Chapter 918: The 918th day of defeating the War Prince is just around the corner

Evidently, Long Yi also recognized the Gu insect eggs in the bucket.

After being hunted several times by assassins sent by The Emperor, Long Rui became more reserved and said indifferently, "When the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the hounds are useless, they are cooked. Emperors throughout the ages have always acted this way, it’s nothing unusual."

"Prince, always avoiding The Emperor is not a solution; sooner or later, he will become more and more demanding, what shall we do then?"

Feeling like fish on the chopping board is damn unbearable.

"He is the sovereign, and we are his subjects; avoiding him is not disgraceful."

"But...!"

"Just endure it for a while."

"When will these days come to an end?" murmured Long Yi under his breath.

"Long Yi, considering the many years you have been by my side, if you grow weary of this life, you can choose to leave."

"Prince, I did not mean that," hastily explained Long Yi.

"Rest assured, I will not treat you poorly; I will give you a large sum of money to ensure you want for nothing in your later years," Long Rui continued.

Long Yi fell to his knees before Long Rui, fervently responding, "Prince, I am an orphan who grew up on the streets, surviving by begging. I owe my new life to your willingness to take me in despite my circumstances. Even in death, I am willing to stay by your side."

Long Rui watched him for a while, then patted his shoulder, saying this for Long Yi’s own good, wanting to give him a way out.

The Emperor sees him as a thorn in his side, eager to get rid of him; staying by his side is fraught with danger.

However, since Long Yi was so resolute in staying, he ceased to persuade otherwise.

"Rise! I believe in you,"

Long Yi stood up from the ground.

"Prince, what should we do next?"

Long Rui’s lips slightly parted: "If the enemy does not move, I will not move."

"Yes!" Long Yi nodded, agreeing that there was no other option for the time being.

"Prince, how should we deal with Miss Yuyu?"

"She’s your woman, deal with her yourself."

At these words, Long Yi immediately broke down, his face contorted in frustration, "Prince, I am still a virgin! Moreover, everything I did tonight was for you, Prince, can’t you be a bit more reasonable?"

"Who told you to be so foolish! A beauty delivered right to your doorstep, and you don’t know how to enjoy it. Who’s to blame, if not yourself?"

The Prince started to act shamelessly again, making Long Yi feel quite helpless: "Hasn’t The Emperor also sent many beauties to you? Why don’t you enjoy them, and why must you act every night, isn’t it exhausting?"

"Hey! You cheeky brat, daring to tease me? Don’t want to live?" Long Rui furiously hurled the booklet in his hand at Long Yi.

"Smack!"

The booklet fell to the ground.

Realizing he had angered the master, Long Yi quickly excused himself and fled from the study room, saying, "Prince, I will go patrol outside."

"You little rascal, lucky that you run fast." Long Rui grudgingly put the booklet back on the table.

The next day, the whole Capital was abuzz; War Prince had fallen ill and was bedridden.

Seizing this great opportunity, The Emperor immediately showed his benevolence, summoning several Imperial Physicians to War Prince’s Mansion to examine him.

The people all said that The Emperor treated War Prince very well; to have Imperial Physicians sent to War Prince’s Mansion at the slightest sign of illness truly reflected the benevolence of a great ruler.

The Emperor, having heard these rumors, was very pleased, particularly satisfied with Zhao Yin, the Onmyoji, thinking, with the help of this expert, eliminating War Prince seemed imminent.
