al power, even if it's just a tiny bit.""First, I will give you the capital to speak in court. Then, this old man will do his best to help you. In ten days, we shall settle everything in one decisive...Chapter 597 All I Can Give You

"Don't they understand this"

> "Almost all emperors, with the very few exceptions who unexpectedly ascended the throne due to family power struggles, were groomed for leadership from their youth. The lessons in their books, they knew by heart. It was easy to talk about these principles, but putting them into practice proved as difficult as reaching the heavens."

"As for this stir-frying of fresh seafood, how to do it How to choose ingredients and process them, how to cut and control the heat... All these questions, without failing hundreds of times, relying solely on oral experience passed down from others, is ultimately superficial."

Lowering her arms, Su Jinpa turned to Li Chen and said, "Let's go back tomorrow morning."

"What's wrong Are you going back early, even though it hasn't been two days yet" Li Chen asked curiously.

Su Jinpa smiled bitterly: “What’s the point of two days, even two months, or two years like this It's not my life after all, it doesn't belong to me. A fleeting attachment means nothing.”

"You've finally gotten it," Li Chen said with a smile.

Shaking her head, Su Jinpa calmly said: "It's not that I've figured it out, but rather that I've admitted to things I was unwilling to admit before. As you said, my birth and even my appearance have predetermined a life I cannot choose."

“I want a life of waking with the sunrise and resting with the sunset, a peaceful existence where men farm and women weave, but I know this is just a fantasy of mine.”

"The other day, I actually did have thoughts of running away from home. But then I thought, as long as I'm still within the borders of this Qin state, whether it's you or my father, you could easily find me. And based on what I know about you, if I were to really find someone to accompany me in a peaceful life, no matter who he was, you would kill him."

Li Chen nodded seriously and said, "You know me very well."

Su Jinpa glanced at Li Chen and continued, “So I abandoned that idea. Why hurt myself and others Besides, I don't even know if such a person exists. It takes both love and affection to be together, perhaps there are some in this world, but whether I can meet them is another matter. Even if I did meet them, you would kill them, adding only sadness. It wouldn't change my original fate, so why bother”

"Having seen Chen Shaohao today, I thought about how he and his wife must have been deeply in love before. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so devoted. But what about now People change, and there's no such thing as a perfect love."

"The same goes for you and me. I can't escape my fate, nor can you. This position of Prince Consort, or even the throne of Emperor that could come any moment – whether you want it or not, you're destined to walk towards it. Otherwise, you'll be met with death."

"So, let's just go back."

Su Jinpa lowered her head, her eyes dimmed, and said, "I accept my fate."

Su Jinpa finished speaking, but he waited for a long time without getting a response from Li Chen.

Just when she was in confusion, Li Chen's feet appeared before her lowered eyes.

Lowering himself, Li Chen lifted Su Jinpa's chin with his hand. Gazing at the peerless beauty before him, Li Chen said, "I can't give you a perfect love story that lasts forever. There's no need for me to deceive you about that."

Su Jinpa didn't speak.
