Chapter 989: Chapter 989 Even if not dead, must be crippled

This is truly laughable, to cast aside one son for another and treat their lord as a ready-made pawn."

The crux of the matter is that if Sui Zilin loses power for killing Suyang, then their lord will undoubtedly be despised by the emperor and empress, and it is only a matter of time before they harbor a desire to kill him."

To think that Princess Consort Lian would be so ruthless as to have their lord killed for the sake of Sui Zijin!

"No need!"

Ya Molian lifted his head and looked at Zhe Jue."

"After Sui Zilin has received his due punishment, we will then inform the empress about this matter."

He instructed."

Telling Suri what use would it be? Just two guards, even if they revealed some truth, it wouldn’t constitute the most critical evidence. Suri wants the person who killed his son to receive the appropriate punishment."

If we really told Suri about this, with the empress and Princess Consort Lian stirring things up from both sides, not only would Sui Zilin avoid any serious consequences, but Princess Consort Lian would also remain unscathed."

Not to mention dragging Sui Zijin into the fray—that would be even more unlikely."

In the end, Suri would have died in vain. The emperor would pretend to punish Princess Consort Lian and Sui Zijin for a while, then put Sui Zilin under house arrest in his residence for a few months, and after that, the matter would be forgotten."

This was not the outcome he wanted!

"Yes, my lord," replied Zhen Wu."

"My lord, about the lady master ... do you want to go back and check on her?" Zhe Jue asked."

Upon hearing this, Ya Molian took a deep breath."

"Zhen Wu, I leave these matters and the situation here to you and Jiang Zuo. Even if Sui Zilin doesn’t die, he must be left incapacitated. Zhe Jue, prepare with Jiang Li. We’re heading back to Ya Village," he instructed."

"Yes, my lord," the two replied in unison."

He would naturally keep a close eye on Sui Zilin, but as for Sui Zijin ...

"My lord, regarding Prince Zijin, should we not ..."

He could hardly believe that Prince Zijin was not involved in this affair. When he had encountered him outside Shaohua City, he had already been suspicious."

It’s just, he had thought that at the time, Sui Zijin would target Sui Zilin instead, never anticipating that it would be Suri."

"His survival or death is only a matter of time," Ya Molian said indifferently."

As soon as the empress brings down Princess Consort Lian, what use could Sui Zijin possibly be? Without Princess Consort Lian scheming for him in the palace over the years, he would have died a terrible death long ago."

...

Inside the space of the golden bead, Lin Caisang was still looking at the jade book."

She did not know how many days had passed; during this time, she had hardly rested at all. She couldn’t help it—in such bone-chilling surroundings, even if one wanted to rest, it was impossible."

Fortunately, the golden bead treated her well, periodically allowing Sui Ziyou to prepare some food and then conveying it to her via the bead’s power."

Otherwise, she really didn’t know how she would have managed to get by."

Coldness was her sole sensation at the moment, yet due to the frosty environment outside, she felt a continual warmth emanating from within her body."

She wondered if she was going mad, to actually feel quite warm under the circumstances."

"The Poison Manual."

Suddenly, her hand touched a jade book, and she stopped abruptly."

"So, the poison in Brother Molian’s body is truly a hidden poison, but how can it be resolved?"

Quickly, she found in the Poison Manual a poison that closely resembled the one afflicting Ya Molian. She began to take notes and planned in her head where to seek the antidote."

Before she knew it, she became engrossed in the Poison Manual, oblivious to the coldness on her skin."
