Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Shouldered It Directly

Lin Caisang: "!!!"

If it had been her, she wouldn’t want to meet the enemy’s cousin either, okay?

It was obvious that the Emperor had wanted to save his own son’s life, so he had forced the person upon them. Did he think no one knew? If Suyang had truly happily accepted such an arrangement, then he would be the fool.

"What a pity for that child,"

she shook her head and said.

"Isn’t that the truth... Uh, Miss is joking. What is there to pity about that child?"

The housekeeper Xin agreed halfway, then hurriedly stopped himself, glancing around to make sure no one else was there before he let out a quiet sigh of relief.

The thing with the Emperor was just adding to his master’s troubles. At this time, who would dare to pity the Fifth Young Master from Prince Yi’s household? Unless they no longer wanted their own head.

The real person to be pitied was his master!

"Prince Mo, Miss, the master is inside; please enter on your own. The master has ordered not to see anyone from the household, so I shall not accompany you in,"

Xin, the housekeeper, said to Lin Caisang once they arrived outside the study.

"All right, thank you for your trouble, Housekeeper Xin," Lin Caisang nodded.

...

Inside the study, as Lin Caisang and Ya Molian entered together, Suyang was gazing at a pot of yet-to-bloom plum blossoms, sighing.

Upon seeing the pair enter, he quickly went up to greet them.

"Prince Mo, what brings you here? These servants are so thoughtless. Prince Mo coming and they didn’t even report it..." He thought it was only Lin Caisang, but he didn’t expect Prince Mo to come along!

"There’s no need for such formality, National Teacher. I am merely accompanying the Miss," Ya Molian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes,"

Suyang glanced at Lin Caisang, then back at Prince Mo.

It seemed that this female healer was openly associating with Prince Mo, deciding to side with him.

Indeed, he had also heard from Housekeeper Xin that these two had been quite intimate on their journey to White Blind Mountain. Compared to others, they naturally had more to talk about.

"National Teacher, I specifically came today to return the gifts I had taken from the National Teacher’s residence, since I have not yet cured your son’s poisoning," Lin Caisang stated her purpose directly.

Mentioning his son made Suyang’s complexion worsen.

He sighed deeply, "Miss need not be so formal with me. If it hadn’t been for Prince Lin’s ruthless actions, how could Ri’er have... This has nothing to do with Miss, it’s all Prince Lin’s fault.

As for those items, given that they have already been presented to Miss, they are now yours."

The National Teacher’s residence was not lacking such trivial items, and besides, being able to develop a closer relationship with Lin Caisang over these offerings was actually beneficial.

Now that he had lost his son and was directly at odds with the Empress, his conflicts with the Emperor were growing more intense. It was time to seek a pillar of support.

He had come to realize that in Wei State, aside from Prince Mo who still had some semblance of conscience, the hearts of other people were so dark that human life meant nothing to them.

Of course, he had acted the same in the past.

But now he understood, and he hoped it wasn’t too late.

"Prince Mo, I have nothing to do today. May I have the pleasure of playing a game of chess with you?" he asked Ya Molian tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Ya Molian exchanged a glance with Lin Caisang, just for an instant, before turning back to Suyang.

"Yes."

A single word.

Suyang’s anxious heart, because of that one word, finally settled down.

"Xin, the housekeeper, is the tea not ready yet?" he called out to the door of the study.
