Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 227: Qingzhou, I Was Wrong (I)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

When Long almost finished his breakfast, he finally saw Shi coming back.

Long’s eyes brightened. “Qingzhou!”

Shi went in. “You’re having breakfast.”

“Yes. This is for you.” Long pointed to one side.

Shi nodded and sat down beside Long.

Long didn’t ask Shi where he went and what he did with Liu earlier. Long planned to talk about that after breakfast.

So, Long just watched Shi eating after he was full.

Shi seemed to have got used to it.

Shi continued to eat leisurely. After he finished, Long kindly handed over a handkerchief for Shi to wipe his mouth.

After a glance, Shi took it over.

Long then asked, “Qingzhou, why did you go out with Liu Suifeng so early in the morning? What have you done?”

“Well?” Shi turned to look at Long. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m just curious, so I want to ask,” Long said.

Shi said, “We went to buy several kinds of medical herbs.”

“Huh?” Long was stunned. He didn’t expect that, so he asked, “What herbs?”

“Just some common medical herbs and some poisons that may be used later.” Shi did not hide it from Long.

“Oh?” Long was a little surprised. “You needed to buy it yourself?”

Shi smiled. “I just want to learn more. Liu Suifeng can’t be with us all the time, can he?”

That was true, so Long nodded. “Okay. What happened last night?”

“You didn’t ask Ying Feng?” Shi said.

“No.” Long shook his head. “I asked where you went, but I didn’t ask about yesterday.”

“The philanderer and Song Cailian didn’t show up. Everything else went well.”

“Well... It met my expectations. How many days will it take to eliminate all the people on the list?”

“Two or three days,” Shi answered.

Long touched his chin. “What if Song Cailian still doesn’t show up at that time?”

“Our people are searching the whole place for her. I guess that she is still in the city,” Shi said slowly, “Let’s see whether we can find her or not.”

“Well...” Long blinked. “That woman is very skilled in martial arts. It’s hard for the guards to catch her, right?”

“Yes, so we need to think about other ways. If we can find the philanderer first, maybe Song Cailian will also appear,” Shi said honestly.

“That philanderer...” Long blinked again. Then, he said slowly, “That philanderer hasn’t taken action for a long time, right?”

Hearing Long’s words, Shi raised his eyebrows. “Well, what do you mean by saying that?”

“That philanderer set the Song mansion on fire. He should have done that to give Song Cailian some warning. I don’t think that he has expected that woman to be wanted. In this case, he should be very happy. Don’t you think so?”

Shi did not speak.

Long said with a smile, “If he is in a good mood... he’ll act when he sees a beauty, right?”

Shi said calmly, “You want to lure him? Where can you find a beauty?”

“It’s so easy. We have someone here.” Long laughed exaggeratedly.

Shi raised his eyebrows and said slowly, “Oh? Who is that?”

“Liu Suifeng!” Long said firmly.

Just after he said that, Liu and Ouyang came to them.

Liu heard his name outside, so he asked right after he entered the room, “Why are you talking about me?”

“Haha...” Long laughed sinisterly.

Liu raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt that they were plotting something.

It also made Ouyang’s hair stand on end. Somehow, he had a presentiment of disaster.

“What are you laughing at?” Liu asked calmly.

Long laughed evilly, “Beauty, do me a favor.”

Seeing Long behave like a playboy, the other three people all felt very awkward. Long didn’t notice that his words had already made his empress unhappy and he was still enjoying flirting with Liu.

Long stood up from the chair and walked to Liu. Then, he touched his chin and looked at Liu’s face carefully. “Tut. Good, so good. You’re so beautiful.”

Anger had filled Ouyang’s eyes.

Liu narrowed his eyes. He was also a little angry, but when he saw how cold Shi looked, he began to gloat over Long’s ignorance.

While praising Liu for his beauty, Long almost reached out to touch Liu’s body.

Liu was fine with that, but Ouyang got furious.

“What are you doing?” Ouyang pulled Liu behind him. “Go to flirt with your own lover. Why are you staring at my man?”

My man! He said “my man”! The corners of Liu’s lips curved up.

Long blinked. “I know he is your man. Don’t worry. I’m just enjoying his pretty face... Besides, I want to ask this beauty to do me a favor.”

“What can he do for you?” Ouyang frowned.

Long laughed. “To attract the philanderer. What do you think?”

Ouyang’s face darkened at once. “No way! Why don’t you do it by yourself?”

Long looked at himself. “I think... compared with me, Liu Suifeng has a more attractive face!”

“No way!” Ouyang objected loudly. “Suifeng will never do such a thing!”

“I don’t need your permission.” Long wouldn’t give up so easily. He went directly to Liu, who was standing behind Ouyang.

“Liu Suifeng, just do it, okay?”

Liu did not speak.

“No!” Ouyang yelled.

“Alright. If you don’t want him to do it, you can come by yourself. Anyway, you’re also good-looking.”
