Chapter 873: Chapter 873: To Die Like This Would Be Letting Him off Too Easily_1

"What do you mean by that, Miss?"

Indeed, as Suyang lifted his head, he saw the emperor’s eyes narrowing dangerously, filled with displeasure, staring at Lin Caisang.

"Pfft."

Lin Caisang, however, did not even bother to acknowledge the person in front of her, and continued to scoff.

"I wander among the nations, and my reputation is not bad. Of course, there are also not a few who want to kidnap me to treat certain people, but that Eunuch Su by the emperor’s side is indeed a remarkable person."

As she spoke, she cracked a smile, her eyes full of sarcasm, watching the emperor.

"To discuss with Imperial Teacher Su so openly in front of me about how to kidnap me into the palace, I truly have never encountered such a thing before. That Eunuch Su could be called the first to do so."

"Hm?"

The emperor’s fierce eyes narrowed as he glanced at Suyang, who was still kneeling on the ground and had not risen.

"Imperial Teacher..."

"Your Majesty, what she said is true. I have repeatedly reminded Eunuch Su about this. He would not listen and even suggested to me to just kidnap the Miss into the palace."

Suyang could only tell the truth, after all, it was a fact. Even if it made the emperor lose face, and even if it concerned someone close to the emperor, relying on his position as the National Teacher, he could still stand his ground.

But if he didn’t tell the truth and offended Lin Caisang, that would truly be a loss not worth the gain.

"I was helpless, so I ordered the guards of my residence to send Eunuch Su back to the palace."

Upon hearing this, the emperor took a deep breath, cursing Eunuch Su in his heart countless times.

It seemed that this worthless servant had stayed by his side for too long, actually thinking he was so remarkable. Did he really think he was second only to one, superior to millions? He ought to be demoted to do the hardest and most tiring work, to stay in the cold palace—that would still be letting him off lightly!

"So it seems it is Eunuch Su’s fault," he said in a grave voice to Lin Caisang.

"The Miss possesses great talent, and I did instruct him before to speak kindly to you. I never expected him to act so deceitfully behind my back. He truly deserves to die!"

But wouldn’t death be too lenient for him?

"It’s good that the emperor understands," Lin Caisang said nothing more, simply shrugging her shoulders.

"Father, today is not the day to talk about Eunuch Su, right? Moreover, our esteemed Imperial Teacher has been kneeling long enough. If he continues, I fear his legs will break," said Ya Molian, who was sitting to one side, bringing everyone’s thoughts back to the present.

On hearing these words, Suyang felt a profound agreement. Although Prince Mo’s words were rather unpleasant—what did he mean his legs would break?—kneeling all the while, listening to the emperor and Lin Caisang talk, was not appropriate. It was about time to let him get up, right?

In this respect, he was quite thankful for Prince Mo’s "poisonous tongue" at the moment.

"Imperial Teacher, you may rise," said the emperor, glancing indifferently at Suyang, commanding him to stand before continuing his gaze on Lin Caisang.

"Miss, the Imperial Teacher must have told you already, the reason we have summoned you to the palace is to discuss the mission to White Blind Mountain to save Prince Lin. He has been in White Blind Mountain for quite some time, and I am very concerned."

It was more than just concern; if the wait continued, he wondered if his son would still be alive.
