Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When the Crown Prince paid Su Bin a visit, Su Bin continued his facade of mediocrity while feigning respect and apprehension. Initially, he suspected the Crown Prince’s motives centered on his wife, given that the Crown Prince had already set his eyes on Qin Zhenzhen during her time in the palace.

Su Bin had taken the initiative to investigate the Crown Prince’s character, making it challenging to dismiss concerns of potential ill intentions.

However, it didn’t take long for Su Bin to realize that the Crown Prince’s interests weren’t solely focused on his wife. Rather, he was making an effort to ingratiate himself with Su Bin. This perplexed Su Bin; after all, he was merely a Cultivated Talent, so what could the Crown Prince possibly seek from him?

After the Crown Prince’s departure, Su Bin promptly discussed with Qin Zhenzhen their plan to depart for Meijiang Prefecture City. He understood that, for the time being, it was best not to antagonize the Crown Prince and instead keep a safe distance.

Qin Zhenzhen was quick to grasp the Crown Prince’s intentions and readily agreed to leave the capital.

On their way back to the Crown Prince’s residence, the Crown Prince couldn’t shake off thoughts of Qin Zhenzhen’s voice and smile. Seeing her again had only heightened her beauty in his eyes.

Upon returning to his residence, the Crown Prince grew increasingly uneasy. His servant, Xiao Liuzi, offered some advice.

“Your Highness, I believe it’s not difficult to arrange a meeting with Miss Qin.

We can have one of the women in the residence feign illness and invite Miss

Qin over for a consultation.”

Xiao Liuzi hinted at a variety of potential schemes, from using aphrodisiacs in her food to luring her with knockout fragrances, and even resorting to force if necessary.

The Crown Prince, a highly skilled martial artist, believed that he could easily handle a woman. From the perspective of a married woman, he assumed that once he succeeded, Qin Zhenzhen would opt to suffer in silence to preserve her reputation.

In the Crown Prince’s mind, this plan was nothing short of brilliant, and he eagerly dispatched someone to invite Qin Zhenzhen in the afternoon.

However, to his dismay, he learned that Qin Zhenzhen and her companions had already departed for Meijiang Prefecture City in the morning.

The Crown Prince was on the verge of sending someone to pursue them when his aide, Mr. Huang, intervened urgently. “Your Highness, please reconsider your actions!”

“The Crown Prince is destined to become the Emperor. There are limits to what you can and cannot do. Please weigh your choices carefully.”

Mr. Huang’s words carried a distinct undertone of admonition, and the Crown Prince remained silent.

Mr. Huang had been assigned to him by his grandfather, and out of respect for his grandfather’s wishes, he paid heed to Mr. Huang’s counsel.

Mr. Huang continued to offer words of caution. “His Highness holds a lofty position. While he can have any woman he desires, Qin Zhenzhen is not an option. ”

“Firstly, Qin Zhenzhen is set to become the Marquis Mansion’s princess consort. Pursuing her would entail significant repercussions.”

“Secondly, Su Bin is no ordinary man. If he discovers that someone has harmed his wife, he may seek vengeance.”

“Thirdly, Qin Zhenzhen herself is not to be underestimated. She possesses skills in detoxification and poison. Are you willing to risk her seeking retribution

“Even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor ultimately chose to relinquish Qin Zhenzhen. Your Highness must be aware of the reasons behind their decision.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After Mr. Huang’s impassioned plea, the Crown Prince regretted his impulsive intentions.

Observing that the Crown Prince was heeding his counsel, Mr. Huang exerted his utmost effort to persuade him further.

“Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen are both exceptional individuals. If Your Highness extends goodwill toward them now, they could prove invaluable assets in the future.’

“However, should Your Highness persist in your current course, the repercussions could be severe.”

“There’s a widely circulated rumor that suggests those who wrong Qin Zhenzhen rarely meet favorable ends. Your Highness may choose to disregard it, but I believe it’s wiser to heed such caution.”

“Because sometimes, rumors have a basis in truth..”
