Chapter 1249: Chapter 1249: Still Wearing a Mask?

"Old sir, what is it that you pity?"

Lin Caisang, dressed in her usual attire, spoke up after hearing the person who was about to pass her by.

"Hiss!"

The man turned his head after hearing her voice and immediately his eyes widened in shock, followed by a sharp intake of breath.

"You, you..."

The next moment, he took off at top speed, as if he were smoke being whisked away.

Lin Caisang: "..."

As she watched his retreating figure, she almost turned to stone on the spot.

"Did I... offend him?"

She turned her eyes sideways to Sui Zimo, asking in a whisper.

Not only did he not answer her, but he also hurried away as if a ferocious tiger was chasing him.

Whom had she managed to offend now?

"You know,"

Sui Zimo helplessly raised his hand, lightly touching the tip of her nose that was just outside her mask.

"Your current identity is renowned throughout Shaohua City, who doesn’t know about the mask you wear? With just one look, people can guess who you are. Faced with a divine physician, what else can they do but flee?"

It’s called feeling ashamed in comparison to another’s excellence, couldn’t she understand that?

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang fell silent.

"Alright, it’s my mistake."

It seemed that both her and Brother Molian had quite the reputation in Shaohua City; together, they could turn the city upside down.

"Brother Molian, are we just going to enter so openly?" she asked.

"What else?"

Sui Zimo responded with a question of his own.

Were they supposed to sneak over the wall instead?

"If we’re here to treat someone, we should do it openly and let everyone know. Sang’er, follow me in."

"Okay."

Lin Caisang readily agreed and followed Sui Zimo into Prince Yi’s Mansion.

...

’Clang!’

The teacup in his hand had been abruptly flung to the ground, shattering and scattering ceramic pieces everywhere.

However, the man in the golden robe at the desk seemed oblivious to the noise; instead, he stood up, walked around the desk, and grabbed the front of the clothes of the person who had come to report, hoisting him up.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

He hadn’t heard clearly before. What had happened outside?

"Your Majesty, Prince Mo has brought a female doctor into Prince Yi’s Mansion already," the reportee repeated, seeing how the emperor asked.

"You saw it with your own eyes?"

The emperor couldn’t believe it. How could Sui Zimo bring a female doctor to Prince Yi’s Mansion? The two had nothing to do with each other!

"No."

The man immediately shook his head upon hearing the emperor’s question.

"Although I did not personally see it, the men I dispatched to keep watch over Prince Yi’s Mansion reported it clearly. Indeed, it was Prince Mo and the female doctor who entered Prince Yi’s Mansion.

We might not have seen Prince Mo’s men before, but the masked female doctor, they recognized her."

Of course, the female doctor wasn’t someone just anyone could see, but in the whole of Shaohua City, how many women would wear a mask when entering Prince Yi’s Mansion?

It could only be the female doctor, couldn’t it?

If his subordinates couldn’t guess even that much, they no longer needed to work for him.

"Dammit!"

The emperor released the man’s collar, cursing furiously.

Was Sui Zimo really someone sent by the heavens to thwart him? Why on earth would he take that female doctor to Prince Yi’s Mansion?
