nLiu indeed appreciated Long’s courage.

nAs a matter of fact, the noblest emperor didn’t need to take the risk. But he did it, which was really impressive.

n

n

nDrawing a jade bottle from his bosom, he threw it to Long.

nLong took it, “What is it?”

n“Pills for preventing pestilence. One pill can prevent you from being infected.”

n“Is it so effective?”Long’s eyes brightened, “Could people outside the city enter after taking the pills?”

n

n

nLiu slightly shook his head, “It costs too much. All the resources provided by the city only could afford two hundreds of pills. The main issue was that it took too much time to make the pills. As the pestilence is a virus, I think the most urgent issue is to detoxify the infected people.”

nFeeling a little disappointed, Long nodded, “I see. Have you gotten any solution?”

nWhile speaking, Long took a pill and gave the jade bottle to Shi.

nAfter taking one pill, Shi threw out the jade bottle filled with more than ten pills. The bottle did not fall down, but was taken by one shadow guardian.

n

n

n“Give me one more bottle.” Shi said coldly.Update by L istnovel.com

nLiu gave a bitter smile, “It was the last bottle. Others had been given to the soldiers garrisoning the city.”

nLong said, “How about I collect resources from several cities and send more imperial physicians here to make the pills? You could still focus on the antidote.”

n“That will be okay as long as the time is enough.”

nLong said without hesitation, “That’s settled then.”

nLiu nodded with a smile, “That is really a blessing for the people.”

n

n

n“By the way, you hadn’t told us the progress of the antidote.” Long reminded him immediately.

nHearing this, Liu turned to be serious, “No big problem in the general direction… But I believed this pestilence was an act of sabotage.”

nLong was stunned, “What do you mean?”

n“The pestilence was actually not so serious when I came here. I had found a solution before.”

n“Wait.” Long interrupted Liu, “I heard there was another miracle-working doctor, was it true?”

n“He was a quack, who could only cure minor illness, not the fatal and infectious disease. As a matter of fact, he was utilized.” Liu sneered.

n“What’s the story?”

n“I don’t know the details. According to my analysis , that miracle-working doctor did a disservice. I’m not sure if he did that on purpose. But after I found someone sabotaged this city later, I guessed he was most likely utilized. When I came here, I found a solution for the pestilence. But the water source of the city was added with something at the night I came here, worsening the physical condition of infected people quickly. As a result, people was supposed to suffered only one poison at the the beginning, but one poison became two poisons at last. So, we have to uncover the hidden evildoers, otherwise, they will poison people again even I kept this pestilence under control.”

nHearing what Liu said, Long’s eyes turned cold, “ Someone intentionally poisoned the water source? Good, I’d like to see what kind of people are so fearless.”

nA cold homicidal look flashed in Shi’s eyes.

nRight-Prime Minister just caught sight of Shi’s face a moment ago and didn’t notice his eyes.

nAfter all, the Empress was the wife of Emperor even if he was a man. The ministers couldn’t look steadily at the Empress’ eyes.

nNow, the homicidal look of Shi made Right-Prime Minister see his eyes and the color.

nRight-Prime Minister was stunned, noticing that Shi seemed to have changed a lot, and couldn’t help wondering how it happened.

nLong and Shi were walking outside.

nBefore they left, Long asked Right-Prime Minister to have a good rest instead of worrying about anything and leave everything to them.

nLiu and Ouyang naturally followed them.

nLong asked Liu to write down the prescription for preventing the pestilence.

nLiu answered, “Okay, I’m going to write it down right now.”

nLong nodded and said, “I will send more manpower here.”

nThe most important of all was to uncover the hidden evildoers!

n

n

nWhen Long finished his things, he saw Shi leaning against the window and looking at outside. Although Long couldn’t guess Shi’s emotion from his cold side face, Long knew Shi was obviously not happy.

nLong walked to Shi and softly hugged him from behind.

n“Qingzhou, What are you thinking?”

nShi turned around his head and answered slightly, “Nothing.”

nLong turned Shi’s face to him, with his chin put on Shi’s shoulder, “Really? You looks unhappy.”

nShi glanced at outside, “Should I be happy in the face of such circumstances?”

nWhat Shi said was a little poignant. But Long didn’t take it seriously. On the contrary, Long was moved, then forcefully held Shi in his arms.

nLong said, “You are supposed to be unhappy. But Qingzhou, you know what I mean.”

nLooking away, Shi said nothing.

nLong kissed Shi on his ear, “Qingzhou, you have a short memory. Did you forget what you promised me?”

nShi’s body was stiffened slightly, then became tender under Long’s kiss.

n“Tell me what you were thinking just now… Did you want to find the hidden evildoers by yourself and then kill them?”

nShi slightly shivered, looking at Long in surprise.

nLong curled his lips, “I knew it. You certainly thought so.”

nShi blinked his eyes, then dropped his eyelids, “Sorry… I couldn’t control myself.”

n“Fool.” Feeling his heart ached, Long kissed Shi on the lips. Then, Long took a step back and stared at Shi’s eyes firmly before kissing Shi’s eyes.

nShi’s body shivered slightly.

nLong said slightly, “I also want to kill them when I heard of the truth. How could I blame you?”

nShi felt relieved. Long’s understanding made Shi happy, with the light redness becoming more light.

nLong gave another kiss on Shi’s eyes, “Qingzhou, I want you to know that I love you so much. You can say anything to me, and I will support you forever instead of blaming you, alright?”

nLooking up at the sincere eyes of Long, Shi nodded slowly, “Hmm.”

nGetting Shi’s promise, Long smiled.

nAfter a while, Shi said, “Let’s stroll along the street.”

n“Eh?” Long blinked his eyes, “Why?”

nShi answered slightly, “Just have a look.”

nHearing this, Long nodded, “Okay.”

nLong and Shi left after the making the decision. Long thought Shi probably intended to attract the hidden evildoers, but he supported Shi’s action…
