Chapter 1835: Chapter 1835: It Might Be Hard to Turn the Tables

In the suffering days of Sui Commandery, he had long since stopped being the vulnerable Sui Zilin who could be easily manipulated.

There were people waiting for him at the palace gate and others deliberately leading him astray, urging him to visit the empress dowager’s palace first to provoke the emperor’s anger.

Wasn’t it because they feared he would one day rise above them?

Since that was their thought, how could he not fulfil their wishes?

He went straight to the empress’s palace, and after eating, he visited the empress dowager’s palace, taking his time and leisurely strolling, just waiting for the emperor’s envoy to block him on his way out of the palace.

Now, hadn’t that person essentially lifted a rock only to drop it on their own feet?

He was curious to see what plan that person would come up with next to deal with him!

...

Elsewhere, as the empress dowager left the emperor’s sleeping quarters, she immediately scoffed.

"Thankfully, I’ve never favored him; otherwise, our Wei State might truly be doomed!" she said angrily.

Without even thinking about it, everyone knew who had caused this stir; apart from the poisoned Sui Zijin, confined in his own mansion, who else could it be?

This person, just like his mother, was never presentable and always came up with ideas that were bound to expose him at any moment!

"Send someone to Zijin’s mansion for me to warn him sternly. If he dares to act like this again, I will certainly not spare him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will attend to it immediately," the nanny answered and hurried off.

...

Inside Prince Mo’s Mansion.

Lin Caisang and the others were still in the midst of their cultivation, each working very hard.

In the study, one of Zimo’s subordinates who was not often by his side was reporting to their lord.

"Is everything handled?" Zimo asked.

"Yes, my lord, as you predicted, this time, Zijin is likely to find it difficult to recover," the subordinate replied.

"It’s just, this time Prince Lin has become much sharper, even clever enough to play along with the scheme in the palace, delaying so much time before returning to his own mansion, which is quite surprising."

According to our spies in the palace, Prince Lin lingered in the palace for a long time until the emperor, impatient, summoned him.

However, normally with Prince Lin’s temperament, having traveled the roads for so long and then entering the palace, he would likely have hastily paid his respects and returned to rest in his own mansion, wouldn’t he?

This time, his actions truly exceeded everyone’s expectations.

"He ought to be smarter now," Zimo remarked indifferently.

After all, there wasn’t much enmity between him and Sui Zilin. The queen mother had raised Sui Zilin quite well. Until he was five, Sui Zilin was the only prince who did not bully him.

And thereafter, every time he returned to Shaohua City, except for the scorn and mockery from Sui Zilin, none of the dirty tricks were his doing.

At most, it was the queen mother clearing obstacles for her son by herself, doing some things she shouldn’t have done.

"Keep watching. Sui Zijin won’t just let this go. There will be follow-up actions, so be very careful," he instructed.

"Yes, I understand," the subordinate responded.

After receiving the command, the subordinate left the study.

After he left, Zimo vanished in a flash, returning to the backyard to continue cultivating with his dear Sang’er.

...

Inside Zijin’s Mansion.

Already suffering from residual poison in his system, Sui Zijin, upon hearing of the empress dowager’s warning, furiously smashed everything in his room to smithereens.
