Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler Chapter 368 – Really Enjoying It

368. Really Enjoying It

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The prisoners had been poisoned and the results wouldn’t be known until three days later.

Therefore, Fang and Huhe didn’t stay long in the secret room before leaving.

After saying goodbye to Huhe, Fang returned to the mansion with Shi and Long.

Long immediately summoned a Shadow Guardian and carefully took some powder out of the pack. Then, he asked the Shadow Guardian to take it away.

As for the rest, it needed to be given to Emperor Zhou.

It was likely that Emperor Zhou would ask the imperial doctors to study it.

Therefore, Fang would have to enter the palace and give the pack of powder to the emperor later.

After the Shadow Guardian set off, Fang tidied up everything and went to the palace.

Later, Long said coldly, “Northern Barbarians is really making a lot of effort this time. However, since their crown prince has been sent here, he won’t be able to go back without paying a painful price!”

Would the crown prince be killed? It wasn’t a good idea. If their crown prince was dead, Northern Barbarians would only fight back frantically.

Instead, if he could be controlled with the poison… that would be better.

Long’s eyes sparkled while he was thinking about the possibility.

Shi also said, “Right. We can’t make they think that we’re a pushover.”

Long held Shi’s hand.

“Qingzhou, what do you think we should do to the crown prince who came to us by himself?”

Shi took a look at Long and said, “We just eliminated a crown prince. I didn’t expect that we’d have to deal with another one so soon.”

Long blinked his eyes. “That’s right, Qingzhou.”

Shi smiled faintly. “No matter who he is, we can just destroy him. There’s no need to think so much.”

Looking at how imperious Shi was, Long’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that the man in front of him was so charming that he couldn’t take his eyes off him!

So he couldn’t help but kiss Shi.

Shi moved a bit, but didn’t refuse.

Long immediately hugged him and kissed him passionately.

After a long while, Long finally let go of Shi.

At that time, both of them were a little out of breath.

“I’ll go find Wang Qi and tell him to pay more attention,” Shi said.

Long nodded. “Okay, go ahead. I won’t go with you.”

Shi nodded. “Okay.”

Long watched Shi go away before going to Xu’s.

Xu was a little surprised when he saw Long coming over. “Hmm?”

Long motioned for Xu to ask other people to leave.

Xu immediately understood and sent the two servants away.

After closing the door, Long said directly, “I’ll tell you something.”

Xu was all ears. “Elder brother, go ahead.”

“The crown prince of Northern Barbarians has come here and he’s made friends with Fang Shuoyang. I want to test how much he knows about Fang Shuoyang.”

Xu was stunned slightly. “Huh? What should I do?”

Long smiled faintly. “You’ll go out with your Brother Shi tonight. Oh, and also Fang Shuoyang. It’ll be a little dangerous, so you need to convince him.”

Xu became speechless.

“I just have a rough plan now. I need to go back and think about it carefully. I’ll go first. Go to talk with Fang Shuoyang.”

Xu didn’t say anything and just thought to himself. “Elder brother, how could you just leave everything to others?”

“Besides, I need to persuade my man and also take the risk!”

“Elder brother, don’t you feel guilty by doing this? Huh?”

Long obviously wouldn’t feel guilty. He just turned around and walked outside!

After Long left, Xu let out a long sigh and curled his lips, thinking about what plan his elder brother had and how he could convince Fang…

When Shi came back from Wang Qi’s place, Long had already perfected his plan.

Shi nodded after hearing that. “Okay. Let’s see how much Huhe Huangcheng knows about Eastern Darkness, and also Heaven Dragon. Xu You’s identity is special, which is related to these two nations, so he can go to test Huhe Huangcheng.”

“Yes.” Long smiled faintly. “I also think so.”

While they were talking, a servant reported that the fourth prince and Mr. Xu “summoned” Long.

Long blinked. “I was summoned.”

Shi glanced at him coldly. “You wanted to use Fang Shuoyang’s lover as bait, so you’d naturally be summoned.”

Long curled his lips. “He’s also my younger brother.”

“Yeah.” Shi looked at him significantly. “That’s your younger brother…”

Long felt… very confused and disappointed. Why was his empress looking at him like that? Suddenly, Long realized it and said firmly, “Qingzhou, I can use others as bait without hesitation, but I definitely won’t do it to you!”

“Really?” Shi looked at Long with deeper significance.

Long really wanted to swear to him.

But at this moment, Shi said coldly, “Let’s go.”

Long became speechless.

When they arrived there, Fang and Xu were already waiting for them.

Fang stared at Long right after Long entered the room.

Long was very calm, just looking at Xu innocently.

Xu said immediately, “Shuoyang, I have agreed. I’m sure my elder brother must have a good plan.”

Fang said through gritted teeth, “Yeah, your elder brother must have a prefect plan!”

Long didn’t know what to say.

Shi just stood there, pretending that he was invisible.

As Fang had been staring at him, Long finally said slowly, “Well, we’ll be with him. What’s there to be worried about?”

Fang sneered. “What about me?”

Long said cautiously, “You’ll also be with him at the beginning.”

“Yes, just at the beginning!”

Long thought for a while and said, “Well then, I will stay, too. I won’t act as a guard.  Qingzhou and another Shadow Guardian will do it.”

Fang blinked and felt a little hesitant.

Long looked at him with doubts. “What’s wrong? Isn’t this okay?”

Fang pursed his lips. “This mansion isn’t absolutely safe. A large number of assassins have come here.”

Long became speechless and only shrugged his shoulders.

Xu finally decided, “Alright, enough of that. Let’s go out together!”

In the end, Fang didn’t say anything.

After dark, Fang took Xu’s hand and walked outside.

Shi and Long dutifully played the role of guards.

When passing by a teahouse called Flora House, Xu said that he wanted to take a rest there.

Fang was famous for treating his “wife” well.

Therefore, after Xu made a request, he immediately took Xu there.

Xu showed great interest in Flora House. He sat down by the window and opened all the windows nearby on the second floor.

From there, they could enjoy the night scene outside, which was quite lovely.

It was mainly because there were many stores along the street and each store had big lanterns hanging in front of the gates!

Rows of candles in the lanterns basically illuminated the whole street.

Although it wasn’t as bright as it was in the daytime, it really looked great.

In addition, some lanterns with small candles inside were being sold for people to have fun.

Some parents were playing with their children down there. It wasn’t as lively as the Lantern Festival, but it was also very busy.

Looking at that, Xu couldn’t help saying, “I also want a lantern. Shuoyang, go to buy one for me.”

Fang smiled and said, “The guards can do it.”

“No. I want you to buy it, so that you can show your sincerity.”

Fang had always been very fond of Xu. Especially when there were other people around, he was more willing to display his affection for his lover.

Therefore, he immediately nodded and stood up.

“Okay, I’m going to buy it.” Then, Fang ordered the two guards, “You guys protect Mr. Xu. Stop following me.”

“Yes.” Long and Shi answered together.

Fang went downstairs to buy the lantern.

Long and Shi guarded Xu dutifully.

At this time, Xu and the others saw that a figure approached Fang down there.

That figure was Huhe Huangcheng!

“Oh? Brother Huhe?” Fang also saw him.

“Haha.” Huhe laughed. “What a coincidence. Brother Shuoyang, did you also come out to have fun?”

Fang nodded. “Yes. My wife has stayed at home for a few days. He was a little bored, so I took him out.”

As for the wife, it naturally referred to Xu.

“So that’s it. The princess is also out. I must go and say hello to him.” Huhe lowered his voice when saying the latter part of the sentence. After all, they were on the street and they’d better keep their identities secret. It would be troublesome if they drew too much attention.

It wouldn’t be good even if they were recognized by the common people, because people would definitely gossip about that.

Fang laughed. “Okay, he’s sitting upstairs in Flora House. I was sent by him to buy something.”

Huhe said with a smile, “Brother Shuoyang, why did you have to come by yourself? You could’ve asked the guards to do it.”

Fang laughed again. “I also said the same thing just now, but my wife said if I wanted to show my sincerity, I had to do it by myself!”

“Haha…” Huhe burst into laughter. “That’s interesting.”

“Yeah.” Fang laughed helplessly. “I’m to blame. He’s really been spoiled by me.”

“But Brother Shuoyang, I think you’re really enjoying it.”

“Haha! You are right!” Fang didn’t mind admitting that he was really enjoying it!

After a short conversation, Huhe walked to the second floor of Flora House led by Fang…

On the surface, the two of them were like-minded friends who were in a harmonious relationship!

But what was the truth?

Perhaps, it was only known to heaven and earth!
