Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Long Yang held Lu Liangwei’s hand. “Let’s go.”

“Alright.” Lu Liangwei nodded. She was about to follow him down the city gates when she spotted a familiar figure standing outside the gates.

She turned quickly to say to Long Yang, “Your Majesty, I just saw my mother. I’d like to go over and speak to her.”

Long Yang glanced toward the outside of the city gates and nodded. “I’ll accompany you.”

Lu Liangwei shook her head. “You have a lot of work to do. There is no need for you to bother with me. I’ll go home on my own after I have a talk with Mother.”

Long Yang pinched the spot between his brows. He was about to say something when Lu Liangwei interrupted him. “I’ll be going down now.”

With that, she brushed away his grip and quickly descended the city gates.

Chu Jiu quickly followed behind without needing Long Yang to give the order.

Long Yang gripped the side of the city walls as his almond-shaped eyes narrowed. There was nothing much he could do about this.

This girl had left him on his own the moment she spotted her mother.

He could not help but feel slightly unhappy.

It seemed that he could never take over the place of her family in her heart.

He stood there, thinking about this for quite a while before finally walking away from the city walls.

Long Chi and a few officials had their own respective thoughts when they saw the Emperor left behind by the Empress.

When Long Chi saw Long Yang about to get into the carriage the moment he came down from the city walls, Long Chi immediately approached him and offered, “Royal Uncle, Royal Aunt is still outside the city. I am willing to wait here and escort her back to the Palace.”

Long Yang paused as he was about to board the carriage, and turned back to give him a glance. The smile on his lips looked a little chilling.

“The Crown Prince wants to escort the Empress back to the Palace?”

Long Chi’s head lowered further as he replied with respect, “I don’t have any work on my hands at the moment. I’m willing to render my services to Royal Aunt.”

“Render your services?” A small smile appeared on Long Yang’s face. He drummed his slender fingers against the carriage.

Suddenly, he turned and said in a warm tone, “If that’s the case, how about I promote you to be the Empress’ coachman? This way, you can render your total loyalty to your Royal Aunt and go wherever she goes.”

Long Chi almost broke out in cold sweat. He had not expected his Royal Uncle to think up of such an arrangement. For a moment, he had no idea how to react to it.

It took him quite a while before he finally forced himself to reply, “I, accept…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Long Yang interrupted him nonchalantly. “Chi’er, why are you taking this seriously? I’m just joking with you. You’re the Crown Prince. How could you even be doing such low-level labor? Even if you no longer want to be the Crown Prince, you shouldn’t act so rashly. No matter what, you’re still a descendant of royal blood. I need to think thoroughly about where is the best position to place you.”

With that, the cold sweat dripped down from Long Chi’s forehead.

“I…thank Royal Uncle for your graciousness.”

“It’s what I should do. Since you have nothing on your hands now, go on and wait for your Royal Aunt here. Remember to escort her safely back to the Palace. Not one hair on her head is allowed to be harmed.” Long Yang went onto the carriage after finishing his instructions.

Zhao Qian glanced at the Crown Prince and mumbled in his heart about how little the Crown Prince cherished his title. The Crown Prince must have felt too secure in his place to be creating trouble for himself.

His master had always been bothered about the Crown Prince and the Empress’ past. The gossip they had overheard in the imperial garden that day must still be bothering his master. Yet, the Crown Prince insisted on poking the bear’s cave. It was just his luck that his master had nowhere else to vent his frustration, and now took it all out on the Crown Prince.

Anything that involved Her Highness would immediately turn his master into an extremely petty man.

Zhao Qian shook his head and got into the carriage.

The other officials’ minds began to imagine different possibilities after hearing His Majesty’s words.

Judging by what his Majesty just said, there was an undertone of abolishing the Crown Prince’s title.

The few of them could not help sneaking a look at Long Chi.

Could it be that it would soon be the end of Long Chi’s reign as the Crown Prince?
