Give Poisoned Wine

As long as the Emperor treated Weiwei well, nothing else mattered.

She said kindly, "Not at all. Weiwei, keep His Majesty company. I'll have the servants start preparing lunch this instant."

After the Dowager Duchess left the room, Lu Liangwei turned to look at Long Yang. Seeing him staring at the Dowager Duchess's retreating figure, lost in thought, she could not help tugging at his sleeve. "What're you staring at, Your Majesty?"

Long Yang shifted his gaze to Lu Liangwei and took her hand in his. "It's nothing. It's just that I can't help thinking of my grandmother whenever I see the Dowager Duchess."

Lu Liangwei stared at him in surprise.

Long Yang explained, "My grandmother, Empress Dowager Xiaoyi, was just as kind as the Dowager Duchess. When I was young, I lived with her for a while. Unlike most noblewomen, she was very easy-going. Whenever she was in the mood, she'd make me a bowl of noodles or some snacks."
