    Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions


    Qin Zhenzhen pondered the potential events unfolding in the capital and couldn’t fathom the impending developments.


    Unable to contain her curiosity, she questioned Su Bin, “Tell me, what do you think will happen in the capital?”


    Su Bin wore a cryptic expression. “If I’m not mistaken, the emperor might meet his end soon.”


    Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. “Is the Public House in such a rush?”


    Could it be that they were aligning with the narrative of the original book?<div>


    In the book, it was the Eighth Imperial Uncle who assassinated the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Was it now the Public House orchestrating the demise of the Emperor and the Crown Prince?


    Su Bin whispered, “They’re not in a hurry. It’s likely they’ve already taken out the emperor, nning to support the crown prince’s ascension to the throne.


    That fool, the crown prince, is far more manageable than the current emperor.”


    “They won’t directly seize the throne. The Empress Dowager stillmands a portion of the military, and many ministers remain loyal to her.”


    “As long as the Empress Dowager and the General Manor unite, the Public House will hesitate.”


    “They will proceed cautiously—first, eliminate the emperor, prop up the crown prince, diminish the Empress Dowager’s influence, and suppress the General Manor.”


    “When the opportune moment arrives, they’ll gradually manipte the crown prince. Eventually, the entire nation will fall under their control.”


    “If the Third Prince doesn’t mature swiftly and relies solely on the General


    Manor, his path will undoubtedly be fraught with challenges.”


    “Unluckily, he may even be at risk of losing his life.”


    Qin Zhenzhen remained rtively unfazed.


    As the protagonist in the book, the Third Prince was destined for a challenging journey.


    Yet, possessing the aura of a male lead, a short and tragic life was out of the question.


    “He is bound to ascend to the throne; there’s no need for excessive concern on that front,” she reassured herself.


    What troubled her were the potential repercussions for their own situation.


    “So, what’s our n?” she inquired.


    Su Bin responded, “If they indeed eliminate the emperor and elevate the Crown Prince, our situation won’t be significantly impacted.”


    “Firstly, we’ve already departed from Shanglin. The mountains are distant, and reaching us would require considerable effort on the part of the Public House. Sess is not guaranteed.”


    “Secondly, the Public House would likely demote me to Shanglin instead of executing me immediately. They’ll adopt a wait-and-see approach, ready to pull us into their fold at any moment, given our affluent background that promises increasing wealth.”


    “Money is the lifeblood of a nation. Eliminating us would deplete the treasury’s ie, resulting in more drawbacks than benefits.”


    “Thirdly, the Public House may believe that our reluctance to align with them is solely due to the Crown Prince’s aspirations for you. They will perceive it as a matter of personal gain, assuming that as long as they fulfill our desires, we will willingly acknowledge them.”


    “Therefore, don’t worry, my dear. We’re secure for the time being.”


    Qin Zhenzhen sought further rification, “Should we then proceed with the original n and assist Chen Lin’er in overturning the case?”


    Su Bin nodded resolutely. “Yes.”


    “We’ll support Chen Lin’er in reversing the case and ensuring justice for Ms. Zhang. We’ll also caution anyone associated with the mountain bandits to mend their ways, lest they share Ms. Zhang’s fate.”


    “Simultaneously, we aim to dismantle the Public House’s training ground and make them endure in silence!” Su Bin disclosed his strategy to Qin Zhenzhen.


    “Wife, what do you think? Will this n work?” he inquired.


    Qin Zhenzhen apuded Su Bin with a thumbs up. “Brilliant! Brilliant! As expected of someone destined to be the Primus. Your strategic thinking is exceptional!”


    Implicitly, Qin Zhenzhen wanted to express that Su Bin was truly embodying the role of the book’s antagonist. His scheming nature was unmistakable..
