"They didn't dare to state it explicitly because they couldn't formulate the antidote and were afraid of losing their heads!"
"The primary reason for transferring Su Bin back to the capital is to compel Qin Zhenzhen to provide the antidote!"
The new emperor believed he had a justifiable cause, but the old duke responded sternly.
"Even if we bring Su Bin back to the capital, Mrs. Su won't accompany him, considering she recently gave birth to a son!"
This revelation angered the new emperor.
"So what if she won't?!"
"Is she daring enough to defy an imperial edict and refrain from entering the palace?"
He was curious to witness Qin Zhenzhen's postpartum state. Would it render him powerless?
"As the supreme ruler, can't I handle a woman?!"
He asserted his authority as the emperor, refusing to tolerate any inconvenience.
