《Rebirth As a Fatuous And Self-indulgent Ruler》C20. How Great His Empress Was!
Advertisement
Having finished the delayed breakfast, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou handled the memorials to the throne in the study.
Long Xiaoyuan handled a few of them, leaving most of them to Shi Qingzhou.
Minister Zhong and Minister Zhou came to the Qiankun Palace before evening.
Long Xiaoyuan met them with a teacup in his hand in the front hall and listened to their report.
“Pa!” The teacup was hit on the ground, making the two immediately kneel on the ground.
“Your Majesty, please punish us. We deserve death!”
“You two indeed deserve death!” said Long Xiaoyuan. “Having investigated it so long, you tell me that a palace maid and a eunuch conspired to poison Lady Shan...I want to know why. Did Lady Shan kill her father or grab his wife? How dare they poison Lady Shan!”
The faces of Zhong Ming and Zhou Xianwen turn very pale. “Your Majesty...” said they with a shiver.
“Do you think it’s the result? Have you really investigated it to the bottom?” Long Xiaoyuan’s voice turned more indifferent.
“Your Majesty, please forgive us who didn’t do it carefully. We’ll spare no effort to investigate it,” said they in unison. Now, they were deeply afraid of being punished by His Majesty.
Long Xiaoyuan said coldly, “Excuse yourselves fast.”
“Yes! Yes! We’re off to go!”
Long Xiaoyuan clenched his fists with his lips pursed and walked inside after they left trembling.
Although he had anticipated that the two wouldn’t do their best, and he also wanted to utilize this chance to purge some disloyal ministers, it never occurred to him that they tried to fool him with a eunuch and a palace maid. Did they really consider him a moron?
When he walked inside in fury, Shi Qingzhou approached him and said, “Your Majesty, you don’t need to be mad. It’ll be bad if you’re unhealthy.”

Long Xiaoyuan took a deep breath. “Qingzhou, I’m disappointed.”
Shi Qingzhou slowly lowered his eyelids after a pause. “Your Majesty, the purge can’t be fulfilled in one or two days. Take your time and you’ll make it.”
Long Xiaoyuan fixed his eyes on Shi Qingzhou and held the latter into his arms before asking gently, “Then, Qingzhou, can you help with it?”
Shi Qingzhou firmly looked back at him and said more gently, “Your Majesty, how do you want me to help you?”
“Be my valuable assistant, my virtuous empress, and the second General Wenyuan,” uttered Long Xiaoyuan word by word with his profound eyes looking into Shi’s.
Shi Qingzhou almost held his breath. For an instant, they did nothing but look at each other like time was frozen at the moment.
As time was gone, Long Xiaoyuan still stubbornly stared at Shi Qingzhou who then finally said a word lightly.
“Okay...” Long Xiaoyuan felt relaxed with relief and kissed Shi Qingzhou after abruptly pulling Shi into his arms.
“Hum...” Shi Qingzhou slightly murmured, which enable Long Xiaoyuan’s tongue to enter into his mouth.
After a long time, Shi Qingzhou got his cheeks dyed red.
Long Xiaoyuan was attracted to him and said in a muffled voice, “Qingzhou, don’t call me ‘Your Majesty’ when we’re alone. Call me yuan, can you?”
Shi Qingzhou paused for a while and lowered his eyelids, red-eared.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled and flirted with his empress by kissing his empress’ ears. “Qingzhou, call me.”
Shi Qingzhou didn’t do that, so Long Xiaoyuan patiently waited for him. “Qingzhou...”
After a long time, Shi Qingzhou eventually said, “Yuan...”
What he said made Long Xiaoyuan’s heart tremble. Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help pulling his empress and violently kissed his empress again...
Yes, his empress tasted great!
What Present Do You Want? ahead.

8 408Witchbone: The Goblins Winter
Themes found in these stories include friendship, found family, defying negative expectations, trying to figure out how to be a force for good in your corner of the world, doing heroic things even if you don't look or feel like a hero, and that being different isn't necessarily fatal. Summary: A spell of arctic weather. A mysterious death. The reading of a will. Strange tracks in the snow. Eleven-year-old Danny Hallow accepts his life, such as it is. His father is dead, his mother left years ago. His three Keepers are the only people aware of Danny's erratic and not-very-impressive psychic abilities. He has no friends, he's been suspended from school, and he's responsible for the life of a small brown bat that's ended up in his care. When Danny's estranged Uncle Enoch dies under mysterious circumstances, he and his Keepers are called to the town of Eddystone, New Hampshire for the reading of the man's will. Traveling four hundred miles from his dreaded hometown to attend, Danny is happy to get away, possibly inherit something interesting- and maybe find out more about his family while he's there. Arriving at the crumbling family estate of Gnomewood Home, he finds it to be hauntingly familiar, a bit creepy, oddly comforting, and possibly alive. When his uncle's will reveals that he's inherited Gnomewood and everything in it, he's determined to stay and make a happier life for himself in Eddystone, somehow. But at Gnomewood, he finds more questions than answers to his family's secrets. Disturbing old memories come to him in dreams. His psychic abilities begin to grow stronger, and as a result he becomes aware that a horde of cryptic creatures are plaguing the town of Eddystone, seemingly drawn out by the spell of an unusually frigid February. Toothy little goblins that are sneaky, vicious, and hungry. Goblins that take a particular interest in Danny. Will the emergence of the alien, and potentially dangerous, power he's inherited from his peculiar family tree help Danny survive the goblin infested winter, inadvisable attempts to befriend a terrifying boy with silver eyes, and a new school? Only if he learns to control them before they put him and everyone around him in danger. Before they convince some people that he should never have been allowed to exist at all. Before he becomes just another twisted tale in his family's bizarre history, kept hidden for centuries within the ivy-covered walls of Gnomewood Home.
