Chapter 1303: Chapter 1303: You Don’t Understand!

She thought to herself that as long as she could instruct Sui Zimo with a few words and have him help Jin’er, the matter would certainly succeed.

However, what she hadn’t calculated was that she would not even get a chance to see Sui Zimo!

"Sui Zimo has been back in Shaohua City for so long, Your Highness Mother, when exactly will you be able to see him? The matter here really can’t wait any longer," Sui Zijin said again.

"Prince Lin has finally been demoted, and the Empress is detested by His Imperial Majesty, Mother, we mustn’t give them a chance to catch their breath. If Prince Lin returns to Shaohua City, he will surely retaliate against us mother and son!"

Hearing her son’s words, Princess Consort Lian clenched her teeth too.

She was, of course, crystal clear on this point, needing no reminder from her son.

"Who knows which bastard leaked the news about me conspiring with you against Prince Lin? It’s simply unforgivable!"

"Is there even a need to say it?"

Sui Zijin gave his mother a look as if she were an idiot.

"Who else could it be but Sui Zimo? The Emperor and the Empress Dowager would never do such a thing, and I, too, was born into the royal family. Besides, who else in the vast Shaohua City has the power to rival me?"

"Sui Zimo?"

Princess Consort Lian was somewhat puzzled and bit her lip.

"Could it really be him? Could he have guessed that it was I who poisoned him back then?"

If that were true, then that would explain why Sui Zimo had been back in Shaohua City for so many days, yet she had not been able to see him.

"It must be him,"

Sui Zijin said with utmost certainty.

"Mother, I think that Sui Zimo is even less tolerable than Sui Zilin. Next time you manage to summon him to the palace, just finish him off with a dose of poison!"

"Nonsense!"

Upon hearing his words, Princess Consort Lian immediately shouted.

"Jin’er, what nonsensical talk is this? If Sui Zimo dies, who will help us kill Sui Zilin?"

She had been counting on Sui Zimo to send someone to kill Sui Zilin, which would mean nobody would suspect her and Jin’er. The Empress could find no fault with her either.

And her Jin’er would not have to worry about Sui Zilin returning to claim everything that already belonged to Jin’er.

"Jin’er, listen to me. It’s not yet time to kill Sui Zimo. We need to use him to eliminate those eyesores first! If he dies, who will clear the big obstacles ahead of you?"

She advised Sui Zijin earnestly and with deep conviction.

"Mother, weren’t you always intent on killing Sui Zimo before? How come now..."

Sui Zijin furrowed his brows, looking at Princess Consort Lian.

Wasn’t it his mother who had vocally wanted to kill Sui Zimo before, even colluding with the Emperor to poison him, wishing for Sui Zimo’s early demise? Were all those merely his misperceptions?

"The past is the past, the present is the present; they shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath!" Princess Consort Lian said.

"The former Sui Zimo had no power in Shaohua City and was naturally like an ant, at our mercy. But now it’s different. Sui Zimo has joined forces with Suyang, and his power is not to be underestimated."

"If that’s the case, shouldn’t we be even more eager to kill him? Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!" Sui Zijin said.

"Mother, do you really want his power to grow until we can no longer stand against him, and then regret it when it’s too late? By that time, regret will be useless!"

"You don’t understand!"

Princess Consort Lian shook her head, utterly dismissive of his words.

"Sui Zimo will have your father to deal with him. As long as we shift the blame for killing Sui Zilin and those other thorns in our side onto Sui Zimo, by that time, even if he doesn’t die, he has to die!"
