Chapter 1836: Chapter 1836: It’s Become Unrestful Again

Then, the lingering poison flared up again.

"When did I ever send someone to intercept that idiot!"

As he smashed things around him, he asked the people outside, even as he lay in bed, he flung pillows and the blanket that covered him all over the place.

"My lord, it was... the teacher nurtured by our residence, knowing Your Highness was troubled by Prince Lin’s return, that sent someone to make things difficult for Prince Lin," the attendant explained.

At the door, Sui Zijin’s personal guard explained to his lord.

Nobody expected that Sui Zilin would stay in the palace for so long and that he would take the matter directly to the empress dowager.

This being the case, wouldn’t the empress dowager be angry?

"Idiots, a bunch of idiots, all of them out of my house!"

To deal with Sui Zilin, would he use such a foolish method? What was Sui Zilin worth? He could fool himself to death; why should he even step in to complicate things?

This was no different than lifting a rock to crush his own foot.

Yet, the rock was not lifted by himself, but by those fools raised in his residence!

Thinking of this, he was even angrier.

"Yes, my lord, I will go right away..."

"Wait, come back!"

Just as that subordinate was about to leave, Sui Zijin called him back.

"My lord, do you have any further orders?"

"How is Sui Zilin doing? Has he returned to his residence?" Sui Zijin asked.

Why did he feel that this time, Sui Zilin had become smarter?

Would the old him have acted this way? Always indulged by the emperor, even if he did wrong, he remained blissfully unaware.

Could it be that this time Sui Zilin was just lucky enough to escape disaster?

"Our shadowing men reported that after Prince Lin left the palace, he went straight to the National Teacher’s residence; probably he went to trouble the National Teacher," the subordinate speculated.

Upon hearing this, Sui Zijin frowned.

He dared to trouble the National Teacher’s residence just after his return?

Having seen the empress dowager, there was no reason not to know that the National Teacher Suyang had already sided with Sui Zimo. How could the empress dowager allow Sui Zilin to offend the National Teacher again?

Moreover, Sui Zilin had just returned and the influences that used to be his had already switched allegiance to Sui Zimo.

In Shaohua City, he was practically powerless. How dare he offend the National Teacher?

"Send someone to keep watch, and report back immediately with any news."

"Yes, my lord."

The subordinate accepted the order and promptly left.

...

In the National Teacher’s residence.

The long-quiet National Teacher’s residence became unsettled again after Sui Zilin requested a meeting.

The National Teacher Suyang sighed softly and then walked out of his study.

"Invite Prince Lin inside, but remember, be polite and treat him well," he instructed his servant.

His son was dead, and no amount of wanting to tear Sui Zilin to pieces would bring him back.

Now, he could only take one step at a time or perhaps leave this place of trouble.

The second option was, of course, impossible; thus, he could only take one step at a time.

"Yes, sir."

Butler Xin, upon receiving the order, went to invite Sui Zilin inside.

...

Another half-month passed, and the vast majority of court affairs, which had been in the hands of the royal uncle, were now under Sui Zilin’s control.

This should not have worried the emperor; he should have been secretly pleased instead.

But gradually, he noticed something amiss, for Sui Zilin managed state affairs in a way that won the people’s hearts even more than he did as emperor.
