Lu Liangwei lowered her head. She did not take it to heart, but replied nonetheless, Your Majestys rebuke is right. I will definitely change.

Whether its offending me in my face or slandering the Crown Prince behind his back, either one of those is an act punishable by death.

Long Yangs voice was very bland, yet for some reason, it gave off an oppressing and suffocating pressure.

Lu Tingchens heart sank, and he begged frantically, Please do not be angry, Your Majesty. My sister

Lu Liangwei tugged on his sleeve, motioning that he should stop begging.

Lu Tingchen turned his head and glared at her, the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows furrowed with resentment.

This foolish brat. Did she even know what she was doing?

If the emperor wanted her life, it was a simple matter of a few words.

Lu Liangwei released his sleeve and addressed Long Yang in a calm manner, If Your Majesty wants to punish me for my wrongdoings, it would just be a simple matter of a single sentence. But my sins were only that I should not have entered the study room, and I should not have gone up to save Your Majesty without knowing my place, despite seeing Your Majesty in distress.

If I had not meddled, there would not be such a situation today. This is all the result of my own actions, so if Your Majesty wants to convict me, then I can only surrender to your punishment.

Long Yang gave an angry huff of laughter, and his eyebrows seemed to ice over. You say that you shouldnt have meddled, yet you also say that your meddling has saved my life. This is to remind me that youve been gracious toward me. Hence, with everything youve said, the conclusion is simple. Im repaying your grace with vengeful punishment, is that right?

Lu Liangweis back was straight as she met the monarchs deep and unreadable eyes. She replied in a manner that was neither self-deprecating nor overbearing. If Your Majesty wants me dead, then I have no choice but to die, to say nothing of the fact that I am someone who has not contributed to the country. If Your Majesty wants to sentence anyone, why is a reason necessary?

At this moment, the atmosphere in the study room became even tenser. Zhao Qian was constantly sweating buckets of cold sweat, not at all daring to look at the emperors face.

This Second Miss Lu had such great gall. Daring to speak like this to the mastershe was dead meat!

The corner of Long Yangs lips quirked up, both like and unlike a smile. I never knew that the Second Miss Lu had such wit! If I were to convict you, will you accuse me of being a fatuous person?

Lu Liangwei lowered her head. I wouldnt dare. Subtly, she ma.s.saged her knees with her fingers.

Ever since she transmigrated over, this was the first time she had to kneel in front of someone like this.

This feeling was uncomfortable as h.e.l.l!

Previously at the Duke Mansion, she had not felt it yet, but at this moment, in front of the man who held all authority and controlled their lives and deaths in the palm of his hand, she fully felt the true power of imperial supremacy.

In front of the imperial power, it was intolerable for her to not lower her head. After all, the other party was a ruthless and cruel monarch.

Oh, do you really not dare? Based on Long Yangs slightly raised voice, no one could tell if he was happy or angry, but it suspended their hearts for some unknown reason.

Lu Liangweis head was bowed down. At this point, she no longer dared to meet the monarchs gaze, and she spoke earnestly instead. Your Majesty, I know that the death penalty is difficult to escape. I implore Your Majesty to give me a chance to make things up to you.

A chance to make things up to him?

Long Yangs gaze fell on the slender fingers she had placed on her knees. He was a little surprised. She was still a young maiden, but even when facing the emperor, she surprisingly did not seem to be the least bit panicked. Instead, she was keeping her cool. She was even calmer than the veterans in the court.

He developed a sudden desire to hear what she had to say.

As the emperor had not said anything and he had not cut her off, Lu Liangwei continued. I know a way to treat Your Majestys illness. Even if it cannot heal you completely, at the very least, it can extend your life.

Zhao Qians heart stuttered. He shouted fiercely, What gall! How dare you curse the emperor!
