"Three days later, what will you do then?"
Chu Qianli had already come out and walked to Chu Jiangnan's side. She glanced at Feng Yexuan expressionlessly.
Then she bowed to Chu Jiangnan and said, "Father Emperor."
"You are not well, don't stand. Come, sit beside Father Emperor."
Although Chu Qianli was not his own daughter, Chu Jiangnan looked at her as if she were his own flesh and blood, feeling a sense of closeness.
Therefore, there was no need for acting; no one would doubt the deep father-daughter affection between them.
Chu Qianli was indeed a little weak, so she sat down beside Chu Jiangnan.
She raised her eyes, not looking at Feng Yexuan, but only at Feng Qihe: "Prince He, didn't you want to propose to Prince Yu some time ago? Why are you bothering this princess now?"
If it were anyone else, being questioned so directly by their proposed suitor would have made them blush and not know how to respond.
But Feng Qihe did not.
Not only was he not embarrassed, but he was even more forthright than before.
"The struggle for power in the Northern Underworld court is no less intense than in the Southern Underworld. My primary reason for coming to the Southern Underworld this time is to win over forces that can help me in my bid for the throne."
Chu Jiangnan's fingertips paused slightly, and Chu Qianli's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.
This Prince He was actually telling the truth without any reservation. This demeanor was beyond Chu Qianli's expectations.
"One of the reasons?" Chu Jiangnan raised an eyebrow. "Then, are there other reasons?"
"That's right." Feng Qihe seemed to have come specifically to pledge his loyalty today. He said, "The second reason is that I heard the Heaven and Earth Lock appeared in the Southern Underworld Imperial City."
"I am also very interested in the Heaven and Earth Lock."
No one in the room spoke.
After a long while, Feng Qihe said gently, "Your Majesty, if you believe I am sincere enough, please agree to my proposal. I will cherish the Princess with utmost care and do my best to protect her in the future."
"This matter, I cannot decide alone. It still depends on Li'er's own choice."
Chu Jiangnan turned his head to look at Chu Qianli, who was drinking tea: "Li'er, what do you think?"
Although Feng Qihe was not as outstanding as Feng Yexuan, as a father, he cared more about his child's future happiness.
Even Chu Jiangnan was unsure if Little Li'er would have a good outcome by Feng Yexuan's side.
After all, Feng Qihe was not wrong in saying that Feng Yexuan had Feng Ling by his side.
As for Feng Qihe himself, he believed that Chu Qianli would have her own judgment.
Chu Qianli put down her cup and was about to say something.
However, Feng Yexuan's cold voice interrupted her: "...Dead woman, give me three days!"
Chu Qianli looked at him.
Although his face still showed no expression, she knew that he was being pushed to the brink of madness.
She understood this man to some extent.
He must be doubting his feelings and whether something was wrong. Until he figured things out, he couldn't give her any promises.
Therefore, he needed these three days.
But in reality, for her, it didn't make much difference whether these three days existed or not.
"Prince Xuan can have as many days as he wants, but it will not change my decision, this Princess."
"Li'er!"
"Your Highness, this Princess did indeed have a marriage engagement with Prince He. How do you know that this Princess has never had any feelings for Prince He?"
These words made Feng Yexuan stiffen all over, and his heart instantly ached.
