If Long Yang had died of the poison, the Second Prince would have been the most likely candidate for the throne, right?

Why would he want to wait for a few years until Long Yang died from poisoning before ascending to the throne? Would he still have the opportunity after waiting for so long?

There was still the Prince of Xiangyang within the imperial family, not to mention the son of the late Crown Prince, Long Chi.

Something did not add up for her.

Long Yang found her appearance extremely adorable when he saw how she frowned while deep in thought. “You think that something doesn’t add up too, right?”

Lu Liangwei nodded. “Yes. Are you thinking the same, that things aren’t as simple as they seem, Your Majesty?”

“Yes. I have never believed that this was done by the Prince of Lasting Peace, but I had just ascended to the throne back then and Danjue was aggressively eyeing us. Not to mention that I was constantly tortured by the pain from the ailment inflicted on me. I didn’t have the energy to get to the bottom of the matter. All I was able to do was to suppress it.” Long Yang paused at this point.

He stared at her with his deep, soulful eyes and suddenly said tenderly, “I’m lucky to have met you, little genius physician Weiwei. Otherwise, my life would have come to an early end.”

Lu Liangwei’s heart tightened. She suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, “My parents haven’t fallen out yet back then. Why didn’t you reach out to my mother for treatment?”

“I did think of her, but your mother and father were already in an awkward situation by then. Before I could summon her to the Palace, her bad news had reached me.”

This triggered something in Lu Liangwei’s memory and a thought flashed through her mind, but it went by so fast that she was not able to fully grasp it. She frowned and mumbled, “How could this be such a coincidence?”

Long Yang sighed. “Do you think that whatever happened to your mother all those years ago had something to do with me being poisoned?”

Lu Liangwei gave a start as she suddenly thought of something and sat straight up. Her eyes shone exceptionally brightly. “Your Majesty, I have a theory that Madam Zheng was arranged by the same person who poisoned you to go to the Grand Duke Mansion with her child. It must have been to create discord between my parents. With my mother’s stubborn and straightforward temperament, she would never have accepted such a situation and continue to stay in the Grand Duke Mansion.”

“Moreover, my mother was known as the genius physician back then and only she was able to cure your Frostbite. That must be why the mastermind put in so much effort to force her out of the imperial capital. Mother had also told me before that a big group of assassins had pursued her when she left the imperial capital. She had no choice but to fake her death by jumping off a cliff. She wanted to get her revenge on my father, but it was also to stop the assassins from coming after her and prevent future trouble.”

Long Yang sat up as well. He could not help smiling when he saw her twinkling eyes. “Your analysis sounds quite reasonable. However, if Madam Zheng was a chess piece for this mastermind, how would you explain the fact that she had spent the night with your father? Do you think the person behind the scenes would have made such intricate plans just to anger your mother and make her leave?”

Lu Liangwei replied uneasily, “How could you be so sure that my father had really spent the night with Madam Zheng? It could be that my father had been tricked by Madam Zheng’s underhanded tactics.”

Long Yang rubbed her head when he saw her looking slightly upset. “It’s just my hypothesis. I didn’t say your father had for certain betrayed your mother.”

Lu Liangwei understood what he meant, but she still felt a slight headache at the thought of the ambivalent relationship between her parents.

Sigh. She sorely wished that the reality was that her father was tricked by Madam Zheng, and that he never actually betrayed her mother.

She hoped that her parents could make up.

“Alright, you’re not allowed to continue thinking about this. Get some sleep now.”

Lu Liangwei lay down.

Long Yang tucked her in and got up from the bed.

“Aren’t you going to sleep, Your Majesty?” Lu Liangwei sat up and asked when she saw this..
