Chapter 834 Lu Liangwei’s Little Habit Pleased Long Yang
None of his movements roused Lu Liangwei from her sleep.
Long Yang sat on the edge of the bed and gazed quietly at her sleeping face.
Since his mother passed away, he had spent his years in solitude. Every year, after treating the court officials to a New Year banquet, he would return to his cold and lonely bedchamber.
However, he was no longer alone now.
When he remembered what Weiwei had said to him outside Grand Phoenix Palace, his heart filled with contentment.
Weiwei was here to keep him company, and in the future, there would be their children too…
It was a wonderful and satisfying feeling.
As he watched the girl’s sleeping face, a look of warmth flickered in his eyes.
He leaned over and kissed Lu Liangwei’s forehead, then lay down on his side.
The moment he settled down, Lu Liangwei snuggled up to him, an inaudible murmur escaping her lips.
The corners of Long Yang’s mouth curved upward, and his eyes held a gentle smile as he looked at the sleeping girl.
Ever since winter had set in, this girl loved sleeping in his arms.
No matter how soundly asleep she was, the moment he lay next to her, she would sense his presence and snuggle up against him.
This little habit of hers pleased him greatly.
He gently stroked her back with his palm.
As he gazed at her innocent, child-like sleeping face, all erotic thoughts vanished from his mind.
Just sleeping with his arms around her was enough for him.
In contrast to the cozy and warm atmosphere here, the Xiangyang Mansion was currently in a state of tension.
After Long Xiao left the palace, he returned straight to his mansion and summoned a physician.
After examining him, the physician concluded that his pulse was perfectly normal, and there was no sign of poisoning. Long Xiao was relieved to hear this.
After rewarding the physician, he retreated to his bedchamber.
He thought that the Empress would give him poison or laxatives to make him suffer.
However, there was nothing unusual about his body. He had been worried for nothing.
Indeed, the Empress did not put poison in the wine-she put aphrodisiac.
His lips curled into a sneer.
He sat cross-legged on his bed, planning to suppress the aphrodisiac with internal strength.
However, as soon as he used his internal strength, the aphrodisiac’s effects started spreading even more rapidly, much to his dismay.
Just then, one of his subordinates came and reported, “My Liege, Butler Zhao is here.” Zhao Qian?
Long Xiao frowned. What was he doing here?
His subordinate was startled to see his current state. “My Liege…” Zhao Qian was already making his way over, followed by a group of beautiful women.
Grinning, he looked Long Xiao over and said, “I waited for a while, but you didn’t appear, so I came over myself. How are you, My Liege?”
Long Xiao glanced at the women behind him and leaned against the doorframe, trying to contain his agitation. “Thank you for your concern, Butler Zhao. I’m quite all right.” Zhao Qian exhaled in relief. “That’s good to hear. The Empress was worried that you’d feel unwell after drinking the wine, but it seems that Her Highness won’t have to worry about anything after all.”
He paused, then pointed to the Danjue women behind him.
“These are the women Prince Wanyan offered. They’re all one-of-a-kind, and they have incredible looks and bodies. The Empress heard that you’re still unmarried and ordered me to bring you these women so you won’t have to spend the long night alone.”
Long Xiao gritted his teeth. He was sneering inside, but his expression was calm. “I’m honored to receive Her Highness’s concern. Please send my gratitude to her.”
After a pause, he said darkly, “I appreciate Her Highness’s kindness, but you should bring these women back, Butler Zhao. I think Royal Brother might need them more.”
