Long Yang turned his eyes toward him. Despite the coolness of his gaze, there was an authoritativeness in it, which startled Yuan Zheng. He did not expect an envoy to possess such a mysterious and intimidating aura.

Suppressing his shock, he smiled warmly. Please dont misunderstand, Minister Lin. I dont mean any harm; I just wish to know your status in Great Shang. I hope you can forgive my rudeness.

Indifferently, Long Yang s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to Lu Liangwei and watched her eat.

Noticing her special fondness for the lotus leaf steamed duck, he put two more pieces in her bowl.

Lu Liangwei beamed at him and used her chopsticks to serve him a piece as well. You should eat some too.

Their casual display of affection made Yuan Zheng feel like a third wheel, and he cleared his throat, ready to break the awkwardness, when Long Yang suddenly said nonchalantly, Actually, Im also curious to know if you have the late Yan Emperors will.

Yuan Zheng was staggered by his words, and it took him a while to regain his composure. Im not sure what you mean.

Lets just be honest with each other, shall we? I already know that you have the late Yan Emperors will. Otherwise, I wouldnt have spoken to you. Long Yang stated his purpose frankly.

Yuan Zheng fell silent, and at the same time, a probing edge entered his eyes.

Two days ago, when Minister Lin had revealed to him that he knew where the late Crown Princes son was, he had already started to grow wary.

However, he had been unsure of his purpose, so he set up this banquet to sound him out.

Now, it seemed that the man was interested in the will he had in his possession.

Yuan Zheng had always thought of himself as shrewd after having been in the court for decades, but this man in front of him was a complete mystery to him; he could not identify his motive at all.

What exactly do you mean? After a while, the smile faded from Prime Minister Yuans face, and he asked solemnly.

According to the news I received, youve been looking for the late Crown Princes son for many years. Long Yangs reply drained the color from Yuan Zhengs face.

You

A small smile appeared on Long Yangs lips. No need to be alarmed, Prime Minister. I wont reveal this to anyone.

Prime Minister Yuan let out a sudden laugh, but there was no amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes. Are you threatening me?

Not at all. Long Yang was unfazed. But Id like to know why youre looking for the late Crown Princes son.

At this moment, Prime Minister Yuan had calmed down, and he performed a salute facing the palaces direction. Im doing this out of loyalty to the Emperor. I wish to soothe his worries by ensuring that there arent any remaining allies of the late Crown Prince.

Long Yang merely gave him a wordless glance. Seeing that Lu Liangwei had finished her meal, he said, I didnt know you were so loyal, Prime Minister Yuan. I guess Ive misjudged you. Thank you for the meal today.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped Lu Liangweis mouth before helping her up. Farewell, then!

Yuan Zheng stared after them in stupefaction as they left the room. He did not expect them to walk out without even sparing him any chance of negotiation.

Recalling what Long Yang had said before he left, Yuan Zheng smiled to himself ruefully.

To think that he was, at this age, still being led around by the nose by a young man!

However, what did Minister Lin mean?

There was clearly sarcasm in his words before he left. Could Minister Lin have found out about his secret deeds?

His heart pounded in alarm at the thought.

After leaving Gentle Breeze Court, Long Yang and Lu Liangwei returned to the coaching inn.

Now that Lu Liangweis hunger had been appeased, drowsiness started to overtake her, and she let out a yawn.

Long Yang chuckled. If youre tired, go take a nap.

You want to nap together? Lu Liangwei gazed at him sleepily.

Long Yang caressed her cheek, c.o.c.king an eyebrow in amus.e.m.e.nt when he saw her tearing up from the sleepiness. Are you sure you want me to join you?
