"Can you find out who that person is?" she asked.
Molian Ya shook her head.
Of course, if one really wanted to look into it, it was possible to find out, but it was a matter of how much time it would take and how to conduct the investigation.
But if they were to actually do so, he thought, the cost would be significant.
Though he too was very curious about who exactly was behind the Emperor, manipulating everything, he believed that this matter had to be approached slowly; it truly could not be rushed.
"If it’s not easy then we’ll investigate slowly; we will eventually uncover the truth," Lin Caisang thought likewise.
"Did you get the antidote?" she asked.
Really, everything else could be disregarded, but the antidote was a must. It was critical for her own development of an antidote.
While raising his hand, a porcelain vial appeared in his palm, which he offered before her eyes.
Lin Caisang took the porcelain vial in her hands, opened the lid, and poured out the medicinal pills inside to find, to her surprise, that there were five.
She raised an eyebrow, looking towards Molian Ya.
"I asked him for five pills, but I hadn’t expected..." Molian Ya quirked his lips.
"You didn’t expect he would really give you five pills outright, without even bargaining, right?" Lin Caisang finished his sentence for him.
"From this, it’s evident that the trip to White Blind Mountain has an unusual purpose. It seems it wasn’t the Emperor who sent you there but rather that hidden hand behind him who wanted you to go to White Blind Mountain,"
"What exactly is at that place, I wonder?"
"We’ll know once we get there," Molian Ya replied.
The journey towards White Blind Mountain was rather quiet, with no incidents occurring.
Normally, whether it was Prince Mo going out or those who didn’t want Prince Lin to return, they would all think of ways to increase the difficulties for Molian Ya on this journey.
But this time, it was uncharacteristically uneventful. Their biggest difficulty was having Young Master Suri with them.
Previously, Suri had been knocked out by Suyang and taken away. When he woke up woozy in the carriage, it was already dusk. Seeing himself inside the carriage, Suri didn’t think twice before trying to dash out.
Steward Xin, who had been sitting outside the carriage, was bumped by Suri’s plump body and fell directly from the carriage.
Since the carriage was moving, falling off it inevitably caused injuries. Seeing this, the coachman immediately stopped the carriage and went to help Steward Xin up.
"Steward, are you alright?"
"I’m fine, I’m fine."
Steward Xin shook his head resignedly, feeling that this was indeed the most challenging mission he had ever undertaken.
This Young Master Suri...
"No, what are you waiting for? Catch the young master!"
Remembering Suri, his face turned green because during his fall, when no one was paying attention, Suri had taken the chance to leap from the carriage and run.
The guards from the National Teacher’s residence, hearing Steward Xin’s command, hastily gave chase, dragging back Young Master Suri, who had not gotten far before he started panting heavily.
"Xin, let go of me, who gave you permission to take me out? I will kill you bastards! You are in cahoots with that bitch, conspiring to trick me, wanting my life, you won’t get it!"
Suri was being dragged by the guards, one on each side, still shouting insults as he struggled.
