Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2356: Chapter 2356: Digging Tunnels

The Fat Man was delighted upon hearing this, "Great, big brother, I didn’t expect that with a random dig, you’d reach the War Prince’s Mansion’s kitchen. Heaven is smiling on us."

To steal back the token, the two of them went all out, spending one hundred taels of silver to rent this large house, just for digging a tunnel.

Thinking that the War Prince’s martial arts were formidable, they knew they were no match for him directly. Moreover, with experts around the Prince, they would be turned to dust before even getting close. For safety’s sake, they thought of this method.

This large house is roughly fifty meters away from the War Prince’s Mansion. They had been digging for two days and nights straight. There were many stones underground, and they had to twist and turn to avoid the large rocks, which took more time.

The Thin Man wasn’t as happy as his brother, "Just reaching the kitchen, what’s there to be happy about? Now, if we dug straight to the Princess Consort’s room, that would be something to celebrate!"

Then they could retrieve the token effortlessly.

The Fat Man laughed and said, "Come on, big brother, be content. Reaching the kitchen isn’t bad. One day, when we find out the War Prince isn’t in the mansion, we can buy a big pack of Bewitching Powder to dump into the food. Everyone in the mansion will be knocked out, and we can do whatever we want.

Saying this, the Fat Man laughed proudly. In the Heavenly Mountain Sect, everyone called him Little Zhuge Liang. Today, he truly lived up to that name by coming up with this brilliant plan.

They waited anxiously for a few days, and finally, one day, they got wind that the War Prince wasn’t in the mansion. It seemed he had gone to the jail to oversee the medication for someone who had lost their mind.

The Fat Man exclaimed excitedly, "Great, we’ve finally got our chance."

The Thin Man was a bit worried, "What if the Princess Consort goes too? Wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain?"

The Fat Man: "Are you dumb! If she leaves the token in the room, then we’ve succeeded, haven’t we? How would it be all in vain?"

The Thin Man: "Yes, let’s hope the Princess doesn’t carry it with her like we do."

The Fat Man’s immediate reaction was: "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, don’t jinx it! Stop talking nonsense."

Hearing this, the Thin Man wasn’t pleased. For these two days, he’s been digging day and night just to steal back the brother’s token, so his status in the Heavenly Mountain Sect would remain unshaken. Why scold him, then? Instantly, his face turned dark, and he said displeasedly, "Fatty Brother, why did you ptooey at your big brother?"

"Hehe... Brother, you misunderstood. Little brother wasn’t ptooey-ing at big brother, just at those words."

"Hmph! Who do you think I’ve been working so hard for these two days!"

"I know big brother means well for me, don’t be angry, hehe...!"

.........

War Prince’s Mansion.

The ones who lost their mind had been drinking the potion for three days, and today was the last day. After this round of medication, they could gradually go home.

In the past, such matters would be handled solely by Long Yi, and Long Rui didn’t have to be on site.

Long Rui and Xuexue, on a whim, decided to visit the jail to check on those who lost their minds.

"Prince."

Xuexue, having finished dressing up, came out from within. She wore a plain white long brocade robe with a light purple open gauze garment over it. Her every move made the gauze glimmer slightly. She wore a beautiful bracelet on her hand, and her hair was styled in a somewhat intricate pattern using purple and white silk ribbons, giving her a refreshed and extremely beautiful appearance.

Long Rui’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but praise, "Darling, you look truly beautiful."

Xuexue lowered her head, smiling softly, revealing a section of her snow-white neck at the back. Long Rui was enraptured at the sight.
