Chapter 1441: Chapter 1441: The Expression, It’s Okay, Right?

He didn’t wait for the gates of Prince Yi’s Mansion to open; he stuffed the person inside and turned to leave immediately, preventing his subordinates and the prince from even having a chance to follow.

As for that fake, because neither the subordinates nor the prince thought of it at the time, he only stayed within the mansion for a moment and then vanished without a trace. From then on, even if we wanted to find Sui Zimo to demand the person, we had no excuse whatsoever to do so."

"This Sui Zimo!"

The man in black bit his teeth; he truly had underestimated Sui Zimo before. He hadn’t expected that Sui Zimo’s schemes would come one after another like this.

"My lord and I had also sent people to search Prince Mo’s Mansion, but all efforts were in vain, and we were constantly pressured by the emperor. Truly at our wits’ end, we finally sent a message seeking the master’s assistance," he continued.

Princess Consort Yi added.

Upon hearing this, the man in black took a deep breath and clenched his jaw tightly.

"Where is Sui Zimo now?" he asked.

"A few days ago, Sui Zimo took a young lady to his villa outside the city and has not returned since," replied Prince Yi, who had been silent all this time.

The man in black pursed his lips, recalling mentions of Sui Zimo’s whereabouts from the emperor before; it had been said that he was in a villa outside the city.

"You wait here. On this matter, you’ve handled it very poorly. As people of the Illusion Continent, to be unable to deal even with the mere emperor of Wei State—it’s a disgrace to our true selves. Someone will come to take you for punishment soon," he said.

Having said this, he left in a flash.

Only after he had left did Princess Consort Yi collapse to the ground, sitting down with a thud.

"I was scared to death, scared to..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she turned to look at Prince Yi by her side.

"My lord, I didn’t show any flaws just now, did I? My expressions were alright, weren’t they? I wasn’t too nervous, was I?" she asked.

Hearing her words, Prince Yi scoffed.

"Not too bad."

The person opposite them was their master, and even if they weren’t sure he was the true master, they had made a mistake in losing Baiqing.

If they showed no emotion at all, appearing completely indifferent, wouldn’t that directly tell their master that they didn’t care at all about Baiqing’s disappearance?

The more unnatural their expressions were at that moment, the more it seemed that they weren’t lying. This would make the man in black truly believe their words, pinning all the blame on the emperor’s head.

"Remember, what you’ve just said is the true account of events, understand?" he reminded Prince Yi uneasily.

He feared the woman was too faint-hearted; if the man in black questioned her again, she might not repeat the same story, and then they would truly be doomed.

"Under... understood."

Princess Consort Yi nodded, fully aware of the gravity of the situation.

"I... my lord, what did I say just now? Could you go over it with me again?"

She was so nervous before that she had no idea what she had said. Now, she couldn’t remember any of her previous words.

Prince Yi: "..."

This woman was truly like a pig, even pigs were smarter!

He took a deep breath and repeated her words for her once more, instructing her to remember them, not to forget a single word.

...

After leaving Prince Yi’s Mansion, the man in black headed straight to Prince Mo’s Mansion.

Since Sui Zimo was not in his mansion, it was easy for him to go in and take a look around. According to what he knew, the most dangerous place was often the safest.
