s Mind CollapsesThis way, Su Jinpa would no longer eat the food that Li Chen passed her, only eating those few vegetables she knew....However, she doesn't really have much choice.Two people had a meal...Chapter 120: It's Not Up To You

"Your Highness, why do you look at me like that"

Su Jinpa felt a little uncomfortable under Li Chen's gaze and asked.

"It's nothing."

Li Chen shook his head and said, "Your idea is very good."

Su Jinpa pursed her lips and smiled, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes, but she still said, "I'm just offering another perspective. It's not easy to put into practice. The size of the rebel army needs to be carefully controlled, and we also need to keep it secret from the court and especially Zhao Xuanji. Every one of these things is difficult, and a slight mistake could lead to complete failure."

"It's alright, this palace knows what to do."

Li Chen waved his hand and said.

At this moment, Su Zhen'ting had hurried back on horseback.

"Dad!"

When Su Zhen Ting came back, Su Jin Pa immediately went up to meet him.

Su Zhendong merely nodded, then clasped his fists and bowed to Li Chen: "I have met Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

Li Chen's heart felt light, and he stood up with a smile. "General Su, I have something important to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhen Ting immediately became serious and said, "Your Highness, please move to the inner sanctum. It's absolutely safe there."

Li Chen got up and went to the secret room with Su Zhen Ting. Su Jin Pa knew they were about to discuss something important, and she also wanted to participate in this top-secret power struggle within the empire, but she was glared at by Su Zhen Ting.

Su Jinpa was so angry that she stomped her feet.

An hour later, Li Chen exited the General's Mansion in high spirits and quietly returned to the East Palace under the tight protection of the Imperial Guard.

And over here, Su Jinpa arrived before Su Zhen'ting.

"Your Highness, in the past ten sentences, five of them didn't leave you. They were all words of praise for you." Su Zhen Ting took a sip of water and said.

Su Jinpa let out a soft hum and said with a hint of triumph, "Your daughter is remarkably gifted. It's only natural that His Highness would be impressed."

Su Zheting said faintly, “I have already discussed with His Highness. In a month’s time, someone from the palace will come to deliver the matchmaker’s letter and betrothal gifts. I have agreed.”

Su Jinpa's eyes widened, and she exclaimed urgently, "I don't want to!"

"This is not up to you."

Su Zhendong rebuked, "It's because I've been too indulgent with you that you've developed this lawless disposition. In the future, once you enter the East Palace and become the Crown Princess, you must rein in your temper. You must put your husband first and the prince above all else."

"I won't!"

Su Jinpa gasped, "None of you ever asked me if I agreed or disagreed! I refuse to be trapped in the palace for my entire life. Your Highness can find any woman you want, why must you choose me"

"Because you are Su Zhen Ting's daughter."

Su Zhenning's face turned cold, and he emphasized again: "This is not up to you."

Su Jinpa heard this phrase repeatedly, becoming increasingly exasperated.

"But Su Zhen'ing had already spoken ahead, "When the treacherous officials in the court are eliminated in the future and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, I will retire completely, and your older brother, Su Pingbei, will inherit the family business."

"Earlier, there was Zhao Xuanji and Empress Zhao Qinglan. What do you think With the prince's personality, will he allow another Su Zhening and Empress Su Jinpa after he ascends the throne"

Su Zhen'ting said solemnly, "This is for the long-term consideration of the Su family. I withdraw, handing over military power to Your Highness. Only then can the Su family enjoy lasting peace and prosperity. As for you, you are the royal family's compensation to the Su family, a match between one family and another, inheriting the title of Marquis of Champion, is an immense honor."

Su Jinpa bit her lips tightly, her face full of reluctance.

Su Zhendong sighed and got up, saying: “Think it over carefully. In this matter, no one will ask you if you are willing or not. The Crown Prince is a rare talent, his intelligence and skill are unparalleled. He wouldn't mistreat you.”nji as angrily as he had Wang Tenghuan. Instead, he looked at him calmly."So, in your opinion, Your Majesty should pretend not to hear or see, for the sake of so-called peace between the two countries...
