Peony observed Chu Qingxuan's expression. Chu Qingxuan's eyes were cold and clear, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved up, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
“But…Miss, I still feel that Prince An treats you differently.”
Chu Qingxuan slightly curved her lips, but did not reply to Shaoyao's words.
Peony only saw the surface; she knew Shangguan Li's character very well.
It is estimated that when Chu Qingli was there that day, there were Shangguan Li's people around the courtyard, and then he told Shangguan Li everything.
Shangguan Li seized the opportunity and used it to stop Chu Qingli outside the door.
Chu Qingxuan sneered. Shangguan Li's plan was quite clever.
Chu Qingxuan closed her eyes, lay down on the bed, and said softly, "Peony, I'm going to lie down for a while. No matter who contacts me, just say I have something to do."
"So... is it the same for everyone?"
"Um."
She only gave a soft reply, and then Peony could no longer hear Chu Qingxuan's voice. She quietly left Chu Qingxuan's side so that Chu Qingxuan could rest well.
Inside the Yangju Palace, Chu Shangguo knelt on the ground, accusing Shangguan Li with tears streaming down his face, which annoyed even the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you must do me justice! With Prince An doing this, my daughter will never be able to face anyone again!"
The emperor glanced at Chu Shangguo and sighed inwardly; this matter was truly a headache.
Li'er, even if you say you don't like it, you should at least give them some face!
You're making things really difficult for me.
The Emperor coughed lightly and said with a stern face, "Li'er... Prince An has indeed gone too far this time. I will teach him a lesson."
Just as Chu Shangguo was about to feel smug, he heard the emperor say, "But my dear minister, do you know why Li'er did this?"
"Your humble servant...does not know." A bad premonition rose in Chu Shangguo's heart.
"As far as I know, your daughter, Princess Anle, whom I personally bestowed the title upon, is acting arrogantly and domineeringly in the Prince An's residence, and has beaten many of the maids there. Are you aware of this matter, my dear minister?"
Chu Shangguo was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The emperor sneered, "I don't mind, but Princess Anle is not a member of the royal family. Although she has the title of Princess Anle, there is a difference between the emperor and his subjects. Princess Anle should also give Prince An face."
"Your Majesty! Your humble servant..."
Seeing that Chu Shangguo was about to continue speaking, the emperor waved his hand to interrupt him, "Alright, stop talking. I will handle the matter of Prince An, but Minister Chu, I hope this matter ends here. As for Princess Anle marrying Prince An, let's just forget about it."
Although the emperor said he wanted to deal with Shangguan Li, his words were all about protecting Shangguan Li.
Chu Shangguo's face was gloomy; it seemed that the emperor had no intention of standing by his side.
He lowered his stance because he wanted to give his daughter an explanation.
It's probably impossible to do that now.
Since that's the case, don't blame him for being ruthless.
After Chu Shangguo left, a white figure emerged from behind the curtain. "Your Majesty can take this opportunity to establish a crown prince."
The following day, Shangguan Li was fined his salary and forced to face the wall for three months, forbidden from leaving the Prince An's residence.
Not long after, the emperor issued an edict, establishing the eighth prince Shangguan Chen as the crown prince and Bai Wan'er as the crown princess.
Upon hearing this news, Chu Qingxuan smiled. With Shangguan Chen becoming the Crown Prince, it wouldn't be long before she completed her mission.
As for Shangguan Li, she's been here for so long, it's time for her to go and see him.
Incidentally, stop him from rebelling and change his fate.
