She took a deep breath and resisted the urge to overturn the table: "If your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will take my leave first."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for the Emperor of Chu to respond, she stood up, bowed, and fled out of the Yangxin Palace.
Even as I walked out of the palace, the Emperor Chu's shocking proposal seemed to still echo in my ears.
In the Yangxin Palace, when Chu Qingluan's footsteps completely disappeared outside the palace, the sick look on Emperor Chu's face disappeared.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes sparkling.
Eunuch Yao stepped forward with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is a brilliant move. Looking at the expression on Her Royal Highness's face, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
