Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

little longer.”

Before long, Zhao Qian came hurrying in from outside.
“Your Highness, Master has instructed me to tell you that there is no need to wait for him.
Please enjoy your breakfast first.
He will return a little later.” With that, Zhao Qian turned to leave.

Lu Liangwei was rather confused by this and quickly stopped him.
“Butler Zhao, isn’t the imperial court done for the day?”

Zhao Qian remembered the tense atmosphere during the meeting with the officials in the imperial court earlier and broke out in cold sweat.
He did not dare tell her the truth.
He simply said, “His Majesty has something to discuss with the officials.
Please have your breakfast first, Your Highness.”

Lu Liangwei was astonished.
What exactly was His Majesty doing?

Ever since the day of their marriage, His Majesty had never been this busy.
She had a hunch that something particularly must have occurred.

It was quite obvious that His Majesty had specifically told Zhao Qian not to tell her about it.

At the thought of this, Lu Liangwei shot Chu Jiu a look.

Chu Jiu immediately understood and went to tail Zhao Qian.

However, Chu Jiu had barely stepped out of Grand Phoenix Palace when Zhao Qian blocked her way, having waited for her to appear.
“Jiu, Her Highness is heavily pregnant right now and cannot take such a shock.
Your responsibility is to keep her safe and you shouldn’t get involved with anything that doesn’t directly concern you.
If you do, even I won’t be able to protect you if something happens to Her Highness.”

When Chu Jiu saw the grim look on Zhao Qian’s face, she could not help but hesitate slightly.

Something major must have happened at the imperial court today, but His Majesty did not want Her Highness to find out lest it caused her to worry.

“Go back.
If Her Highness asks again, just say that robbers have been spotted running rampant in the North-West area.
His Majesty and the officials are in a meeting to decide who to dispatch there to ensure the safety.”

Chu Jiu nodded.
“I know what to do.”

Zhao Qian was relieved.
“Alright.
I’ll be leaving now.”

Chu Jiu watched him leave and she stood outside the gates for a long moment before finally returning to Grand Phoenix Palace.

When she saw Chu Jiu return, she asked, “Did something happen at the imperial court this morning?”
