Chapter 118: Ten Sides Ambush

Tenghuan hastily interjected, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. This place is not a suitable place for interrogation. It's better to return to the imperial court first, hand Jiang Z...Chapter 118: Ten Sides Ambush

Seeing Li Chen so domineering and direct, Su Jinpa gritted her teeth and turned to chase after him, saying, "Your Highness, doesn't a loving relationship between two people require both parties to be willing If it's forced, how can it possibly compare to Your Highness's elegance"

"Do not try to provoke this palace with your words."

Li Chen came to the pavilion and sat down. He raised his hand and gently caressed the qin that Su Jinpa was still playing. With a calm expression, he said: "As for me, so-called feelings are nothing but empty talk. I am the Crown Prince, and you are the Crown Princess. When he ascends the throne as Emperor next year, you will become the Empress Dowager of the Great Qin Empire. This is your destiny. It was predetermined from the moment you were born into the General's Mansion, and you cannot change it."

As for those so-called love affairs, this palace has no desire to speak of them.

Su Jinpa was furious, and said angrily: "But this doesn't conform to what Jinpa has in mind for love!"

"Does anyone care"

Li Chen smiled wryly.

In his eyes, Su Jinpa was a typical naive and innocent person who had never been hardened by the realities of society.

"The poet Yuan Zhen of the previous dynasty once wrote "Ever since I crossed the Cang Sea, water has seemed shallow; ever since I met you, there is no mountain like Mount Wu." These lines have moved countless people after him. Jin Pa, this palace asks you, judging solely from this poem, could it be said that Yuan Zhen and his deceased wife were deeply in love"

Su Jinpa nodded readily. "Of course."

"But before he met his wife, he had an affair with the renowned courtesan Cui Yingying. Afterwards, he also became involved with the talented Xue Tao and the actress Liu Caichun, who was already married. What excuse could Jinpa possibly have for this" Li Chen asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Su Jinpa was taken aback, then said coldly, "I only thought he was a heartless man."

"That's right, all men are heartbreakers."

Li Chen said calmly, "Then in this world, who can guarantee that they will always be consistent and loyal to you, giving you a love like two phoenixes flying together with vibrant wings, and two hearts connected by an invisible thread"

A pair of phoenixes with no colors fly together, their hearts connected by a single thought.

Su Jinpa's heart skipped a beat, feeling that each of the twelve characters in this sentence struck her heart deeply.

Isn't this exactly the kind of love she craved, a person who could truly understand her heart

No matter how many ripples were in his heart, Su Jinpa still retorted: "Of course!"

"Seeing Su Jinpa start using a woman's talent skill so unreasonably, Li Chen calmly said: 'If there really is one, then this palace will kill it. One to kill one, two to kill a pair, so there won't be any left.'"

Su Jinpa said angrily, "Your Highness, you're being unreasonable!"

"That's called reality."

Li Chen didn't argue any further, he changed the subject and said, "What did you just play"

"Ten Directions Ambush."

Su Jinpa didn't want to pay attention to Li Chen, but then she thought that Li Chen was not an ordinary son of a wealthy family. If she ignored him coldly, she was afraid that she would be the one who suffered a loss. After weighing it carefully, she still honestly gave him an answer.

"The story behind the Battle of Gaixia between Han and Chu armies is well known to this palace."

"Speaking of which, Li Chen sneered and said: “The world says Liu Bang was a wise ruler and Xiang Yu a hero, but in the context of former Qin, they were both rebels. Although the former Qin dynasty fell due to tyranny, these two weren't anything good either. The current Qin Dynasty will crush the ambitions of all rebellious elements before they can blossom."

Su Jinpa's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. She sat down and asked, "Your Highness, is there something you're not saying Has something happened"sending them to the military camp wasn't such a bad thing after all.This kind of behavior will only lead to trouble sooner or later. It's better to join the army and endure some hardships than to cont...
