Chapter 1623: Chapter 1623: It’s Sui Zimo’s Territory

"Your Highness, should we... create some... chaos at Prince Mo’s Mansion?"

Standing by her side, an eunuch looked at Princess Consort Lian with her ferocious demeanor and, in an attempt to suck up, stepped forward and suggested.

"Scram!"

Princess Consort Lian turned around and glared at him fiercely.

Create what chaos? She couldn’t even plant a single person inside Zimo’s mansion, so how could she create chaos?

Moreover, as Zimo’s nominal mother, she couldn’t even see her own ’son’. How was she supposed to create any chaos?

And wasn’t the emperor’s intention just now clear enough?

It was to tell her to stay in line and not provoke Zimo, that harbinger of doom!

She truly couldn’t understand. Even if Zimo wasn’t really born under the calamitous lone star, why did this bastard seem to bring misfortune wherever he went?

"Humph!"

She let out a heavy sigh.

She really had no way to deal with Zimo and could only stay put for the time being, avoiding any provocation of him.

...

In Prince Zijin’s mansion.

Due to the poisoning incident, Zijin had suffered quite enough.

Even though he was unconscious most of the time, there were moments when he was lucid, and during those times, he seriously contemplated death as a release.

And all of this was brought upon him by Zimo.

"Heh, asking this prince to move to Prince Mo’s Mansion?"

Looking at the nanny who had just come from the palace and listening to her words, Zijin found it hard to believe, as if it were a preposterous fantasy.

"Does mother want to make sure the poison this prince has been afflicted with isn’t potent enough, wishing for this prince to suffer even stronger poisons within Prince Mo’s Mansion?"

"This..."

The nanny, having listened to Zijin’s words, also showed complete embarrassment.

"Prince Zijin, I did try to advise Her Highness Princess Consort Lian, but she... wouldn’t listen. She thinks that if you were to enter Prince Mo’s Mansion, Prince Mo would surely take good care of you, since you’re being sent there overtly. Prince Mo wouldn’t dare do anything to you."

She swallowed hard as she spoke.

Even as she said it, she felt very uneasy herself.

That was Prince Mo’s Mansion, after all. Even if Prince Zijin could come out alive after being sent there, he would likely be flayed alive.

And to only be flayed would be fortunate. Prince Mo was notorious for his sinister nature—who knew what vile things he might do to Prince Zijin behind closed doors?

"Tsk."

Zijin couldn’t help but let out a scoff upon hearing her words.

Would Zimo really not dare to harm him?

This was nothing short of a huge joke. Zimo was someone who had confronted even the emperor directly and had taken covert action not just once or twice.

Moreover, he would soon be sent to Prince Mo’s Mansion, Zimo’s territory.

Once there, wouldn’t he, Zijin, be at the mercy of Zimo?

"Mother is truly considering my best interests."

He said this in a quiet tone, but his voice was heavy with unmistakable sarcasm.

The nanny had been at Princess Consort Lian’s side for years, skilled in reading between the lines. How could she possibly fail to grasp the meaning in Zijin’s words?

"Prince Zijin, please don’t blame Her Highness. Though she may not have thought things through, she sincerely has your best interests at heart. She thinks that with a female physician in Prince Mo’s Mansion, the poison in your body could be completely cured," she quickly tried to explain.

But what Princess Consort Lian had not considered was that, given her irreconcilable relationship with Zimo, why on earth would Zimo bother to detoxify Zijin?
