"You brought this on yourself? Shangguan Li, you actually have the nerve to say that!"
Chu Shangguo's face was ashen, his eyes filled with hatred. If it weren't for Shangguan Li, his daughter wouldn't have been afraid to go out.
She won't be unable to get married.
Everything happened because of Shangguan Li, and Shangguan Li must die!
Chu Shangguo shouted at the top of his lungs, "Guards! Seize Shangguan Li!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire palace was filled with the sound of metal. Chu Shangguo looked at Shangguan Li triumphantly, thinking, "Let's see if you can still be so arrogant!"
The next second, Chu Shangguo froze as a soldier's long hair was placed on his neck.
Shangguan Li slowly curled his lips into a smile and said, "You must be wondering why these people aren't listening to you anymore."
"Don't think your plan is foolproof. We knew about your plan long before you made a move. We were just playing along with your act."
As soon as Shangguan Li finished speaking, a figure in bright yellow walked out from behind the curtain. He looked coldly at Chu Shangguo, who had been captured, and said, "Minister Chu, you have been in the court for many years, and I have never mistreated you. This time, I can no longer protect you."
The emperor coldly issued an order, "Guards, seize Chu Shangguo and execute him on the spot."
Hahahaha!
The entire palace was filled with Chu Shangguo's maniacal laughter. He stared intently at the emperor and cursed, "You dog emperor, you speak so sweetly, but it's all just empty talk. Let me tell you, you won't be on this throne for long!"
Chu Shangguo glanced at Shangguan Li, and the emperor frowned slightly, saying, "Take him away!"
Chu Shangguo was dragged out, and Shangguan Li knelt down and said, "Father, you have been frightened."
The emperor hurriedly helped Shangguan Li up, then patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Li'er, get up quickly. This time, it's all thanks to you for informing me in advance, otherwise this empire would have changed hands."
"This is what I should do."
The emperor nodded and continued, "Pack your things and go find the Imperial Advisor. He has something he wants to tell you."
Shangguan Li was puzzled, but he didn't ask. He simply replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go now."
No one knows what the Imperial Advisor and Shangguan Li talked about. After Shangguan Li returned, he went sightseeing with the Imperial Advisor's sister, Qin Xuan.
The entire Chu family was wiped out.
In the water towns of Jiangnan, a man in red and a woman in purple walk side by side, followed by guards dressed in black.
"Shangguan Li, what did the Imperial Advisor say to you before? Why did you suddenly give up?"
Shangguan Li raised an eyebrow at Chu Qingxuan, "Guess."
Chu Qingxuan's face darkened. "I won't guess."
"You don't have to guess, as long as you promise to marry me, I'll tell you."
Chu Qingxuan grinned, stepped back in front of Shangguan Li, and refused, saying, "You want me to marry you? No way!"
Shangguan Li replied, "Since there's no door, I'll climb in through the window."
"Sorry, this road is blocked, and I've already locked the windows."
Shangguan Li: "..."
Chu Qingxuan had already run off to look at the trinkets on the stall. Seeing this, Shangguan Li shook his head helplessly.
The Imperial Advisor said, "Chu Qingxuan is the daughter of my old friend. You were destined to face a calamity; if you rebelled, you would surely die. Her appearance has changed your fate."
"She said you want rights, so let me give you the rights you want. I can agree to that, but you must treat her well."
Shangguan Li slowly curved his lips into a smile. "Even if you don't say anything, I will still treat her well."
At that moment, the system's voice appeared in Chu Qingxuan's mind: [Host, the emperor has passed away and has issued an edict appointing Shangguan Chen as emperor. You should go.]
Chu Qingxuan froze, and subconsciously asked: [Shangguan Li...]
[This is not something you should be worrying about; your task is complete.]
Let's go then.
Chu Qingxuan glanced in Shangguan Li's direction and saw him through the crowd.
Goodbye, Shangguan Li.
For a fleeting moment, Shangguan Li suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he were about to lose something.
He ran to Chu Qingxuan and hugged her.
I felt extremely uneasy.
"Chuchu, let's go back."
"Um."
After the emperor's death, Shangguan Chen became emperor and appointed Shangguan Li as regent, placing him above the emperor.
The regent neglected state affairs, spending his days traveling and enjoying nature with a woman, only returning to the capital for important matters.
