How Much Chance of Victory

Imperial Study

The Emperor and Empress were present, along with several commanders of the Imperial Guards, discussing affairs of state.

When Gregory Gu Jr. entered, the commanders had just received their orders and hurried out.

Gregory Gu Jr. stepped into the Imperial Study and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I humbly greet you."

Emperor Jin Xuan quickly replied, "Beloved Grand Tutor, please rise! If not for your secret report, I would still be kept in the dark by the Prince of Qin! That Alexander Hayes—he actually had his Princess Consort disguise herself as a man to open an academy! As a general with military power, he’s still not satisfied—he even wants to sneak his own faction into the ranks of the scholars, using such a covert method. I was nearly deceived by that couple!"

Gregory Gu Jr. replied, "It is a minister’s duty to ease Your Majesty’s worries. But Alexander Hayes is a crafty old fox, and he commands a powerful army. Capturing him will take considerable effort."

Emperor Jin Xuan said, "You need not worry, Grand Tutor. I have assembled enough men to surround both the Prince of Qin’s Manor and the Lin Residence. If Dr. Rowan Lin knows what’s good for him, he’ll stay out of this. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless—I’ll deal with the entire Lin family!"

Gregory Gu Jr. lowered his gaze, secretly delighted. He hadn’t forgotten how Alexander Hayes and Dr. Rowan Lin once teamed up to give him a thorough beating.

Gregory Gu Jr. was eager for the Emperor to deal with the Lin family this time!

"Grand Tutor, why don’t you wait here in the palace for good news?" Emperor Jin Xuan was confident about the attack on the Prince of Qin’s Manor. "Thanks to your secret report, I was able to catch them off guard! With Princess Lily Hayes detained in the palace, Alexander Hayes will surely lose his composure! Once we successfully wipe out the Prince of Qin’s Manor, I’ll reward you handsomely!"
