She wasn't his wife and didn't want any contact with him, so he should just go to sleep and there was no need to disturb her.
Wan Ge nodded and then went back to her room.
…
When Wan Ge went to court the next day, many people congratulated her, but some of the looks they gave her made her feel very uncomfortable.
She was still wondering what had happened, how it could be so inexplicable.
It wasn't until Si Kou Lingyue passed by that Wan Ge walked alongside her and whispered, "What happened?"
Wan Ge arrived quite late today, and there were already many people there, so she had no idea what was going on.
Si Kou Lingyue spoke softly, "Doesn't the Imperial Advisor know yet? His Majesty has already decided to marry you to His Highness the Ninth Prince. The imperial decree was issued yesterday and is just waiting to be read at court later."
Thinking of the Empress's behavior yesterday, Wan Ge wondered if she still had the mind to arrange a marriage for her. It was simply impossible. At this moment, her gaze fell on the Third Princess not far away.
The Ninth Prince is the Third Princess's younger brother, born of the same father and mother, so the two have always had a close relationship and are very good friends.
However, it is still uncertain whether this imperial edict was issued by the Third Princess or the Crown Princess.
Si Kou Lingyue glanced at Wan Ge and sensed something was off about her, so she asked, "What's wrong? Is something fishy about this?"
Does the Imperial Advisor feel that something is amiss?
Wan Ge snorted coldly: "The Empress probably hasn't even woken up yet. Do you really believe that she had already decided to bestow a marriage upon me before even attending court?"
Si Kou Lingyue was stunned upon hearing this. Could it be? If the Empress hasn't awakened yet, then what about the imperial edict?
Wan Ge was anxious to find Wei Shengyi, but she saw him standing behind the crowd. When he saw her, he immediately looked away, seemingly unwilling to meet her gaze.
Wan Ge thought the other person was angry, but she didn't know that Wei Sheng was angry, but not angry at her.
Wei Sheng also didn't want to confront her, because he was worried that she would see him in such a jealous state.
…
Soon, the Empress's maid arrived, first announcing that the Empress was unwell and unable to attend court, and then reading out an imperial edict. It was indeed to bestow a marriage upon Wan Ge.
The Third Princess was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Of course, she didn't know whether her mother, the Empress, had woken up or not. She was also wondering what this meant. Did they want her to win over the Imperial Advisor? But hadn't she always wanted her eldest sister to ascend to the throne?
Seeing that Wan Ge hadn't moved for a long time, the other party coughed softly and then asked, "Why doesn't the Imperial Preceptor accept the imperial decree?"
Wan Ge merely glanced at the other person indifferently, then coldly said, "Falsifying an imperial edict is a capital offense. Has Lord Tong thought it through?"
All the ministers were stunned by these words, and some even began to whisper among themselves, asking what was going on.
The female official holding the fake imperial edict was momentarily at a loss for what to do and stood there stunned.
Wan Ge stood up immediately and left without waiting for the female official to say that the court session could end.
When Wan Ge left, she deliberately passed by the Crown Princess, giving her only a cold glance with her deep eyes.
In that single glance, the Crown Princess was filled with dread. Did she know? In that instant, she had already guessed it was her? Impossible!
But if you didn't guess it, why look at me like that?
