He was actually not interested in the throne at all. He used to be extremely disdainful of these old subordinates left by his father. If it weren't for the emperor's provocation, he would never have contacted them again.

As for Wan Ge, he thought that when he finally gave her a wedding, everyone would know that she was his wife, so he didn't think about mentioning it to them in particular.

The others exchanged glances and decided to drop the subject: "Recently, His Highness... oh, I mean, the Divine Physician, hasn't met with us. Perhaps that's why we haven't mentioned it."

They didn't know whether they should tell Wan Ge or not. It seemed like Wan Ge didn't know, otherwise why would they say they were his friends?

I don't know what Your Highness wants to do, so it's best not to say.

In fact, they only learned not long ago that Princess Lin'an had become the only princess.

They also knew that Princess Lin'an had previously been particularly fond of His Highness, and that if they could utilize this princess, their path would likely be smoother. However, it now seemed that this method was no longer feasible.

Although Luo Qingmu did not introduce his wife to them, they sensed from the current situation that he was still afraid his wife would be angry.

This fear is not due to terror, but rather to liking.

When you like someone, you care about their feelings and worry that they might have different thoughts.

As people who've been through it, they understand this. When you truly like someone, you wouldn't want to hurt them.

Even if a girl knows it's an act, how could she happily watch her husband act as if he likes someone else?

"is that so?"

Luo Qingmu didn't follow their line of conversation. Instead, he moved closer to her and said, "I'll explain it to you."

"Okay." Wan Ge didn't continue making a fuss and left the living room directly.

Luo Qingmu felt that she had actually guessed it. Yes, how could someone as smart as her not have guessed it?

After all, she had said that if she were to become empress, these people would be anything but simple; it was so obvious that she didn't even need to think about it.

…

…

They discussed for about two hours. Wange even prepared dinner and invited them to stay for dinner, but they all left with smiles on their faces, though the smiles seemed somewhat forced.

Wan Ge leaned gently against the pillar, her gaze falling on Luo Qingmu in front of her: "What did you say to them?"

"I told them I had no interest in the throne." Luo Qingmu gently gripped her sleeve with her fingertips, seemingly afraid to touch her hand for fear of upsetting her.

"That's all?"

Luo Qingmu nodded. What else could they do?

Wan Ge pinched his cheek: "Don't you want me to be the empress anymore?"

"So, do you want to?" Luo Qingmu asked cautiously.

Seeing him like this, as if he could call those people back just by saying "I want to," I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You're always like this."

"What?" Luo Qingmu looked confused.

Wan Ge threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly: "You always make me angry, but I can't be angry when I look at you."

Perhaps this is also a kind of love!
