An Shuke clenched her hands tightly. Could it be that Ji Wange and His Majesty's change in these past few days was because they knew about this?
No…no, His Majesty already knew that Ji Wange was involved in the incident back then, so what use is it if Ji Wange knows or not? His Majesty would definitely not distance himself from her because of this matter, so what is it that she doesn't know?
An Shuke, who was deep in thought, did not notice that someone was standing outside the main hall and had overheard their entire conversation.
Ye Zhaobai had originally heard that the Empress had already sent the young general back, so he wanted to come and see how Wan Ge was doing and whether she was still angry. He never expected to hear such a scene.
So Ke'er already knew it was him, so why did she say and do those things? What was her true intention?
Ye Zhaobai suddenly felt a void in his heart, a feeling of extreme unease. Thinking of Wan Ge's conversation with An Shuke and seeing how nonchalant An Shuke seemed, he felt he had lost something very important.
…
Half a month had passed since the emperor went to see Wan Ge. During those two weeks, he did not step into the inner palace once and did not favor any of his concubines.
The ministers all believed that Ye Zhaobai truly loved Wan Ge, and even though she was now pregnant and unable to do anything, His Majesty was unwilling to betray her and preferred to spend more time on governing the country.
However, such an emperor is not a good emperor. Some people have suggested that Ye Zhaobai should favor more concubines to produce more offspring for the royal family.
However, Ye Zhaobai always manages to avoid such topics.
However, Ye Zhaobai's expression always seemed a little off whenever the Empress was mentioned.
Shu Qingmu silently clenched his fists. He was starting to worry. Wan Ge had said she wanted him to experience the feeling of unrequited love, but he was very concerned…
Wan Ge used to like him so much. What if she really saw him and regretted it? Would she accept him back? No, that kind of thing must never happen!
…
That evening, Wan Ge looked at Ye Zhaobai, whom she hadn't seen for half a month, with a puzzled expression, but when her gaze finally fell on the secret passage, she suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, please feel free."
"Wange, I'm not..." He didn't come here to use the secret passage.
"Oh." Wan Ge replied calmly, then said nothing more, her gaze returning to the chessboard in front of her.
Ye Zhaobai sat down opposite her: "How about I play the next game with you?"
“I said, Your Majesty, please do as you please.” Wan Ge placed the black piece on the chessboard.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the originally stable situation completely changed. At this moment, Wan Ge was in complete control. When a black piece was placed, Wan Ge won the game.
"I never knew you were such a good chess player." She was once hailed as the most talented woman, and she truly is extraordinary.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to know what I like, does he?" He never cared anyway.
Ye Zhaobai paused, then saw Wan Ge lying on the soft couch.
It seems that ever since I can remember, Wan Ge has always slept in this place, except for the last time when she was injured and brought back to lie on the bed.
But he also knew that Wan Ge had gone back to bed shortly after waking up, and did not want to stay in bed.
Ye Zhaobai's gaze fell on the bed, the place where he and An Shuke had shared countless nights of passion. Was it because of this? Was Wan Ge jealous? That's why she hadn't wanted to sleep there anymore.
