As Cang Mu finished speaking, he took out a small bottle from his person. Inside the bottle was a pale red butterfly: "If you want to find me, call my name to the butterfly in the bottle, and I will know that you are looking for me."
Is this a call from Nan Yuan?
Cang Mu looked at the curious look in her eyes and didn't tell her that in Nan Yuan, only two people who love each other would use such Gu worms to communicate.
"Wait for me to come back." Cang Mu lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then left.
Wan Ge examined the Gu worm in her hand but couldn't see anything strange about it, so she put it into her sleeve.
Soon, several women, carrying clothes, led her to the hot spring where Cang Mu usually bathed.
…
In a grand hall, a man dressed in black with ancient patterns embroidered on his clothes immediately stood up when he saw Cang Mu arrive.
An aged voice spoke, "I heard that the Imperial Uncle brought back that woman from Beige."
Cang Mu gave a faint "hmm".
Emperor Nanyuan began, "We've already investigated. Su Wange is Beige's General Who Guards the Nation; she's incredibly skilled in martial arts. She's led Beige in countless battles over the years. She's a very dangerous figure to others..."
For Nan Yuan, this shouldn't pose any threat. However, the other party is of great significance to Bei Ge, and if he doesn't return the person, it might cause trouble.
The emperor wasn't afraid; he was just quite content with his carefree life and wasn't very interested in things like war.
Cang Mu did not answer him, his indifferent expression seemingly gesturing for him to continue.
The emperor spoke softly again, "Since she only wants the Longevity Gu, why don't we..."
Why don't we just give it to her and let her go back quickly to avoid causing them any trouble later? Besides, Nan Yuan doesn't like having outsiders around.
Cang Mu rested his chin on one hand, while the fingertips of the other lightly tapped the armrest of the chair. Finally, he spoke in a detached tone, "So, you intend to return my wife?"
Now that Wan Ge is by his side, she can no longer come and go as she pleases.
The emperor was about to answer "yes," but just as he was about to speak, he seemed to realize something: "What did you mean by what you just said, Imperial Uncle?"
Wait! What did he just hear? He thinks he didn't quite catch it. Can he hear it again?
Cang Mu did not repeat his words, but simply looked up and glanced at him indifferently.
"Imperial Uncle... are you serious?" This man, who has been single for who knows how many years, is going to get a wife??
"You can joke about something like this?" And does he seem like the type to joke around?
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. My wife is waiting for me to come back." I wonder if Wan Ge has finished bathing yet.
The emperor remained in shock for a long time after Cang Mu left, but his tone confirmed that he was serious.
…
Cang Mu returned to his palace, but learned that Wange had not yet finished bathing, so he went to the door to wait for her.
Before long, they suddenly heard the sound of silver bells.
Cang Mu looked up and saw Wan Ge walking out from inside, wearing Nan Yuan's clothes.
Nan Yuan's clothes weren't like Bei Ge's, which covered her up completely. Most of her arms were exposed, and when she walked, her legs could be vaguely seen through the slits in her skirt.
