st of shouts and then everything went quiet.Li Chen came back alive, which means he's almost finished."Your Highness, the gauze for stopping the bleeding is already soaked through. Allow me to change...Chapter 1012 Thank You

Dressed in a heavy and cumbersome formal attire, Li Chen's face was stiff as a marionette. Within the allotted time, he left his home with a predetermined expression, boarded the carriage in a prescribed manner, and then the carriage slowly set off along its designated route.

The moment Li Chen's carriage began to move, the music started.

The imperial prince's wedding has officially begun.

From the East Palace to the Phoenix Palace, Li Chen could walk it with his eyes closed.

But every time he walked this road before, Li Chen never thought it was so troublesome and slow.

Everywhere you look, officials, palace maids and eunuchs are bustling about, each with a smile on their face, as if everyone were happy.

Li Chen's gaze swept across, but his heart was not at peace.

For he knew that Zhao Xuanji could strike at any moment.

The entire capital city seemed to be in celebration, but beneath the merriment lay a sense of danger that the empire had never known before.

Currently at the Great General's Mansion.

It is equally festive.

The commoners bustled about, passing each other with smiles on their faces.

Just now they received red envelopes equivalent to almost a year's salary, it's impossible not to be happy.

While in Su Jinpa's boudoir, Su Jinpa sat before the dressing mirror, allowing the female court official who had come from the palace to apply her makeup.

Looking at herself in the mirror, dressed in a bright and beautiful wedding gown, Su Jinpa couldn't bring herself to smile.

At this moment, Su Pingbei in military attire appeared in the mirror behind Su Jinpa.

"You seem a little down," Su Pingbei said.

Su Jinpa's eyes glanced at Su Pingbei in the mirror, but she remained silent.

Supingbei sighed with emotion: "Time flies, doesn't it I remember when you were little, you always followed me around begging to play with me. But I didn't like taking you along, thinking you were a nuisance."

"Back then, the whole house was filled with your brother's voice. I would purposely hide so you couldn't find me, and after shaking you off, I'd let you cry and wail while I laughed my head off. All I felt was that it was amusing to make you cry."

Listening to Su Pingbei's words, Su Jinping's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

"I shrug and spread my hands. Su Pingbei says, 'But then you grew up a little and didn't want to find me anymore. Maybe you also felt that I only bullied you. You started reading, those poems and verses that I hate the most. Slowly, the difference between you and me grew bigger and bigger.'"

“You’re becoming more and more intelligent and graceful, while I’m still a carefree good-for-nothing, making father worry.”

"I still remember the words my father often said, 'If I had half your diligence, he would laugh even with his eyes closed.'"

Supingbei wore a look of reminiscence on his face as he said, "When I was a bit older, I learned to cause trouble outside. Every time I got into trouble and came back, I didn't dare tell my father, so I could only come to you for help. You helped me out with ideas time and time again, covering for me, which saved me from untold amounts of suffering."

"Speaking of which, I still owe you a thank you."

Su Pingbei sighed and said, "But I haven't even said thank you yet, and you're getting married. After today, if we see each other again, I'll have to address you as the Crown Princess."

Su Jinpa frowned slightly and said, "You know I don't like to hear this."

"Whether you like it or not, these are facts."

Su Pingbei's face was unusually serious. He said, "Today, my younger sister got married. She married the most honorable husband in the world. Now you are the Crown Princess, and in the future, you will be the Empress."Chapter 1298: Military Power
