Chapter 1446: Chapter 1446: It Really Is Sui Zimo

Princess Consort Lian: "..."

She herself still wanted to know what to do, and they wouldn’t listen to her reasons; they would only blame her for not managing things properly!

"Should we go and inform His Majesty?" Nanny saw her silence and reminded her.

"No need, let’s wait a little longer."

Princess Consort Lian raised her hand, stopping her from saying more.

And she needed to think of other methods. There was always a way to send someone into Prince Mo’s Mansion; if all else failed, she could use the Qin Family’s name to send a few maids to serve Qin Luoyin. She reckoned Sui Zimo wouldn’t refuse.

"Your Highness, it’s all right to discuss other matters, but as for the Emperor, he must have received the news as well. If you don’t go now, it’s just..." Nanny’s face looked somewhat ugly as she looked at Princess Consort Lian and reminded her again.

These people had been sent back. Could it be that the Emperor hadn’t received the message?

In Shaohua City, who had faster news than the Emperor? He had many eyes and ears.

"Hiss!"

Princess Consort Lian took in a sharp breath of cold air.

It seemed she had no choice but to visit the imperial study.

"Nanny has reminded me properly. I should indeed report to His Majesty."

If she didn’t go now, and the Emperor blamed her later, she would have to face serious consequences.

...

"Sent back?"

At the Emperor’s side, news had indeed arrived swiftly.

"Qin Luoyin too, was she sent back?" he asked.

"Miss Qin is still at Prince Mo’s Mansion. After all, it was Your Majesty who personally issued the royal decree. Presumably, Prince Mo wouldn’t dare to disobey and could only keep Miss Qin within the mansion," replied Eunuch Gui.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor evidently breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as someone remained inside Prince Mo’s Mansion, it was good, and his royal decree would not have been in vain.

But still, he doubted. Was Sui Zimo the kind of person who would obey his decree? Moreover, the child in Qin Luoyin’s belly was not Sui Zimo’s; even an outsider like him could figure it out, so how could Sui Zimo not understand?

What Sui Zimo meant by keeping Qin Luoyin in his mansion was still a mystery.

"Eunuch Gui, what do you reckon is the meaning of Sui Zimo keeping Qin Luoyin in his mansion, hmm?" He looked up and asked Eunuch Gui.

"This..."

Eunuch Gui clearly hadn’t expected the Emperor to ask him such a question, and he hesitated.

After a long while, he spoke, having thought over it, "Perhaps the child in Miss Qin’s belly is originally Prince Mo’s."

He felt this was the most reasonable explanation he could give.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Eunuch Gui’s words, the Emperor’s eyebrows twitched.

Yes, how had he not considered that the child in Qin Luoyin’s belly might truly be Sui Zimo’s?

If that were true, would he not have foolishly handed over a weapon to control Sui Zimo back to him, and willingly at that?

"Summon Princess Consort Lian to see me."

He wanted to clarify whether the child in Qin Luoyin’s belly was indeed Sui Zimo’s.

"Yes, this servant obeys," responded Eunuch Gui and withdrew.

Shortly thereafter, he ushered Princess Consort Lian in; the reason was simple: as soon as he had left the imperial study, he saw Princess Consort Lian coming with her maidens and nanny, so he immediately invited her in.

"Your Majesty, Her Highness Princess Consort Lian has arrived."

Hearing this, the corners of the Emperor’s mouth held a half-mocking smile.

She had come quickly; was she here to admit fault?

Just yesterday, she was boasting to his face about placing several people in Prince Mo’s Mansion, and today they have all been sent back.

"Come in."

He said indifferently.
