"You really are..." Ye Chenzhou felt his heart beating so fast; he really wanted to marry her as soon as possible.
Ye Chenzhou coughed lightly when he saw the question in her eyes, and then asked her in return, "So what do you plan to do now?"
“He made me lose face, so of course I have to get revenge. This is not enough.”
"So fierce! So vengeful?" Ye Chenzhou flicked her nose, his words sounding like he was saying she was petty, but his tone didn't mean it that way.
"Yes, I hold grudges, so Your Majesty should not let me down."
"You're really bold to say such things to me." Ye Chenzhou shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of doting affection.
Wan Ge seemed indifferent and didn't take the matter to heart.
But he didn't tell Ye Chenzhou why he was so ruthless in his revenge against Hua Xun.
Of course, it wasn't just that the other party broke off the engagement. Not only did he betray a woman, but more importantly, he colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Since the establishment of their country, it has clearly improved the lives of the people in many ways.
During Ye Chenzhou's tenure, nothing bad happened; the country was peaceful and prosperous, and things were originally amicable.
If Ye Chenzhou were a tyrant, and the people were suffering terribly, Hua Xun's actions might have earned him a good reputation.
However, Ye Chenzhou did not do anything bad to the people. The country, which was already becoming more and more prosperous, made many changes that were even better for the people after he came to power.
It may have weakened some powerful families, but it was still bearable, and the powerful families of this era were not considered excessive.
Therefore, Ye Chenzhou was able to tolerate them.
In this situation, Hua Xun was clearly a traitor, abandoning his country for a woman. Of course, Wan Ge wouldn't let such a person go.
Moreover, this was not only her own idea, but also the original owner's wish.
Although the original owner genuinely liked Hua Xun at first, coupled with the manipulation of the plot, she was particularly unfriendly to Yan Xiao.
But she never imagined that Yan Xiao was a spy from an enemy country, let alone that Hua Xun would betray the country.
The reason why the original owner's father became the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor and sacrificed himself on the battlefield was because he deeply loved his motherland and was willing to dedicate himself to the country, not just for his own future.
Before his father, his family was a prominent and well-known clan in the capital, with no shortage of gold, silver, or promising prospects.
Moreover, the Marquis of Zhongyong was a man of both literary and military talents. The original owner's grandfather originally wanted him to pursue a career in literature to avoid the battlefield, but he was determined to serve his country, which is why he went to the frontier.
Unfortunately, he trusted the wrong people, and his best friend betrayed him for his own future, causing him to die at the border.
At the time, everyone thought he had only suffered a temporary setback, which was why he sacrificed himself. Later, the late emperor's investigation revealed that the Marquis of Zhongyong had been betrayed.
The person who betrayed the original owner's father had already had their property confiscated and been beheaded. It was the late emperor who arranged for the two of them to be together, which is how they became friends and went to war together. This is why the late emperor felt so guilty towards the original owner, and thus bestowed upon her the title of princess.
Influenced by his father, after learning about those things after his death, the original owner also harbored a desire to take revenge on Hua Xun.
While the enemy is certainly hateful, what is even more hateful are the traitors, the agents, the lackeys, those who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals and are willing to betray their country.
…
"Is there anything I can do?" Ye Chenzhou looked at the woman in front of him and asked again, still hoping that he could be of some use.
Wan Ge shook her head and said, "Just don't overthink things or get jealous."
"Why do you think I'd be jealous, huh?"
Wan Ge spoke slowly again: "If His Majesty wasn't jealous, he wouldn't be here right now."
The other person appeared here because of those rumors outside. He must have heard those rumors and was unhappy, so he came here to find me.
Ye Chenzhou coughed lightly, not expecting his thoughts to be exposed so easily; it was indeed true.
The reason I'm here is indeed because I got jealous after hearing the rumors.
"It's getting late, let's go down the mountain."
"Okay." Ye Chenzhou led him away from the Taoist temple.
…
Ye Chenzhou sent the person home, and two days later she received an imperial decree from the Empress Dowager inviting her to stay in the palace for a few days.
