Bab 1071: Held Her Dear To His Heart

Ling Lihua sighed. What else could she say?

"I'll go to the frontier with Shenzhi tomorrow. Please take care of Weiwei, Mother."

"Weiwei's my granddaughter; of course I'll take good care of her. Don't worry," the Dowager Duchess promised.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Zhao Qian returned to the palace to report back to the Emperor.

"You two should get packing now so you can leave as early as possible tomorrow," the Dowager Duchess urged.

"Of course," Lu Hetian answered respectfully as he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then we'll go back now," added Ling Lihua.

"Very well. Off you go." The Dowager Duchess waved a dismissive hand.

At night in the palace.

Lu Liangwei ate dinner alone as Long Yang did not come back. He merely asked Zhao Qian to inform her that he might not be coming over that night and that she should have dinner and go to bed early.
