Novel Full Long and Shi stayed in Fang Shuoyang’s Prince’s Mansion.
In the next twenty days or so, their life was kind of peaceful.
However, such peace seemed more like an illusion!
At least during this period, Long and his partners did a lot of things secretly.
For example, they had completely controlled those who were sent to Fang Shuoyang’s Mansion by others.
The reason why they hadn’t dealt with them yet was because it was not the right time!
Meanwhile, in the past days, Long and Shi had also taken control of more than twenty officials, powerful or less, in the Imperial City.
The infiltrations of these officials were all connected. With them in hand, a net had been spread.
Long really had a sense of accomplishment when he did this.
No wonder these people in Eastern Darkness liked to make trouble in their dynasty. It turned out that watching ministers of other countries being instigated by themselves for profit or various other situations… Well, it really felt not bad!
However, Long knew better that he couldn’t trust any of them.
Senior General Wu was an exception though. He seemed to have been on Fang Shuoyang’s side.
Because of this, the seemingly quiet court of Eastern Darkness seemed to be broken!
Also, the Worship Ceremony in West Mountain was coming soon.
At present, many people in the Imperial City were already discussing this.
The Worship Ceremony was very grand in Eastern Darkness.
In addition, because Senior General Wu took side with Fang Shuoyang, some people who followed him also did the same.
Therefore, Fang Shuoyang had a lot of dinner parties during this period.
Because of this, he didn’t come back until late at night sometimes.
Xu You was a little angry about this.
On this night, Fang Shuoyang came back very late again, but Xu You was almost asleep.
When he entered the room, Xu You was awakened immediately.
Fang Shuoyang walked over, while Xu You’s face wrinkled suddenly upon smelling a strong smell of wine. “How much did you drink this time?”
Fang Shuoyang smiled bitterly. “A lot. Didn’t I tell you not to wait for me and sleep early?”
Xu You stared at him, “It’s easy for you to say! Don’t you think I hope the same?!”
Fang Shuoyang knew he was wrong, so touched his nose in embarrassment.
Xu You leaned over, and then his face darkened when he smelt women’s makeup mixed with the smell of wine.
“Why does it smell like women’s makeup?”
Fang Shuoyang smiled bitterly. “I didn’t do anything. Other people asked some women to serve them. Although I didn’t let anyone get near, the space was so small that I have their smell on me.”
Xu You pouted, and said unhappily, “Yeah, you always got some business to do!”
Fang Shuoyang explained innocently, “I have to.”
Xu You snorted coldly. “I hate men the most when they say they are out of choice after entertaining themselves with good wines and beautiful girls. Go sleep in your study.”
Fang Shuoyang’s face was a bit gloomy, “Don’t do this to me.”
But Xu You neither listened to his explanation nor looked at his sad expression. He just kicked him out of the room directly.
Fang Shuoyang’s mouth twitched.
However, his protest was invalid and he was still driven out in the end.
Long and Shi were “guarding” tonight.
Seeing Fang Shuoyang being kicked out, they both looked at each other gleefully.
Fang Shuoyang darkened his face slightly.
“Fourth Prince.” Long stepped forward. “What happened?”
Fang Shuoyang looked at Long speechlessly.
Although Long’s fake face was very serious, did he think Fang Shuoyang was blind?
Did he think that Fang Shuoyang couldn’t even see the smile in his eyes?
Long said solemnly, “Fourth Prince, do you want me to talk to Childe Xu? He has no sense of appreciation!”
Fang Shuoyang’s face suddenly became darker.
He thought to himself, “Long, you want to talk to him? Well, that will be a disaster. If I leave now, I may be able to have a good sleep tonight. But if you go talk to him, I’m afraid that I’ll have to cut my stomach and kill myself to show him my sincerity!”
Fang Shuoyang went to the study with a dark face for Long’s obvious schadenfreude.
Now that he was kicked out, what else could he do except for sleeping in the study?!
Long and Shi did not chase him, but guarded the room very dutifully.
In the room, Xu You was sulking alone and finally fell asleep with a pillow in his arms…
The next day, when Xu You came out of the room, there were clear dark circles under his eyes.
Long greeted him hurriedly.
“Childe Xu.”
Xu You blinked and yawned. “Well, you guarded outside all night?”
“Yes, this is my duty,” Long replied.
Xu You blinked again when he heard this. Although he had gotten used to the fact that Long had become a subordinate for the time being, he still had the urge to get goose bumps every time Long acted as a guardian.
And, he also felt very uncomfortable!
“Ahem.” Xu You coughed.
Seeing this, Long hurriedly asked, “Childe Xu, did you catch a cold? Do you want me to send for a doctor?”
“Don’t bother.” Xu You waved his hand immediately. “Go have a rest.”
“As you command. Childe Xu, thank you for your understanding.” Long and Shi left.
Xu You did not go find Fang Shuoyang, but Fang Shuoyang came to him.
Fang Shuoyang didn’t sleep well last night as well. He was not used to sleep without Xu You by his side!
“Xu You.”
“What?” Xu You’s face was still a bit gloomy.
Fang Shuoyang hurriedly explained, “Xu You, have you cooled down?”
Xu You rolled his eyes against him, “No! I’m going to have breakfast now. Don’t follow me!”
Fang Shuoyang got no chance to say more.
Xu You went to breakfast, so Fang Shuoyang followed with bitterness on his face…
There was no morning court today, so Fang Shuoyang was very available.
Long took Shi back to their room to rest.
When they lay on the bed, Long held Shi tightly in his arms.
He embraced Shi so tight that the latter couldn’t help raising his eyebrows, “What’s wrong?”
Long explained, “If I hold you harder, you won’t be able to run away.”
“I’m here, and I don’t intend to run,” Shi said lightly.
“That’s different. I still have to hold you tight.” Long said rascally.
Shi couldn’t help rolling his eyes when he heard this, but he didn’t refute him.
His obedient tacit approval made Long very happy, so Long went up to kiss him, and then hugged him tighter.
Shi was speechless.
Long slept for eight hours with Shi in his arms.
When they woke up, they were starved!
After Long was awake, he dragged Shi to get up, “Qingzhou, I am starving to death. Let’s go!”
Shi was dragged away helplessly. “Slow down! Don’t fall!”
Long turned his head helplessly. “How is it possible!”
When the two arrived at the place designated for them guards to have meals, Ying Feng was already there.
“You are here. I was going to see you.”
“Ha, no need. We wake up when we are hungry.”
“I’ll get some food for you.”
“Thank you very much then.” Long smiled heartily.
At this time, the other two guards also came in from outside.
When Ying Feng bypassed them, he said hello naturally. “You are here… I’ll get us some food.”
The two nodded hastily. “Thank you.”
Ying Feng left without saying more.
Long was very restrained when he saw others present.
He had already let go of Shi’s hand at this time.
“You are here.” Long also smiled and greeted the two who came in.
Those two were also very polite to Long and Shi.
“Yeah, did you just wake up?”
“Uh huh.” Long yawned. “If you lack sleep at night, it won’t be easy to make up during the day.”
“That makes sense.” The two smiled. “But we can change shifts in two days.”
“Yes.” Long smiled. “You two will have to suffer several tough days by then.”
“It’s an honor to serve Fourth Prince. There is no suffering.”
They were indeed conscientious… Long blinked secretly. He even felt the two were very sincere.
The Shadow guardian came over with the belated lunch.
Long gulped it down, which made people feel a little scary.
However, they were all adult men, so it didn’t matter that he ate like this.
After Long filled his stomach, he finally put his bowl down.
At that time, he was a little stuffed.
Shi didn’t eat much. He didn’t have the appetite as good as that of Long.
After lunch, the other two greeted Long and left.
Ying Feng was the fastest who finished his lunch, and left when Long and the others were still eating.
However, when Long was thinking about whether he should take Shi for a walk, Ying Feng returned and said to them directly, “Fourth Prince summons both of you.”
