Chapter 899: Chapter 899: The Last Straw
Long Rui and his entourage sped on horseback and soon left the city gate, arriving at Suxin Garden.
Just as he dismounted, Long Yi approached and whispered, “Master, seeing Madam Wang’s deanor earlier, I fear she has gone to et that person again.”
Long Rui frowned: “Is it the fifteenth today?”
According to past observations, every fifteenth of the month, Madam Wang would sneak out of the War Prince’s Mansion, pretending to rest in an inn, then disguise herself and et with The Emperor to report on the recent situation of the War Prince’s Mansion.
“It is not.”
Since today was not the fifteenth, Long Yi found it unusual, so he specifically ca to remind the War Prince.
Long Rui raised his eyebrows: “Keep a close watch on her.”
The War Prince’s Mansion was not just him; he had many people under him. If sothing happened to him, given the Emperor’s extrely suspicious nature, they might all be buried with him. At that ti, he feared the entire Moli Country would be littered with corpses, so Long Rui had to be very careful.
“Yes,” Long Yi responded.
At this ti, several servant boys ca out of Suxin Garden, and seeing the War Prince, they led the horses in to feed them.
The War Prince was a prominent figure in Moli Country; the servant boys had already rushed to inform the Fourth Prince of his sudden arrival.
Although the Fourth Prince was displeased with the War Prince, he dared not offend him openly. Hearing the servant boy’s report, he hurriedly brought everyone to greet him at the entrance.
“War Prince, what wind has blown you here today?” the Fourth Prince let out a hearty laugh.
“This Prince heard that the Fourth Prince invited many beauties for an autumn outing here today, so I ca to have a look, haha…!”
After saying this, his eyes swept across the crowd, yet he did not see the figure of the charming lady.
The War Prince’s lecherous reputation was well-known throughout Moli Country.
The Fourth Prince imdiately understood—clearly, the War Prince ca here to seek beauties.
Hearing this, the other maidens quickly lowered their heads. Despite the War Prince’s prominent status, his unsightly appearance under the mask made them extrely cautious.
Thus, all the maidens feared being fancied by the War Prince, dropping their heads lower and lower, wishing they could bury their heads in their laps to hide their faces from the War Prince.
Now, apart from the scandal of Second Miss Situ from the General’s Mansion, the gossip about the War Prince’s romantic escapades dominated the Capital.
Just a few days ago, more than a dozen concubines died in the War Prince’s Mansion. It was said that the War Prince was too vigorous and forgot to restrain himself, causing the beams in the room to break.
They were literally crushed to death by the beams. Hearing this news made them all fearful and hesitant about approaching the War Prince’s Mansion.
“With beauties aplenty in the War Prince’s Mansion, the War Prince jests,” the Fourth Prince said lightly, his words insincere.
All the noble maidens present today were targets the Fourth Prince wanted to win over; naturally, he didn’t want to give the War Prince an opportunity.
War Prince: “It’s also necessary to change tastes occasionally.”
“Since you’re here, please, War Prince,” despite his reluctance, the Fourth Prince maintained a good facade.
Long Rui, not seeing the person he wished to et, was also anxious; without another word, he strode beside the Fourth Prince and walked in.
When Xuexue heard that the War Prince had arrived, she alertly took Little Baby to the small woods in the east.
In the woods, shielded by trees and with dew still on the leaves of the grass, a gentle autumn breeze caused little flower petals to sway gently.
Xuexue and Little Baby climbed a tree, lay on the trunk, and chatted. Unintentionally looking down, they suddenly saw several hopping bunnies coming out in search of food.
