Chapter 1871: Chapter 1871: Send... Send the army?

"Master, this... I also have no choice, I have issued the orders several times, but the eunuch delivering the edict disappeared without a trace. Probably, he was taken care of by the people from Prince Mo’s Mansion. I can’t possibly go there in person, can I?"

He was also feeling frustrated, with no outlet for his anger.

This Sui Zimo really doesn’t regard him, the emperor, highly at all, daring to openly kill even the eunuch delivering the edict. What wouldn’t he dare to do?

"How about, Master, you personally visit Prince Mo’s Mansion?"

He suggested to the cloaked figure.

Upon hearing his words, the cloaked figure’s eyes sharpened, and he gave him a cold look.

Visit Prince Mo’s Mansion, as if he had too long a life? Sui Zimo had already captured one of his companions; he didn’t want to be captured himself!

"Send someone again, if that doesn’t work, send the military directly!" he ordered the emperor.

If people from Prince Mo’s Mansion could take care of a eunuch delivering the edict, they surely wouldn’t openly slaughter the troops of the Wei State in the streets, would they? He wanted to see how Sui Zimo would react this time!

"Send... the military?"

The emperor was shocked by the cloaked figure’s words.

Just to deliver an edict to Prince Mo’s Mansion, would they send a troop of soldiers?

Wouldn’t that let everyone in Shaohua City know that he, the mighty Emperor of Wei, was trying to snatch his own son’s wife?

Doesn’t he care about losing face?

"What are you hesitating for, do as I say," the cloaked figure said before swiftly leaving.

What he didn’t know was that as he left the palace this time, he had already been followed, and the tracker went directly to his residence.

Although the emperor disapproved of the cloaked figure’s methods, he was his master after all, and he couldn’t defy the orders, so he had to follow through.

...

"Send troops to Prince Mo’s Mansion?"

In the Empress Dowager’s palace, hearing this news, the Empress Dowager was utterly shocked.

Because although the emperor had previously sent orders into Prince Mo’s Mansion, resulting in the death of the eunuch delivering the edict, his actions had been discreet, and the Empress Dowager was not informed.

But this military matter once spoken out loud, couldn’t be hidden at all.

"Why would the emperor do such a thing? This is too presumptuous!"

Although she too wasn’t fond of the people in Prince Mo’s Mansion and wished they would disappear soon, the people in Prince Mo’s Mansion weren’t simply to be eradicated whenever they wished; a reliable opportunity was needed.

Why would the emperor send troops to Prince Mo’s Mansion now?

"Replying to Your Majesty, the servant heard that the emperor wanted the Commandery Princess of Liang to enter the palace and had issued a decree to confer her as a consort, thereby angering Prince Mo," the nanny said to the Empress Dowager.

"Confer the Commandery Princess of Liang as a consort? How presumptuous!"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager slammed the table and rose, her entire old face flushed with anger.

"The marriage of the Commandery Princess to Prince Mo was agreed upon with the Liang Kingdom long ago. How could he change it at his whims? Does he think of the Liang Kingdom as nothing, not to mention the Elder Princess of Liang?"

The Elder Princess of Liang, she was the beloved sister of the Emperor of Liang.

The daughter of the Elder Princess, even if an illiterate peasant, was a favored one, not to be manipulated at will!

"Doesn’t he consider his age, that the Commandery Princess of Liang is only fifteen? He dares to do such a thing! Is he trying to doom the Wei State?"

If because of this matter, the Emperor of Liang became enraged, he would surely send troops to attack the Wei State. Then, could her foolish son withstand it?
