Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: The War Prince Is Too Pitiful

"Humph!"

Madam Wang sneered darkly, considering her current status, dealing with a Lady Li was nothing to her.

Seeing Lady Li crawling at her feet like a dog, desperately licking her shoes, she felt a wave of disgust.

She used to regard this woman highly, but in the end, she was just someone who worshiped the high and trampled the low, utterly unworthy.

Bedroom.

Long Rui sat on the bed reading, hearing noise outside, he immediately put down his book, feigning sickness, lying on the bed and occasionally letting out a few painful groans.

Long Yi stepped inside, amused by his Master’s antics.

"Master, stop acting, it’s me."

Upon hearing this, Long Rui opened his eyes and glanced over, seeing that it was just Long Yi coming in, while guards remained at the door.

He quickly sat up on the bed, got off, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat: "What’s that old Emperor up to now?"

"Master, you guessed right, the Emperor simply cannot stand your happiness, doesn’t want you to marry the eldest lady, deliberately causing trouble."

Long Rui frowned: "What happened?"

An Imperial Edict had arrived early this morning, he knew the Emperor was definitely up to no good, but he didn’t know how he planned to disrupt his marriage to Situtu Xueer.

"The edict demands Master marry Madam Wang, and to choose another good day next month to marry the eldest lady, I see it as a tactic for power balancing."

Long Rui nodded; the pros and cons were clear, the military power that the Emperor prized most was all in his hands. Naturally, the Emperor wouldn’t be satisfied, would certainly try to prevent an alliance between the War Prince’s Mansion and General’s Mansion, even if Situ Yongjie’s military power was minimal, the Emperor’s interference would give him peace of mind.

"Master, are you really willing to marry Madam Wang?"

Long Rui glanced at him lazily and said, "Just a woman, what does it matter if I marry her?"

The manner was casual, as was his usual front towards others.

The Master seemed to be walking into trouble; didn’t he realize what women cared about the most?

"What if the eldest lady is upset?" Long Yi felt it necessary to remind the Master, lest the eldest lady ignore the Prince, and in the end, they’d be the ones suffering as servants.

Because when the Prince is unhappy, he tortures these subordinates relentlessly.

As if treating them as enemies.

Long Rui was momentarily stunned: "Would Xuexue be unhappy?"

"Of course, which woman could bear to see the one they love marry another?"

"This Prince is merely playing around, won’t actually touch her."

True, the War Prince’s Mansion was full of beauties; if Long Rui wanted to touch Madam Wang, he would’ve done so long ago, no need to wait until now!

"But the eldest lady also needs to know, if she doesn’t, she’ll misunderstand the Prince."

Long Rui thought while sipping tea: "Hmm, I should consider this."

The past few days, the War Prince’s Mansion was busy preparing for the wedding, brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Red silk was draped over the gate threshold.

The entire Prince’s Mansion looked festive.

Passersby pointed and commented on the Prince’s Mansion...

"Alas! The War Prince is so pitiful."

"Exactly! His health is already frail, and now he has to marry a prostitute, it’s just... alas!"

"Indeed, it was clearly decided that he would marry the General’s Mansion’s eldest lady, how come it changed in the blink of an eye?"

The speaker looked around mysteriously: "They say the Emperor is the one behind it all; he couldn’t stand the War Prince’s happiness, so he deliberately found a prostitute to humiliate him."

"Really? But the Emperor has always been quite good to the War Prince."
