Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1962: Drunken Sky Building
Drunken Sky Building, second-floor private room.
Long Rui, who was eating, suddenly received intelligence that the wild wolf in the dungeon had started to fall ill again, and it was even more severe than last time.
Long Yi looked at the War Prince and said, "Master, it must be because you offended The Emperor in the Imperial Palace earlier, and The Emperor is deliberately retaliating."
Long Rui raised his handsome arched eyebrow, and with no expression visible under the mask, he said in a cold voice, "The Emperor old man only knows how to use this trick; other than that, he can’t do anything to me."
Long Yi asked worriedly, "We are outside now, it’s inconvenient to pretend to be ill. If The Emperor’s spies notice anything strange and realize the Prince wasn’t affected by Gu, they will surely be more cautious of us in the future. What should we do then?"
Long Rui: "Go outside and find a sedan chair."
"The Prince wants to return to the Mansion by sedan chair?"
"Of course, as a sick man, I can’t even sit up straight; can I still ride a horse?"
"Oh! I understand."
Upon hearing this, Long Yi grinned widely, understanding the Prince’s intention. The Prince taking a sedan chair back to the Mansion would give off a false impression to The Emperor, making him think the Prince got ill at the Drunken Sky Building and was sent back to the Mansion by sedan chair.
"While you’re at it, find a doctor to come over; remember, it has to be one of our own." Pretending to have been affected by the Gu Insect is top secret, and there can’t be any oversight.
"I understand, the Prince can rest assured!"
"Yes, be quick and return soon!"
"Understood." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Tens of guards brought from the War Prince’s Mansion, at Long Yi’s command, immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and surrounded the second floor in a protective circle, allowing no one to go up, and the guests who were dining on the second floor were also driven downstairs.
Due to the War Prince’s overwhelming power in Moli Country, they dared not make a sound and obediently withdrew from the second floor to the first.
No one knew what was happening, so they craned their necks to peer at the second floor, whispering while eating...
"What’s wrong with the Prince? He is usually very amiable, why is he driving everyone downstairs today?"
"Perhaps he was ill-treated by The Emperor and is in a bad mood."
Everyone started gossiping quietly.
Just then, Long Yi entered with a doctor in a hurry.
An old man stopped Long Yi and asked, "Guard Long, what’s wrong with the Prince today? Why such a big anomaly? Did he get ill-treated by The Emperor?"
Long Yi shook his head, looking very tense: "The Prince is ill."
The old man asked in confusion: "When the Prince came in earlier, he was perfectly fine, how did he suddenly fall ill?"
Long Yi bowed to the onlooking citizens, speaking sincerely: "Precisely! I can’t figure it out either; just now the Prince ate three bowls of rice and then suddenly fell ill, scaring me half to death. So, I hurried to bring the doctor here. Fellow villagers, for the sake of the Prince’s life, please make way for the doctor to go in and have a look, alright?"
As soon as Long Yi finished speaking, everyone stepped aside to let the doctor and Long Yi through.
The Prince is their guardian needed for peaceful days; nothing can go wrong.
Shortly afterwards, the War Prince was carried out of the Drunken Sky Building by Long Yi, unconscious and then placed into a luxurious sedan chair parked at the entrance, and hurriedly driven back to the War Prince’s Mansion by Long Yi.
Tens of guards ran behind, leaving the citizens confused, not knowing what was happening.
Later, the news of the War Prince’s sudden illness at the Drunken Sky Building spread throughout the Capital, and everyone understood what had happened.
