"This hurts me."

Li Chen turned his head and said to Su Jinpa, "It feels like you don't care at all."

Su Jinpa frowned, her beautiful brows creasing together. "Your heart is troubled," she said.

Li Chen was taken aback for a moment and chuckled lightly, "This topic change is a bit too abrupt."

"It's not me changing the subject."

Su Jinpa turned around and faced Li Chen, saying: "Are you deliberately looking for topics to distract yourself There's something heavy on your mind, isn't there"

Su Jinpa's gaze was not aggressive, it could even be said to be very peaceful and clear.

But it was just too clear, to the point that Li Chen felt like those eyes were like a mirror.

He laid bare his dirty, selfish, and dark heart for all to see.

He could have stopped the three treasures.

But in order to solidify his own power, he turned a blind eye.

even fanned the flames.

Just now, in the sleeping hall, did you think that last sentence through It seemed to give Sanzang a chance to regret, but it actually cut off all of Sanzang's hopes.

The Three Treasures, a loyal servant.

But he had to die.

He doesn't die, the great emperor isn't at ease, does he even truly rest easy himself

Li Chen was unsure.

Before, he thought that after ascending the throne as planned, he would hand over power to the Three Treasures, giving them a peaceful retirement, and everyone would be happy.

But if that day really came, would you be like the Great Emperor, huh

Everything is a mystery.

But Li Chen knew that after today, he had truly changed.

became more like a great emperor.

To be emperor, one must be ruthless.

This sentence echoed in his ears, making Li Chen feel a bit suffocated.

Li Chen's silence seemed to make Su Jinpa understand something. She spoke softly, "Power is like a mountain. The higher you climb, the better the view. Perhaps the people who accompany you on the climb become fewer and fewer. Until the very top, there is only one person's place. Everyone wants to go up, so the initial companions who shared the view become enemies."

“It's said that emperors are lonely individuals, and since ancient times, only kings have been referred to as solitary and widowed. After the first emperor unified the world, he started calling himself 'Yue Guan,' meaning 'moonlit passes.' But ultimately, the higher you climb, the colder it gets. If you aspire to that position, you must accept everything it brings, both good and bad.”

Su Jinpa's words shocked Li Chen.

He even suspected that Su Jinpa might have been crossed by a soul from the future right now.

But he knew that was impossible.

"I understand, thank you."

Li Chen said to Su Jin with sincerity.

Su Jinpa shook her head, turned her head to silently watch the heavy rain outside, and said nothing more.

She seems to be born averse to such occasions, but alas, she is born into them and can only endure.

Her struggles, only she understands.

Li Chen perhaps also understands, but now he doesn't have so much time to dwell on romantic entanglements.

"Chen Tong."

After Su Jinpa's unconventional guidance, Li Chen, although not completely at peace, had managed to pull his thoughts and energy away from that meaningless self-torture.

Hearing Li Chen's call, Chen Tong immediately appeared behind him.

Immediately, you resume your position as Commander of the Jinyiwei in the Dongchang. For now, you will be temporarily overseeing the Dongchang.

A light, airy remark stunned Chen Tong and left all the officials present speechless. They were divided: half their minds were focused on the emperor's condition in the palace, the other half on observing Li Chen's words and actions.ples, feeling a headache that intensified after his outing today. His nose felt congested, making breathing difficult and uncomfortable.Although he thought about his interaction with Zhao Xuange today...
