War Prince’s Mansion, Rain Listening Courtyard.
Xuexue, dressed in undergarnts, was comfortably lying on the bed, her long black hair spread across half of it. Long Rui picked up a small handful and played with it, his eyes filled with affection.
He loved being with his beloved woman, just like this, peaceful days without intrigues. He knew that as long as he was in this position, it was impossible, as The Emperor constantly eyed him and wished to eliminate him quickly. Leaving would resolve everything.
However, those brothers who had followed him through life and death, fought in battles across the country, were likely to face misfortune after his departure. After all, The Emperor was famously narrow-minded and wouldn’t tolerate his confidants living in the world. He couldn’t bear that, it would be the lives of hundreds of thousands of brothers.
Xuexue glanced at Long Rui, who was deep in thought, and gently asked, "Husband, be honest, was the affair with the Fourth Prince your doing?"
Long Rui snapped back to reality, "Ah! My wife, don’t speak nonsense! Conspiracy is a cri deserving the extermination of the entire clan."
"Pfft!"
Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh aloud, "Are you afraid of extermination of the entire clan?"
"Afraid, who wouldn’t be?"
"But, how do you explain that day when you injured the Fourth Prince in front of The Emperor?"
"That day?"
"Stop pretending, it’s pointless."
Long Rui suddenly hugged Xuexue, laughed, and said, "I’m not teasing you anymore, honestly speaking! Imperial Doctor Zhang is my man, don’t say blinding him in one eye, even gouging out both would be fine."
Only then did Xuexue co to realize that Imperial Doctor Zhang was Long Rui’s man, no wonder the Fourth Prince was unlucky.
"Is the Fourth Prince’s eyeball really necrotic?"
"No, it’s just an excuse."
"But the Doctor said the sa thing before."
"The first ti dicine was already applied, ordinary doctors couldn’t see it, they thought the eyeball was necrotic, actually, it’s just a facade."
"Oh, I see." Xuexue nodded, and then asked with so confusion, "But, I didn’t see you have any contact with Imperial Doctor Zhang that day?"
At this mont, Long Rui was without a mask, revealing a face that could srize gods and n. He smiled with a slight curve of his lips, "We don’t need to talk, just a gesture and he understands."
All his confidants went through devil-like training. Besides martial arts, gesture language was one of them, activated in ergency situations. Outsiders wouldn’t even know they communicated before, so gestures are extrely secretive.
Even The Emperor doesn’t know about this secret.
Xuexue listened, dumbfounded. No wonder The Emperor feared Long Rui, this guy is strong and smart, a formidable opponent.
"Knock knock knock...!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Zi Xia’s voice calling out, "Prince, Miss."
Long Rui’s handso brow furrowed, grumbling with displeasure, "Zi Xia, that girl, doesn’t understand rules at all, knowing we are having a mont, yet she cos to disturb."
Xuexue rubbed his face forcefully, laughed, and said, "Don’t complain, the sun’s already up, ti to get up."
"Wife, I don’t want to get up?"
Usually very cold Long Rui, surprisingly acted coyly towards Xuexue. If his subordinates saw this, their eyeballs would drop out.
"If you don’t get up, others will laugh at you, hurry and get up!"
"No."
"Co on."
Xuexue tugged at him forcefully. Helplessly, although Long Rui’s physique seed very well proportioned and he had a good figure, when dragged up, he felt as heavy as a pig. Xuexue couldn’t pull him up at all.
