Chapter 474: Redress
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."
