Lu Liangwei shot her a glance, reluctant to dampen her delight, but still said, “It will only be for a while.”
Lin Qingyuan was in disbelief. “She’s already been demoted to Lady of Excellence. Do you think she can still rise from the ashes?”
“Don’t underestimate Lu Yunshuang! Think about it, she cheated on the Crown Prince, but why did she only get demoted and not punished even more severely?” Lu Liangwei reminded her.
Long Yang had already told her that Long Chi had only punished Lu Yunshuang because he pressured him.
“Are you saying that the Crown Prince can’t bear to let Lu Yunshuang go?” Lin Qingyuan asked in a low voice.
Lu Liangwei nodded. “I think so. After all, he asked for Lu Yunshuang’s hand in marriage. Besides, Lu Yunshuang has secretly done a lot of things for him. If Lu Yunshuang can give birth to his children, her status would rise as well.”
When Lin Qingyuan heard this, there was a strange look in her eyes, and she seemed hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Lu Liangwei raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “Why are you hesitating? Just spit it out.”
Lin Qingyuan looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one was in sight, leaned into her ear and whispered, “That time when I went to bid farewell to the Duke Chen Family, I met Chen Qiyu, and she told me that the Crown Prince is impotent…”
Hearing this, Lu Liangwei stared at her in shock. “Seriously?”
“That’s what she said,” replied Lin Qingyuan. “If it wasn’t true, why would she say that?”
The corners of Lu Liangwei’s mouth curved upward smugly.
Well, how the tides have turned!
“So Lu Yunshuang can’t rely on an heir for a comeback unless the Crown Prince can recover,” Lin Qingyuan said confidently.
Lu Liangwei finally understood why Chen Qiyu could get off the hook despite Long Chi finding out that she had slept with all those men in the brothel.
It was because the child in Chen Qiyu’s womb would likely become Long Chi’s only child.
Long Chi was naturally reluctant to harm her now, but who knew what he would do after Chen Qiyu gave birth to the child.
A thought came to her, and her eyes narrowed.
So the Emperor had already known about it a long time ago, but why didn’t he tell her?
How stingy of the Emperor not to share such entertaining news with her!
“By the way, you went to the execution grounds to watch Chen Xuping’s execution, right? Do you know who abducted him?”
Lin Qingyuan shook her head. “No, but that person is skilled at using poison, and despite the execution grounds’ tight security, they still escaped.” She continued indignantly, “What a charmed life Chen Xuping has, I can’t believe he still managed to escape. Sigh, I hope that the court can arrest him and have him beheaded soon.”
Skilled at using poison?
Lu Liangwei pondered and decided to ask her mother when she got home.
Her mother had roamed the martial world for so long, and she might have an idea of who abducted Chen Xuping.
“I can’t believe that scumbag Chen Xuping escaped just like that. It’s so infuriating!” Lin Qingyuan continued to curse Chen Xuping.
Hearing this, Lu Liangwei could not help glancing at her and suddenly joked, “Maybe Chen Xuping has turned over a new leaf and will come back to you.”
Startled, Lin Qingyuan rubbed her arms. “Don’t scare me.”
Lu Liangwei shrugged. “It’s just my guess, but you still have to be careful since Chen Xuping has escaped.”
Lin Qingyuan snarled.. “If he ever shows up in front of me again, I’ll definitely castrate him and make him wish that he could die instead!”
