Xiao Su nodded, being sensible, and didn't ask any questions; she simply did what she was supposed to do.
…
For the next few days, the emperor neither visited Wange's palace nor Anshuke's quarters.
An Shuke didn't know what had happened either; all she knew was that the last time the emperor stepped into the inner palace, he went to the empress's quarters.
Could it be that because she's pregnant, the emperor will really choose someone else? No, Ye Zhaobai isn't that kind of person, otherwise he wouldn't have only touched her out of his three thousand concubines.
General Ji requested to return to guard the border, and the emperor agreed, even allowing the empress to see him off.
No one would think much of it. The Empress was already favored by the Emperor, and now that her brother was going to guard the border, it was only natural for her, as his sister, to see him off.
General Ji looked at his younger sister and reached out to pat her head: "Don't worry, your brother will definitely not let you down."
Wange nodded: "Brother, be careful. Make sure you wear the lucky charm I gave you."
"Alright," General Ji replied, then pulled on the reins and turned to leave.
…
As soon as Wan Ge returned to her carriage, someone covered her mouth. She was startled at first, but the moment the person touched her, Wan Ge knew who it was, so she didn't make a sound.
Shu Qingmu pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and whispered aggrievedly in Wan Ge's ear, "Why don't I have a peace charm?"
Wan Ge took out a sachet: "Inside are some calming incense and a peace charm that I obtained."
Shu Qingmu touched the embroidery on the sachet with her fingertips: "Did you make this?"
The exquisite embroidery was something he had never seen before; even the embroiderers in the palace had never seen such skillful embroidery.
Wan Ge nodded: "Yes, it's for Brother Qing Mu, so of course I embroidered it myself."
“I feel it’s different from Ye Zhaobai’s.” Shu Qingmu knew very well that Ye Zhaobai also had a sachet, which was said to have been embroidered by the Empress.
Wan Ge replied again, "That one wasn't embroidered by me. Don't worry, I only made sachets for Brother Qing Mu."
I've only ever done this for you. Even if the original owner did indeed do it for Ye Zhaobai, it was the original owner, not me.
"From now on, you can only make it for me." Shu Qingmu nuzzled her cheek.
"Okay," Wan Ge replied softly.
Shu Qingmu held the person in his arms in silence for a long time before finally whispering in her ear, "Wange, I don't want to wait anymore. I want to take you home right now, I want to hide you away, and make you belong to me alone."
Even after learning that Ye Zhaobai and Wan Ge are still a fake couple, I still hear them discussing the deep affection between the emperor and empress, saying that they were childhood sweethearts and that the empress is the emperor's wife.
Shu Qingmu felt particularly uncomfortable and unhappy, and wished she could snatch Wan Ge home immediately.
"Be good, within six months, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." Wan Ge was actually well aware that Shu Qingmu had that kind of strength, but Wan Ge wanted to slowly avenge the original owner's grudge.
"Then it's settled. If you haven't resolved this by six months, I'll take matters into my own hands." Six months? Shu Qingmu wasn't sure if she could wait that long.
"Okay. Six months. If I don't do well after six months, then I'll listen to Qingmu-gege completely."
