Chapter 1311: Chapter 1311: Maybe What?

"My lord, I shall arrange it now," said the servant.

After uttering those words, he turned and left.

"Brother Molian, isn’t Zhe Jue lacking a bit in cunning?" Lin Caisang finally spoke after everyone had left.

This time it was fine, as the matter was not botched, but if it were to happen once or twice more, one couldn’t guarantee when a mistake might occur.

Now, within Prince Mo’s Mansion, every step had to be taken with utmost caution, and no room for error was permitted!

In fact, not only Zhe Jue, but Zhen Wu, Jiang Li, and Jiang Zuo also lacked cunning, clearly unable to keep up with Sui Zimo’s train of thought. If this continued, some matters would become difficult to handle.

"One must learn slowly," Sui Zimo said indifferently.

Where he used to be, he was always the one who made the decisions. Even in the Nine Lotus Hall, it was his dominance that prevailed, with only a few traitors present.

Therefore, Zhe Jue and the others had always acted according to their own minds, never making any mistakes.

Suddenly arriving in Shaohua City, a place fraught with deceit and cunning, it was understandable that he found it difficult to adapt all at once. He needed more room for progress, as did Zhe Jue and the others.

"That is true," Lin Caisang nodded.

The cunning of the people in Shaohua City was so overwhelming that even she felt confounded, let alone Zhe Jue and his group. They indeed needed time to adapt.

"Then from now on, when you give out orders, make them clearer. That way it’s better than giving out your orders and having them understand their way, which might lead to misunderstandings between you," she said.

"Yes," Sui Zimo assented.

"However, we still need to accelerate their training," he added.

"Hmm?" Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow, looking at him in confusion.

But she quickly understood and nodded at him.

"I will go into the Golden Pearl Space later to see if there are any books suitable for them to read. I’ll have Ziyou and Jiang Zuo copy them for their study."

...

In the imperial palace, within the emperor’s sleeping chamber,

Hearing the report from the eunuch who had gone to deliver the decree, the emperor almost fainted from anger once again.

"Your Majesty, the servant has inquired of the eunuch who went to deliver the decree. Although he heard that the female physician had gone to gather herbs, all the servants in Prince Mo’s Mansion are spreading the rumor that Miss Lin, while concocting poison, accidentally poisoned herself," Eunuch Gui spoke softly into the emperor’s ear, smoothing his frustration.

"Previously, the servant had also received news that Prince Mo had someone knock on the city gates overnight, leading a team urgently out of the city. Furthermore, Prince Mo’s Mansion’s physician, Jiang Zuo, was also not in the mansion today. Perhaps..."

"Perhaps what?" the emperor, showing impatience on his face, interrupted Eunuch Gui.

"Such talk, such matters, are only capable of deceiving the lower classes like you. Do you think they can deceive me?" he said.

"Your Majesty is right, this servant is short-sighted," Eunuch Gui quickly apologized, bowing his head.

"Hmph!" The emperor took a deep breath and then let out a heavy snort.

"Sui Zimo, he really is bold, thinking he can thereby put an end to my intention of summoning the physician to the palace? This is nothing but wishful thinking!"

"Then Your Majesty means to..." Eunuch Gui looked at the emperor, cautiously inquiring.

"Draft an edict, summon Prince Mo to the palace," the emperor ordered Eunuch Gui.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch Gui stood up, knelt before the emperor, then got up and walked outside.

Only when he got outside did a smile break out on the corners of his mouth. He walked deftly toward the imperial study to prepare the edict that would summon Prince Mo to the palace.
