Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

How did Lian buy the two eunuchs over?

How could he happen to hear what the two eunuchs were talking about?

Later, there were those rumors… Somehow, the first person Shi thought of was Lian.

Therefore, Shi asked the Shadow Guardians to gather all the information about him.

After a lot of analysis, Shi found that Lian would do something mysterious occasionally.

So far, the mysterious man who bribed the beheaded thirty people had not been found.

Shi thought there was something strange about Lian, so he planned to do something this time.

The two eunuchs had been interrogated, but their answers were quite reasonable.

However, Lian shouldn’t be so familiar with the imperial palace, which was the biggest problem!

Shi didn’t have any romantic feelings for Lian, so he was extremely rational.

But even if Shi liked him, he wouldn’t do anything stupid.

In fact, Lian was of little importance in Shi’s heart!

Lian was just a general that Shi met when he was young and there was nothing between them.

In fact, Lian had also caused a lot of trouble for Shi…

“To be a swordsman for one day, travelling with the sword and the wine…” Long felt really jealous. “Qingzhou, have you really liked him?”

Shi shook his head. “No. Before we were together, I never liked men. When you forced me to marry you, I still didn’t like men. I just had no other choice. Until recently…”

Long pursed his lips. “Qingzhou, do you hate me that I’ve broken your wings?”

Shi took a look at him. “I think I’ve answered this question before.”

Long suddenly hugged Shi. “But I want to listen to your answer again.”

Shi sighed softly. “I don’t hate you and I never hated you. What’s more… we’re now deep in love and everything is perfect. Why would I hate you?”

“Qingzhou… you never promised me anything.” Long sounded very sad.

“Well,” Shi said, “That’s because we’re always staying together.”

“Qingzhou, so you promised that to him because you can’t be with him all the time?”

Shi sighed. “No, you think too much. In fact, we were just drinking together at that time. You know there were a lot of restrictions in the army. We happened to talk about the martial arts world and swordsmen, so we made such a promise. We just planned to go out and have fun together for a day when we had a holiday…”

Shi stopped speaking, because Long’s face had already darkened.

“You’re still denying your love for him?”

Shi frowned. “I really don’t love him.”

Long turned away. “I don’t believe you.”

Shi was helpless. “What can I do to make you believe me?”

Long snorted angrily. “I don’t know. Don’t ask me. I’m going to rest.”

With that, Long turned around and walked to the bedroom.

Shi frowned and then followed. “Stop messing around. I told you there’s nothing between us…”

“Who’s messing around here?” Long suddenly turned his head. “Why didn’t you tell me about it earlier?”

“What?”

“He contacted you long ago, but you didn’t tell me,” Long said.

Shi pursed his lips. “I became suspicious of him, so I asked the Shadow Guardians to investigate him.”

“You can also do it after you tell me.”

Shi stopped talking.

“Look, you have a guilty conscience,” Long said.

The corners of Shi’s mouth twitched. “Why would I feel guilty?”

“You really feel guilty! It’s obvious!” Long said loudly.

Shi frowned. “Stop being so unreasonable, Long Xiaoyuan.”

“You… you…” Long pointed at him with trembling fingers. “How dare you say I’m unreasonable?!”

“Am I wrong?” Shi said, “I’ve already said I have nothing to do with him.”

Long snorted. “No matter what, you can’t say that I’m unreasonable! I’m very reasonable. Can’t you allow me to be jealous and unhappy?”

Shi blinked. “You’re… jealous… and unhappy…”

“Of course I am.” Long glared at Shi and sneered. “If I go to sleep with a woman, won’t you be jealous and upset?”

“I dare you!” Shi immediately became angry.

Long curled his lips. “That’s just an example. You see, you also feel jealous and upset, right?”

Shi took a deep breath. “That’s not the same thing.”

Long blinked. “Why isn’t it the same? I think it’s the same.”

“You…” Shi shivered in anger. “It definitely isn’t the same! Have I ever slept with him?”

Long blurted out, “You just didn’t have the chance.”

“You…” Shi’s face darkened.

Long regretted it at once, knowing that he had said something wrong. When he was about to apologize, Shi turned around and left.

Long didn’t expect it. “Ah, Qingzhou…”

Shi ignored him and left quickly.

He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to restrain his anger if he stayed there…

Long Xiaoyuan! Damn Long Xiaoyuan!

Long chased him, but Shi walked very fast and Long didn’t catch up.

Finally, he sighed and muttered, “I didn’t mean it… When a man is jealous… he’ll speak without any consideration… It’s understandable. Damn it! Why did I have to say that?”

Although Long regretted having said that, he still couldn’t let go of the matter.

Instead of continuing to chase Shi, he stopped at last…

At this moment, all Long wanted was to chop Lian Qingyang into pieces, but… it was obviously not the right time.

Finally, Long let out a long sigh, thinking about when his empress would come back…

Unexpectedly, he kept waiting for a whole night!
