Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 226: Then I Won’t Go

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

It wasn’t easy for Long to stay there for four hours. At first, he felt very good.

Liu put some special medical herbs in the bathwater, which could make Long feel better.

However, as time went on, Long began to feel uncomfortable...

Especially when the water became cold, Long felt a piercing pain in his body.

Shi was staying with him, so Long didn’t say anything. He knew he couldn’t say that in front of Shi.

Even if Long kept silent, Shi still noticed that.

“What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?” Shi asked immediately.

Long smiled bitterly “No.”

Shi pursed his lips and looked at Long with cold eyes.

Long told the truth at once. “Well, Qingzhou, I feel a little uncomfortable.”

Shi frowned at once. “Why’s that? Did Liu Suifeng tell you the reason?”

Long shook his head. “No... But the water is getting cold. It’s normal that I feel a little bad. There is only half an hour left. Don’t worry.”

Shi said slowly, “Wait a moment. I’ll send for Liu Suifeng.”

Long wanted to stop him, but looking at Shi walk to the door, Long didn’t say anything.

He knew that even if he didn’t think it was a big problem, Shi would still be worried. Shi would only feel relieved after he talked with Liu.

Therefore, Long did not stop him.

After ordering a Shadow Guardian to call Liu over, Shi went back.

Long opened his mouth. “Qingzhou, pour me some water.”

Shi nodded and immediately went to get water for Long. When Liu arrived, Long had already drunk a glass of water and felt a little better.

“What’s the matter? Is there a problem?” Liu asked.

“The water is getting cold. He doesn’t feel good,” Shi said.

After a short silence, Liu said, “It’s inevitable. There’s only half an hour left. Hang in there.”

Shi knitted his brows.

Long said, “Yes, there’s not much time left... Liu Suifeng, I’m fine. You can leave now.”

Liu nodded. He knew that Long was worried that his presence would make Shi lose his mind.

Liu left soon and Shi reacted better than Long expected.

At least the color of his eyes did not change, although he fell into silence.

Long did not dare to speak. He was afraid that he could not help groaning if he opened his mouth.

With time going on, Long felt so terrible that it was like thousands of insects biting his body and he almost couldn’t stand it.

Therefore, Long didn’t have the energy to care about Shi’s feelings. He just tried to restrain himself and make himself look good.

Finally, half an hour passed. Just as Long was about to say something, Shi carried him in his arms.

Long was surprised. “Qingzhou?”

Shi said gently, “Don’t speak. I’ll take you to have a bath.”

Long nodded. He felt drained and would just allow Shi to serve him.

Shi took Long to the bathing place where everything had been prepared a long time ago.

Although this place couldn’t be compared with that in the imperial palace, at least there were enough articles for daily use. Moreover, it was very large and quiet.

The water had been prepared by the Shadow Guardians. Shi didn’t care that he still had clothes on and just carried Long to the water. Immersed in the warm water without herbs, Long felt a little strange at first.

Gradually, his whole body warmed up.

He had been soaked in cold water for a long time, which made him feel bad.

Now that his whole body became warm, Long felt much better.

Half an hour later, Long finally recovered. He could speak normally and also looked better.

“Qingzhou, I’m much better now. Don’t worry.”

Shi nodded. “That’s good.”

“Your clothes are soaked. Take them off.” Long found that Shi still had clothes on.

Shi nodded and removed his clothes.

Long leaned over and put his arms around Shi’s waist. “Qingzhou, kiss me.”

Shi looked at him and didn’t move.

Long blinked. “No?”

Shi’s answer was... he got closer and kissed Long with great passion.

Long was startled. Although this was what he wanted, he was still shocked when his lover behaved like that.

That was also a nice surprise for him.

The two of them kissed each other passionately. If Long was not so weak, he would definitely do something further!

When the two men stopped, Long was quite out of breath.

Shi patted Long on the back to make him feel better.

Long felt extremely embarrassed to make Shi do that for him. Tut tut...

“Qingzhou...”

“Do you want to go?” Shi said.

Long blinked and nodded. “Yes, let’s go.”

Shi nodded. “The servants have put the clothes outside. Wait a moment. I’ll go get them.”

“Okay.” Long naturally wouldn’t say no.

Shi went to help Long after he had dressed himself. Long’s legs were still a little weak and Shi helped him while they were walking.

They went to their own room. After they arrived, Shi helped Long to lie down on the bed and Long finally had the energy to ask about the Song mansion.

“Song Cailian is wanted. Her father is very sad, but he’s still okay,” Shi said.

Long sighed. “It’s a pity that Mrs. Song died.”

Shi pursed his lips and did not speak.

Long held Shi’s hand and said gently, “Qingzhou, I’m hungry. Let’s eat something.”

In fact, Long was not hungry. He knew that if he didn’t eat, Shi wouldn’t eat, either. So he could only say so. It was also good if he could eat something, which would help him build up his strength.

“I’ll ask them to deliver the food,” Shi said immediately.

“Mhmm.” Long nodded with a smile.

They had a late lunch because it was almost time for dinner.

Long hadn’t eaten anything all day, but he was not hungry at all. Even so, he still forced himself to have a large bowl of porridge.

Long also urged Shi to eat a lot.

After dinner, Long said gently, “Qingzhou, are you going to Song mansion?”

Shi shook his head. “No.”

“What about the action tonight? Will you participate?”

Shi fell silent.

“You want to go there, right? Song Cailian may appear and you want to catch her, don’t you?” Long said.

Shi nodded slowly. “Yes.”

“I won’t stop you,” Long said firmly, “But you have to be careful. In addition, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuang must go with you.”

Shi frowned immediately. “No, they’ll stay. Ying Feng and the other Shadow Guardians will go with me.”

“I’m worried,” Long said, “The philanderer and Song Cailian are both very good at martial arts. If only you and the Shadow Guardians go there, I won’t feel at ease.”

Shi knitted his brows and pursed his lips. “Then I won’t go.”

Long held Shi’s hand. “What?”

Shi said, “I’ll stay with you. That’s it.”

Long frowned. “Really?”

“Yes. If Song Cailian appears, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan will catch her,” Shi said calmly.

Long stared at Shi and nodded slowly. “All right...”

At night, Shi really didn’t go there, but he slept very late, as if there was something on his mind.

As for Long, it was really a long day for him, so he fell asleep soon.

Shi stayed with Long and didn’t leave...

Long really had a good sleep. When he woke up, it was already late morning and Shi was no longer beside him...

Long yawned lazily and sat up in bed...

“Qingzhou.” Long called his lover’s name first.

However, Shi did not come. The man who appeared was the Shadow Guardian, Ying Feng.

“Master.”

“Ying Feng, it’s you. Where’s Qingzhou?” Long asked.

Ying Feng said, “Master Shi went out with Liu Suifeng early in the morning.”

“Oh? Only the two of them? What about Ouyang Chuan?”

“Ouyang Chuan is staying in the mansion.”

“Where did they go?” Long asked.

Ying Feng said, “I don’t know.”

Long was a little confused, but he didn’t think much. He just said, “Alright... I’m a little hungry. Have the breakfast delivered.”

“Yes, I will do it at once.”

After Ying Feng left, Long got up from the bed and put on his clothes. He thought about why Shi and Liu went out together, but he didn’t figure it out...

Long planned to ask Ying Feng about what happened last night later. He thought that perhaps nothing had happened because Ying Feng didn’t say anything about it...
