Although the person in front of her was smiling when he said this, Wan Ge could clearly feel the disgust in his eyes.
Moreover, when she gets close to this person, Wan Ge always feels an inexplicable sense of disgust, a feeling she only had when facing people she disliked in the past.
The Empress Dowager reached out her hand, intending to touch Wan Ge, but Gu Wan grabbed Wan Ge's hand directly.
The Empress Dowager glanced to the side, her eyes filled with anger, as if to say, "Who does he think he is, daring to obstruct her?"
Gu Wan remained silent, her expression aloof, her deep eyes coldly fixed on the Empress Dowager.
Just then, the prince and Chu Lan'an also walked over.
Chu Lan'an was slightly taken aback when he saw his mother: "Mother."
After his father's passing, his mother had been staying in her palace, and he hadn't seen her for a long time. If it weren't for their kinship, Chu Lan'an would even have felt that the prince treated him better than the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager didn't give her son a second glance; her gaze was mostly on the Prince.
The prince paid no attention to her, his gaze fixed on his beloved daughter. He took off his cloak and draped it over Wan Ge.
"It's getting cold, Ge'er, don't catch a cold." Although Gu Wan was taking care of her, and Wange had hardly ever been sick, her constitution was still very weak. Under these circumstances, the prince was still very worried that she would get sick.
Gu Wan quietly helped Wan Ge tidy up, and then led her to the place arranged by Chu Lan'an.
The prince had already entrusted everything to Chu Lan'an, so there was no need for him to attend this occasion. He'd rather spend time with his daughter; after all, he wouldn't be so busy from today onwards.
The prince also left with Wan Ge. Chu Lan'an silently watched his mother's expression. He felt that his mother's reaction was a little strange.
"Mother?" Chu Lan'an called out again. Only then did the Empress Dowager turn around, look at her son, and leave without saying anything.
Watching the other person leave, Chu Lan'an fell silent even more. He didn't understand why…
In fact, he knew that his father and mother had never had a good relationship, especially his mother, who was particularly cold to his father and didn't like him either.
After his father passed away, his mother never came out. He thought he had misunderstood before, and that his mother actually loved his father very much, which was why she was so sad when his father left her.
But now he felt a little lost... Just a short distance away, he saw his mother take the initiative to talk to Wan Ge.
But after all these years, he has never spoken to her, and he even suspects that she might dislike him.
"Brother Lan'an, what are you thinking about standing there?" Chu Lan'an heard a familiar voice, then turned around to look at Dai Jingyue standing not far away.
Dai Jingyue was the daughter of a general, but her whole family died on the battlefield, so she was the only one left. Later, she was granted the title of princess and lived in the palace.
Perhaps because neither of them had a father, Chu Lan'an and Dai Jingyue always felt like they were fellow sufferers, so they were naturally closer than others.
This was probably the only glimmer of warmth in Chu Lan'an's strict life.
"It's nothing." Chu Lan'an looked at Dai Jingyue who was approaching him. Her whole family had sacrificed themselves on the battlefield, while he clearly still had family, but it was as if they didn't exist.
