Chapter 953: The Han Royal Family’s Fate Has Come to an End

Jiang Hanyi’s face showed hesitation, unsure of how to express himself.

Although the Jiang Family were wealthy merchants, their good relationship with the Yu Family allowed them some insight into internal affairs.

Yu Shuo, Wanqi Jingyi, Wanqi Heyang, and An Mingji all had a look of understanding on their faces.

An Mingji swept a glance over everyone’s faces, as if wanting to speak, then said, "Let me explain."

He sat on the edge of the sofa where Gu Jin was sitting, gazing at her with tender eyes, filled with infinite softness and longing.

The young man’s voice was clear and low: "The influence of the Four Great Families in Beijing is not as strong as it once was. The Royal Han Family is likely at its end. They must be entangled with the people from the Short Country. The Four Great Families have always known that the Short Country people refine puppets. The only reason they haven’t taken action is because they have traced it back to the Han Family.

The Mu Family, Yin Family, and Wanqi Family have always been subordinate to the Royal Family. If the Han Family is indeed involved with the people from the Short Country, they will definitely waver from their original intentions. No one can forgive the outrageous crimes once committed by the people from the Short Country.

This is the news I received some days ago. If the Han Royal Family learns of your abilities, and that you have gathered the forces of the two Great Families in Beijing, they might turn against you, Ah Jin."

Gu Jin’s face was shocked; the involvement of the Short Country people with the Royal Family was really... surprising.

She touched her chin, appearing completely at ease: "The Royal Family really can’t tolerate me?"

As she saw it, she didn’t possess any great skills, just a higher level of cultivation and a few noble disciples. She didn’t have the power to overturn the skies or disturb the families in Beijing and the Royal Family.

An Mingji shook his head: "Ah Jin, do you still remember a few years ago when you personally crippled Crown Prince Han Yibin?"

Upon mentioning this person, Gu Jin was momentarily stunned, then nodded: "I remember."

An Mingji: "The Royal Family has never given up on investigating the Crown Prince’s downfall over the years. They have already gained control over the waitstaff who witnessed everything at the club back then."

Gu Jin: "I remember making everyone present take the Forgetful Pill back then."

"Indeed, but there might be changes yet."

An Mingji’s deep eyes gleamed with a thread of coldness.

If the Royal Family truly targets Ah Jin, he certainly wouldn’t stand by idly and would resolve potential dangers.

The Han Family’s collaboration with the people from the Short Country indicates that this family’s fate is sealed. Replacing a ruler would align with the wishes of many.

Gu Jin looked pensive: "Beijing might descend into chaos within a few years."

"Precisely." Wanqi Jingyi concurred wholeheartedly.

He entered and exited the Chen Palace every day, most aware of the insider details, including those of the Mu Family and the Yin Family.

Since the Crown Prince was crippled, the Royal Family had become increasingly unreasonable.

Or perhaps they always harbored unknown ambitions; otherwise, why collaborate with the Short Country people, whom they have a death-dealing enmity with?

Even if the Royal Family stood at a high position, they still wanted to control everything and hold exclusive power.

But since ancient times, power has never belonged solely to one family. Even ancient Emperors required a balanced distribution of influences.

This news caught Gu Jin somewhat off guard.

In her previous life, during decades of memory, Beijing had always been very stable; the Four Great Families hadn’t encountered any issues, and everything was very peaceful.

In her previous life, at this time, she had never heard anything about any rift between the Royal Family and the Four Great Families.

Perhaps it was because her position in her previous life was not high, and even if something happened, she did not understand the inside story.

An Mingji gazed at the pondering expression on Gu Jin’s face, his brows slightly arched, and his sensual lips curled into a dazzling smile.
