Chapter 380: Master Brought Second Miss Lu Into The Little Forest
“Pack me a set of one of Second Miss Lu’s dresses,” Chu Qi ignored Zhu Yu’s question and spoke methodically.
Zhu Yu’s eyes immediately widened at the words.
“Why would my Miss need to change her dress for no reason?”
Chu Qi was slightly annoyed. “How would I know?”
“Don’t you follow by His Majesty’s side closely?”
“Master brought Second Miss Lu into the little forest. I didn’t follow them,” Chu Qi frowned after saying this. He could not understand it either. Why would his Master not allow him to follow them there?
Zhu Yu instantly had a bad feeling when she heard this.
His Majesty had taken the effort to send Chu Qi off with an excuse and he had brought Miss to the little forest to be alone together. Could it be that he had done something to Miss?
He was also requesting a new set of clothes?
It could not be what she was thinking, could it?!
Zhu Yu suddenly felt like the world was collapsing about her.
She felt a little angry.
How could His Majesty act this way? Her Miss was innocent and pure, and he wanted to violate her?
If the Dowager Duchess found out about this, not only would she break Zhu Yu’s legs, she might even kick Zhu Yu out of the Grand Duke Mansion.
Zhu Yu almost cried for her future there and then.
When Chu Jiu saw Zhu Yu fall into a reverie of her own thoughts and space out from the outside world, she decided to pack Lu Liangwei’s dress herself.
It took some difficulty for Chu Jiu to find a set. She was about to pass it to Chu Qi when Zhu Yu snatched it from her.
“I’m going along to serve Miss.”
Chu Qi frowned. “Master didn’t say you could go.”
“His Majesty has had a ‘meal’ of my Miss. I want to go and take care of her, yet my service is being refused. That is crossing the line.”
Chu Qi and Chu Jiu gave each other puzzled looks. Zhu Yu was speaking strangely. Their master was not some barbarian, how could he be making a ‘meal’ out of Second Miss Lu?
When Chu Qi saw her making such a fuss, he grew worried about the delay she had caused, and he did not want to upset his Master. He snatched the dress from Zhu Yu’s hands, leaped up, and flew off.
Zhu Yu shouted at him in anger, “Do you think you’re so great just because you can fly?”
…
The imperial holiday home had a hot spring. Lu Liangwei was now enjoying the hot spring, which she had been sitting in for quite a while.
Right then, the melodious sound of a zither could be heard from outside. She could not help but become engrossed in the music for a while.
Long Yang played the zither very well. It was like flowing water that gently caressed her ears with its beautiful sounds.
She did not worry at all about Long Yang suddenly barging in.
Even though he had crossed the line a few times, he had limited his actions to kisses. He had not done anything past that.
If he really was a person of unruly character, he would not have stopped himself at that point every time.
Lu Liangwei suddenly felt a little sleepy as she listened to the relaxing sounds of zither music from outside. She was about to doze off.
However, she knew she should not fall asleep right now, so she tried to keep herself alert and stay awake.
It was after some time that the zither music stopped, and footsteps could be heard on the other side of the folding screen.
“Weiwei, I’ve placed your dress on the table. You can pick it up here yourself.”
The man’s husky voice could be heard coming through the folding screen. Lu Liangwei’s sleepiness immediately left.
“Alright.”
Lu Liangwei got out of the water only after she heard the footsteps leaving.
She got out of the spring and went behind the folding screen. She peered outside and only reached out her hand when she saw that no one was outside. She grabbed the dress from the table and put it on.
Outside the room, Long Yang was leaning against the pillar in the corridor.
He had strong internal strength and he actually had fantastic hearing ability. He could hear every movement in the room.
He had heard her coming out of the water. She should have put on her clothes by now.
His dark, mysterious eyes darkened further.
He did not stay long and eventually turned to leave.
Right then, Chu Qi came walking in quickly from outside. Chu Qi quickly presented him with an envelope upon seeing Long Yang. “This was sent here urgently from the frontier.”
Long Yang frowned as he opened the envelope and read its contents. He pushed the letter back into the envelope after that.
Lu Liangwei had cleaned herself up and walked out. She could not see Long Yang and was just about to look for him when she saw him turn a corner at the far end of the corridor.
