Yue Qiwan returned to the carriage, but Wan Ge noticed that the other woman's hand was still clutching her sleeve, and she looked up at her as if she was begging her not to leave.
Wan Ge initially planned that she would never be able to see her little baby again in this lifetime, but she never expected that this would make the other person so dependent on her.
Wan Ge reached out and touched his head, speaking gently, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'll stay here and not go anywhere."
He was standing guard outside his carriage and wouldn't go anywhere.
Yue Qiwan looked at her with her beautiful eyes, gently hummed in agreement, and then obediently released her sleeve and quietly sat back in the carriage.
While inside the carriage, Yue Qiwan blushed slightly, thinking of how the other person protected her and how gentle they were when they spoke to her.
This was the first time he had ever seen a woman so gentle, especially one who was a legendary, ruthless general.
This young prince, who had always been afraid of women, experienced love for the first time.
But soon he lowered his head again, remembering his shameful past, and how she was the one who saved him, and how she had seen all his shameful moments.
He felt he was an impure man, unworthy of such a fine general. His budding romantic feelings were instantly extinguished.
…
When they arrived at their resting place, Wan Ge said softly to the person inside the carriage, "Your Highness, please get out and rest for a while."
Upon hearing the sound, Yue Qiwan lifted the curtain of the carriage and, with Wan Ge's help, landed steadily on the ground.
At this moment, the Empress, who was standing not far away, took in the whole scene.
No one can resist such a handsome general, so good-looking, with such a distinguished military record. He also inspires such a strong sense of security…
The Empress never imagined that even her own son would fall for her. She only remembered Wan Ge's earlier statement that she already had someone she loved, and seeing her unmoved demeanor, it seemed she could never love again in this life. She feared…
The woman her son could ever meet again in his life could never reciprocate his feelings.
The Empress sighed, but in her heart she thought that her son was not entirely averse to women, and perhaps he would be able to meet other women in the future.
…
The villa where they are currently staying is the first stop on each journey. Because the journey is long, they already had a villa for resting.
During their break, they also discussed the assassin.
The Empress also learned about the decision Wan Ge had made back then. Since it was her own fault, Wan Ge decided to resolve the matter herself.
After they left, only the Empress and Wan Ge remained.
Looking at the full moon outside, the Empress sighed softly and turned to look at Wan Ge in front of her: "Do you think my decision back then was wrong?"
The world has been unified, but it seems that it is not completely unified.
"Your Majesty is not wrong. Human desires are endless. Even if Your Majesty did not do this, others would have." It just so happens that she had the power to do so, so she achieved the unification of the world before others.
Moreover, she doesn't seek to plunder anything; she simply wants peace, true peace. Even if other small countries are defeated, their people will still be people, they won't be forced into military service, and they will enjoy the same human rights. It's just that other countries find it hard to believe this now.
Even in the age of science, in an era that pursues equality for all, wars still occur, let alone in the present day.
