Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

"You’re silly!" Xuexue reached out to stroke his ugly face, her eyes full of concern.

Although Long Rui was wearing a Human Skin Mask, his beard had genuinely grown, which could not be faked.

The Imperial Guards stationed at the palace gates were stunned; it seemed the rumors were true that the Prince and Princess Consort of War Prince were deeply in love.

If it’s not true love, which woman would dare touch the Prince’s ghostly face?

Long Rui hugged Xuexue’s shoulder and gently said, "Wife, let’s go back."

Xuexue: "Alright, the Prince has been tired for so many days; he should have a proper rest."

Just as they were about to turn and leave, a group of people came from the distance within the Imperial Palace, led by a person in bright yellow.

"Oh no, oh no, the bothersome one is coming, the bothersome one is coming." Suddenly, Xiao Jiu flew over chirping loudly.

Long Rui and Xuexue stopped their steps and turned around to see that it was The Emperor leading palace maids and eunuchs, chasing over.

"Prince, The Emperor is chasing us, what should we do?" Xuexue leaned close to Long Rui’s ear and whispered.

She had forged the Emperor’s decree to leave the palace, unsure if The Emperor would blame her.

"Wife, don’t worry, everything is on me," Long Rui whispered back, comforting her.

"The bothersome one is truly bothersome, no matter where you go, you can see him," Xiao Jiu, perched on Xuexue’s shoulder, said discontentedly.

Xuexue: "Weren’t you quite fond of him? The Emperor in front and The Emperor behind, amusing him so much."

Xiao Jiu tilted its head and chirped, "That’s called deceiving the enemy; what do you mean ’fond of him’? A self-righteous old man, bothersome, bothersome, very bothersome."

Birds are so pragmatic, Xuexue expressed helplessness.

"Master, don’t underestimate Xiao Jiu; Xiao Jiu helped deceive the enemy for your own good!"

"Alright, alright, thank you, okay?"

"That’s more like it!"

Is this a bird? It’s a clever spirit; even the Imperial Guards were stunned. This bird dared to fool The Emperor and played him round and round.

However, The Emperor held this bird in high regard, so they dared not expose it!

At this moment, The Emperor and his entourage slowly arrived at the palace gate.

"Long live The Emperor, long live, long live!"

Everyone at the palace gate knelt to pay respect.

Only the War Prince stood tall there, holding Xuexue tightly by the waist, unable to move.

Xuexue showed a slightly awkward smile: "Hehehe... Greetings to The Emperor!"

The Emperor stared at her with hawk-like eyes, staying silent, knowing that now wasn’t the time to fall out with The Emperor.

"Prince, why not enter the palace since you’ve come?"

The Emperor noticed Long Rui actually wasn’t wearing a mask, visibly shocked for a moment.

"Your subject greets The Emperor," Long Rui said standing in place.

"Hmm! Beloved Minister Long, how have you been lately?"

"Thanks to The Emperor’s grace, I’ve been eating well and sleeping well."

"Hmm, that’s good; since you’ve come, why not enter the palace?"

"The Emperor is busy with state affairs, your subject dare not disturb."

Long Rui spoke standardly; in fact, everyone knew the real situation.

The Emperor internally gritted his teeth in hatred, but seeing Long Rui’s ghostly face, he felt more comfortable.

He turned his gaze to Xuexue, his tone carrying reproach: "Miss Situ left the palace, why didn’t you report it to me? Don’t you know the palace rules?"

Anyone entering and exiting the Imperial Palace must have the Emperor’s approval.

The Princess Consort of War Prince sneaking out now made The Emperor very displeased; besides, he wanted to keep Xuexue in the palace to use her to threaten Long Rui in the future.

Xuexue’s eyes shifted, saying, "The Emperor, have you forgotten? Xuexue left the palace with an imperial decree."
