Chapter 1308: Chapter 1308: That’s definitely not me, it’s a pig!

"Ah, Brother Molian, what if I just directly administered a dose of poison and took all those people down? Do you think they would lay everything out for us?"

She suddenly asked.

Zimo: "..."

Looking at the mischievous expression on the young girl’s face, it seemed as if she really could do such a thing.

"Do you think that would suffice?" he countered.

Hearing this, Lin Caisang shook her head.

"No, even if they all died, we still wouldn’t be able to learn what we want to know."

The key didn’t lie with the emperor or the empress dowager and those few, but with Princess Consort Yi—of course, she was referring to the person behind Princess Consort Yi.

Since Princess Consort Yi had been sent to Wei State, she must be unswervingly loyal to that person, but that didn’t necessarily mean she knew everything. If she were truly competent, she wouldn’t have been sent to Wei State.

"We’ll have to keep grinding away at them like this. There will come a time when we’ll wear them down. I’ve had my fill, so I’ll study the antidote for a bit. That thing is really..."

"Eat and then sleep!"

Before she could finish, Zimo cut her off.

The hour of the rat had already passed, and this girl was still not thinking of sleep, actually wanting to study the antidote?

How could he not know that the ’bit’ she mentioned would definitely keep her awake until dawn? Since his dear wife didn’t take care of herself, he was left with no choice but to care for her.

Lin Caisang: "..."

She didn’t say she wouldn’t sleep. What was with Brother Molian’s combative expression?

"Brother Molian, not to say it’s you, but ’eating and then sleeping’ definitely doesn’t describe me; it describes a pig!" she said weakly.

Zimo: "!!!"

What could he say to that?

"Then we won’t go out at night anymore."

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang was speechless.

They were sneaking into the royal palace; did he expect them to go in broad daylight? That’d be asking for trouble. Even the most skilled individuals couldn’t just waltz out of the royal palace unscathed in daylight.

"Fine, from now on, we’ll go out during the day," she said.

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, the doors of Prince Mo’s Mansion were knocked upon by a palace eunuch bearing an imperial edict.

However, when the eunuch heard from Zhe Jue, who came out from the mansion, that the female physician had already left, he was stunned and quite upset.

In his heart, it was clear as day. How could Miss Lin have left just like that, and so conveniently, too?

He was sure she knew the emperor would send him with the edict and purposefully said that. He guessed Miss Lin was likely somewhere in Prince Mo’s Mansion, sound asleep with her head covered this very moment!

Yet, he was just an eunuch with an edict and couldn’t really do anything about it.

"Guard Zhe Jue, you see, someone ought to receive the imperial edict, yes?" he said somewhat helplessly, looking at Zhe Jue.

"Eunuch, as a mere guard, it’s not my place to receive the holy decree on Miss Lin’s behalf, is it? Miss Lin left less than an hour ago. Perhaps, if you hurry, you may still catch up with her," Zhe Jue said with a nonchalant air.

What now, he wanted him to take the imperial edict and then go look for her?

Such a fine task was not something he would take on. Let the one who’s in a hurry find her instead!

"This..."

The eunuch with the edict opened his mouth but didn’t really know what to say.

"Guard Zhe Jue, could I trouble you to tell me where exactly Miss Lin went? It would make it easier for me to look for her," he asked.
