Moreover, she hid herself very well; even someone with profound inner strength might not be able to detect that she knew martial arts.
When Zhiyun learned about the annulment of the engagement, she was extremely angry. She was satisfied with the young general because her mistress liked him.
That's why she had a slight liking for the young general, but it was a liking that had nothing to do with love.
They never expected the other party to be such a person, daring to annul their young lady's engagement; it was simply outrageous.
The young lady was so angry that she fainted, but His Majesty said that the imperial physician was taking care of her and told him to go home first and tell his master not to worry.
Zhiyun really wanted to stay in the palace to take care of her mistress, but she dared not disobey His Majesty's orders and could only obediently return.
Therefore, Zhiyun had no idea what was happening inside the palace.
All she knew was that her young lady's emotions had changed drastically this time. The last time this happened was after the Marquis passed away and when the lady fell ill. It was as if her young lady had grown up overnight. She was always restrained and patient in everything she did. Only when she mentioned the young general did she have the smile that belonged to someone her age.
It's a pity that even the young general let her down. Why did her young lady have to go through all this? The more Zhiyun thought about it, the more heartbroken she became.
However, it's better this way than if the young lady doesn't react at all; that would have really frightened her.
"Miss, what should we do next?" The young lady had just asked her to cooperate in the act, and she had already cooperated. Of course, what she said about acting was actually her true feelings; she was speaking from the heart.
"Let's wait and see how things develop."
…
Hua Xun, whether out of guilt or for some other reason, fell into the water at a banquet and then developed a high fever that wouldn't go down.
During this time, Wan Ge went to a Taoist temple to pray for blessings. She said it was to pray for an old friend, but everyone guessed it was for Hua Xun.
Although the two broke off their engagement, the princess's feelings for him remained unchanged.
…
As Wan Ge was praying, a voice rang in his ear: "It seems you still can't forget him."
When Wan Ge saw the other person appear, she was somewhat surprised that the other person would actually be here, and her eyes even showed a hint of joy.
"You're so happy to see me?" Ye Chenzhou pulled the other person into his arms.
Wan Ge gently pushed the person away. Although she knew there were no gods in this world, because this wasn't a fantasy world, and gods didn't exist here except for the Heavenly Dao, it didn't feel right to be too intimate.
"Of course I'm happy. I'm happier than anyone else to see His Majesty."
"Hmph! That's easy for you to say. I heard you came to pray for the young general? Are you still so attached to him?"
"Pray for him?" Wan Ge seemed to have a hint of amusement in her eyes, then said to Ye Chenzhou, "Your Majesty might as well take a look."
The evening song subtly hinted to the other person to look at the plaque where they were praying for blessings.
Ye Chenzhou opened it and found that it was a blessing from the other party. Wan Ge definitely didn't know he was there, so she had been praying for him.
"Wasn't it said that we were praying for the deceased?"
"What if I said that I felt an instant connection with His Majesty?" Wan Ge looked at him with a very serious expression.
"So your old friend is this old friend."
"Your Majesty can think that way."
"I'm starting to wonder if the reason you were so angry that you vomited blood in the main hall was because you liked him." Ye Chenzhou said this as he watched her speak so earnestly.
The other party's behavior was too calm. Everyone was saying that she loved him so much, but in fact, Wan Ge's feelings for him didn't seem to be as others thought.
She changed too quickly; to be precise, she seemed to accept reality too quickly and start trying to please herself so soon.
Ye Chenzhou knew her current situation and understood that, for him, he was the best choice for her now.
But when she was completely focused on him, he began to doubt her sincerity. If he was truly faking it, he was faking it so well that even she hadn't noticed.
But what if she wasn't faking it... Ye Chenzhou's heart would race whenever he thought of this. What if she really wasn't faking it... what if he really liked him? Ye Chenzhou couldn't imagine how happy he would be.
"What if I really didn't like him, and I completely gave up on him the moment he brought another woman home?"
"oh?"
Wan Ge slowly began to speak: "As you know, he and I grew up together. The late Emperor bestowed a marriage upon us a long time ago, so I could only marry him. Naturally, I care about him quite a bit."
But now? He casually brings back a woman and immediately wants to break off the engagement, showing no regard for the reputation of either family.
No matter what, he should have discussed the matter with both families before deciding on the annulment of the engagement. But the other party did not do that. Instead, he directly annuled the engagement in front of all the civil and military officials, bringing a woman with him. How could she save face?
Since he's already become a laughingstock, he shouldn't expect to have an easy time either. Once the label of being ungrateful and heartless is attached to him, he'll never be able to shake it off.
"So you're just angry, not that you like him?"
"Otherwise?" Wan Ge smiled again, her beautiful eyes looking at Ye Chenzhou in front of her, and continued to speak earnestly: "I only love Your Majesty, from the moment Your Majesty stood on the city wall and looked down."
In fact, Wan Ge also saw the emperor standing on the city wall that day. After all, the emperor was of such high status that many people must have noticed him, and Wan Ge was naturally one of them.
She couldn't see very clearly, but she guessed that the other person was her lover at that time, so her answer wasn't wrong.
