“There’s nothing wrong with having feelings for someone, and there’s nothing wrong with reciprocating those feelings.”

“It’s wrong to reject someone you genuinely care about!”

Su Ning’s words left Su Bin without a valid counterargument.

However, it had the unintended effect of infuriating Su Bin, prompting him to storm out of the study to cool down.

Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but caution Su Ning, “Are you so certain that the Third Prince will always love you?”

The affections of an emperor were notoriously fickle.

Even if there was genuine love, it often came secondary to political considerations. The emperor’s love for his consorts was often entangled with benefits and power dynamics.

In the context of the original book, even if the Third Prince kept his promise for many years, there was no guarantee he would remain faithful to the female lead.

Moreover, the Third Prince’s character had deviated from the book’s portrayal.

Unlike the Third Prince in the book, who was influenced by the female lead’s modern perspectives, the current Third Prince’s intentions were unclear.

However, Su Ning insisted, “As long as he likes me initially!”

“I’m willing to take the risk!”

Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. “Are you really willing to stake your entire life on this gamble?”

Su Ning nodded resolutely. “I am!”

Then, Su Ning lowered her head. “Third Sister-in-law, if I can’t marry the Third Prince, I’ll be unhappy for the rest of my life. I’ll feel that there’s no point in living…’

“What?”

Qin Zhenzhen was left speechless.

Recalling the details from the original book, she realized that Su Ning’s infatuation with the Third Prince had escalated to an uncontrollable level.

She was ready to sacrifice her life for the Third Prince, even willing to cause pain to her own brother for the sake of the Third Prince.

Back then, the Third Prince hadn’t reciprocated her feelings. If Su Ning could be so devoted under those circumstances, her dedication to the current Third Prince, who had confessed to her, could be even more profound.

How could she give up so easily?

“Third Sister-in-law, could you help me persuade Third Brother?”

Su Bin returned, having overheard everything Su Ning had said.

Su Ning’s words echoed in his mind: It’s not wrong to have feelings for someone, but it’s wrong to reject someone you genuinely care about!

If his younger sister followed his wishes, refrained from entering the palace, and lived in perpetual agony, he would be the one at fault.

Softening his tone, Su Bin said, “Sister, let’s reconsider this together.”

On the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, the palace hosted a lavish banquet, extending invitations to civil and military officials along with their families.

Infiltrating the gathering, the Third Prince’s supporters mingled with the families of officials, including the Third Prince himself, who concealed his identity among the Public House members to gain entry.

Once inside, they initiated the palace change.

Leading the charge, the Third Prince successfully apprehended the inebriated old duke, while the leader of the martial arts world captured the duke’s son. Regrettably, casualties ensued during the fierce conflict between the opposing forces that lasted from night until dawn. Ultimately, victory favored the Third Prince.

In the aftermath, news reached Su Bin detailing how Lord State Duke had manipulated the little emperor using drugs, presenting him as crippled. This stratagem aimed to legitimize the Public House’s claim to the throne.

The Third Prince exposed the Public House’s deception in front of the assembled officials. The civil and military officials enthusiastically declared “Long live” to the Third Prince, urging him to assume the throne.

Consequently, the once-innocent little emperor, now a puppet, was relegated to the position of Retired Emperor, while the Third Prince ascended to the throne as the Emperor.

Simultaneously, in the southern camp during the New Year’s Eve dinner, a military coup orchestrated by General Qin Silong and some of the Third Prince’s loyalists unfolded. This rebellion was swiftly quelled, thanks to the strategic intervention of Qin Silong, who, highly esteemed by Old General Chen, took decisive action by subduing Old General Chen during their shared meal..
