Chapter 1333: Dawn
The petite woman before him refused to admit she had taken advantage of him before. Long Rui didn’t bother arguing with her. After all, they were going to be husband and wife, so whoever benefitted didn’t matter.
Xuexue: "It’s getting late. You should hurry out. If someone sees you, it won’t be good."
Because there were many of the Emperor’s spies in the mansion, Long Rui would sneak into Xuexue’s room. At first, Xuexue didn’t understand why they had to sneak around even though they were already married.
Long Rui explained that it was due to Situ Yongjie’s military power. He didn’t want the Emperor to know he was deeply in love with Situ Xueer, as it might cause the Emperor to grow even more wary of him, which would hinder his actions.
Xuexue didn’t say anything after hearing this. Regarding the military power in Situ Yongjie’s hands, in a past life, the royal family had always tried desperately to acquire it, and she had become a sacrificial pawn.
Long Rui nodded and said, "My dear, I will come to see you again tonight."
Xuexue nodded, "Alright!"
After tidying up his clothes, Long Rui slipped out through the window.
At this point, Zi Xia, who had been knocking on the door outside, also fell silent. It seemed she thought the eldest Miss hadn’t woken up yet and went to do other chores. With no one disturbing her, Xuexue lay back in bed and fell into a deep sleep.
It wasn’t until nearly noon that Xuexue was awakened by the loud noises outside.
Outside the door.
