Xiao Jiu immediately shrieked, "Master, Master, don’t fall for it, he said he was going to roast Xiao Jiu to eat."

Why is its fate so miserable? Even lying down, it gets shot.

Xuexue looked at Long Rui with beautiful eyes, "Really?"

Long Rui vigorously shook his head, "No, no, it definitely heard wrong."

Xuexue looked at him, half-smiling, "I seem to have heard you say that too. Did I hear wrong as well?"

Long Rui had an enlightened expression, knocked his head, and said, "Oh, it was my mistake, your husband spoke too fast, misspoke, should have said to roast my meat for Xiao Jiu to eat, haha...!"

Seeing such an adorable scene from the Prince, the servants almost all fell over, Prince, where is your integrity? Your coldness? Where have they gone?

Xiao Jiu chirped, "I don’t want to eat your meat, you’re a big meanie, always bullying Xiao Jiu, the meat must be sour."

Long Rui was grinding his teeth in hatred at Xiao Jiu, with Xuexue watching from the side, he didn’t dare to do anything to it, afraid his wife wouldn’t be pleased.

Xiao Jiu was knocked down from the beam by Long Rui, almost falling on its bottom. Despite being upset, considering Long Rui’s martial arts prowess, he could act without a sound, and even if someone was present, they couldn’t catch him.

For the sake of its bird life, Xiao Jiu didn’t dare to truly infuriate him, so both sides took a step back and called it quits.

Night, everywhere was pitch black.

The street was silent, suddenly, two shadows, one large and one small, appeared from afar. Their movements were swift, one second they were just specks, and the next, they were right in front.

Turns out these two shadows were Long Rui and Xuexue, chatting casually while running...

"Prince, isn’t it dangerous for us to enter the palace at this time?"

"Of course, it’s dangerous. The Empress Dowager was murdered, and the Emperor still hasn’t found the culprit, I’m sure inside is already heavily guarded."

"Then forget it, let’s go back instead." Xuexue stopped, preparing to turn back.

Tonight they were going to the Imperial Palace to rescue the palace maids sent to be buried with the Empress Dowager.

Honestly, Xuexue didn’t see herself as having the heart of a Bodhisattva, lacking the spirit to rescue the suffering masses. But Long Rui casually said the palace was like his own Back Garden, coming and going as he pleased, so Xuexue followed him, confident in him. Now knowing the palace is heavily guarded, she regretted it a bit.

Suddenly, Long Rui picked her up and flew towards the Imperial Palace.

"Hey, hey, hey...! What are you doing? Put me down immediately!" Xuexue struggled in his arms.

By this time, they had already approached the palace gates.

Long Rui whispered, "Darling, if you keep yelling, you’ll attract the Imperial Experts."

Xuexue then stopped resisting, and in a daze, Long Rui had already jumped onto the wall of the palace gate.

Long Rui carried her, leaping over eaves, quickly arriving at the palace where the palace maids were held; it was eerily quiet inside, unlike the wailing and weeping during the day.

Xuexue whispered, "Did they relocate? Why is there no sound inside?"

Long Rui: "They shouldn’t have. Once dawn breaks, these palace maids will be buried; they wouldn’t mess around."

Xuexue: "It’s too quiet, it’s a bit scary."

Long Rui: "What’s the Imperial Palace? Is it a place they can run wild? They can make some noise during the day, but at night if they disturb the Emperor and nobles, they might not survive until tomorrow. They don’t dare, nor do they have the guts."
