"National Teacher, Prince Mo has just returned to Shaohua City and he seems to have some disagreements with you. If you take action on anyone now, I’m afraid you’ll provide him with the opportunity to incriminate you before the emperor,"
"Am I supposed to be scared of him?"
Suyang was so angry that his mouth was slanted. Mentioning Prince Mo made him even more upset.
What sort of prince was Mo? Just an insignificant pawn who had been abandoned since childhood. Was he worth Suyang’s concern? If it were not for the emperor’s continuing use for him, how could he behave so arrogantly in Shaohua City?
"National Teacher, be careful with your words. Prince Mo is in favor now," reminded the guest minister to Suyang.
Why was that? Because the emperor’s favorite, Prince Lin, had acted foolishly and risked his life by going to White Blind Mountain, and he has not returned since. The emperor was now relying on Prince Mo to go to the mountain and bring Prince Lin back.
At this time, if anyone dared to offend Prince Mo, they were basically colliding with the barrel of a gun.
Upon hearing this, Suyang took a deep breath and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Prince Mo was in favor? It was clearly because the emperor had something to ask of him.
But at the same time, he also knew that if he truly made an enemy out of Prince Mo, causing him to refuse to go to White Blind Mountain, then he would certainly be pushing himself to a dead end.
The emperor, for the sake of Prince Lin, could do anything.
"Damn the lot, let them live a few more days!" he said icily, flipping his robe.
At the most lavish restaurant in Shaohua city, Sui Ziyou and Lin Caisang were sitting by the windows on the second floor. Across from Ziyou, Caisang was heartily eating meat.
"Sister-in-law, I don’t understand. Why are you leaving and not treating Suri?"
Though he also felt that Suri, that guy, it’d serve him right if he died, why should sister-in-law cure him? He should just be allowed to die from his illness.
But, sister-in-law had already accepted the task. If she just leaves and the task fails, won’t that be the end?
"Who said I’m not going to treat him?"
Lin Caisang glanced at Sui Ziyou, shaking his head.
"Ziyou, you should eat as well. Aren’t you hungry?"
"Hungry," Ziyou replied.
But with doubts in her heart, no matter how hungry, she didn’t have the appetite for the food in front of her.
"Since we’re going to cure him, why are we leaving?"
"Eat at ease. Soon, someone from the National Teacher’s residence will come to invite us back," Lin Caisang said, smiling, moving some beef to Ziyou’s bowl. "Relax, I’m not one to give up halfway."
The man from the National Teacher’s residence was certainly different from the others who had come begging for medical help in the past, all high and mighty. If she didn’t teach them a lesson, they would never understand the old saying: there are always higher mountains and better people.
Ziyou frowned, looking at Lin Caisang puzzledly, but soon she understood.
"Sister-in-law, did you... poison Suyang?"
She knew it! Her sister-in-law wouldn’t just leave like that, she must’ve had a backup plan.
"What if he finds a doctor who can cure your poison? What then?" She asked.
"Don’t you trust me?" Lin Caisang chuckled again.
The ones able to cure her poison probably weren’t born yet. Before long, Suyang would surely be screaming and pleading with her to come and cure his son.
"Eat quickly, or we’ll run out of time," she urged.
When those people come knocking, they wouldn’t have time to enjoy these delicacies anymore.
