Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although she was acutely aware of her impending demise, she clung to a glimmer of hope that Imperial Concubine Jiang might yet spare her life.

She was still so young; the thought of her own premature death was unbearable!

However, she had not antic.i.p.ated the brutal force with which Imperial Concubine Jiang would expel her. Wretched creature! Speak! Why have you done this? Who gave you these orders?

Beauty Jiang writhed in agony on the ground.

Empress Dowager sneered. Imperial Concubine Jiang, do you dare to silence me within my own presence?

Before Imperial Concubine Jiang could utter a retort, Empress Dowager commanded, Summon Imperial Concubine Jiang and Beauty Jiang immediately!

Beauty Jiang trembled with fear.

It was rumored that within the Empress Dowagers private chambers, there existed a clandestine chamber of torment. None who entered there emerged unscathed; all confessed their secrets and yearned for a swift death, regardless of their ident.i.ty.

Imperial Concubine Jiang was also apprehensive of facing this grim fate, but her resolve was st.u.r.dier than that of Beauty Jiang. Your Majesty, in the absence of concrete evidence, you lack the authority to take such drastic measures!

Empress Dowager disregarded Imperial Concubine Jiangs protest. With a dismissive gesture, a contingent of formidable guards seized Imperial Concubine Jiang and Beauty Jiang, leading them away.

Empress Dowager cast a stern gaze upon those in attendance. Let it be known:

should anyone dare to divulge the events that transpired here, they shall face the direst consequences!

Qin Zhenzhen and her grandma returned to their modest room.

Grandma Qin remained visibly shaken. That was a close call! They had narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation.

I wonder how Su Bin and the others are faring?

Qin Zhenzhen was notably calmer than her grandma. Considering Su Bins resourcefulness, he wont sit idly by awaiting capture. Hell undoubtedly find a pretext to hide with the rest.

The worst-case scenario is that they might be apprehended by the Emperor before they can conceal themselves. However, Su Bins gift of gab should keep him out of immediate danger.

Grandma Qin sighed, I pray that youre right.

There was something else she couldnt quite grasp. Zhenzhen, can you truly discern that somethings amiss with the Emperor just by looking at him? She had surrept.i.tiously observed the Emperors demeanor earlier and hadnt detected any irregularities whatsoever.

Beauty Jiang had used the concept of antidote through food to deceive everyone, including the imperial physician. And yet, Zhenzhen seemed to have seen through it at a glance?

Zhenzhens ability to read people was nothing short of extraordinary!

Unbeknownst to Grandma Qin, Qin Zhenzhen had deduced Beauty Jiangs actions due to her familiarity with the storys plot. Naturally, she had no intention of revealing this to her grandma.

Meanwhile, Su Bin and the others, after spreading the secret, relocated to a remote farm on the outskirts of the capital. The expansive property featured fields, tenants, and even a sprawling racetrack, providing an ideal setting for Qin Silong to instruct them in horseback riding and marksmans.h.i.+p.

This marked Su Bins inaugural acquisition of a manor, a gesture that also served as a boon for everyone within the intelligence network.

Su Bin, making a solemn commitment to all those within the intelligence network, a.s.sured them of future acquisitions of similar estates. These properties were earmarked for their families residence and as retirement havens.

Antic.i.p.ating the inevitable outrage from palace insiders upon the revelation of the secrets dissemination, Su Bin understood that they would likely be accused as the culprits behind the leak.

In preparation, he decided to take refuge on the farm well in advance, s.h.i.+elding himself from potential capture and mitigating numerous uncertainties.

While at the farm, Su Bin anxiously awaited positive updates from Qin Zhenzhen, confident that she wouldnt disappoint him.

Simultaneously, Mr. Chen diligently relayed the latest developments to Su Bin..
