When this happened, everyone started to speculate that Princess Mingyue had fallen out of favor, and why His Majesty was so indifferent to her.
That very night, Mingyue appeared before Wan Ge.
…
Wan Ge glanced at the other person indifferently and said, "On your wedding night, why aren't you with your husband? What are you doing here looking for me?"
"Why didn't you show up today, Your Majesty?"
"Didn't I send Steward Fu to deliver congratulatory gifts?" Wan Ge answered the question while reviewing the memorials in front of her.
"You know I don't want any congratulatory gifts. What I'm asking is why you didn't come? If you didn't come, you wouldn't know what they were saying about me. Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't you like Mingyue anymore?"
Wan Ge found it funny to think about the other person's ungrateful behavior later on. How could she love someone like that? Was she a fool?
"You remember what you want, so what else are you dissatisfied with? You got married because of an affair with someone else, how can I have the face to attend?" Wan Ge's tone was cold, and she didn't even glance at him.
Upon hearing this, Mingyue burst into tears: "Brother, how can you say that? I am your own sister. Jiang and I are in love. How is that considered an act of adultery?"
"Alright, say whatever you like. Anyway, you two are married now, and your wish has been fulfilled. You don't need to bother me with these trivial matters anymore."
"Fine, fine. In that case, I'll never look for you again." After saying that, Mingyue turned and ran away.
Ruan Ruan looked at the other person's heartbroken appearance and found it somewhat amusing: "He has already promised the male lead that he would help him, and he is already thinking about how to pull you down from the emperor's throne. How can he still have the nerve to say such things?"
Wan Ge shook her head helplessly: "Some people are just shameless. I'm also shocked at how she agreed to Jiang Chuluo's proposal, and then came to me and said that I didn't like her anymore. Doesn't she feel even a little guilty?"
After thinking about it, Wan Ge realized that it made sense. If the other party had even thought that way, the original owner wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
…
After Jiang Chuluo became the imperial son-in-law, the position of prime minister remained vacant, and Wan Ge wondered if she should promote Yan Yunjing's people.
But then he thought that if the other person really was him, perhaps he wouldn't have needed to fake his death to escape.
However, Wan Ge looked at the empty seat and asked, "Is the Regent not coming to court today either?"
Wan Ge asked the question casually, but the people below became tense. They didn't know why, but they felt that the young emperor was becoming more and more like a regent.
Finally, it was one of Yan Yunjing's men who answered: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Regent is ill and therefore unable to attend court. Please forgive him."
"Illness? What kind of illness can last for half a month? I need to see what kind of illness is so serious and whether I should bring the imperial physician with me."
"No...no need. His Highness the Regent has a renowned physician in his residence, so there is no need for His Majesty to bring the imperial physician."
"Really? What kind of miracle doctor hasn't cured the Regent after half a month? I'd like to see if this miracle doctor is any good."
…
After the evening court session, Wan Ge left the palace directly.
Yan Yunjing was in her own bedchamber, still clutching the outer garment that Wan Ge had once worn, her eyes glazed over, seemingly lost in thought.
Just then, a messenger came to tell Yan Yunjing that the emperor had arrived.
Startled, Yan Yun realized her excuse of being sick and quickly lay back down on the bed, looking sickly. Only then did she have someone bring Wan Ge in.
After Wan Ge went in, she waved to the people next to her, signaling them to go down. The others exchanged glances and had no choice but to obey.
Wange sat down by Yan Yunjing's bedside and said, "Between you and me, is there any need for my royal brother to hide anything? Weren't you quite bold that day? Why are you too ashamed to see me in the middle of the night?"
"That day...that day I was drunk, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Really? But I didn't smell any alcohol on my brother."
"That's because I can't hold my liquor; I get drunk after just a little bit."
"So that day, Your Majesty was just teasing me?"
Yan Yunjing immediately lowered his head. He really didn't know how to face Wan Ge, and he didn't know why he had impulsively done such a thing.
But he was really jealous that day, and blinded by jealousy, he couldn't help but do that.
He regretted it as soon as he got home and kept worrying that Wange would hate him because of it.
"No, I...I..."
"Shouldn't Your Majesty apologize to me?" Wan Ge met his eyes, her gaze open and unwavering.
Seeing the other person like this, Yan Yunjing felt even more like a despicable person. How could he have done such a thing?
"sorry…"
"I don't need verbal apologies. I only want one person. I wonder if my royal brother can provide that?"
"Who? What kind of person? Man or woman? What's their purpose?" Upon hearing that the other party wanted someone from him, Yan Yunjing tensed up instantly. Was it a rival in love?
"It is your bodyguard, and I will choose it myself." Although she missed the chance to verify last time, she can verify it again now. Wange believes that if the other party is indeed a bodyguard and she has misunderstood, she can confirm it.
What brings you here?
"Your Majesty, just answer whether you will give it or not."
"Okay." It shouldn't be something he dislikes. Since it's what he wants, what is there that he can't give him?
…
A quarter of an hour later, all of Yan Yunjing's bodyguards arrived at the mansion.
After searching for half an hour without finding anyone, Wan Ge looked helplessly at the person beside her and asked, "Just how many secret guards does the Emperor have?"
