Chapter 857: Chapter 857: The Flamboyantly Dressed Woman

"Mmm! Go ahead." The War Prince waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes."

Long Yi quickly stepped out of the room, turned around, and gently closed the door.

The two guards standing outside were intercepting a woman and two maids.

"Madam Wang, the Prince is busy with official business inside, you cannot disturb him."

The two guards were in a difficult position; no matter what, Madam Wang was, on the surface, the Prince’s woman, and they, his subordinates, couldn’t lay a hand on her to push her away. Yet Madam Wang was aggressively insisting on barging into the study to see the Prince, and they didn’t know what to do.

As Long Yi stepped out the door, he asked in a low voice, "What’s this ruckus about? Don’t you know better than to disturb the Prince?"

The guards, seeing Long Yi come out, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sense of grievance, "Guard Commander, Madam Wang insists on seeing the Prince, and we couldn’t stop her. This led to the commotion."

Long Yi waved his hand, and the two guards stepped back behind him.

"Madam Wang, the Prince is working right now. It wouldn’t be appropriate to disturb him at this time," Long Yi glanced at the flamboyantly dressed woman.

He also understood that she was an informant for the Emperor. There had been an incident at the Prince’s side last night; today, she was surely here to probe.

"Aiya! Guard Long, I know the Prince works day and night on state affairs, and he must be very exhausted. Today, I specially made some nutritious supplements to replenish the Prince’s health. These guards don’t have any discernment, and they actually wouldn’t let me through. How infuriating is that? They are not considering the Prince’s health at all," Madam Wang’s expression changed instantly to a beaming smile as soon as she saw Long Yi.

This Madam Wang was about twenty years old, wearing a purple orchid-colored dress, with a charming and graceful figure. She had a pair of silver butterfly eardrops dangling by her ears, her lustrous black hair was held up with a silver hairpin into a delicate willow leaf design, and a magnolia blossom pinned atop, adding a fresh, beautiful, and elegant appearance. Her arched eyebrows delicately drawn, and her cherry lips painted bright, the entire person looked enchantingly attractive.

Long Yi glanced over her shoulder at her maid, who indeed was holding a two-tier food container.

"No need, the Prince is in a bad mood right now! Better not disturb him."

"Is it because of what happened last night?" Madam Wang asked with a concerned face, "The Prince wasn’t injured, was he?"

"The Prince is quite alright, Madam Wang, please go back," Long Yi’s expression became colder, thinking that Madam Wang certainly wanted to gather information here and then report to the Emperor to claim credit.

"If that’s the case, I won’t disturb the Prince any further. However, I trouble the Guard Commander to pass a message to the Prince; on the fifteenth of this month, I plan to go to the temple to offer prayers, and I hope the Prince can instruct the doorkeeper to let me pass."

Long Yi’s heart skipped a beat; yes, every fifteen days of the month, Madam Wang would go to the Imperial Palace to report the situation at the Prince’s Mansion.

Seeing Long Yi unresponsive, Madam Wang called out again, "Guard Commander? Guard Commander?"

"Eh!" Long Yi snapped out of it.

"Guard Commander, did you hear what I just said?" Madam Wang pouted her lips, looking aggrieved.

"Going to the temple to offer prayers, right? Sure! I will report this matter to the Prince."

"That’s good then, thank you, Guard Commander," Madam Wang extended her delicate little hand, caressing her temple, flirtatiously speaking.

Long Yi: "Go back, and do not come to disturb the Prince again."

"Yuyu, let’s go," Madam Wang twisted her willowy waist, stepping with the Golden Lotus Step, sauntering away.

The maid behind her looked at Long Yi with a complicated gaze and quickly followed after her.
