Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: Suspicion? What Does He Suspect?

Although Yin Baiqing had never mentioned his other family members during the two years he lived in Prince Yi’s Mansion, it’s hard to guarantee that he wasn’t deceived by the people from Prince Mo’s Mansion into revealing the truth.

Then, at that time, all the stories she had made up to Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang could be exposed!

"They just switched Wu’er out without taking him away directly," Prince Yi reminded her.

If Sui Zimo had taken Yin Baiqing away directly, the emperor would still have the opportunity to question Sui Zimo. But now? There’s still an impostor in the National Teacher’s abode. As long as Sui Zimo doesn’t admit it, who can say he took Yin Baiqing?

And they are even less likely to speak up, because Yin Baiqing had already been bestowed upon the National Teacher’s abode, to be Suyang’s son. They don’t have the right to make claims.

"An impostor is still impostor after all, they can’t become real, can they?" Princess Consort Yi said.

If it comes to that, the impostor is still fake. Can’t they see that? Such tricks might deceive fools, but here...

But the key issue is, even if they know Sui Zimo and Suyang played a trick regarding Yin Baiqing, neither they nor the emperor can utter a word about it.

How could they, when Yin Baiqing has already left Prince Yi’s Mansion and has been bestowed to Suyang?

And on the emperor’s side, how could he question Suyang about a person who has already become his son, even if the real has been switched for a fake?

He has already given him to Suyang; there’s not much else the emperor can do!

"What can we do about this? We may have been able to think of a way to get Wu’er back from the National Teacher’s abode, but now that he’s in Prince Mo’s Mansion, I’m afraid you and I don’t have the power to bring him back."

Grinding her teeth, she spoke bitterly.

Hearing this, Prince Yi took a deep breath, also without any solution.

"I’ve sent people to find out. When Wu’er was in the National Teacher’s abode, wasn’t he always causing a ruckus? But the news from Prince Mo’s Mansion is silent. I fear that Wu’er has already been taken elsewhere by Sui Zimo, not within Prince Mo’s Mansion at all."

"Tch!"

Princess Consort Yi clicked her tongue softly.

"This Prince Mo, Wu’er belongs to Prince Yi’s Mansion. Why is he meddling so much and took Wu’er away? What right does he have?"

If we take a step back, even if Sui Zimo took Yin Baiqing away, he didn’t return him to Prince Yi’s Mansion. What kind of game is he playing, and what is he scheming?

"This... is probably because..."

Prince Yi clenched his teeth, unable to finish his sentence, taking a deep breath instead.

"Probably because of what?" Princess Consort Yi immediately asked.

"Probably because the things we did before... went too far and aroused Sui Zimo’s suspicion," Prince Yi replied.

"Suspicion? What does he suspect?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Yi was puzzled.

What could Sui Zimo possibly suspect? That the poison that struck her wasn’t ordained by the emperor? But that poison really was meant by the emperor to kill her and silence her, and they hadn’t added fuel to the fire. Why wouldn’t he believe?

"My lord..."

"I’m afraid Sui Zimo has never believed a word from either of us from the very start." The words that Princess Consort Yi was about to say were cut short upon hearing what Prince Yi had said, leading to her drawing in a sharp breath.

"What are you saying, my lord? You’re saying that Sui Zimo... has never believed us?"

She couldn’t help but swallow, feeling that her husband’s words were all too likely.
