Chapter 1299: Chapter 1299 The Emperor is Ill

"Your Majesty, the ’Fifth Young Master’ from Prince Yi’s Mansion has truly gone missing," Eunuch Gui repeated.

"Nonsense!"

The Emperor roared and flung Eunuch Gui far away.

"With so many people in Prince Yi’s Mansion, what are they good for if they can’t even keep an eye on one small thing? Summon Prince Yi to the palace immediately!"

Everyone else might be dispensable, but that small thing was the only one who could control Suyang. How could it possibly go missing? How could it vanish without a trace?

"Yes, this servant will go at once." Eunuch Gui rolled on the ground and, as soon as he steadied himself, acknowledged the command and left.

"Sui Zimo, you truly have some nerve!"

The Emperor watched as Eunuch Gui departed and angrily raised his hand, striking the column beside him with force.

...

"What’s happened now?"

In a room, Lin Caisang lifted her head to look at Zhen Wu who had just come in from outside.

"My lord, Miss Lin, the Emperor has fallen ill," Zhen Wu informed them.

However, his tone was as calm as ever, as if he was merely stating that the Emperor had enjoyed a meal in the palace.

"Fallen ill?"

Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows and looked at Sui Zimo.

But the news sounded as if it was expected.

The Emperor had taken quite the fall, initially planning to use Yin Baiqing to check Princess Consort Yi, but instead ended up losing Yin Baiqing altogether.

"Oh."

She responded lightly, lowered her head, and continued to arrange her medicinal herbs.

"Miss Lin, are you not shocked?" Zhen Wu asked, observing her indifferent manner.

"What’s there to be shocked about?"

Lin Caisang chuckled lightly, clearly not taking his words to heart.

"Zhen Wu, instead of worrying about what you shouldn’t, you might as well worry about your lord," she advised.

"Ah?"

Hearing her words, Zhen Wu was startled and seemed not to grasp the meaning behind them.

But he soon understood.

Having suffered such a loss at the hands of his lord, how could the Emperor not seek retribution? It seemed likely that the Emperor would set trap after trap for Prince Yi in the coming days.

"Then this subordinate shall..."

"Zhen Wu, tell everyone in the mansion that Sang’er was poisoned during her alchemy and I’ve ordered her to be taken home to recuperate," Sui Zimo interrupted before Zhen Wu could say anything further, giving his instructions.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang merely glanced up at Sui Zimo.

Clever indeed, playing the disappearance card so that there wouldn’t even be a trace to find, rendering it impossible to summon her to the palace, right?

"Does this mean, my lord, that the Emperor intends to summon Miss Lin to the palace?" Zhen Wu quickly caught the implication in his lord’s words, cursing the Emperor countless times in his mind!

"Yes, my lord, I will go handle it at once."

Having said that, he took his leave.

"Truthfully, I am quite curious to visit the palace," Lin Caisang said, looking up at Sui Zimo after Zhen Wu had left.

Although she had never met those two in the palace, just hearing about them was enough to fill her with ’admiration.’ It was a pity that she had no chance to meet them!

"Wanting to meet them is easy, I can take you to the palace to see for yourself," Sui Zimo stood up from his chair.

At that, Lin Caisang’s eyebrows flicked upward slightly.

Was she to be a thief in the night, sneaking into the palace for a look around?

"Wouldn’t that be somewhat inappropriate? It is the palace we’re talking about, not just any ordinary place," she asked Sui Zimo hesitantly.
