Chapter 1306: Chapter 1306: A Person Like Sui Zimo

But when you look at Father Emperor and Mother Consort, they don’t see it that way.

They still believe that everything is under their control, that they can kill whoever they want to kill with ease!

But the question is Sui Zimo, can they really kill him whenever they wish?

Even now, to eliminate Sui Zimo would require some effort, not to mention how much more difficult it would be in the future.

"You need not worry about this matter, Jin’er," Princess Consort Lian said with a light chuckle.

She reached out to pick up the teacup on the table, sipped it lightly, and slowly placed the cup back down before she looked at her son again.

"As the saying goes, ’When a sovereign wishes for his vassal’s death, the vassal has no choice but to die.’ Sui Zimo, no matter how capable he is, is but a subject. If the Emperor wishes to deal with him, he can simply pin a crime on him, and Sui Zimo will have nowhere to be buried," she explained.

Sui Zijin: "..."

If it were really so simple, would Father Emperor be made sick by Sui Zimo?

Don’t think I don’t know, it is precisely because of Sui Zimo that the child at the National Teacher’s mansion was taken away, causing Father Emperor’s health to suffer this time.

"Mother Consort, have you found out who exactly that Fifth Young Master from Prince Yi’s Mansion, the one Father Emperor gave to Suyang, really is?" he asked.

Let’s not talk about killing Sui Zimo for now; I can find a way for that myself.

But as for why Father Emperor is causing such a commotion over this Fifth Young Master from Prince Yi’s Mansion, going as far as risking his own reputation, this person must be more than meets the eye!

Leaving other things aside, this so-called Fifth Young Master is certainly not just some ordinary child from Prince Yi’s Mansion.

"I truly haven’t been able to find out anything about this," she said.

Speaking of this matter, Princess Consort Lian nearly ground her teeth to bits.

"None of the people we have placed near the Emperor are of any use; they can’t even gather any information. The old man died last time and none of our people were able to take his place.

Instead, a useless eunuch has gained favor and become a trusted person by the Emperor’s side, it’s utterly infuriating!"

As she spoke of this, she was filled with regret. If only she had known...

But there was no point in ’if only.’ Whoever the Emperor wishes to appoint is his prerogative, and it is not for her to say, especially when it comes to someone who serves him so closely!

"Have you made any effort regarding Eunuch Gui?"

"Eunuch Gui is a tough one to deal with, my child. I’ve tried to interact with him several times, but he has always sent me away. It seems he is a cautious person; this matter is not easy," Sui Zijin said, shaking his head.

If Eunuch Gui were a piece of cake to bribe, I’d be wary of doing it. What if someone offers him a higher price afterwards, and he switches allegiances, betraying everything I’ve told him? That would be the end of me, wouldn’t it?

"However, it’s good that it’s not easy. It’s probably even harder for Sui Zimo to try to bribe Eunuch Gui," he mused.

We still have a few people at the Emperor’s side, after all, even if they aren’t his trusted aides; they still count for something.

But Sui Zimo doesn’t have anyone of use on his side; that much I am confident about.

"Mother Consort, please tell me more about this Fifth Young Master from Prince Yi’s Mansion. Are you truly unable to gather any news about him?" he asked again.

"If we’re counting on simply gathering information, we will definitely not find out anything," Princess Consort Lian shook her head.

But as soon as she finished speaking and saw Sui Zijin about to interject, she raised her hand to signal him to hold off on speaking and listen to her finish.

"This Fifth Young Master, who has gained such attention from the Emperor, is certainly no mere child from Prince Yi’s Mansion; that much is clear. At the very least, he is like Sui Zimo; that is not difficult to guess.
