Shangguan Li slowly sat down and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, I heard you have something to discuss with me? Speak."
"this……"
Lord Wang hesitated and looked at Chu Qingxuan. Just as Chu Qingxuan was about to leave, she heard Shangguan Li say, "Sir, you are welcome. Please say whatever you want to say."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lord Wang bowed again and then said, "When Your Highness first arrived, I sent someone to deliver some commonly used items to Your Highness. I wonder if Your Highness received them?"
It turns out that Lord Wang wanted to ask about those gold and silver treasures.
Chu Qingxuan looked at Shangguan Li, wondering how he would handle the situation, but she was sure it would be very interesting.
She can simply watch the show from the sidelines.
She saw Shangguan Li's brows furrow, a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Lord Wang gave me something before, what was it?"
Chu Qingxuan suppressed a laugh; Shangguan Li was quite good at pretending.
Lord Wang looked surprised, but quickly returned to normal, though the two still noticed.
Shangguan Li sneered inwardly, "Don't I know what you're thinking?"
"Lord Wang is not speaking. Could it be that he has sent me something I shouldn't have?"
Shangguan Li's voice was low and cold, with a hint of probing.
Lord Wang was a very tactful person, and he quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing, just some everyday items, nothing of value. Since Your Highness hasn't received them, I'll go and ask again."
"Oh? From what Lord Wang is saying, those things are still useful."
Shangguan Li slowly curved his lips into a smile. When Chu Qingxuan saw this, only one animal came to mind: a fox.
Upon hearing this, Lord Wang hurriedly said, "Now that the people in the city are in such a state, I, as their official, am also very saddened. If possible, I would like to ask Your Highness to spare them this favor."
Shangguan Li rested his chin on his hand and said seriously, "If I really had this thing, I would agree to it no matter what, since it is for the sake of the people. However... I have not received it."
Shangguan Li glanced at Chu Qingxuan lightly, "Did Mr. Chu see it?"
Chu Qingxuan suppressed her smile and cooperated with Lord Wang in a serious manner, "Your Highness, I don't know either."
A shadowy glint flashed in Lord Wang's eyes, and his tone changed, "In that case, I shall take my leave."
After Lord Wang left, Shangguan Li's eyes turned cold as he continued reading his book. Chu Qingxuan immediately approached, knelt on the ground, and rested her chin on her hands. "Shangguan Li, what do you plan to do next?"
Shangguan Li glanced at Chu Qingxuan and said indifferently, "Guess."
Chu Qingxuan rolled her eyes and scoffed. Before she could speak, the weight of the book landed on her head.
Chu Qingxuan was tapped on the head.
Chu Qingxuan gritted her teeth and warned Shangguan Li, "Let me tell you, Shangguan Li, stop hitting my head all the time. If I become stupid, will you take responsibility?"
Shangguan Li chuckled, "I'm stupid anyway, it's the same whether I knock or not."
Chu Qingxuan slammed her hand on the table, her brows furrowing slightly, and called out again, "Shangguan Li!"
Shangguan Li ignored Chu Qingxuan and continued reading with his head down.
Chu Qingxuan felt that whether it was the Shangguan Li who used to be full of flirtatious talk or the Shangguan Li who suddenly became serious and indifferent.
They're all equally annoying.
Chu Qingxuan got up and left. Hearing the door close, Shangguan Li slowly raised his head, looked in the direction Chu Qingxuan had left, and sighed.
