Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

to Long Yang with a pang of jealousy.
When he heard the Emperor’s words, his voice suddenly became icy.
“The same goes to you, Your Majesty.
We’re not young anymore, so we should indeed rest earlier.
Have a safe journey back, Your Majesty!”

He deliberately put emphasis when he uttered the words ‘not young anymore’.

Long Yang paused in his tracks.
If this person in front of him were not his future father-in-law, he would not hold back in this situation.
At the very least, he would demote the man to a place far, far away.

However, no matter how much he wanted to retaliate, he had to endure it.
This person in front of him was his future father-in-law, and he could not get into his bad books.

Taking a deep breath, he said insincerely, “You’re right, Grand Duke.
I’ll go back and sleep right now.” Without another glance at him, he leaped onto the roof and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lu Hetian exhaled grumpily, feeling that it was really not a blessing to have an emperor as a son-in-law.
Even if he wanted to scold him, he had to choose his words carefully.

Moreover, this son-in-law of his was unpredictable, astute, and ruthless.
He seriously could not afford to offend him.

Lu Hetian felt troubled.

After Lu Liangwei had finished her food inside the house, she planned to wash up and prepare to go to sleep.

Just before she got into her bed, she remembered that she had not asked Long Yang her question.

However, with her father’s presence just now, she could not simply open her mouth to ask.

After all, this matter involved Lu Yunshuang, so it was best not to let her father know.

Jiuhua Temple, the palace suburbs.

Incense wafted through the air, and the rhythmic beating of wooden fish created a solemn atmosphere.

Lu Yunshuang had been sitting on the round cushion for nearly two hours, but she still did not dare to get up.

Opposite her, Empress Dowager Xiaojing remained seated reverently, beating the wooden fish in her hands and chanting her prayers.

The more Lu Yunshuang listened to the sound of the wooden fish, the more frustrated she became.

She was doing alright in the Eastern Palace.
Why did she have to come here?

Surely those pesky concubines swarm toward Long Chi the second she left?

The thought upset her even more.

However, this was the Empress Dowager’s decree, and she did not dare to disobey it.
