Chapter 933: Chapter 933 Parasitic on a Wild Wolf

Glazed Glass Courtyard.

Long Rui leisurely sat at the desk, deeply engrossed in the documents.

Long Yi, having just returned from seeing off the Doctor, saw this scene and immediately said, "Prince, you’re still a patient! Why are you not resting in bed but up and about? Hurry and lie back down, lest others see—wouldn’t all our efforts go to waste?"

War Prince, without even lifting his head, imperiously said, "This is my sleeping quarters; who dares to enter? I’ll chop off the head of any cur that does."

Finally, he muttered to himself, "I refuse to believe that, on my own territory, I can’t be the one in charge."

Long Yi fell silent for a while; alright, the Prince is fierce and fears no one.

"Prince, can’t you rest for a while?" Long Yi looked with heartache at the Prince buried in a pile of documents. The Prince had merely shifted his study back to his bedroom.

"Is the Doctor gone?" Long Rui asked without lifting his head.

"Already left."

"Did you send someone to protect him?"

"Rest assured, Prince, several Hidden Guards are secretly following him!"

"Um!" War Prince nodded without speaking further, continuing to concentrate on the documents.

Speaking of which, in the afternoon, Long Yi, as usual, went to the Secret Room to observe the insect eggs that the Prince had vomited out last time; they were now being cultivated inside a wild wolf.

When Long Yi reached the Secret Room, he saw it writhing in agony on the ground, its skin crawling ceaselessly as if countless things were sprinting inside its body, its low growling nonstop, its wolf eyes bloodshot, as if about to bleed.

Upon seeing this, Long Yi knew that something was terribly wrong—it must be The Emperor’s Onmyoji who had started stirring the Mother Gu—so he hurriedly went to report to the Prince.

Indeed, inside the Prince’s Mansion, The Emperor’s eyes and ears were many. If the Onmyoji had already activated the Mother Gu, and yet the Prince remained unscathed, The Emperor would surely start to suspect that the insect eggs had never entered the Prince’s body, and who knows what other nasty strategies he would think up to plot against the Prince.

Therefore, Long Yi hurriedly went to inform War Prince, and the two of them, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Prince’s Mansion, staged an extravagant ruse, all to deceive The Emperor.

Of course, the Doctor who was called was one of their own. They had arranged long in advance that if the wild wolf in the Secret Room showed any abnormalities, this Doctor would come to treat the Prince, and no one else was allowed anywhere near, so as to keep the matter from being exposed.

Thus, it was impossible for Madam Wang, who tried every possible way to get close to the Prince to probe for information because, secretly, there were many Hidden Guards protecting the Prince, and nobody could get close without the Prince’s consent.

The next day, at sunrise, Celestial Master Zhang paid a visit to General’s Mansion under the guise of a visit.

Coincidentally, just as the carriage arrived at the front gate, it encountered Situ Yongjie returning from the early court session to the mansion, bumping right into Celestial Master Zhang.

Upon seeing that it was Celestial Master Qian, a favorite of The Emperor, Situ Yongjie invited him into the mansion.

Great Hall.

After everyone was seated with guests and host in their respective places, maids served hot tea and snacks.

The two of them chatted while drinking tea.

Situ Yongjie saw that Celestial Master Zhang had brought quite a few gifts and politely said with a smile, "Celestial Master Zhang graces my humble abode, which already brings endless honor, why be so courteous as to bring so many gifts?"

Standing behind Celestial Master Zhang were about a dozen servants, each holding brightly wrapped gifts that were clearly meant for the General’s Mansion.

Celestial Master Zhang quickly waved his hand, expressing politeness, "General, please don’t be too courteous. We are both officials in the same government, sharing The Emperor’s worries; it is only right that we should visit each other more often."

Situ Yongjie nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Celestial Master Zhang speaks truly."

Celestial Master Zhang raised his hand and with a sweep backward, the servants one after another presented the gifts.
