Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Liu Suifeng didn’t wait long before Long Xiaoyuan came to him.

“When will Qingzhou wake up?”

Liu Suifeng replied, “It won’t be long. He will wake up before lunch.”

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “Okay, please pay a visit to Wu Xiangyuan. You’d better take two Shadow Guardians with you.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “Okay, I’m going over.”

Long Xiaoyuan said. “Be careful. Don’t fall for any traps. If Wu Xiangyuan is really a threat, you can arrest her first.”

Liu Suifeng nodded solemnly. “Okay, I got it.”

“However, if you arrest her, just put her in Imperial Prison. Don’t bring her to the palace. She is not that important.”

“I got it.” Liu Suifeng nodded and left with two Shadow Guardians.

Long Xiaoyuan pondered there for a while and then went to Imperial Study.

The documents from Northern Barbarians were officially submitted to him. Long Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and gave the answer.

“We can have the negotiation with Northern Barbarians, but their emperor has to make his presence here!”

The ministers voiced their confusion at the request, but Long Xiaoyuan did not give any explanation.

As a result, the Ministry of Rites sent out the document at the fastest speed.

Long Xiaoyuan finished reading all the documents when it was almost lunch time.

He went straight back to Qiankun Palace.

Long Xiaoyuan heard that Shi Qingzhou had just woken up when he reached Qiankun Palace.

He rushed to see Shi Qingzhou.

“Qingzhou, you’re awake.”

Shi Qingzhou sat up. “I’ve slept for a long time, right?”

“Well, it’s almost time for lunch.”

Shi Qingzhou frowned slightly. “Have I slept for so long? Where is Liu Suifeng?”

“He went to see Wu Xiangyuan.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “He’s not back yet?”

Long Xiaoyuan said, “No. He’s been out for a long time. I’ll inquire about it later.”

Shi Qingzhou yawned lazily. “I’m getting up.”

“Okay, I will wait on you.” Long Xiaoyuan smiled.

Shi Qingzhou looked at him and smiled. “All right.”

So, Long Xiaoyuan waited on him to get up.

Shi Qingzhou had a good rest and was in good spirits now.

If it weren’t for Liu Suifeng’s examination, even Shi Qingzhou wouldn’t think that there was anything wrong with him.

Shi Qingzhou didn’t eat much and just had two bowls of porridge.

He followed Liu Suifeng’s instruction to have bland diet.

Besides, he didn’t feel hungry after the herbal bath in the morning.

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t eat much either because he had something on his mind. However, he didn’t eat too little  for he didn’t want Shi Qingzhou to worry.

After finishing lunch, Long Xiaoyuan summoned a Shadow Guardian, inquiring about Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng actually encountered some problems.

After he left the palace, he went to Tianji Sect with two Shadow Guardians.

As the branch had become their headquarters, the security of the manor got tighter.

Zou Qingyuan came to meet them.

He led Liu Suifeng directly to Wu Xiangyuan.

When Liu Suifeng arrived, he found that Wu Ronghan was also there, delivering internal power to Wu Xiangyuan!

Liu Suifeng frowned, asking Zou Qingyuan, “What’s going on?”

Zou Qingyuan said, “Young Lady sometimes loses control at night. We use a lot of strength to keep her under control, but she uses up her internal strength when fighting back, so we often need to give her our internal power. This way, she can recover her strength.”

Liu Suifeng frowned more.

A short time afterwards, Wu Ronghan stopped.

Liu Suifeng looked at him and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Wu.”

Wu Ronghan quickly stood up and cupped his hands towards Liu Suifeng. “Hello, Divine Physician.”

Liu Suifeng said lightly. “I come to give Miss Wu a treatment at the order of the Emperor.”

“Doctor Liu, thank you very much.” Wu Ronghan said hurriedly, and then moved aside.

Liu Suifeng went over and carefully felt Wu Xiangyuan’s pulse.

A moment later, Liu Suifeng said. “It’s impossible to diagnose Young Lady’s disease. I need to give her a herbal bath.”

Wu Ronghan froze slightly.

Zou Qingyuan sneaked out.

A moment later, Wu Ronghan said. “Life is more important than the trifles.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “I’m glad that you don’t object. Young Lady will be unconscious throughout the treatment. We don’t need to tell her this.”

Wu Ronghan nodded earnestly.

He summoned a trusted maid and moved Wu Xiangyuan into the bathtub according to Liu Suifeng’s request.

Wu Xiangyuan was unconscious in the beginning.

However, something unexpected happened.

When Liu Suifeng examined Wu Xiangyuan and pushed needles on her, she suddenly opened her eyes and went crazy.

Liu Suifeng inevitably touched her during the fighting, which depressed him a little.

They made some painstaking efforts to calm her down.

Liu Suifeng found that Wu Xiangyuan might have been hit by the same venomous insect as Shi Qingzhou!

Therefore, he decided to take her away.

He encountered some obstacles.

Wu Ronghan didn’t want his daughter to be taken away.

Liu Suifeng said indifferently.

“It’s the Emperor’s order.”

Wu Ronghan begged to give Wu Xiangyuan the treatment in the manor.

Liu Suifeng refused.

The maid who helped with the herbal bath just now claimed that Liu Suifeng should assume his responsibility for seeing the young lady naked, and even if he did not take the responsibility, he should show his mercy.

Irritated, Liu Suifeng sneered. “In that case, I don’t dare to treat this female patient anymore.”

Wu Ronghan was angered, slapping the maid away.

Finally, Liu Suifeng said coldly. “Mr. Wu, if you are worried about your daughter, you can follow her to the Imperial Prison.”

Wu Ronghan somehow agreed to that!

In the end, the two Shadow Guardians took Wu Ronghan and his daughter directly to the prison.

After he had arranged everything, Liu Suifeng went back to the imperial palace in the afternoon.

When he heard that Long Xiaoyuan was looking for him, Liu Suifeng went over without having lunch.

“Are you looking for me?”

“I heard you put Wu Ronghan in prison as well?” Long Xiaoyuan looked at Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng pursed his lips, “Yeah. The father couldn’t part with the daughter, and I did not have the heart to separate them.”

Long Xiaoyuan fell silent for a short while and then said, “Are they in the Imperial Prison?”

“Yes.” Liu Suifeng nodded.

Long Xiaoyuan asked again, “What’s wrong with Wu Xiangyuan?”

Liu Suifeng got serious. “I think it is similar to the venomous insect in Shi Qingzhou’s body. Even if it is not the same, it is very similar.”

Long Xiaoyuan turned serious when he heard this. “Similar to that in Qingzhou’s body?”

“Yes, similar,” Liu Suifeng said, “so I plan to make a research on Wu Xiangyuan.”

Long Xiaoyuan pondered and nodded. “Okay. But it is inconvenient if Wu Xiangyuan stays in the Imperial Prison, isn’t it?”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “It is indeed inconvenient in the Imperial Prison, but if we move her to the dungeon of the palace, it will be fine.”

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “Then move her to the dungeon of Yuchang Hall.”

“Okay.” Liu Suifeng nodded. “Get Shadow Guardians to move her over. I’ll go have lunch first. By the way, I might need Madam Zhou Huan’s help.”
