The Peasant Wife Is a Lucky Charm

The General Manor disregarded the counsel of the Third Prince.

They continued to amass evidence of the Public House’s transgressions and submitted them to the emperor.

Recently, the General Manor unearthed signs of the Public House’s presence in another training facility.

Should the General Manor unveil this secret and present the proof to the emperor, the emperor’s wrath would be inevitable.

The act of nurturing and training soldiers outside the established norms was viewed as an act of rebellion.

This was deemed intolerable by the emperor himself.

The consequences of the emperor’s impulsive actions could tip the balance in the power struggle between the royal family and the Public House.

However, the repercussions would extend beyond the capital and permeate the entire country, resulting in a widespread bloodbath.

Initially, Su Bin had strategized with Lin Yue, agreeing that revealing the Public House’s unauthorized military activities to the emperor or the General Manor was not prudent at this stage.

The timing was not right, and the Third Prince lacked sufficient support.

Relying solely on the Emperor and the General Manor was insufficient to bring down the Public House.

If the training location was exposed, the General Manor could dispatch hero posts, rallying heroes to create disturbances akin to besieging bandits. This would not only allow them to seize resources but also force the Public House to relocate out of fear.

However, the obstinate General Manor disrupted these carefully laid plans.

Qin Zhenzhen sensed that Su Bin harbored concerns.

“Are you anxious about potential threats to the palace?” Su Bin, with a reassuring smile, chose not to involve his wife in the complexities of the unfolding situation.

“That’s not true.”

However, Qin Zhenzhen countered, “Don’t deceive me. I’m well aware of the crisis unfolding in the capital.”

“In reality, I’m not as delicate as you presume. You needn’t concern yourself with how the court’s affairs might affect my mood.”

“Tell me, what recent developments have you learned about?”

Qin Zhenzhen understood that unsettling news must have arrived from the capital, beyond Su Bin and his associates’ control. Hence, his expression reflected the gravity of the situation.

Su Bin, who had deliberately sidestepped discussing capital matters with her recently, gently embraced Qin Zhenzhen and began recounting recent events.

“I’m somewhat apprehensive that the emperor might fall into the Public House’s scheming.”

Within the Public House were numerous strategists skilled in machinations. If they orchestrated a trap for the emperor, convincing him to consider abolishing the Crown Prince, it could lead to the Emperor’s downfall.

This was because the Empress Dowager would likely ally with the Public House and support the abolition of the emperor.

Su Bin expressed his hope that his concerns wouldn’t materialize.

Inwardly, Qin Zhenzhen felt a surge of shock.

At this rate, the emperor was playing with fire.

However, considering the emperor’s character from the historical narrative, longevity wasn’t in his favor. Despite Qin Zhenzhen’s altered presence in his life, it seemed his fundamental personality remained unchanged. Was he inevitably destined for a short life?

“Wife, what thoughts occupy your mind?”

Qin Zhenzhen regained her composure and offered a reassuring smile. “There’s no need to overly fret about events unfolding in the palace.”

“If you can’t alter it, then it’s best to embrace the reality.”

“Many things are fated.”

“As for us, we still possess the capability to safeguard ourselves.”

Referring to the book’s storyline, the Public House’s dominance over the world seemed implausible. Even if they seized the dragon throne, it appeared their rule would be short-lived.

The Third Prince, destined by birth, held the key to ultimate control over the world, irrespective of their own actions.

“Indeed,” Su Bin concurred with his wife’s perspective.

Yet, his concerns extended beyond hers. He couldn’t forget the way the detestable Crown Prince gazed at his wife—a look any man could decipher. Su Bin worried that the Public House might overthrow the emperor, aiding the Crown Prince in ascending the throne. Even if the Crown Prince harbored no intentions towards his wife, he might still consider Su Bin a thorn in his side.

This potential scenario could prove more troublesome than the current circumstances..
