Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258 Temporarily Still Credible

"You have been by my side for so many years, how come you can’t think through such a simple matter?"

"Uh."

Nanny was left utterly speechless by the Empress Dowager’s remark, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Only after being prompted did she finally understand that the Empress Dowager’s visit to Prince Mo’s Mansion was in fact to seek reconciliation with Sui Zimo!

"Your Majesty, you don’t think that Prince Mo might have guessed something, do you?" She lowered her voice and asked in a barely audible whisper.

After all, the Empress Dowager herself had only discovered the truth after much inquiry and by a stroke of luck—let alone Prince Mo, who was still in swaddling clothes at the time.

And later taken to Yejun, how could he possibly know about that incident?

If he truly knew about that incident, that would mean he was too skillful, but her instincts told her that was impossible.

"Shut up!"

The Empress Dowager sharply scolded the nanny.

It was all because of her son, who caused her endless worries, daring to take advantage of anyone and conspiring with others, thinking he was the only smart one and the rest were fools!

If Sui Zimo’s identity was so simple, then why would those people have sent him here from the Illusion Continent?

"This old servant has spoken out of turn, please forgive me, Your Majesty," the nanny immediately bowed her head.

...

In another courtyard of Prince Mo’s Mansion.

Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang had scaled the wall to enter; it seemed only Prince Mo would be in such a unique position as to climb walls in his own residence.

"Can we trust what Princess Consort Yi said?"

Sitting at the edge of the table, Lin Caisang looked up at him and asked.

She always felt that Princess Consort Yi was hiding something from them, but then again, they weren’t close to Princess Consort Yi, and expecting her to bare her soul to them was not realistic.

"For the time being, she’s trustworthy,"

Sui Zimo replied while placing food onto her bowl from the table.

"Eat first. We can discuss the rest later. Some matters, perhaps if we don’t investigate, the truth will reveal itself when the time comes."

"Mm."

Lin Caisang nodded.

She indeed agreed with this point.

"You should eat more too. Don’t just focus on serving me. By the way, the Empress Dowager is still in the mansion; are you really not going to see her?"

She added some more food to his bowl and asked.

The Empress Dowager sure was persistent, having decided not to leave Prince Mo’s Mansion, and now it seemed she might even stay for dinner, continuing to wait indefinitely.

"I’ll go and see her in a while," Sui Zimo thought for a moment and said.

The Empress Dowager lingering in Prince Mo’s Mansion didn’t seem right.

He had thought that she would leave if she waited for a long time without seeing him, not wanting to lose her dignity by continuing to wait.

But who would have known, the Empress Dowager’s persistence was not something that ordinary people could match.

Indeed, if the Empress Dowager hadn’t had such capability, how could she possibly have supported her son to the emperor’s throne during the nine princes’ battle for the succession? Her ability to endure and remain hidden was not something the average person could match.

"Should I accompany you?" Lin Caisang asked.

"Do you want to go?"

Sui Zimo countered.

"Of course not."

Lin Caisang answered without hesitation.

Knowing full well that the other party harbored ulterior motives and was waiting for her to walk into the trap, why would she eagerly go and deliver herself into that big net?

That certainly wasn’t something a person as clever as her would do.

"Then let’s not go," Sui Zimo said.

"Are we really not going?"

Lin Caisang pouted and asked him.
