Chapter 1339: Chapter 1339: Position in Sui Zimo’s Heart

"Go and see? Try going into Sui Zimo’s villa and see for yourself, whether you come out standing or lying down?"

Did he think Sui Zimo’s villa was so easy to enter? Could Sui Zimo have taken root in Shaohua City so quickly if he were an ordinary person?

Although he wanted to kill Sui Zimo, he also had to coax his mother into helping him. If that wouldn’t work, he himself didn’t dare to rashly make a move against Sui Zimo, for fear of bringing disaster upon himself.

"This servant misspoke." The guard immediately lowered his head and said.

"Go, return to the mansion and make arrangements, I want to stay a few more days on Leyang Lake," Sui Zijin instructed the guard.

He also wanted to see, the woman who could come out with Sui Zimo himself to enjoy the blossoms, what kind of woman was she, or rather, was this a new ploy by Sui Zimo to infuriate the Emperor?

"Yes, Prince, this servant will return immediately," the guard responded and then left.

...

The next day.

After waiting all night and not seeing the return of her dispatched men, Princess Consort Yi was nearly driven mad with anxiety in her own courtyard.

She was even more aware that the plan to capture the woman by Sui Zimo’s side had failed completely.

"This Sui Zimo, how unexpectedly difficult to deal with – what kind of person does our master actually wish to foster?" She just couldn’t understand. Watching Sui Zimo grow stronger and stronger, why did the master show no sense of crisis at all?

Could it be that watching Sui Zimo step by step become more powerful was exactly what the master wanted to happen?

"Could the master not have received my message?"

Or maybe the master simply didn’t know what Sui Zimo’s situation here truly was, still thinking Sui Zimo was someone he could push around at will?

"Princess, I heard that you sent people out again last night?"

Just as Princess Consort Yi’s face was full of urgency, suddenly she heard Prince Yi’s voice.

She was greatly startled and looked up to see Prince Yi striding towards her, forcing herself to show an ugly smile.

"This consort merely sent people to inquire about the condition of that lady, nothing more," she said.

"Really just to inquire?" Prince Yi frowned.

He had been with this woman for so many years, how could he not know her true nature?

"Were you thinking of moving against Sui Zimo again? Were those people you sent out to kill Sui Zimo, weren’t they?"

At his questioning, Princess Consort Yi’s face turned pale.

And this pallor, caught squarely by Prince Yi, naturally confirmed his suspicions, making him believe that his princess had indeed sent people to silence Sui Zimo.

"You really think Sui Zimo is so easy to kill? If it were as simple as you think it is, Sui Zimo would have died a hundred times over. Would there even be your turn to send someone?"

"Prince, I did not," Princess Consort Yi hurriedly pleaded innocence upon hearing his words.

"Did not?"

Prince Yi looked at her skeptically.

"If not, then where did you send those guards? Why have they not returned all night?"

"I..."

Princess Consort Yi opened her mouth but said nothing.

She couldn’t simply say wait a bit longer and those she had dispatched would return.

Because she knew all too well that most likely they were never coming back, having been silenced by Sui Zimo.

"Prince, this consort only wanted to use the lady by Sui Zimo’s side to exchange for Wu’er. Think about it, Sui Zimo still brings that lady to enjoy the blossoms despite the perilous circumstances, which shows just how important that lady is in Sui Zimo’s heart."
