Chapter 977: Chapter 977: A Knife Straight to the Heart

"Hmm."

Ya Molian glanced at her and, after responding, fixed her gaze back on the outside scenery.

...

A few hours later, it was very dark, but Ya Molian still managed to accurately pin down the location of the exit.

The reason was nothing other than Jiang Li and Jiang Zuo outside, who had already lit torches and started a bonfire to alert those inside, making it easy for people to locate them.

Of course, if it wasn’t for Ya Molian’s quick reaction, they would still be waiting.

Soon, everyone arrived at the village at the foot of White Blind Mountain, where Steward Xin had already ordered a delicious meal to be prepared, waiting for them. Once everyone arrived, they could immediately enjoy a hot meal.

Complying with Jiang Li and Jiang Zuo’s requests, the dishes were all vegetarian, but everyone ate more heartily than ever before.

"Eat some more."

Ya Molian served Lin Caisang some dishes while she herself also ate.

On the other side, Sui Zilin, who had just been awakened, sneaked a glance at Lin Caisang. Always fearful of being poisoned, he wished Lin Caisang would just disappear. After all, her task was already completed, and he had been saved.

However, he had learned from Commander Mo that they were to travel all the way back to Shaohua City.

The reason was none other than Suri, who needed Lin Caisang to treat his poisoning, and Lin Caisang had come from the National Teacher’s residence.

Up to that moment, he even resented Suyang from the National Teacher’s residence. Why did they have to bring Lin Caisang, this disaster, back, he thought, as he had suffered continuously on the journey because of her!

He really wanted to just slaughter Suri himself!

After resting in the village for a night, many people took their leave, returning to their own countries, leaving only Ya Molian and her group in the village.

On the third day of resting in the village, Lin Caisang treated Suri’s poisoning again. Hearing Suri’s cries and howls, Sui Zilin was so annoyed that he nearly smashed the food that was almost in his mouth.

All night, he couldn’t sleep well due to Suri’s screaming, and even when he got on the carriage, he could faintly hear Suri’s howls because he had been mentally scarred.

...

Departing from the foot of White Blind Mountain to return to Shaohua City, as the major crisis had been resolved, the traveling pace was not so urgent, and the speed of the carriage also slowed down a lot.

However, because Suri wasn’t tied up or knocked unconscious on the way back, he escaped several times, though he was always captured and brought back.

Eager to return to Shaohua City, Sui Zilin hoped to report to his emperor father to ensure Lin Caisang and Ya Molian received the punishment they deserved, but his return was delayed several days because of Suri.

The shadow of the screams, along with the need to face Lin Caisang every day because of Suri, and the delay of several days.

And by his side, there were a few guards incessantly grumbling dissatisfaction about Suri in his ears.

Finally, when they were approaching Shaohua City, Sui Zilin’s royal temper exploded. Seizing the moment when no one was paying attention, he grabbed a guard’s knife and stabbed it straight into Suri’s chest.

And he did it in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, Lin Caisang was stunned, hardly believing this was something Sui Zilin would do.

Since she had planned to move directly into Prince Mo’s Mansion after returning to Shaohua City, she had been in the same carriage as Ya Molian the whole time, while Sui Zilin was in a carriage with two guards. She had no idea what had happened.
