Chapter 831: Chapter 831: Can They Grow Legs and Run Away?_1

He gently reminded her.

"Is the Emperor asking me to leave the palace for Prince Mo’s Mansion?" Princess Consort Lian’s heart jolted with shock, which was no small matter.

It was not an easy task for a woman in the palace to leave, as it was always the princes and royal sons who came to pay respects to their mothers; there were no cases of a consort visiting her son in the palace.

The Emperor would really stop at nothing for Prince Lin, wouldn’t he?

She hid her surprise and displayed a smile to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, how can I leave the palace so casually? If the Empress Dowager and the Empress were to find out, they would surely punish me for bewitching the Emperor. Moreover, there’s no reason for me to leave the palace to see Mo’er."

She had originally thought that letting Sui Zimo bring back Sui Zilin wouldn’t be a problem, but now...

She had changed her mind. Given how much the Empress cared about Sui Zilin, he must not be allowed to return to Shaohua City alive. This legitimate heir to the Wei State had to die at White Blind Mountain!

"That’s simple."

The Emperor chuckled lightly.

"I’ve heard that Mo’er has brought a woman into Prince Mo’s Mansion and their behavior towards each other is quite intimate. As Mo’er’s mother, you naturally should go and show some concern, hmm?"

He had already thought of a reason for Princess Consort Lian to leave the palace.

"That... You are right, Your Majesty." Princess Consort Lian laughed and could only agree.

"As for the Empress seeking you out this morning and mentioning Prince Lin, you might as well mention it to Mo’er as well. He has delayed long enough, and it’s time for him to set out for White Blind Mountain to save Lin’er."

"Yes, I understand, and I will speak to Mo’er," Princess Consort Lian agreed.

After getting Princess Consort Lian’s approval, the Emperor left without even having his meal.

At the palace gate, Princess Consort Lian watched the Emperor’s receding figure with a cold, beautiful smile on her lips, "All the matters haven’t even been settled, and he’s so eager to share the joyful news with the Empress? Heh."

In time, she would let the Emperor and Empress know who would have the last laugh!

"Your Highness, are you planning to leave the palace now?" The nanny asked from behind.

Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Lian’s eyes, as sharp as knives, swept towards the nanny.

"What’s the rush? Prince Mo’s Mansion isn’t going anywhere, is it going to sprout legs and run away? I’ll go first thing tomorrow morning!"

Did she need to be in such a hurry? Whether Sui Zilin lived or died had nothing to do with her; there were plenty of other eager people, and she was happy to watch the drama unfold for a while longer.

...

Prince Mo’s Mansion.

In the back garden, the two sat among the flowers with a pot of flower tea in front of them, which Ya Molian poured for Lin Caisang.

"With my single stone thrown into the pond, Shaohua City will never be peaceful again," Lin Caisang said as she accepted the teacup from Ya Molian.

The scandal of the great Prince Mo bringing a woman back to his mansion must have already caused quite a stir. The Emperor would definitely take action, and not just the Emperor—others would likely want to find out the truth for themselves.

"Brother Molian, when that time comes, what are your plans?" she asked.

"What can I do? I’ll go directly to the palace and ask my father, the Emperor, for someone," Ya Molian replied.

"Ask for someone? Who might that be?"

Lin Caisang blinked, not understanding what he meant.

Who in the palace could be worth Brother Molian making a request for someone? If there were truly noteworthy talents in the palace, why would the Emperor put all his hopes on Brother Molian?

"Aren’t you intending to accompany me?" Ya Molian looked at her and spoke somberly.

Although, he really didn’t want to take this young girl with him; the top of White Blind Mountain was far too dangerous.
