If Wan Ge is really as she guessed, General Hua won't blame her. After all, it was his son who made a mistake, and what he did was too much.
If he had foreseen this dream earlier, he might have beaten Hua Xun to death long ago. This way of dying is rather dignified.
General Hua also recalled that in his dream, Hua Xun's mother, who was also his wife, was angered to death by that woman, while his son said that his wife was narrow-minded and could not tolerate laughter.
The scene in his dream was truly terrifying.
…
When Wan Ge was carrying the child and looking for Ye Chenzhou, she happened to see General Hua and Madam Hua, who bowed to her.
With one arm around the child and the other helping General Hua up, Wan Ge said, "Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua, there's no need to be so polite. I've heard about the young general's situation. Please accept my condolences."
General Hua saw the worry in the other person's eyes—worry about the couple—but no sadness whatsoever for the death of someone he once loved.
He couldn't help but feel that Wan Ge had dreamed the same things as him, which was why she had long disliked Hua Xun and even hated him.
But he was different from his wife; in fact, they were both victims, so Wan Ge didn't hate either of them.
Wan Ge had no idea what the other person was thinking. She exchanged a few pleasantries and expressed her concern when she learned that the other person was leaving.
General Hua said that all good things must come to an end, and they would meet again if they were destined to.
Wan Ge nodded, and learned where they would be living. She said she would visit them when she had time.
Then he watched the two of them gradually leave.
…
A few years after her marriage, Wan Ge discovered that this time was different from the past. In the previous world, many people would have speculated that Ye Chenzhou was taking in many concubines at this time, but in this world, it seemed that no one had mentioned it.
Later, Wan Ge learned that back when Ye Chenzhou was still the Crown Prince, the late Emperor had already said that it was none of their business whether or not someone wanted to get married; they should just focus on doing their own thing.
Later, after Ye Chenzhou came to power, they brought up the matter again, and the person who brought it up was even punished by Ye Chenzhou.
Indeed, it was something even the late emperor hadn't bothered with, so why should they bother with it so much? After that, no one dared to bring it up again.
Moreover, Ye Chenzhou now has a virtuous empress and a smart and beautiful little crown prince, so he can be considered to have an heir. Although they feel that the family line is not enough, they still dare not say anything more.
He dared not mention these things, especially in front of Wan Ge, even though Wan Ge's parents had passed away early and her uncle's position and power were not great.
Unfortunately, His Majesty dotes on him too much, and the young crown prince is so intelligent that he will surely inherit the throne in the future, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
She was personally taught by her mother and is extremely close to her. Offending the current empress is tantamount to offending the current emperor and the future emperor. No one dares to do anything to upset Wan Ge.
Of course, it wasn't that no one wanted to ascend to the throne. After all, the emperor was so handsome and possessed unlimited power as the ruler of a country; there were bound to be women who wanted to throw themselves at him. However, before Wan Ge could even figure out how to deal with these people, Ye Chenzhou had already dealt with them himself. From then on, no one threw themselves at him anymore.
…
Wan Ge also felt that their relationship was particularly stable and they had always been very happy, until one day...
When Wan Ge was looking for someone, she found Ye Chenzhou drinking with a friend she trusted.
He was still thinking to himself, "With his alcohol tolerance, he still drinks."
As I walked over, I overheard their conversation.
His friend said, "You have such a loving queen, such adorable children, and you're so happy. What else could you possibly have to worry about?"
Needless to say, his power and status were unparalleled; who else could surpass him? The small, former border states surrendered silently without even lifting a finger.
When Ye Chenzhou heard what the other party said, his eyes dimmed slightly.
A helpless smile played on his lips: "Actually, I still don't know if the Empress loves me or not, and I dare not ask..."
He was afraid that the other person wouldn't give him the answer he wanted, and even more afraid that after the other person gave him the answer, he would feel that it wasn't right.
Wan Ge has said many times that she likes him, but... but...
…
Helpless, Wan Ge led the person back to the room, asking as they walked, "Why didn't you dare to ask?"
"Because you liked someone else."
"What if I said I don't? What if I like you?"
"Then can you tell me again tomorrow?"
"good."
Even though she knew the other person wasn't drunk at all, and that they wouldn't be like this if they were, Wan Ge still kept her promise the next day.

①I want to know the answer, but I'm also afraid to know the answer.
②I can pretend I don't care, but you tell me I don't need to pretend.
③He doesn't know how to cherish, but I do.
—Ye Chenzhou
