And the other woman wasn't swayed in the slightest by her beauty; she's practically the perfect wife. What man wouldn't like a woman like that?

More importantly, it was too easy for him to get a woman, so he wanted the one he couldn't have even more.

No one knew that he had long since become the master of Yunxian Pavilion, which is why he could do whatever he wanted within it.

Furthermore, Kan Wu'an was extremely confident in himself, believing that he would inevitably get what he wanted. Moreover, he did not believe that he was merely the most handsome man in Nan Ci, and that no man in the world could surpass him in appearance.

If Ruan Ruan knew what he was thinking, she would probably say: "That's because you haven't seen Yue Qi Wan. His Highness's beauty is unmatched."

Kan Wu'an has his own influence here. Although it is far inferior to some official positions, it is not difficult for him to find out some information.

…

However, Kan Wu'an never expected that by the time he had fully figured out Wan Ge's identity, he had already received news that she had returned to the capital.

Having dealt with the matter of harassing a man in the street, the Empress had no desire to stay any longer, so she made some preparations and returned to the capital.

On the way back, the Empress was also thinking that there might be some shortcomings in her original plan, which might have made some people so lawless.

She even wondered if the same situation existed just outside the palace walls, only a wall away from her own. It was just that, under the emperor's nose, they concealed it much more deeply.

Kan Wu'an also learned that Wan Ge was that unparalleled general.

He had actually heard before that the general was exceptionally handsome, but he originally thought it was just due to the general's glorious deeds and some people's exaggeration that made her so good-looking.

Now that he knows, Kan Wu'an feels that other people's descriptions are not exaggerated at all, and in fact, such descriptions are somewhat unworthy of Wan Ge.

…

Because of the assassination attempt, Wan Ge knew that her husband, Mu, must be very worried about her, so she escorted Yue Qiwan back to her palace safely and then left to go home to reassure her father.

When Mu's husband saw that his daughter had returned safe and sound, he was still extremely worried, even though he knew her capabilities. There was no longer a war, so why did something like this happen?

When Mu Fujun later heard her say that she wanted to volunteer to go to the palace to protect the Empress and the imperial heirs, his expression changed immediately, and he stood up instantly.

Thinking back to this trip, it was she who suggested it first, and then that kind of thing happened.

Mu Fujun could not even imagine how many assassination attempts he would face while serving the Empress. Although protecting the Empress was one of her responsibilities, being a personal bodyguard was not.

The Empress has her own personal guards and doesn't need her, so she doesn't need to make such a request at all.

Wan Ge directly confessed to her father that the reason she made such a request was actually to protect the people she cared about.

The people she cares about!

Mu Fujun instantly remembered what she had said before. Could it be that she cared about some princess's husband?

Although the position of the Crown Princess is secure, it doesn't mean the other princesses have no chance at all. If Wan Ge were to do something like that, it would be extremely dangerous, what if...

Thinking of this, Mr. Mu immediately stood up, looked at his daughter, and said very seriously, "I absolutely disagree!"

Wan Ge looked at the person in front of her with a strange look in her eyes. He hadn't objected when she said those things before.

Previously, Mr. Mu thought she was just infatuated, at most staying by his side to observe him, but wouldn't do anything inappropriate. Now she's practically going to be by his side! What if she really wanted to do something? His daughter is so outstanding, how could a man refuse?

"But... maybe there's still a chance for me and him." She had originally prepared herself to keep her distance from him and protect him for the rest of her life, but now, he is willing to get closer to her, and maybe he will even be willing to marry her in the future.

"What!" Mu's husband felt dizzy. What kind of man is so shameless, giving his daughter the illusion that she has a chance? They're already married, yet he's still giving other women opportunities. Shameless! He has no sense of male virtue at all!

Seeing that the other person was holding their head and seemed to be about to faint, Wan Ge quickly supported her father. Seeing how agitated he was, and thinking about what she had said earlier... Could he have misunderstood something?

Looking at her husband, Mu, Wan Ge softly asked, "Does Father think that the person I love is already married?"

When Mu Fujun heard her ask that, he looked at her with a puzzled expression and softly asked, "Isn't that right?"

Wan Ge chuckled softly upon hearing the reply, then told the person in front of her, "Of course not. It was just that I felt there was no chance before due to certain reasons."

In fact, very few people know about Yue Qiwan's past, except for the original owner, the Empress, Yue Qimeng, and a few guards who came.

Mr. Mu let out a soft "Ah," instantly relieved, and said with a puzzled look, "Whose young master is not good enough for my daughter?"

Then, remembering that the other person wanted to go to the palace, Mu Fujun asked again, "Is it the royal family?"

Wan Ge hummed in agreement.

There are indeed several unmarried princes, but those I recall are all quite young, not yet of marriageable age. Except for one…

Yue Qiwan... was well past the ideal age for marriage. Although he wasn't old, it wasn't the most suitable age for marriage either. She didn't know why, and she hadn't even seen him since.
