Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Observing Su Bins contemplative expression, Qin Zhenzhen suspected that he disagreed with her earlier statements. Feeling a tinge of disappointment, she decided to address the issue:

You dont have to dwell on my previous words. After all, our divorce is inevitable.

Once were divorced, you can marry as many women as you please.

Su Bin promptly conveyed his stance, saying, I wholeheartedly concur with you. Since weve become husband and wife, both parties should remain

faithful.

Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback, and then, somewhat embarra.s.sed, she added, Its a positive sign that you share this perspective. In due course, youll come to appreciate the advantages of monogamy.

Lets refocus on the matter at hand. Why exactly did you suggest we put on a charade in front of the old eunuch earlier?

It was clear that Qin Zhenzhen was steering the conversation in a different direction.

Su Bin set aside his thoughts and elaborated, I received information from the palace that the Emperors interest in you has taken an inappropriate turn, more akin to primal desires.

Afterward, the Emperor protected both you and your grandmothers lives in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, which has raised my concerns that he might intend to keep you in the palace.

Qin Zhenzhen countered, The Emperor saved our lives before Her Majesty the Queen Dowager because I had saved his life.

I acknowledge that the way he looked at me was unsettling, but I noticed that he reverted to his normal demeanor afterward. He must have realized that I am a married woman.

As the leader of the nation, he naturally upholds stringent standards for women. Even if he harbored intentions toward a married woman, it would remain nothing more than intentions.

When it comes to actual actions, they wouldnt dare cross that line. Su Bin shook his head. Youre only aware of half the story.

Its precisely because His Majesty knows youre a married woman that he withdrew his initial intentions. However, if he discovers that we didnt truly consummate our marriage, his thoughts may take a different turn.

What if he were to discover your unique const.i.tution that could be of benefit to him? Do you think he might reconsider?

Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. Are you suggesting that my grandmothers eldest sister might reveal to the emperor that I possess a unique const.i.tution?

Su Bin nodded. Only the Jiang Family is aware of this special const.i.tution within their lineage, and it has been kept a secret for quite some time. Using this secret as leverage with the emperor seems to be the only logical approach.

If she were to vividly describe the marvels of such a const.i.tution to the emperor, I suspect he would be reluctant to let you go.

He might find a pretext to retain you within the palace, perhaps without officially recognizing you as a consort. This way, his reputation remains untarnished, yet he retains the mental satisfaction.

Qin Zhenzhen furrowed her brows. So, what do we do then?

This predicament had been weighing on her mind throughout their discussion.

Their primary reason for leaving the palace this time was to strategize with Su Bin on how to handle the emperor, that lecherous old man.

Su Bin also appeared troubled. Merely putting on a facade in front of the old eunuch wont be sufficient to avert the crisis. I do have a plan that might prove useful, but

Qin Zhenzhen inquired urgently, What is your plan? Dont keep me in suspense. Its quite distressing!

Only then did Su Bin reveal, Then lets proceed with the charade. What if we were to spend the night together tonight?

Qin Zhenzhens face flushed crimson. Absolutely not!

Su Bin was definitely trying to sneak a peek at her beauty!

Despite his undeniable charm, she couldnt bring herself to engage in such an intimate act before they had truly formed a deep connection..
