With that, Long Chi spun on his heel and left without another glance at her.
Lu Yunshuang’s expression clouded over.
What did Long Chi mean by this?
Was he mocking her, or was he trying to provoke her on purpose?
He even wanted her to take care of Chen Qiyu and make sure nothing happened to her child?
A cold smile appeared on her lips.
…
Lu Liangwei had just walked out of the Eastern Palace when she spotted Zhao Qian waiting for her.
Seeing her come out, Zhao Qian immediately walked up to her. “Second Miss, Master is waiting for you in Hidden Dragon Palace.”
Hearing this, Lu Liangwei stopped in her tracks—she had initially planned to leave the palace straight away.
She only came to the palace today to help Lin Qingyuan.
During the earlier episode in the Eastern Palace, the covert guards had hidden Chen Xuping in the shadows, and he must have seen the show she staged.
Would he still think that Lu Yunshuang was so kind and gentle that she would weep for a small animal?
The truth was right in front of Chen Xuping’s eyes, and unless he was selectively blind, he could only accept the truth.
Looking at Eunuch Zhao grinning radiantly before her, Lu Liangwei was a little hesitant. “Can I not go?”
Zhao Qian immediately said with a serious face, “Master has been waiting for a long time.” Was she joking? When Master heard that Second Miss was in the palace, he pushed all his work aside and had already been waiting in Hidden Dragon Palace for a long time. If he failed to bring her over, he would have to bear Master’s thunderous rage.
His face crumpled at the thought and he looked like he was about to cry. “Second Miss, if Master doesn’t see you, he’ll definitely punish me later.”
Watching him trying desperately to get her sympathy, Lu Liangwei sighed a little resignedly, “In that case, lead the way, Butler Zhao.”
Zhao Qian exhaled in relief when he heard this. If Second Miss Lu refused him stubbornly, he could not do anything about it either.
As expected, Second Miss was truly considerate!
He immediately broke out in a smile and was ready to lend Lu Liangwei his arm.
“Please come with me, Second Miss.”
Sure enough, when Lu Liangwei stepped into Hidden Dragon Palace with the kitten in her arms a short while later, she saw that Long Yang was already waiting for her.
Long Yang gazed at the girl walking in, affection flickering in his eyes.
He stood up and walked over, then held the girl’s hand and asked gently, “Are you thirsty or hungry?”
Lu Liangwei’s lip twitched, but she did not reply.
Long Yang noticed the movement and placed his large palm on her forehead. “What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?”
Lu Liangwei pulled his hand down. “I’m not unwell. It’s just that I don’t know which question of yours I should answer first.”
“Is my question difficult to answer?” Long Yang frowned.
Looking at his handsome face, Lu Liangwei could not help teasing, “No. It’s just that you reminded me of my father just now, Your Majesty.”
Her vague remark stunned Long Yang for a while, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
“Haven’t I told you not to compare me to your father?”
Lu Liangwei pressed her lips together into a smile. “I forgot.”
“Really?” Long Yang’s eyes narrowed. All of a sudden, he slipped his arms under her armpits and lifted her off her feet.
Lu Liangwei let out an exclamation and threw her arms around his neck firmly.
“What are you doing, Your Majesty?”
Long Yang continued to hold her up, a cold gleam in his deep eyes.
Lu Liangwei pursed her lips and surrendered. “Alright, that was just a slip of the tongue.” She then reached out and tickled his arms. “Hurry up and put me down.”
A smile played on Long Yang’s lips. “Are you sure that was just a slip of the tongue?”
“Positive!” Lu Liangwei almost swore to the heavens.
Only then did Long Yang put her down.
Lu Liangwei was finally relieved when she felt both her feet on the ground.
She exhaled secretly, turned around, and sat down on the couch.
The Emperor was really scary when he bristled!
