392: Something Within Him Stirred

Something Within Him Stirred

Lin Qingyuan's expression changed. She decisively ran toward the direction where the two men had disappeared.2

Using the crowd as a cover, Ling Qingyuan followed behind them and saw them pulling the oxcart out of the city with her own eyes.

Lin Qingyuan clenched her teeth and continued following them from afar.

Eastern Palace.

Lu Yunshuang was sipping the nourishing chicken soup served to her by the servants. Days had passed and it has been a month since her miscarriage. Her diet, clothes, and daily necessities had been carefully curated for the entire month, and she looked especially pink with health from all the nourishment.

Lu Yunshuang looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied with her curvier self.

When she saw Hong Xiu returning from outside, she asked, "Has everything been settled?"

Hong Xiu nodded and smiled. "It's all done."

Lu Yunshuang finally felt relieved.

Hmph. How dare Chen Qiyu went against her? She will make sure Chen Qiyu died without even knowing why. 

"Your Highness, I've received news that the Dowager Duchess and Second Miss have returned to the capital," Hong Xiu suddenly said.

Lu Yunshuang paused, and her expression fell slightly.

"We'll talk about this tomorrow. Make preparations for today first. I'd like to serve His Highness in bed."

Hong Xiu nodded. "I'll make preparations right now."

It had not been easy for the Crown Princess to get through the month. She had taken great care of herself for the past month.

The Crown Princess had carefully nurtured herself from inner health to outer beauty, all for today.

Now that Chen Qiyu was gone, the Crown Princess was naturally impatient to serve the Crown Prince in bed. If she could get pregnant in one night, it would be the best news in the world.

Hong Xiu did not delay any longer as she quickly went to make preparations.

Nighttime.

Lu Yunshuang got readied a table of delicacies and instructed Hong Xiu to invite Long Chi over.

Long Chi initially did not plan to go over as he had a lot of work to finish, but he suddenly remembered that Lu Liangwei had returned to the capital. Maybe, he could urge Lu Yunshuang to visit the Grand Duke Mansion tomorrow. If he accompanied Lu Yunshuang back, he would be able to see Lu Liangwei.

With that thought in mind, he flung the brush from his hand, got up, and headed toward Lu Yunshuang's courtyard.

Lu Yunshuang was seated in her chair and did not expect Long Chi to arrive so quickly. This delighted her greatly.

He still cared for her, just as she had thought.

She took the rare initiative to get up and welcomed him. "You're finally willing to come over?"

Long Chi stared at her face, which she had put on make-up exquisitely, and wrapped his hand around her waist casually. "Why? Are you missing me?"

Lu Yunshuang hit him gently as she lowered her head shyly, affirming this in a soft voice.

Long Chi's lips curved upward as he hugged her. "I'll accompany you tonight."

Lu Yunshuang was thrilled, but she did not betray her emotions. She held his hand as she sat next to the table, saying gently, "I've prepared wine and delicacies. Try them, Your Highness."

This worked very well on Long Chi.

Women should always be obedient to men, unlike…

His eyes narrowed. There will come a day that he would make Lu Liangwei obey his whims and fancies, just like Chen Qiyu, who would do anything to win his favor.

The next day at the Grand Duke Mansion.

Lu Yunshuang was feeling proud and somewhat accomplished when she returned to the Grand Duke Mansion today.

She had spent the entire night with the Crown Prince yesterday. When he found out that she was going back to the Grand Duke Mansion today to visit her grandmother, he immediately put down his work to accompany her home personally.

Lu Yunshuang was especially smug when she saw the servants avoided eye contact with her.

So what if Lu Liangwei married the Emperor? She would ultimately be a widow and her glory days would not last long. 

Lu Yunshuang's fingers unconsciously caressed her belly, as if life had just been created within. Her entire person was glowing and she looked energetic.

Long Chi did not notice the smug look on Lu Yunshuang's face. His mind was filled with thoughts on what would it be like when he saw Lu Liangwei later.

Despite that woman being particularly mean with her words recently, he did not find it annoying. Instead, something within him stirred at the thought of her.
