Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Gu Lingqiao’s face changed, she reached for the teacup on the table and threw it at Xiao Jiu: "Stupid bird, dumb bird, dare to call me ugly, I’ll beat you to death."

"Thunk!"

The teacup brushed against Xiao Jiu’s small figure, hit the wall, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Ah! Help, help, the ugly monster is committing murder! Master, save me, save me!" Xiao Jiu screamed, flapping its wings and flying out in a frenzy.

Gu Lingqiao was furious, turned to Long Rui, stomped her feet in frustration, pouting and acting cute: "Brother Rui, look, why is that bird so annoying? It insulted Lingling."

Long Rui’s voice was calm as he said coldly: "It’s just a bird, why bother with it?"

Gu Lingqiao pouted with a displeased expression: "But it insulted me."

Long Rui: "If a dog bites you, would you bite the dog back to vent your anger?"

Gu Lingqiao was left speechless.

The Old Maid observed the situation from the side and stealthily tugged at Gu Lingqiao from behind.

Taking advantage of Long Rui’s lack of attention, Gu Lingqiao sneaked a glance at her, and the Old Maid pouted towards the snacks on the table, the message clear: get Long Rui to eat.

"Alright, since Brother Rui said so, Lingling won’t bicker with that stupid bird." Gu Lingqiao changed her tone, smiling to please.

They thought they were being discreet, but Long Yi saw everything clearly, furrowing his brows as he wondered, what kind of schemes are these two plotting again? Hopefully, the Master won’t fall for it.

Long Rui’s expression softened, and he turned to Long Yi saying: "Go follow the Princess Consort, protect her well, don’t let her encounter any accidents."

Long Yi glanced at the duo, feeling that they seemed unusual today, remembering the Prince’s previous losses at their hands, he said: "But I also need to protect the Prince’s safety..."

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously shifted to Gu Lingqiao, then casually shifted away.

Nevertheless, Gu Lingqiao felt a chill in her heart, could their actions have been discovered by the War Prince’s Mansion? Instantly, she felt uneasy, sneaking another look at the Old Maid.

The Old Maid silently shook her head, signaling her to stay calm and not lose composure.

At that moment, Long Rui’s icy voice rang out: "What danger could there be for me in the mansion? The outside is unstable, spies from Wei Country have infiltrated the Capital, you better hurry and protect the Princess Consort!"

Long Yi was still a bit worried, saying: "The Prince was ambushed in the mansion last time, I’m uneasy, I want to protect the Prince closely."

"Nonsense, the Princess Consort is also important, go protect her now."

"But... but...!"

"Rest assured, nothing will happen to me in the mansion. The spy from Wei Country slipped through last time because the defense was too thin. We’ve doubled the mansion’s guard since then, not even a spy with wings could fly in now."

Upon hearing Long Rui’s words, Gu Lingqiao and the Old Maid quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glad the Prince didn’t suspect them.

Long Yi was still standing there hesitantly: "But... but...!"

Long Rui grew impatient, saying coldly: "If you don’t hurry to protect the Princess Consort, I’ll send you to the Frontier."

As soon as these words fell, everyone felt a flash, like the wind had passed them by. Upon regaining their senses, Long Yi was already gone, his figure as swift as lightning.

Long Rui smiled silently; he had no shortage of ways to handle Long Yi.
