Chapter 1154: Each Of Them Was A Formidable Character
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, she had also heard that the internal fighting within the Yan Kingdom was quite serious.
The Emperor had numerous sons and each of them was a formidable character. All of them wanted to claim the dragon’s throne.
The horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of a mansion that belonged to one of the Princes.
A handsome man soon appeared from the building with a group of servants behind him. He was clearly the owner of this mansion.
Long Chi had gotten off the carriage and was exchanging greetings with the man. After that, he returned to the carriage and released Lu Liangwei from her pressure point.
!!
Beitang Rui heard the sound of chains and turned to look. He saw Long Chi helping a woman down from the carriage.
That woman wore a long, white dress that trailed on the ground. On her head was a veiled hat that covered her face. Her body was slender and curvy, and she gave off an air of elegance.
Her body and charisma were enough to mesmerize anyone. It was not difficult to imagine that the face under the veiled hat would be ravis.h.i.+ng.
However, he quickly turned his gaze away.
The sound of chains must have come from her. However, this was someone else’s personal matter and it was not polite to ask about it.
“Brother Long Chi, please come in!” He ushered Long Chi in with a welcoming gesture.
Long Chi replied with a subtle nod and held Lu Liangwei’s hand as he followed Beitang Rui into the Prince’s mansion.
When they got inside, Lu Liangwei’s gaze swept across the mansion’s signage.
Clearly written on it were the words ‘Prince Rui Mansion’.
She turned her gaze away and walked quietly next to Long Chi.
After that, Long Chi went off to chat with Beitang Rui while Liu Fu and Jiang Chong took her to a corner of the courtyard.
Beitang Rui had prepared a courtyard specifically for Long Chi.
Liu Fu was about to activate Lu Liangwei’s pressure point when they got into the room when she suddenly looked up and took off her veiled hat. Her clear, cold eyes shot a deadly stare at him.
Liu Fu was taken aback by the chilling look in her eyes and stopped his action. He asked in a low voice, “Is there anything you need, Your Highness?”
Lu Liangwei said nothing. Her gaze turned to a teapot on the table.
Liu Fu understood what she wanted and quickly poured her a cup of tea.
Lu Liangwei drank from the cup and pa.s.sed the empty cup back to him.
Liu Fu took the cup from her and was about to activate her pressure point when she suddenly lifted her hand to rub her stomach, indicating that she was hungry.
Liu Fu darted a look at her, feeling slightly impatient. However, he could only tolerate her antics when he thought of how Long Chi was treating her. He got Jiang Chong to watch over Lu Liangwei as he left to get someone to prepare a meal.
Lu Liangwei sat down once the dishes were served and began to eat slowly.
She was actually able to speak now, but she did not want them to find out, otherwise, they would activate her mute pressure point. If that happened, she would not stand a chance.
Lu Liangwei ate very slowly. By the time Long Chi returned, she was still eating.
Long Chi looked at her and the expression on his face softened. “Why are you having your meal so late?”
Lu Liangwei did not even look at him.
She wanted to buy as much time as possible by eating slowly as she did not want her pressure point to be activated.
When Lu Liangwei saw him return, she lost her appet.i.te and placed her chopsticks down, getting up to leave the room.
Long Chi was taken aback and quickly got up to pull her back. “Are you planning to go out?”
Lu Liangwei shot a cold look at him. She gave it some thought and nodded.
Long Chi remembered that she had been stuck in her room or the horse-drawn carriage all this time, and she might have been bored out of her mind. With that in mind, he quickly agreed to her request. “You can have a walk around the courtyard.”
Lu Liangwei pulled her hand away from his and walked toward the courtyard.
This courtyard was prepared for Long Chi by Beitang Rui. He had also arranged a group of maids to serve Long Chi, but he had rejected the offer.
As such, there were no servants from the Prince’s mansion in the courtyard.
The courtyard was isolated and quiet. The environment was elegant and relaxing. Clearly, Beitang Rui saw Long Chi as an important person.
Lu Liangwei looked around the courtyard as she came to these conclusions.
However, what was Long Chi doing in the Yan Kingdom? Was he seeking help from Beitang Rui?
