C16 Dedication

In the end, Liu Weiliang didn't even look at Liu Weilan. The wound on her shoulder had indeed split open, and blood flowed out, dyeing the outermost layer completely red.

She covered her wound and moved back to the Palace of Tzion. The moment she saw it, Jadeite cried out in alarm and sent for the royal physician. He then helped her into the room to clean the wound and change the medicine.

The empress dowager had also heard the news and rushed over. Seeing her wounds open and feeling heartbroken, she kept nagging for a long time.

Hearing the empress dowager's nagging, Liu Weiliang smiled appreciatively. "Don't worry empress dowager, chenqie's injuries will recover soon enough. It won't hurt at all!"

"Silly girl, how can it not hurt?"

The empress dowager sat beside her, frowning as she wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. Because of the pain, Liu Wei's face was pale and his lips were bloodless.

After the injuries were treated, the empress dowager ordered Liu Weiliang to lie down on the bed to rest, while she stood guard by the side. "You said that you've only been lying down for a few days and yet you're being dishonest? It's still your fault that's suffering. This Dowager orders you to not get out of bed unless you're fully recovered!"

"Empress Dowager …" Liu Weiliang pouted and said coquettishly, "You've been lying here for so long, chenqie will get moldy."

"True …" The empress dowager muttered to herself, "Walking around This Dowager's palace is also good. Don't wander around any more, or your wounds will split open again …" "Oh right, little girl, where did you go just now? How did your wound split open?"

Liu Wei's eyes flashed and he lowered his head: "Chenqie accidentally fell."

"Lies!" "If you lie, This Dowager will be able to see it!"

Liu Weiliang was silent as he thought about the success rate this time.

Seeing that Liu Weiliang didn't answer, the empress dowager's face fell. "Emerald!"

Jadeite came in quickly and answered.

"Go and check where the third wangfei went. Find out who she met and what she said!"

Liu Weiliang acted as if he wanted to dissuade him. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The jadeite was extremely efficient, so after a short while, he told her about how he met Nangong Chu when he went to the An Kang Palace.

The more the empress dowager heard, the darker her expression became. Finally, she sighed and said helplessly, "You can go on down. Don't talk about this outside."

"Yes." Jadeite lowered his head and backed out.

The empress dowager sighed again and tightened her grip on Liu Weiliang's hand. "Little girl, I've wronged you. That bastard Chu'er …"

He was her son, after all. She couldn't bear to punish him.

Liu Weiliang laughed coldly in his heart. He suddenly got up and knelt on the bed, saying earnestly, "May the empress dowager have mercy on chenqie and give her an imperial edict. Let us part ways!"

The empress dowager observed her for a while. When she saw the resolution in her eyes, she sighed and said, "Peace and separation are not small matters. This Dowager will consider it again. Girl, if you're still determined to leave in three months, This Dowager will definitely give you this imperial edict!"

It wasn't easy for the empress dowager to make such concessions. Liu Weiliang nodded and kowtowed sincerely, "Thank you, empress dowager!"

This matter was temporarily skipped. Later on, the empress dowager called Nangong Chu into the palace and talked for two hours. No one knew the details, but they knew that when Nangong Chu left the palace, his expression was so dark that water would drip out.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. Liu Weiliang's injuries had mostly healed, and he had intended to return to the palace, but the empress dowager had stayed behind.

So it was going to be a hunt soon. Even the Nangong Clan wanted to go, and the empress dowager was no exception. Liu Weiliang was supposed to travel with Nangong Chu, but the empress dowager was afraid that Nangong Chu would leave her in the palace. She specifically ordered Liu Weiliang to walk with her.

The empress dowager's carriage was a huge one drawn by four white horses. The interior of the carriage was neat and tidy, with a few soft seats and a few jadeite seats.

Liu Weiliang's status wasn't high enough to sit with the empress dowager, so the empress dowager gave orders for Liu Weiliang and Liu Weilan to ride in the same carriage.

The group set off early in the morning. Liu Weiliang and Liu Xiaolan shared a carriage and the empress's carriage was extremely luxurious. The carriage was spacious and bright and the environment was very good.

When Liu Weiliang got on the car, Liu Weilan was resting against the cushions. She didn't say anything and just quietly sat to the side, admiring the magnificent scene of the ancient royal hunting squadron leaving.

The carriage moved exceptionally smoothly. Liu Weiliang was lost in thought as he gazed out the window. At some point, he suddenly heard Liu Weilan's lazy voice behind him.

"What is sister thinking? Why is she so lost in thought?"

Liu Wei Liang turned his head and saw that she had woken up. He smiled: "It's nothing, I was bored and wanted to take a look at the scenery outside."

At this moment, the carriage had already left the city, and the scenery outside was indeed pleasing to the eyes.

Liu Xiaolan accepted the tea from the maid and took a sip gracefully. Then, he said slowly, "Although the scenery is beautiful, you must not be distracted by it."

"Of course." Liu Weiliang nodded, but his heart was puzzled. Why did Liu Weilan's attitude toward him seem to have subtly changed?

Sure enough, Liu Xiaolan continued, "You must know better than me who should and who should not love."

Liu Weiliang looked at her in surprise. Liu Weilan's intention was to warn her not to be tempted by Nangong Chu. What a joke. It was fine if others were to say those words, but what qualifications did she have?

"Of course I know." Liu Weiliang said flatly, "I would not do something like a private meeting."

Liu Xiaolan's expression changed and he no longer spoke.

After a day and night of travel, the team finally arrived at the royal hunting grounds. The advance team had already set up their tents in advance. They only needed to rest for the night before they would start hunting tomorrow. When the carriage stopped, the emperor Nangong Ao and Nangong Chu appeared in front of the empress's carriage. Liu Weiliang also had no reason to not see Nangong Chu after getting off the horse carriage.

Nangong Ao wore a military uniform, revealing his sturdy and tall figure. He smiled as he extended his hand, his eyes filled with warmth, "Queen, I will come to pick you up and bring you back to the camp."

On the other hand, although Nangong Chu's appearance was not inferior to Nangong Ao's, his expression was as ugly and hard as a rock in a latrine.

According to etiquette, Liu Weiliang would have to wait for Liu Weilan to appear after he got off the carriage. Liu Weilan was the first to be led off the carriage. With a smile, he extended his hand to Nangong Ao.

However, when she lifted her foot, she suddenly turned to Nangong Chu and gently said, "Prince, there is no need to worry. My sister is a little girl, so she wants to come.

With just a few simple words, she had made Liu Weiliang sound like a spoiled young lady who didn't understand and liked to cause trouble!

Liu Weiliang was inside the carriage, so she couldn't hear what was being said outside. When it was her turn to get off the carriage, she opened the curtain and saw Nangong Chu's back.

Even though the empress dowager was in charge, it was still up to Nangong Chu to make her living and eating. Liu Weiliang quickly jumped off the car and ran to catch up.

After arriving at Nangong Chu's tent, Liu Weiliang was pleasantly surprised to see Yan Yue accompanying them. Naturally, the master and servant were delighted to see her again, especially in the wilderness. Yan Yue could save them most of the trouble.

That night, Yan Yue brushed her hair and complained, "Ever since you recuperated in the palace, the prince has often lost his temper in the palace, and the young prince has also been scolded twice by him for no reason. This time on the road, his face is extremely ugly, and no one dares find him, or else he will be punished again."

Liu Weiliang didn't mind: "He stinks, we play with him, just ignore him."

Yan Yue said with a worried face, "How can I ignore this? Mistress, you are living with Your Highness tonight."
