405. Wait, Don’t Go There (II)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
He rushed to the palace.
On the other side, Long Xiaoyuan took a break from his work and walked out of the study.
Long Xiaoyuan casually asked a palace maid, “Where’s Qingzhou?”
The maid replied quickly, “I don’t know.”
Long Xiaoyuan was surprised, so he summoned a Shadow Guardian.
The Shadow Guardian knew what had happened, and he directly told Long Xiaoyuan that Shi Qingzhou went out of the palace.
“Out of the palace?” Long Xiaoyuan frowned slightly. “Do you know why he went out?”
The Shadow Guardian knew that as well. “Zou Qingyuan from Tianji Sect sent him a message to meet him.”
“Zou Qingyuan...” Long Xiaoyuan pouted, thinking of Zou Qingyuan’s face.
Zou Qingyuan had worked with Qingzhou before, of which he was jealous.
Moreover, he did not forget that the first time when he met Zou Qingyuan, he almost got into an argument with Qingzhou.
However, this man was a friend instead of an enemy.
It was fine for Qingzhou to see him.
Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyuan didn’t worry too much. He told the Shadow Guardian to inform him when Qingzhou came back.
After that, Long Xiaoyuan went back to work.
To his surprise, Qingzhou hadn’t come back when it was lunchtime!
It was fine that Shi Qingzhou went out to meet Zou Qingyuan. But did they have to lunch together outside? Was this necessary?
Long Xiaoyuan felt a little frustrated.
He had no appetite when lunching alone.
There were quite a lot of documents for him to handle. He had been away for too long, so there were a lot of things piling up on his plate.
The government affairs were handled by ministers when he was not around.
Even though his ministers helped him with that, he, the Emperor, couldn’t know about nothing, could he?
Therefore, at least he needed to read the documents.
Apart from the documents, there were other things... In short, he was very busy.
After lunch, Long Xiaoyuan continued to lock himself in the study, but somehow he felt uneasy. Was he jealous?
Was he jealous of Qingzhou having lunch with another man outside? Was he such a petty man now?
Long Xiaoyuan fretted.
At this moment, a Shadow Guardian came over and reported that Liu Suifeng had come.
Long Xiaoyuan quickly asked him to bring Liu Suifeng in.
He hadn’t met Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan since he came back. First, it was because of Huhe Huangcheng. Second, he was very busy. He didn’t expect Liu Suifeng would come to him first!
Long Xiaoyuan quickly let Liu Suifeng in.
Liu Suifeng rolled his eyes when he came in. “Don’t you care about the prisoner at all?”
“Well, I’m not worried about that because I trust you.”
Liu Suifeng rolled his eyes again. “Do you want us to keep watching him?”
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Let’s ask Qingzhou about this. He’s out, and we’ll see when he comes back. If we expose Huhe Huangcheng, should I put him in the post house or the Imperial Prison?”
Liu Suifeng glared at him. “I don’t care where you put him. He can’t stay with me anyway!”
Long Xiaoyuan asked, “Well, by the way, where are you staying now?”
Liu Suifeng looked at him helplessly. “Of course in the inn.”
“Oh, the inn.” Long Xiaoyuan blinked and said, “You can stay in my travelling palace.”
Liu Suifeng asked, “Where is it?” “The one you used to stay with Zhou Huan.”
Liu Suifeng nodded. “That’s fine. We’ll move over.”
“Good. That’ll be more convenient. As for Huhe Huangcheng, please help take care of him for a while.”
Liu Suifeng pouted. “I knew that we can’t free ourselves even after we got to the Imperial City!”
Long Xiaoyuan laughed apologetically.
Liu Suifeng said. “Alright, I’ll be off now.”
“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded.
After Liu Suifeng left, Long Xiaoyuan read the documents for a while, and then he left the study. He summoned a Shadow Guardian and asked, “Hasn’t Qingzhou come back yet?”
“No.”
Long Xiaoyuan said, “Which Shadow Guardians are following him? Contact them.”
“Yes.” The Shadow Guardian went away to contact those guardians.
Long Xiaoyuan waited for about half an hour before the news came that Shi Qingzhou had gone to Pan Mountain.
“Pan Mountain?” Long Xiaoyuan was surprised. “What is he doing there?”
The Shadow Guardian said he didn’t know.
Long Xiaoyuan frowned, regretting letting Liu Suifeng leave. Otherwise, he could go with Liu Suifeng and see what happened. Long Xiaoyuan said, “Go and ask what they are doing in Pan Mountain.”
“Yes,” Shadow Guardian left swiftly, and Long Xiaoyuan felt uneasy. Frowning, he decided to go out of the palace too!
Long Xiaoyuan left with more than thirty Shadow Guardians, heading straight for Pan Mountain.
On the way, Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and decided to send Liu Suifeng a message.
By the time Long Xiaoyuan reached Pan Shan, it was already dark.
No Shadow Guardians who followed Shi Qingzhou stayed behind. .
Long Xiaoyuan frowned. “Where are they?”
One of the Shadow Guardians he brought came out and said, “I’ll look for them now.”
Long Xiaoyuan nodded. He didn’t go up the mountain, and instead he waited on the spot.
Half an hour later, the Shadow Guardian came back, saying that Shi Qingzhou and the rest were in the valley halfway up the mountain.
“They’re there?” Long Xiaoyuan frowned and suddenly remembered that was the place where the poisonous creatures were discovered.
Hadn’t all the poisonous creatures there been burned up by the fire? What was Qingzhou doing there?
Frowning, Long Xiaoyuan decided to go take a look.
Thus, they started climb up the mountain.
However, before Long Xiaoyuan reached there, Liu Suifeng’s voice was heard, “Wait! Don’t go there!”
Liu Suifeng sent him the voice message with his inner force. Although Long Xiaoyuan heard his voice, Liu Suifeng had not arrived yet.
Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback and abruptly stopped.
“Liu Suifeng?” Long Xiaoyuan was a little surprised. He didn’t see Liu Suifeng around.
The Shadow Guardian next to him immediately said, “Mr. Liu hasn’t arrived yet. He used his inner force and sent us the voice message.”
“Oh...that is to say, we have to wait for a while?”
“Yes.”
Long Xiaoyuan thought of Liu Suifeng’s anxious voice asking him to wait. He thought for a moment and decided to wait for Liu Suifeng. Anyway, he could wait for a while.
Besides, what happened today bewildered him. Why did Qingzhou come here?
