Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: These Words Are Too Harsh

But Prince Mo was different; his fate was that of the Lone Star of Tiansha, an impression so profound that it was impossible for him to misremember.

Upon hearing this, Ya Molian’s hand, holding the teacup, paused, and she lifted her eyes to glance at Suyang.

"So, what is it that the National Teacher is trying to say?"

She asked Suyang.

"Uh."

Suyang was choked by her words.

Indeed, he only harbored suspicions about the events of that year, it might not be as he imagined.

But if it really was as he thought in his heart, wouldn’t it mean...

He stole a glance at Ya Molian, feeling that some things were better left unsaid, lest they bring about deadly peril.

"National Teacher, there are some matters I would still hope the National Teacher not speculate wildly about. If the emperor found out, I fear... You should be able to understand the reasoning,"

Ya Molian said slowly, with full of warning in her dark eyes.

"Yes, yes, the official understands."

This much, he understood all too well as the emperor’s favored subject.

However, with the recent affair of his son, whether he remained the favored subject was something that needed reevaluation.

"I do not wish to be overly concerned with the past. National Teacher, by inviting me to stay as a guest in your residence today, what is it that you wish for me to do for you, hmm?" Ya Molian inquired further.

"This..."

Suyang was put in an awkward position by her question.

Of course, he expected Ya Molian to avenge the death of his son, didn’t he? After thinking it over these past days, it seemed that in the whole Shaohua City, the only person capable of avenging him was Prince Mo.

Who else could possibly kill Sui Zilin right under the emperor’s nose?

The deed he wished to be done could only be carried out by Ya Molian, and now in Shaohua City, it seemed the only person worth his allegiance was this Prince Mo, with whom he had once had an absolute enmity.

"Prince Mo, if you can avenge this lowly official, I will henceforth comply with any commands you give, without any second thoughts,"

he stood up, bowed respectfully to Ya Molian, and said.

At that, Ya Molian genuinely curved her thin lips, chuckling lightly.

"National Teacher, you speak too gravely," she said indifferently.

"Prince Mo, in Shaohua City, everyone says that I, the lowly official, have a great enmity with you."

Seeing her respond in such a manner, Suyang quickly spoke up again.

"However, at that time, I merely calculated the astrological fate based on the facts. The birthdate information was reported by the emperor himself, and the resulting fate was not what I wished. If we were to truly talk about it, there is, in fact, no substantial enmity between us, Prince Mo, don’t you agree that what I say is correct?"

"Ha."

Ya Molian chuckled again.

"National Teacher, you seem to be desperately seeking a cure in your urgency. If we were to say who could avenge for the National Teacher, it certainly wouldn’t be this prince. I believe Prince Zijin would be more than willing to avenge this cause on behalf of the National Teacher."

Perhaps, Sui Zijin and Princess Consort Lian were waiting for Suyang to come knocking at their door.

They would never expect that Suyang, having not sought anyone else’s aid, would actually come to seek the help of Prince Mo, with whom he had a twenty-year grudge, would they? If they found out, wouldn’t they want to carve a piece of flesh from him?

"Prince Zijin?"

Hearing that name, Suyang’s face instantly darkened.

"Prince Mo jests. Although Prince Zijin is your blood brother, to be frank... If it wasn’t for Prince Zijin’s involvement, I would never believe in the death of Ri’er,"

Suyang retorted.

As for Prince Lin, that fool of a fellow, he might be used by someone and not even realize it.
