Chapter 73: Plot of the Couple (I)
The imperial doctor arrived. He checked on the emperor and applied so ointnt on his arm, but his injury wasn’t serious.
Shi replaced the dislocated joints of Long’s arm in ti, so there was no big problem.
But in fact, Long was a well-fed modern person who hadn’t suffered much hardship. In addition, he was an emperor in the current life. So, he seldom suffered any injuries.
Therefore, when his arm was out of joint... he felt extrely hurt!
After the doctor was ordered to leave, Shi looked at Long apologetically.
“Are you all right?”
Seeing that Shi was very guilty, Long gave a long sigh. “Don’t worry, I’m fine...”
Shi still felt very sorry and sat on the edge of the bed. Long was lying on the bed in pajamas. He had taken off his night cloak before the doctor arrived.
Long sat up from the bed and Shi was shocked. “Why are you sitting up?”
Long smiled bitterly. “Well, although I’m not as manly as you, great general, it’s okay for to sit up, alright?”
Shi found it very funny. “What do you an by ‘not manly’?”
Long curled his lips. “Well, I’m the emperor. I haven’t suffered much since I was a child, so... I’m afraid of pain.”
Shi couldn’t help laughing.
Long got mad because of embarrassnt. “Why are you laughing? It’s normal, okay? Only you are here, so I just told the truth. I won’t say that to anyone else.”
“All right.” Shi slightly raised the corners of his mouth, “Well... is it still painful after the ointnt was applied?”
Long shook his head. “The imperial doctor’s dicine works well. I feel much better now. I also feel cool on my wrist.”
Shi nodded. “It was all your fault. You were silent, so I thought you were a sneaky assassin. Your footsteps sounded a little weird. Otherwise, I’d hit you more severely.”
Speaking of that, Shi felt a little worried.
Earlier, he just reacted instinctively. Because when he felt soone want to touch him, he twisted his arm. If he didn’t do that, but directly fight back with the dagger hidden under the mattress, would Long still be alive?
Long knew that he was wrong, so he only blinked innocently. “Qingzhou, I didn’t think so much... I just wanted to give you a surprise...”
Shi didn’t look good, because he was both angry and frightened. “But you gave a fright!”
Long touched his nose and had to smile to please Shi.
Shi couldn’t do anything to him. “It’s so late. Have a good rest.”
Long nodded. “Okay, Qingzhou, co to join .”
Shi nodded. “Okay.”
After cleaning up the place, Shi took off his outerwear and didn’t blow out the candle. He was afraid that he couldn’t see it when there was sothing wrong with Long.
Long hugged Shi in bed and fell asleep.
Shi cautiously avoided Long’s injured arm. In fact, he wanted to ask Long not to hold him for fear of accidentally touching his arm, but Long insisted on it. At last, Shi was convinced by the expression in Long’s eyes and allowed him to hold him while sleeping.
That night, Shi Qingzhou slept very cautiously. He was afraid that he would touch Long’s arm if he moved.
The next day, when Long woke up, he had already missed the morning eting. Therefore, he just didn’t get up.
His arm was still a little painful and numb. He didn’t know if it was because of the ointnt last night.
Shi was not around. He felt the temperature in the quilt beside him and found it was cold. It seed that Shi had left for a while, but he didn’t even know when he got up!
After sitting up from the bed, Long touched his arm and frowned.
Just then, Shi went in from outside.
“Your Majesty, you’re awake.” Shi went there quickly.
Long blinked and looked over. “Yes... You got up very early?”
Shi shook his head. “No, just a mont ago. The breakfast is ready. Your Majesty, does your arm still hurt? Do you want to eat here or in the hall?”
Long looked at the sky outside. “Is the morning eting finished?”
“Yes, it’s finished. I told them Your Majesty didn’t feel well.”
Long thought about it and leaned back. “Well, then I won’t go out. Let’s just eat here.”
“Okay, I’ll have the servants bring the food here,” Shi said imdiately.
Then, Shi turned to leave and ordered the servants to bring the breakfast there.
Long put on his coat. After Shi went in, he put a pillow behind his back.
“It’s late autumn and winter is coming soon. Your Majesty, you just hurt your arm. Don’t get cold,” Shi said.
Long nodded. “Yes, I know.”
Shi tucked the coat for Long.
The servants brought in their breakfast and put it on the small table.
Then, Shi didn’t let them stay, but ask all of them to leave.
Long looked at Shi with his eyes wide open. Shi almost burst into laughter.
“Your Majesty, why are you looking at like that?”
“Qingzhou, didn’t you say you felt very sorry last night?” Long said seriously.
“Yes?” Shi raised eyebrows. “So what?”
“Since you felt sorry, of course you have to do sothing to compensate for it!” Long said more seriously.
Shi smiled. “So?”
“So, feed , Qingzhou,” Long concluded.
After hearing that, Shi looked at Long smilingly. Long was cheeky, but he felt embarrassed at that mont. He coughed and was about to say sothing, but Shi said, “Okay.”
“What?” Long was surprised. For a mont, he thought that there was sothing wrong with his ears.
However, it turned out that his ears were all right, because Shi had turned around to take porridge carefully.
Afraid of being scalded, Shi put a towel at the bottom of the bowl. He put the spoon in and stirred it.
That was shredded chicken porridge. The imperial chef was specially ordered to make it not too salty, but light.
The at was lean at of the chicken. It really took a lot of effort to get the ingredient.
Shi fed Long with the spoon slowly.
Long looked at Shi and ate it obediently. He felt that... he was truly happy!
He finally understood what a blessing in disguise was!
Although his arm was hurt, his empress beca so gentle! That’s wonderful!
He used to like the domineering empress, but at present, he liked the gentle type more!
Long was in a good mood and had two bowls of porridge in one go. He also ate two small stead buns with vegetable stuffing.
Later, Long said with concern, “Qingzhou, I’m full. You’d better eat it now, or it will be cold soon.”
“Don’t worry. It’s in the cup. It won’t be cold in half an hour,” Shi said.
Still feeling uneasy, Long said, “Just eat it.”
“Okay, I’ll eat it.” Shi no longer insisted. He turned to sit at the small table and began to eat slowly.
Long quietly watched his empress having porridge and didn’t feel bored at all.
Since Shi practiced martial arts and was a great master, how could he not notice Long’s attention?
But he just thought that... if Long wanted to look at him, then let him be!
