The palace maids and guards outside the door, including the secret guards hiding in the shadows, were all taken aback. The Empress was truly too brave. She dared to call His Majesty by his name and even dared to drive him out. Putting aside everything else, she was definitely the number one person in the world.

Qi Yan sensed that she was very angry, and she couldn't understand why she was so angry. Shouldn't she be the one who was angry?

Qi Yan didn't force the door open; instead, she pondered the meaning behind Wan Ge's words.

As Qi Yan walked, he unknowingly found himself near his own palace, returning to the place where he had first hurt her.

No, maybe it wasn't the first time he hurt her, maybe it was the second or third time?

The first time was when we first met, the second time was on our wedding night, and the third time is here.

Qi Yan thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. She couldn't figure out who the person she liked was, nor could she understand the meaning behind her words.

It is said that those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly. Seeing that His Majesty was still pondering deeply without reaching a conclusion, the little eunuch beside her finally couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, in the common people, only wives who love their husbands would argue in such a tone."

Yes, only women who care about their husbands will argue with them.

If you don't care or like someone, you won't argue with them at all, let alone get so angry.

Qi Yan's head buzzed, and he looked at the little eunuch beside him: "You mean, the person she likes is me?"

Is that so?

The young eunuch was somewhat helpless. His Majesty considered himself wise all his life, and it was rare to see him so troubled in this matter.

The young eunuch nodded. To be honest, he wasn't so sure at first, but it seemed to be the only answer. Otherwise, how could the Empress dare to be so bold as to let His Majesty think for himself?

Qi Yan initially thought it impossible; how could the person she liked possibly be him? She was so cold and disliked her, how could she possibly like him? But…

No, there are no buts. He doesn't want to think for himself anymore.

Qi Yan rushed straight to Wan Ge's palace, but there was no one there. Qi Yan had a very strong bad feeling. Had she really disappeared without a trace?

"Wange, I've thought it through! I've figured it out! You like me, right? Stop hiding, okay?" Qi Yan shouted directly.

The young eunuch had just caught up with His Majesty when he heard His Majesty shout these words.

He felt that the wise and mighty emperor now resembled a rash young man who had just found someone he liked.

At the same time, the young eunuch saw the Imperial Concubine walk past him, go straight into the room, and close the door.

"What are you shouting for? If you know, you know, just stop shouting." Wan Ge had just gone to take a shower, but she didn't expect this man to have been thinking about it all afternoon.

Wan Ge gave the other person time to think it over. She was really not in a hurry and believed that the other person would figure it out sooner or later.

Qi Yan hugged her tightly, saying, "You like me, don't you?"

"Look at you, how can I say you're wrong?"

"No!" Qi Yan was certain; she did like him.

…

Wan Ge led him to a seat, and he sat down. Just as she was about to stand up to pour him a cup of tea, he immediately stood up.

"Sit down, have a cup of tea, dinner will be ready soon." This man hadn't slept all night and hadn't eaten all day. Luckily it was only for one day, otherwise he would have died of a sudden illness sooner or later.
