Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler-Chapter 415: What Is Wrong with Him?

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Liu Suifeng followed Shi Qingzhou out.

Shi Qingzhou didn’t delay on the way and headed straight to the general’s mansion.

Liu Suifeng followed him.

When Liu Suifeng arrived at the general’s mansion, he frowned. “Wait a minute.”

Shi Qingzhou frowned as well. “What’s wrong?”

Liu Suifeng looked around and said slowly, “It doesn’t feel right here.”

Shi Qingzhou turned solemn. Those people were attacking his home? With a serious glint in his eyes, Shi Qingzhou immediately looked around carefully.

A moment later, he withdrew his gaze. “What’s the problem?”

Liu Suifeng thought about it and said. “It’s not human.”

Shi Qingzhou was taken aback. “Not human? What is it?”

Liu Suifeng said slowly. “It might be poison, or… venomous insect, I am not sure. If possible, ask Long Xiaoyuan to come over. He has the Golden King Insect in his body, so it should be easier to find the problem if he’s around.”

Long Xiaoyuan… Shi Qingzhou frowned and immediately objected. “No way! It is too dangerous.”

Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly. “It is not that easy to check in open space outside.”

Shi Qingzhou didn’t agree.

Liu Suifeng had to say. “Let’s go in and take a look first.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded faintly. “Okay. Let’s go in first.”

Liu Suifeng followed him.

Madam Shi was delighted to see Shi Qingzhou.

She took him to her room. Liu Suifeng did not follow him this time, planning to walk around in the mansion and having a good check.

Shi Qingzhou knew that he was going to check on the mansion, secretly nodding his agreement at him.

However, Liu Suifeng was not a member of the mansion after all. When he was about to reach the inner courtyard, the butler came to stop him.

“Sir, this is the inner courtyard.”

Liu Suifeng blinked. “Is it? It doesn’t matter. I’m at the order of the Empress. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask him.”

The butler was baffled, but he didn’t dare to stop Liu Suifeng at the mention of Shi Qingzhou.

However, he had to ask for a confirmation.

The butler personally went to Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou said lightly, “Let him do whatever he likes to do. Don’t stop him anywhere.”

The old butler was shocked when he heard this, breaking out in cold sweat. Shi Qingzhou’s words meanttoo much!

The old butler didn’t dare to ask any more questions, hurrying away.

Madam Shi’s face changed. After the old butler left, she couldn’t help but ask, “Qingzhou, what’s going on? Who is that person?”

Shi Qingzhou said slowly, “Mother, don’t worry. He is my friend. I ask him to check on our house.”

“Check?” Madam Shi was taken aback. “On what?”

Shi Qingzhou said softly, “The palace is not peaceful these days. My status is special, and I don’t want our home to become a target for some people, so I ask him to check if there are any evil things at our home.”

“Oh, I see…” Madam Shi feel slightly relieved, but she soon got worried.

“Qingzhou, what would be wrong with our home?”

Shi Qingzhou said slowly. “I don’t know for now, so the dishes need to be checked. Mother, don’t worry too much. The friend I bring with me has high medical skills, he will check it out.”

Madam Shi finally stopped talking about this.

Shi Qingzhou told her something else, and Madam Shi was filled with the joy at her son’s visit.

They chatted happily for more than an hour, and Madam Shi said, “Qingzhou, I’ve had your favorite snacks made, and I’ll ask the servants to bring them over.”

Shi Qingzhou came back to spend some time with his mother, and checked if there was anything wrong at home.

It looked like Liu Suifeng had not solved the problem at the moment. Otherwise he would at least show himself up. Therefore, Shi Qingzhou agreed. “Okay.”

Madam Shi then took Shi Qingzhou to the small dining room.

They didn’t go to the big dining room because it was not proper since it was not lunch time yet.

The small dining hall was a place to eat snacks and entertain guests.

After Shi Qingzhou took a seat, Madam Shi sat down with him.

The servants quickly brought the snacks that had been made.

“Qingzhou, they are fresh and hot. Have two more pieces, but you can’t eat too much. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t have the appetite for lunch later.”

“Okay,” Shi Qingzhou nodded. “I will have lunch here.”

“Good. Let’s have lunch at home.” Madam Shi said happily.

Shi Qingzhou ate two pieces of snacks. Sure enough, the taste wasn’t bad. Madam Shi also ate two pieces.

Madam Shi said, “The cook who makes these snacks has just been hired. He is from the Moon Tower. He is good, right?” Shi Qingzhou paused for a moment when he heard this. His eyes flashing across the snacks, he asked slowly, “The cook is from the Moon Tower?”

“Yeah, he’s from the Moon Tower. Isn’t he good?”

Shi Qingzhou said slowly, “Not bad.”

“Are there any new servants at home recently?” asked Shi Qingzhou.

Madam Shi thought for a moment and said, “Yes, there are three servants and an accountant.”

“Oh, I see.” Shi Qingzhou nodded without saying anything else.

Madam Shi didn’t doubt anything.

A short time afterwards, Madam Shi was called away by the butler for something.

Shi Qingzhou walked out of the dining room and called the guard captain over.

The captain arrived immediately, and Shi Qingzhou didn’t waste his breath.

“Call all the new comers who arrived within three months to go to… Moon Pavilion.”

Although the captain was puzzled, he quickly did what he was told.

Shi Qingzhou walked to the Moon Pavilion in the front yard of the mansion.

Then he had Liu Suifeng summoned over.

Liu Suifeng arrived when Shi Qingzhou arrived at the Moon Pavilion.

The new servants hadn’t arrived yet.

Shi Qingzhou looked at Liu Suifeng and said slowly. “Did you find anything?”

Liu Suifeng shook his head.

Shi Qingzhou said slowly again, “There are some new servants in the mansion. You can see if there is anything wrong with them later.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “I got it.”

Although he did not find any problems in the mansion, he felt that something was wrong.

He sensed something familiar, but he couldn’t tell what it was, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Shi Qingzhou asked him to pay attention to the new servants, so he collected himself and waited patiently.

The new servants were soon brought over. Within three months, seven people had been hired.

A cook, a toilette man, two young servants and two maids.

These people knelt down and curtsied when they arrived at Moon Pavilion.

Shi Qingzhou sat back without asking them to get up.

Liu Suifeng looked at the servants with a thoughtful expression.

Shi Qingzhou looked at Liu Suifeng, whose expression alerted him.

“Raise your head.” Shi Qingzhou said lightly.

The seven kneeling people looked up.

Shi Qingzhou glanced at each of them.

The seven people looked uneasy, as if they were scared of Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou was the Empress of the country after all, and it was natural that these ordinary people were frightened.

Shi Qingzhou’s eyes were dark and cold. He didn’t hide his coldness.

The atmosphere seemed to be very oppressive.

The seven people trembled.

Even the guards who followed Shi Qingzhou stiffened. They were awed by his aura.

Liu Suifeng suddenly spoke.

“His Highness calls you here because you are new comers, and you haven’t had a body checkup yet. He is worried that you are not healthy, and you might have an unnoticed illness that will spread to other people in the mansion. Therefore, she asks me to give you a physical checkup.”

“Your Highness, I don’t have any illness.”

“Yes, Your Highness. I am definitely not sick.”

“Your Highness!”

“Shut up! Stop talking!” The captain of the guards shouted loudly.

Instantly, the seven people shut their mouths, but their faces were filled with anxiety.

Shi Qingzhou took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner and slowly put it down. He said lightly, “Let’s start then.”

Liu Suifeng said, “Okay.”, and he asked the seven people to step forward one by one.

Liu Suifeng took out a jade bottle from his pocket.

Apart from the jade bottle, he took out a row of silver needles. Moreover, he put something on the silver needle in front of everyone.

Everyone watched in terror, their hearts pounding.

However, no one dared to ask.

Those servants came forward at Liu Suifeng’s signal.

Two servants, two maids, an accountant, and the toilette man.

Their fingers were pricked and their blood dripped into the jade bottle.

Liu Suifeng only pricked each of them once, and then let them stand on one side.

Finally, it was the cook’s turn.

The cook stepped forward, and Liu Suifeng pricked him with a needle, looking at him closely.

Liu Suifeng’s eyes were very intimidating, so the cook instantly became uneasy under his gaze.

“Is there any problem with me?” The cook said in a trembling voice.

Shi Qingzhou stared at him and said slowly, “What’s wrong with him?”
