Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: It’d Be Strange If It Wasn’t Mentioned!

And the person most likely to have switched out someone was Prince Mo’s Mansion, with its lord Sui Zimo!

"My lord, Miss Lin, the twists and turns in your minds, I truly am..." He looked at the two speechlessly and sighed in his heart.

He had just thought that the child’s disguise was not convincing enough, yet if it could plant doubt in the Emperor and the others, then that slight resemblance was sufficient. With nearly perfect likeness, a smidgen of falsehood was the easiest to deceive others.

"What did you say?"

Lin Caisang narrowed her eyes, looking towards Jiang Zuo.

"Er..."

Jiang Zuo immediately tensed his back, quickly shaking his head.

"Nothing, I said nothing, I’ll go take care of the matters at hand."

With that, he took the child and left, prepared to immediately go to the National Teacher’s residence to switch the person back.

...

Within the National Teacher’s residence.

When Suyang saw the child brought by Jiang Zuo, his eyebrows were already deeply furrowed.

Prince Mo and Miss Lin really dared to think of anything and do anything. They previously sent someone to instruct him to sprinkle a packet of poison into the Fifth Young Master’s food and then send him to Prince Mo’s Mansion.

He was about to administer the poison into the Fifth Young Master’s mouth when they told him it wasn’t necessary to go through all that trouble.

At that time, he swiftly ordered the food that had almost reached the child’s mouth to be taken away, nearly breaking out in a cold sweat.

And now, they brought him a child who looked somewhat similar but also not right in any way—what exactly were they trying to stir up?

"Jiang Zuo, what on earth is your lord thinking?"

With this child, he could guarantee that he would slip up by tomorrow, leaving no secrets whatsoever.

"The lord only ordered me to bring the Fifth Young Master back to the mansion. Beyond that, he gave no instructions," Jiang Zuo bluntly replied.

Suyang: "..."

He had come to realize, dealing with someone like Zimo could certainly shorten his lifespan by a considerable margin!

"Didn’t he at least say what to do with the child you’ve brought?"

He asked.

"The lord did not mention anything," Jiang Zuo answered again.

"Didn’t mention anything?"

Suyang raised his eyebrows in surprise, looking at Jiang Zuo with a face dripping sweat.

Not mentioned anything, my foot!

Wasn’t Zimo afraid that the Emperor would summon him for a serious talk tomorrow? Or maybe, was Zimo so bold because he now had Miss Lin in his mansion, and he feared nothing?

But he was aware that the Emperor had already issued a royal decree to Prince Mo’s Mansion, requesting Miss Lin to enter the palace.

To anyone with eyes, it was clear what the Emperor had in mind, and yet Zimo still dared to charge forward, gun in hand.

It was nothing if not audacious!

"Jiang Zuo, this won’t do. You must give me a clear explanation, or otherwise, what should I, the National Teacher, do?"

He surely couldn’t just ignore everything, pretend this child was the Fifth Young Master, and leave him aside, could he? If that was the case...

"Tsk!"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he clicked his tongue lightly.

"I see, tell your lord that the National Teacher understands."

So, it was to make the Emperor and his men suspicious, huh?

But he genuinely didn’t understand. Why would Zimo care so much for just the Fifth Young Master from Prince Yi’s Mansion?

Of course, aside from Zimo and Lin Caisang paying special attention to the Fifth Young Master, he also realized that the Emperor was exceptionally interested in this child.

Otherwise, would the Emperor go to all lengths, openly and covertly, to place so many eyes in his mansion, simply based on the child’s status as the Fifth Young Master from Prince Yi’s Mansion? Certainly not.
