Chapter 1297: Chapter 1297: Capture Him!
“You,”
the Empress Dowager shook her head at him, also feeling helpless.
“Fortunately, there’s still room for turning things around, otherwise…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the old nanny walking in with a look of distress on her face.
“What’s happened?” she asked.
“Empress Dowager, there’s been a mishap,” the old nanny glanced at the Emperor before turning towards the Empress Dowager, speaking in a low voice.
“Hmm?”
A sudden sense of foreboding struck the Empress Dowager’s heart.
“They didn’t stop it?”
“It’s not that they didn’t stop it but that soone interfered. Our people could only watch as the palace eunuch who was reading the imperial decree entered the National Teacher’s residence,” the old nanny replied.
“That’s not too problematic, as long as Suyang has not sent the person out of the residence. There’s still room to maneuver. The Emperor can simply issue another decree,” said the Empress Dowager.
At this mont, she couldn’t worry about what exactly the Emperor’s decree ant or why it was altered so suddenly. The most important thing was to redy the mistake.
“The National Teacher has already sent the person to Prince Yi’s Mansion,” the old nanny said with pursed lips, before reluctantly speaking through clenched teeth.
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, the Emperor imdiately stood up.
“How are you handling affairs, that you can’t even manage such a small matter?”
“What exactly happened? Explain it to
clearly,”
the Empress Dowager said, glancing at the Emperor before looking at the old nanny.
Despite the calm appearance on her face, her heart was already churning with turmoil.
“To answer Your Majesty, our people had nearly caught up, but several individuals appeared and detained them,” said the old nanny.
“Not only that, but those individuals also took our people into custody, and only released them after the National Teacher had delivered the person to Prince Yi’s Mansion, which is when I received the news,” she continued.
“Damn it!”
The Emperor cursed.
“Who dares to oppose
this way? What is Prince Yi doing, knowing that it’s a counterfeit, why would he take the person into his mansion? Utterly deserving of death!”
“Calm down, there’s no need for agitation,”
the Empress Dowager advised him, seeing his murderous look.
“Explain it to
more clearly, what exactly happened?” she looked at the old nanny and asked again.
“Your Majesty, our people reported that, from the speech of those who detained him, it was discerned that those individuals were from Prince Mo’s Mansion. I deduce that Prince Mo must have anticipated this incident, hence sending people to intercept,”
the old nanny spoke.
Obviously, she didn’t dare to suggest that there was a mole in the Empress Dowager’s own palace; otherwise, she would be the first to be suspected.
“Sui Zimo, always Sui Zimo! Why is he involved in everything? Does he really think I dare not kill him?!”
The Emperor was infuriated at the ntion of Sui Zimo. Ever since Zimo had returned, not a single thing had gone according to his wishes.
“I will draft a decree right now to have him arrested!”
“Your Majesty!”
The Empress Dowager glared at him upon hearing his words.
“We have no evidence to prove that the people who blocked those I sent were from Prince Mo’s Mansion,”
she said. Hearing sothing was not enough to serve as evidence.
If Zimo firmly denied sending anyone, could they really put the bla on a distinguished prince? They could only swallow this grievance in silence.
“Now is not the ti to deal with Sui Zimo. Finding Wu’er is what’s most important!”
“Mother…”
How could the Emperor accept this situation? He was determined to teach Zimo a lesson.
