Reborn to be a Self-indulgent Ruler - C42

In Long Xiaoyuan’s previous twenty-six years of life, he had slept alone for over twenty years.

Coming here, in order to protect his life, he always shared a bed with Shi Qingzhou.

He kept tossing and turning, and he just couldn’t sleep! This is truly …

Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips, watching the time pass bit by bit. In the end, he still got up from the dragon bed, and casually put on his clothes.

Liu Xiangyang was waiting outside. Seeing that Long Xiaoyuan had come out, he was extremely surprised and immediately knelt down to greet him.

Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand indifferently. “Get up.”

“Your Majesty …”

“Yes.” Liu Xiangyang did not dare to ask Long Xiaoyuan why he was going to the Heaven and Earth Palace so late.

When Long Xiaoyuan arrived at the Heaven and Earth Palace, the palace maid standing guard outside immediately knelt down to pay his respects. Long Xiaoyuan did not bother with them and went back into his room.

Outside of Shi Qingzhou’s room stood a Young Eunuch, who was normally guarding outside.

Long Xiaoyuan knew the other party’s name. “Little Dong, you continue to stand guard. This Emperor will enter by himself.”

Long Xiaoyuan was afraid that the little Dong Zi’s startled cry would disturb the sleeping Shi Qingzhou, so he was the first to speak.

Long Xiaoyuan had only casually said those words in the beginning, but he did not expect that after he said those words, Little Dong Zi’s face turned pale and he kneeled down!

Long Xiaoyuan slightly narrowed his eyes. Hm? “What’s wrong?”

Little Dong Zi did not say anything, but kept on kowtowing.

Long Xiaoyuan’s face immediately darkened. “What’s going on?”

Little Dong Zi stuttered, “Your Majesty, this … this empress, he …”

Long Xiaoyuan thought that something had happened to Shi Qingzhou, and immediately could not care less about this Young Eunuch who could not even speak properly, and immediately went back inside.

He thought that Shi Qingzhou was sick, injured, or something was wrong …

Unexpectedly, what welcomed him was an empty room, a big bed … There was no one here!

Long Xiaoyuan was immediately stunned.

And now, Little Dong Zi was still desperately kowtowing outside.

Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips. He knew that palace concubines were not allowed to leave his palace during nightfall, so he was also well aware of this rule. Furthermore, before he went to the Imperial study, Shi Qingzhou had never told him that anything had happened during the night.

Long Xiaoyuan frowned, and said coldly: “Alright, you can go now.”

The little Dong Zi’s movements suddenly stopped. After a short moment, the other side still retreated. There was a pool of blood on the ground; it was caused by the other side kowtowing and breaking his scalp.

Long Xiaoyuan sat on the empty bed with pursed lips … Thinking of where Shi Qingzhou had gone to, and thinking of the novel that he had read before …

After a long while, Long Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh.
