Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302: Look Down Yourself

"Even if the Empress Dowager had such intentions, those capable people by her side would have advised her somewhat; hence, Princess Consort Lian has not suffered too much to date, later even being forcefully suppressed by the Empress Dowager herself."

Until now, His Majesty had rarely visited the Empress’s palace, a result he had not anticipated before.

He had indeed underestimated the Empress Dowager’s ability, managing to suppress the Empress to such a degree. Recently, not even an envoy had been sent to Princess Consort Lian’s residence, let alone summoning Princess Consort Lian to the main palace.

...

"This doesn’t seem like the palace of the Empress, does it?"

Gazing upon the brightly lit palace hall below her eyes, Lin Caisang voiced her confusion.

"Princess Consort Lian’s palace,"

Sui Zimo replied.

"Princess Consort Lian?"

Lin Caisang knitted her brows, turning her gaze toward Sui Zimo.

"Has Princess Consort Lian been causing trouble again recently? Does she want to kill you, or does she want to get rid of His Majesty and elevate her own son?"

Her lips curled into a mischievous grin as she spoke out loud, asking him.

Now was indeed a good time. With Prince Lin deposed, Princess Consort Lian must think young ’son’ Sui Zimo hadn’t discovered she wasn’t his birth mother, and would surely consider using Sui Zimo to propel her own son to the throne!

"She hasn’t got such ability yet," Sui Zimo said with a light chuckle.

Princess Consort Lian certainly had ambitions, but did she possess the capability? The state affairs of Wei State were not decided solely by His Majesty; there was also the Empress Dowager firmly seated in the inner palace!

Even if His Majesty passed away, which prince could ascend to the throne as the new emperor would also be at the Empress Dowager’s discretion—it wasn’t for a mere consort to decide.

For this reason, the last thing Princess Consort Lian would do at this moment was to oppose His Majesty.

"Then why have you brought me here? There isn’t much of a spectacle to see," Lin Caisang said discontentedly, pursing her red lips.

"Just look down for yourself."

Sui Zimo extended his hand, harnessed his inner strength to create suction, and lifted a hole right through the intact roof of the palace, all without making a sound.

Looking down, Lin Caisang saw not only a woman dressed in extravagant clothes but also a young man inside the hall.

"Sui Zijin, why is he here so late at night?"

Sui Zijin had been made King Jin upon reaching adulthood, and with a residence granted to him, he would naturally live there on his own. How could he possibly appear in Princess Consort Lian’s palace at this late hour?

And at this moment, Princess Consort Lian herself didn’t seem to be ill in any way that would require Sui Zijin, her son, to stay and attend to her.

"He certainly has his means to enter this palace," Sui Zimo said calmly.

Just like them, wasn’t it easy for them to enter this tightly guarded imperial palace if they wished?

Of course, Sui Zijin didn’t have such great skill. His only advantage was that he had plenty of silver to bribe a few people within the palace, which naturally made entering the palace no issue at all.

"What are they plotting in secret?" Lin Caisang inquired.

In the hall, Sui Zijin had just arrived not long ago, and it was only now that Princess Consort Lian had come out, and the two had just sat down.

"Mother Consort, why didn’t you keep him here when Sui Zimo entered the palace yesterday?" the moment Sui Zijin sat down, he questioned Princess Consort Lian, his words bearing a hint of reproach.

"Do you think your mother consort wouldn’t want to? Sui Zimo was taken away by the people of the Empress Dowager. Could your mother consort possibly contest the Empress Dowager for a person?" Princess Consort Lian responded with helplessness.

She indeed wanted to meet that stepson of hers. With Prince Lin now stepped on and out of the picture, it was the perfect time for her son to demonstrate his ability in Shaohua City and win the loyalty of the officials.
