Shi Zhiyan froze, not expecting Shi Li to say something like that.
For a moment, he almost lost his composure.
The blood was surging in his veins, roaring that his restraint was making him seem completely useless.
Thinking about it, it made sense. If Shi Li was truly determined to inherit the throne, she would undoubtedly wear him down and use every method possible to get him to agree.
Besides, this was his homeland, after all.
Shi Li, on the other hand, was the outsider.
Shi Zhiyan felt a pang of guilt for making someone with no real attachment to this land sacrifice so much.
But she was the one who had asked for this. It seemed he had indeed gone a bit too far.
"It's rare to hear you say something like that."
"I want to hear it again. I didn't quite catch it. What did you just say?" But now wasn't the time to be thinking about that.
There were more important things to do first.
As for the rest, they could talk after he was tired.
