Rong Qingqing blinked and slowly said, "A honey trap."
"Hmm?" Xie Jingrun's eyes narrowed unfriendly as he noticed her bright gaze when she mentioned the words "honey trap." "What are you trying to say?"
Rong Qingqing coughed lightly, but she didn't dare to say the words that he should use his looks to seduce Guo Li. Instead, she said tactfully, "Compared to Father, you are younger and more handsome. Anyone would choose you. If Guo Li couldn't resist seducing you and Father happened to see it, I believe Father would definitely give up on her."
Xie Jingrun felt somewhat pleased with what she had said earlier, but when he heard the second half of her sentence, his expression immediately darkened. "You're really that willing to part with me?"
Rong Qingqing: "..." What does this have to do with anything?
"This is just a temporary measure. Of course I'm reluctant to part with you, but don't you think it's the safest way? It will get rid of Guo Li, make Father Emperor give up, and avoid being blamed by him." The more she talked, the more feasible the method seemed.
"Why go through all that trouble? I'll just finish her off with one strike," Xie Jingrun said ruthlessly and brutally.
Rong Qingqing pursed her lips. "If it could be resolved with a single strike, you wouldn't have waited until now. In the end, you don't want to create a rift between you and Father Emperor because of someone like this." Xie Jingrun wouldn't have dragged it out until now if it could be resolved with a single strike. Because if he really killed Guo Li, it would likely incur the displeasure of Emperor Zhaojing, and then a rift would inevitably develop between father and son.
If Guo Li hadn't been brought into the palace by Emperor Zhaojing, Xie Jingrun would have had plenty of ways to make her disappear. But now that she's already in the palace, such methods are obviously not feasible. That's why she said that having Xie Jingrun seduce Guo Li is the safest approach.
Xie Jingrun admitted in his heart that her method was very good, but asking him to seduce a woman...
"Don't even think about it!" He categorically opposed the suggestion.
When Rong Qingqing heard him refuse, she frowned and said, "You don't have to do anything. Just go to the side room, take a look at Guo Li, and let her think that you are interested in her. You don't have to do anything else, and she will naturally take the bait."
Then, while she's being attentive to you, I'll arrange for my father to come over. If he sees her, he'll surely know Guo Li's indecent behavior and be greatly disappointed in her. Then I'll throw a tantrum and send her out of the palace; my father won't say anything then.
Hearing her confident tone, Xie Jingrun frowned deeply. "I won't do it."
Rong Qingqing was in the middle of her talk when she heard this, her expression froze, and she said angrily, "Why don't you do it? I didn't ask you to do anything."
"How could you even think of letting your husband seduce other women?" Xie Jingrun said with a gloomy expression.
"I already said it's just a temporary measure, and besides, I'm doing this for you, isn't it?" Rong Qingqing was very annoyed.
"In short, I won't agree to this. You'd better think of another way," Xie Jingrun said, leaving no room for negotiation.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
She felt that she had taken on a thankless and arduous task.
Who said they hated someone who had the same face as their mother and tried to get close to their father?
But who was she doing this for?
“I can’t hit him or scold him here, what other way is there?” she said defiantly.
Xie Jingrun leaned over and kissed her on the lips, patted her head, and said gently, "Aren't you bored? Now you have someone to play with. You can play however you want, I'll take care of you."
"Really?" Rong Qingqing's eyes lit up, but then she frowned as she thought of something and asked, "What if Father Emperor blames us?"
