Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

This one’s definitely a boy.
He’s the oldest.”

Long Qingzhi was stunned.
“How could you tell?”

“He looks a lot like the Emperor.
Only a boy would look so mature and precocious at such a young age.” Lu Liangwei chuckled as she gazed at the two children.

Long Qingzhi arched an eyebrow.
“Really? I think the Prince looks more like you, though.”

Lu Liangwei was startled.
“Seriously? I think my daughter looks more like me.”

The Dowager Duchess laughed.
“Everyone has different opinions.
If you ask me, both children inherited their looks from both of you, and they resemble both parents in different ways.”

Aunt Lan nodded.
“I agree.
See how this one has your eyes and the Emperor’s nose?”

Lu Liangwei stared at the children in a daze.

Immediately, the bedchamber was filled with animated discussions about whom each child resembled more.

When Long Yang finished cleaning up and came out of the bathroom, he was greeted by the sight of the crowd surrounding Lu Liangwei and discussing the children’s looks.

He stood in place for a moment, watching the girl lying in bed, her small face full of vigor.

Those hellish, agonizing days seemed to have been nothing but a dream.

Instead of joining the crowd, he turned on his heel and left the room.

Lu Liangwei raised her head, only to catch sight of Long Yang’s retreating figure.

Long Yang strode directly out of the bedchamber.

Zhao Qian, whose eyes were bleary from all the sleepless nights, was taken aback to see his master come out, but also felt finally relieved.

He followed him in silent understanding.

Long Yang did not stop in his tracks until he reached the imperial study.
Hoarsely, he asked, “Is there any news of Lil Qi… and the child?”

Zhao Qian bowed his head even lower.
His voice was despondent and carried a hint of despair.
He mustered all the strength he had to keep it from breaking as he forced out his reply.
“No.”

Long Yang pursed his lips, his bloodshot eyes full of vexation and remorse.

If it had not been for him, the child would not have…

He closed his eyes, burying all his pain in a deep corner of his heart.

After a while, he opened his eyes, revealing the iciness and cruelty in them.
“Make sure all of them keep their mouths shut, and if they don’t, kill them.
If any of them leak even the slightest bit of information to the Empress, I want them sentenced to nine kinship extermination.
No mercy will be given.”
