Chapter 1872: Chapter 1872: For the Trash to Drink

"What a fool, utterly foolish!" she cursed.

"Empress Dowager, please do not be angry. Now is the time to think of a solution," the nanny advised sincerely as she saw the Empress Dowager was truly angry.

What use was being angry now? The Emperor had already issued his decree. Although it had not yet been delivered to Prince Mo’s Mansion, the Emperor was already dispatching soldiers to surround it. How many people in Shaohua City were left unaware that the Emperor wanted to snatch a woman from his own son?

Moreover, that woman was already destined to be the wife of Prince Mo’s Mansion, the Commandery Princess of Liang.

The Emperor, he really dares to entertain such thoughts!

"Think of a solution, what solution could I possibly have?!"

The Empress Dowager was choked with rage, feeling like the Emperor had squandered half of her remaining life with his infuriating actions.

"If Sui Zimo does not wish to do something, even if an entire army is sent, what use would it be? They wouldn’t even be able to break through the gates of Prince Mo’s Mansion!"

...

Indeed, just as the Empress Dowager had predicted, the Emperor had sent a team of soldiers to escort the eunuch bearing the imperial decree to Prince Mo’s Mansion.

Unlike the previous eunuchs bearing decrees, this one had the protection of soldiers, and at first, he was quite proud, thinking he could definitely complete the task assigned by the Emperor.

However, when their group arrived on a deserted street, the sudden appearance of men in black directly slit the soldiers’ throats.

By the time the eunuch bearing the decree realized what was happening, it was already too late, and he could only watch helplessly as the men in black’s knives cut his own throat.

Afterward, the men in black carried the corpses on their backs and then ’thud, thud, thud,’ dumped them in the corner of the imperial palace wall.

The Emperor: "!!!"

When he heard the news and personally came with his men to the pile of bodies, his entire being was inflamed with rage.

"Sui Zimo, how dare he, he actually dared..."

Sui Zimo had truly become lawless, going so far as to kill the soldiers he had dispatched and even throwing their bodies into the palace!

This scene brought to mind the incident from two days ago, when a decree-bearing eunuch was thrown into his sleeping chambers.

Could it be that Sui Zimo really dared each time he sent someone, Zimo would kill them?

A faint premonition told him that Sui Zimo indeed dared, he truly was capable of killing.

He took a deep breath, feeling that the matter of bestowing the title of Consort upon the Commandery Princess of Liang should be put on hold. He would wait until the next time the mysterious figure entered the palace, and then he would reconfirm whether this was necessary.

...

Elsewhere, in a modest-sized courtyard in Shaohua City, a handsome young man was sitting in the courtyard, savoring the spring tea in his hand.

"This wretched place only has this kind of trashy tea, I’ll just make do with it," he said.

He shook his head, drank the tea from the cup in one gulp, and then placed the cup back on the stone table.

"Trashy tea is naturally meant for trashy people to drink."

Suddenly, a male voice sounded in his ear, startling him into jumping up from the stone stool.

"Who is it, who’s talking!"

He turned around on the spot, looking at something, yet seeing nothing. Though he heard the voice, he saw no one.

But he was certain someone had broken in and knew his identity.

With a chill in his heart and gritting his teeth, he leapt up, ready to abandon the residence he had taken great care in choosing to settle down.

This place was no longer safe to stay.

But...
