Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

of course I know who you are!”

“You…” Although Beitang Rui had already guessed the truth, he was still taken aback to hear her admit it so readily; he thought she would deny it until the end.

“In that case, were you lying when you said you were an envoy?” He cocked an eyebrow.

Lu Liangwei shook her head.
“Of course not.
Our Emperor did order the West Reigning General to visit your kingdom.”

Long Xuan immediately took out his token of authority and showed it to Beitang Rui.

Beitang Rui scanned it briefly.
The words “West Reigning General” were engraved on the token, serving as indisputable evidence of his identity.

“Then why did you and Long Chi…” Beitang Rui was bewildered.

Lu Liangwei sighed.
“The truth is, we’re not here just to celebrate the Yan Emperor’s birthday.
Our Emperor gave us another mission.”

“What mission?”

“I’m sure you know about Long Chi’s past rebellion attempt, Prince Rui.
After he was defeated, he fled to your kingdom, and after receiving the news, our Emperor sent us here to offer birthday wishes to your Emperor and also use it as an opportunity to kill Long Chi.
Unfortunately, I failed to assassinate him and ended up being caught by him.” Lu Liangwei conjured up a story on the spot.

Beitang Rui looked at her dubiously.
“Is that really true?”

“Of course it is.” Lu Liangwei met his gaze head-on.

Beitang Rui furrowed his brow.
“Then Long Chi…”

“We killed him,” Lu Liangwei answered airily.

Beitang Rui was alarmed.
“You…”

“From what I know, you’re good friends with Long Chi.
Now that you know he’s dead, are you going to avenge him?”

Beitang Rui calmed down, and after a while, replied, “I’m in no position to avenge him.”

“I’m glad you understand, Prince Rui.” Lu Liangwei pretended to look relieved.
Just then, she spotted a carriage ahead and exclaimed, “Hey, that looks like Princess Consort Rui’s carriage.”

Hearing this, Beitang Rui immediately glanced over in that direction.
Sure enough, Yuan Xin’s personal carriage was right there in front of them.

A frown creased his forehead, and he cantered forward, no longer bothering to elicit more information from Lu Liangwei.
