This was perhaps the best sleep Lu Wanqing had ever had, because when she woke up the next day, she found it was already quite late, past seven in the morning, when she usually woke up at six.
Her third brother's presence had given her an unprecedented sense of security.
As she thought this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look in the direction of the floor mat, but as she looked, she found the space beside her empty. No one was there.
A sudden wave of panic surged through Lu Wanqing. She quickly got up, changed her clothes, and ran outside.
Where was her third brother?
Was yesterday just a dream?
Where had her third brother gone?
Lu Wanqing ran outside to find everything deserted. There was no sign of her third brother. She then suddenly thought of little Harvey.
As Lu Wanqing pondered, she quickly went to find Harvey.
But Harvey's room was also empty. The child was gone.
Lu Wanqing became anxious and hurried out to look for someone.
However, she quickly remembered that she had added her third brother and Harvey as friends on her Guangnao.
She quickly opened her Guangnao and sent a message to her third brother.
At this moment, in the Imperial Hall, Lu Yang was in a meeting with the four Grand Elders of the Empire and some high-ranking officials. His Guangnao suddenly vibrated. He lowered his eyes to look at it, and the expressionless man's face instantly softened into a gentle smile.
"I'm in a meeting," Lu Yang replied.
"I'll be back immediately," Lu Yang added.
"That little cub is with me, don't worry," Lu Yang sent a third message.
Meanwhile, little Harvey's Guangnao remained silent. It wasn't that Lu Wanqing hadn't sent him a message, but the Empire's meeting rules stipulated that everyone must turn off their Guangnao and focus on the meeting.
Only Lu Yang had the privilege of not having to turn off his Guangnao during such a meeting.
However, in the three hundred-plus years since the Empire's founding, this was probably the first time someone had messaged His Majesty during a meeting.
But it was clear that the Emperor, who was receiving personal messages during a meeting for the first time, had no intention of continuing the meeting.
After replying to Lu Wanqing, Lu Yang raised his head and looked at the numerous Imperial officials in the meeting hall. He said, "Today's meeting is adjourned. We will discuss the remaining matters later. Meeting adjourned."
The words "meeting adjourned" made little Harvey flinch, his eyes instantly lit up, and he was extremely happy.
Heaven knew that before dawn, his uncle had dragged him out of bed to start learning.
He was so sleepy and wanted to sleep, but his uncle's gaze was terrifying. With his mother gone, being stared at by his uncle, he inexplicably felt timid and was then taken here by his uncle.
There were so many people in the meeting, the entire hall was filled with people, and everyone looked incredibly powerful. The four old men with white beards from yesterday were also there. However, little Harvey noticed that everyone seemed to be afraid of his uncle.
And then there was the meeting...
Little Harvey's eyes were bright and he listened excitedly at first, but as an hour passed, then two hours... the meeting continued. He felt his buttocks starting to ache and wanted to leave.
But every time he tried to stand up, his uncle's large hand would reach out and press down on his head.
He was so smart that he naturally understood his uncle's meaning. His uncle wanted him to sit still and not leave!
Little Harvey refused to comply and retorted on the spot. However, with just one look from his uncle, he inexplicably felt timid and sat down obediently.
After a very, very long wait, he finally heard the words: meeting adjourned!
Little Harvey was extremely excited; it was finally over.
In the meeting room, all the officials were also shocked. This was the first time His Majesty had adjourned the meeting early!
The four Grand Elders, however, were silently guessing. His Majesty had clearly been replying to someone's message just now. Could it be Lu Wanqing's?
"Your Majesty," one of the elders suddenly stood up.
Lu Yang looked at the elder.
The elder: "..."
"Your Majesty, Miss Lu has just arrived at the Empire. Will she be lacking many things? Should we arrange for people to procure them?" the elder quickly said.
"My mommy isn't lacking anything, mommy has everything!" Little Harvey heard this and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
Little Harvey's greatest pride was his mommy's countless spatial buttons, which could store so many things. Mommy had everything, and no matter where they went, they would never lack anything.
"Procure them," Lu Yang said.
Since Qingqing had come, naturally, she should have the best. Those things from the Federation... were not worthy of Qingqing.
No one knew Lu Yang's thoughts. If the tens of billions of fans in Lu Wanqing's live stream knew, they would probably go crazy.
The goddess's things were not good?
Those were top-tier items from the Federation, all the best!
But such good things, in His Majesty the Emperor's eyes, were not worthy of Qingqing?
After leaving the meeting hall, Lu Yang walked directly towards the side hall.
Little Harvey guessed what was happening and quickly asked, "Uncle, was that my mommy who messaged you just now?"
Lu Yang stopped walking and looked down at the little cub beside him. "Call me Your Majesty."
Little Harvey: "..." 138 Reading Network
His Majesty the Emperor's aura was too powerful. Being stared at by His Majesty the Emperor, little Harvey inexplicably sensed danger.
"Your Majesty," the little one said sullenly.
"Mmm," Lu Yang was satisfied and nodded slightly.
Qingqing was not yet with him, so the little cub couldn't call him Dad yet. If he didn't want Qingqing to discover his feelings, would she be scared? They had only just reunited; he couldn't be too hasty...
As Lu Yang thought this, they saw Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing also came out from the side hall.
"Mommy!" Seeing his mother, little Harvey became instantly excited and ran over happily!
Lu Wanqing saw the adult and child, and the worry in her heart completely dissipated. She was happy.
"Where were you two?" Lu Wanqing asked with a smile, reaching out to catch the running little Harvey.
"Mommy, Uncle... His Majesty took me to a meeting," little Harvey said.
"A meeting?" Lu Wanqing was surprised.
Lu Yang explained, "Just a small meeting, it'll be over soon."
"It wasn't soon at all. It lasted a very, very long time. Before dawn, Uncle... Your Majesty dragged me up. He wouldn't let me move and insisted on forcing me to sit there and listen to their meeting!" Little Harvey couldn't help himself and started complaining with his mouth flapping.
Lu Yang cast a cold gaze towards little Harvey.
The cub, who had been so timid in the meeting room, was now with his mother and wasn't afraid of his uncle at all. He even glared at his uncle before continuing to complain.
Lu Wanqing, however, was surprised. Her third brother took little Harvey to a meeting before dawn?
Thinking of her third brother's identity, her heart beat a little faster. Was it that kind of meeting?
What did it mean for her third brother to bring Harvey along?
Did he want Harvey to...
"Third Brother, Harvey... is Xavier's child," Lu Wanqing couldn't help but remind him.
If they were to arrange an heir to the Empire, that person should be her third brother's child. How could her third brother...
"This gene was originally meant for me," Lu Yang said.
Lu Wanqing was instantly stunned and asked blankly, "What?"
