52 Long Yang’s Strangeness

No one had noticed that Long Yang's knuckles were white around his cup. His forehead, which was clear and bright as jade, was also covered with tiny beads of sweat.

He glanced at the young girl standing in the middle of the hall, and said in a low, dignified voice, "If that is so, you may come forward and present your gift to me."

Long Yang's strangeness was noticed not only by Zhao Qian but also by Lu Liangwei.

According to the original novel, the Emperor's secret illness would manifest at his birthday banquet. He would faint during the event, causing no small amount of disturbance.

It would even go to the extent of news being spread within and outside the imperial court about the Emperor being on his deathbed due to his illness.

As a result of this, many of the court officials who were still on the fence and in no hurry to take sides took their stand en masse and supported Long Chi.
