one hand on the soft armrest and the other on the backrest. He leaned closer to Zhao Qinglan, gazing into her crystal-clear eyes, and said, "I'm thinking, should we take advantage of this great oppor...Chapter 1022: Jealousy

It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or not, but the dust from the Louvre flew over and landed just in front of the chariot where Su Jinpa stood.

was right by the feet of that official from the Ministry of Rites.

The dust from the Louvre settled, and with a dull thud came a mouthful of blood, spat right onto the face of the official from the Ministry of Rites. The latter was terrified, scrambling everywhere and screaming his head off.

He seems to have been injured worse than the Louvre.

But no one cared how terrified and wretched the official of the Ministry of Rites felt at this moment.

Su Jinpa stared coldly at Lu Fuchen, who was lying face up on the ground. The latter seemed to sense something and turned his head with difficulty to look at Su Jinpa.

"One reaps what one sows."

Su Jin's indifferent six words gradually dimmed the light in Lu Fuchen's eyes.

"Bring him a swift end."

Su Jin's command rang out, and Chen Tong, covered in blood from head to toe, flew forward. He was also wounded at this time, but not seriously enough to affect his combat ability.

"Yes, sir."

Chen Tong's attitude was respectful, but as soon as he turned around, a cruel smile appeared on his face. With lightning speed, he drew his sword and killed Lu Fengchen, who had only appeared for less than three episodes.

He crouched down and grabbed the head of Luofuchen, and Chen Tong let out a fierce shout filled with inner strength that echoed throughout the arena.

"The leader of the thieves, Lu Fuchen's head is here! Surrender now!"

This earsplitting shriek became the last straw that broke the rebel's psychological defenses on this small battlefield.

The rebels fled, some surrendered, and the entire scene was instantly brought under control.

He Kun came before Su Jinpa, his expression extremely respectful and humble, saying: "Your servant He Kun has met the Princess Consort."

To make matters worse, He Kun's position was half a step ahead of Chen Tong.

It was this half-step distance that made Chen Tong slant his eyes at He Kun.

As for He Kun, this newly promoted popular figure in the East Palace, Chen Tong naturally knew him. He had even personally arranged for He Kun's information to be presented to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He only thought He Kun was just a errand boy for the prince at first, but now he realizes he's actually a flatterer.

Hmph! A spineless wretch, look at that fawning posture, wishing to kneel down and serve the Princess as a stool. It's truly a shame for our integrity!

Chen Tong looked down on He Kun in his heart, but on the surface he didn't show it at all. He cupped his hands and asked: "Princess Consort, were you frightened"

He Kun slightly turned his head to glance at Chen Tong, only to find that he hadn't expected this deputy commander of the Jinyiwei to be a flatterer as well.

Their eyes met, each letting out a snort of disdain in their hearts and mentally labeling the other as a flatterer.

Su Jinping shook her head and said, "How are the situations in other parts of the inner city"

He Kun's face tightened, about to speak, but Chen Tong interrupted him, "Replying to Your Highness the Crown Princess, rebel troops are appearing everywhere. They have a large number of well-equipped and highly trained soldiers. Many places have already fallen. But please rest assured, Your Highness the Crown Princess, all members of the Jinyiwei will do their utmost to protect you with our last breath. As long as I am still alive, no one can harm you!"

He Kun's face turned sour after being robbed. Hearing Chen Tong's words, he said with a disgusted expression, “Chen Tunzhi, your words are quite off-base. The loyalty of the Jinyi Guards to His Highness the Crown Prince and Her Highness the Crown Princess is evident to all, but their abilities are just average. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Imperial Guards, something terrible might have happened by now.”

"You!"

Chen Tong was furious and turned his head to retort, but the facts were undeniable. This left him with a mouthful of anger he couldn't vent, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "At least I fought tooth and nail, what about you You just rode around and picked up the easy stuff"i asked impassively, “Are there any other ministers or military commanders in the capital who have been arrested and killed”The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I haven't received any news on...
