Chapter 2212: Chapter 2212: Coming in Broad Daylight

"What does Emperor Ziyan intend to do? Kill Yin Lvqing, the ’chief culprit’?" she asked.

"He is only imprisoned, no other news has come." Sui Zimo said.

"Then what were you just pondering? Were you thinking about how to get Yin Lvqing out of the prison?" Lin Caisang inquired.

After all, her research on the poison of St. John’s blue had come to naught, and the poison in her husband’s body would ultimately have to fall upon Yin Lvqing.

"No."

Sui Zimo shook his head.

"My dear, have you noticed that Dream Flame City is too tranquil?"

He asked Lin Caisang.

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Caisang frowned and questioned him.

Is Dream Flame City still considered tranquil now? Isn’t it on the verge of chaos?

"Think about it, if the Demon Child was truly so important, and now that we have destroyed him, how could Emperor Ziyan still sit comfortably in the palace? Wouldn’t he have sent men to search every inch of Ziyan Kingdom by now?

But now, there’s no stir at all."

Sui Zimo reminded her.

After hearing his words, Lin Caisang gave it some thought, and indeed, it was true.

The Emperor of Ziyan, after all, is a sovereign of a nation; his earnestly nurtured Demon Child was burned to ashes in a fire.

"If Emperor Ziyan truly believes Yin Lvqing did this, wouldn’t he do something more than just throwing him into prison?" she queried.

Could one who raised a creature like the Demon Child have any familial affection to speak of? His son must mean nothing to him, right?

Yet, if Emperor Ziyan believed Yin Lvqing was behind it, why would he merely cast him lightly into prison?

"Don’t tell me you suspect..."

Her gaze lingered pensively on Sui Zimo, disbelief in her heart.

If it truly is as she suspected, then isn’t their scheme far from over?

"Master, Mistress, Prince Niu is heading towards our courtyard."

Before the two could finish their conversation, Jiang Li, who had been covertly watching outside, approached and spoke to them.

"Prince Niu?"

Lin Caisang glanced at Jiang Li, then at Sui Zimo.

Prince Niu had last arrived at their courtyard by climbing over the wall in the dead of night; now in broad daylight, he comes so openly and legitimately?

"He must have noticed something as well." Sui Zimo said.

Prince Niu is no fool; if they could sense it, then Sui Zimo, who had just come from the palace, must understand Emperor Ziyan’s current stance even better, right?

"Perhaps, we can draw a conclusion from him." Sui Zimo mused.

"Jiang Li, go and brew some tea." Lin Caisang immediately instructed Jiang Li.

"Yes, Mistress."

Jiang Li complied and withdrew.

Before long, Prince Niu came hurrying over, and as soon as he saw Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang, he sat down without even having the time to greet them.

"I found my encounter with Emperor Ziyan today to be very strange," he began speaking to the pair.

"The imperial mausoleum was bombed, the Demon Child was destroyed, and he didn’t seem angry at all?" Lin Caisang voiced the fact for him.

Indeed, if their actions had truly hit Emperor Ziyan’s sore spot, the grounds of Dream Flame City would have been overturned by now; how could things still be so calm and usual?

Hearing this, Prince Niu shook his head and then nodded.

"To say he wasn’t angry at all would be an overstatement, but indeed, he’s not as furious as we imagined," he declared.
