Chapter 486: Regret
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The discussions among the populace in the capital swiftly made their way to the Crown Prince’s residence.
Concerned that the Old Marquis might indeed produce the death exemption token and disrupt his plans, the Crown Prince dispatched an envoy to caution the Old Marquis.
“Did you contemplate the repercussions before considering the use of the exemption card?”
“You must fathom whom Su Bin has antagonized!”
“Let me make it clear, the death exemption card can provide temporary protection, but it cannot ensure eternal safety!”
“If Su Bin persists in remaining in the capital, you’ll be dooming both him and the Marquis Mansion!”
The Old Marquis was drenched in a cold sweat.
He hadn’t foreseen the Crown Prince’s audacity.
Contemplating the possibility of the Crown Prince destroying the Marquis Mansion upon his ascent to the throne left the Old Marquis incensed and remorseful.
He hadn’t expected Su Bin and the Crown Prince to be in such discord, shedding light on why Su Bin had reacted so strongly to his persuasion to side with the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince’s emissary still awaited the Old Marquis’s response, prepared to stay until it was delivered.
With little choice, the Old Marquis had to suppress his vexation and feign helplessness.
“I… won’t employ the death exemption card…’
Receiving this desired answer, the envoy returned contentedly to the Crown Prince’s residence to convey the information.
The Old Marquis wiped away his cold sweat, recognizing that without the Emperor’s protection, Su Bin might have met an untimely end long ago.
Su Bin’s a.s.sertion that staying in the capital was more perilous had gained clarity.
The Old Marquis gazed in the direction of Su Bin’s residence and mumbled to himself, “I hope you’ll remain safe and sound in Shanglin Prefecture once you’re there.”
“I hope we’ll cross paths again.”
The Old Marquis then shifted his attention towards the General Manor and muttered, “General Manor, oh General Manor! Can you a.s.sert your dignity and outshine the Public House for all to see?”
The more formidable the Public House became, the more haughty they grew, eliciting resentment from an increasing number of individuals.
Nevertheless, no matter how many people voiced their grievances against the Public House, it remained the supreme authority in the capital.
Even the Emperor within the palace ultimately fell within their sphere of influence, let alone the civil and military officials and the populace of the capital.
The Old Marquis shook his head with a tinge of self-deprecation.
“I know it’s a formidable task for you to achieve that. I’m merely indulging in wishful thinking.”
“But if you can’t accomplish it, cease your meddling!”
“Don’t bring harm upon yourself and others!”
The Old Marquis began to place blame on the General Manor.
He wasn’t entirely naive. He could surmise that the Crown Prince sought to eliminate Su Bin, with Qin Zhenzhen’s presence being a secondary factor. The primary motive lay in his inability to draw Su Bin to his side. Hence, he chose to transfer Su Bin as a means to rid himself of this perceived threat.
The Old Marquis felt that the General Manor had a role in compelling Su Bin’s departure.
Had the General Manor and the Third Prince been more cooperative, they wouldn’t have inadvertently implicated Su Bin.
The Emperor was well aware of the Old Marquis’s intention to offer the death exemption card in exchange for Su Bin’s transfer.
The Emperor swiftly reached a decision, opting to grant the Old Marquis permission to employ the death exemption card.
This choice stemmed from the Emperor’s own regrets after approving Su Bin’s transfer order. Upon reviewing all of Su Bin’s writings, he held suspicions that the anonymous letter’s author was none other than Su Bin. Yet, he lacked concrete evidence.
To delve deeper and confirm his suspicions, Su Bin needed to remain in the capital. If Su Bin indeed auth.o.r.ed the anonymous letter, the Emperor couldn’t simply let him slip away.
So, the Emperor awaited the Old Marquis’s audience request for the death exemption card in the palace. However, hours pa.s.sed with no sign of him.
Subsequently, the Emperor discovered that the Crown Prince had dispatched a warning to the Old Marquis.
It seemed Old Hou might have had a change of heart due to this warning, ultimately dismissing the idea of utilizing the death exemption card to rescue su Bin..
