Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 179: Just a Misunderstanding

Long and Shi were talking in the carriage and they did not deliberately lower their voices, so Ouyang heard them clearly.

Without Long in front of him, Ouyang looked much normal. He wasn’t reckless or aggressive.

Shi made the decision without hesitation, which surprised Ouyang. But Ouyang also thought it was understandable and he felt a little guilty.

Just then, someone came.

That was Doctor Liu Suifeng. He should have heard that Shi left in a hurry. He didn’t know what happened, so he went to have a look.

Ouyang turned to look at that man and the emotion in his eyes was indescribable.

Liu had an instinct that someone was staring at him and it was a person he knew. He looked in that direction and then, he was stunned.

“Brother Ouyang.”

Liu muttered that name. He couldn’t believe his eyes.

Ouyang sneered. “Don’t call me that. I don’t deserve that, you traitor.”

Liu was shocked and then fell silent.

In the carriage, Long and Shi heard the sounds outside. Then, Long took Shi’s hand and came out...

Just as they came out, they saw Ouyang rushed to Liu as fast as lightning.

“Whoa! So fast.” Long marveled.

Shi looked very cold, because he disliked Ouyang.

Liu and Ouyang had begun to fight.

Long found it dazzling and said, “Qingzhou, both of them move so fast. I can’t tell who is stronger. Can you see that?”

Shi said calmly, “Liu Suifeng is better.”

“Oh?” Shi’s words surprised Long. “They seem to be disciples from the same sect. Ouyang Chuan must be older than Liu Suiqing. Can’t Ouyang defeat him?”

“Martial arts are not about age, but about understanding. But they are both well versed in martial arts,” Shi said. Then, he made eye contact with Ying Feng and Ying Qiu.

Suddenly, Long saw two figures rush over.

That stupefied Long. “What?”

Shi said calmly, “Let’s just stand by.”

Long blinked and looked at Shi’s profile, “Qingzhou... are you getting revenge?”

After a pause, Shi looked at Long and said coldly, “No.”

Long smiled. He took Shi’s hand and rubbed Shi’s palm with his fingers.

Shi’s hand moved a bit, but he didn’t withdraw his hand from Long’s.

“Qingzhou, it was my fault. I agreed to him before talking with you first... Don’t be angry, huh?”

Shi pressed his lips together. Finally, he said slowly, “Okay.”

That meant he wouldn’t be angry? Looking at Shi like this, Long thought it was so funny.

So, Long laughed.

At the moment when Long laughed, Shi gave him a cold look.

That look was so scary that Long immediately stopped laughing.

“Humph!” Shi shook off Long’s hand and joined the fight.

Seeing that, Long touched his nose, “Alas... It seems that he’s still angry...”

The two of them didn’t think about the problem from the same perspective. Naturally, Shi would think that Long had hit his bottom line.

Long also hoped that his empress would only belong to him, but he cared more about Shi’s life!

Thinking of that, Long’s eyes flashed with worry.

Looking at Liu Suifeng who was fighting with Ouyang Chuan, Long wished that this doctor could save Shi...

The one-on-one fight turned into four-on-one. Especially after Shi joined them, Ouyang suddenly felt helpless.

At first, Ouyang was furious and fought against Liu violently.

But after some outsiders meddled in that, Ouyang couldn’t do as he wished.

With Shi’s participation, Ouyang began to suffer.

Under the cover of the two Shadow Guardians, Shi found Ouyang’s weaknesses and beat him hard.

Ouyang just felt a little pain in the beginning...

But later...

“Ouch...” Ouyang was kicked away by Shi and some blood gushed out of his mouth. It could be seen that his internal organs were injured.

Liu’s expression changed. Instinctively, he wanted to have a check, but five Shadow Guardians rushed out.

Liu was stunned and turned to look at Shi.

At this moment, Shi, Ying Feng and Ying Qiu had rushed to Ouyang.

Looking at Shi who didn’t plan to stop, Ouyang felt both furious and helpless.

“Shi Qingzhou! Don’t go too far!”

Liu thought that something must have happened. Otherwise, Shi wouldn’t be so angry. Was it because Ouyang took Long out of palace?

But if that was the reason, Shi shouldn’t be like this.

At this time, Shi sneered. “What you said is disgusting. You’re courting death. I’ll grant your wish.”

Then, Shi continued to attack Ouyang.

Shi’s words stunned Liu. Liu wondered what Ouyang said had angered Shi.

While fighting with the Shadow Guardians, Liu took a look at Long. He found that Long looked a little helpless. After a pause, he decided not to fight.

Then, Liu retreated at full speed. The Shadow Guardians just didn’t want him to disturb Shi and Ouyang.

Therefore, the Shadow Guardians stopped fighting as Liu went to Long. They just went over to protect the emperor.

Liu moved very fast. Long felt that Liu had stood in front of him in the blink of an eye.

“What did Ouyang say to make Shi Qingzhou unhappy?” Liu asked directly.

Long blinked.

Liu stared at Long. Then, Long said helplessly, “There’s a poisonous insect in Qingzhou’s body, isn’t it?”

Liu was surprised. He said, “You knew that? Ouyang Chuan told you, right?”

Long nodded. “Yes, he also told me how to get rid of the poisonous insect.”

Liu was stunned. Then, his expression slightly changed. “He told you everything?”

Liu began to think. “What is Ouyang Chuan doing? Does he want to die? How could he tell the emperor that?

Who are Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou? They are the noblest men in the nation. They have millions of troops.

Even though he can do great martial arts, the army would easily defeat him.”

Removing the poisonous insect would require all the blood in Ouyang’s body. Liu had already said that Long would kill him for his empress!

“Yes.” Long looked at Liu. “Is there any other way besides that?”

Liu looked bad and he gave a wry smile. “No.”

Disappointment appeared on Long’s face.

Liu thought that Long didn’t want Ouyang dead, so Long asked if there was any other way. Liu smiled bitterly. “That’s the only way. The insect is extremely poisonous. The patient would survive only when he takes a bath in all the blood of its first master.”

Long was stunned. “What?”

Liu found there was something wrong. Long’s expression was... Hadn’t he already known that?

Long stared at Liu and stuttered. “What did you say? How can we get rid of that poisonous insect?”

Liu was confused. “Haven’t you already known?”

Long’s lips twitched. “The way I know is different from what you said.”

Liu was shocked. Later, he said, “What did he tell you?”

Long took a look at Shi who was fighting over there and said slowly, “He said that a little blood would be needed, and... Shi would have to have sex with him.”

Liu opened his mouth in amazement.

Long pursed his lips. “It seems that I was tricked.”

Liu turned to look at Ouyang and didn’t understand why he said that.

Long said, “You just said that to remove the poisonous insect... all of Ouyang Chuan’s blood will be needed? That is to say, if he saves Shi, he will die, right? He was just deceiving me by saying that, right?”

Hearing that, Liu turned his head and felt nervous, but he still nodded. “Yes. That’s the only way to get rid of the poisonous insect. He lied to you.”

Long did not know whether he should felt relieved or not and he knitted his brows.

“Life for life. How could that be?”

Liu bowed his head and didn’t know what to say.

Long looked at Liu and said, “He seems to hate you very much.”

Liu paused and then said slowly, “Yes, he... wants to kill me.”

Long didn’t understand. “Why? Just now I heard he call you traitor... Well, can you tell me what happened?”

Liu looked at Long. “You want to know?”

After thinking for a second, Long nodded. “Yes, tell me what the problem is. Maybe there’s a way out.”

Liu didn’t say anything at once. After a long silence, he began to tell his story with Ouyang.
