Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Tagging Along

Upon hearing this, The Emperor was overjoyed beyond words: "That is indeed splendid, Eunuch Li, since there’s nothing pressing here, why don’t you set off right away and invite that expert into the palace? I have some questions for him."

Eunuch Li knew in his heart that The Emperor’s urgency was because he wanted to topple the War Prince as soon as possible and reclaim his throne as the ruler of Moli Country.

Indeed, he was once the sovereign of an entire nation, of incomparably noble status. When has he ever had to bow his head? But now, with the War Prince brazenly oppressing him, he doesn’t dare to utter a word in protest. This frustration is something ordinary people wouldn’t understand.

"Your servant obeys the decree."

"Eunuch Li, this is the token for leaving the palace. Go and attend to your duties quickly. If this matter proves reliable, you shall be handsomely rewarded." The Emperor, intent on bringing down Long Rui, and knowing that someone was proficient in the art of Gu Insects, couldn’t wait any longer and took out a gold-trimmed token from the desk, handing it over to Eunuch Li.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, your servant will handle this matter properly."

"Good, go at once."

"Yes."

Eunuch Li was thrilled at the thought of relieving The Emperor’s worries. With a shrill acknowledgment, he bowed and withdrew.

General’s Mansion, Qingyuo Pavilion.

Xuexue, having heard about the goings-on at the War Prince’s Mansion, merely laughed it off. Everyone said the War Prince was lecherous and debaucherous, but who knew, it was all just a Blinding Technique.

The War Prince, second only to The Emperor and above tens of thousands, one would know with a moment’s thought whom he was performing this act for.

It seemed that the War Prince and The Emperor weren’t as harmonious as the rumors outside suggested.

The scene from that night was vivid in her memory; the War Prince didn’t lay a finger on any of the women. What kind of drug they had been given, she couldn’t fathom, but it made them lose their minds to the point of amusing themselves, and afterward, they actually believed they had intimate relations with the Prince.

What a brilliant move! Xuexue couldn’t help but admire; the War Prince was indeed a highly intelligent man.

"Stinky woman, what are you thinking about?" The huge tiger lying at Xuexue’s feet suddenly asked with its gaping maw.

Luckily, ever since Mo Xiaoqiang’s family moved out, only it and Xuexue were left in the house, and Zugenia had also stepped out on an errand at that moment. Otherwise, a tiger suddenly speaking could really be jarring—a scene that could scared someone to insanity.

Xuexue glanced at it, saying nothing.

The tiger felt it couldn’t stand it anymore. Since that night, after they returned from the War Prince’s Mansion, Xuexue hadn’t paid it any mind.

Of course, it knew quite well the reason for this—after all, it came down to a term of address for Xuexue.

And yet, Xuexue seemed to be obstinately ignoring it, having not acknowledged it for days. The tiger Qi Miao felt extremely dejected in its heart.

"Alright, alright, considering you’re a woman, I’ll concede this once." The tiger lowered its proud head, "Sister, sister, alright? Please speak, don’t ignore me."

Xuexue let out a chuckle, caressed the fur on its head, and laughed, "Good little tiger brother."

The tiger Qi Miao almost fainted. As it turned out, the woman hadn’t been angry at all; she had simply dug a pit for it to jump into.

"You... you... you stinky woman, daring to trick your little master!"

"Watch your manners, call me sister."

"Humph!" The tiger turned its face away, clearly upset.

Since she had been called sister, Xuexue didn’t hold it against the tiger any further. In high spirits, she sang a little tune and proceeded to walk outside.

Ever since Mo Xiaoqiang’s family moved out, there wasn’t a trace of life left in the house. Seeing Xuexue leave, the tiger hurriedly stood up and followed her out.

After all, wherever Xuexue went, it would follow, turning practically into a shadow.
