Chapter 3248: Chapter 3249: Why Do You Look So Pale?
It’s simple enough to kill Zui Yifeng, but those evil entities’ sources are indeed very difficult to eradicate.
"So what shall we do next, keep playing hide and seek with Zui Yifeng?" The Great Elder asked.
He was not a very patient person. Knowing there’s such a mastermind behind the scenes, and even knowing their hideout, why let this person continue to wreak havoc?
It would be best to capture this person immediately. Although killing him with one strike would be too easy for him, it would still eliminate a major threat to the Illusion Continent.
"Zhe Jue and the others should be back soon, right?"
Lin Caisang looked at Sui Zimo and asked, while the others also turned their gazes toward him.
Finding medicinal herbs is not a task that can be completed overnight, but after a month, all the necessary herbs should be found. The remaining ones can be searched for slowly.
"Almost."
Sui Zimo nodded.
"Right!"
Suddenly, the Great Elder seemed to have remembered something and slammed the table.
"Almost forgot, you all need to find medicinal herbs, right? I glanced at the prescription in the hands of the City Lord earlier and noticed two medicinal ingredients inside. I happen to have them, and I’ve already sent someone to fetch them. They will arrive soon."
Even though he went through great hardships to find those two herbs, and many people came seeking them, he never gave even the slightest amount.
But Sui Zimo is different, after all. He’s the Junior City Lord of Sky City. Young as he is, he has cultivated excellently and will surely surpass the City Lord Lu Tianlan.
He’s willingly giving these two ingredients to the Junior City Lord for detoxification.
"Thank you, Great Elder."
Sui Zimo expressed his gratitude to the Great Elder.
"No need to thank me, no need." The Great Elder smiled.
"Time waits for no one, so why don’t we make a move right away?" Lin Baizhong suggested.
While they might not step in directly to take Zui Yifeng’s life, they could drive him crazy, force him to expose his weaknesses due to impatience.
"Father, Father-in-law, could you send someone to inform others outside that we are looking for a medicinal ingredient according to a prescription? As for the prescription, it’s okay if it’s leaked."
Sui Zimo said.
"Alright."
Lu Tianlan and Lin Baizhong responded simultaneously.
It would also be a good test to see if that prescription could indeed detoxify.
If it indeed does, Zui Yifeng will undoubtedly panic and might even act recklessly out of desperation.
...
Ziyan Kingdom, within the harem.
The head of the Zui Family, early the next morning, brought Madam Zui over. After waiting at the palace gate for a long time, a palace maid sent by Empress Zui Yiming finally led them in.
"This humble servant greets the Empress."
Upon seeing Zui Yiming, the head of the Zui Family immediately paid his respects.
"Greetings to the Empress."
Madam Zui’s face was full of reluctance, yet she had no choice but to bow and offer her regards to Zui Yiming.
In her heart, she had cursed Zui Yiming countless times. How could Zui Yiming, as a daughter, make her own parents kneel and greet her? What kind of logic is this?
What’s the purpose of such actions? It’s utterly outrageous!
Someone like her is unfit to be the Empress. Only her Chun’er is worthy and should be the one sitting on the Empress’s throne.
"Why does Mother’s complexion look so poor?"
Zui Yiming didn’t ask the two to rise, but instead, remarked quietly on Madam Zui’s noticeably grim expression.
