Jun Zilin's words did not stir up much of a storm in Ruan Qingchen's heart; he had long understood this feeling.
It's just that I've always kept it hidden in my heart.
Chu Qingxuan noticed his gaze and turned to look at Ruan Qingchen, a smile playing on her lips, appearing completely carefree.
Ruan Qingchen's eyes darkened slightly; his phoenix eyes were cold and aloof as he looked away.
I almost forgot, Chu Qingxuan said that her previous statement about wanting him to be her imperial consort was just a joke.
but……
He's taken it seriously.
Chu Qingxuan was completely baffled. What was wrong with Ruan Qingchen?
Although Chu Qingxuan was puzzled, she did not delve into it further. At this moment, she was only concerned about whether Jun Zilin had defeated Murong Ze.
If you can't beat them, then don't get married.
I'll stay single forever.
The system sighed and advised Chu Qingxuan: [Host, you need to calm down.]
Chu Qingxuan replied: [I've always been calm.]
The system was speechless. Did you think you were calm?
Not long after, Jun Zilin defeated Murong Ze. Chu Qingxuan's lips involuntarily curled up, and she said, "Jun Zilin is really amazing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Qingchen looked over.
Chu Qingxuan caught a glimpse of Ruan Qingchen's movements out of the corner of her eye, and subconsciously turned her head, asking Ruan Qingchen in confusion, "Is there something on my face that the Imperial Advisor is looking at me?"
Ruan Qingchen shook her head. "No."
"Oh, why is the Imperial Advisor staring at me?"
Ruan Qingchen pursed her lips, staring at Chu Qingxuan's face for a long time without saying a word.
Seeing that Ruan Qingchen looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't, Chu Qingxuan stared at Ruan Qingchen's head and almost reached out to rub it.
Suppressing the urge to raise her hand, Chu Qingxuan grinned.
"If the Imperial Preceptor has something to say but is too embarrassed to say it, he can come to Qingchen Palace to find me."
After Chu Qingxuan finished speaking, Ruan Qingchen gave a soft "hmm" and was finally satisfied.
At this moment, Murong Ze and Jun Zilin were already standing in front of Chu Qingxuan. Chu Qingxuan glanced at the two of them, and finally fixed her gaze on Murong Ze's face, and said with a smile, "A bet is a bet, Murong Ze, you have to give up the Princess."
Murong Ze, looking impatient, finally said, "If Murong Ze gives up, Xuefeng Kingdom will choose another consort."
Chu Qingxuan continued, "I know you, Murong Ze, are not happy. You must be thinking, 'You are the Crown Prince, why are you doing this?'"
"You two, one is the Crown Prince of Xuefeng Kingdom, and the other is the Prime Minister of Tianqi Dynasty. It is not up to me to decide who the Princess marries. What is important is... who truly cares for the Princess."
Chu Qingxuan's gaze was icy as she stared at Murong Ze's ugly face, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
His words exuded an air of dominance.
"The Tianqi Dynasty is not afraid of the Xuefeng Kingdom."
With the presence of the gentlemen Lin and Ruan Qingchen during the Tianqi era, no other country dared to invade.
Furthermore, Apocalypse's strength should not be underestimated.
After the competition, Chu Qingxuan arranged a marriage between Chu Qingwan and Jun Zilin, making their relationship legitimate.
Murong Ze also left the Tianqi Dynasty.
The day after Murong Ze left, Ruan Qingchen took the initiative to go to Qingchen Palace to find Chu Qingxuan.
Standing at the entrance of Qingchen Palace, Ruan Qingchen stared at the three characters "Qingchen Palace" for a long time, his mind flashing back to the first half of his life, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.
He resolutely stepped inside.
If he goes inside, it means he has abandoned what he has always believed in.
This decision actually made him feel much more at ease.
