Lu Liangwei was still slightly skeptical when she heard this. “But the current Emperor of the Yan Kingdom has been on the throne for so many years and has earned the loyalty of the people. It won’t be easy for Youyou to get the throne back.”

“Without the late Emperor’s will, this would be a difficult matter, but Yuan Zheng does have the document and Youyou is indeed the legitimate heir to the throne. On top of that, the Yan Kingdom is currently facing fierce internal conflict. Youyou has a chance of winning if he desires to reclaim the throne,” Long Yang explained.

Lu Liangwei did not ask any more questions when she saw how confident Long Yang was. He must already have a proper plan in place; the man would not do anything without certainty.

However, there was still one thing tugging at her mind. “Why would you help Youyou, Your Majesty?”

Long Yang had eaten his fill. He placed his chopsticks down and looked at her soulfully. “What do you think of Beitang You?”

Lu Liangwei was caught off guard by the sudden usage of that unfamiliar name and did not react to it immediately.

However, she soon remembered that Youyou was royalty from the Yan Kingdom, it would only make sense for his surname to be Beitang. She found it rather agreeable.

“I’ve always thought of Youyou as my younger brother,” she replied sincerely.

“There you go then. Since you consider Beitang You a brother to you, I’m more than happy to help him out.” There was a small smile on Long Yang’s lips.

Lu Liangwei understood his intentions and hugged his arm. She looked at him with her beautiful, bright eyes. “Are you helping Youyou because of me?”

“Of course. Otherwise, why would I be such a busybody?” Long Yang raised an eyebrow.

Lu Liangwei gave this some thought and pouted. “If you’re helping Youyou reclaim the throne, it would benefit Great Shang as well. At the very least, it would be great for us if Youyou becomes Emperor of the Yan Kingdom and cements the relationship between both our countries. Besides, he would never forget this favor you did him and he’ll make sure to be on good terms with Great Shang for the rest of his life.

“This way, our countries would have a strong bond. At the very least, the Yan Kingdom would never be an enemy to Great Shang during Youyou’s reign as Emperor. We would even be able to isolate Danjue with this; if there were any plots from Danjue against us, our countries could combine forces and annihilate them easily. It’s highly beneficial to us.”

At this point, Lu Liangwei could not help but look curiously at Long Yang. “Tell me honestly, did you have anything to do with Wanyan Jin’s sudden return to Danjue? Were you the one that caused the internal conflict in Danjue?”

“Why would you accuse me of that?” Long Yang took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her lips as he replied in a cheerful tone.

“Because you’ll only be able to work better with Yuan Zheng once you get Wanyan Jin out of the way,” Lu Liangwei said observantly. Her pretty eyes looked at him with unhidden admiration. “You are a wily old fox, Your Majesty!”

“Old fox?” Long Yang pinched her waist. “How old exactly am I?”

Lu Liangwei noted the danger in his tone and she said, “I’m praising you. What I meant was that you have intelligence beyond your years, I didn’t say you were old.”

Long Yang darted a look at her. “Do you really think so?”

Lu Liangwei nodded sincerely. “My praise is as real as a genuine piece of gold.”

Long Yang looked her up and down. When his gaze fell onto Weiwei’s collar, the look in his deep eyes darkened.

He casually massaged her waist and suddenly said, “Besides the wedlock wine we’ve had on our first night together, we’ve never really had a drink together.”

His change of topic came too fast and Lu Liangwei could barely follow his pace of thought. “Why are you mentioning this?”

“Let’s have a drink tonight, Weiwei.” Long Yang was reminded of her words at Gentle Breeze Court the night before and suddenly wanted to see what she looked like when drunk.

Lu Liangwei suddenly became cautious. “Why do you suddenly want to drink, Your Majesty?” She was well aware of how badly she held her liquor. It would only take one cup to knock her out, whereas His Majesty could drink as well as her brother. She would be beckoning trouble if she drank with him. “Get Long Xuan to drink with you if you want. He seems to be quite the drinker.”
