Chapter 982: Chapter 982: How Could Such a Thing Happen?

Is this an indirect way of saying her son isn’t smart? But she truly couldn’t understand why Lin’er would want to kill Suri.

"Lin’er, tell Mother, did someone force you, was it Sui Zimo who compelled you, right?" she looked at her son, leading him on.

"Empress Dowager..."

"Is the Empress Dowager trying to absolve Prince Lin of responsibility?"

Ya Molian furrowed her brows, wanting to speak and hold someone accountable, but another voice interrupted her.

Behind her, National Teacher Suyang disregarded the eunuchs’ efforts to block him and marched straight in, his face filled with rage and dark energy, really wanting to strike this mother and son dead!

"Your Majesty, your servant failed to..."

"Get out." The emperor frowned and waved the eunuch away, signaling him to roll out.

"This servant shall take his leave."

The eunuch immediately left.

"National Teacher, please calm yourself, as for this matter, I will surely..." the emperor looked at Suyang, dressed in plain clothes and hat, and although he felt he was too bold, he had no solution for him.

"Your Majesty, this old servant can’t stay calm, nor can I remain unagitated. Now my only son is gone, yet the Empress Dowager is still there shirking responsibility, attempting to push all the blame onto Prince Mo!

This old servant fails to understand, are my son’s life and death truly worthless to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager? Worth less than a single hair of Prince Lin?!"

As he spoke, Suyang’s murderous gaze bore into Sui Zilin.

Yet, when you looked back at Sui Zilin, he seemed not scared at all and instead glared back at Suyang.

"What if I did kill your son? He deserved to die!"

"Lin’er, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Upon hearing her son’s words, the Empress Dowager was so frightened that she covered her mouth.

Had he lost his mind, daring to speak such nonsense in front of Suyang? If he truly drove Suyang to desperation, he was capable of doing anything!

"I’m not talking nonsense."

Sui Zilin looked towards his mother.

"Mother, you don’t know how annoying that Suri was, howling like a slaughtered pig every time the poison was treated, making it impossible for people to sleep. Can’t he bear the pain for even a moment? I despise such people the most; even dead, he had it coming!

Also, if it weren’t for him, that female healer would have left long ago. How could she possibly accompany me all the way back to Shaohua City? You have no idea how detestable that wretch is, actually drugging me unconscious. I never wanted to return with her!"

"Could such a thing have happened?" The emperor looked at Ya Molian.

"Mo’er, you say..."

"These matters are better asked of Commander Mo, who has been guarding Prince Lin all along," Ya Molian directly shut him down.

Emperor: "..."

He could only grit his teeth and turn to Commander Mo.

Commander Mo: "!!!"

How was this his problem again? Clearly, he hadn’t done anything.

"Replying to Your Majesty, the situation was extremely urgent at that time. There was only a brief moment to exit from the foot of White Blind Mountain, and Prince Lin..."

He glanced sideways at Sui Zilin, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued.

"Prince Lin, despite everyone’s persuasion, insisted on barging through. The young lady thought that if Prince Lin barged in rashly, he would surely fall into a trap again. So that’s why... that’s why she knocked Prince Lin unconscious, allowing this lowly servant to carry Prince Lin out."

"Tsch!"

Suyang listened to Commander Mo’s words and let out a cold sneer.

Such a person still thought that the young lady giving him a knockout drug was a mistake. He himself had knocked his son unconscious for the lady to treat him!
