They were once husband and wife, the closest relationship people could have. He was, of course, aware of her being born with her heart on the right side.
From Jiang Chong’s description, Madam Ling’s flying dagger had shot through Lu Yunshuang’s left chest.
Jiang Chong was slightly astonished to learn this.
“Find out where she is now,” Long Chi instructed.
Jiang Chong nodded. “Yes, Master.”
They were once husband and wife, after all. His master was still probably concerned for Lu Yunshuang.
It was only a few short days before the concubines from the Eastern Palace had arrived.
The hearts of all those Beauties went cold when they realized how barren the place was.
They began sobbing the moment they entered the courtyard.
Long Chi had just returned from an inspection, and he was in a bad mood. When he saw them crying, the look at his face turned darker as he barked in annoyance, “What are you crying for?”
A few of his concubines jumped at this and they did not dare make another sound.
Beauty Lin was the only one who immediately welcomed him warmly at his return. “Greetings to you, My Liege.”
Long Chi’s expression softened slightly as he nodded. “It has been a long journey. You must all be tired.”
Beauty Lin’s eyes turned red as she shook her head and said, “It’s a relief to see you safe and sound, My Liege.”
Long Chi was a little surprised. “You’re concerned for me?”
Beauty Lin was a little shy as she replied softly, “You’re my husband. It’s only natural that I’m concerned about you.”
Long Chi was quite taken when he heard this. He pulled her by the hand and went into the room with her.
The other crying concubines bit their lips unhappily when they saw this.
Beauty Lin was pretty good at scheming. She had already taken the opportunity to get into the house and be graced by the Prince of Xuyang.
They gave each other a look and stopped crying as they followed behind to enter the house.
Long Chi’s gaze swept across them and he suddenly frowned. “Where’s Chen Qiyu?”
A small glint appeared in Beauty Lin’s eyes. “She was not feeling well before we left, which is why she did not follow us.”
Long Chi looked upset.
Chen Qiyu was pregnant with his child, yet she did not follow them here?
A dark look appeared in his eyes at the thought of something.
This must be his Royal Uncle’s doing. He wants to prevent Long Chi from having any heirs!
Long Chi said to Jiang Chong, “Make a secret trip to the imperial capital and find a way to bring Beauty Chen back here safely.”
Jiang Chong knew he was doing this for the sake of the baby inside Chen Qiyu. Jiang Chong did not delay any longer. “I’ll handle this immediately.”
Long Chi looked slightly more relieved once Jiang Chong left, but he did not have much confidence over this.
If his Royal Uncle wanted his heir gone, it could be too late by now.
Long Chi’s expression became gloomier at the thought of his own condition.
This was quite a barren place and even the medical skills of the physicians were quite mediocre.
All the concubines, including Beauty Lin, began to feel a chill when they noticed the coldness emanating from the prince. They had no idea how to deal with it.
They felt that the depressing feeling enveloping Long Chi had gotten more intense since the incident, which made them feel unsettled.
Four months later, the imperial capital, Palace.
Lu Liangwei was wearing a thick, snow-white fox-fur robe as she stood in the long corridor. Her hand reached out to catch the snowflakes floating down from the sky.
This was the first snowfall in the imperial capital since winter arrived this year.
She had gotten up especially early this morning just to see the ground covered in white snow.
As she watched the crystallized and bright snow in her palm, a man’s warm hand came over to wrap around it before she was done admiring the snow. She felt her body become weightless as she was carried in his
arms.
“You’re back?” Lu Liangwei turned back and looked at the man with delight.
Long Yang’s finger gently touched the tip of her nose. “Don’t you feel cold standing outside?”
Lu Liangwei’s hands circled his neck as she said with some excitement, “I don’t feel cold at all. This is the first snow this year and I wanted to see it.”
As she said this, she noticed some snow had fallen on his shoulders and she quickly reached out to brush it off.
Long Yang grabbed her hand. “Don’t busy yourself with this. You have to be careful not to catch a cold.”
Lu Liangwei pulled the fox-fur robe tighter around her. “I’m wrapped up like a dumpling. I don’t feel cold at all.”
“Dumpling?”
Long Yang laughed at her choice of words. “This is a pretty apt description.”
Lu Liangwei pouted a little unhappily. “Don’t laugh. Who do you think I’m doing this for?”.
