Chapter 900: He Had Been Misunderstood Quite A Bit
The more Long Yang thought about it, the weirder it sounded. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed. “What sort of hidden illness did I have?”
Lu Liangwei sneaked a look at him and when she noticed him looking unhappy, she immediately yawned in an attempt to distract him. “I’m getting tired. Let’s go back.”
Long Yang grabbed her by the wrist. “You’re not allowed to leave before explaining yourself.”
Lu Liangwei stamped her feet and said coquettishly, “I’m really tired. I’d like to go to sleep. Whatever there is that needs explaining, let’s do it tomorrow, alright? Besides, it’s cold here.”
She nuzzled into his arms as she said this.
Long Yang embraced her in his arms and even covered her right side with his fur overcoat. However, he did not plan to let it go. “So, you’re not planning to explain, are you?”
When Lu Liangwei saw him acting this way, she knew she would be spending the entire night here if she did not explain herself. So, she decided to just jump straight to the point. “Frostbite is a poison that would prevent you from producing heirs. Your Majesty was tortured by this knowledge for so many years, so aren’t you the person who would know this best?”
Long Yang went green in the face. He guessed long ago that the girl had misunderstood him quite a bit, but he had no idea she really believed this.
Was she really under the assumption that he was not able to perform back then?
It was true that he could not do it in the early years, but after being treated by Chief Physician Lin, he had been cured of this particular problem ages ago. By then, however, the poison had already seeped deep into him and his health had been severely jeopardized.
Even though this was all in the distant past, he still felt slightly embarrassed by it now that he was recalling the memory.
This was especially so when the girl brought it again.
Lu Liangwei felt the man’s body stiffen and she could sense he was getting extremely angry. She began to feel quite unsettled.
She should not have mentioned this when the subject was supposed to be taboo.
After all, His Majesty was already cured of it. Not to mention, he was a man. It was a huge embarrassment for him to admit that he was not able to perform once upon a time.
“I was the one who said the wrong thing. Don’t be angry, please?”
She tugged on his sleeve and looked extremely troubled by this.
Long Yang lowered his eyes to look at her. He gave a long sigh after a while and rubbed her head gently with an expression of slight exasperation. “I’m not angry. Don’t overthink this.”
Only this girl dared to act so brazenly with him.
He was the ruler of a nation, yet, when faced with this girl, he would lose all sense of dignity.
However, she was the Empress he had chosen, and she was his wife. What dignity did he need in front of her?
He was the one that had cared about it too much.
Lu Liangwei still seriously regretted what she did, so she pulled on his hand and apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry. I promise never to mention this again.”
“I’ve told you, there’s no need for you to overthink, nor is there a need to apologize,” Long Yang said in a carefree manner and hugged her around the shoulders as he led her back to Grand Phoenix Palace.
“Are you thinking that I did not lay my hands on any of the concubines only because I was unable to perform?”
Lu Liangwei was taken aback but said nothing.
Long Yang knew he had guessed right when he saw this. He sighed. “It’s not what you think. I’ve never touched them because I had no intentions of doing so. Even when I was cured, I did not harbor any desire for anyone, until I met you…”
He paused. He remembered what had happened the time he consumed the cure for Frostbite. Back then, the girl had accidentally touched his…
It was also at that same time when he experienced that indescribable euphoria.
After that, he realized he had developed a desire for that girl who was so much younger than he was, and he had even felt a little ashamed about it.
However, he felt happy every time he saw her. It was a joy that emanated from his heart to every corner of his body. In the end, he made the decision to make her his no matter what the cost.
Lu Liangwei could not help lifting her head to look at him when he suddenly stopped after talking for a while, only to find herself looking into his burning gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat. For some reason, it reminded her of the same memory of what happened back then.
