Chapter 476: Sweet Date

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Ze was talking to Pei Qian when Su Qi walked in quickly and bowed to Lu Ze before reporting the news of Lin Suisui’s arrival.

“What happened?” As soon as Pei Qian heard that Lin Suisui was coming, he immediately turned around warily and glanced at the sandglass by the window.

If not for something urgent, she probably wouldn’t have rushed over to look for Lu Ze at this time.

Su Qi lowered his head and explained the news he had received in a low voice, “Madam didn’t reveal it. Su Le sent someone to deliver a letter. He said that Madam had something urgent to discuss with Master.”

Lu Ze nodded and instructed Su Qi to go out and pick her up immediately. After he sat at the table for a while, he couldn’t help but stand up and rush out.

Pei Qian wanted to stay where he was and wait, but seeing that Lu Ze had also left, he followed him and rushed towards the entrance of the Imperial City government office as well.

Lin Suisui arrived quickly. Before Lu Ze even walked to the entrance, he saw a carriage rushing over from the entrance.

Lu Ze didn’t ask anyone to put down the stool. He reached out directly and carried Lin Suisui down from the carriage.

Lin Suisui’s wide skirt drew a semicircle in the air, making Pei Qian, who was following behind, feel a little dizzy. He snorted with a straight face as he walked over and asked before Lu Ze could ask, “Madam Liu, what happened?”

“Let’s go in first.” Lu Ze protected Lin Suisui as he turned around to answer Pei Qian’s question for Lin Suisui.

Under the protection of Su Le and the others, the group quickly returned to the small courtyard where Lu Ze and Pei Qian usually stayed.

As soon as Lin Suisui entered, she didn’t even sit down before she told Lu Ze and Pei Qian about the Snake God. Then, she continued with some worry, “Now, I know that three girls have become victims, but as for the other children, it’s unknown if they have become victims or not.”

I heard from Mrs. Luo yesterday that many commoners have gone to pay their respects to the Snake God!

I haven’t completely investigated how wide the scope is, but from the looks of it, it definitely isn’t small.

“Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that we still haven’t figured out how many people they’ve used the tame head technique on under the pretext of getting blessed with a child! If things blow up later, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

“I’ll arrange this!” Pei Qian quickly stood up as he said, “I already had some relevant clues. Previously, my subordinates reported that this Snake God was lewd. Because it involved the people from the Siamese Kingdom entering the country, 1 only asked them to observe the situation and not alert the enemy!

I didn’t expect those bastards to do such sinful things!”

“Don’t be anxious. Choosing not to alert the enemy first is the right decision.” Seeing that Pei Qian had stood up and was about to walk out, Lu Ze hurriedly took two steps in his direction and reached out to stop him as he advised, “First of all, we still don’t know the scale of this scheme!

If we can’t capture this group of Siamese swindlers who infiltrated the empire in one fell swoop, even if we exorcize this one now, it won’t have much of an effect.”

Pei Qian paused for a moment before agreeing with Lu Ze, “I understand. Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll arrange for someone to investigate this matter.”

“I can leave this matter to Qian He so that he can have a chance to redeem himself.”

“What’s wrong with Qian He?” Lin Suisui couldn’t help but feel curious when she heard Pei Qian mention Qian He’s ‘acceptance’, so she looked at Pei Qian in confusion.

“He was punished because I made a mistake!” Pei Qian didn’t hide it for Qian He. He told Lin Suisui what had happened to Nina. Then, he added, “I’ve told Qian He more than once not to make any mistakes when feeding her medicine every day!

It’s only been a few days, but they almost caused big trouble for me!”

“She wants to send a letter. Could it be that there’s really a Siamian spy in Cloud Mountain City who can contact her?”

Lin Suisui thought of another possibility.

After all, in Nina’s current state, even if Pei Qian had not ordered people to break her limbs, it was impossible for her to escape from the prison.

Therefore, she probably wanted to use the food deliverer to spread the news.

“I heard from Heka that Nina is considered a capable subordinate of the eldest prince of Siam! The eldest prince is not the only one who covets Siam’s throne! The eldest princess is the eldest prince’s greatest competitor!

Logically speaking, the people under the eldest princess probably won’t treat concubine Nina well, but we can’t rule out the possibility that the eldest prince’s people are still hiding in Cloud Mountain City.”

This was what Lin Suisui was more worried about.

Siam’s influence definitely wouldn’t be able to expand to the northern barbarians now. The eldest prince’s previous plan had failed!

Therefore, from a certain perspective, this gave the princess a chance. If she could use this opportunity to cause some trouble at the border of the empire and create chaos, it would help the Siamese in the south attack the empire.

Perhaps that princess really had this plan!

Although Nina was the eldest prince’s right-hand woman, she had messed up what the eldest prince had instructed her to do. According to the eldest prince’s personality, even if she could escape back to Siam safely, the eldest prince wouldn’t let her off!

Therefore, she might really choose to take the risk and side with Princess Corgila!

However, if she really betrayed the eldest prince because she wanted to survive, wouldn’t she be safer if she joined them and chose to cooperate with the empire?

“I want to see Nina again.” Thinking of this, Lin Suisui told Lu Ze and Pei Qian what she had just thought of. “She rejected me last time, probably because she still had some delusions at that time.

Now that so many days had passed and she had suffered many punishments, she must have lost some hope.

If we give her some carrots after the stick, we might be one step closer to getting her to compromise..”
