let anyone get close to the tree. I’m afraid that these soldiers can’t stop any martial arts masters from approaching the tree.”

Long Xiaoyuan looked at the time and said, “Okay, Qingzhou and I will go in for lunch first.”

“Okay. You guys go first. I’ll think about the healing plan.” He meant the plan to expel the venomous insects from Shi Qingzhou’s body.

Long Xiaoyuan went in the mansion with Shi Qingzhou.

Once they got inside, Madam Shi came up to them worriedly.

She knew the mansion was surrounded and she was worried, but she wasn’t too worried.

Because she knew that her son was with the Emperor outside.

They did this for the sake of the general’s mansion, but she didn’t dare to send someone out to take a look, afraid to ruin their plan. She had been holding back her curiosity.

“Mom, let’s go in and talk,” Shi Qingzhou said immediately.

Madam Shi quickly nodded.

When they entered the inner room, Madam Shi was about to bow to Long Xiaoyuan, who quickly stopped her and smiled. “Mother, don’t be over polite. We’re family.”

Madam Shi’s heart trembled at the way he addressed her.

However, she stuttered a reply at sight of Long Xiaoyuan’s sincere face.

Shi Qingzhou didn’t say anything about the way Long Xiaoyuan addressed his mother.

Although he could tell that his mother seemed uneasy, he was satisfied with Long Xiaoyuan’s respect shown to his mother.

Therefore, when his mother looked at him with pleading eyes, Shi Qingzhou pretended not to see her.

Madam Shi did not know what her son was thinking, but she had to give up.

After that, Madam Shi cautiously asked what was going on outside.

Shi Qingzhou said quickly, “Mother, don’t worry. Someone has done something mysterious outside our mansion, and we are trying to figure out what it is, so we sealed the mansion for the time being.”

Madam Shi’s expression changed. “Something mysterious?”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “The mansion has been checked, and it is not poisoned. There is something wrong with the outside and we are solving it.”

“I see…” Madam Shi mumbled.

Shi Qingzhou nodded and said, “Mother, don’t talk about this for the moment. Let’s have lunch first.”

“Alright, alright,” Madam Shi naturally agreed.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou enjoyed their lunch together. After that, Madam Shi didn’t disturb them and left with the servants who cleaned up the table.

After she left, Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou and said slowly. “Qingzhou, I don’t know when Ouyang Chuan will come. We can’t totally rely on the books or notes he brings over, can we?”

Shi Qingzhou didn’t say anything.

Long Xiaoyuan continued softly, “Qingzhou, Liu Suifeng is here, and there won’t be any serious problems. What if Ouyang Chuan couldn’t make it today? In that case, we can’t keep soldiers here, as it could cause panic.”

Shi Qingzhou kept silent.

Long Xiaoyuan got helpless, walking over and hugging Shi Qingzhou’s waist.

“Qingzhou, I know you’re worried about me, but it’s okay. At most, I feel a little uncomfortable, but at least I’m safe, right? Back then, when I improved my physique, it hurt too. Didn’t I make it?”

Shi Qingzhou remained silent.

Long Xiaoyuan turned his face towards him, and then gently kissed his mouth…

Shi Qingzhou didn’t reject the kiss.

So Long Xiaoyuan deepened the kiss.

“Qingzhou, I want Liu Suifeng to solve the problem here as soon as possible so we can go back and work on the venomous insects in your body, which is what I’m most worried about.”

“Qingzhou, I want to be with you forever…” Long Xiaoyuan continued as he kissed Shi Qingzhou’s lips.

In the end, Shi Qingzhou was convinced.

Thus, the two of them walked outside together.

When Liu Suifeng saw them coming over, he went to meet them. He had already had lunch, but the meal wasn’t as exquisite as that in the mansion.

It was delivered by someone from the general’s mansion. He and Qiu Ming both had some lunch, but the rest of the soldiers hadn’t eaten yet.

“Have you had lunch yet?” asked Long Xiaoyuan.

Liu Suifeng nodded immediately. “Yes, I’ve had. It was delivered by someone from the general’s mansion.”

“Oh, that’s good. I’ll go over there with you,” Long Xiaoyuan said.

Liu Suifeng abruptly looked at Shi Qingzhou, who nodded slightly. He said, “Okay.”

Thus, the three of them walked to the tree together.

The closer he got to the locust tree, the more uncomfortable Long Xiaoyuan felt.

Liu Suifeng said, “You can only feel the problem according to the activity of the Golden King Insect. I’ll give you the golden silk gloves, with which you can touch the locust tree and the ground.”

Long Xiaoyuan nodded with difficulty. At this moment, they arrived in front of the locust tree.

Long Xiaoyuan’s heart ached, so he could only nod with difficulty.

The cold sweat coursed down his face at the pain.

Shi Qingzhou’s frown deepened.

Liu Suifeng was afraid that Shi Qingzhou would take Long Xiaoyuan away. Moreover, from the look of Long Xiaoyuan, Liu Suifeng did not dare to let him continue. After all, Long Xiaoyuan was the Emperor. If anything happened to him…

Liu Suifeng got highly tense, watching Long Xiaoyuan closely.

Long Xiaoyuan endured the pain in his heart and touched the locust tree.

Suddenly, he groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Shi Qingzhou and Liu Suifeng were shocked. Shi Qingzhou put one hand on Long Xiaoyuan’s wrist, intending to take him away.

Long Xiaoyuan quickly said, “Wait, it’s right here. I can feel it.”

Without hesitation, Liu Suifeng slapped the position that Long Xiaoyuan pointed. He shot a long silver needle into the place and then pulled it out with his inner power.

A worm was sucked out, struggling on the silver needle.

There was a golden thread at the end of the silver needle, with which Liu Suifeng could pull out the worm!

The worm was pulled out. Liu Suifeng quickly thrust it into a special jade bottle and put the lid on.

Shi Qingzhou was about to take Long Xiaoyuan away, who stopped him again. “I feel that there are more. Wait.”

Liu Suifeng and Shi Qingzhou’s expressions changed. “There are more?” The two of them was shocked.

Nodding, Long Xiaoyuan leaned against Shi Qingzhou and stood up, continuing to feel.

Long Xiaoyuan’s face was pale, and there were blood stains at the corner of his mouth, making him look ghastly .

Shi Qingzhou felt cold and worried. He wanted to take him away, but Long Xiaoyuan was very stubborn. “Wait, Qingzhou, don’t waste my efforts.”

‘Don’t waste his efforts.’ Shi Qingzhou’s heart ached again, but he gave up.

“I need to go higher. Qingzhou, take me up with your lightness skills.” The locust tree was very tall, and Long Xiaoyuan could not touch a very high place with his height.

Shi Qingzhou bit his lip and leapt up with Long Xiaoyuan.

Just like that, they caught six worms from one tree.

After that, Long Xiaoyuan landed on the ground, but he did not relax, saying, “There are more under the ground.”

Liu Suifeng had long been prepared. He had fiercely slapped the ground and the earth was loosened up.

Long Xiaoyuan pointed at a few places, from each of which Liu Suifeng pulled out one worm.

In the end, they caught four worms from the ground.

In total, they caught ten worms.

Once all of this was done, Long Xiaoyuan finally heaved a sigh of relief. He felt the calmness of the Golden King Insect in his body, but he had reached his limit and fainted.

Shi Qingzhou’s face changed dramatically.

Liu Suifeng quickly said, “Take him to the general’s mansion first. I’ll give him treatment.”

Without demur Shi Qingzhou picked up Long Xiaoyuan and left with lightness skill.

Liu Suifeng quickly followed him without delay. He asked Qiu Ming to guard the place for the safety’s sake and wait for him to come back and check again.

As a result, Qiu Ming guarded this place tightly.

Liu Suifeng was brought to Long Xiaoyuan, and Shi Qingzhou was waiting there.

Liu Suifeng immediately felt Long Xiaoyuan’s pulse. After a long time, he heaved a sigh of relief after a long time.

“It’s just the sharp pain. There’s no big problem. I’ll prescribe some healing medicine. He should be fine when he wakes up.”

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. “When will he wake up?”

Liu Suifeng thought carefully and said. “He should wake up before dinner.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Can he move?”

“If you want him to rest well, you’d better make him stay in bed.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded without saying anything else.

Liu Suifeng didn’t stay longer. He left the prescription behind and asked someone to buy and decoct the herbs.

When he went outside, Qiu Ming was still guarding there. Liu Suifeng carefully checked again and found that there was nothing wrong. He was relieved.

The next step was to identify the venomous insect and its effect…

After thinking for a while, Liu Suifeng felt that he was not needed here for the time being, so he went back to the palace.

His lab was in the imperial palace, and Zhang Yuan was there too. He could have some help there.

Long Xiaoyuan had Shi Qingzhou, and there should be no problem.

As expected, Long Xiaoyuan woke up before dinner when it was dark.

Shi Qingzhou had been taking care of him, so he knew it when Long Xiaoyuan woke up.

“You’re awake?”

Long Xiaoyuan blinked, not knowing what was wrong with him.

Shi Qingzhou said, “You fainted in the pain.”

Long Xiaoyuan felt embarrassed, thinking it was a shame.

“I fainted in pain? I’m so fragile.”

Shi Qingzhou glared at him. “You’re too reckless!”

Long Xiaoyuan giggled foolishly.

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips tightly. “I regret it.”

Long Xiaoyuan felt a pain in his heart. “Qingzhou…”

Shi Qingzhou slowly looked away without saying anything.

Long Xiaoyuan sat up in bed in good spirit, hugging Shi Qingzhou tight.

“Sorry, I didn’t know it would be so serious. However, I am your man. If there is any pain, I should be the one who suffer.”

Shi Qingzhou got angry. “You…”

Long Xiaoyuan said firmly, “Qingzhou, I’m your man. I want to protect you.”

Shi Qingzhou’s heart trembled. He suddenly realized that he didn’t know what to say.

Long Xiaoyuan kissed his mouth and changed the topic. “I fell a little hungry. It’s dark now?”

“Yes, you can have dinner now. I’ll have it served here.”

Long Xiaoyuan blinked. “Are we staying here tonight?”

Shi Qingzhou looked at him. “We can go back.”

Long Xiaoyuan said, “Let’s stay here. I want to sleep with you in the place where you lived when you were young.”

Shi Qingzhou looked at him and nodded. “I’ll go get the medicine.”

“What?” Long Xiaoyuan was shocked. “I’m fine. Why do I need to take medicine?”

Shi Qingzhou said coldly, “Liu Suifeng says that you need to take it for a month.” He was trying to scare Long Xiaoyuan.

“What?” Long Xiaoyuan was stunned. “A month?”

‘God, you’d better kill me.’

Now Long Xiaoyuan himself felt regretful… This was really a sad thing…
