Even between a biological father and daughter, there is a difference in status. Su Zhetong still has to show respect first.

Su Jinpa stood up and said, "Father, you don't need to be so polite."

Li Chen yawned and got up from the soft couch, walking towards the dining table. "This is the inner court, not the outer court. We are all family here, no ruler and subject. The General is your father-in-law, so there's no need to be so formal."

After the three people sat down, they began to eat.

Su Jinpa personally ladled a bowl of porridge for Su Zhetong and said softly, "Father, you have old injuries on your body, but you like to drink alcohol and eat meat. This millet and sweet potato porridge is best for clearing heat and resolving blood stasis. You should eat more."

Su Zhentig took both hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Jinpa heard the address and sighed softly. She knew that some things, once changed, were different and could never return to what they were.

So she no longer pressed the issue.

"Father, with my elder brother and I away from home, you must take good care of yourself. No matter how busy your official duties are, your health always comes first."

Li Chen also said, "That makes sense... The general has an injury Is it related Has he seen a doctor"

Su Zhen Ting replied: "The injuries from years ago have already healed, but there are some aftereffects left. It's not a big problem."

Li Chen said, “I’ll ask Zhang Hezhi to visit you later and prescribe some medicine. Also, please bring back some millet and sweet potatoes from the East Palace. Millet is easy to buy, but sweet potatoes are not very common right now. Have the kitchen make a porridge with them every morning for you to drink. Jin Pa is right; no matter what, your health is the most important.”

Su Zhen Ting hurriedly said, "Don't go to so much trouble..."

"Okay."

Li Chen said, "We're family, what's there to hesitate about"

Su Zhentig chuckled wryly and said, "Then, this minister can only thank Your Highness and Her Majesty."

Li Chen nodded and took a sip of porridge, saying: "Zhang Biwu's matter, the general and this palace cooperated quite tacitly."

Su Zhen-ting smiled and said, "Zhang Biwu is a nail that His Highness wants to plant beside Zhao Xuanji. I would naturally not oppose it. The main reason is that His Highness is about to leave the capital soon, and I still need to find a way to distract Zhao Xuanji's attention."

Li Chen said, "Now our governor is probably racking his brains thinking about whether the real conflict between me and the general happened in the Hall of Precepts just now, or if it was all a performance for him."

Su Zhen said: "No matter how he thinks, as long as he has planted a seed, it will naturally sprout."

"For someone like Zhao Xuanji, acting too realistically would be counterproductive and lackluster. It's the genuine yet deceptive nature, the ambiguity that truly gets under his skin."

Li Chen smirked and said, "The general is right. However, we don't need to pay too much attention to him. What he cares about most right now is consolidating his power. And the prerequisite for that is a stable government and a peaceful society. So he won't bother us for now."

"The real challenge now lies in the northwest."

Northwest, that is where Yueya Guan and King Ning reside.

Su Zhen Ting of course understood Li Chen's meaning. He hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Highness truly intends to personally lead the army"

Serve in the army.

These two words immediately caught Su Jinping's attention.

Even now, she still doesn't know Li Chen's plans.

Li Chen nodded and said, "What was said in the Xizheng Hall wasn't a momentary impulse from this palace. This trip is a must for this palace, and it can only be done by this palace."p.
