《Rebirth As a Fatuous And Self-indulgent Ruler》C14. Being Sick
Advertisement
Long Xiaoyuan woke up the next day with a very severe headache.
Besides, he felt dizzy and awful the moment he touched his forehead. Damn it! His forehead was so hot!
Shi Qingzhou woke up at the moment, too. Seeing Long touch his forehead, he hurriedly leaned over and said, “Your Majesty, what’s wrong? Do you have a headache?”
Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips’ corners and said, “En, it hurts.” His voice was so tender like he was playing coquetry.
Welcome to read all of the updated chapters of Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler on Flying Lines.
Shi Qingzhou paused for a while, felt his heart softened, and immediately said, “It’s a hangover headache. Call up an imperial physician.”
Long Xiaoyuan nodded his head and said, “I seem to have a fever.”
Shi Qingzhou felt shocked with his expression slightly changed. “What? A fever? Let me touch it.”
As he spoke, he already stretched out his hand and shouted with surprise after touching it, “So hot!”
Long Xiaoyuan leaned against him. “No wonder it hurts...Qingzhou, your hand is comfortable.” He held Shi’s hand and placed it on his forehead.
Shi asked Zhou Qing, who had waited outside, to come inside and ordered him to call up an imperial physician.
Hearing that Long Xiaoyuan got a fever, Zhou Qing hurriedly went out to call up an imperial physician. Shi himself quickly got up, put on his clothes, and ordered the palace maids to fetch water.
Shi personally used a handkerchief to wipe Long’s sweat and put it on Long’s forehead.
When he saw Shi getting busy, Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes turned gentle.
The imperial physician arrived soon, and Long Xiaoyuan was diagnosed with a cold. Subsequently, the imperial physician prescribed some herbal medicine and asked his underlings to decoct it.

Hearing that he would take medicine, Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable. In his previous life, he never stopped eating medicine because of his unhealthy heart. However, what he ate was western medicine, so he found it not difficult to take pills, but he disliked the bitter herbal medicine.
He had no appetite at breakfast, but he forced himself ate a bowl of porridge and two snacks so as to get well.
Shi Qingzhou ate little, which made Long Xiaoyuan instantly wrinkle his eyebrows. “Qingzhou, I’m waiting for you to look after me. Why not eat more? What if you are sick?”
“Your Majesty, please rest assured. I’ll be fine,” said Shi Qingzhou lightly.
Long was still concerned about him and thereby watched him eat one more bowl of porridge. Shi Qingzhou had mixed feelings.
The herbal medicine was served shortly. With his eyebrows tightly furrowed, Long Xiaoyuan drank it in one gulp and almost chocked himself, which scared the eunuchs and palace maids so much that they knelt down on the ground. Even if His Majesty coughed once, they would be killed.
However, it was the original emperor who would do this. Long Xiaoyuan didn’t like killing people...
After that, Long Xiaoyuan ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to back down and said, “Qingzhou, I’m afraid you have to deal with the memorials yourself today, and you can handle them here.”
“...OK,” Shi Qingzhou said yes to him.
After Zhou Qing sent the memorials over, Shi sat on the bed to handle them. Thus, an extra table had been placed on the bed.
Seeing Shi Qingzhou seriously working, Long Xiaoyuan was reminded of one sentence that the people who worked hard were the most beautiful. He had no feelings about it before but now found it quite reasonable!

As he watched Shi, he fell into sleep...
When Shi looked back, he saw Long Xiaoyuan who was soundly sleeping and felt complicated.
After a long time, he looked away...
If Long Xiaoyuan could treat him this way all the time, he would like to swear his allegiance to Long as long as Long Xiaoyuan would let him down.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
