Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140 Dining

Facing Madam Wang’s myriad charms.

The War Prince was completely impervious to her allure and said coldly, "If you want to eat, then eat. If not, get out."

Madam Wang’s expression froze for a moment. However, having rolled in the brothel’s circles before, she quickly regained her composure with a smile on her face, letting out a shrill laugh, "It’s rare to dine with the Prince. Of course, this humble woman shall eat."

As she spoke, she extended her delicate fingers, picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table, took a piece of food, and placed it into the War Prince’s bowl, saying sweetly, "Your Highness, please enjoy the dish."

Unexpectedly, the War Prince tossed the chopsticks onto the table and said icily, "I’ve had enough."

Madam Wang looked somewhat astonished, "Your Highness, you haven’t eaten yet?"

"I feel full just looking at you. You eat by yourself." With that said, he strode out with his long legs.

Leaving Madam Wang with a dumbfounded expression, she instinctively touched her exquisitely made-up face, muttering to herself, "Am I really that ugly? How could the Prince say he’s full just seeing me?"

The maids serving on the side all covered their mouths with their hands, secretly laughing.

Madam Wang, somewhat embarrassed and angry, shouted at them, "You little servants, what are you laughing at? Believe it or not, I’ll cut your tongues out."

The maids immediately dared not make a sound. After all, Madam Wang was the future Princess Consort of the War Prince. Even though the War Prince did not care much for her, the marriage was decreed personally by The Emperor.

They were just servants, not daring to oppose her, so they all obediently hung their heads and kept silent.

"A bunch of lowly wretches, daring to oppose this madam, hmph!"

The Prince had left, and Madam Wang felt there was no point in staying either, so she arrogantly stood up and left with the maids in tow.

Study room.

Just after leaving for a while, Long Yi came rushing back. Without even knocking, he barged into the study room.

He rushed in front of the War Prince, panting heavily, "Your Highness!"

The War Prince held a book in his hand, looked up calmly, and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"There’s movement on that end again; you should go to the dungeon quickly."

"Oh?"

The War Prince put the book back on the table, stood up from his seat, and said with composure, "Let’s go."

In his heart, Long Yi couldn’t help but admire the Prince’s stoicism. Being framed by The Emperor and still remaining so calm, one couldn’t find another person like their Prince in the world.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, his footsteps obediently followed behind the War Prince.

Dungeon.

Upon entering the exceedingly damp dungeon.

A pained howl of a wolf was heard.

The War Prince, accompanied by Long Yi, stepped inside.

In the vast and empty dungeon, only the crisp sound of footsteps, tap-tap, could be heard.

Filling the dungeon.

They stopped in front of an iron door.

Inside the room, a wolfhound was curled painfully on the ground, its body twitching violently, its mouth emitting agonizing howls that echoed through the dungeon.

It sounded exceedingly haunting.

It was evident how much pain it was in.

Judging by the wolfhound’s reaction, the severity of this Gu poison was indeed extraordinary.

Long Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit scared. If this Gu poison hadn’t been discovered and was consumed by the Prince, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Emperor’s mind was truly venomous.

The War Prince had won magnificent victories for Moli Country. Even if there were no merits, there were hardships endured. Being treated like this just because the kingdom was at peace now was entirely excessive.

Long Yi couldn’t help but feel it was undeserved for the Prince. Such a foolish ruler wasn’t worth risking life and limb for.
