Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Yes, Just Do It That Way

"What... what can we do?"

The Princess Consort Yi truly felt like dying at this moment.

She had originally intended to use Sui Zimo to bring Wu’er back from the National Teacher’s residence, but Sui Zimo was too shrewd. He did manage to get the person out, but not to deliver him back to Prince Yi’s Mansion.

"Maybe... maybe we could..."

"Don’t even think about running away!"

Prince Yi sharply interrupted her.

"Have you forgotten the poison in your own body? Without the antidote, how many years can you live? You won’t even survive a year, so where could we possibly escape to?"

In fact, he was also one of those who had been ensnared by the Princess Consort Yi. Had it not been for the Princess Consort Yi obeying her master’s orders and poisoning him, how could he, a noble prince of Wei State, address others as his ’master’?

"I..."

The Princess Consort Yi opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word.

Yes, where could she escape to? The master was such a ruthless person, how could he possibly let her escape?

"Then what should we do, Your Highness? Please think of something."

"What can I possibly do?" Prince Yi retorted.

He truly had no solution at the moment. Yin Baiqing was in Sui Zimo’s hands, and retrieving him seemed more difficult than reaching the heavens.

"What you need to do now is to calm down and think about how to push all the blame for this matter onto the Emperor; otherwise, our end is not far off,"

he said.

"Push... push the blame onto the Emperor?"

The Princess Consort Yi repeated his words, and in the next second, a light dawned upon her.

Right, why didn’t she think of that? This ordeal was the Emperor’s fault to begin with. If he hadn’t tried to take Yin Baiqing for himself, making her reluctant to act, it wouldn’t have escalated to this.

"Let me think, let me ponder this properly."

Perhaps, she could shift all the rumors about herself onto the Emperor, claiming it was the Emperor who had people leak them!

After all, the people sent by their master wouldn’t be able to investigate everything thoroughly. They would surely come to her for information first, and they would believe whatever she told them, wouldn’t they?

"Yes, we’ll do it that way. We’ll push everything onto the Emperor’s head!"

Listening to the Princess Consort Yi’s words, Prince Yi rolled his eyes inwardly. He really had no way to deal with this woman.

"Forget it, forget it."

He’d better discuss the matter thoroughly with the Princess Consort.

It was a problem for both of them, after all. If something went wrong, it was the two of them who would die, not just the Princess Consort Yi.

"Come here, we need to discuss this thoroughly. We must scrutinize the affair closely."

"Yes, yes."

The Princess Consort Yi nodded emphatically.

"Then... about Wu’er, do we keep searching for him?" she asked softly.

"Of course, we must search. How can we not?" Prince Yi replied immediately.

If they stopped looking for him, when the master dispatched people to check, how would they explain themselves? Should they let the Emperor deal with finding Yin Baiqing all by himself?

Wouldn’t the master’s people kill them on the spot just for that?

He didn’t want to take that risk.

"We must continue the search. In the coming days, we have to keep a close watch in Shaohua City, around National Teacher Suyang, and at Prince Mo’s Mansion. We absolutely cannot allow Prince Mo’s Mansion another chance to send Wu’er away!"

He instructed the Princess Consort Yi.
