Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158 Causing Trouble

"Me?"

"Yes."

"Didn’t you say it would disturb the Prince’s rest?" Xuexue looked in confusion at the Old Madam ahead, noticing her expression was quite displeased.

Indeed, the Old Madam held authority in the General’s Mansion, but just now Long Yi refused her entry to visit the War Prince, and now he was letting Xuexue in. Wasn’t that embarrassing her in public?

"Others might, but the young lady certainly won’t."

Long Yi’s blatant words aroused the Old Madam’s suspicion; her eyes were fixed on Xuexue as she asked with even more doubt, "Xuexue, be honest with your grandmother, do you have any private relationship with the Prince?"

Of course, she did.

They were together just last night!

However, these words must not be known to the Old Madam.

Xuexue blinked innocently, speaking quite innocently, "Grandmother, what are you saying? How could Xuexue have any relationship with the Prince!"

"But then why are you allowed in while I’m not?"

"I don’t know, you should ask Guard Long." Xuexue said with an innocent expression.

In fact, she knew very well that the reason Long Yi let her in was because he knew about the relationship between Long Rui and her.

When Long Rui was stranded in the Mo Family Village, Long Yi went there to retrieve him, so he naturally knew about their relationship.

Long Yi spoke expressionlessly, "Old Madam, these are the Prince’s orders. If you want to know why, you’d better ask the Prince yourself."

The Old Madam’s glare at Xuexue immediately changed, her face breaking into a smile, "I was just asking Xuexue, no other meaning."

After saying this, she turned her head to Xuexue, her tone becoming stern, "Hurry in and see the Prince, don’t keep him waiting."

"Yes, thank you for waiting, Grandmother."

"Hmm!" Long Yi watched menacingly from the side, and the Old Madam had to agree with a smile.

Inside the chamber.

The Prince lay on the bed, wearing a mask, looking listless as if he was about to die at any moment, occasionally gasping heavily.

General Situ stood nervously at the side, afraid that the Prince might not be able to take another breath and would meet Lord Yama then and there. If that happened, and he was the only one left in the room, he feared he might be accused of murdering the Prince. He wouldn’t be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Nonetheless, since he was already there, he had to muster his courage and report business to him: "Prince, there’s no need to worry about the Hidden Guard matters, everything is proceeding smoothly and has been arranged by subordinates."

The War Prince, after a while of heavy breathing, finally responded, "Hmm."

"Creak!"

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Xuexue stepped in.

Situ Yongjie turned his head and spoke in a reproachful tone, "Xuexue, why are you coming in? Your father is reporting official matters to the Prince, hurry out now, don’t come in and make trouble."

"Fine then."

Hearing this, Xuexue turned her head to leave; after all, Long Rui was pretending to be ill, and she couldn’t be bothered to look at him!

Who would have thought, after taking just two steps...

A violent cough came from behind.

"Cough cough cough...!"

The sound seemed as if he wouldn’t make it, and he was about to gasp his last breath.

Situ Yongjie panicked, quickly stepping forward to pat his back for him.

To his surprise, the War Prince, who seemed about to succumb to his illness, pushed him away with one hand.

The strength was unexpectedly quite substantial.

Situ Yongjie paused for a moment; such strength didn’t seem like that of a sick person.

Immediately following that, he heard the War Prince’s broken words, "Wait... wait... wait a minute."

Situ Yongjie: "Prince, who are you calling?"
