Chapter 1831: Chapter 1831: She Found Out, She Knows the Truth
Could there be so secret about the iceworm robe that he was unaware of?
He thought it was a treasure, which was why he had intended to give it to the Emperor of Wei, expecting him to carry out the tasks he had laid out.
Little did he know, the iceworm robe was not as he imagined!
“Sui Zimo, what do you an by that? Make yourself clear!” The thought that he might have hard the Emperor of Wei, jeopardizing their plans, threw him into turmoil.
“What do I an? Haven’t I made myself clear enough?” Sui Zimo sneered coldly.
“Indeed, trapped in this darkness without any light, how could you know what goes on outside?”
“What are you saying, what do you really an?”
The cloaked figure roared at Sui Zimo, appearing completely mad.
“It’s quite lively out there now. After the emperor wore the iceworm robe you sent, he was poisoned, lying in bed without being able to get up, and to force
to hand over the antidote, he personally ordered the extermination of his most loyal subordinates and their families.
Do you think, after such tyranny, anyone will remain loyal and obedient to him?”
Sui Zimo softly interrogated the cloaked figure.
“That fool, he dared to, he actually dared to…”
The cloaked figure trembled with fury upon hearing these words.
It was all in vain that he had trusted such a fool, revealing to him the most crucial purpose of his journey to the wasteland. Even after being caught by Sui Zimo, he felt no regrets.
Yet, he hadn’t expected that fool to be so useless!
That man was spineless, willing to do anything to save his own life.
Would he spill the secrets confided to him to get the antidote from Sui Zimo?
As this thought struck him, he was overwheld, emanating an eerily terrifying aura.
Watching the cloaked figure’s expressions, Sui Zimo let out a soft chuckle, turned, and left the cell.
…
“You’ve been to the cell?”
By the ti he returned, Lin Caisang was already waiting for him and asked casually.
“Hmm.”
Zimo answered.
“If I’m not mistaken, there is a great secret that the Emperor of Wei only knows, one that the cloaked figure told him to execute.”
He spoke to his Sang’er.
“So, the cloaked figure took the iceworm robe from your side and gave it to the emperor to ensure that the emperor would carry out his tasks more diligently, right?”
Lin Caisang inquired.
She realized the truth, that it was because of this that the emperor had been poisoned!
“Are you planning to pry this secret from the emperor’s lips?” she asked.
“That is essential,” Sui Zimo said.
“Essential it is, but how to extract it is also a problem,” Lin Caisang pondered and said.
The Emperor of Wei was not an honest man; once he received the antidote, he would certainly not reveal the secret again, and without the antidote, he would not reveal it either.
It was his lifeline.
“The poison on the iceworm robe actually doesn’t need an antidote; over ti, it will counteract itself.”
She stated.
This was another issue. If they delayed too long, and the emperor found his health improving, he would inevitably stop cooperating with them.
“Sang’er, what would you say if soone wanted to usurp the throne at this ti? How should the emperor respond?”
Just as Lin Caisang was unsure of how to proceed, she suddenly heard Sui Zimo’s deep voice beside her ear.
