Chapter 141 - Something Strange in South Mountain (II)



The two of them went outside hand and hand. Long said, “Servants, bring breakfast here.”

The breakfast was soon delivered. At a glance, Shi found that a eunuch wanted to speak something but stopped. After thinking about it, Shi didn’t ask that eunuch.

Without noticing anything, Long just sat down to eat.

Shi sat down with Long.

Both of them were very hungry, so they had a lot of food and didn’t talk while eating.

After both of them finished eating, a servant sent the memorials there.

Looking at the stack of memorials, Long curled his lips and thinking that there were so many things to deal with.

Long complained in a low voice, but Shi heard it and smiled.

Then, Long said before going to the study, “Qingzhou, I’ll go to the study. If you have nothing else to do, you can go out for a walk or go to rest. You don’t need to go with me.”

At ordinary times, Shi would go to the study with Long if he had nothing else to do.

But this day, Shi nodded. “Okay, I know.”

Long didn’t think much about it, because they didn’t deal with the memorials together every day. Then, Long went to the study.

As Long’s figure disappeared, Shi said, “Come here.”

A eunuch and a maid came together. “Master.” They said at the same time.

There were no other people there except them and the Shadow Guardians were staying outside, so Shi asked directly, “What’s the matter? Say it.”

“We don’t know what happened to Zhou Huan and Zhou Yu’er in South Mountain, but Zhou Huan rolled down from it and was seriously injured. The imperial doctor hurried to see her at night, but she is still unconscious.”

Shi was stunned, because he didn’t expect that such a thing would happen to Zhou Huan.

Shi slightly frowned. “Why did Zhou Huan and Zhou Yu’er go to South Mountain?”

Hearing this, the eunuch immediately said, “They seemed to be looking for something. The Shadow Guardians had been following them, but they didn’t see how Zhou Huan fell.”

“Huh? How many Shadow Guardians followed them?” Shi knitted his brows.

“Three. There were still some under the mountain,” the eunuch said at once.

“Three Shadow Guardians followed them, but they didn’t see how Zhou Huan fell?” Shi sounded a little unhappy.

The eunuch said, “It seems that Zhou Huan was blocked by Zhou Yu’er and something else when the accident happened. The Shadow Guardians didn’t tell us clearly and they also said that there seemed to be something strange in South Mountain, which is under investigation.”

“Oh? There is something strange in South Mountain?” Shi raised his eyebrows.

“Yes, that’s what they said, but they didn’t say what that was.”

Shi thought about it and waved. “Well, you can leave.”

The eunuch left with the maid.

After thinking for a while in the hall alone, Shi went to the study.

In the study, Long was concentrating on dealing with state affairs. Shi went over and smiled at the door when he saw how careful Long was.

Long was so focused that he didn’t even notice his empress coming.

Shi went in. “Something happened to Zhou Huan. She fell from South Mountain. I’ll go to have a look.”

“What?” Long was surprised. “She fell from the mountain? Is it serious?”

“She rolled down the mountain and I guess she might get some bruises. She’s unconscious now, so I’ll go to have a look.” Shi understated it.

“It’s like this...” Long nodded. “All right, you go ahead.”

Shi smiled. Without saying anything, he went out.

Long continued to deal with the memorials after Shi left.

After changing his clothes in the palace, Shi left through the secret passage with his men...

At noon, Long had lunch alone, because Shi hadn’t come back.

Long summoned a Shadow Guardian to ask about Zhou Huan’s condition. “How is Zhou Huan now?”

“She’s comatose, but the doctor said that her life isn’t in danger.”

“Okay.” Long nodded and touched his chin.

Why did Zhou Huan and Zhou Yu’er go to South Mountain?

No. Why did Zhou Yu’er bring Zhou Huan to South Mountain? Just to make Zhou Huan get hurt reasonably?

Long felt this whole thing was a little strange.

He puckered his lips and temporarily put the problem aside after lunch.

As for Shi, he did not go directly to Zhou Huan after he went out of the palace, but to Tianji Sect.

He talked with Zou Qingyuan for about two hours before he left there. However, when he left, he met that woman, Wu Xiangyuan, again.

“Brother Shi.” Wu saw that Shi was alone and her bright eyes were filled with sadness.

Shi slightly frowned. He looked at her and said politely, “Miss Wu.”

“Brother Shi, we haven’t seen each other for many years... Can we have a chat?”

Wu said that in a very low voice, as if she was grasping the last straw and she couldn’t survive if Shi refused her.

Hearing that, Shi said, “Men and women should keep distance. I have something important to do today, so I can’t chat with you, Miss Wu. Goodbye.”

Hearing Shi’s cold words, Wu immediately paled.

Shi didn’t stay longer and left.

Wu lowered her head. She pinched herself hard and tried not to make herself fall with a lot of strength.

Wu’s maid hurriedly held her. “Mistress!”

Wu smiled helplessly. “I’m fine. Let’s go back.”

The maid was very worried. “Mistress... that man is so ungrateful.”

Wu shook her head. “Brother Shi... It’s impossible for us to be together...”

Wu didn’t say anything more and she looked very pale. Many people who had seen that felt pity for her, but they didn’t dare to go to fight Shi.

Shi was received by the guardian in person. They knew what that meant...

Wu went back to her room with the maid. “Well, you can leave. I want to have some private time.”

The maid was still a little worried, but she said nothing and went out.

After the maid left, Wu gradually calmed down.

After a long time, she waved her hand in the air while a strange and bright smile appeared on her face.

It was really unintelligible.

Shi knew nothing about Wu’s changes. It was almost lunch time when he got out from Tianji Sect.

Shi went to Zhou Huan’s place. Instead of going to see Zhou Huan immediately, he asked servants to prepare some food for him first.

After the food was delivered, Shi leisurely had his fill and then went to visit Zhou Huan.
