Chapter 165: This Woman Was Really… (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Zhang Yuan came soon and Shi asked him about their progress.

After Zhang gave a detailed report, Shi asked him to follow Doctor Liu and see if he needed any help.

Then, Zhang left obediently.

Looking at Zhang’s back, Long sighed.

“I feel that Zhang Yuan has become like a child after meeting that eccentric doctor.”

Shi nodded and said, “I also think so.”

Long smiled. He sighed again and then held Shi’s hand.

“Don’t worry about that now. Qingzhou, let’s have breakfast first.”

“Yes.” Shi nodded, allowing Long to take him to the dining table.

Although Long told Shi not to worry, this matter still affected their appetite for breakfast.

Neither Long nor Shi ate much.

Long didn’t try to persuade Shi to eat more. He just said, “If you are hungry later, you can eat some snacks.”

“Yes.” Shi smiled and agreed.

After breakfast, Long went to the imperial study to deal with state affairs. The reason why he didn’t stay at Qiankun Palace was that he also called several other ministers to talk about the affairs about the border and Eastern Darkness. It would be more convenient in the imperial study.

Therefore, after breakfast, Long went directly to the imperial study.

Shi practiced sword all morning in the yard. When it was almost lunch time, there came a message from Tianji Sect.

Looking at the words, Shi frowned.

Zou Qingyuan had gone to the south. It seemed that something really happened there.

It was Wu Xiangyuan who sent the message.

Wu Xiangyuan… This woman didn’t leave a lasting impression on Shi.

Most importantly, Long didn’t like her and was even jealous of her.

However, this woman said that she wouldn’t tell him some details until she saw him.

Coldness flickered in Shi’s eyes. Then, he let a long breath out.

“Is His Majesty still in the imperial study?” Shi asked a maid.

“Yes, Your Grace.”

Shi slowly lowered his head and said coldly, “I’m going out for some business. If His Majesty asks later, just tell him that I go out. I’ll tell them everything after I come back.”

“Yes, Your Grace.”

Shi nodded and then went back to Qiankun Palace to change clothes…

Long worked hard and finally finished all the memorials in the imperial study.

After sending all the ministers away, he went to Qiankun Palace and wanted to have lunch with his empress. However, he was told that his empress had gone out of the palace!

Feeling very disappointed, Long frowned.

“Do you know why the empress went out?”

The maid said, “The empress said that he would tell you when he came back.”

Long pursed his lips and waved.

“Okay, I see. You may leave.”

“Yes.” The maid didn’t dare to stay longer and hurriedly left.

Later, Long had to order his servants to deliver food. Then, he began to have lunch alone.

Without his lover around, Long really didn’t feel good.

He felt full after eating just a little.

After lunch, Long felt a little uneasy somehow.

He thought of Shi. He wondered what Shi was doing outside…

Since he had finished this day’s work, Long decided to go out of the palace to find his empress!

Long had always been a resolute man who would do what he wanted to do.

So, after making the decision, Long changed his clothes and went out.

Under the guidance of the Shadow Guardians, it was not hard for Long to go out. He also went out from the secret passage.

When they got outside, Long asked the Shadow Guardians where Shi was.

However, except for the several Shadow Guardians that followed Shi, Shi didn’t tell anyone else where he went. So, other Shadow Guardians really didn’t know that before they went to investigate or contact other people.

Long wasn’t sure what Shi was doing and he didn’t want to make trouble for him.

So, instead of asking the Shadow Guardians to contact the others, Long said, “Ying Feng, where do you think Qingzhou is?”

“Maybe he went to the mansion or Tianji Sect, which are the most likely places,” Ying Feng said.

Long trusted Ying Feng. Ying Qiu worked for Shi, but in that novel, it was the emperor whom Ying Feng had always been loyal to.

However, that novel could no longer be used for reference. Otherwise, how should he explain what happened to Zhou Qing?

Thinking of the eunuch who had served him for a long time, Long still felt a little upset.

Most of all, Zhou was actually just a pawn. After being exposed, he was abandoned by those people.

If all of this was arranged by the people of Eastern Darkness, it could only be said that Eastern Darkness was so powerful!

Long stopped thinking about this. Between the two places Ying Feng said, Long chose to go to Tianji Sect.

Why would he go there? Obviously, it was because of the woman that made him feel threatened!

Wu Xiangyuan… Long did not forget that in the novel, this woman became Shi’s concubine!

There shouldn’t be any problem in the mansion and Zhou Yu’er was under the control of the Shadow Guardians. However, something serious might happen in Tianji Sect!

So, after thinking about it carefully, Long decided to go there.

Led by the Shadow Guardians, Long arrived at the building of Tianji Sect soon.

The gatekeepers had met Long before. Long said that he wanted to meet Zou Qingyuan, but one gatekeeper said, “Our guardian has left, but Miss Wu is here.”

“What?” Long immediately raised his eyebrows. “Your guardian has left? Is Mr. Shi here? We came here together last time.”

One gatekeeper said, “Yes, Mr. Shi is talking with Miss Wu.”

“Oh?” Long raised his eyebrows higher and became a little angry.

“Really? I’ll go meet them.”

While saying that, Long stepped inside.

The two gatekeepers didn’t follow him, but a servant came soon.

“Take me to your lady,” Long said coldly.

“Yes, please come with me.” The servant led the way, without being servile or bumptious.

Long squinted at the young man who was in front of him and became furious at the thought that Shi had come out alone to date a woman!

Long felt angry, but he didn’t lose his marbles.

He knew that his empress would not betray him.

In spite of that, he was still filled with anger!
