Chapter 1488: Chapter 1488: He’s Also Desperate!

...

Zhen Wu’s efficiency was always high.

Soon enough, the emperor in the Imperial Study heard this piece of news, saying that the Elder Princess of Liang Kingdom had a pair of children.

It was just unfortunate that although they were of royal descent, they had been raised in the mountains and were completely illiterate—people who didn’t recognize a single common character. They had just been found by the people from the Princess’ Mansion and brought back to Jianan City.

Upon hearing this news, the emperor’s heart was filled with joy, which showed plainly on his face.

"Gui, send someone to inquire immediately—does the Emperor of Liang place any importance on the Elder Princess’s twins?" he instructed Eunuch Gui.

"Ah?"

Eunuch Cun was startled by the order, seemingly puzzled as if he hadn’t quite grasped it, but after a long while, he finally understood and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, those are the children of the Elder Princess of Liang Kingdom. What does the Emperor of Liang have to do with them?"

"If I tell you to inquire, just do it; what’s the use of all these questions?" The emperor’s face hardened, and he huffed coldly upon hearing Eunuch Cun’s doubt.

Of course, it was of great relevance. If the Emperor of Liang did not like the Elder Princess’s children, then he would have an opportunity to exploit. He could simply send the female medical practitioner beside Sui Zimo over there.

And then take that worthless Commandery Princess from the Princess’ Mansion and stuff her into Prince Mo’s Mansion!

Naturally, if this proposal came from the Emperor of Liang himself, it would be even better.

"Yes, this servant will command someone to investigate immediately."

Eunuch Gui didn’t ask any further. After responding, he turned and left straightaway.

...

Waiting was an excruciating affair, and these past few days were probably the most difficult ones in Sui Zimo’s life.

The atmosphere in Prince Mo’s Mansion was so tense that nobody dared to approach Sui Zimo, their Prince Mo— not even Zhe Jue and the others had the guts to get too close to their lord for fear that they might inadvertently end up being used as a ball for decapitation practice.

Among them all, Jiang Zuo was perhaps the most miserable.

He was a royal physician, the only one in Prince Mo’s Mansion who, even if he wished to keep his distance from their lord, couldn’t.

And to make matters worse, because of the issue with Lin Caisang a few days ago, he had been quietly blacklisted by their lord, making his days even more difficult.

"My lord, I... uh."

It was Zhe Jue who had sent him to bring a message to their lord.

But before he could speak, he was so frightened by the bleak look in their lord’s eyes that he shuddered all over.

"Speak."

Sui Zimo simply breathed out a word to him.

Yet, facing him directly, Jiang Zuo felt as if thousands of darts were flying towards him, causing a cold sweat to break out on his back.

"Zhe Jue has sent word. He spotted that person in the Shuiyin Mountain Range and is currently in pursuit," Jiang Zuo swallowed hard and finally managed to say what he intended.

Inwardly, he couldn’t help but wonder, why did he have to practice medicine in his life?

Why not learn something else? He wouldn’t have to be kept at his lord’s side in such dangerous times, enduring the torment of those cold eyes!

Although he had always thought there was nothing wrong with practicing medicine—in fact, being at their lord’s side had its unique privilege.

But then...

Their main mother appeared, dwarfing his meager medical skills as if they were nothing but grains of sand on a beach, leaving him utterly unable to rise again.

What could he do? He was also quite desperate!

"Shuiyin Mountain?"

Sui Zimo’s eyes darkened as he glanced at Jiang Zuo.

Shuiyin Mountain was quite a distance away from Shaohua City. Even if that person was from Illusion Continent, they wouldn’t go to Shuiyin Mountain, would they?
