"Your Majesty, this is no longer a matter of what this young lady demands or not."
Facing the Emperor’s words, Lin Caisang was not the least bit polite, completely disregarding the clear implications in his speech.
"Prince Mo’s body could never survive long on White Blind Mountain, a fact I think Your Majesty understands even better than I do. Even so, do you still intend to send Prince Mo to White Blind Mountain to rescue Prince Lin?"
Looking at Prince Mo, the Emperor gritted his teeth.
"It is imperative that Prince Mo is the one to go to White Blind Mountain, and I hope the young lady will bear with it."
Upon hearing this, not only Ya Molian but also Suyang, who had remained silent, found something odd about the Emperor’s words.
The meaning behind Lin Caisang’s words was clear enough, wasn’t it? It meant that for this trip to White Blind Mountain, just her presence would suffice; whether Prince Mo was there or not made no difference at all.
Moreover, with Prince Mo’s Mansion currently afflicted by poison, heading to White Blind Mountain could even become a hindrance for Lin Caisang.
Yet he did not understand why, despite the clarity of what had been said, the Emperor still insisted on sending Prince Mo to White Blind Mountain. Could it be that the Emperor wished for Prince Mo to die there?
This possibility seemed rather likely, considering the Emperor indeed truly detested Prince Mo.
"Is the young lady disdaining this prince? Hm?"
Ya Molian narrowed his dark eyes slightly, a hint of dangerous light sweeping towards Lin Caisang as he spoke.
This girl, what cunning plan was she conceiving by probing the Emperor this way? Was there a hidden agenda behind the Emperor’s insistence on sending him to White Blind Mountain to rescue Prince Lin?
With this thought, he couldn’t help but give the Emperor another look.
"It’s not exactly disdain; it’s just that, Prince Mo, you should be well aware of your own health, shouldn’t you?" Lin Caisang said.
"The prince is very much aware, and since the young lady has mentioned it, it seems I really must go to White Blind Mountain after all." Ya Molian spoke.
No matter what the Emperor’s intentions were, he would see for himself by going to White Blind Mountain.
Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang simply gave a faint smile.
"Since that is the case, then... I can only take a few more cherished treasures from His Majesty’s treasury. After all, it will not be easy to escape White Blind Mountain while protecting two lives, not to mention, there’s also the National Teacher’s family member to contend with on the way. This time, I must employ all my expertise."
Little girl, could you show some consideration when bragging? Your husband is still standing right here, you know?
"Additionally, Your Majesty, let us speak plainly before proceeding, if there are any mishaps with Prince Mo’s health due to his own issues along the way, this young lady takes no responsibility."
Lin Caisang turned to the Emperor, continuing to speak.
"Of course, We will be mindful of that," the Emperor nodded and said.
Lin Caisang didn’t stay long in the royal study and soon left, led by the National Teacher to select items from the treasury that caught her eye.
Meanwhile, back in the royal study, Ya Molian had yet to leave. Father and son were now at an impasse.
"Father, the woman doctor earlier mentioned she needed to prepare some things, which would take several days. Your son thinks he should also make preparations, don’t you agree?"
Ya Molian’s gaze fixed intently on the Emperor, his words laden with meaning.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor took a deep breath, "We understand. Return to your mansion and await news."
