Observing Su Bin’s contemplative expression, Qin Zhenzhen suspected that he disagreed with her earlier statements. Feeling a tinge of disappointment, she decided to address the issue:
“You don’t have to dwell on my previous words. After all, our divorce is inevitable.”
“Once we’re divorced, you can marry as many women as you please.”
Su Bin promptly conveyed his stance, saying, “I wholeheartedly concur with you. Since we’ve become husband and wife, both parties should remain
faithful. ”
Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback, and then, somewhat embarrassed, she added, “It’s a positive sign that you share this perspective. In due course, you’ll come to appreciate the advantages of monogamy.”
“Let’s 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 Emperor’s interest in you has taken an inappropriate turn, more akin to primal desires.”
“Afterward, the Emperor protected both you and your grandmother’s 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 wouldn’t dare cross that line.” Su Bin shook his head. “You’re only aware of half the story.”
“It’s precisely because His Majesty knows you’re a married woman that he withdrew his initial intentions. However, if he discovers that we didn’t truly consummate our marriage, his thoughts may take a different turn.”
“What if he were to discover your unique constitution that could be of benefit to him? Do you think he might reconsider?”
Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. “Are you suggesting that my grandmother’s eldest sister might reveal to the emperor that I possess a unique constitution?”
Su Bin nodded. “Only the Jiang Family is aware of this special constitution 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 constitution 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 won’t be sufficient to avert the crisis. I do have a plan that might prove useful, but…
Qin Zhenzhen inquired urgently, “What is your plan? Don’t keep me in suspense. It’s quite distressing!”
Only then did Su Bin reveal, “Then let’s proceed with the charade. What if we were to spend the night together tonight?”
Qin Zhenzhen’s face flushed crimson. “Absolutely not!”
Su Bin was definitely trying to sneak a peek at her beauty!
Despite his undeniable charm, she couldn’t bring herself to engage in such an intimate act before they had truly formed a deep connection..
