CHAPTER 2211: CHAPTER 2211: THIS PRINCE UNDERSTANDS NOW!

Even with someone planted right at the mansion’s gate, they remained utterly oblivious.

But then again, who wouldn’t stop worrying about everything else with such a capable princess consort taking care of all matters? Right?

"You should pull yourself together and seriously consider your next move."

"Yes, this son understands."

Prince Niu casually responded, and not long after, he left the palace.

...

"East City, tell me, do you think Father Emperor is acting rather odd?"

Aboard the moving carriage, Prince Niu furrowed his brows and posed the question to the guard sitting beside him.

"Your Highness, may I ask what seems odd to you?" East City looked at his master and inquired.

He hadn’t seen the Emperor, nor could he have, but was there something strange about the Emperor?

"This, I can’t quite articulate at the moment."

Prince Niu shook his head.

Emperor Ziyan could place the blame for the imperial tomb’s desecration on anyone, and Prince Niu wouldn’t find it odd.

After all, such a grave incident required a scapegoat to vent all the suppressed frustration and dissatisfaction.

And he also wouldn’t find it strange that Yin Lvqing was wrongfully imprisoned.

If the incident truly were the doing of Yin Lvqing, it wouldn’t be out of question, under Emperor Ziyan’s furious wrath, to execute him—after all, Emperor Ziyan had many sons and even more grandchildren.

However, Prince Niu still felt there was something amiss—an aura of peculiarity emanated from Emperor Ziyan.

"Your Highness, considering the grave events that unfolded in the imperial tomb, it’s understandable that the Emperor is angry. You should not be overly concerned." East City saw his master lost in deep thought and advised.

"Angry?"

Prince Niu looked up, giving East City a glance.

After a good moment, realization finally dawned upon him.

"I see now!"

...

Within the space of the Golden Pearl, Lin Caisang was researching the poison of St John’s Blue and its antidote, but no matter what, she couldn’t figure out what had been added to it by Yin Lvqing.

"It looks like I must turn to Yin Lvqing for answers." After taking a deep breath, she spoke to thin air.

Since she couldn’t figure it out, she decided to set aside the St John’s Blue poison for now and prepared to leave the Golden Pearl space to check on the situation outside.

"Husband, what are you doing? Daydreaming?"

Upon exiting the Golden Pearl space, she saw her husband sitting in the courtyard, seemingly lost in thought.

"My wife?"

On hearing her voice, Sui Zimo immediately stood up, came over to embrace her, and they both sat down together.

"Come, have a seat."

"What were you thinking about just now?"

Lin Caisang took a seat in the courtyard and asked.

"I just received news that Yin Lvqing has been locked up in the dungeon." Sui Zimo spoke to her.

"Hmm?"

Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows.

With Yin Lvqing’s capabilities, how could he be locked up in the dungeon?

What kind of trouble had he stirred up now, to enrage Emperor Ziyan to the extent of imprisoning his own son?

"What exactly happened?" she asked.

"It’s about the explosion at the imperial tomb," Sui Zimo said.

"Emperor Ziyan believes that the tomb’s blasting and the rumors swirling in Dream Flame City were all orchestrated by people sent by Yin Lvqing."

"Hmm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang was truly shocked.

Emperor Ziyan had quite the talent—turning a blind eye to Yin Lvqing’s previous misdeeds and letting them slide.

Yet this time, without any wrongdoing from Yin Lvqing, Emperor Ziyan adamantly accused him and had him locked up in the dungeon.
