Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: Too Sick to Get Out of Bed

"How is that not right? Even if I did let him enter the palace, what of it?" the Emperor snapped coldly.

He wanted to confront Prince Yi, this double-dealing fellow, and ask where he had treated him poorly, to actually join forces with that scourge Sui Zimo against him. Did he really think the Emperor was so easily bullied?

"He dared to let Prince Mo into his mansion and even took the female physician there; I fear that before long, he will dare to do anything!"

He did not want to raise a wolf by his side that could never be satisfied!

"Your Majesty..."

Eunuch Gui clenched his teeth and took a deep breath before continuing.

"Prince Yi has always kept a low profile, and even if there has been some activity in Prince Yi’s Mansion lately, it’s all for the Princess Consort Yi. If Your Majesty summons Prince Yi to the palace now over the issue of the female physician entering Prince Yi’s Mansion, I’m afraid it would give others a handle against you."

Hearing this, the Emperor opened his mouth but was unable to utter a single word.

Indeed. Sui Zimo had only taken the female physician to Prince Yi’s Mansion, and now he hastily summoned Prince Yi to the palace for a scolding. Wasn’t this just a clear sign that the Princess Consort Yi’s illness was related to him?

Even though he was the Emperor, with numerous ministers watching over, if his actions were indeed biased, it might backfire and stir discontent among the court officials.

"Forget it, forget it, you may leave."

Even though the female physician looked formidable, she was after all just a young girl. How capable could she be?

Let Sui Zimo make his fuss; he was curious to see what sort of trouble this scourge could stir up!

"Your servant shall take his leave."

Seeing his expression soften, Eunuch Gui left the imperial study.

...

Inside Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Prince Sui Zimo himself had come, bringing along the female physician. When Prince Yi heard this news, he was ecstatic and personally came out to greet them, leading the two to the inner quarters of the mansion.

"Zimo, shall we sit for a while in the courtyard before letting Miss Lin attend to the Princess Consort’s illness?" Inside one of the courtyards, Prince Yi looked at Zimo and asked with a tone of inquiry.

He was uncertain about the exact nature of his nephew’s relationship with the female physician before him.

If their relationship was merely one of cooperation, then why would Zimo personally accompany Lin Caisang to Prince Yi’s Mansion? He could have simply sent a personal guard to come with her.

Or, he could have sent someone ahead to notify Prince Yi’s Mansion, and he would definitely have sent someone to fetch the physician immediately.

"Uncle Prince Yi, has the Princess Consort Yi’s condition worsened to the point where she cannot leave her bed? Hmm?"

Zimo glanced at Lin Caisang and then turned his gaze to Prince Yi as he spoke.

Would he really feel at ease allowing Caisang to examine the Princess Consort Yi alone? Of course not!

The idea that he could bring Caisang to Prince Yi’s Mansion was already generous enough, but to let her out of his sight? Was he really that keen on letting her be kidnapped by those lurking in the shadows?

"Ahem."

Prince Yi was choked by his words and turned his head to look at Lin Caisang.

Yet, she did not say a word, as if what Zimo had said was exactly what she had in mind.

"Someone, go and help the Princess Consort here to the courtyard."

With no other option, he commanded the maids to bring the Princess Consort out.

He had no choice; the fame of the female physician by Zimo’s side was too resounding, and despite having invited nearly all the renowned physicians, none could diagnose the problem.

Now, his only hope lay with the female physician brought by Sui Zimo.
