Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 739

Chapter 739: Executed

Hearing this, Long Chi glanced at her scornfully and drew his sword as well. “You have a death… Hkk!”

Before he could utter the word “wish”, something slipped through his open mouth and down into his throat.

Holding his neck, he glared at Lu Liangwei bitterly. “What did you give me?”

Lu Liangwei grinned at him. “I’m sure you’ve heard of the saying – courtesy demands reciprocity, my dear Prince.”

Shock colored Long Chi’s face. “You gave me an aphrodisiac?”

Lu Liangwei cocked an eyebrow. “So the medicine you splashed on me just now was an aphrodisiac?”

Long Chi looked a little uncomfortable.

Lu Liangwei looked at him contemptuously. “Don’t worry, I’m not as obscene as you. However, the medicine that I developed can’t be eliminated easily. Enjoy yourself tonight, Prince.” She then said to Chu Jiu, “Let’s go.”

Chu Jiu sheathed her sword and walked off behind her.

When the two of them had disappeared from view, Long Chi finally came to his senses and returned to his courtyard right away.

Judging from Lu Liangwei’s words, she was clearly saying that she had given him an aphrodisiac.

A wicked smile formed on his lips.

If he could get some action tonight, he would have to thank Lu Liangwei.

He hurried back to look for Beauty Lin, but the moment he stepped into the courtyard, he felt an unbearable pain in his stomach. Unable to stand it any longer, he dashed to the lavatory.

Meanwhile…

After Lu Liangwei did not return for some time, Long Yang got up and returned to the temporary imperial residence to look for her himself.

Although she was safe with Chu Jiu protecting her, the darkness of the night made him a little worried.

If Weiwei wanted to go to the bathroom, she would probably go back to Green Bamboo Court.

He headed to Green Bamboo Court with Chu Qi in tow.

The place was called Green Bamboo Court because there was a bamboo forest in the courtyard, and the lavatory was situated right in the thicket’s depths.

When he could not find Lu Liangwei in the house, he made his way toward the bamboo forest.

However, he had just passed the rockery when he caught sight of a familiar figure standing by the bamboo trees in front of him.

Weiwei wore a moon-white wide-sleeved gown tonight, and the person before him was also wearing a moon-white dress.

As the light was a bit dim, Long Yang thought that she was Weiwei and walked toward her.

“Weiwei, what took you so long? Where’s Chu Jiu? Why isn’t she with you?” There was a slight pause in his footsteps.

Just then, the woman leaning against the bamboo suddenly turned around and threw herself into his arms.

“Your Majesty, I love you so…”

However, before she could finish, her entire body was sent flying through the air like a rag doll.

“Ahhhhhh!”

An anguished scream pierced the quiet night, frightening the birds in the bamboo forest as they took off into the night sky with a flurry of flapping wings.

The Virtuous Consort crashed to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. She stared emptily at the night sky, still unable to understand how she ended up like this without even doing anything yet.

Just now, when she touched the Emperor’s sleeve, she wanted to drug him with the medicine the Empress Dowager had given her. However, before she could carry out the second step, she was kicked away.

How could the Emperor… be such a cold-blooded person?

In that case, had all her and the Crown Prince’s painstaking efforts for tonight went to waste?

Tears flowed from the Virtuous Consort’s eyes.

What frightened her more was still to come.

In the gloom of the night, she suddenly heard the Emperor’s terrifying voice boom, “In light of the Virtuous Consort’s assassination attempt on me, she shall be stripped of her title and executed immediately!”

Horrified, the Virtuous Consort ignored the pain on her body and struggled to get up. “Your Majesty, that’s not true! I didn’t…”

Shluk!

Her attempts at defending herself were cut off by the sickening sound of a blade penetrating her flesh.

She toppled backward, and the last thing she saw was a young man withdrawing his sword coldly..
