Chapter 1009: The Emperors Heart Belonged to Her And Her Only

After Madam Li and her daughters visit the day before, she had thought about keeping this matter a secret.

However, she could tell that Madam Li was an ambitious person. She may have been rejected by her, but she would never give up that easily.

She would definitely find another way.

She had heard some things about Li Tonger and how Brother had not punished the Li Family despite being humiliated by her.

Could Brother have let the Li Family off the hook because he had once taken a fancy to Li Tonger?

The thought filled her with concern.

However, Madam Li was too full of herself to think that she would willingly become Li Tongers stepping stone for the sake of personal benefit. Little did she know that she was not interested at all.

Weiwei had always treated her with courtesy, and she was kind to Zhier, too. Why should she make an enemy of Weiwei for someone she barely knew?

Did Madam Li think she was an idiot, or did she think her daughter would definitely surpa.s.s Weiwei?

How ridiculously foolis.h.!.+

Nevertheless, despite how dishonorable Madam Lis actions were, it was still better to be wary of a cunning woman like her. What if she really managed to find herself an opening?

Therefore, she had come to the palace today to inform Weiwei of this matter so that she could be mentally prepared.

Lu Liangwei caught sight of the hesitancy in her eyes, and a person instantly came to her mind.

Was she referring to the Li Familys daughter, the one who used to be engaged to the Emperor?

Why would Madam Li and her daughter visit Long Qingzhi?

She looked at Long Qingzhi in puzzlement.

After a pause, Long Qingzhi warned, Li Tonger was divorced by her husband and has returned to the Li Family.

These words were enough to make Lu Liangwei realize the purpose of Madam Li and her daughters sudden visit.

I see, she replied coolly, not at all concerned about Li Tonger.

She did not think that the Emperor would fall for a divorced woman. Besides, the Emperors heart belonged to her and her only.

If the Emperor would fall for Li Tonger, he would never have set her up to elope with another man.

Until now, Li Tonger was probably still oblivious to the fact that she had been tricked.

If she were to show up in front of the Emperor and try to charm him, she would only be humiliating herself.

However, Long Qingzhi, unaware of the truth behind Li Tongers elopement, was worried to see her so unfazed. She had met Li Tonger the day before and found that she was indeed a beauty, though completely different from Weiwei.

Like a fragile willow, she exuded a sickly, pitiful air that could easily arouse a mans protective instincts.

If she wanted to, she could probably tempt any man she desired.

Weiwei, I dont mean to demonize anyone, but Madam Lis a really ambitious woman. You should watch out for her, she advised earnestly.

Lu Liangwei chuckled. Dont you trust the Emperor?

Hearing this, Long Qingzhi avoided her gaze and said a little sheepishly, Men are all the same.

Back when she was in Danjue, although the Prince loved her, he still ended up sleeping with a maidservant.

This incident had left a chip on her shoulder.

However, she was only a princess from a foreign kingdom, and no matter how unhappy she was, she could not do anything about it.

Fortunately, the Prince dealt with the maidservant later to eradicate her irritating presence and also make his stance clear.

Otherwise, she would probably have been unable to survive in Danjue.

Lu Liangwei seemed to understand something from the sadness in her voice and the flicker of melancholy in her eyes.

She hesitated but did not inquire about it. She said, Thank you for worrying about me, Royal Sister. How about this? The Emperors birthday is at the end of this month, and its been a while since weve livened things up in the palace, so Ill ask the Emperor to invite all the court officials and their families for a splendid celebration. If Li Tonger doesnt pull any tricks, I can ignore her, but if she does, I wont go easy on her.

Long Qingzhi was startled to hear how she was capable of influencing the Emperors decisions. She had long known that Brother doted on her, but not to this extent.

Her tone was so nonchalant that it was as if she could make the Emperor promise her anything she wanted.

However, she was still amused by her last few words.

You sound like youre getting revenge for me.

Lu Liangwei batted her lashes and shot her a grin. Madam Li upset you, so Im going to make her life difficult for her.

Long Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, but then chuckled when she realized that she was referring to her unpleasant memories just now. All right. I look forward to it.
