If the Empress simply feigns illness for a period of time, she can do whatever she wants once she recovers. Moreover, during her illness, any treacherous individuals with malicious intentions will be exposed.
The Empress thought the idea was quite good, but since her sons were not yet married, she would have to wait until they got married before making arrangements.
…
…
Wan Ge and Yue Qimeng were in the palace together. Yue Qimeng actually had complicated feelings when she looked at Wan Ge. She had wanted Wan Ge to help her younger brother, but she ended up tricking him away.
Wan Ge noticed the young female lead looking at her, and with a faint smile, she turned to look at her as well, finally speaking, "Is Your Highness afraid of me?"
Having returned from conquering the land, she already held a high position and great power. Now, she was to marry a prince, which naturally led to much discussion about her in the court. Some ministers even seemed to be considering siding with her.
But Wan Ge really wanted to say that she had absolutely no intention of usurping the throne.
Yue Qimeng shook her head; she knew what Wan Ge meant: "I believe in the Queen Mother."
She trusted her mother, the queen, and those her mother trusted were never wrong. Besides, "Even without my mother's trust, I still trust you."
She didn't know why, but she just felt that Wan Ge wasn't the kind of person who wanted to usurp the throne. Unless she herself became a terrible and incompetent ruler in the future, she would never do it.
Wan Ge was very satisfied with the young heroine's answer. As they walked together, she asked her again, "At Your Highness's age, is there still no one you have a crush on?"
She was a year older than her husband and was also the Crown Princess, so she must have been pressured to get married many times.
Yue Qimeng sighed softly and told the person beside her what she had kept hidden in her heart: "I actually liked someone a long time ago, but he got married later and the person he liked wasn't me."
The young female lead's "white moonlight"—Wange seemed to recall such a person. Actually, her marriage wasn't happy either; later, when Yue Qimeng and Jing Liuyin's relationship was particularly complicated, he even tried to interfere.
It seems like the female lead always encounters male leads like this. Why can't she meet a delicate, gentle, and innocent husband who is then pampered by the empress?
Speaking of which, Wan Ge remembered a male supporting character in the story, who was somewhat related to her—he was Mu's husband's nephew. That male supporting character was fair-skinned and handsome, innocent and gentle, and wholeheartedly in love with the young female lead.
However, he was implicated because of Wan Ge's help in avenging the young male protagonist.
Wan Ge thought she could actually play matchmaker for the two of them, since the female lead hadn't met the male lead yet and might like him.
When Yue Qimeng heard her say that, her cheeks flushed slightly, and then she shook her head: "Let's talk about it later."
In fact, Yue Qimeng didn't know what she was waiting for. She just felt that there was no need to get married so quickly. Maybe she hadn't met someone she was attracted to yet, so she always wanted to wait a little longer.
Now that I see Wan Ge and my younger brother are getting married, should I also make some plans for such a thing?
After all, she will ascend the throne later, and if she is not married by then, there will probably be a lot of people urging her to choose a husband.
Wan Ge didn't say anything, just that she was going to Yue Qiwan's place, and then she parted ways with the Crown Princess.
Yue Qimeng watched her retreating figure. Wasn't she being a bit too arrogant? Always running into her younger brother's room before even being married! Didn't she know that was against the rules? Humph!
