"What do you mean?" The princess sensed a hidden meaning in his words.
"I only need to ask my aunt one question: Are you aware that General Zhenyuan intends to collude with foreign powers to rebel?" In fact, Qi Yan had never suspected this matter before. Moreover, after he learned about the situation between his parents and aunt, he didn't bother to find out more.
However, judging from her actions towards Wan Ge, the other party might be more complex than she imagined.
"So what if I know? I knew from the beginning! But there's nothing I can change." All she could do was support her husband, but before he could do any of that, he was killed by her younger brother.
The person she loved most was killed by her own brother.
Qi Yan's smile became even more sarcastic: "Then you've never thought about why Father did that, have you?"
After Qi Yan finished speaking, he left directly, leaving the eldest princess alone in the prison.
"What do you mean by that? Qi Yan, don't go!" A bad thought suddenly crossed the princess's mind. No, it can't be!
…
When Qi Yan went out, he saw Wan Ge waiting there. Wan Ge extended her hand to him, and Qi Yan obediently held it tightly. Just when he thought Wan Ge would ask something, Wan Ge didn't ask anything.
Qi Yan subconsciously thought that the reason why her aunt was more complicated than she had imagined was because she had turned her original plan to have Wan Ge sabotage the relationship between the two countries into a plan to secretly communicate with the enemy's envoy.
But the seed had actually been planted in his heart much earlier, perhaps when he learned that his parents were harmed by his aunt.
Qi Yan ultimately did not kill the eldest princess, but imprisoned her in that kind of place, which was more painful for the eldest princess than killing her.
Wan Ge had initially thought that someone as controlling as Qi Yan, who would simply kill anyone who disobeyed him, would actually kill the Eldest Princess, but he didn't. Perhaps Qi Yan wasn't as cold-blooded as depicted in the story.
Perhaps I really can gradually change him a little.
…
Wan Ge felt that since they opened up about their relationship, Qi Yan seemed like a completely different person, becoming much more docile and sensible.
He wouldn't get angry easily, and he wouldn't let anyone watch her all the time. Moreover, he chose a new auspicious day to formally marry her, making her his legal wife and his only wife.
Just when Wan Ge truly believed that he wasn't that controlling, she discovered something amiss in one particular incident.
The incident started when she was getting dressed in the morning and whispered that she didn't really like the style. As a result, the clothing department delivered a new style of clothing at noon.
Wan Ge spoke very softly at the time. Even if the guards had excellent hearing, they shouldn't have been able to hear her, given the distance.
And the only person by her side at that time…
Looking at Ning Lu in front of her, Wan Ge couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that the innocent, loyal little girl who had always protected her master was actually... "Ning Lu, you are Qi Yan's person!"
Looking back now, some of the little details that Qi Yan knew without her knowledge were probably learned from her.
Wan Ge inexplicably felt goosebumps all over her body. Ning Lu had been by Madam Song's side since she was very young, so when did she start obeying Qi Yan's orders?
She betrayed him because she dared not disobey the emperor, or because the time had taken much longer than she had imagined.
