As expected, Su Bin chose not to disclose the details to Qin Zhenzhen.

Qin Zhenzhen joined him, observing as he enjoyed the snacks she had prepared.

Seeing others relish the food she meticulously crafted brought a sense of satisfaction to Qin Zhenzhen as well.

How is it? she inquired.

Its delicious. Anything cooked by my wife is delightful. Just seeing you puts me in a good mood, Su Bin expressed warmly.

Amused, Qin Zhenzhen asked, Are you in a good mood now?

Su Bin grinned. Much better.

Despite the smile, Qin Zhenzhen detected a certain ruthlessness in his eyes, indicating that someone had managed to provoke him.

It was likely related to news from the palace.

Just when Qin Zhenzhen believed Su Bin wouldnt reveal the cause of his anger, he chose to share.

The despicable emperor is still trying to repulse people before his demise!

I truly dont understand. How could the royal family give birth to such a scoundrel?

Qin Zhenzhen listened attentively, hoping that Su Bin would confide in her and not keep it bottled up, as it could adversely affect his well-being.

Convinced that Su Bin wouldnt conceal anything from her, he continued, Wife, I didnt initially want to burden you with this. I feared it would disgust you.

But I also realize that if I keep it to myself, youll surely overthink it.

Wife, you probably think its detrimental to your health if I keep my anger to myself. Instead of letting you worry, Id rather share it with you, Su Bin expressed, maintaining his talkative nature when facing Qin Zhenzhen.

Qin Zhenzhen, once again amused, remarked, I knew youd tell me sooner or later.

Tell me, what caused you, usually so calm and composed, to drop a cup? This cup is worth five taels of silver.

Hearing this, Su Bin immediately hugged Qin Zhenzhen. Wife, I regret it!

Its all because of that foolish emperor!

The news from the palace revealed that the empress refused to see the emperor, and the emperor was denied access to the little crown prince and even the Empress Dowager.

The emperors breakdown was apparent, understanding that the exposure of the poisoning of the crown prince had led to this dire situation.

Lord State Duke regarded him as if he were already dead, knowing that his demise was imminent. Despite his reluctance, he was powerless to resist. Initially, the emperor vented his anger on those around him, many of whom were affiliated with the Public House. Although he found a perverse pleasure in killing them, Lord State Duke remained indifferent.

The more deranged the emperor became, the more justification they had to eliminate him. Even in death, the eunuchs and palace maids would likely celebrate.

The emperor ceased killing people but turned to abusing the beauties who resembled Qin Zhenzhen, treating them as slaves and dogs.

He even arranged a meeting with Lord State Duke to express a certain request.

I know you want to kill me!

I am aware that, no matter what I do, I am destined to die!

I accept my fate!

Lord State Duke sneered, If you were obedient, you wouldnt find yourself in this situation!

Had the emperor been compliant, refraining from causing frequent trouble or conspiring with the Empress Dowager against them, they might have allowed him to live a bit longer. However, the emperors disobedience and escalating madness, culminating in his attempt to poison his own flesh and blood, compelled them to take action sooner.

Acting prematurely decreased their chances of success, and more lives might be sacrificed. Nevertheless, they were still confident in their ability to prevail.

The Emperor laughed maniacally, So what if Im obedient? I still cant escape death!

Ive already stated that I accept my fate!

But I am not convinced!
