Chu Qingxuan not only wanted Shangguan Chen to become emperor and share the throne with the female lead, but she also wanted Shangguan Li to give up Bai Wan'er and protect Shangguan Li.
Chu Qingxuan glanced at Shangguan Li with her cold eyes. Shangguan Li had already revealed his ambition, and it was impossible for him to give up the struggle for the throne.
Moreover, Shangguan Li is suspicious. If I were to say something to make him give up the throne, he probably wouldn't trust me anymore.
Chu Qingxuan pondered for a while, then her beautiful lips suddenly curved into a smile, followed by a cold laugh.
The system only said that Shangguan Li should not become emperor, but it did not say that Shangguan Li should not hold power.
Chu Qingxuan coughed lightly, then smiled and asked the system, "[System, is it enough to just have Shangguan Li give up the fight for the throne?]"
The system had a bad feeling. It asked, "[Yes, but what do you want to do, host?]"
A sly glint flashed in Chu Qingxuan's eyes as she said, "[Not wanting to do anything, does that mean Shangguan Li is willing to do anything as long as he doesn't become emperor, right?]"
[yes.]
[I understand now.]
Then a regent is also an option.
System: "..." I feel like I've been tricked by the host.
However, this method is actually quite good; it can protect Shangguan Li and also allow him to have the rights he wants.
Host, well done!
While Chu Qingxuan was communicating with the system, Shangguan Li took in all of Chu Qingxuan's cunning. He pursed his lips, and seeing that Chu Qingxuan was engrossed in her conversation, he couldn't bear to disturb her.
Only when Chu Qingxuan's lips curled up into a victorious smile did he wave his hand in front of her.
Chu Qingxuan frowned slightly, looking at Shangguan Li with some disdain, "Shangguan Li, what do you want to do?"
Shangguan Li crossed his arms, lifted his eyelids slightly, and said lightly, "I would like to ask what the princess wants to do. Just now, when I was talking to you, you started to laugh like an idiot. I thought my princess had suddenly gone mad."
Chu Qingxuan opened her mouth, but didn't argue with Shangguan Li.
"Speak, Your Highness, what are you hiding from me?"
Chu Qingxuan pursed her lips, denying Shangguan Li's idea, "No."
Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.
Shangguan Li's handsome face drew close to Chu Qingxuan's; she could feel his breath on her face.
He lowered his voice, his voice hoarse, "But Your Highness, you practically have it written all over your face that I'm hiding something from you."
Chu Qingxuan glared at Shangguan Li and started to act spoiled, saying, "I said I don't have it, so I don't have it."
Shangguan Li chuckled and said with a smile, "Alright, since the princess says there's nothing, then there's nothing. However, if I find out that the princess is hiding something from me, I won't let you off easily."
Chu Qingxuan grinned, "Your Highness, don't worry, there really isn't any."
If you're so capable, kill me. I'll just keep having fun in the next dimension.
The system detected Chu Qingxuan's thoughts and coughed lightly, saying, "[Host, please be careful what you say.]"
Shangguan Li stared intently at Chu Qingxuan with his deep eyes. He truly couldn't understand what Chu Qingxuan was thinking.
Following Chu Qingxuan and Shangguan Li, Shangguan Chen and Bai Wan'er also became the topic of conversation among the people of the capital.
The difference is that the common people all think that Shangguan Chen and Bai Wan'er are a perfect match and that it would be best for them to be together.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingxuan also said, "I also think they are a good match."
You two had better be loving and affectionate. As long as you're loving and affectionate, I'll have nothing to worry about.
