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."
