Although Xuan Yu didn't quite understand, he still made a promise of lifelong commitment to appease her, after all, it was just a promise.

He's willing to make as many promises as he wants, as long as he gets what he wants; he's not the kind of person who feels guilty about breaking a promise.

"What else did you say to Tang'er?"

Wan Ge looked at the other person coldly, her eyes seemingly devoid of any affection: "What should I say? Of course, I'll tell the truth!"

When Xuan Yu heard this, the sweat on his hands had already stuck to the hilt of his sword.

Looking at the way he gripped the sword tightly in one hand, Wan Ge slowly spoke again: "What? Does Your Highness intend to kill me in public? If Your Highness dares to do so, your reputation in front of His Majesty will be ruined."

"Why are you speaking to me like this?" Xuan Yu felt that the person in front of her seemed completely different from the one she had met not long ago.

Wan Ge looked at the person in front of her with amusement: "How could I talk to you like that? It's hilarious! Xuan Yu, how could you say such a thing?"

You deceived my feelings, tricked me into breaking off the engagement, and lied about promising to save my father. Do you still want me to love you like before, like a fool?

Xuan Yu, I am not your tool. I can like you, and I can hate you.

Wan Ge is now completely a deceived woman, in a state of utter despair after loving someone she cannot have.

As Wan Ge walked past him, she spoke again: "I hope your Tang'er is really useful to you. Xuan Yu, you lied to me. If anything happens to my father, you won't have an easy time either."

Wan Ge watched as his hand gripped the sword hilt tighter and tighter, as if he would draw the sword at any moment.

He then slowly spoke, "By the way, you don't know yet, do you? His Highness the Crown Prince has planted secret guards around me to protect me. If you were to harm me, the fact that you personally attacked me should soon reach His Majesty's ears."

"Your Highness only has one enemy. Do you think he might take this opportunity to impeach you?"

Indeed, the emperor's other sons were not very capable. The emperor already had very few children, and now only the crown prince and he were outstanding.

Although the Crown Prince is favored by His Majesty and is considered a satisfactory heir apparent by the court officials, there are quite a few people in the court who secretly support him based on some of his actions.

As long as the Crown Prince has not yet become emperor, he remains the other party's rival, and Xuan Yu himself thinks so too.

For him, the Crown Prince was his only rival, so he was willing to kill the Crown Prince, because only if the Crown Prince died would he have a chance.

No, to be precise, as long as the Crown Prince has the opportunity, he will definitely become the heir apparent.

…

"You mean, you're planning to conspire with the Crown Prince?" Xuan Yu said in a low voice.

Wan Ge simply smiled and left without answering him.

When Wan Ge left, Xuan Yu did sense an unusual aura; it was the Dark Guard.

She really does have a skilled person secretly following her; what she said is true.

At the same time, Xuan Yu was also glad that she had calmed down just now, otherwise her father would definitely have found out if she had really laid a hand on him.

Xuan Yu was unaware that the emperor had long noticed his abnormality and was aware of his character, but there were more important matters at hand, so he did not want to deal with him for the time being.
