Chapter 1327: Chapter 1327: Big Trouble is Coming

"How is this possible?"

Princess Consort Yi naturally wouldn’t believe Prince Yi’s explanation.

Even if we take a step back, even if Sui Zimo was bluffing her, what if what Sui Zimo said was true?

If there was even a sliver of a chance it was true, she couldn’t afford to take that risk.

"Prince, do you still not understand how terrifying the Master is? If he finds out that Sui Zimo knows Wu’er’s identity, we are both done for—truly finished!"

The Master would definitely kill them, certainly.

"What if Sui Zimo also learns his own true identity from Wu’er? Then we... Maybe we should run away, stop staying here?"

As she spoke, she changed her mind, feeling that it was truly too unsafe to stay here any longer. They must find a safer place to live, somewhere even her Master couldn’t find!

Prince Yi: "..."

He was now certain that his Princess Consort had been driven mad by Sui Zimo, hadn’t she?

Perhaps what she just mentioned about Sui Zimo knowing Yin Baiqing’s identity was also concocted by her own imagination. She was just scared of her Master’s punishment.

"Princess Consort, you’re really too anxious, try to relax. Sui Zimo won’t know anything. Understand?"

"What’s there to understand?! Prince, Sui Zimo has admitted it himself! He already knows Wu’er’s identity, it’s true, really true!" Princess Consort Yi yelled at Prince Yi.

"What are you yelling for?!"

Prince Yi lost his temper as well, raising his voice in response to hers.

The identity of Yin Baiqing, even within Prince Yi’s Mansion, was known by very few. Was she trying to make it known to others?

"With the way you’re behaving now, there’s no need for Sui Zimo to learn anything from Wu’er. He could simply get Wu’er’s real identity straight from you! Princess Consort, think carefully about what you’re doing!"

Saying this, he flung his sleeves, ready to leave.

But, how could Princess Consort Yi let Prince Yi leave so easily? She promptly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Prince, I was panicking just now, but Sui Zimo must have learned something from Wu’er. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken so confidently about Wu’er’s matter. Prince, you have to believe me, Sui Zimo he..."

"Enough!"

Prince Yi shook off her hand and glared at her with cold eyes.

"No matter what you say now, it’s useless. Sui Zimo will never hand the person over to us, and the Emperor won’t be able to make Sui Zimo surrender the person either. We can only wait for the Master to send someone!"

"Is there really no other way?" Princess Consort Yi bit her lip and asked.

"Can’t we plead with Sui Zimo for mercy? Is it not possible to beg him to return Wu’er to us?"

"Princess Consort, why don’t you understand?" Prince Yi heaved a deep sigh.

At this point, how could Sui Zimo possibly return the person to them? Unless he went mad, why would he do such a thing?

"I told you long ago not to reveal your relationship with Sui Zimo. Otherwise, it would lead to serious trouble. But you wouldn’t listen. In your eagerness to get Wu’er back from the National Teacher’s residence, you went ahead and..."

As he spoke, he sighed softly again, shaking his head.

"Now with all the suspicions in Sui Zimo’s mind, he can connect all the dots. If he learns anything more from Wu’er’s mouth... no, he doesn’t even need to learn anything from Wu’er now. On mere speculation, he can link you and Wu’er. Do you understand?!"
