Looking at the jade in her hand, Ye Zhao felt both sad and happy. She was sad that she had abandoned her, but happy that Wan Ge was still alive. Ye Zhao carefully put the jade pendant away again.
But at that moment, someone burst in, carrying a sword. His face was grim, and he stormed into Ye Zhao's room.
"General Mu, what is the meaning of this?" Does he know how serious the crime is of coming to see him with a sword drawn and looking like he wants to kill him?
"Ye Zhao, you killed her! Those people were all trying to kill you. It was because of you, Wan Ge, that she suffered all this. Why is she dead but you are alive? Ye Zhao, I'm going to send you to join Wan Ge." With that, Mu Qingzhou raised the sword in his hand.
But the next second a bodyguard appeared and snatched the weapon from Mu Qingzhou's hand in no time.
Weapons are a warrior's partner; without weapons, it is difficult to achieve great things.
Seeing so many people appear, his expression grew even worse: "Look at you! So many people came because of you! But why did you force her to jump off the cliff back then instead of letting your bodyguards show up?"
The leader of the secret guards wanted to defend the emperor, but Ye Zhao gave him a look, so the man remained silent.
The guards simply forced Mu Qingzhou to kneel on the ground.
"Mu Qingzhou, you've fallen for Wan Ge, haven't you? You're even willing to risk your life for her."
"Yes, I like Wan Ge, I love her! I regret it, I regret not realizing my own feelings sooner, I regret not marrying her sooner. That's why you took advantage of me! And now she's in this state. Ye Zhao, Wan Ge clearly doesn't love you, why can't you just let her go?"
"Don't love me?" Ye Zhao snorted coldly. "She doesn't love me, but are you any better than me? She stopped loving you a long time ago. She stopped loving you half a year ago. Didn't you notice? She's very disappointed in you."
"Impossible! Wan Ge and I have been together for so many years, she couldn't possibly not love me, she's just afraid of you!" Mu Qingzhou didn't believe a word Ye Zhao said.
"Believe it or not, guards! Mu Qingzhou is plotting to assassinate the emperor. Throw him into prison."
…
…
Two days later, in an inn, Wan Ge heard the news that Mu Qingzhou had been imprisoned. She also heard that he intended to assassinate the emperor.
"What's wrong with Mu Qingzhou? He's a male lead who hasn't even fully developed his wings yet, and he already wants to kill the villain and take the throne?" Wan Ge frowned, indicating her incomprehension.
Ruan Ruan quietly spoke up from the side: "My lord, is there any possibility... that Mu Qingzhou likes you, or more accurately, likes the original owner of this body?"
"What? After Mu Qingzhou came back, he found that I wasn't treating him the same way as before, and he started to miss me? Someone like him liking me is worse than not liking me at all."
Ruan Ruan nodded seriously, agreeing with Wan Ge's point of view. Mu Qingzhou didn't really love her; he only wanted what he couldn't have.
He suddenly realized that apart from the little princess who used to follow him, no one else was as kind to him.
"My lord, Mu Qingzhou still has the protagonist's halo; he can't be beheaded and displayed to the public so soon."
"I see."
Wan Ge gave a reply, put down her teacup, and left the inn.
…
The plague in the palace had long since been completely cured; to be precise, there was no plague at all.
Rumors were circulating that His Majesty was cursed to kill his wives, who were falling from a cliff and dying one after another. The only woman he had taken out of the palace, the Empress, was also killed when she fell off a cliff while being chased by the carriage riders.
