Chapter 872: Chapter 872 That Idiot_1

"My lord, what should we do now? How about we visit the Princess Consort Lian, and afterward, you might accompany your humble servant on a stroll through the National Teacher’s residence?" Dou Qiankou suggested.

His lordship had originally come to meet the female physician, yet only caught a glimpse of her from behind, he was indeed too frustrated to let it go. Why not wait at the National Teacher’s residence? He simply didn’t believe Suyang wouldn’t return home.

"There’s no need, let’s go to the Empress Dowager." Sui Zijin shook his head.

What use would it be to go to the National Teacher’s residence? He still wouldn’t be able to see the female physician; he might as well rest.

Seeing his lordship leave, Dou Qiankou quickly lifted his foot and followed.

...

In the Imperial Study, Lin Caisang and the National Teacher Suyang were summoned in together. At that moment, Ya Molian was already seated to one side, her face appearing so cold it seemed to lower the temperature of the study by several degrees.

Lin Caisang saw National Teacher Suyang kneel down before the Emperor, while she merely raised her eyebrows without bending her knees in the slightest.

"Miss, you should kneel quickly."

Suyang, seeing her like this, reminded her in a low voice.

This was the Imperial Study, after all, with the Emperor right in front of them. How could she not even bend her knees? If the Emperor were to become enraged, it could very likely result in her being dragged out and beheaded.

"Why should this young lady kneel?" Lin Caisang retorted, her voice not too loud or soft, but audible to everyone in the Imperial Study.

"Sss!"

Suyang couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, looking toward the Emperor seated at the head of the room.

"Young lady, you are quite brave, hmm?" The Emperor’s cold gaze was upon Lin Caisang. His words were apathetic yet carried an intense pressure, causing Suyang to bow even lower.

"Does this have anything to do with courage? These knees of mine kneel to heaven, earth, parents, and elders only; anyone else is beyond this young lady’s considerations." Lin Caisang did not show the slightest regard for the Emperor’s intimidation, her words were indifferent.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty, you didn’t summon this young lady here just to discuss whether I should kneel before you, did you? Hmm?"

"Heh."

Upon hearing her words, the Emperor couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Only he knew how sincere that laughter was.

"It has come to my attention that Eunuch Su, who serves at my side, has offended Miss in the National Teacher’s residence?" he asked.

"Your Majesty, about Eunuch Su..."

Hearing the Emperor mention Eunuch Su, Suyang wanted to explain on behalf of Lin Caisang, but he was silenced by the Emperor’s cold glare, sending chills down his spine, and he swallowed his words.

"So it turns out that the fool I encountered earlier in the National Teacher’s residence was actually one of your majesty’s men. That would explain a lot," Lin Caisang said as if she had just realized this, curling her lips, indicating her understanding.

Suyang: "..."

What in the world is this young lady saying?

What do you mean by ’that fool’? Since you’ve already called Eunuch Su a fool, why do you need to mention he’s ’at your side’? Let’s not even discuss that; why would you conclude with ’that would explain a lot’?

Such a statement prompts quite imaginative thoughts.

Are you basically trying to say, ’Your Majesty, you are a fool, and therefore, by extension, all those around you are fools too’?

At this moment, the National Teacher Suyang truly felt a desire to die.

You should not set people up like this, young lady. You should remember you came from the residence of the National Teacher, representing the National Teacher. Such impertinence from you would make the Emperor consider executing the National Teacher first and foremost.
