Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 228: Qingzhou, I Was Wrong (II)

“You...” Ouyang trembled with anger. “Why don’t you ask Shi Qingzhou to do that?”

“Qingzhou is the empress. How could I put him in danger?” Long said seriously.

“You...”

Long grinned again. “It’s entirely up to you. Someone must be the bait and I prefer Liu Suifeng. Ouyang Chuan, if you’re really unhappy about it, you can do it yourself. I’m fine with that. Anyways, one of you must do it! Otherwise, the philanderer will not be arrested! This is... an imperial edict!”

“You... You...” Ouyang was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword to fight Long. At this time, Liu, who was standing behind Ouyang, held his hand and stopped him.

“Okay, we’ll go back and discuss it.” With that, Liu took Ouyang away.

“What are you doing? Don’t drag me! He went too far!” Ouyang exclaimed angrily.

Liu said in a soft voice, “Calm down, Brother Ouyang. Let’s go back first.”

Ouyang was pulled away by Liu, although he was still furious...

Long was very happy because he thought his idea was brilliant.

However, after joy always came sadness. Long soon found out that his empress seemed unhappy.

“Well... Qingzhou, what’s wrong with you? You are unhappy?” Long got close to Shi with doubts.

Shi said coldly, “Why would I?”

Long blinked. He didn’t know what he did wrong, but it was clear that Shi was angry.

Shi rose from his chair indifferently and Long hurriedly followed him.

“Where are you going, Qingzhou?”

“I’ll go to see some beauties. Do you want to join me?” Shi smiled, but that smile... was a little sinister and scary.

“Beauties?” Long blinked.

“Yes,” Shi said coldly, “I want to see if there is anyone more beautiful than your man, Liu Suifeng.”

Shi’s words startled Long. “When did Liu Suifeng become my man?”

“Isn’t he yours?” Shi sneered. “I think you’re very interested in him.”

“No! Of course not! Qingzhou, why do you think so?” Long immediately realized that he had gone too far earlier. He never expected that his empress would get jealous!

Long had no choice but to reap the fruits of his actions.

“Why are you holding my hand?” Shi looked at his hand that was being held by Long. “You should go to stay with your beauty.”

“Qingzhou...” Long was about to cry. “There’s no beauty around me...”

“Oh, so I’m ugly.” Shi looked worse. “Yes, compared to that beauty, I’m really ugly.”

Hearing that, Long said in a loud voice, “No! You’re the most beautiful person in the world!”

Shi sneered.

He turned around and left. He ran so fast that Long even couldn’t catch up!

Shi’s behavior stunned Long. A moment later, he began to chase Shi. “Qingzhou! Where are you going? Wait for me!”

Long shouted loudly, but Shi still didn’t stop.

The two of them ran in the courtyard and soon Long lost sight of Shi.

The corners of Long’s mouth twitched. He said helplessly, “Ying Feng.”

Ying Feng appeared at once. “Master.”

Long didn’t know whether it was his illusion or not, but he felt... Ying Feng... was smiling!

Long looked at Ying Feng sadly. “Ying Feng, are you smiling?”

Ying Feng said seriously, “No, I’m not, master!”

“Really?” Long narrowed his eyes.

“Yes, master.”

Long snorted contemptuously. “Humph, just laugh if you want. I won’t punish you.”

“Haha...” Ying Feng burst into laughter.

Long’s face darkened.

Ying Feng hurriedly said, “Sorry, master, I... failed to control myself.”

Long was angry. “Go to find Qingzhou for me!”

“Yes, I’ll do it at once.” Ying Feng left.

Soon, Ying Feng appeared again. “Master, Master Shi is in the pavilion in the backyard.”

Long immediately turned around and went to the pavilion.

A moment later, Long saw the man he loved.

He quickly walked over. Shi saw him coming, but he looked very indifferent.

With a flute in his hand, Shi was sitting on the bench gracefully. When Long approached, he began to play the flute.

Long didn’t know that his empress would be able to do that!

And it seemed that he was quite an expert!

Long was fascinated by the melody. He couldn’t help thinking that his empress was really an elegant and accomplished person!

At last, Shi put down his flute and left even without taking a look at Long.

“Hey!” Long rushed up and threw his arms around Shi’s waist. “Qingzhou, I was wrong. I was really wrong... Don’t leave me... I apologize...”

Shi turned his head. “Oh? You said you were wrong? What did you do wrong?”

“I did everything wrong!” Long said firmly, “Qingzhou, you can punish me any way you want, but don’t ignore me! I’ll be very sad if you leave me!” Long wailed.

Shi curled his lips. “Your beauty will comfort you when you are sad.”

Long felt so helpless. “Qingzhou, I just said that for fun... Don’t you know what I’m thinking? I’m not interested in any beauty! All I see is you!”

Long said resolutely.

Shi gave him a cold look and curled his lips. All right... Shi decided to forgive this poor man...
