Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

br>Father ascended the throne at thirteen, you know,” Long Yin said nonchalantly and even tried to reassure his mother.

Lu Liangwei smiled.
“That’s true.
Things were really hard for your father.”

Long Yin’s heart ached as he looked at her face, which had grown wan and thin due to her worry for Ji’er.
If his father had not instructed him to assume command of the imperial capital, he would have gone searching for Ji’er too.

“Have a seat, Mother.” He helped Lu Liangwei sit down in a chair.

After settling into her chair, Lu Liangwei regarded her son’s young face and said, “I’m sure Ji’er’s hiding to avoid being found by us.
In that case, I want you to issue an imperial decree to the entire kingdom.
If Ji’er cares about me, she’ll come back at once after seeing it.”

Long Yin wrinkled his brow.
“What kind of decree do you want me to issue, Mother?”

“Say that all this worry has taken a toll on my health and made me critically ill, so you’re issuing this decree in hopes that the entire kingdom will pray for the gods to protect me,” said Lu Liangwei.

“Mother!” Long Yin frowned in disapproval upon hearing her curse herself.
“I don’t agree with this idea.”

“It’s just a ruse, my boy.
If Ji’er sees it, she’ll come back…” Lu Liangwei said urgently, though she was also amused by her son’s reaction.

Long Yin’s lips thinned.
He did not believe in the supernatural, but if his family was involved, he would rather believe than joke about it.

“If you won’t do it, I will.” Lu Liangwei made a move to get up.

“Don’t force me, Mother.
Besides, just think about how worried Father will be when he hears the news while he’s still out there.” Long Yin furrowed his brow in disagreement.
“He won’t.
He’ll understand it was my idea,” Lu Liangwei reassured him.
“Be good, Yin’er—hurry up and issue that decree so Ji’er can come back soon.”

Long Yin was still hesitant.
No matter what, he could not bring himself to joke about his mother’s health, not even for Ji’er’s sake.
