Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

According to the book’s plot, the Emperor was slated to have a short lifespan, with his demise at the hands of the Eighth Imperial Uncle anticipated by the end of last year. It was due to Qin Zhenzhen’s alterations to the storyline that he remained alive.

However, it appeared that his life was once again hanging by a thread.

Su Bin let out a sigh. “If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have sold them the secrets and evidence.”

Previously, Lin Yue had conveyed their intentions to employ the secrets and evidence primarily to clandestinely undermine the Public House, inflicting significant losses upon them. The plan was to gradually erode the Public House’s authority and arouse suspicion within the Emperor. The Public House might initially support the Crown Prince’s ascension before replacing him.

“I really didn’t anticipate this,” Su Bin admitted.

Qin Zhenzhen understood Su Bin’s point of view. If events unfolded as he suspected, with the Empress Dowager and the Public House jointly controlling the Emperor, and the Crown Prince ascending to the throne, Su Bin would undoubtedly be the new Emperor’s primary target for elimination.

“Is there a way to rectify this?” Qin Zhenzhen inquired.

Su Bin responded, “There are potential remedies, contingent upon the

Emperor’s willingness to heed advice.”

The General Manor had discreetly delivered the evidence to the palace. Su Bin had advised the Emperor to suppress his anger and refrain from entertaining any thoughts of deposing the Crown Prince until the opportune moment arose. This counsel could only be conveyed through an anonymous letter.

Su Bin’s anonymous letter had been dispatched to the palace, though it remained uncertain whether the Emperor would consider its contents.

Qin Zhenzhen attempted to console Su Bin. “You’ve done your utmost to mitigate the situation. Don’t place excessive pressure on yourself. The Emperor is a shrewd individual who won’t take actions that jeopardize his own safety.”

“If your prediction comes true, and the Emperor is under control, with the Crown Prince ascending, we won’t simply wait for our fate. We can proactively leave the capital.”

Su Bin maintained his silence. Escaping the capital was the final resort.

He didn’t wish to live in hiding with his wife. He aspired to lead his family in an open, happy, and unrestricted life.

That night, Lin Yue hurried to seek out Su Bin.

“Su Bin, is there any way to salvage this situation?”

“Have you heard any updates from the Dragon Phoenix Hall?”

Su Bin explained to Lin Yue that he had dispatched an anonymous letter to the palace. If the Emperor read it, he might not act impulsively.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

He was well aware of the Dragon Phoenix Hall’s capabilities. Delivering an anonymous letter to the Emperor was not a formidable challenge. Moreover, he had faith in Su Bin’s persuasive skills. Su Bin was adept at articulating the potential risks to the Emperor.

Lin Yue sighed again.

“The General Manor excels in warfare and combat, but they lack the patience required for scheming.”

Their battlefield tactics didn’t translate well into this context, which was the primary reason they couldn’t vanquish the Public House.

Each time a new Emperor ascended the throne, a maiden from the General Manor would enter the palace to serve as his concubine. Regrettably, they typically fell victim to the intrigues of the palace and rarely bore children.

Initially, the General Manor contemplated supporting the Third Prince for the throne. However, their plans took an unexpected turn. The Third Prince’s mother was swiftly eliminated by the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and the Third Prince himself was also harmed by them.

During the time when the Third Prince was still alive and his influence was growing, they couldn’t afford to be patient any longer.

Lin Yue confided in Su Bin, “We’ve encountered a predicament in the General

Manor. When we were deliberating how to deal with the Crown Prince and the

Public House, we couldn’t reach a consensus. I didn’t anticipate that Old General Chen would insist on dispatching secrets and evidence to the palace via an anonymous channel.”

“By the time the Third Prince and I discovered this, it was already too late.”

“Based on the evidence and leads provided in the anonymous letter, the Emperor has already initiated actions to dismantle their private army base and apprehend a significant figure in charge.”

Su Bin was already aware of these developments..
