General Chu waited for a long time, but the emperor made no move. Even when he wanted to resign, the emperor readily agreed.
General Chu found it somewhat strange, but it was a good thing for him. He had already lost faith in the emperor, and now that the emperor was willing to let him go, it was something to be happy about.
It wasn't until much later, when the strategist came to visit him, that they suddenly started talking about Wan Ge and also mentioned Cang Mu. It was then that the strategist learned that Cang Mu was not only the strategist but also a prince, and that Cang Mu's status in Nan Yuan was even higher than that of the emperor.
Of course, these are all things that happened later.
…
Back in Nanyuan, Wange Road wasn't in such a rush anymore. She slowed down with her beloved, stopping whenever she encountered something fun or enjoyable.
When they were at Yunjing Pass, Wange showed him around Beige's Jiangnan region.
Standing atop the city wall, Wan Ge leaned gently against it. In the past, she had only stood on city walls on the battlefield.
Or perhaps it was when I was very young, watching my father leave from the city walls of the capital.
Cang Mu stood beside her against the city wall, and Wan Ge gently asked, "Is there something you want to ask me?"
I always felt that he had something on his mind. Ever since we left the palace that day, he seemed to have something he wanted to ask me.
Cang Mu asked, "Did you ever like that man?"
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't?" It was the original owner who had liked that man, not herself.
Seeing her serious expression, Cang Mu nodded and said, "I'll believe you if you say so."
Wan Ge reached out and hugged her: "I have never liked him. To be precise, I have never loved anyone except you."
She only loves him and only likes him.
That's just her personality; she's never malicious towards anyone, but the only person she truly loves is him. That's why she marked him in the first place, intending to come back to him no matter what.
Cang Mu held her tightly. He could feel her seriousness, and he knew she was telling the truth.
Although Cang Mu had considered that it was normal for her to like someone else, he still couldn't help feeling unhappy. He would accept it, but he would still be jealous.
If she had never liked him, even if they had been engaged or something, Cang Mu wouldn't think anything of it.
After all, he knew that in Beige, marriages were basically arranged by parents, so he wouldn't care about that.
Wan Ge told the other party, "The reason I wanted to go to the battlefield and guard the frontier before was not for him. It was to fulfill my father's wish."
Her father's only wish was to protect this country and its people from harm. Now that peace has been restored, she has fulfilled her father's wish.
"I went to retrieve the Longevity Gu and brought it back for my uncle, my friends, and my subordinates, so that they wouldn't be implicated by me."
Perhaps because the identity she was given in this world meant she had no relatives, when she received help from those around her all alone, she felt a strong urge to protect everyone who was kind to her.
Cang Mu held her hand tightly: "From now on, I will come back with you to see your uncle every year, okay?"
Cang Mu didn't want her to care about anyone but him from the bottom of her heart, but seeing her like this, he felt gratified. Because his wife was a very gentle and affectionate person.
