Chapter 1674: Chapter 1674: The Empress, Ms. Nalan!

"You say this is the emperor’s decree?"

He asked the servant.

"Yes."

The servant replied.

"This word came from someone in Her Majesty the Empress’s palace, but according to what he said, it was the Emperor himself who instructed Her Majesty to do so. Even Her Highness Princess Consort Lian was directly handed over to Her Majesty the Empress before being taken to the cold palace."

"Hiss... huff!"

Sui Zijin sucked in a breath, then exhaled heavily.

He could almost be certain that this was indeed revenge from Her Majesty the Empress, for she must have known it was he who caused her son to kill Suri and got sent to the distant lands of Sui Commandery.

But he never anticipated that Her Majesty the Empress would have such deep schemes, even able to use the emperor to strike his own mother down into the cold palace directly!

If it were just about disposing of Zimo’s old possessions, before they were retrieved, the emperor at most would have only punished his mother with a reprimand, so how could she be easily cast into the cold palace?

He simply could not believe it wasn’t Her Majesty the Empress’s doing behind the scenes!

"You may leave."

He waved his hand at the servant, signaling him to go away.

"My lord, do we... not save Her Highness Princess Consort Lian?" The servant looked at him cautiously and asked.

"As long as the green hills last, there will be wood to burn! Leave now!"

Sui Zijin spoke to the servant and then closed his eyes.

The emperor was in a furious rage at this moment. Anything he said would be useless, and might even add fuel to the fire under the Empress’s instigation!

He needed to stay calm and protect himself first!

Only if he remained safe and sound could he find a way to plead for his mother.

If he couldn’t even ensure his own safety, what rescue could there be, to end up imprisoned within his own residence and unable to leave?

Besides, he needed to think, think about how he could strike back fiercely at Her Majesty the Empress.

Otherwise, she might think that he, the mighty Prince Jin, is easy to bully, right?

If he could make Sui Zilin end up in such a dire situation, then he could also make Her Majesty the Empress taste the bitterness of being thrown into the cold palace!

The revenge for his mother, he would surely repay tenfold, a hundredfold, leaving the Empress no way to escape the consequences!

"Empress, Ms. Nalan!"

...

Illusion Continent, Yue Family.

After traveling continuously for more than ten days, Lin Chushui, following Yue Chong and Luo Mianyi, finally arrived at the Yue Family.

Once Luo Yanyi returned to the Yue Clan, she immediately left Lin Chushui behind, excusing herself to visit her injured son, and departed.

Yue Chong was called away by several elders to handle important family affairs before Luo Mianyi.

"Eldest Young Master, please come this way."

An attendant, along with Lin Chushui carrying his bundle, reached a courtyard.

"This is the courtyard arranged for you by Madam, from now on you will live here. Also, these maids and servants have all been carefully selected by Madam," the attendant, with his clever mouth, managed to earn the position of steward within the Yue Clan.

"Good."

Lin Chushui nodded, not contesting anything that the steward said.

But he was very clear in his heart that since Luo Mianyi returned to the Yue Clan, she hadn’t even glanced at him once; how could she remember to arrange maids and servants for him?

It must have been the steward’s own doing.

"Eldest Young Master, after such a long journey, let me take you to your room to rest. I’ll come to fetch you when it’s time for dinner."

The steward showed Lin Chushui to his room, then left on his own.

Lin Caisang looked at the furnishings in the room, then placed his bundle on the table.

Stretching out his hand, he felt the temperature of the teapot on the table, which was still warm. He poured himself a cup of water into the teacup, intending to take a sip.
