Chapter 1049: Lu Liangwei Allowed His Majesty To Do As He Deemed Fit
Lu Liangwei said pointedly, “Did she give you such a small amount? Or did you hide the rest, Jiu?”
Chu Jiu glanced at her. “Is this too little? Please give it to me, then. I was the one she wanted to bribe, anyway, and I’ve done what she asked. I didn’t reveal her presence to you.” Chu Jiu had initially planned to inform Lu Liangwei about Li Tong’er’s presence at the imperial holiday home after taking her money. However, Li Tong’er had conspicuously jumped into the lake before she could do so.
Lu Liangwei took a sharp breath and rubbed her arms, laughing drily. “Your Majesty, the fish is nibbling on your bait.”
Long Yang grunted coldly. “I wanted to catch a few more for you to boil into soup tonight, but I think it’s not necessary now.”
Lu Liangwei noticed he was looking grimly at the box in her hand. She blinked and very dutifully passed the box over to him. “Please do as you deem fit, Your Majesty.”
Long Yang took the box and threw it into the middle of the lake without looking at it.
Lu Liangwei gave a shout when she saw where the box landed in the water. It was such a waste.
That was an entire box of golden leaves.
Even though she was not short of money, and had plenty of gold, who would ever say no to having more wealth?
“Do you find it a pity?” Long Yang’s eyes narrowed.
Lu Liangwei sighed and said untruthfully, “No, I don’t.”
Long Yang’s expression relaxed slightly. “I can give you however much gold you desire, but you’re not allowed to accept any from others.”
Lu Liangwei nodded vigorously and said obediently, “I’ll listen to you, Your Majesty.”
Long Yang finally felt satisfied and caressed her hair. He held her hand and both of them sat by the lake once more.
Lu Liangwei quietly criticized him. Could His Majesty be jealous of Jiu again?
Just because Jiu had given her the golden leaves?
That box of golden leaves was such a pity!
