Long Yang stood with his hands behind his back as he watched her run off. A curve slowly appeared on his lips.
That girl!
Lu Hetian was waiting anxiously outside the Jade Dew Hall.
Lu Tingchen was rubbing between his eyes as he said a little helplessly, “Father, there’s no need to worry. Weiwei is with the Grand Princess. Nothing will happen to her.”
A smile appeared on his face at the thought of the Prince of Xiangyang who was drunk and unconscious.
The Prince of Xiangyang was known to be able to hold his liquor even after a thousand cups, but he had still ended up losing to Lu Tingchen!
Lu Tingchen was quite proud of himself as he thought of this.
He felt that his father was being worried for nothing.
Weiwei was in the Palace, what could go wrong here?
His Majesty cared about her a lot. How would he allow anything to happen to her?
Lu Hetian darted a look at Lu Tingchen and immediately lost his temper when he saw Lu Tingchen’s casual attitude.
Lu Hetian was worried because Lu Liangwei was with the Grand Princess.
He had not thought much of it in the beginning, but Weiwei had left for quite a while and the Palace banquet had ended, yet, she still has not returned.
Moreover, he had also noticed that His Majesty had left quite early.
If this was His Majesty’s plan, Weiwei’s situation would be just like sending a lamb to the mouth of the tiger.
They were both men, how would Lu Hetian not be aware of the dirty thoughts in the Emperor’s mind?
At the thought of his treasured daughter, the apple of his eye that had been brought up under tender protection, being possibly eaten by the tiger…
At this point, he turned and said to his son in a fitful rage, “All you know to do is drink. What else do you know besides drinking? Your younger sister has been gone for quite a while and you don’t even feel anxious about it. Tell me, what use do I have for you?”
With that, he made a move to pull out the sword hung at Lu Tingchen’s waist.
Lu Tingchen was shocked at this. His casual attitude immediately dissipated and he quickly stopped Lu Hetian. “Father, what are you doing?”
“Your sister must have been tricked by that…dog. I’m going to kill him!”
Lu Tingchen broke out in cold sweat. He pressed his voice down as he said, “Father, what you’re trying to do is regicide, we’ll suffer nine kinship exterminations…”
“Your sister is about to be in trouble, do you think I’ll be afraid of him?” Green veins were popping up on Lu Hetian’s forehead. He reached out to push aside his son, who was blocking him, and strode purposefully toward the direction of Hidden Dragon Palace.
Lu Tingchen instantly felt an intense headache, but did not dare slow down as he quickly ran after Lu Hetian.
He was in charge of the palace guards and was allowed to bring weapons into the Palace. He was also not required to put down his sword even when meeting His Majesty.
Yet, his father had snatched his sword with the intention of slashing His Majesty…
A chill went down his backbone as he accelerated his pace. “Father, please calm down.”
“How am I supposed to calm down?” Lu Hetian’s eyes were filled with furious rage.
Lu Liangwei ran out from the dark toward them. When she saw her father and older brother walking toward the direction of Hidden Dragon Palace with ferocity, she was stunned. She thought of something and quickly ran after them.
“Father, Big Brother…”
Lu Tingchen felt this voice was honestly the most beautiful voice he had ever heard, so much so that even the pure sound of nature could not compare.
He turned toward her in delight and, at the sight of his little sister, quickly shouted at Lu Hetian. “Father, stop going there. Weiwei has returned, hasn’t she?”
Soon, Lu Liangwei appeared in front of them both. When she saw what they were doing, she asked curiously, “Where are you going? Aren’t you leaving the Palace?”
She glanced at the sharp, bright sword hanging in Lu Hetian’s hand.
Could it be what she was thinking?
She gulped and took one step forward, removed the lethal sword from Lu Hetian’s hand, and passed it back to Lu Tingchen. “Big brother, put your sword away.”
Lu Tingchen immediately placed the weapon back into his sheath and this time, he grabbed tight onto the sword’s hilt to prevent it from being taken again.
His father was no longer a child. What was wrong with him to be acting so rashly?
Sigh!
This had really frightened him!
