Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chapter 568: Pressed Against Her Forehead

As she thought of this, she asked, “Your Majesty, did you think I was poisoned?”

Long Yang paused and nodded. “Yes.”

Lu Liangwei lowered her voice when she heard this. “Did you think that Her Imperial Highness had poisoned me?”

Long Yang darted a look at her, but did not answer her question. Instead, he caressed her long hair and instructed her grimly, “You must inform me in the future anytime the Empress Dowager requests your presence. You are only allowed to meet her if I’m with you. You should never see her alone without me by your side. Understood?”

Lu Liangwei instinctively nodded when she saw how serious and grave he looked. “Alright.”

“Good girl.” Long Yang’s expression softened as he leaned forward and gave her a kiss on her fair forehead.

Lu Liangwei stared blankly at him.

Even though he did not answer her questions directly, she had a hunch that his first thought when she suddenly developed rashes was that the Empress Dowager had poisoned her.

Why would he connect this to the Empress Dowager?

Was it because she had taken her dinner at Tranquility Palace?

However, Lu Liangwei also felt that there must be another reason that His Majesty would suspect the Empress Dowager. This situation might not be as simple as Lu Liangwei had initially thought.

She pursed her lips and was once again reminded of that panic-stricken look on His Majesty’s face when her rashes appeared.

He had even rushed out without wearing his shoes.

He did not even bother about his status nor his need to uphold any sense of dignity and nobility.

This was the first time she had seen him in such a panic since the first day she had known him. This was most unlike his usual calm and steady self.

“What are you looking at?”

She felt a sudden knock on her forehead. She gave a start and saw that his face was quite close to hers, as though it was about to be pressed against her forehead.

This was too intimate. Lu Liangwei’s heart skipped a beat as she quickly turned her face away. “Your Majesty, it’s quite late now. You should quickly wash your feet and get to bed for some sleep.” She gently prodded him as she looked out at the sky.

A small smile appeared on Long Yang’s face when she turned her face away from him. He teased, “You’re willing to share a bed with me now?”

Lu Liangwei pulled her hair down over her face to hide her embarrassment. “When have I been unwilling to share a bed with you?”

With that, the memory of what they had left unfinished just moments ago flashed through her mind. She blushed and gave him a push. “Hurry up and go.”

Long Yang had also been thinking of their unfinished business as the look in his eyes darkened. He gulped and said huskily, “Alright.”

Lu Liangwei watched him head into the bathroom and finally felt slightly relieved.

Her body was covered in rashes and measles-like dots. Her skin was red and her condition honestly looked quite scary. He should not have any interest when she looked like this.

Lu Liangwei felt relieved at this thought.

However, something suddenly crossed her mind and she could not help pulling open her clothes to examine her skin condition. As expected, the rashes did not go away.

These rashes were not a problem for her. She could concoct some medical cream to apply on her skin and conceal the rashes. However…

It was too late now. Since the rashes did not affect her, she decided to ignore them for now.

Long Yang was done cleaning up. When he returned to the inner room, Lu Liangwei was already lying in bed, wrapped up tightly inside the blanket.

She looked just like a silkworm pupa, and a look of pleasure flashed across Long Yang’s eyes when he saw how the girl had wrapped herself up.

He walked over and sat down by the bed. He watched the soft, tender-looking girl lying obediently by her side and his heart was immediately filled with happiness and contentment.

Lu Liangwei’s black eyes, which shone like shining, translucent grapes, looked back at him. When she saw him gazing intently at her, she felt a little self-conscious and coughed lightly. She asked, “Aren’t you going to bed, Your Majesty?”

Long Yang leaned in close to her. “I’d like to watch you some more. Go ahead and sleep first.”
