"You're asking for it." Shu Qingmu grabbed Ye Zhaobai by the neck with one hand and lifted him up.
"Brother Qingmu, you can't kill him!" Wange quickly stepped forward and had someone release Ye Zhaobai.
Shu Qingmu stiffened, but finally let go of his hand, not daring to look back at the person behind him.
Ye Zhaobai, who had fallen to the ground, immediately laughed, as if to say: See, Wan Ge likes me.
The next second, Ye Zhaobai was stunned. Wan Ge tiptoed and kissed Shu Qingmu on the cheek, then said, "Didn't we agree that you'd give me six months to get revenge? Killing him now isn't appropriate. Besides, it would be too easy for him to die now."
"Wange, what are you talking about? Revenge? Is it about me?" Ye Zhaobai couldn't believe it. Although Wange had said she hated him, he knew very well that it was just because she couldn't have him. Wange just liked him too much.
But now she's hooking up with another man and even saying she wants revenge.
"Otherwise?" Wan Ge bent down slightly to look at the person in front of her, and then slowly said, "I haven't even held you accountable for the time you rode your horse recklessly and injured someone in the street, but you used that incident to make me a shield. Some time ago, you plotted to make my brother treason, arrested him, and almost killed him."
Why do you think I should just accept all of this without seeking revenge?
“But you love me, don’t you? You’ve loved me for so many years. We got engaged when we were so young, and you’ve always been by my side,” Ye Zhaobai said again.
Wan Ge's face grew even colder: "Back then, the late emperor bestowed this marriage upon us because he feared the military power in my father's hands. I accepted it and tried my best to be a good wife to you, but what have you done?"
Ye Zhaobai was speechless for a moment.
Wan Ge turned around and looked at Shu Qingmu in front of her, and continued, "If it weren't for the arranged marriage back then, I might have been Brother Qingmu's wife long ago."
As he finished speaking, he hugged Shu Qingmu tightly.
Shu Qingmu paused for a moment, then hugged the person in his arms tighter, a smile finally appearing on his face.
Back then, Shu Qingmu's father was a high-ranking prime minister, and General Ji held much more power than he does now. Normally, civil and military officials should be opposed to each other and check each other. However, if Shu Qingmu really liked Wan Ge, it wasn't impossible for them to be together.
Especially now that they're this age, if Wan Ge hadn't become empress, becoming Shu Qingmu's wife would have been as simple as a word from him.
They did live very close to each other, had interacted before, and had a very good relationship.
Unfortunately, Ji Wange later became engaged to the Crown Prince and realized that she shouldn't be so close to other men. Shu Qingmu and Ji Wange then tacitly distanced themselves from each other.
Ye Zhaobai staggered to his feet, his face full of hurt: "So the person you like is him? You've always liked him?"
"Yes." Wan Ge gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
Ye Zhaobai burst into laughter and then left Wan Ge's palace.
"Should we go after them?" Shu Qingmu asked the person next to her.
Wan Ge shook her head: "Don't worry, he can't do anything right now, and he doesn't dare to do anything."
Shu Qingmu was well aware that Ye Zhaobai dared not do anything, but knowing that it concerned Wan Ge, he had to be extra careful.
