Ling Xiangyi's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still took the other person's hand.
Seeing her shy expression, Wan Ge realized something and wondered if she would be heartbroken after learning her true identity.
Because they were both women, Wan Ge didn't think much about it when she was with her, forgetting that the other person didn't know about it.
…
When Wan Ge returned, the entire court was filled with praise, and Yan Yun Jing also saw the person she had been longing for.
That night, he lay down contentedly next to Wan Ge, but was soon disturbed by hurried footsteps.
The eunuch shouted from outside, "It's terrible, Your Majesty! The princess... the princess has deposed her husband!"
Wan Ge got up abruptly and glanced at the person beside her: "Did you do this?"
Yan Yun was surprised and replied, "It was just to let her see what kind of person she likes. I didn't expect her to be so extreme. You get some rest, I'll go check on her."
"Of course I'll go there myself. Don't worry, just wait for me to come back." Wan Ge patted his head to comfort him.
"Okay." Yan Yun had seen everything she had done over the past six months.
Suddenly, she realized that the other person was even more capable than she had imagined, and that she had never been spoiled by her; she had just been hiding her true abilities.
I dare not imagine how far she could go if she truly desired the throne and were now fighting me for it.
…
Wan Ge got up and dressed immediately.
Two quarters of an hour later, she appeared at the princess's residence. Mingyue was still holding a sword in her hand, the blood on the sword already beginning to congeal. The people inside the room were still shouting, "Meng Wanyue, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! How dare you!"
Mingyue didn't seem to care about this until she saw Wan Ge appear.
"Royal brother."
Wan Ge stood in front of her and sighed: "You acted too impulsively this time."
"It's clearly his fault. How could he dare to have affairs with other women? He's been lying to me all along."
"Do you have any evidence?"
“I witnessed it with my own eyes, and the maid also testified to it.”
"They are all your maids."
"I am a princess, I witnessed it with my own eyes, and so many maids testified as well, isn't that enough?"
“The maids are all your people. Because you are a princess, they say you are abusing your power.”
"Oh, right, I... I also have their correspondence, as well as letters about Jiang Chuluo's conspiracy with Minister Jiang. I didn't give them to my brother before because I loved him, but now I'm giving them all to you."
After saying that, she hurriedly told the maid to get it. Wan Ge just glanced at her quietly. She really was the original owner's good sister. She clearly had evidence and knew they were plotting, but she didn't let the original owner know anything about it.
…
Soon the maid brought the things, and Mingyue quickly presented them to her: "The things are all here, Your Majesty, you must do me a favor."
Wan Ge took the other person's things and looked at the person in front of her: "Meng Wan Yue, will you ever really treat me as your older brother?"
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
"You know what they're plotting, but I've never told you. Don't worry, I won't let you die. Leave the capital, and I'll make sure you're well-fed and clothed for the rest of your life. We don't need to see each other again."
Even knowing her sister was this kind of person, the original owner still couldn't bear to part with her because of lingering feelings. So Wan Ge had no choice but to send her away. She would provide her with enough to eat and wear, but whether she would make a mess of her life in the future was no longer her concern.
…
Three months after Mingyue left the capital, Wan Ge heard someone report that the princess had fallen into a dry well, resulting in her being paralyzed.
When Wan Ge heard this, she was stunned for a moment: "Why did she fall into the well?"
The person kneeling on the ground replied, "The princess originally intended to threaten the nanny with suicide by jumping into the well, hoping the nanny would provide her with a better life. However, she accidentally fell into the well, so..."
So it was all her own doing. Wan Ge sighed, "Then let someone take good care of her."
Given Mingyue's pride, knowing that she is paralyzed, her will to live must be weak.
Wan Ge originally intended to let the other party go according to the original owner's remaining will, but only let the other party suffer a little. After all, she had done so much to the original owner in her previous life, so it was already very kind of her to just let her suffer a little.
Wan Ge knew that the other person would definitely cause trouble given their personality, but she never expected them to cause her this much trouble.
However, she brought all of this on herself, and has no one to blame but herself.
…
Two years later, Ling Xiangyi became the Right Chancellor. With her in charge, Wan Ge was able to implement some new policies concerning women with great success, and there were more and more women serving as officials in the court.
Although things didn't go smoothly at first, they gradually became smoother thanks to Yan Yun Jing's support.
Moreover, many women, after receiving education, are more eager to succeed and do not want their lives to end up like this, so they work harder than some men.
Gradually, their strength was recognized, both in the imperial court and among the common people.
Looking at the peaceful and prosperous court, Wan Ge felt it was time for her to reveal her true identity.
The festival is coming soon, and Wan Ge has decided to reveal her identity after the festival.
…
On the day of the sacrificial ceremony, Wan Ge wore a dragon robe and stood on a high platform.
The weather was clear at that moment, and as Wan Ge stood on the high platform, suddenly a hundred birds came to pay homage.
Upon seeing this, the officials immediately knelt on the ground and shouted that His Majesty was wise.
After lighting an incense stick, Wan Ge suddenly felt dizzy and took a step back.
Yan Yun was startled and quickly helped the other person up. Before Wan Ge lost consciousness, she saw how anxious the other person was.
