CHAPTER 2225: CHAPTER 2225: SCARED INTO A COLD SWEAT

Just now, when the master force-fed him the poison, his expression looked like a mouse that had seen a cat.

"Besides, those secrets of Yin Lvqing are matters of life and death for him. Speaking out would spell death, so why would he willingly speak?" Lin Caisang added.

In the end, it’s not that he is unwilling to speak, but he dares not to speak out.

"Zhe Jue, don’t look down on Yin Lvqing just because he’s at a disadvantage in front of us today. Yin Lvqing has his own capabilities!" Sui Zimo’s fierce eyes swept over Zhe Jue’s face as he spoke.

"But the master and madam today..."

Zhe Jue couldn’t understand. If Yin Lvqing is really capable, then why did the master and madam expose themselves to him?

And since they’ve exposed themselves, why didn’t they just kill the man directly?

"Behind him, there’s someone else after all," Lin Caisang said.

Hearing this, Zhe Jue suddenly understood.

Did the master and madam want to push Yin Lvqing into desperation, to make him seek out the person behind him?

That’s right.

"But regarding Emperor Ziyan..."

"Wait for the second demonic child to be found," Lin Caisang said.

It seems that once the second demonic child is found, Emperor Ziyan will surely become restless.

By then, both of them will go looking for the person backing them up. And when that happens, she certainly wants to see that person as well.

"Yes, madam is right," Zhe Jue agreed.

Indeed, no matter who is behind Emperor Ziyan and Yin Lvqing, they will ultimately show themselves.

When that time comes, all they need to do is wait to confront them.

"I wonder how things are going over there."

When Lin Caisang mentioned Emperor Ziyan, she thought of the matters within the imperial tomb.

She knew Prince Niu had arrangements in place, and it wouldn’t be so soon, but she was still anxious. She also didn’t know whether this demonic child really existed.

If he does exist, when exactly would he come forth!

"Huff!"

She let out a deep sigh.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing her solemn expression, Sui Zimo raised his hand to lightly tap her forehead.

"Nothing,"

Lin Caisang pouted and shrugged her shoulders.

No matter how much she thinks, it’s useless; everything has to be done step by step.

"Nothing, then accompany me for a stroll. Since arriving in Ziyan Kingdom, I haven’t yet had a chance to appreciate the scenery of this city," Sui Zimo said.

Hearing this, Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows.

"Alright, let’s go for a stroll."

...

Elsewhere, Prince Niu had already arranged for people to go to the royal tomb.

It wasn’t to cause much commotion, but to let all the Tomb Guards know that the royal tomb was still under surveillance.

It wasn’t long before the Tomb Guards discovered traces of strangers.

But the Tomb Guards who tried to capture them lost track of the people, and in the end, they could only report this matter upwards.

Originally, there were a few Tomb Guards who suggested keeping this incident hidden, since the events that had previously occurred in the royal tomb were too significant, and they feared provoking Emperor Ziyan’s wrath once more.

However, precisely because the previous incidents in the royal tomb were so serious, what if those whom they had lost track of were targeting the royal tomb again?

They didn’t have the guts to withhold the report, so they urgently passed it on up.

At Emperor Ziyan’s side, late in the night, he received the message reported from the royal tomb. Hearing that strangers had appeared near the royal tomb, it startled Emperor Ziyan into a cold sweat.

"All of you, leave!"

With a grand wave of his hand, he dismissed everyone attending him in the imperial study.
