Chapter 610: Focus
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Bin rose from his seat anxiously. “A disaster is imminent?”
Governor Li also stood and gently urged Su Bin back into his chair. “Governor
Su, don’t panic. Lord State Duke has temporarily contained this situation.”
Then, Governor Li proceeded to recount the events transpiring in the royal court.
Su Bin sighed with relief. “So, the emperor intends to transferback to the capital. I don’t quite comprehend. It seems like a favorable development. Why would it be a disaster?”
Governor Li scrutinized Su Bin. In this moment, he considered that the old duke’s judgment of Su Bin as a smart and astute individual might hold true.
How could Su Bin fail to recognize the blatant trap set by the new emperor?

To his surprise, Su Bin continued, “It’s not that I can’t make seducated guesses, but I dare not presume. Governor Li, please enlighten me!”
Governor Li reevaluated his perception of Su Bin. It appeared that Su Bin’s caution exceeded his initial estimation.
No longer beating around the bush, Governor Li disclosed the nature of the trap set by the new emperor.
“As I mentioned earlier, the emperor is vindictive. He believes that the mishap involving the fifth princess is somehow connected to you and your wife.”
“The fifth princess has already suffered severe mental distress, rendered unrecognizable by her torment.”
“The emperor personally informed Lord State Duke that, upon your return to the capital, his primary motive is to have Mrs. Su treat the fifth princess.”
“Considering the fifth princess’s incurable condition, the emperor intends to exploit this situation as grounds for your punishment and execution, seeking retribution for the fifth princess. Meanwhile, Mrs. Su will be confined within the palace indefinitely.”
With the details laid bare, Su Bin could no longer feign ignorance. His expression shifted noticeably.
“How could His Majesty do this! How can he blme for something that happened to the fifth princess?”
Governor Li responded casually, “Throughout history, if the ruler desires my demise, I have no recourse but to face it.’
“Fortunately, Lord State Duke intervened.”
“Following that, Lord State Duke and the emperor had a falling out over this issue.”
“Do you comprehend Lord State Duke’s implications, Governor Su?”
Su Bin shook his head. “I’m not entirely sure.”
“I only know that Lord State Duke saved my life this time.”
“Will I always have to depend on the Public House for protection in the future?”
Governor Li nodded. “You’re correct.”
Su Bin appeared helpless. “Then, what should I do?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGovernor Li advised, “You don’t have to take any drastic actions. Just refrain from opposing the Public House.”
“If it comes to light that you are involved with the Third Prince or secretly forming your own faction, don’t blthe Public House for being unable to safeguard you!”
“Remember, the Public House is not only safeguarding the Su family but also the Qin family and Qin Silong in the military camp!”
“If you betray the trust of the Public House, I won’t need to elaborate on the consequences!”
Having issued these warnings, Governor Li’s tone softened again.
“As long as you stay in line, the Public House will ensure your protection.”
After a pause, Su Bin inquired, “Simply stay in line?”
Governor Li cleared his throat. “There’s one more thing. Lord State Duke indicates that the Public House’s expenses are exceedingly high. If there’s ever a delay in fund transfers, Governor Su must be prepared to borrow money for the transfer.’
This was the crux of the matter!
Su Bin scoffed inwardly.
Externally, he wore an expression of feigned helplessness. “Engaging in business is challenging in the current climate. Many are swayed by market trends. We can only reduce profit margins, making the cash flow a bit constrained.”
“If Lord State Duke extends a substantial loan, I fear there’s little we can do about it either..”
