Chapter 443: Misdirection

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“If the Consort can successfully leave the Imperial Court, with Zadeh’s ability, it shouldn’t be that difficult to save her.” Lu Ze was very calm.

If they could save the Consort, that would be for the best. If not, it would be a pity, but it wouldn’t affect the overall situation.

However, Lu Ze turned to look at Lin Suisui and suddenly asked, “If you were the Consort, would you choose to leave the Imperial Court?”

“Yes.” Lin Suisui was silent for a moment before looking up and replying with certainty, “I would leave first. It’s better than being trapped and helpless.”

If one person escaped, there was always a possibility of asking for help. With the two of them trapped in the Imperial Court and the fate of the two children outside unknown, the Consort would definitely make the same choice as her.

“No matter what danger happens in the future, if you can leave, that will be the best, since I hope you can be safe.” Not only was Lu Ze not angered by Lin Suisui’s decision, but he also seemed to be relieved.

“I’m most likely the reason you encounter danger.

If possible, it’s naturally best if you and I can stay safe and grow old together. But if not, I also hope that you can be safe.”

“We definitely can.” Lin Suisui was unwilling to think too much about what would happen next. It wasn’t that she was deliberately avoiding it, but there were some things that she could only make choices on when the time came.

When things actually happened, she might hesitate.

The small interlude between Lin Suisui and Lu Ze didn’t alarm the others in the tribe. Things were peaceful in the tribe.

Because it was still early, Lin Suisui taught Black Cloud Pearl and the others how to pack up the herbs they had collected before getting up to return to their tent.

When she got up and turned around, she saw An Duo, who hadn’t been seen for a long time.

“Goddess.” An Duo had suffered a lot at Lin Suisui’s hands previously, so when he saw her again, he was very respectful and polite.

“An Duo.” Lin Suisui nodded to greet An Duo. She originally thought that An Duo had just come by chance, but she didn’t expect that he came to look for her specifically.

“More than ten warriors from the tribes have already gathered and are rushing to the Imperial Court.” An Duo told Lin Suisui the information he had just obtained worriedly.

“Although we have some influence in these tribes, it doesn’t work sometimes. I’ve tried my best to ask those acquaintances to dissuade the leaders of the tribes, but most people still chose to rush to the Imperial Court.”

An Duo said it very implicitly, but it wasn’t difficult to understand.

Although they believed in Tengri, the authority of their immediate boss was more powerful…

The future prosperity of every tribe was in danger. In Mo Rigen’s previous words, if they couldn’t even fill their stomachs, how could they worship Tengri?

“It’s fine.” Lin Suisui smiled at An Duo and didn’t blame him for not doing a good job. “Some things can’t be forced.”

“Are you really unafraid of that concubine?” An Duo was a little hesitant, but in the end, he couldn’t help but say, “I-I have a friend. A few days ago, he went to the capital again under orders. He angered that concubine and Jola, the witch doctor who barely escaped, sent me a letter. He said that he had turned into a pool of blood under their noses…”

As An Duo spoke, he took out a crumpled letter and handed it to Lin Suisui.

“Are you really not worried?”

“Only demons know this kind of technique, right?!” Lin Suisui took the letter from An Duo’s hand, but she didn’t open it. Instead, she looked at him very calmly as she comforted him, “Even when Tengri punishes people, it wouldn’t use such evil methods!

Since you call me Goddess, I naturally have a way to protect you.”

As she spoke, Lin Suisui spread her hands and a butterfly with light blue wings flew up from her palm. The letter that had been in her palm just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This wasn’t the first time An Duo had seen Lin Suisui display this technique, but this was the first time he had seen it at such a close distance.

After his initial shock, he felt admiration.

He quickly knelt down piously and kowtowed to Lin Suisui to show his loyalty.

After Lin Suisui sent An Duo away, she saw Lu Ze coming out from behind the tent at the side. She smiled as she took out the letter from her sleeve. “I saw that An Duo was frightened, so I used a trick to reassure him.”

It was just an illusion created by using illusion parasites. Perhaps it might not be effective on determined people, but it was enough for An Duo, who had already lost his composure.

Lu Ze took the letter from Lin Suisui and read it before saying, “It seems that the concubine is really afraid of you.”

It was also because of this fear that she began to use the carrot and stick approach in the Imperial Court.

This made the nobles and citizens in the Imperial Court question Lin Suisui’s identity.

“It doesn’t matter. The more afraid she is, the more it means that she really hasn’t gained a foothold in the Imperial Court yet. Therefore, for the time being, be it Zadeh or Sr. Khan, they should be safe.”

Lin Suisui wasn’t nervous at all and she said to Lu Ze, “After all, they’re probably still useful to her.”

“However, we can’t rule out the possibility that this concubine will fight to the death if she’s forced into a corner.” Although Lu Ze agreed with Lin Suisui, he was still worried. “After all, if it were me, if I still can’t control the situation after so long, in order to avoid getting myself killed in the end, I can only cut my losses short.

Killing Sr. Khan and Zadeh, then framing the empire for their deaths will be the best solution for the Siamese Kingdom.

This way, no matter who among the northern barbarians inherited the throne in the end, in order to convince the public, they would have to take revenge for Sr. Khan and Zadeh.

Once the northern barbarians start a war with the empire, the Siamese Kingdom in the south will be able to reap the benefits!”
