"It's precisely because I don't know, that I have been busy investigating, neglecting you, my dear wife."
"Have you found anything?"
"Not yet! The old Emperor is very cunning, probably thinking of seizing military power."
The Emperor has had this intention for a long time; Long Rui is very aware of the Emperor's thoughts. He also understands very well that without military power as a shield, the Emperor might ruthlessly attack him without hesitation.
Thus, he absolutely won't hand over military power. Holding onto it not only serves as a tool of power but, more importantly, as a talisman of survival. With it, the Emperor wouldn't dare act recklessly against the War Prince's Mansion.
Xuexue is very clear about Long Rui's situation. She has been pondering deeply these days. Even if Long Rui wanted to retire bravely, the Emperor still wouldn't let him go. Rather than that, why not rebel against the Emperor and seize the throne herself.
"Big Bull."
"Hmm?"
