Hearing his words, Lu Liangwei stopped in her tracks and could not help looking in the direction he was pointing with a frown.
Wasn’t that the courtyard where the Virtuous Consort stayed?
She furrowed her brow.
Long Chi took a few steps closer and whispered, “You’re always thinking of Royal Uncle, but I’m afraid that he doesn’t care about you right now. He’s probably having the time of his life with another woman in his arms…”
Long Chi’s words came to an abrupt halt. Less than a finger away was a glinting dagger, its blade pointed right at his heart.
His face was instantly livid. “Lu Liangwei, you!” He was enraged beyond words.

Long Chi quickly regained his composure. Convinced that she was bluffing, he softened his tone. “I know that you can’t accept it right now, but it’s the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can go there and see for yourself.”
However, Lu Liangwei did not respond to his words and said nonchalantly instead, “I got this dagger from His Majesty. You know, I used it to kill a tiger two days ago. I made a deep gash in the tiger’s throat with the sharp blade, and its blood spilled all over the ground. That just shows how sharp this dagger is! Just think about it – if I were to accidentally shake my hand and scratch you, what would happen? Would you end up just like that tiger?”
Long Chi’s pupils shrank, and his expression turned ghastly as he growled through gritted teeth, “Lu Liangwei!”
“How dare you! No matter what, I’m still your aunt. By calling my name, you’re not just disrespecting your elders – you’re being insubordinate! Now tell me, how should I punish you?” Lu Liangwei rebuked him sternly.
For a while, Long Chi was at a loss for words, and after a long moment, he sneered and said, “I can let you play aunt with me, but do you really think you, a mere Empress, can punish me?”
“I can’t, but your royal uncle can. You’ve offended me several times, and I’ve given you chances time and time again. Since you refuse to repent, I’ll let His Majesty decide what to do with you.” Lu Liangwei had no intention of playing nice with him.
Since Long Yang needed a reason to depose him as Crown Prince, was offending the Empress a good enough crime?
How could such an immoral person be qualified for the position of Crown Prince?
When Long Chi realized the implicit meaning of her words, his face darkened.
It seemed that he would have to do it the hard way!
He had tried to be amiable every time, but she refused to appreciate it in the least.
He suddenly shouted, “Lu Liangwei, look who it is!”
Lu Liangwei was about to leave, but her worry for the Emperor made her turn around at his words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, the moment she turned her head, something cold splashed onto her face, flowing past the corner of her lips and into her mouth.
“Pah!” Appalled, she spat unhesitantly in Long Chi’s face and immediately took out a pill and swallowed it.
The triumph on Long Chi’s face was instantly replaced by a menacing gloom.
His eyes flashing with cruelty, he wiped the saliva from his face and was about to grab her arm when a sword barred his way.
“Please remember your place, Your Highness!” Chu Jiu reminded coldly.
She did not expect the Crown Prince to do something as despicable as splashing medicine on the Empress. As she was not alert enough just now, the Empress ended up taking the blow.
Thank goodness the Empress had medical skills, or else she would not know what to do.
Seeing that Lu Liangwei could still take a pill calmly at this moment, she was slightly relieved.
“Are you trying to be insubordinate, Chu Jiu?” Long Chi glared at her threateningly.
Chu Jiu did not budge. “My duty is to protect the Empress. Please don’t make my job difficult, Your Highness..”
