Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Long Xiaoyuan felt he had slept for a long time.

During this period, he woke up in a daze.

In the daze, he heard many people speak.

There were Liu Suifeng, Shi Qingzhou, Shadow Guardians and Ouyang Chuan, but he couldn’t remember what they had said.

Long Xiaoyuan felt very tired, unprecedentedly tired. He wanted to sleep on.

Just like that, Long Xiaoyuan went back to sleep.

Another night, Shi Qingzhou stood in front of Long Xiaoyuan’s bed.

They were in the Yamen of Ronghua City.

It had been six days since Long Xiaoyuan was brought back.

Long Xiaoyuan had been unconscious during these days.

Liu Suifeng said that normally he should be awake by now.

He didn’t wake up because of his own reason.

During this period, Ouyang Chuan had come to visit twice, but Shi Qingzhou wouldn’t let him see Long Xiaoyuan.

“Your Highness.” Ying Qiu said outside the door.

Ying Qiu had almost recovered from his injury after several days of treatment and rest.

Shi Qingzhou said lightly, “Come in.”

Ying Qiu entered and reported, “There are traces of King of Three at the border.”

Shi Qingzhou’s eyes flashed. “Really?”

Shi Qingzhou replied and walked outside.

Long Xiaoyuan faintly heard the word ‘King of Three’ in his sleep. His eyes trembled, and he wanted to wake up.

However, his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn’t open his eyes.

He felt Shi Qingzhou went out for a while and came back again.

However, he felt that Shi Qingzhou had changed after he came back.

Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t name exactly what was different.

A moment later, Long Xiaoyuan felt his hand was held.

He heard Shi Qingzhou’s voice.

“There is news of King of Three at the border, I will set off soon. I will avenge you. I will make him beg for death.”

Shi Qingzhou’s voice was very calm, but this kind of extreme calmness frightened Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan wanted to speak, but his heavy eyelids and tongue stopped him.

Shi Qingzhou was holding Long Xiaoyuan’s hand.

“I will leave a lot of people behind. You don’t have to worry about your safety.”

‘I don’t want to be left behind!’ Long Xiaoyuan said inwardly.

However, his thoughts were not captured by Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou continued, “I hope you’re awake when I come back. Long Xiaoyuan…”

Shi Qingzhou suddenly fell silent for a long time.

Long Xiaoyuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

This feeling of silence should not belong to Shi Qingzhou.

Long Xiaoyuan felt inexplicably distressed.

After a long silence, Long Xiaoyuan felt his palms being held again.

Shi Qingzhou stooped and kissed Long Xiaoyuan’s lips.

“Wait for me to come back.”

He said in depression.

Long Xiaoyuan tried hard to open his eyes in vain.

He felt Shi Qingzhou put down his hand and got up, leaving…

Long Xiaoyuan tried hard to wake up, but he always failed. He was anxious. He did not want Shi Qingzhou to go.

He wanted to say that things came out all right.

Ouyang Chuan was fine, and he was not dead. It was good enough.

However, he couldn’t say anything.

The darkness came, and Long Xiaoyuan lost consciousness again.

Shi Qingzhou and Ouyang Chuan set off overnight, and Liu Suifeng stayed behind to take care of Long Xiaoyuan.

Actually, Liu Suifeng didn’t want Ouyang Chuan to go with Shi Qingzhou.

He was afraid that Shi Qingzhou would attack Ouyang Chuan when he was not around. He felt that Shi Qingzhou had lost his mind.

Shi Qingzhou sometimes scared him.

Therefore, he didn’t want Ouyang Chuan to go with Shi Qingzhou.

However, Ouyang Chuan insisted to go.

In the end, Liu Suifeng gave up, but he was worried.

The night after Shi Qingzhou left, Long Xiaoyuan finally woke up.

Ever since Shi Qingzhou left, Liu Suifeng had been by Long Xiaoyuan’s side.

He knew the slightest movement that Long Xiaoyuan made.

At first, Long Xiaoyuan had not fully woken up. Liu Suifeng used the silver needle to prick Long Xiaoyuan’s fingers twice to wake him up. When Long Xiaoyuan opened his eyes, he felt like he had never seen the world in his life.

“Long Xiaoyuan, you’re awake,” Liu Suifeng said happily.

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “Yes.” Long Xiaoyuan’s voice was hoarse because he had slept for many days.

Besides, his throat was dry.

Liu Suifeng seemed to know that and quickly brought a cup of warm water.

Then Liu Suifeng helped Long Xiaoyuan up and fed him water.

Liu Suifeng asked after Long Xiaoyuan drained it. “Do you like to have another cup?”

Long Xiaoyuan nodded.

Thus, Liu Suifeng went to pour another cup.

After drinking the second cup of water, Long Xiaoyuan felt much better, and his throat was soothed.

Liu Suifeng said. “I checked on you many times. You’re fine. Are you feeling unwell now?”

Long Xiaoyuan felt it and said. “I’m good. I feel sore all over.”

“I’ll give you some internal power to help you relieve it.”

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t refuse, nodding.

Liu Suifeng gave Long Xiaoyuan internal power to help him alleviate the pain.

A moment later, Liu Suifeng stopped.

“How are you feeling now?” asked Liu Suifeng.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded. “Not bad. I feel great.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “That’s good.”

Long Xiaoyuan said, “Qingzhou and Ouyang Chuan went to look for King of Three, right?”

Liu Suifeng paused. “How do you know?”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly. “Actually, I’ve been conscious these days, but I couldn’t open my eyes.”

Liu Suifeng was taken aback. “You know about all this?”

“Yeah, but I felt tired, so I couldn’t open my eyes.”

Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly. “I see.” Long Xiaoyuan sighed helplessly. “I wanted to wake up early, but I never made it.”

Liu Suifeng said softly. “What do you plan to do now?”

Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and said, “You say I’m fine?”

Liu Suifeng frowned. “Although there isn’t a big problem with your body, it’s a fact that you’re injured. You have to take a good rest. You can’t travel.”

Long Xiaoyuan blinked. “Is there any other way?”

Liu Suifeng shook his head with certainty. “You have to rest for at least three days. I’ll give you treatments.”

Liu Suifeng insisted, so Long Xiaoyuan had to agree.

Three days had been too long.

In these three days, Liu Suifeng forbad Long Xiaoyuan to go out of his room, and he almost put him under house arrest.
