Then, the Weirdo asked, "Who does that little brat fear?"
Xuexue pointed at Long Rui and said, "The person The Emperor fears the most is our War Prince."
"Oh?" The Weirdo scrutinized Long Rui with disbelief and said, "I can’t believe that brat even has soone he fears. He and his mother used to be so arrogant."
Xuexue: "It’s no secret; all the people in the Capital know it. If the Eldest Prince doesn’t believe it, he can ask around outside."
"Ah hahaha...!"
Suddenly, the Weirdo burst out laughing.
Long Rui and Xuexue looked at him bewildered, unsure what kind of chaos he was causing.
The Weirdo stopped laughing and said, "It seems our eting was arranged by Heaven."
Xuexue asked, "What does the Eldest Prince an by that?"
The Weirdo appeared very happy: "Isn’t it obvious? Heaven knows The Emperor and his mother are my enemies, yet it arranged for to et the Prince. Isn’t that a sign that I might get my revenge?"
Long Rui’s face darkened, and he said, "Handle your own grievances; don’t drag into it."
The Weirdo chuckled, "Is the Prince afraid of The Emperor?"
Long Rui sneered coldly, "The Eldest Prince doesn’t need to use provocation tactics. I don’t want to be involved in the Imperial Family’s struggles."
The Weirdo replied venomously, "With The Emperor aging, the struggle for succession is about to begin. As a high-ranking official, you might find it hard to stay uninvolved."
Throughout history, when a struggle for succession occurs, high-ranking officials naturally beco targets for the Princes to win over. So Princes even secretly bribe officials to achieve their goals, which The Emperor fears the most.
What the Weirdo didn’t know was that due to The Emperor’s distrust of Long Rui, he had placed many spies around him, even within the War Prince’s Mansion.
Although the Princes have wanted to win over Long Rui, they fear being under The Emperor’s watch. So far, no Prince has dared to try to recruit the War Prince.
Long Rui said icily, "The matters concerning require no concern from the Eldest Prince."
Long Rui was too proud. The Weirdo, frustrated, blurted out, "In that case, I can’t handle the Prince’s matters either."
Long Rui glanced at him without arguing and then turned to Xuexue, saying, "Darling, the miracle dicine is no use now. Drink it tonight; it will not only boost your martial power but also enhance your beauty. It’s wonderful! Once your health improves, we can have many babies."
Xuexue blushed and chided, "Don’t talk nonsense; there are others here."
Upon hearing Long Rui’s words, the Weirdo’s face changed imdiately and urged, "Hey, hey, Prince, I was just joking, kidding. Don’t forget, we have a year’s agreent; you can’t use that bottle of miracle dicine."
Long Rui shot him a cold glance, "Didn’t the Eldest Prince say he couldn’t handle my matters?"
The Weirdo smiled sheepishly, "Just kidding. Whatever Prince orders, I’ll comply."
Long Rui was finally satisfied, "That’s better. You may leave and rest; don’t interrupt my ti with my wife."
The Weirdo withdrew.
Due to his eccentric appearance and unique status, there was a constant fear that his identity might be exposed, causing unnecessary trouble. After careful consideration, Xuexue decided he wasn’t suitable to stay at the War Prince’s Mansion. She arranged for soone to buy a separate four-entry house for him in the Capital, so the Weirdo could temporarily settle down.
