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.
