Chapter 1095: Chapter 1095: The Emperor Has Planted Many Spies in the War Prince’s Mansion

Long Rui frowned: "What exactly are you trying to ask?"

Xuexue took a deep breath and finally asked: "Do you have some kind of rift with the Emperor?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"The last time I visited the War Prince’s Mansion, I saw you putting on a show with that group of women and even drinking hallucinogens. You’re Moli Country’s War Prince, holding great power and authority, and it’s your own mansion—aside from the Emperor, who else could compel you to go to such lengths to act?"

The world spreads rumors about the War Prince’s debauchery, claiming he spends nights with hundreds of women and saying that he looks as ugly as a ghost. But it turns out everything is just a facade—Long Rui has deceived everyone.

Not only does he look like Pan An, but he is also an unparalleled gentleman who remains pure at heart.

Upon discovering the truth, Xuexue’s heart ached for Long Rui. That was why she sneaked into the War Prince’s Mansion at night—to see if he was doing well.

Moreover, having lived with Long Rui in Mo Family Village for several months, she knew he wasn’t that kind of man.

Long Rui nodded and began to reveal his thoughts: "That’s precisely why, when you first returned to the Capital, I didn’t acknowledge you—to avoid dragging you into all of this."

"Then why are you no longer afraid now?"

"The longing is too bitter—I can’t hold it back."

Before Xuexue knew he was Big Bull, she would avoid him each time she saw him.

Every time that happened, he felt indescribable pain in his heart.

Two people deeply in love, so close yet unable to recognize each other—the feeling was beyond painful.

Xuexue sighed and sat up from the bed: "What path are you planning to take in the future?"

"Originally, I wanted to retire from the battlefield and live a secluded life. But there are too many old comrades—if I leave recklessly, they’ll surely be massacred by the Emperor. The Emperor has always been deeply wary of me and would never allow my allies to live. These comrades, my brothers who fought side by side with me through life and death—how could I abandon them?"

For Long Rui, Xuexue hadn’t heard much in her previous life, nor did she know what fate awaited him afterward.

"The entire Moli Country is the domain of the Zhang Royal Family. Where can you escape to? Do you intend to live a life of hiding and being chased forever?"

Having experienced her previous life, Xuexue deeply understood that only the strong could survive in this world. If one didn’t want to die, they had to ascend to the highest position to secure long life.

At this moment, Xuexue finally understood why, back in Mo Family Village, Long Rui had lost his memory. It seemed this matter could not be separated from the Emperor.

"I don’t desire it—I mainly don’t want to make you suffer."

"What does your situation have to do with me?"

"We’re husband and wife. From now on, we’ll be together. How could that have nothing to do with you?"

"Who’s your wife?" Speaking of this matter, Xuexue’s face burned red in the darkness. Thankfully, the night acted as a curtain to hide her embarrassment; otherwise, she’d want to dig a hole to crawl into.

"I’ve been calling you ’wife’ for so long, and you’ve never objected. If you’re not my wife, then what are you?" As if he could see Xuexue’s crimson cheeks, Long Rui suddenly felt much happier.

"That was just a temporary expedient back then. Things are different now—you’ve returned to the Capital, resumed your status as the War Prince, and also have a Princess Consort. If others hear about this, they’ll gossip."

The matter of the War Prince’s arranged marriage shocked the entirety of Moli Country.

Long Rui suddenly became serious: "Xuexue, listen to me. The matter with Madam Wang is merely the Emperor’s unilateral will. I agreed to it solely to placate the Emperor; I absolutely will not marry her."

Xuexue nodded: "I understand your predicament."

That night, when Xuexue sneaked into the War Prince’s Mansion, she clearly saw that if it hadn’t been out of utter helplessness, Long Rui wouldn’t have been putting on a show with those women. For a dignified War God of the nation, it truly wasn’t easy for him.

The act Long Rui performed was undoubtedly meant for the Emperor to see.

Even within his own mansion, Long Rui had to tread cautiously—imagine how many spies the Emperor had planted in the War Prince’s Mansion!
