In the bedroom.
Long Rui sat energetically at the desk, reviewing docunts.
At this mont, Long Yi pushed the door open and entered: "Master."
"What’s the matter?" Long Rui asked without looking up.
"Great General Situ requests to see you."
"Not seeing him."
"Master!" Hearing this, Long Yi not only stayed but stood there, looking at Long Rui with sparkling eyes, as if he wouldn’t leave unless Long Rui t with General Situ.
"Why? I’m a sick man now, can’t just et people casually; besides, you know the situation, there are The Emperor’s spies everywhere in the manor. As soon as I et General Situ today, it will surely get to the palace and reach The Emperor’s ears by tonight."
"So what? Master never puts The Emperor in your eyes anyway."
"Respect should still be given, after all, he is The Emperor."
Inwardly, Long Yi pouted disdainfully, thinking that the master was using The Emperor as a shield because he simply didn’t want to et.
To prevent the master from missing his match with Miss Situ.
Long Yi didn’t hide the truth and directly said: "Master, General Situ is here to propose marriage."
"Propose marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Yongjie finally raised his head: "What marriage?"
"Proposing for Miss Situ."
"Oh?"
"Master, what do you an?"
"What do I an?"
"Do you agree or not with General Situ’s proposal? This way, you and Miss Situ can be together. Even if The Emperor isn’t happy about it, he won’t dare to openly interfere."
Two people clearly in love, so close yet unable to acknowledge each other, is indeed a painful situation.
Long Rui thought for a mont, then raised his head and said: "Invite General Situ."
These days, due to busyness, he hasn’t seen Xuexue for a long ti and misses her a lot. Now, hearing what Long Yi said, he felt a vague desire. It would be better to have Xuexue by his side, no more painful longing from afar.
He recalled those days in Mo Family Village, though ordinary, every day with Xuexue by his side was Long Rui’s most cherished mory.
Whenever he rembered these past events, a slight smile would appear on his lips.
He felt that spending a lifeti with Xuexue like that would be a delightful thing.
Long Yi, upon hearing the master willing to invite Situ Yongjie in, knew he had changed his mind, feeling very excited. Great, the master finally ca to his senses.
He promptly trotted outside to invite Situ Yongjie in.
Situ Yongjie, hearing that the Prince was willing to see him, understood that the Prince must agree to the marriage before allowing him inside.
After all, the outside world was abuzz with rumors that the War Prince was critically ill, not long for this world.
He hardly had the energy to et him; if not hopeful for easing his illness through joy, the Prince would surely have refused to et him.
Inside the room, Long Rui lay lifelessly on the lavishly decorated large bed.
His face still wore a cold mask, hiding his complexion, but seeing his usually robust physique now powerless on the bed made it clear he was gravely ill.
"Prince."
Situ Yongjie approached the bedside, softly calling.
"Hmm!"
Long Rui responded feebly.
Long Yi stood nearby, secretly amused, thinking the master had pretended to be sick for so long that he was now more convincing than a real patient.
He fetched a stool from afar, placed it beside the bed, and said to Situ Yongjie: "General, sit down and speak slowly with the Prince."
"Eh, alright!"

He replied while cautiously sitting down.
