Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

u Liangwei gazed at him, her eyes shining with gratitude.

Long Yang, however, could not bring himself to match her delight.

He knew that it was terribly selfish of him to sacrifice the soldiers for the sake of his wife and children, but other than being the Emperor, he was also an ordinary man and husband.

All he wanted was to protect his wife and children.

However, the soldiers were just as innocent as they were.

They had fought hard to defend Great Shang, and they did not deserve to meet their end so miserably.

He unclenched his fist slowly, then lifted a hand and stroked Lu Liangwei’s hair, saying gently, “Why don’t you go back first? I still have some matters to handle, so I won’t be seeing you off.”

“All right.” Lu Liangwei nodded obediently.
She knew that he still had a lot to deal with and did not intend to bother him any further, so she took the food basket from the table and headed outside.

Since the Emperor had promised her, he would definitely issue the edict.

She trusted him!

When she reached the door, she could not help looking back over her shoulder, only to see Long Yang still standing in place, his dark eyes gazing at her quietly.

She was momentarily stunned, but the sight of his bloodshot eyes made her heart ache, and she reminded him softly, “Remember to take care of yourself, Your Majesty.
Don’t overexert yourself.”

“I’ll remember that.” Long Yang nodded, then watched her leave the imperial study.

After a while, he called out in a stern, intimidating voice, “Zhao Qian, pass down my word…”

Zhao Qian immediately walked in, and a moment later, left the palace with the imperial edict.

…

The Grand Duke Mansion.

After Zhao Qian had read out the imperial edict, it took Lu Hetian a while to come back to his senses and accept the scroll.

“Why did His Majesty…” He was puzzled and also disapproving.

Zhao Qian sighed.
“The Empress found out and went to plead with His Majesty, and he eventually gave in to her.”
