Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691: Don’t You Understand Yet?

"You—"

Upon hearing his words, the emperor nearly choked on his own fury.

What made that little thing Yin Baiqing worthy of him sending someone to rescue? The Prince Mo’s Mansion was not a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could enter.

Even his own guards, within the grounds of Prince Mo’s Mansion, would likely gain no advantage.

Let alone they had to search for someone, which could only be done covertly, and within the mansion, they would gain no advantage at all.

"What do you take me for, someone whom your petty Prince Yi’s Mansion can exploit at will? Hm?"

He questioned Prince Yi coldly.

"Your Majesty misunderstands, this was not my intention,"

Prince Yi replied indifferently, not at all intimidated by the emperor’s words.

"After all, Wu’er was lost under Your Majesty’s watch. Master has already asked about it many times and hopes that we can find Wu’er. I truly have no other option but to seek Your Majesty’s help, hoping you can dispatch someone to Prince Mo’s Mansion to rescue Wu’er. How does that sound? It would allow us to give Master an explanation."

Upon hearing this, the emperor took a deep breath, glaring at Prince Yi, wishing he could flay him alive!

Was this his way of asking for a favor?

He was clearly shifting all the blame onto the emperor, and while helping Prince Yi’s Mansion retrieve the person, he would gain no benefit at all; all the advantages would go to Prince Yi and his wife.

How could he possibly do something so disadvantageous to himself?

"You may go back first. I need to think more about this matter,"

he said to Prince Yi, waving his hand dismissively.

"Your servant takes his leave."

Prince Yi did not say anything else and turned to leave.

He only knew that he had reminded the emperor, and that was enough. Whether the emperor would actually send someone to Prince Mo’s Mansion to find Yin Baiqing, he did not care at all.

"Gui, come in."

After Prince Yi left, the emperor sighed heavily and called Eunuch Gui from outside the imperial study.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Go in person, select a few capable men, and once night falls, head to Prince Mo’s Mansion to see if you can find Prince Yi’s Fifth Young Master. If you find him, bring him into the palace,"

the emperor ordered him.

Finding Yin Baiqing was, naturally, something he wanted to be done.

If Yin Baiqing was indeed still in Prince Mo’s Mansion, then sending people to investigate would not be a loss, no matter how many it took.

"Yes, this servant will attend to it immediately,"

Eunuch Gui replied, turning to leave the imperial study.

...

Half an hour later, Prince Yi returned to his mansion.

There, Princess Consort Yi was already waiting. Seeing Prince Yi return, she hurriedly approached and asked.

"How did it go, did the emperor agree?"

"Do you not understand what kind of person the emperor is?" Prince Yi retorted.

"He didn’t agree?"

Princess Consort Yi’s expression darkened as she asked.

That emperor, truly a despicable coward, he had caused the trouble himself and yet was trying to make them take the blame!

"Didn’t you make it clear to him? It’s not us who want to rescue him, but it is Master’s command!"

"Right now, no one’s command is of use," Prince Yi said with a glance at her.

Of course, he was certain that once the emperor eventually remembered Yin Baiqing, he would definitely take action.

It might not be today, but by tomorrow at the latest, someone from the palace would surely come out and head to Prince Mo’s Mansion in search of Yin Baiqing.

And he expected that to be tonight!

"Stay in the mansion and do nothing; I have matters to deal with tonight," he said, then prepared to leave.
