Chapter 1342: Single
Madam Wang naturally understood this point as well, but she was a veteran of the Itinerant World, very slick in her actions, and wouldn’t be foolish enough to expose the Prince’s lies.
"Oh dear! The Prince must be physically drained, I’ve had the servants stew some tonic for you, please eat more to nourish your body."
Long Rui: "Just set it aside."
Madam Wang: "Your body is unwell, let me feed you!"
Long Rui: "No need, although I’m not feeling well, I’m not so weak that I need to be fed."
Indeed, the War Prince is renowned; even though he’s ill now, it would be embarrassing to say that he needs to be fed.
Madam Wang: "My Lord, would you like to dine at my courtyard tonight? I’ve prepared dishes that you love."
"No, I’m not feeling well, nothing tastes good."
"My Lord, you can’t go on like this, your health will deteriorate; no matter how poor your appetite is, you must eat a little."
"I have just recovered from a serious illness, and my body is very weak, not suitable for moving around much—let’s wait a few more days." No matter how Madam Wang persuaded him, the War Prince sat there like a block of wood, his face wearing a cold mask, showing no emotion.
