Long Xiaoyuan was puzzled, and Shi Qingzhou was angry.
Liu Suifeng realized that something was wrong from the look in Shi Qingzhou’s eyes, and he coughed.
Long Xiaoyuan slowly asked, “Hallucinogenic? What is that?”
Liu Suifeng shuddered. He was not afraid of Long Xiaoyuan, but he was scared Shi Qingzhou.
Long Xiaoyuan turned to Shi Qingzhou very slowly. “Qingzhou, can you tell me what’s going on?”
Shi Qingzhou said lightly, “Yesterday, Liu Suifeng thrust me a packet of powder, pushing me to test its effect, so I experimented on it.”
Long Xiaoyuan was lost for words.
Liu Suifeng fell silent.
Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan. “Let’s have breakfast.”
Long Xiaoyuan felt upset when he recalled how Shi Qingzhou had tormented him this morning. It turned out that he had been fooled!
Moreover, his lover had fooled him!
And his lover blamed it all on him!
Long Xiaoyuan was frustrated!
Liu Suifeng felt annoyed as well. Shi Qingzhou came to ask him for the drug, and later he accused him of giving him the drug!
Liu Suifeng felt frustrated for being wronged.
However, he didn’t retort in the end.
And Long Xiaoyuan naturally had to swallow all his ‘grievances’.
After that, they had breakfast.
It was an unpleasant breakfast.
After breakfast, Liu Suifeng made an excuse and fled, not intending to get involved in the war between the couple.
After Liu Suifeng left, Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou sadly.
“Qingzhou, you lied to me.”
Shi Qingzhou coughed slightly. “Did I?”
Long Xiaoyuan immediately stared. “Didn’t you?”
Shi Qingzhou tilted his head. “It’s true that the hallucinogenic makes people hallucinate, but it doesn’t affect what people are thinking. You were influenced by the hallucinogenic, and that only proves that you don’t have a strong will. This is not a good thing.”
Long Xiaoyuan was lost for words. Shi Qingzhou’s explanation sounded plausible. Long Xiaoyuan didn’t know that he was so good at sophistry.
Shi Qingzhou continued, “Therefore, you should blame yourself.”
Long Xiaoyuan fell silent.
“Do you think I’m wrong?” Shi Qingzhou asked.
Long Xiaoyuan admitted that he was defeated!
He blinked sadly and said, “No, you’re always right.”
Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Doesn’t that settle everything?”
“Qingzhou…” Long Xiaoyuan held his waist with a wry face. “When did you become so bad? I don’t even know!”
Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan and said matter-of-factly, “What if it wasn’t me who drugged you yesterday but someone else?”
“Well?”
“Wouldn’t you have fallen for the trap?”
Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin and said helplessly, “You have a point there.”
Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly. “Since you agree with me, you have to train hard your willpower from now on, so as not to fall for the traps laid by other people.”
“Okay. You are right. “Long Xiaoyuan had to say.
Shi Qingzhou was satisfied now, saying, “What’s your plan?”
Long Xiaoyuan looked at him. “What do you mean?”
Shi Qingzhou was frustrated. “What do you think? Of course the next actions plan.”
Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “I got you. Qingzhou, I asked Qin Yuechun to think about it.”
Shi Qingzhou turned to look at him. “The plan that I mentioned?” “Yes. I think there is a problem with the cooperation, and we might need something else. If one part goes wrong, it might be a big problem. When he came to me, I couldn’t think of the solution, so I asked him to solve it.”
“Oh, I see,” Shi Qingzhou nodded, “Do you count on him?”
“No. I just wanted to wait for a while. Now that you’re here, did you come up with the plan?”
Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Yes.”
“Since you’re here, we know how to cooperate with you… To be honest,” Long Xiaoyuan hugged Shi Qingzhou and kissed him, “Qingzhou, I didn’t expect you to come.”
Shi Qingzhou looked at Him. “Why?”
“I thought you would definitely keep an eye over there.”
Shi Qingzhou said lightly, “There is no need for now. Fang Shuoyang and Zhou Suye are constraining each other with many Shadow Guardians in the dark. It is difficult for either of them to make a move. In such a situation, even if I stay there, I can’t do anything. Why not leave?”
“Okay, I got it.” Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Qingzhou, did you miss me too?”
Shi Qingzhou fell silent.
Long Xiaoyuan gently pinched his cheek. “Qingzhou, just admit it honestly. If you didn’t miss me, how could you…” Shi Qingzhou just rolled his eyes and left.
“Hey, wait for me.” Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly chased after him.
However, when he raced out of the door, Shi Qingzhou was gone!
Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips. He was not anxious. Anyway, Qingzhou was here, and Long Xiaoyuan was not afraid that he would run away!
As expected, when he leisurely walked back to his room, Qingzhou was already there!
Long Xiaoyuan was instantly delighted and ran over. “Qingzhou!”
Shi Qingzhou frowned. “Why are you so slow?”
Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly said, “I didn’t know where you are, so I was delayed on the way for a while.”
Shi Qingzhou rolled his eyes. “A while? I’ve had a cup of tea since I came back.”
Long Xiaoyuan just giggled foolishly.
The corner of his mouth twitching, Shi Qingzhou fell silent.
Long Xiaoyuan poured him another cup of tea.
Shi Qingzhou took it and drank it.
Long Xiaoyuan had one cup as well.
Shi Qingzhou looked at him. “I have an idea.”
“Tell me.” Long Xiaoyuan said hurriedly.
Shi Qingzhou said slowly, “Huhe Huangcheng is going to poison the water here, and we will let him do it.”
Long Xiaoyuan blinked. “What do you mean?”
“We’ve already made the antidote, right?”
“Yes,” Long Xiaoyuan nodded.
“Since we have the antidote, and his poison is a chronic one, that is to say, it is fine even if our people are temporarily poisoned.”
“Well…” Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin. “I see. But…is it too risky?”
Shi Qingzhou said lightly, “Don’t you always say that wealth is sought in danger?”
“But… there are too many people at the border.”
Shi Qingzhou smiled. “Do you object?”
Long Xiaoyuan immediately shook his head. “Let’s go ask Liu Suifeng.”
“Alright.” Shi Qingzhou agreed.
Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan summoned the Shadow Guardians to look for Liu Suifeng.
Liu Suifeng arrived soon.
Shi Qingzhou told him the plan, and Liu Suifeng immediately said, “It’s not difficult. It’s feasible. As long as we can identify those who have been poisoned, I can detoxify them.”
Long Xiaoyuan was relieved when he heard this.
“Alright, I’m relieved.”
Liu Suifeng went away to prepare. Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan continued to discuss some more details.
When everything was confirmed, Long Xiaoyuan asked, “Alright, that’s it. Are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow,” Shi Qingzhou said.
“Tomorrow? I can’t bear to see you go.”
Shi Qingzhou looked at him. “If you don’t want to part , you can go with me.”
“That’s good,” Long Xiaoyuan said immediately.
Shi Qingzhou looked at him with a faint smile.
Long Xiaoyuan coughed and said righteously, “Forget it. Now we should focus on national affairs! We’ll have plenty of time to stay together later.”
Shi Qingzhou smiled without saying anything.
Long Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh. “Qingzhou, things are almost settled. You’re leaving tomorrow. Let’s go out for a stroll.”
Shi Qingzhou did not object to this, and he nodded directly. “Okay.”
Long Xiaoyuan thought of something when he suggested going out. “Qingzhou, I almost forgot one thing.”
“What is it?” Shi Qingzhou looked at him.
“I bought you a present. I thought I would give it to you in a long time, but now you’re here!”
“What is it?” Shi Qingzhou got curious.
“Wait. I’ll go get it.”
As he spoke, Long Xiaoyuan ran over to the cupboard, opened it and took out the things from the innermost part.
It was a big package, in which were gadgets that Long Xiaoyuan bought for Shi Qingzhou.
Shi Qingzhou opened the package and found that there were all sorts of things inside.
However, most of them seemed to be designed for children.
“These are for me?”
Shi Qingzhou asked with a strange expression.
“Yeah.” Long Xiaoyuan didn’t notice the weird look on Shi Qingzhou’s face, introducing the gadgets as if they were treasures.
Shi Qingzhou couldn’t bring himself to dampen Long Xiaoyuan’s high spirit, so he randomly picked up one of the things.
“This is quite interesting.”
When Long Xiaoyuan saw he pick up a crystal like bead, he immediately said, “Well, I call it a crystal ball. It is said that it can protect against evil spirits.”
Shi Qingzhou nodded “Really? That’s good.”
“Well, since you like it, take it with you.”
“Alright. I’ll choose this one, and take the rest back to the children.”
“Okay. Take the rest back to Huanhuan.”
“Okay.”
The couple discussed and settled it.
After Shi Qingzhou took the crystal ball, Long Xiaoyuan packed the rest and put it away.
“You can take it when you come on the next business trip.”
“Okay.” Shi Qingzhou nodded without any objections.
After that, Long Xiaoyuan held Shi Qingzhou’s hand and went out.
However, he held his hand for only a short while.
After they went out of the mansion, Long Xiaoyuan let go of his hand.
Otherwise, it would make them conspicuous.
Especially, Shi Qingzhou had to go back. If he attracted any attention, it would be bad for him.
While Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou left the mansion to go shopping on the street, Xu You was left alone, and Huhe Huangcheng blocked his way.
Fang Shuoyang and Zhou Suye were in the discussion of the war with the border generals. It was not convenient for Xu You to participate, as he knew his identity was special, and he would attract attention. Therefore, he took a walk outside the camp. Unexpectedly, he got harassed.
