Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 170: The Injury on His Face

Although Shi didn’t like Liu Suifeng’s character, he had trust in the doctor’s ability.

Since the doctor said that the poisonous insect could be controlled for a month, Shi would rest assured for now.

When Shi returned to the imperial palace, he didn’t go back to Qiankun Palace at once. He… didn’t know how to face Long.

One month was not a long time, but he… needed to make some decision.

If all the enemies were in the nation, he could do a lot more.

But at present, he could only defend against them passively.

No, maybe, there were other ways…

Shi looked very serious. He must think of other ways. Otherwise, no one would end up well!

Shi pressed his lips together and his eyes flashed with coldness.

After a while, Shi restored calm and returned to his bedroom in Qiankun Palace.

Doctor Liu said that he had better control his emotions, so Shi didn’t dare to get too emotional.

In the bedroom, Shi saw the man who was sleeping as a log and his expression softened.

Every time he looked at this person, his soft heart would be touched…

Shi went to bed and lay down beside Long.

Then, Shi hit Long’s acupoints to make him return to normal.

Long turned over and Shi immediately looked at him.

However, Long didn’t wake up at all.

Shi did not know whether he should feel relieved or something else.

After watching Long’s profile for a long time, Shi closed his eyes…

The next day, when Long woke up, he felt something was not right.

It seemed that something happened last night, but he couldn’t explain it clearly.

He just had the feeling that… something was wrong.

Looking at Shi who was next to him, Long knew what was wrong.

Although Shi’s clothes and sleeping posture looked quite normal, there was blood on his lips!

Last night, his empress didn’t allow him to touch him. Although they kissed, they didn’t do it so passionately. Long didn’t think he bit Shi’s lips!

But… why did his lips bleed?

Shi was to blame for this, because he had completely forgotten about this!

He forgot about the injury on his lips when he came back last night and he still hadn’t woken up because he slept too late!

Long stared at Shi’s lips and didn’t think that the injury was caused by a woman. No woman would be so cruel!

Wait! His empress would never allow a woman to kiss him!

If it was not made by a woman, then a man did that?

That was even more impossible! Long’s face darkened. No matter what, he didn’t believe that his empress would do such a thing with another man. He just didn’t believe it!

Long thought about it in anger. Looking at the injury on Shi’s lips, he became angry.

So, Long leaned over and kissed him fiercely…

Long was so rude, so Shi woke up immediately.

“Ouch.” The pain on the lips made Shi slightly groan.

Long did not stop. He stuck his tongue into Shi’s mouth and deepened the kiss.

Shi was shocked and became sober.

When Long was trying to take off Shi’s clothes and touch his body, Shi thought of Liu Suifeng’s warning, so he hurriedly stopped Long.

Long stopped with his eyes red. “Qingzhou…”

Shi’s lips twitched, but he insisted, “No way.”

“Why can’t I?” Long questioned him discontentedly.

Shi gritted his teeth and lied to Long, “When I went out last time, I took some medicine from Doctor Liu in case of accident. That medicine can prevent me from being poisoned, but it has strong efficacy. Doctor Liu warned me that we can’t have sex for a month. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“What?” Long was shocked. “A month?”

Shi nodded. “Yes, a month.”

Long’s lips twitched. “This is revenge! This is absolutely revenge!”

Shi smiled wryly and said, “Well, it may be revenge, but I was in a hurry at that time, so I just took it.”

Long’s lips twitched again and his eyes were filled with sadness. “Qingzhou, what happened to your lips?”

Shi was stunned. He touched his mouth and the pain reminded him of what happened at the pool last night. So, Shi said, “Last night, I went to ask him for the antidote while you were sleeping. He gave it to me, but the antidote had side effects. It was so painful that I bit my lips.”

“Huh? So the poison has been removed?” Long was confused.

Shi smiled wryly. “No.”

“What? Didn’t you say you went to ask for the antidote?”

“We had a bet before I took the antidote. I bet that I could bear the sharp pain in my body, while he said that I would at least bite my lips. At last, he won.”

Long’s face darkened. “So he didn’t give you the real antidote?”

Shi blinked. “No, he didn’t.”

Shi really spared no effort to set up Liu Suifeng and he took it for granted.

As a result, Long totally believed him!

After Long left Qiankun Palace, the first thing he did was to take revenge on Liu Suifeng!

When Long arrived, Doctor Liu just got up. Long broke in directly!

“Liu Suifeng!” Zhang Yuan told Long the doctor’s full name, but Long usually called him Doctor Liu. It was the first time that Long called him by his full name!

“Oh?” Seeing that Long came in a very threatening manner, Doctor Liu was confused. He didn’t understand why Long behaved like that.

Long stood in front of Doctor Liu and said angrily, “What did you do to Qingzhou?”

Doctor Liu was stunned. He narrowed his eyes, wondering how much Long had known.

However, no matter how much Long had known, Doctor Liu thought that he was the one who had saved Shi. The poisonous insect in Shi’s body had nothing to do with him. So, Long shouldn’t have come here and talked to him so angrily.

In addition, although Long appeared angry, there wasn’t real anger in his eyes.

In Doctor Liu’s opinion… Long came here just to find fault with him.

Indeed, Doctor Liu had an incredibly sharp mind. He had grasped the current situation in such a short time.

Then, Doctor Liu began to smile as he always did.

He said, “Your Majesty, why are you so angry? Did I do anything wrong?”

“How dare you!” Long was very angry. “Qingzhou just wanted the antidote, but you took the opportunity and hurt him. Humph, you’re so bold!”

“Oh? I hurt him…” Doctor Liu blinked and vaguely figured out what Shi had said to Long.

It turned out that the emperor came to take revenge…

“Doctor Liu, you hurt my Qingzhou. You don’t deserve to be a doctor. Humph! Today, I will fight you!”

“Fight?” Doctor Liu was stunned again. He looked at Long and said, “Are you sure? You want to fight me?”

“Yes.” Long sneered. “But I’m the emperor. I can’t do it by myself. My Shadow Guardians will fight you.”

While saying that, Long clapped his hands and fifty Shadow Guardians appeared in the courtyard.

They were all barehanded.

“Although it’s a fight, you’ve done a lot of work and it’ll be bad if you’re severely injured. So they won’t use weapons. Doctor Liu, you don’t have to thank me.”

Doctor Liu’s lips twitched. He had only one word to describe the emperor: shameless.

However, this shameless man… was really to his liking… Therefore, Doctor Liu smiled more brightly and said, “All right. Your Majesty, since you want so many Shadow Guardians to fight against me… I’ll accept the challenge.”

Long’s eyes brightened. He knew that Doctor Liu was a great martial artist, but he didn’t think that all the fifty Shadow Guardians would still lose to him!

Soon, the fight started. Long stood by and watched his Shadow Guardians surround Doctor Liu.

Before they came, Long had given orders that they didn’t need to kill Doctor Liu, but they could do anything to beat him. Any trick could be used.

The Shadow Guardians understood and they tried their best to beat Doctor Liu!

Doctor Liu soon realized that and he felt a little helpless.

The Shadow Guardians were all barehanded, but they were really experts at martial arts.

Therefore, even though Doctor Liu was a good martial artist, he was heavily outnumbered and beaten badly by them.

When the fifty Shadow Guardians stopped, Doctor Liu’s face had become swollen.

It was because Long had instructed the Shadow Guardians earlier to try to punch that doctor on the face!

“Hahaha…” Looking at Doctor Liu’s face, Long laughed happily.

Doctor Liu’s lips twitched.

After Long waved back the Shadow Guardians, he walked to Doctor Liu and said with a smile, “Whoa, who is this? I can barely recognize you!”

Doctor Liu didn’t say anything.

He really wanted to say, “Your Majesty, you are so childish!”

Doctor Liu didn’t get the chance to say it out loud, because Long had patted him on the shoulder.

“I won’t disturb you. Please have a good rest. Goodbye.”

Doctor Liu became speechless.

After Long left, Doctor Liu sighed and went back to his room.

The injury on his face wasn’t a big problem. With some medicine… it would be cured in just half a day.

However, he’d better not see anyone during this period…
