Chapter 235 - 233. Form an Alliance I (1/2)
Third-person POV
”Cursed Land?” Lu Ping and Weisheng both said at the same time.
”Yes,” Long Yang nodded his head.
The earnestness that Long Yang showed on his face proved that he didn't lie. Weisheng furrowed his brows and stared at Long Yang.
”First of all, what is your relationship with my Empress that you didn't use any honorifics when you address her?” Weisheng asked with a menacing tone.
Weisheng was aware that Long Yang had a hidden feeling towards Hong er as he received a piece of news regarding Long Yang visited Hong er when she was about to marry him. But he didn't think much about it because he trusts Hong er and moreover, Hong er rejected Long Yang through a letter that she wrote herself.
”For now, there is no special relationship between us. But we don't know the future.” Long Yang spoke with his grey eyes staring at Weisheng's blood-red eyes.
”Then use honorifics, Seventh Prince. Zhen won't tolerate anyone who doesn't respect my Empress.” Weisheng reprimanded with his deep voice.
Although Weisheng's voice was calm, they could hear there was an underlying threat in his voice.
Long Yang clenched his jaw and bowed his head, ”My apologies, Your Majesty Emperor.”
”En. Continue.” Weisheng replied.
Lu Ping narrowed his eyes and closed his fan, ”Did Seventh Prince say that Her Majesty Empress in Cursed Land? Do you have anything to prove the authenticity of your statement?”
Long Yang was deeply aware that his words seemed unbelievable. And to add it, his identity made him harder to be believed by Weisheng and Lu Ping. Da Chu and Da Qi's current relationship is very strained.
The Xu family, the Da Qi's Empress's family, was publicly stamped as a fugitive by Da Chu's Long royal family which means the Long royal family disregarded Liu royal family's face and insulted Liu royal family to the whole world.
”That Murong Qing came to me about a month ago and asked me to join hand because I have the support of the Second Prince. Maybe she doesn't realize this because she is a fool, but she is clearly used by someone who wants to take over Your Majesty Emperor's throne by force.
At that time, she came to me by herself therefore I managed to fool her to spoil her plan. She didn't tell me directly where she would hide Her Majesty Empress, but I heard her whispering 'Cursed Land' under her breath when she rambling about the love between her and Your Majesty Emperor.” Long Yang glanced at Weisheng.
Lu Ping sighed in his heart as he believed that Long Yang was saying the truth when Long Yang mentioned Murong Qing's obsession with Weisheng.
”Of course, I rejected her. No matter how flawless one's plan is, if the executor is a brainless fool, then high chances it will fail.
I may be weak, but I am not a fool. Furthermore, I care about Her Majesty Empress and definitely won't do anything that will harm her no matter how much I want her.” Long Yang shot Weisheng a meaningful glance.
Weisheng didn't budge by Long Yang's provocation. He leaned on his throne seat and rested his cheek on his fist.
”Why us?” Weisheng asked indifferently.
From all the people that Long Yang could ask for help, why must he choose Weisheng? Weisheng is Hong er's husband and could be said Long Yang's most difficult love rival. Moreover, Weisheng had a deep hatred towards the Long royal family because of the Xu family's defamation.
”Your Majesty Emperor has an excellent intelligence agency and every information that revolves around this world, you must have aware of it.” Long Yang swirled the teacup in his hand.
