Chapter 1281: Chapter 1281: Sending People Back

Emperor: "!!"

What use was an imposter to him?

Even dragging him out and beheading him would barely quench the fury in his heart, if he were the genuine one secretly taken away by Sui Zimo!

What he wanted was Yin Baiqing!

"However, Your Majesty, this official was thinking that since the child keeps yearning for Prince Yi’s Mansion, perhaps, Your Majesty might as well have someone send the child back to Prince Yi’s Mansion. I truly can’t take it anymore."

Seeing the Emperor remained silent, Suyang continued to speak.

Hearing this, the Emperor nearly spat out blood. To send him back to Prince Yi’s Mansion—an imposter—what use would that be?

Even Princess Consort Yi wanted the real Yin Baiqing, not some fake!

Moreover, if he sent the person back to Prince Yi’s Mansion, how would he use Yin Baiqing to threaten Princess Consort Yi and those people? There was absolutely no way he could send the person back to Prince Yi’s Mansion; he knew this better than anyone!

Listening to Suyang’s plaintive words, the Emperor let out a heavy sigh and began to speak through gritted teeth.

"So, you’re saying Wu’er is still in your estate?

"Of course," Suyang immediately nodded.

Even if it was a fake, it was still Fifth Young Master. He couldn’t possibly tell the Emperor to his face that he had allied with Sui Zimo, could he? That certainly wouldn’t be a smart move.

"Does Your Majesty wish to summon Wu’er to the palace?" he tentatively asked.

"There’s no need."

The Emperor’s menacing gaze bore into him as he spoke.

Why would he want a fake to enter the palace? These two were clearly coming into the palace to oppose him!

"If Wu’er is still at the National Teacher’s residence, then you may all withdraw."

He waved them off.

If he couldn’t retrieve what was given, he would start from Prince Yi’s Mansion. Let Princess Consort Yi demand it herself; as a mother, she would want to see her own son. Were Sui Zimo and Suyang really going to stop her?

"Yes, your son (servant) takes his leave," Sui Zimo and Suyang immediately exited.

...

Outside the Imperial Study, the two men walked shoulder to shoulder, with Suyang unable to help but glance at Sui Zimo several times.

"Prince Mo, if the Emperor decrees that this official must send Fifth Young Master back to Prince Yi’s Mansion, what should be done?" he asked.

This was also something the Emperor might do. Compared to Sui Zimo, he felt the Emperor would want to send Fifth Young Master back to Prince Yi’s Mansion.

After all, once in Prince Yi’s Mansion, the Emperor could come up with a plan to get him back. Didn’t he manage to do that once before? But once the little guy was with Prince Mo, it would be hard for the Emperor to get his hands on him again.

Of course, he wasn’t saying that it was easy for the Emperor to get the little guy at this moment. But who was the Emperor? How could he possibly give up easily?

"Wouldn’t it be good to send him back?"

Sui Zimo glanced sideways at Suyang, countering his question.

"Er..."

Suyang was taken aback by his response, a look of speechlessness filling his eyes.

Of course it would be good. He didn’t even know the true identity of the little guy, just that the Emperor was so keen on having him back. Even for that reason alone, he didn’t dare keep this little troublemaker any longer.

But the key point was, the little guy wasn’t in his estate at the moment. Could he send a fake back to Prince Yi’s Mansion?

Prince Yi and his wife weren’t fools; couldn’t they tell the difference between a true and a fake?

"Prince Mo is right. If the Emperor really wishes so, then this National Teacher will have to send Fifth Young Master back to Prince Yi’s Mansion," he said to Sui Zimo.

Who ever decreed that he must send the real one?
