The next day, when Long Xiaoyuan woke up, Shi Qingzhou was still sleeping.
Glancing at the people around him, Long Xiaoyuan's gaze was soft.
Getting up carefully, without disturbing Shi Qingzhou, Long Xiaoyuan didn't start dressing until he got outside.
The one serving him was Liu Xiangyang, this person should know something, Long Xiaoyuan felt that Liu Xiangyang was a little more respectful than usual this morning.
It's not that Liu Xiangyang was disrespectful in the past, but... Liu Xiangyang was a little more casual in the past, but today Liu Xiangyang is very strict, as if he was afraid of making mistakes.
Long Xiaoyuan glanced at the people around him, and said calmly, "Zhou Qing is dead."
Liu Xiangyang's body trembled slightly, but he quickly restrained himself and knelt down. "Yes, the servant knows."
Long Xiaoyuan's tone became even lighter. "You're scared?"
Liu Xiangyang froze, this time he didn't speak immediately.
Long Xiaoyuan didn't speak again, and after about a few seconds, Liu Xiangyang said: "Your Majesty, my servant can know what's wrong with Zhou... What's wrong with him?" Long Xiaoyuan said flatly: "A traitor."
Liu Xiangyang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this servant must keep his duty and be loyal..."
"Then there's nothing to be afraid of." Long Xiaoyuan interrupted him lightly.
Liu Xiangyang was slightly taken aback. Then the fine man immediately understood.
Since he is loyal and sticks to his duty, there is nothing to be afraid of.
When he understood, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Xiaoyuan turned indifferently and walked outside, "Okay, it's time to go up."
"Yes, the servant is coming." Liu Xiangyang's voice became more relaxed.
Liu Xiangyang's position as deputy chief executive was actually promoted by Zhou Qing, so he was a little bit worried about Zhou Qing's death before this morning, because he didn't know why the emperor who had always trusted Zhou Qing suddenly...
But now, the word "traitor" made Liu Xiangyang understand what Zhou Qing had done.
Although he didn't know what Zhou Qing did in detail, but the nature was there, traitor, what a crime this was, and he couldn't escape death.
And high above, the most honorable emperor in the world actually explained because of his little fear!
Not only explained, but also told him implicitly, as long as he doesn't do what he shouldn't do, there is no need to be afraid!
At this moment, Liu Xiangyang felt that even if he died for the emperor immediately, it would be worth it. Not following the wrong master is the greatest comfort in a slave's life.
In the past, the emperors were irritable and fatuous, and their servants were all cautious and careful, but if they accidentally fell on themselves, the lighter ones were punches and kicks, and the heavier ones were boards and death.
They are slaves, so naturally they can't do anything but endure.
And the current emperor... is Mingjun!
Liu Xiangyang's eyes were a little wet, he quickly collected his mood, and then followed Long Xiaoyuan's footsteps...
After the two left, Shi Qingzhou on the bed opened his eyes.
His internal strength was very high, so he could hear even the slightest movement outside under the silence.
Naturally, he heard Long Xiaoyuan's words, and then he slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
Although Liu Xiangyang is just a slave, even if the emperor doesn't say anything, it should be right.
And it will be more unpredictable in this way, so that people dare not offend the majesty of the emperor, but if it is about his confidants, he will always put on airs, and will always be on top.
Then, even though he is an emperor, even if he can get heartfelt and awe, he will not have sincerity.
And now, that Liu Xiangyang, I'm afraid his whole heart is on Long Xiaoyuan, right
In the future, I will definitely serve and do things more wholeheartedly.
It's actually that simple to subdue a slave, as long as that slave is worth it.
Shi Qingzhou, who raised the corners of his lips, did not get up in a hurry, but closed his eyes again.
He intends to take a sleep back in the cage.
So, when Long Xiaoyuan came back from morning court, what he found was his queen who was still sleeping.
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Long Xiaoyuan walked towards the bedroom.
Shi Qingzhou was still sleeping, Long Xiaoyuan walked over and sat down on the edge of the big bed.
Shi Qingzhou still showed no sign of waking up, Long Xiaoyuan found it interesting, and immediately leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
The moment the lips touched, the person on the bed opened his eyes.
Long Xiaoyuan raised the corners of his mouth, and then deepened the kiss...
"Well..." Shi Qingzhou blinked, but felt Long Xiaoyuan's eagerness, so he slowly closed his eyes.
Originally, Long Xiaoyuan just wanted to kiss, but he didn't think about it, this kiss... It was as if his body was on fire. As a result, the movements became more chaotic.
When the clothes were taken off, Shi Qingzhou slightly raised his head to stop it. "It's almost time for breakfast."
Long Xiaoyuan said hoarsely: "It doesn't matter, eat it after cooking."
Shi Qingzhou blinked, seeing Long Xiaoyuan fell into passion, and finally did not reject him.
Thus, Long Xiaoyuan pounced on him... contentedly devouring his queen...
After a long time, Long Xiaoyuan picked up Shi Qingzhou, seeing how full the person in his arms was, he couldn't help but bow his head and kiss him on the forehead. "I'll take you to the shower."
Shi Qingzhou lazily said "um", and let Long Xiaoyuan hug him to take a bath.
Liu Xiangyang outside did not presume to pass the meal on a fixed-point basis, because he was afraid that it would taste bad when it was cold. Although it can be removed and reheated, it is not comfortable to eat directly hot.
No, seeing Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou coming out, Liu Xiangyang immediately ordered the meal to be delivered.
Long Xiaoyuan was satisfied with the caring actions of the people under his command.
Liu Xiangyang was originally the deputy manager, but now that Zhou Qing died, Liu Xiangyang was officially promoted to the manager.
As for the deputy manager, Liu Xiangyang's confidant, Xiaoxizi, was promoted.
This little Xizi is also an old man in the palace, she entered the palace when she was nine years old, and it has been twenty years now.
Xiao Xizi helped set meals, Long Xiaoyuan took Shi Qingzhou's hand and sat down at the dining table.
Shi Qingzhou has been tossed all morning, and now he is also hungry.
Long Xiaoyuan graciously arranged breakfast for Shi Qingzhou, and Shi Qingzhou ate very happily.
Not long after, Shi Qingzhou drank two bowls of porridge.
Long Xiaoyuan also ate a lot...
When the two of them were finishing their breakfast, the strange doctor came.
Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou let people in.
The strange doctor came in, and his face was not very good.
This is really too strange, you know, this strange doctor's martial arts and internal strength are extremely high, even if he didn't sleep all night last night, he wouldn't look like this now!
Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked at each other, thinking that something must have happened.
Long Xiaoyuan spoke first. "Doctor Liu doesn't look very well, did you not sleep well last night?"
The strange doctor waved his hand upon hearing this. "It's not that I didn't sleep well, it's that I was poisoned."
The other party's tone was too relaxed, as if they were asking if they had breakfast, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were slightly taken aback for a moment, and then both were startled. "What did you say?"
"You heard me right, I was poisoned." The strange doctor said weakly.
Long Xiaoyuan heard the words and immediately said: "Doctor Liu, what's going on? How did you get poisoned? Can you cure it?"
Shi Qingzhou also said: "Doctor Liu, how could you be poisoned?"
The strange doctor pouted. "It's normal. If you want to study something, you must be prepared to be poisoned. Otherwise, how do you study it?"
The other party's tone was too natural, and Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. The strange doctor smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me, such a bit of poison can't trouble me." Yes, I'm here to tell you that the eunuch died not because of poison, but because of Gu, which is much more terrifying than poison. This palace needs to be cleaned up, otherwise, it will be miserable."
"Gu?" Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were surprised again.
The strange doctor nodded. "Well, but fortunately, there are many necessary conditions for this kind of Gu to survive in the human body, and it can also prevent problems before they happen. Therefore, if more people in the palace are not poisoned by the Gu poison, something needs to be done. "
"Doctor Liu, please tell me how to do it, I will definitely get someone to cooperate." Long Xiaoyuan said sincerely.
The strange doctor was very satisfied with Long Xiaoyuan's attitude and nodded. "Okay, you need a lot of vinegar and wine, you need a lot of chili peppers, and you need a few medicinal materials, but these medicinal materials should be available in the hospital."
"Okay, I'll let someone prepare." Long Xiaoyuan said immediately.
When the strange doctor went to work on the anti-gu poison, Zhang Yuan came over.
Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou asked in detail about the strange doctor's participation in the research, and then they got Zhang Yuan's almost adoring response. The corners of Long Xiaoyuan's and Shi Qingzhou's mouths twitched slightly.
Zhang Yuan admired the strange doctor very much, so his rhetoric was basically a compliment to the strange doctor's medical skills.
Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou listened for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the strange doctor, they let Zhang Yuan go down.
On this day, everyone in the palace spent their time pinching their noses.
The medicine formulated by the strange doctor to prevent Gu worms smells as bad as it wants!
Moreover, that medicine needs to be rubbed under the nose and behind the ears.
Even Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan couldn't escape.
Zhang Yuan and several imperial physicians also participated in the dispensing of the medicine. Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan were the last to apply it. After all, their identities are special, so it is necessary to make sure that the medicine is safe.
It was evening when Long Xiaoyuan applied the medicine.
"Such a pungent smell is really terrible." Long Xiaoyuan couldn't help but said.
Shi Qingzhou smiled wryly. "Why do I think that strange doctor did it on purpose? Maybe he has a way to make a medicine that will never be so pungent."
"Will it be?" Long Xiaoyuan blinked, "But he seems to be the first one to apply this medicine?"
Shi Qingzhou blinked. "Perhaps he deactivated his nose briefly."
"Haha." Long Xiaoyuan laughed. "Qingzhou, you don't believe him so much."
"It has nothing to do with trust or not, but with his character." Shi Qingzhou said.
"Okay." Long Xiaoyuan fanned the wind under his nose with his hands. After a while, the choking feeling disappeared. "Qingzhou, it's almost time for dinner, isn't it?"
"Well, what's the matter? Are you hungry?" Shi Qingzhou asked immediately.
"That's not true." Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "I was thinking, should I ask Dr. Liu to have dinner?"
Shi Qingzhou froze for a moment, then narrowed his eyes. "Why?"
Long Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Of course I thank him."
Although he said "Of course thank him", the light in Long Xiaoyuan's eyes didn't feel like he was grateful.
Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't know what harm Long Xiaoyuan was thinking, he followed up and said, "Well, I want to thank you. I'll send someone to invite me."
In the Palace of Yushang, the strange doctor was a little surprised when he heard that the emperor and the empress had invited him to dinner.
He raised his eyebrows, but after pondering for a moment, he followed the eunuch who came.
The eunuch led the strange doctor to Kunning Palace.
The strange doctor went in, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were coming out, so they went up to meet him.
The strange doctor also didn't salute, and looked at the two people who came out with his signature half-smile expression.
Long Xiaoyuan was the first to smile and said, "Dr. Liu is here? You can have dinner soon."
"I haven't thanked the emperor and queen for the invitation yet." The strange doctor said with a smile.
Long Xiaoyuan laughed. "Doctor Liu is being polite, I should thank Doctor Liu for his work of guarding the palace."
Shi Qingzhou heard the words and said: "Yes, Dr. Liu has contributed a lot."
The strange doctor looked at Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan suspiciously. These two people, especially Queen Shi Qingzhou, shouldn't be such polite people!
This thing looks weird!
However, these two people shouldn't hurt him... In this case, let's see what these two people want to do!
So, with the attitude of what comes and goes, the strange doctor sat at the dining table.
When the dishes were served, the strange doctor knew the reason for the two people's "gracious invitation".
Sweet and sour, hot and sour, sweet and sour, hot and sour…
The whole table dishes are inseparable from these two flavors!
This is also the smell that permeates the palace today.
The corner of the strange doctor's mouth twitched slightly. The two of them wanted to treat him like this...
However, I have to say, this effect is really good.
Looking at this table of food, the strange doctor really couldn't eat it!
And what about Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou
They were eating their custard, and they were eating it from jade bowls carved with dragons. That, represents the emperor and empress, can only be qualified to use the symbol.
The strange doctor really wanted to say, I want to eat custard too!
However, on the whole table, there were only those two egg custards, which were exclusive to the emperor and empress.
In the end, the strange doctor could only eat the food on the table aggrieved.
In my heart, I was a little dumbfounded.
The way the emperor and queen treat people... is really ingenious.
But don't say it, it's really useful!
After dinner, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were smiling when they saw the strange doctor's disheveled face.
They have no appetite for dinner, so it's just right to add egg custard to plain rice.
And Long Xiaoyuan was very "hospitable" during the dinner, desperately adding vegetables to the strange doctor's bowl.
In the end, the strange doctor almost vomited!
When the strange doctor left with a disheveled face, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked at each other, and then burst out laughing.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled and hugged Shi Qingzhou tightly.
"Qingzhou, are you relieved now?"
"Yeah." Shi Qingzhou nodded with a smile. "Very relieved!"
Long Xiaoyuan laughed again when he heard the words...
