Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147: Night Visit to the General’s Mansion

The Emperor is now pressing hard on the War Prince’s Mansion.

The War Prince’s Mansion is not as glorious as it seems to the outside world. This, Long Yi is acutely aware of. Due to the Emperor’s distrust, the Prince has found it difficult to gain a foothold in the court. The bitterness in his heart is something none of his subordinates can ease.

Fortunately, the Prince has met Miss Situ. The mutual love between them serves as a consolation.

Long Yi: "Prince, Madam Wang is trouble. She’s always wandering about the mansion unpredictably. Who knows when our secrets might be exposed? To avoid prolonged complications, perhaps we should just...."

Saying this, Long Yi gestured silently across his neck with his hand.

Long Rui shook his head. "No, there’s still use for her."

"Prince...!"

"No need to say more. It’s decided."

The Prince’s refusal to remove Madam Wang left Long Yi helpless. He thought to himself that this woman would ruin their grand plans sooner or later.

Long Rui glanced at Long Yi and added, "Madam Wang is just a minor pawn, not worth worrying about. You don’t need to be so conflicted. Just assign someone to monitor her every move."

"But...!"

"Don’t worry. That woman has a big appetite. She might not even listen to the Emperor."

"Prince, do you mean...?"

"We can try a counterintelligence tactic."

"Turn her against them?"

"Hmm!"

"Will it work?" Long Yi was highly skeptical. The master behind Madam Wang was none other than the Emperor himself. Would she really betray him?

"How would you know if you don’t try? Anything is possible, isn’t it?" The corners of Long Rui’s mouth curled up in a smile, deep with meaning.

From the moment Madam Wang received the marriage decree, it was crystal clear from the gleeful, almost frenzied expression on her face—this woman had great ambition. She would never be content to live in someone else’s shadow for the rest of her life.

Moreover, laid before her, the position of Princess Consort of the War Prince was the best opportunity.

If the War Prince’s Mansion fell, it would bring her no benefit—her title as the War Prince’s Princess Consort would also come to an end.

Therefore, in order to protect the War Prince’s Mansion, there was a chance Madam Wang might not report certain sensitive matters to the Emperor.

"Prince, this is a very risky move." To Long Yi, this woman was insidious and untrustworthy, evoking zero goodwill from him.

Long Rui gave him a sidelong glance. "You’re a grown man; don’t be so petty. Don’t hold a grudge just because she falsely accused you last time of sleeping with a maid. Honestly, for men, what’s the big deal about having a few more women?"

Long Yi looked at Long Rui with a face full of resentment. "Prince, it’s easy for you to say. The mansion is full of beauties, yet the Prince doesn’t enjoy them properly. Why drug them and pretend to have relations with them?"

The mansion was overrun with beauties, which the Prince found intensely repugnant. To avoid arousing the Emperor’s suspicion, he drugged them and crafted an image of himself as a debauched Prince indulging in nightly revelries with these women.

Long Rui glared at him. "Tsk! I’m talking about you—why are you shifting the conversation onto me?"

"Prince, do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

"...!"

Long Rui was momentarily at a loss for words. He raised his finger, pointing at Long Yi, and said helplessly, "You... you...!"

The bright moon hung high in the sky.

On a frigid winter night, the howling wind slashed like knives against one’s face.

On the deserted streets, a silhouette darted like Birdy through the darkness, vanishing into the vast expanse of night in the blink of an eye.

General’s Mansion.

Xuexue lay on the bed, still clothed, preparing to read a little before sleeping.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past.

A moment later, there was an additional figure in the room.
