How could someone like that be worthy of Wan Ge? Mu Zhuochen's eyes were full of displeasure.
Wan Ge silently stepped in front of Yang Yuan, her careful and protective manner making Mu Zhuochen's expression even worse.
Although he didn't say it, Mu Zhuochen was always aware of Wan Ge's fear and apprehension towards him, and he saw it all. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he never wanted to change anything.
There's nothing wrong with respecting or fearing him; that way, Wan Ge would never forget him for the rest of her life. But now, seeing Wan Ge so protective of someone and so wary of him, he can clearly feel a sharp pain in his heart.
"Uncle..." Wan Ge looked at him for a long time without speaking, and called out softly.
Mu Zhuochen responded with a sound of agreement, and then said, "It's nothing. I just heard that His Majesty has bestowed the title of Zhaoyi."
Wan Ge cleared her throat and then said, "I know this matter is somewhat inappropriate, but A Yuan and I are in love, and I even met her when we were children."
"oh?"
“When I was five years old, I went to a temple with my mother to burn incense and met Ah Yuan there. I never thought we would meet again now.”
Mu Zhuochen gave Yang Yuan a deep look, then asked the young emperor beside him, "You like her very much?"
After listening to Wan Ge, she nodded immediately, her eyes clear and innocent, not at all like she was lying.
Mu Zhuochen simply hummed in agreement and said, "Even with a beauty in your arms, Your Majesty should not forget the important matters."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Wan Ge's reply.
Wan Ge watched him leave silently, then led Yang Yuan back into the house.
…
The door had just closed when Yang Yuan gulped down a cup of tea, breathing heavily, "You scared me to death! Your aura as an imperial uncle is just too overwhelming!"
Wan Ge reached out and touched her head, sighing helplessly: "Otherwise, why do you think I'm so afraid of him?"
"I hope he won't kill me later!" Yang Yuan sighed.
Wan Ge smiled and shook her head: "Probably not. Don't worry. If he wants to kill you, I will definitely stand in front of you and die in front of you."
"Don't talk nonsense, we will definitely live well."
Yang Yuan handed Wan Ge another cup of tea: "Speaking of which, didn't you ever think about running away?"
Living under the watchful eye of a living devil every day, who knows when you might just die? Haven't you ever thought about leaving?
"If he wants to kill me, where can I run to?" Not to mention that the palace is full of his spies and I can't escape, even if I could escape the palace, with his power and ability, there would be nowhere to hide in the world.
"That's true, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here with you!" Yang Yuan reached out and hugged Wan Ge.
They had actually met when they were children, that's the truth. But Yang Yuan knew she was a girl.
That year, Yang Yuan's biological mother was still alive. She followed her mother to the temple to burn incense, and as was customary, her mother would stay for a period of time each time.
It was at that time that Yang Yuan met Wan Ge. A "little boy" dressed in brocade clothes fell into the water. Yang Yuan, who was a good swimmer, saw this and immediately jumped into the water and pulled the "little boy" ashore.
It was around that time that she discovered the other person was a girl, not a boy. Perhaps it was because of the life-saving grace, or perhaps because they were of similar age, but the two got along very well.
Although Wan Ge was more precocious than other children at that time, you were still only a five-year-old child. Facing your best friend and savior, you told him your true identity.
