Chapter 475: Looking for Someone

Shortly thereafter, Su Bin received news from the palace.

Upon receiving Su Bin's anonymous letter, the Emperor contemplated the matter at length. Ultimately, he heeded Su Bin's counsel and managed to restrain his anger.

He summoned the Crown Prince to the palace and offered only mild criticism before pardoning the matter of the "private army" buildup.

However, Su Bin was cognizant of the fact that the Emperor might have quietly resolved to eliminate the Public House during his lifetime.

Su Bin's assessment was correct; that was indeed the Emperor's line of thinking.

Throughout his life as a prince, he had existed in the shadow of the Public House.

His mother, grandmother, and the former Empress Dowager had consistently impressed upon him the notion that if he aimed to secure his position, he needed to rely on the Public House.
