Upon hearing that Shangguan Li wasn't angry, Chu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Shangguan Li, I've noticed your temper has gotten worse."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Li glanced at Chu Qingxuan indifferently, and Chu Qingxuan immediately fell silent.
Okay, you have big eyes, so you get to decide.
Seeing Chu Qingxuan's discomfiture, Shangguan Li was in high spirits; he still couldn't let go of this person.
Shangguan Li knew he had fallen for him, but the world would not allow an emperor to have male concubines, so he had to give up.
He didn't believe he liked Chu Qingxuan enough to give up the throne.
Fine, he'll just distance himself from Chu Qingxuan from now on. Once things are over in the south, he'll let Chu Qingxuan go far away.
From then on, the world was their oyster, and Chu Qingxuan was free.
But I still feel a little reluctant to part with it...
His deep eyes looked at Chu Qingxuan, who was also looking at Shangguan Li. Their eyes met, and they were both trying to read the expression in each other's eyes.
For some reason, Chu Qingxuan always felt that there were complex emotions in those deep eyes, but she couldn't understand them any further.
I felt those eyes were inexplicably familiar.
"Your Highness!"
Bai Chen's voice broke the atmosphere between the two, and they quickly looked away, both feeling a little guilty.
Shangguan Li coughed lightly and asked, "What is it?"
Bai Chen glanced at Chu Qingxuan, and Chu Qingxuan immediately understood what Bai Chen meant—he just didn't want her to listen.
If you won't let me listen, then I'll eavesdrop.
Shangguan Li said, "No need, Mr. Chu can know."
Mr. Chu?
Shangguan Li said something like that last night.
Then, Chu Qingxuan sat back down, sitting upright and waiting for Bai Chen to speak.
"Several boxes of gold and silver jewelry have been sent over from Lord Wang's side."
Snap—
Chu Qingxuan slammed her hand on the table, startled, almost forgetting what Bai Chen had just said.
But Shangguan Li, doesn't your hand hurt?
"You said you didn't have enough money to buy grain, but now you've sent me two boxes of gold and silver jewelry. What a generous offer from you, Lord Wang."
Shangguan Li's phoenix eyes were cold and menacing, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.
Chu Qingxuan didn't feel there was anything to be angry about. Wasn't this kind of thing common in the government?
"Your Highness, I will go and arrest Lord Wang."
"No need. Go and make arrangements. Tell them that I want to move to the government office."
Bai Chen looked puzzled. "Your Highness, this..."
Chu Qingxuan looked at Shangguan Li's cold face with a half-smile, thinking that someone was probably going to suffer.
"With so much gold and silver jewelry, why not take it?"
Although Bai Chen didn't know why Shangguan Li did this, he still cupped his hands and replied, "Yes!"
After Bai Chen left, Chu Qingxuan stood up, and Shangguan Li's voice sounded behind her.
"where have you been?"
Chu Qingxuan chuckled, "I've been here for so long and haven't seen any gold or silver jewelry yet. I'll go take a look!"
Shangguan Li: "..."
Just say you're greedy.
Chu Qingxuan saw four boxes of gold and silver jewelry in Shangguan Li's room and clicked her tongue, saying, "Lord Wang is really rich. He must have plundered a lot of the people's wealth."
"It seems so."
Shangguan Li walked in at some point and picked up where Chu Qingxuan left off.
"So, what does Your Highness intend to do?"
"What does Your Highness think?"
Chu Qingxuan rubbed her hands together, eager to try, her face full of excitement, "Let's go to the Prince's mansion and plunder all his money, keeping it for ourselves!"
Shangguan Li tapped her on the head, "You wish! This has to be handed over."
"Then I'm happy too."
Chu Qingxuan smiled like a fox, just waiting to go to Lord Wang's lair.
