Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1168 - 1167: Do You Want to be My Only Consort?

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1167: Do You Want to be My Only Consort?

Chu Qianli did not know whether the Emperor had truly visited her during the days she was unconscious.

But two hours later, Chu Qianli was indeed fully dressed up and sent to Longyang Hall by the Empress Dowager.

Longyang Hall was the Emperor’s bedroom.

When the Empress Dowager led her over, she was still somewhat worried.

"Little Lili, how do you feel? Would you like to sit down and rest for a while?"

"Little Lili, do you still feel dizzy? Would you like me to help you walk?"

"Little Lili..."

Her attitude was as if she was treating a treasure held dearly in her palms.

When did she become so precious?

Chu Qianli was full of doubts.

Finally, they arrived at Longyang Hall.

Chu Jiangnan was still reviewing documents, looking very busy.

If it had not been for the Empress Dowager’s personal visit, he probably would not have wanted to meet anyone else.

Chu Qianli noticed that the tip of Chu Jiangnan’s brush was still dripping with wet ink, clearly busy all the time.

Meeting this legendary Emperor of Nanming Country for the second time, the indescribable pounding in her heart still surged.

But compared to last time, it was much calmer.

She shouldn’t faint again this time, right?

Like Chu Qianli, Chu Jiangnan’s expression no longer showed the shock from the first time they met.

The Empress Dowager kept watching Chu Jiangnan’s expression, but unfortunately, her son had always been too good at hiding his emotions.

Even as his mother, she had no clue what was on her son’s mind.

There was one thing, however, she could be sure of: the Emperor showed no signs of repulsion towards Chu Qianli.

In fact, there seemed to be a special glow in his eyes when he saw her.

This time, it must be right.

At least, her son truly noticed Little Lili.

"Little Lili, having seen the Emperor, aren’t you going to greet him?" reminded the Empress Dowager.

Although Chu Qianli was a prince from Longteng Country, when facing the Emperor, a prince was always of lower status; it was proper to pay respects.

Only then did Chu Qianli remember, and she quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Chu Jiangnan still hadn’t put down his brush, but his attitude towards the Empress Dowager was very respectful.

"Mother, please have a seat."

"Little Lili just woke up; shouldn’t the Emperor let Little Lili sit and rest first?" The Empress Dowager was now very protective of Chu Qianli.

Chu Jiangnan’s gaze fell on Chu Qianli again.

She was still so stunningly beautiful, yet carried no trace of seductiveness.

A naturally beautiful woman, her face now free of any makeup, fresh and natural, unlike that night.

Even cleaner and fresher.

For a moment, Chu Jiangnan found himself entranced by her.

His gaze fixated on Chu Qianli, unable to be withdrawn.

The more the Empress Dowager watched, the happier she grew!

This time, it must have worked!

"Little Lili is frail, Your Majesty, you must take good care of her. I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiangnan immediately stood up and personally saw the Empress Dowager out.

The frown on Chu Qianli’s brow lightened, now understanding the Empress Dowager’s intent.

Why had her attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees? It turned out she thought the Emperor had taken an interest in her.

For an Empress Dowager eager for her son to choose a consort, such a woman’s appearance was nothing short of a godsend.

No wonder she had suddenly become so caring and warm towards her.

However, Chu Qianli distinctly felt something was off about Chu Jiangnan’s gaze.

After seeing off the Empress Dowager, Chu Jiangnan quickly returned to his bedroom.

This time, with no one else around, his gaze directly and intently fell on Chu Qianli: "Do you wish to be the only concubine in my harem?"
