Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

I have to tell you, but I need you to stay calm.”

Long Yang’s heart sank with a sense of foreboding, and his hands curled into fists under his sleeves.
After a while, he finally managed to croak out, “What is it?”

“Five days ago, Weiwei disappeared.” The Dowager Duchess forced the words out of her mouth with great difficulty.

A ringing sound echoed in Long Yang’s ears.
He felt his blood surging in him, and without warning, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Alarmed, the Dowager Duchess hurriedly supported him and shouted over her shoulder, “Somebody get an imperial physician over here!”

Long Yang fainted.

The palace was immediately thrown into chaos, but fortunately, the Dowager Duchess managed to regain order.

According to Chief Physician Lin’s diagnosis, the Emperor had not gotten enough rest for the past few days, and he had constantly been in a state of tension as well.
The physical and mental strain had pushed his body to its limit, and receiving the news about the Empress’s disappearance was the last straw for him.

Long Yang’s illness came like a landslide, and it took three full days for him to recover his consciousness.

However, the first thing he wanted to do after waking up was to leave the palace and search for Lu Liangwei.

Zhao Qian clung to his leg desperately.
“Master, you still haven’t fully recovered.
If you keep overexerting yourself, your health will be damaged forever.”

“Get lost!” Long Yang growled menacingly and kicked him aside, then swooped out of the bedchamber.

Zhao Qian scrambled up from the floor, ready to persuade him again, when the Dowager Duchess appeared and threw herself onto her knees before his master.

“Forgive me for saying this, Your Majesty, but please take care of your body.”

Gone was Long Yang’s usual noble and dignified image.
His lips were dry and chapped, his complexion pale and haggard, and he had lost a significant amount of weight.

He could ignore everyone in the world except the Dowager Duchess.

Exasperated by the sight of the old woman kneeling before him stiffly, he bent over to help her up.
“What’re you doing, Grandmother? Please get up!”

However, the Dowager Duchess refused to stand.
Instead, she looked at him and said earnestly, “Since you call me Grandmother like Weiwei does, please listen to your grandmother just this once.”
