War Prince’s Mansion, Bedroom.

Xuexue and Long Rui sat facing each other. Xuexue poured a cup of tea, handed it to Long Rui, and said, "Prince, the Emperor has closed the city gates for several days in a row, conducting searches daily, making the people anxious. This can’t go on. What do you think...?"

Long Rui frowned slightly and said, "He’s the Emperor, the supreme ruler. He can do what he wants. As a Minister, it’s not appropriate for me to interfere."

Then he added, "Besides, I’m currently a patient and can’t go out to meet people, right?"

Xuexue glanced at him and laughed, "Is there a patient who eats three bowls of rice each meal like you?"

Long Rui also laughed, "Having my wife accompany me every day makes me happy, so naturally, my appetite is good."

"People usually lose weight when they’re sick, but you? You’ve gained a few pounds instead?" At this, Xuexue leaned forward with a playful smile, looking at Long Rui. "Prince, do you really think your childhood friend will believe you’re sick?"

Long Rui chuckled dismissively, "With a brain like hers, would she not believe it? Besides, I’m wearing a mask. She can’t tell at all."

Wearing a human skin mask, Long Rui looked incredibly hideous. Every time Gu Lingqiao saw him, she seemed to want to vomit and likely wouldn’t notice any changes in Long Rui’s body.

Xuexue: "Prince, you’ve been sick for so many days, shouldn’t you be better by now?"

Long Rui nodded. It was indeed time to go out. There was a report from an informant that Wei Country had sent a challenge letter to Moli Country.

"Hmm, it’s time to get better! Otherwise, before Lin Kong is caught, Moli Country would be attacked first."

"What happened?"

Xuexue was startled. What did Long Rui mean by that?

Long Rui explained to Xuexue about Wei Country’s imminent attack on Moli Country.

Xuexue finally understood. No wonder Lin Kong had infiltrated Moli Country; turns out he was here to scout the way while...

The next day, the entire War Prince’s Mansion knew that the Prince’s illness had been cured by the Princess Consort, but his body was still very weak and needed a few days of bed rest.

The War Prince’s Mansion was filled with joy, with maids and servant boys running around happily, saying, "The Prince’s illness is cured, that’s wonderful. As long as the Prince is safe and sound, we no longer fear anyone daring to bully the War Prince’s Mansion."

The steward was also very happy and immediately instructed the kitchen to stew some tonic for the Prince. The entire mansion was joyful, except for one person.

Side Room.

"Clang!"

Even before approaching the doorway, one could hear the sounds of things being thrown around inside.

Faintly, there was also the voice of an old maid advising...

"Miss, keep your voice down. You don’t want the Prince to hear."

"What if he hears? I’m in a bad mood and can’t I vent?" Gu Lingqiao’s exquisite face was twisted with anger, looking terrifying.

Ever since learning that Long Rui was cured of the poison, she almost went mad with anger. If Long Rui had been poisoned to death, it would have been beneficial for both Lin Kong and her. After all, Lin Kong had promised her that once she killed the War Prince, he would take her back to Wei Country to marry.

Seeing her belly growing bigger by the day and that she wouldn’t be able to hide it in a few months, Gu Lingqiao was frantic.

The old maid gave her a disapproving look and said, "Throwing tantrums here won’t help. You’d better calm down and think about what we should do next."

With Wei Country having already sent a challenge letter, letting the War Prince live was a threat to them.

Gu Lingqiao: "What can we do? We can’t just go over and strangle him, can we?"

"Miss, please use your brain to think, not your backside, which is useless at critical moments." The old maid frowned and said discontentedly.
