Chapter 1126: His Majesty’s Love For Weiwei Was So Deep

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Dowager Duchess’s eyes turned wet when she talked about what happened that day.

She had witnessed mountains of corpses during her younger days, but the memory of how His Majesty lost his mind sent chills down her spine.

She had never expected that His Majesty’s love for Weiwei was so deep.

If she had not knocked him unconscious with the help of Zhao Qian and others sneaking an attack on him while he went berserk, she could hardly imagine what he would have done.

Weiwei had stopped breathing then and the Dowager Duchess was worried that His Majesty might wake up at any time to harm the children, so she requested Chief Physician Lin to give him some sleeping medicine and they locked all information from leaking out of the Palace to stop the news from being spread.

!!
When she heard the story of His Majesty losing the will to live, Weiwei’s tears hung on her eyelashes, as if unsure whether they should drop. Weiwei held her breath upon hearing those words.

Why was His Majesty so foolish?

“You’re more important to His Majesty than the children. The only reason he wanted children was because of you. Without you, the children would mean nothing to him. He felt that what had happened to you was caused by the child and therefore directed all his blame and anger at her,” the Dowager Duchess continued. Even though she felt His Majesty was being extreme, it would not be wise to point any fingers at him.

The Dowager Duchess was also saddened by what happened to Ji’er and she could only hope that the child was safe and sound, and that His Majesty would be able to find her and bring her home.

“Grandmother…” Lu Liangwei lunged into the Dowager Duchess’s arms and began sobbing.

“Silly girl. It’s all in the past now. Don’t stay angry at him when His Majesty returns. I can tell that he is feeling deep regret. There must be much sorrow in his heart too.”

Even if they managed to find Ji’er, His Majesty might not be able to face her once the child grew up.

“I understand, Grandmother.” Lu Liangwei wiped away her tears.

The Dowager Duchess patted Lu Liangwei’s back. “You’ve slept the entire day without eating anything. I’ll get someone to bring over some congee for you. Have a good rest once you’re done eating.”

“Where’s Yin’er and Yaoyao?” Lu Liangwei asked.

“Don’t worry. The nannies are taking care of them. They’ve fallen asleep next door,” the Dowager Duchess told her consolingly.

Lu Liangwei nodded. “Alright.”

The Dowager Duchess turned to leave, but it was not long before she returned holding a bowl of chicken congee in her hands.

Lu Liangwei panicked slightly. “Grandmother, why didn’t you get someone else to bring the food?”

“I’m the one who wants to take care of my Weiwei. I don’t want them to do it for me,” the Dowager Duchess said with a chuckle.

Lu Liangwei felt she was about to cry. “Grandmother…”

The Dowager Duchess tousled her hair. “Why are you still crying until your nose is red when you’re already a mother? Hurry up and wipe away your tears, and eat your congee.”

Lu Liangwei quickly wiped her eyes when she heard this. She took over the bowl and began eating with gusto.

She had to get herself together so her grandmother would not worry anymore.

“Eat slowly. Don’t choke yourself.” The Dowager Duchess quickly reminded her when she saw Lu Liangwei eating without reservation.

Lu Liangwei finished the congee very soon and showed the Dowager Duchess the empty bowl, saying, “I’m fine now, Grandmother. There’s no need for you to worry about me. Go on ahead with Aunt Lan and have your rest.”

His Majesty was not in the Palace for the last two days and Lu Liangwei had completely broken down following the full moon banquet two days ago. Her grandmother was the one holding everything together.

Her grandmother was now so old, but she still had to worry about them. Lu Liangwei felt that she had been very unfilial.

The Dowager Duchess was quite exhausted by now and when she saw Lu Liangwei was doing fine, she said, “Alright. I’ll have my rest now, but I’ll return to the Palace to see you tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Lu Liangwei wanted to get up and see her off, but the Dowager Duchess stopped her.

“It’s just a few steps away. There’s no need for you to see me off. You should have more rest and allow your body to recuperate properly.”
