Before the other person left, Wange said to her again, "I know who your real master is. If there is a next time, you can still do this as you did today."
Upon hearing Wan Ge's words, the palace maid immediately knelt on the ground.
Wan Ge waved her hand: "Go on, I'm tired."
Wan Ge knew who the other party's true master was, and therefore also knew who the other party should truly serve.
What they said must be true; if I were in danger, they would definitely risk their lives to protect me.
At the same time, she also knew that while her own life was not in danger, she was their greatest threat, because she could do anything to make them lose their heads at any moment.
To save their lives, they reported themselves to Xie Wenjun, which was not wrong. Because in the original story, this is exactly how the original owner of this body harmed them.
Moreover, they learned martial arts from a young age and lived a life of constant danger, so they didn't want to die in a humiliating place. This idea is perfectly understandable.
But... there wasn't a single person around her who was completely loyal to her, and Wan Ge felt inexplicably annoyed.
"When adults are sad, Ruan Ruan will always listen to them." Perhaps sensing that she might be in a bad mood, Ruan Ruan said this very seriously after watching the whole process.
Wan Ge, who was initially in a bad mood, felt much better after hearing what Ruan Ruan said: "Thank you, Ruan Ruan."
"You don't need to thank me, sir. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to start the mission, so I will always side with you, sir."
Wan Ge returned to her bed in a good mood.
…
Wan Ge didn't know how long she had slept; when she woke up, everything was dark.
So she got up and lit the lamp in the room. The palace maid outside the door seemed to have noticed that she was awake and immediately said, "Your Highness, are you awake? The refrigerator has been waiting for you for a long time."
After speaking with the palace maid, Wan Ge locked the palace door from the inside and closed the windows. If Xie Wenjun wanted to come in, he would have to break the window or the door.
But he didn't choose to do that; instead, he kept waiting.
Wan Ge walked to the door and opened it directly.
Wan Ge didn't even glance at him, and walked back to her bed without saying a word.
Seeing her cold attitude towards him, Xie Wenjun panicked and immediately went over to hug her tightly, saying, "Madam..."
Xie Wenjun was about to coax her when Wan Ge interrupted him after hearing the way she was addressed: "Stop, Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that the Empress is your legal wife, and I am merely a concubine now."
No matter how high the status of a concubine is, she is still just a secondary wife.
He demoted himself from wife to concubine and didn't even believe what he said. He's really something. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to say anything more.
After Wan Ge finished speaking, she pushed him away and said, "The fact that Your Majesty came here already shows that Your Majesty has investigated the situation thoroughly. Since you have cleared my name, I have no more grievances. Your Majesty, please leave."
Xie Wenjun hugged the person tightly again, feeling extremely frightened by the other person's cold attitude, as if only by holding the other person tightly could the other person not leave him.
“It was my fault. I was just too angry at the time. I didn’t really want you to become a concubine. To me, you are my only wife.”
"I'm tired, Your Majesty. Please let me go." Wan Ge's breathing was a little rapid, clearly because the other party was holding her too tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe, but she didn't say anything.
Xie Wenjun lowered his head and refused to let go. Wan Ge didn't say anything more to him, but just quietly closed her eyes.
Seeing the other person's indifferent attitude, Xie Wenjun's eyes couldn't help but redden: "Can't you please not be so kind to me?"
Xie Wenjun grabbed her hand again and let her touch his face, just as she always touched his face with loving eyes.
Xie Wenjun then explained, "The palace servants said you went out alone again, this time to see the Dowager Consort's niece. I was worried that you hadn't given up on leaving the palace at all. I was just really angry at the time."
"I know, I have a precedent, and Your Majesty's thinking is not wrong." The original owner did indeed have such a precedent, and according to the original plot, the original owner would still keep trying to leave the palace, so the other party's thinking is not wrong.
but…
Wan Ge thought of the solemn promise she had made to him that she would not leave him, that he was the person she liked and loved, and that she would never betray him.
What was his reaction at the time? He was happy and excited, and his eyes showed trust in her. But how long has it been? A crisis of trust has emerged so quickly.
She realized she had made a mistake by not telling him beforehand, but he didn't trust her, which was why he was so angry. The thought of this made Wan Ge feel even more uncomfortable.
She was already annoyed by not having anyone of her own around, and the added suspicion from the other party made her even more upset.
Seeing that the other person was willing to let go, Wange quickly pushed him away, then crawled into the quilt, covered her head, and ignored him.
Xie Wenjun knew she was still angry, but he didn't realize what exactly was wrong with Wan Ge, so he crawled into the blanket and hugged her again.
However, this time he was facing her back. Xie Wenjun hugged her tightly and coaxed her, "I haven't issued the decree yet. I really didn't want you to become a Noble Consort. I will have the Phoenix Seal returned to you tomorrow."
"No need. His Majesty's word is law, so I am now a Noble Consort. I don't want the Phoenix Seal either. You can keep it if you want, or give it to someone else if you want." The other person still didn't understand what she was angry about.
Wan Ge didn't plan to let the other party know so quickly. If he couldn't guess, then she would wait and see. She would make him demote his wife to a concubine and make him distrust her. Things can't be returned just like that. Before she calmed down, he would have to suffer along with her.
Of course, Wan Ge also wanted him to remember why he was wrong, because if she forgave him too quickly, the other person might not remember.
The issue between the male and female protagonists is not yet resolved, and there may be other changes in the future. Gaining the other party's trust is just the most basic thing.
…
When Wan Ge opened her eyes, she saw a familiar person. The other person's face was a little darker than before, but not by much. His hands, which were originally delicate and tender, were a little rougher, and he was a little thinner overall.
"Your Majesty, you're awake. I'll have someone help you wash up."
Wan Ge reached out and touched her hair: "You've gotten darker and thinner, you've suffered."
Xiaoqin shook her head: "This servant is not suffering. With Your Highness's protection, we have it much easier than other palace maids."
