Shangguan Li glanced at Chu Qingxuan, who was watching the show and didn't say anything. She had already figured out Shangguan Li's purpose.
Shangguan Li coughed lightly, glancing away out of the corner of his eye, pretending that he wasn't the one who had been secretly looking at Chu Qingxuan just now. He asked Bai Chen in a low voice, "Then what do you think should be done?"
"Your Highness, please hand them over to me." Bai Chen immediately understood Shangguan Li's meaning and took the initiative to take on the task.
This hot potato has been passed to Bai Chen, but Shangguan Li's heart is still not at ease. Chu Qingxuan's attitude just now made him feel even more depressed.
Chu Qingxuan didn't care about him.
After Bai Chen left, Shangguan Li's face was gloomy, his sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he showed no intention of paying any attention to Chu Qingxuan.
Chu Qingxuan took the initiative to walk over and commented, "Lord Wang is really bold, actually finding so many women to send to the Prince. Did the Prince really not take a liking to any of them?"
Shangguan Li's gaze was stern, and Chu Qingxuan pursed her lips and shut her mouth.
I don't know what she did to offend Shangguan Li, and he even gave her a hard time.
"As a princess, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Chu Qingxuan pretended to touch her chest, blinked, and answered Shangguan Li's question seriously, "I really don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, Your Highness... what do you think I should do?"
Upon hearing Chu Qingxuan's reply, Shangguan Li smiled bitterly and sighed, "Fine, I knew you would answer like that. After things are over here, you can leave. I will announce to the world that the Queen Consort has passed away due to illness."
Chu Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. Was Shangguan Li trying to get rid of her?
It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away. Since the cooperation was proposed, terminating it is impossible.
Chu Qingxuan sat arrogantly in front of Shangguan Li, raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Shangguan Li, you were the one who took the initiative to cooperate with me in the first place. Now you want to kick me while I'm down?"
Shangguan Li's expression changed slightly, but he stubbornly replied, "If you say so, then so be it."
Chu Qingxuan scoffed. She knew perfectly well what Shangguan Li was thinking.
They just want to get rid of her; she doesn't necessarily have to stay by Shangguan Li's side.
Why not just change your identity when you return to Beijing?
but……
Before that, she also needed to get something from Shangguan Li.
"Since Your Highness doesn't want to cooperate, I can't be so shameless, can I? If you want me to leave on my own, Your Highness must promise me one thing."
Chu Qingxuan squinted, her eyes reflecting Shangguan Li's image.
"Okay, go ahead."
Chu Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet. I'll come to the capital to find you when I do. Don't worry... I won't let anyone find out about me."
"In that case, I'll pack my bags."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Li looked surprised. He opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
Since the decision has been made to let Chu Qingxuan leave, there's no going back.
Despite his deep reluctance, Shangguan Li held back.
Shangguan Li watched Chu Qingxuan's departing figure from behind, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.
Seeing this, Bai Chen also felt a little sorry for him.
"Since Your Highness is unwilling to let the Princess leave, why not keep her here?"
Shangguan Li was in a daze and said softly, "Bai Chen, as long as the male consort lives, I will never be able to sit on that throne."
"But Your Highness..."
Shangguan Li gave Bai Chen a cold glance, and Bai Chen immediately shut up.
If the prince truly loves her, he naturally wouldn't abandon his beloved for the sake of the throne.
But no matter what the prince does, he will support him.
