Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage Chapter 1169 - 1168: The Beauty Trap, You Are Still Very Nai

Chu Qianli instinctively took a half step back, shaking her head: "I never thought about that."

"Upon seeing for the first ti, you pretended to faint, then kept staying in the Empress Dowager’s palace using your ill health as an excuse."

Chu Jiangnan smiled lightly, but that smile was filled with scorn.

"I’ve seen countless such tactics from young maidens, but such shaless clinging is indeed a first for ."

"Could it be that the Emperor overestimates his own charm?" Chu Qianli’s eyes also darkened.

Although she did not dislike the Nanming Emperor at all, the contempt in his gaze was inexplicably hurtful to her.

She didn’t even know why she cared.

Chu Jiangnan returned to his desk and sat down, his gaze once again falling on Chu Qianli.

But this ti, there was no trace of sarcasm in his eyes, only a quiet observation.

Even his eyes slightly narrowed.

Such focused, earnest, and enchanted staring might make one think he was truly captivated by Chu Qianli’s beauty.

However, Chu Qianli clearly felt that his gaze was too distant, far too distant, to the extent that it was untouchable.

Who is he really seeing?

Because, he certainly wasn’t looking at her!

"Do I look like soone you fancy?" That seed to be the only possibility.

Chu Jiangnan closed his eyes, perhaps to hide so emotions.

When he opened them again, those eyes had regained their usual cool detachnt.

"Who sent you to deceive ?" His tone was calm, devoid of any displeasure.

Chu Qianli coldly said: "I have no intention of deceiving the Emperor, but if the Emperor is so easily beguiled by beauty, then it’s his own lack of resolve that’s to bla, not ."

Chu Jiangnan remained silent, just watching her.

"Emperor, if you would investigate, you would find out that I’m just a so-called Prince with no real power, even at risk of being killed by Empress Longteng any day..."

"So, you plan to co to Nanming seeking support?"

Chu Qianli blinked, realizing that her words could indeed be interpreted that way.

Thinking over it, that indeed seed a reasonable assumption since she herself said she could be killed at any mont.

Not knowing how to explain, after a long silence, she finally said softly: "I heard the Emperor is already thirty-six; I’m not interested in n of uncle age."

Uncle?

This term was indeed quite novel.

"Is this also a tactic they taught you to charm ?" Chu Jiangnan did not get angry.

He simply picked up his pen and continued to review petitions.

Chu Qianli found herself feeling powerless, as whatever she said could be misunderstood.

Muttering, she couldn’t help but complain: "Don’t you think, Emperor, that with your age, you could be my father?"

"Do you want to be a Princess?"

Chu Jiangnan actually considered it before saying, "Not being my biological daughter, they wouldn’t acknowledge your status."

"..." Chu Qianli almost rolled her eyes at him.

How can one not get through to him!

It was a pity that he had such a handso face that could bewitch anyone, seeming no older than twenty.

But speaking of which, she was also curious: "Emperor, do you think I look like soone you know? A very important girl?"

The way he looked at her was complex, clearly looking through her at soone else.

Is the resemblance that strong?

"Not really."

Chu Jiangnan did not even lift his eyelids: "Not at all, you just happen to be sowhat pretty. But in my eyes, you’re rely superficial. If you’re hoping to use beauty to sway , you’re still far too naive!"
