Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 927
Chapter 927: Nuzzled Into His Arms Naturally
Long Yang was unable to sleep well that night.
His mind was filled with images of Lu Liangwei crying.
He tossed about in bed and slept fitfully.
The next day, Long Yang was in terrible spirits. As a result, his temper worsened, and everyone around him, from the officials of the imperial court to the servants by his side, tiptoed on eggshells around him. They were terrified of incurring his wrath and bringing trouble upon themselves.
Long Yang did not go looking for Lu Liangwei the entire day and forced himself not to think about her.
That was because the image of her tearful face appeared every time he thought of her, which gave him a pang of pain and only confused him further.
Zhao Qian and Chu Qi also avoided him and stayed far away.
They were not willing to become their master’s punching bag.
Sigh. The master who had forgotten about the Empress was truly temperamental. He was quite difficult to serve.
They could not help but envy Chu Yi.
Unlike them, that fellow did not need to follow their master about every day since he was handed the job of being Commander of the palace cavalry.
This would not have meant much if it was before.
However, their master had lost some of his memories and even his temper was unpredictable. His emotional temperament only made them want to avoid him more.
Sigh. Their master was a better person before.
Compared to the current version of him, their old master was loads better, but they had taken that for granted.
At night.
…
Chu Qi was on night duty.
He leaned against the corridor pillar to rest his eyes when a vague bumping sound was suddenly heard coming from the darkness.
His eyes immediately opened when he spotted a dark figure emerging in a flash from the bedchamber.
The immense speed would have made most people think it was nothing but a hallucination.
Chu Qi’s eyes narrowed as a thought crossed his mind. He leaned back again lazily and pretended he did not see a thing.
Grand Phoenix Palace.
Lu Liangwei had not slept well for the past few days too.
She was constantly reminiscing about His Majesty from before.
His Majesty had always stayed by her side and had seldom been far from her. He had always treated her gently and with so much tenderness; but she had never thought much of it back then.
Only now that there was a new comparison did she realize how precious His Majesty was to her.
She was about to drift off to sleep when she suddenly saw a figure standing next to the bed.
She was about to let out a scream when the man’s hand covered her mouth.
The familiar clean and fresh scent filled her nostrils, and her tensed body quickly relaxed.
It was His Majesty…
She blinked.
Perhaps it was simply due to the darkness of the room, but the appearance of His Majesty standing right in front of her held some resemblance to His Majesty from before.
Was His Majesty finally back?
A tear trickled from the corner of her eye.
The man’s hand quickly pulled back, as if burned.
Lu Liangwei calmed down when she saw this, but she could not help but feel disappointed.
She had imagined it…
She turned to the side quickly, lying down while facing the inside. She did not want him to see her looking flustered.
Long Yang initially wanted to leave just like that.
He found himself unable to sleep again, and for some reason, that led him to come looking for her.
He felt a little awkward when she discovered him, so he did not want to stay any longer. However, when looked at her bundled-up figure under the covers, his heart softened.
He stood where he was for quite a while, unable to make himself move.
The bed was huge and the sight of the girl bundled up into a tiny ball in one corner made her look quite forlorn and lonely.
Something stung his heart when he saw this and he could feel a muffled pain building inside him.
His eyes narrowed and he clenched his fists, as if he had just come to a decision.
She was the Empress he had married legitimately, right?
He began to convince himself of this.
He took off his outer robe, threw it to the side, and lifted the corner of the blanket as he laid down next to her without hesitation.
The bed was enormous and there was still a huge gap between both of them.
Lu Liangwei had not fallen asleep and was surprised when she sensed him lying down next to her. However, she was secretly delighted at the same time.
She hesitated for a moment before turning toward him.
