Chapter 583: His Gaze Dimmed Slightly
“At least two days?” Long Yang looked upset.
Lu Liangwei was secretly amused. She decided to never tell him that the prescription given by Chief Physician Lin was quite conservative. The effect of the medicine was quite mild; it was only natural that it would take her longer to heal.
Besides, the rashes on her body did not itch, nor did they give her any pain. There was not much impact on her physically, which was why she did not bother too much about it.
“Yup, it would take about two days for the rashes to completely fade, but it’s just a conservative guess. We can only be sure after two days.”
She noticed the worry on his face after she informed him about this. She gave this further thought and consoled him, “The rashes don’t itch and they aren’t giving me any pain. It’s not affecting me at all. Please don’t worry, Your Majesty.”
Long Yang felt slightly exasperated when he heard her words, but he nodded, anyway. “Alright. As long as it doesn’t make you suffer.”
When Lu Liangwei saw that he had no intention of leaving anytime soon, she paused for a moment before reminding him, “Your Majesty, don’t you have work to do? There’s nothing else happening here. You don’t need to worry about me. You should leave soon.”
Lu Liangwei was urging him to leave.
Long Yang’s dark and unfathomable eyes slowly narrowed. “You don’t want me to accompany you?”
Lu Liangwei looked at his elegantly handsome face and pursed her lips into a smile. She shook her head. “Nope.”
She was not a child, and the Palace was so huge, so there were more than enough places for her to visit. At the very least, she could read books on medicine or research some medical formulas. There was no need for him to accompany her.
Long Yang’s expression was slightly stunned. He had just been blatantly rejected by his little Empress. How tragic.
“Do you really not need me to accompany you?” He looked at her with a smile.
Lu Liangwei gave a pause. Her bright eyes slowly curved into crescent moons. “I really don’t. You’re so busy with administrative work. It shouldn’t be delayed on my account.”
“Just let it be delayed.” Long Yang was not bothered about that. Before she realized what was happening, he had reached out to carry her, then planted her on his lap.
His gaze fell onto her red, luscious lips that still had some moisture on them. He could almost smell the medicinal scent from her mouth.
His gaze dimmed slightly. He was about to lower his head to taste those lips when he heard Zhao Qian’s anxious voice coming from outside. “Master, Your Highness. The Dowager Duchess has just sent word that the Grand Duke is seriously injured. He is now unconscious, and has yet to awaken.”
Lu Liangwei was stunned. She quickly pushed away Long Yang’s face, which had come inches away from her, and quickly slipped down from his lap. She hurried outside.
Long Yang, “…”
He pinched the spot between his brows and tidied his robe. He stayed seated for a while before following her out.
When Lu Liangwei found Zhao Qian outside the door, she anxiously asked, “What exactly happened? How did Father get hurt?”
Zhao Qian shook his head. “I’m not too sure either. I had just seen the Grand Duke at the imperial court this morning. He looked fine at the time.”
Lu Liangwei was beside herself with worry when she heard his words.
Her father was healthy. Why did he suddenly get hurt and fall unconscious?
She could not stand by and do nothing. She had to leave the Palace at once.
She was about to return to the bedroom to inform Long Yang about this when she saw him walking out.
He gripped her shoulders and instructed Zhao Qian, “Prepare a horse-drawn carriage immediately. I want to accompany the Empress back to the Grand Duke Mansion.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Zhao Qian immediately left to make preparations.
Long Yang’s gaze turned back to Lu Liangwei. When he saw her looking a little pale, he frowned. He held her hand and consoled her, “Don’t worry, the Grand Duke will be fine.”
“You’re right.” Lu Liangwei nodded, but she was feeling extremely anxious. She wished fervently that she could put on a pair of wings and fly over to her father’s side right now.
It was not long before Zhao Qian brought over a carriage, and Long Yang entered it with Lu Liangwei.
When they finally arrived at the Grand Duke Mansion, Long Chi and Lu Yunshuang’s carriage had also just arrived.
They had also just found out the news about Lu Hetian being unconscious, and promptly rushed over.
When they saw the Emperor and Empress coming out of the carriage, they quickly stood to the side and bowed to them.
