Why is he using such a warning, like he's warning a love rival, on me? She likes Wan Ge a lot, but it's just a friendly liking; I don't have any special fetishes. Besides! I already have someone I like! What's with that inexplicable warning?! Humph!

However… when he talked about inheriting the throne and such, Qi Yaojin really had a headache.

Actually, she also talked about this with Wan Ge this afternoon...

…

In fact, after court today, Qi Yaojin heard that the general intended to nominate her as the crown princess. Although the emperor had not immediately agreed to Mu Qiluan's support, it was practically a done deal.

She was also surprised because she didn't understand why the other party would choose her, and she had never thought of it that way before.

Later, feeling upset, she went out for a walk and unexpectedly ran into Wan Ge. Although she had only met Wan Ge a few times, she felt that the two of them got along very well, and she also liked this very beautiful young lady.

So I took the initiative to go up and greet her, and after chatting for a while, she invited me to her home.

Out of curiosity, she asked what she thought of General Mu, and then she began to tell him their story.

After she learned more about me, I told her about my current situation.

Qi Yaojin wanted Wan Ge to persuade Mu Qiluan not to choose her as the crown prince.

But at that moment, Wan Ge asked her in return, "Then, who do you think is suitable?"

Her question caught her attention. She used to think her brother, the Crown Prince, was the most suitable, even though he wasn't very good to her, he seemed good in many ways. She just never expected things to turn out this way.

Although the third prince has some foresight, he is narrow-minded. If he inherits the throne, not only himself, but also his other brothers and sisters will likely be harmed.

The other brothers are another story. They have always lived in the shadow of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and have no opinions of their own. Even if they become emperor, they are unlikely to achieve anything. Now that the world is unified, they may even mismanage the country, leading to another war.

"But I am a woman, can I do it well?" Although there have been cases of empresses, not every woman can become like her, otherwise she would not have become an emperor for all time.

Wan Ge patted her on the shoulder: "Your Highness, you must have confidence in yourself. I believe you will be fine. And you don't need to be afraid, we will fully support you."

Qi Yaojin instantly understood her meaning: not only the Yun family, but the entire Mu family would support her, meaning that the military would obey her orders.

Seeing the woman's confident demeanor, Qi Yaojin asked with some curiosity, "If you're so sure, aren't you afraid General Mu won't agree?"

Although it was indeed his suggestion, it's still uncertain what the other party is really thinking—whether they're willing to be at his beck and call or want him to be their puppet.

“He won’t.” Wan Ge’s lips curled into a faint smile, her beautiful eyes filled with endless tenderness, just like the feeling one gets when interacting with her.

But the other person's eyes held such firmness and confidence, and this confidence and assurance came from Mu Qiluan. Perhaps this is what it means to be loved in a relationship; because she has always been cared for and pampered, she is confident that the person who loves her is willing to do things for her and listen to her.
