Why didn't you kill me first?

However, although Long Xiaoyuan still felt that it was a bit unusual, the result of sending Liu Xiangyang to investigate was that this matter was a coincidence!

Liu Xiangyang checked a few times and even asked some people separately, but the result was the same.

In the end, Long Xiaoyuan had to conclude that he was overthinking it!

After settling the matter in the Imperial study, Long Xiaoyuan thought that Shi Qingzhou would not be able to finish the matter quickly.

Thus, he slowly drank a cup of tea and thought of a few more ways to deal with the Kunning Palace's security and guards. He also instructed shadow guard to carry out his orders and then left.

Kunning Palace had guards during the day, but shadow guard would never be there.

As for the guards, they didn't dare to stop Imperial Consort Shan in the open. They didn't have enough status.

However, if it was shadow guard, shadow guard would represent the emperor. In terms of status, it was definitely enough to stop anyone!

Long Xiaoyuan openly sent two shadow guard to the Kunning Palace.

Every day, they would shift shifts around for twenty-four hours. They would never let an empty window like the one in the Kunning Palace appear again.

After doing this, Long Xiaoyuan went back to Shi Qingzhou's place. As expected, Shi Qingzhou hadn't come back yet.

But the eunuchs and Lili that Shi Qingzhou had sent to do the work came back.

Long Xiaoyuan also asked around, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Obviously, Liu Xiangyang also said that there was nothing abnormal, but Long Xiaoyuan didn't know why, but when he added all these "normal" things together, he still felt that something was wrong.

Or could it be that, since ancient times, Emperors suspected this to be their nature, and even someone like themselves, who had transcended worlds, could not be avoided?

In the end, Long Xiaoyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Qingzhou didn't answer and Long Xiaoyuan took a short break.

Finally, when Long Xiaoyuan woke up, Shi Qingzhou came back!

"Is the Emperor tired?" Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan, who was resting, and immediately asked.

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "That's not it. It's just that since you're not around and no one is talking to me, I'm just a bit bored. Oh right, how are you doing?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled. The initial results were quite good, but it wasn't easy for a talented person to achieve it in one fell swoop. But I've got a little bit of information I want. "

"Oh?" Long Xiaoyuan was too shocked, and he admired his own queen too much.

"You're so good at kung fu, yet you've already subdued him?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly. Talking to smart people is actually much easier, but you have to master their abilities, or else there will be a backlash. "

Long Xiaoyuan was silent for a moment and then waved his hand. My family's light boat is definitely the smartest person in the world, there's no need to worry about the backlash. "

"Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan with a faint smile when he heard that." Is the Emperor that confident in me? "

"Of course!" "Long Xiaoyuan nodded vigorously." If I don't have confidence in my family's light boat, then in this world, who else can I have confidence in? "

Long Xiaoyuan's words of love... Although it was a bit exaggerated, but it had to be said that the effect was pretty good, so Shi Qingzhou still liked to hear it.

Long Xiaoyuan was very satisfied with this.

Two days later, Hu Qingyuan arrived.

Hu Qingyuan could also be said to have rushed over from a dusty place because of Long Xiaoyuan's transfer order.

However, because there was also the secret message from the empress Shi Qingzhou along with the king's order, Hu Qingyuan came willingly.

The people of the world knew what kind of person Long Xiaoyuan's previous self was, then the officials of the world knew even more.

Hu Qingyuan naturally knew of this as well!

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor had lost his sense of propriety, the crowd of officials, and his own bad temper that refused to change principles, how could the third place student of the Hall Exam end up like this?

If it wasn't for this reason, he wouldn't have been so cold-hearted towards the Emperor, and then … Alright, I've accepted the empress's invitation.

He knew the relationship between the Empress and the Emperor …

In fact, Hu Qingyuan was never an idiot. He had already prepared for the worst case scenario, and that was the day when the Queen would replace the Emperor.

When that day comes, he will be the meritorious servant of the new emperor.

If not, then he would be nine familial exterminated!

He actually knew all of this. Fortunately, although he had a family background, it wasn't the family background of the clan.

His family was simple. His mother had passed away, leaving only his wife and only his son. At that time, if that day really came, regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he would settle his wife and son first.

He wanted his wife and children to go to a faraway place, so that they could live their lives incognito.

He had actually considered all these before.

In fact, he'd heard rumors of the emperor suddenly pampering the empress and had even heard the news that the empress had become a general leading troops to war!

For this, Hu Qingyuan was actually worried. He felt that this sudden favor was a sign that he needed the Empress to act against him.

The empress was a smart person, she would definitely know.

He had even made preparations when the empress had set off on her expedition. That is, the Shi Family will lead the army to rebel!

However, he hadn't expected that the empress would return to the capital in such a state!

And now, seeing how the emperor and empress get along harmoniously … Could it be that these two supreme experts really came together? Is that possible?

All of a sudden, Hu Qingyuan's heart flashed a lot of times, but in the end, it became calm.

Long Xiaoyuan was someone he had met in Imperial study, Hu Qingyuan, and Shi Qingzhou was also there.

Hu Qingyuan could feel from their interactions that... The two of them seemed to have a pretty good relationship with each other!

For example, the queen would grind the emperor's ink.

For example, the emperor did not notice that the tea in the emperor's cup was gone, but the empress had already refilled it for him.

For example, after the empress had stood there a little longer, the emperor immediately allowed her to sit down and even personally moved the chair over.

For example, since the empress didn't drink tea and the emperor was afraid that the opposite party would be thirsty, he would hand over his cup. As for the empress, she easily accepted it and drank it …

All of this showed that the relationship between the emperor and empress was very good! It's really good!

Above, this is what Hu Qingyuan discovered when he was recounting his work...

In the end, Hu Qingyuan left in a daze.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled and looked at Hu Qingyuan's departing back, "Qingzhou, I have a good impression of this person's shrewdness. How can he be pushed back by his comrades?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled, " It's not that he doesn't know how to chat with people, but there are some principles that no one can change. "

"Like what?" Long Xiaoyuan's interest was piqued. Hu Qingyuan seemed to be doing quite well.

They obviously had some doubts as to whether their feelings were real or fake, but they did not reveal it.

He was clearly shocked, but he recovered quickly and at least looked calm on the surface.

Most importantly, he was able to remain calm even under such shock. The other party was able to answer some of his questions very well, so it could be said that he hadn't made any mistakes in the process of reporting.

"You're the emperor, so you naturally don't feel there's any problem." But... If your boss wants to celebrate his birthday, but you go to the banquet with a light breeze in your sleeves, what will happen if you don't prepare anything? "

"Eh?" Long Xiaoyuan was stunned.

Shi Qingzhou smiled again. If your superior and an ordinary commoner were to be frightened by a wild horse at the same time, if you had the time and ability to drag others away, at least to avoid a wild horse's attack on your face, would you not hesitate to drag the commoner, making your superior nearly die under the horse's hooves? "

"Eh …" Long Xiaoyuan blinked and touched his nose.

"" Shi Qingzhou smiled again. If you and your colleague had agreed to go out for a drink, and your colleague decided to set the place where they would be eating in the Flower Pavilion, you would leave with a frown, and not even if your colleague asked you to stay, would you? "

Long Xiaoyuan rubbed his chin, imagined the scene, and smiled.

Shi Qingzhou sighed, "And if your colleague takes it from your pocket when he has the benefits, it's not too much to take it. It's not like you're taking small profits, but you're also involved in it. But you're selfless.

Long Xiaoyuan went silent.

Shi Qingzhou lightly touched Long Xiaoyuan's hand with his finger. Disregarding the fact that you possess the status of a ruler, you are merely an ordinary official. As such, how could you possibly like someone like him? "

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou deeply, then forced a smile and said, "Indeed, only the Bright Lord likes such a good official. Only by liking him and appreciating his good superior can he have a chance to shine." "And I wasn't such an emperor in the past …"

Shi Qingzhou slightly smiled and said softly, "Compared to before, Your Majesty has indeed …" A lot has changed. "

Long Xiaoyuan sighed.

Shi Qingzhou said softly once again, "Your majesty, I know how you changed …" "Is it because of that?"

"Qingzhou, do you believe in this dream?" Long Xiaoyuan knew that sooner or later he would raise this issue with Shi Qingzhou. He used the body of the original owner with all the memories of the original owner, so he wasn't worried about others suspecting that he was a fake.

However, the previous him and the current him had a completely different style when it came to mishaps. Thus, this matter would be brought up sooner or later.

Especially him and Shi Qingzhou. They had promised each other their entire lives. Naturally, they would tell each other about this.

Others might worry about his title as a tyrant, but Shi Qingzhou was different.

Thus, Long Xiaoyuan himself was already prepared. Moreover, he had thought of a way to explain himself.

Since Shi Qingzhou said so today, then he will tell him the explanation that he prepared beforehand.

However, even though it is just an excuse, there is nothing else apart from concealing the fact that it was a novel from my previous life.

In his previous life, the matter was too illusory. Long Xiaoyuan didn't want to talk about it, but he couldn't talk about it, and even more so, he didn't want to hurt Shi Qingzhou.

Not distrust, but... There was no need to make him carry anything.

Furthermore, he did not believe that he had nothing to do with the original owner. If you were to say that I am not him, would all your injuries be for nothing?

He didn't want to! He would rather believe that that person was actually another person. However, that person's soul might not be complete, which was why it was so brutal. His arrival had allowed his soul to completely fuse with his body, thus returning him to his true self.

He liked Shi Qingzhou, so he wanted him to be the only one for him! He was alone!

"A mere dream?" Shi Qingzhou was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this answer.

"Yeah." Long Xiaoyuan smiled and looked at Shi Qingzhou.

"The light boat should have found out by now. I suddenly changed my mind."

Shi Qingzhou was silent. After a moment, he nodded. That's why I've always had my doubts. "

Long Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly again. Not to mention you, I reckon many people are very suspicious right? "

Shi Qingzhou paused.

Long Xiaoyuan reached out his hand and gently caressed Shi Qingzhou's face.

Shi Qingzhou let him do what he wanted.

After a moment, Long Xiaoyuan slowly opened his mouth. The night I lived in my own chamber... I had a dream. "

"What dream?" Shi Qingzhou immediately asked.

"I dreamt that … I lost my heart because of my brutality... Your father obviously didn't rebel, but I believed him to rebel because of some other people's rumors. Also, for that small bit of selfishness in my heart, I took your father's military power and even executed your entire Shi Family! "

Shi Qingzhou was shocked and his pupils violently contracted.

Long Xiaoyuan stared fixedly at Shi Qingzhou and continued, "I dreamt that you were forced into a corner by me … and then rebel. "

Shi Qingzhou was shocked again.

"I was killed by you. You ascended the throne and became an emperor. Now that you have changed the impotence and incompetence of my time, you have managed the world very well …" However, whether it's ascending to the throne, marrying the empress, or becoming a concubine, I've never seen you smile again. At that time, after I died, I became a ghost. I don't know why I couldn't go to hell, but I could only follow by your side. I'm right next to you... have watched you all your life... That life … You haven't even laughed. "

In that novel, Shi Qingzhou became the emperor. Although he had four concubines and three Zhao Yi, but even on the day of the wedding, he did not laugh. No, it should be said that he did not laugh at all.

He even ordered the entire country not to bring up the matter of a man's love … This was the only thing Shi Qingzhou had ever done.

It was a book written from the perspective of the Queen Shi Qingzhou. When the Shi Family was still around, no matter how unkind and humiliating Long Xiaoyuan was to him, he would still laugh when he saw his father a few times.

He smiled when he thought of his mother.

But after that, when the Shi Family was no longer around, even after he ascended the throne, he quickly married a lot of women.

Although those women had extraordinary backgrounds, they didn't have much relationship with Shi Qingzhou.

There seemed to be a line in that novel: If that gentle and elegant empress of peerless beauty had already become an emperor of iron blood, then she would have no tears, no laughter, no pain, and no love. However, it was precisely because of this personality that attracted so many females to come over like moths to a flame. They all wanted to subdue this iron-blooded man.

Shi Qingzhou would marry those women to ensure the stability of the court.

But was it true love for those women? Obviously not … The imperial harem had seen so many scheming and scheming women, how could they still easily fall in love with them, not to mention … He was a queen.

Although Long Xiaoyuan made up a lie about the ghost, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain how he knew what happened after he died. However, the rest were all true.

"Qingzhou, I have followed you for a lifetime. I've seen you never laugh again in a lifetime, so I know how disgraceful I was in the past. I have gone too far with you, and I have gone too far with the people. I've been with you all my life, and I've watched you motivate me... Qingzhou, I regret it, I feel ashamed … When I woke up from that dream, I realized that all I had was a dream. I didn't kill your entire family, and you didn't kill me either … I just want to change our relationship. "

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. He looked at Long Xiaoyuan and asked softly. Since you dreamed of dying at my hands... "Why didn't you kill me when I woke up?"
