"Ah...Ah Zhao." Wan Ge obediently called out, and the next second she received a passionate kiss from the other party.
After a long time, Ye Zhao released the person and looked at the person who was quietly staying in his arms, as obedient as a long-tamed kitten. He felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart: "Little Ge'er, don't be afraid of me, okay?"
Wan Ge nodded gently, looked into his eyes, and reached out to stroke his delicate, handsome cheek. He only removed his mask in front of her, but unfortunately…
Wan Ge sensed that he treated her differently, but the emperor's affection still made her feel afraid.
“Ah Zhao is my husband, of course I’m not afraid of Ah Zhao.”
"Little Ge'er, you said it yourself, you're not allowed to lie to me." Ye Zhao lowered his head and kissed her again.
…
While Wan Ge was taking a nap, a dark figure stood by the window. Ye Zhao glanced at it and then went out.
The man in black knelt on one knee and presented the results of his investigation directly to Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao glanced at it, then tore the letter in his hand to shreds. "The Grand Tutor is truly in excellent health."
She once tried to control him but failed, and now she's making his daughter target the people he loves.
After the man in black left, Ye Zhao summoned the palace maids and instructed them to keep a close watch on the palace before leaving the Empress's chambers.
…
Finally, Ye Zhao appeared at Consort Yi's Changlan Palace. Ye Zhao sat in the main seat, while Consort Yi and a group of palace maids knelt on the ground.
Ye Zhao put down the tea in his hand, looked at Consort Yi in front of him, and slowly said, "Plotting to murder the Empress is a crime punishable by death. Consort Yi, have you thought about how you want to die?"
The cold blade pressed directly against Consort Yi's chin.
Ye Zhao used his sword to lift the other person's chin, making the other person look up and meet his eyes.
Tears streamed down Consort Yi's face as she looked at Ye Zhao, her heart filled with indescribable sorrow. "Now that Your Majesty has investigated everything, I have nothing more to say. I only wish to ask Your Majesty one question: We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, did you ever have even a little bit of affection for me?"
"No." Ye Zhao answered without hesitation, her voice extremely resolute.
Consort Yi chuckled and looked at Ye Zhao, saying, "Do you know why I've only targeted the Empress all this time? Even if you have many concubines in your harem, they're just there to stabilize the court. You don't care what the reason is for them being sent in."
Even if I were to secure my position as a Noble Consort, to you I would be no different from an ordinary palace maid.
I used to think that this was just how you were, that you didn't like anyone, and that even though I couldn't get your love, no one else could either. Just being able to see you was enough for me.
But things changed after she entered the palace. You touched her! You had never touched any other woman before, but you touched her. She clearly had a fiancé, but you didn't care at all, and even rushed to bring her into the palace overnight.
That day I saw that the way you looked at him was very different. I never expected that my heartless and emotionless emperor would not have this side to him.
I'm so jealous! We were childhood sweethearts, and I'm still the one who loves you the most. I promised to marry you.
Ye Zhao snorted coldly: "You call your father's attempt to control me your childhood sweetheart? Love me? Loving me means trying to drug me? Trying to control me with drugs? As for your promise to marry me, didn't you do that?"
