However, Long Yang did not seem to hear her. He propped himself up with one arm, and with the other, he reached behind her and supported her waist, making her lie on her side facing inward.

Lu Liangwei bit her lip and wanted to stop him, but remembering how restrained he had been all this time, she decided to let him have his way.

In the end, Long Yang was still careful not to be too intense for fear of hurting the children in her womb.

After it was over, Lu Liangwei fell into a deep sleep.

Long Yang remained awake as he held her close, unable to fall asleep even after a long while.

The next day.

Lu Liangwei woke up later than usual.

When she rose, Long Yang was no longer in the bedchamber.

Anxious about the antidote’s effects, she washed up and dressed hastily, then left the bedchamber to go to the imperial study.

However, she had just stepped out of Grand Phoenix Palace when she caught sight of the man strolling toward her from a short distance away.

She stopped in her tracks and stared at him, her eyes filled with urgency and nervousness.

Long Yang had already spotted her, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a tender and charming smile.

Lu Liangwei blinked at the sight of the man’s familiar gentle expression, and the next instant, she started to descend the flight of steps.

However, her agitation caused her to trip on her way down.

Long Yang’s face paled, and he immediately dashed over to catch her from falling.

Lu Liangwei was also startled, and she gripped the front of his shirt, her heart still hammering in her chest.

Seeing how petrified she was, Long Yang could not bring himself to scold her at all and scooped her into his arms instead.

Only then did Lu Liangwei recover from her shock, and she stared at him, her eyes never leaving his face.

Sensing her gaze, Long Yang asked with a smile, “What are you looking at, Weiwei?”

At his words, Lu Liangwei’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she raised her head and looked at him as if in a trance.

The Emperor finally remembered her…

Hearing him call her Weiwei after so long triggered her tear ducts, sending an uncontrollable stream of tears down her face.

After losing his memories of her, the Emperor had never called her that even during their intimate moments.

Because of that, she had always felt that something was missing.

Now, the Emperor finally remembered her and called her gently by her maiden name like how he used to.

When Long Yang saw her teary eyes, he felt as if something had pricked the most tender part of his heart, making it ache terribly.

He lowered his head and kissed away the tears on her face.

Lu Liangwei still held on to some rationality in the presence of the palace servants, and she turned away hastily.

Long Yang merely smiled and, suppressing the overflowing emotions in his heart, carried her into the bedchamber.

As soon as her feet touched the floor, Lu Liangwei threw her arms around his waist, unwilling to leave his side.

“Your Majesty…” There was a catch in her voice.

Feeling his heart constrict, Long Yang lifted the girl’s chin and gazed at her tenderly. “What are you crying for, silly girl?”

“I’m just so happy.” Lu Liangwei pouted and buried her face in his chest, smearing her tears all over his shirt.

Long Yang was overwhelmed with guilt.

He knew that he had done a lot of terrible things to her after he had lost his memory.

Sighing, he stroked her head and pulled her close to him. “I’m sorry for making you suffer during that time, Weiwei.”

In his arms, Lu Liangwei shook her head and clung tighter to his waist.

The Emperor finally remembered her!

They embraced each other for a long moment before finally letting go.

Long Yang sat her on his lap, casting worried glances at her huge belly and her face, which had not gained the slightest bit of fat. “You’re only six months pregnant. Why is your bump already so big?” Remembering what she had told him yesterday, he paused, then asked, “Are you really carrying twins?”

Lu Liangwei shook her head as she fingered the silk thread on his shirt. “I’m not sure either. It’s just Mother’s and my guess.”

Long Yang placed a hand on her stomach, and at that exact moment, there came a throb.

He froze, and it took him a moment to realize what that was. “The baby’s moving inside.”

Lu Liangwei gazed at him warmly, the joy in her eyes on the verge of overflowing. “Yes. The baby’s saying hello to you.”
