"I know with your abilities, there's no need for you to support me to become emperor," Shen Shian said seriously.
No one understands Shen Qi's abilities better than him, the one who often advises Shen Qi.
Shen Qi chuckled lightly. "I'm really not that interested in the throne."
What's so great about being an emperor? She's tired of it.
Shen Shian nodded solemnly and brought the topic back. "Are you really planning to marry Gu Beiliang? Even if he's not truly seriously ill, what if he marries concubines in Yun Nation to win people over? Wouldn't you suffer if you marry him?"
Shen Qi raised an eyebrow. "He's not you."
It's true that there are several concubines in Shen Shian's backyard, married to win over courtiers. But Gu Beiliang wouldn't do that. He disdains such methods.
Shen Shian frowned slightly. "You trust him so much. Are you prepared to be taken advantage of by him in the future?"
