Chapter 741: Weiwei Had Already Lost All Her Sanity
Long Yang was puzzled. Why would Long Chi know that he was with the Virtuous Consort just now?
Or maybe he deliberately said that in front of Weiwei to cause a rift between them?
Lu Liangwei put her hand to her forehead, and when he remained silent, she tugged at his sleeve uneasily. “What took you so long just now? What were you doing with the Virtuous Consort?”
If he had really done something that she could not accept, she would make him regret it by dumping him.
Long Yang glanced at the sleeve she was holding, a smile flickering across his eyes at her words. He really loved it when she got all sulky like this.
He wrapped her hand in his palm and leaned into her ear again, whispering, “The Virtuous Consort pretended to be you to seduce me, so I sentenced her to death.”
His breath tickled Lu Liangwei from her ear all the way to her heart, and just when she was at a loss for what to do, his words came like a bolt from the blue. “The Virtuous Consort’s… dead?”
“Yes.” Long Yang stroked her silky hair and murmured indifferently.
Lu Liangwei was a little dizzy.
Although she understood the necessity of destroying root and branch, she was still unable to process the news of the Virtuous Consort’s sudden death.
What on earth did she do to make Long Yang kill her?
The bonfire party went on until midnight before finally ending.
After returning to Green Bamboo Court, Lu Liangwei ordered the servants to prepare water for her bath.
They were going back to the palace tomorrow, and Long Yang had instructions for Chu Qi, so he went to the imperial study.
After her bath, Lu Liangwei still felt hot all over. She knew that it was because of the medicine Long Yang had splashed on her.
Since it was an aphrodisiac and not poison, ordinary detoxification pills naturally could not relieve its effects.
Fortunately, she managed to react quickly and spit the medicine out, but she still ended up swallowing some of it through her saliva. Although she had taken several antidotes, they only temporarily suppressed the medicine’s properties, and now that their relieving effects had worn off, the aphrodisiac started raging in her body again.
It was already late autumn, and the nights were cold, but she still felt unbearably hot.
She loosened the front of her gown and lay down on the bed, but after several rounds of tossing and turning, she still could not fall asleep.
When Long Yang came back, he thought that Lu Liangwei was asleep. After was.h.i.+ng up, he walked back to the bed, only to see Lu Liangwei suddenly kick off the covers.
He glanced at her in surprise.
He did not expect that she would kick off the covers.
For a long time, this girl had always slept properly without kicking them off, and she could sleep in the same posture until daylight.
Leaning over, he was about to pull the covers over her when he met her misty eyes.
“What’s wrong, Weiwei?” He paused and looked at her with a frown, only to discover that there were beads of sweat covering her fair forehead.
Startled, he reached out to wipe them off when the girl threw her soft arms around his neck and wrapped her slender legs around his waist.
“What took you so long?” There was a little choke in Lu Liangwei’s voice, and her body trembled as she found his lips.
Long Yang immediately tensed up.
He was astonished to see Weiwei so eager.
However, he quickly calmed down as he realized that Weiwei was not her usual self.
Cupping her face in his hands, he kissed her back as he asked gently, “What’s wrong?”
“I…I’m under an aphrodisiac…” Lu Liangwei felt terribly uncomfortable. His slowness made her impatient, and she tore off his belt straight away and slipped her fingers underneath his clothes.
Long Yang let out a moan and stared at her in astonishment.
Lu Liangwei had already lost all her sanity, and the only thing she wanted right now was to relieve her body of the discomfort..
