If they're left there, it'll be easy for the Empress Dowager to find them if anything happens.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." It seems that because of Cang Mu, no one was injured.

She only learned today that Cang Mu was not only the Imperial Advisor, but also a Prince.

…

On the way back, Wan Ge seemed lost in thought. His strategist asked in confusion, "What is the general thinking about?"

Wan Ge looked at the strategist and said, "The emperor of Nanyuan calls me Imperial Aunt, and he calls Cang Mu Imperial Uncle. So how old is Cang Mu?"

The strategist paused slightly. If the emperor were in his twenties or teens, it would be normal for him to have a young uncle, but he is his age now…

"General, your husband... who exactly is this so-called prince?"

Wan Ge patted him on the shoulder and replied, "Looks younger than you."

The strategist felt something was off about that statement, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Perhaps it's a matter of the prince's seniority."

They might not necessarily be the father's biological brothers; they could be cousins ​​or something similar.

Or perhaps it's because "His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyuan looks older than his age?" Or maybe it's related to the Gu worms.

Their magical Gu worm might have some miraculous effects. Besides… “Didn’t His Majesty send you to find the Longevity Gu? Maybe it is the Longevity Gu.”

I just don't know what this Longevity Gu looks like or what its effects are.

It's said that it can cure the Empress's illness, which must be quite miraculous.

Wan Ge thought what the other person said made sense. It seemed she needed to ask Cang Mu how old he really was. But the other person was currently in seclusion practicing Gu cultivation, so she would have to wait until he came out before asking him.

…

The strategist also learned that Wan Ge and the Prince of Nan Yuan fell in love at first sight, and that the Prince was willing to help her refine the Longevity Gu so that she could take it back.

But... I wonder what His Majesty will think when he finds out about this.

However, His Majesty's goal is for the general to bring back the Longevity Gu to cure the Empress. Since the general has already done so, His Majesty should not make things difficult for him.

Everyone knows His Majesty loves the Empress very much, but...

As the general's childhood sweetheart, and having followed her for so long, how could the strategist not know what the general was thinking?

In truth, the strategist didn't believe that Wan Ge truly loved Cang Mu; it was possible she was only after the Longevity Gu. After all, everyone could see that the general had always loved His Majesty.

…

About half a month passed, and Cang Mu still hadn't come out. Bored, Wan Ge lay on the small boat, her fingertips gently touching the dew on the lotus leaves.

Just then, a rather noisy sound was heard.

As Wan Ge got off the small boat and walked to the door to see what was happening, a young girl suddenly ran out and hugged her.

The young girl looked at her with her beautiful eyes filled with joy: "Great-Grandma."

? ? ?

As Wan Ge listened to the way the other person addressed her, she wondered if these terms of address had become increasingly inappropriate since she arrived here.

"Who are you?" Wan Ge looked completely bewildered.

At this moment, her maid explained to her, "This is His Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty's eldest grandson."

In Nanyuan, women can also become emperors, and the eldest grandson of the emperor is the best candidate for crown prince in every respect.

Canglan explained to the other party, "I took my little husband on a trip, otherwise I would have met my great-grandmother sooner."
