Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler-Chapter 331 - I Happened to Need Your Help (II)

“Huh?” Long blinked, and then hurried away.

Long and Shi went to Fang Shuoyang’s study together.

“Huh?” Long took the invitation from Fang Shuoyang’s hand. “The birthday banquet of Second Prince’s wife?”

“Well, it is said that they didn’t intend to make it grand, so they want us brothers to gather together.” Fang Shuoyang pouted as he said that.

Long blinked. “It’s just a woman, but he intended to have a brothers’ reunion?”

Shi asked indifferently, “Any news of the court recently?”

Fang Shuoyang thought carefully, and said, “If there is any news, it’s the role for leading the queue during the Worship Ceremony in Western mountain. The leading role is still to be determined.”

“Huh? Isn’t this the Crown Prince’s business?” Long asked in surprise, “Although the Crown Prince may not be the next emperor, should it at least look like that way?”

Fang Shuoyang lowered his voice upon hearing the question, “It is said that the Crown Prince angered Lord Zhou a few days ago. Although he was not grounded yet, Lord Zhou was very dissatisfied. Therefore, he might not be able to lead the queue by then.”

“Why don’t I know this?” Long was a little surprised.

“They kept it a secret. I didn’t know about this until just now,” Fang Shuoyang said, “I’m afraid it’s still a secret for most of the officials in the court.”

“So that’s the case.” Long touched his nose. “Then what do you think the Second Prince wants you to do at this time?”

“I don’t know, so I want to discuss with you.” Fang Shuoyang said.

“Well…” Long looked at Shi. “Qingzhou, what do you think?”

Shi said lightly, “I’m not familiar with him, but the three princes are all brutal and self-serving. Their ambitions are obvious. However, we have no idea what they want to do before this. We’ll have to wait and see.”

Long thought for a while and said, “Maybe, we can make them in a mess.”

“What do you mean?” Fang Shuoyang looked at Long immediately.

Long smiled slightly. “Our purpose here was to make them in a mess. Also, we are not going to let go of these three princes. In that case, why don’t we act a little earlier?”

Shi was silent when he heard this, and said, “That sounds feasible. However, it depends on how many princes will appear on that day.”

“You are right. If all the princes appear on that day, and then the Second Prince is killed, all the princes will be suspected. That would be great.”

“It would be best if Zhou Suye can also appear there on that day. In that case, Lord Zhou won’t have the chance to put all the rest princes into prison.”

“Yes!” Long laughed. “Don’t we all suspect that Childe Suye is your opponent? This is a good opportunity to prove our assumption.”

“Yeah.” Shi nodded. “We still have two days. That will be enough for us to get prepared.”

Fang Shuoyang was speechless when the two settled the whole thing with him being silent aside.

Long said, “In the next few days, pay attention to your behavior. Especially when attending the banquet, don’t expose your thoughts. Otherwise, no matter how good our action plan is, it will be useless.”

Fang Shuoyang took a deep breath. “I understand. Now that you have made the decision, I will definitely cooperate in these days.”

“Okay then.” Long yawned. “I’m too tired. I’d like to go back to sleep for a while.”

Fang Shuoyang responded immediately, “Is it because of the night watch? If so, I can order to change your shift.”

“Don’t.” Long waved his hand. “Don’t bother. Besides, if we are not here at night, how do we have the chance to see you being kicked out of the room?”

Fang Shuoyang didn’t reply.

Long and Shi returned to their room.

Shi asked suspiciously, “You are still tired?”

“Of course.” Long said naturally, “Of course I’m tired. You have to know that if you don’t sleep well at night, it’s useless if you sleep more during the day, but I don’t plan to sleep now.”

“Then why did you say that you want to go back to sleep?” Shi became even more suspicious when he heard this.

“It’s just saying.” Long didn’t take it seriously.

Shi looked at him. “Then where are you going?”

Long lowered his voice. “Let’s go meet Wang Qi and the others.”

“Huh? For the banquet?” Shi understood his intention immediately.

“Yeah, isn’t Liu Suifeng here? We haven’t seen him yet. It’s our best chance to meet them today.”

Shi nodded, and suddenly said, “Are you planning to use poison?”

“Qingzhou, you know me well.”

Shi rolled his eyes. “Then you should thank me for letting Liu Suifeng come here.”

“Of course, Qingzhou, I am full of gratitude to you all the time!” Long said immediately.

Shi smiled gently.

The two of them quarreled as they left the Fourth Prince’s Mansion. After they got outside, they found an inn and went in.

When they came out of it again, their appearances had already changed.

“Why do we have to come to the inn? That’s really inconvenient.”

Shi stared at him. “If we don’t come here, do you have a better quiet place for you to change?”

“Fine, but we have to come back here in this case. It’s a bit troublesome.”

“Just in case. If we go find them directly like you expected, we might be targeted. If so, it will bring us no good,” Shi said.

“Okay.” Long shrugged. “I’m just saying.”

It didn’t take long before they finally arrived at Wang Qi’s house.

Liu Suifeng came out of the room in the first place, and when he saw the two of them… he was more than a little upset!

Therefore, his face was a bit gloomy.

Long, on the contrary, greeted him very happily. “Hey, you are here!”

Liu Suifeng smiled unsmilingly. “Yeah, I’m here, how are you guys!”

Liu Suifeng asked as he gritted his teeth.

“Yeah, we are fine.” Long seemed to know nothing about Liu Suifeng’s expression, and replied happily, “How long did it take to get here? When did you arrive? You must be tired…”

Liu Suifeng really didn’t want to care about this person at all. So he looked at Shi.

“Senior Brother Chuan is in the barracks.”

“Alright.” Shi nodded.

Liu Suifeng took a deep breath. “Do you think Senior Brother can play you well?”

Shi looked at him. “Why can’t he?”

Fine, Liu Suifeng… had nothing to say.

Long seemed to have finally “understood” the situation.

“Suifeng, you are here, but your Senior Brother is back again. Ah, you are separated again!”

Liu Suifeng’s mouth twitched immediately. He gritted his teeth as he looked at Long.

“Yeah! Are you happy?”

“I don’t understand. This has nothing to do with me. Why should I be happy?”

Liu Suifeng kept silent again.

Shi felt that Long had gone too far to tease Liu Suifeng, which would not be good for their next action plan.

So Shi changed the topic, “Since you are here, we happen to need your help…”

Liu Suifeng’s face darkened slightly. “I knew it! Once I get here, I’ll have to work tirelessly for both of you.”

When Long heard this, he looked at Liu Suifeng in surprise. “Seriously? You don’t know that until now? I thought you had such knowledge on your way here.”

Liu Suifeng’s face suddenly darkened.

Shi coughed and said, “Don’t talk outside. Let’s get in first, shall we?”

Was this chatting? Was he serious that this was chatting? Liu Suifeng really wanted to spit blood.

These two people seemed to be getting more and more irritating now!

However, in the end, Liu Suifeng still followed in.

But even at this time… Long was still talking sarcastically.

“Qingzhou, do you think Liu Suifeng seems to be sick?”

“Huh? How so?”

“I don’t think he looks good. Maybe he got a cold on his way here.”

“I don’t think so. He’s a doctor.”

“Come on. Don’t you know that it’s hard for a doctor to heal himself?”

“Ahem, enough talking. Will you get in?”

“Alas… well, I just want to express my concern.”

Such concern was really unnecessary! Who would want it anyway?!

When Liu Suifeng heard this, he did have the urge to vomit blood. He almost regretted that he came over. What a misfortune that he had to serve such a master!
