Chapter 53: Was The Emperor Doing This On Purpose

Zhao Qian was stunned when he heard the Emperor’s command, but only for a moment. Quickly, he reacted.

He was about to walk down the jade steps and take the porcelain bowl from Lu Liangwei’s hands when he heard his master said calmly, “Let Second Miss Lu bring it to me.”

Zhao Qian immediately stopped in his tracks.

Lu Liangwei finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the Emperor’s words.

This bowl of noodles she had cooked was not an ordinary bowl of longevity noodles at all.

She had added some medicinal herbs into the soup, which were beneficial to the Emperor’s hidden illness. At the very least, it would temporarily soothe his pain and control his condition.

She steadily carried the bowl of noodles up the jade steps and placed it on the imperial table.

It was only when she moved closer that Lu Liangwei realized Long Yang’s face was deathly pale— even his forehead was beaded thickly with sweat.

It was currently March and the weather at night was still slightly chilly. From the looks of the Emperor, he must have been thoroughly tormented by his illness.

He was obviously not feeling well, but he was still seated in a proper and dignified manner, so not a soul would be able to tell that there was anything wrong.

Lu Liangwei was truly impressed by the Emperor.

He was already so ill, yet he was able to maintain his posture. This showed how strong his determination was.

Right then, Long Yang’s eyes alighted coolly on her for a moment.

Lu Liangwei was startled and immediately lowered her gaze.

The Emperor had merely given her a casual glance, but strangely, she had felt an enormous sense of pressure.

Luckily for her, the Emperor quickly turned his gaze away.

Lu Liangwei sighed with relief and saw the Emperor looking at the soup bowl on the table.

Long Yang stared at the bowl in front of him and did not move for quite a while.

The contents of the bowl looked like an ordinary meal of longevity noodles. There were even some spring onions scattered on top of them. However, this normal-looking bowl of longevity noodles had just soothed his discomfort immensely.

What in the world had Lu Liangwei added to it?

Something suddenly occurred to Lu Liangwei when she saw that the Emperor had still not touched his chopsticks. She took it upon herself to get a plate, taking a small portion of noodles out of the bowl and placing it on the plate.
