"Husband, you're awake." Wan Ge stepped forward happily.
Then the other person pulled her into their arms again; he had heard their conversation.
When he heard what Wan Ge said, his heart skipped a beat.
Hearing her so firmly say that she loved him, Xie Wenjun felt that the other person truly understood him and had guessed it all.
Looking at the upturned corners of his lips, Wan Ge knew that he was in a good mood again, and that he was so happy to hear her say that he loved her.
"Do you believe I love you?"
"I've never doubted it. What, you think I've ever doubted it?"
When Xie Wenjun heard her question, he quickly shook his head. He didn't care about what happened in the past; what mattered most was the present. Now that she knew, she probably wouldn't suspect him of hurting her anymore.
Moreover, he knew everything that Wan Ge had just done. The other party was not afraid of him; instead, they came to take revenge on him.
…
In the end, the neighboring country exchanged five cities for the Ling princess, and the matter was finally settled.
Xie Wenjun's actions also gave the male and female protagonists a better opportunity to reach an agreement with the neighboring country.
However, Ling Qingxiao and the others had no idea that Xie Wenjun already knew about this, but he didn't show it, waiting for the right time to wipe them all out.
As for Ling Meiren's mother, it was all arranged by Wan Ge; she had already faked her serious illness and death and left the Ling residence.
After meeting her mother, Ling Meiren was completely convinced and had been collecting evidence. Now she had gathered quite a bit of evidence and was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to ensure everything went smoothly.
…
After seeing Consort Ling leave the Empress's palace again, Xie Wenjun went straight inside and looked at Wan Ge, who was drinking tea: "You seem to be getting quite close to her lately?"
"Is she doing something for me?"
"For you?"
"Yes, it's not the right time yet. You'll know later."
Although Xie Wenjun didn't know what she was planning to do, he felt in his heart that she wouldn't harm him. He trusted her, and whether it was for his sake or not wasn't that important anymore.
…
Finally, the moon-viewing banquet arrived as scheduled. Many people were eagerly anticipating this event.
Looking at Ling Qingxiao's somewhat haggard face, Wan Ge knew that the other woman hadn't been having a good time lately. But it was all her own doing.
If someone is willing to use any means to achieve their goals, then naturally they should repay her.
"Guards, seize her!"
As soon as Wan Ge finished speaking, a group of people surrounded Ling Qingxiao.
Ling Qingxiao was sweating at the sight. Looking at Wan Ge, she asked in confusion, "What does Your Majesty mean by this? This is a palace banquet. Doesn't Your Majesty want to save face for His Majesty? Why do you have to cause trouble at this time?"
Wan Ge turned her gaze to the person beside her and then said, "Your Majesty, she said I'm causing trouble for you. What do you think?"
"Of course not, I support whatever my wife wants to do."
"Your Majesty, the Empress is trying to arrest me for no reason. Don't you find this inappropriate? And how could she do this during a palace banquet?"
Xie Wenjun replied calmly, "Does the Empress expect you to smash a cup as a signal if she doesn't have someone arrest you now?"
"What...what are you saying?" Ling Qingxiao's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Xie Wenjun glanced at him indifferently: "Do you really think I'm a fool? You're doing things right under my nose, how could I not know?"
At this moment, Wan Ge picked up a pile of letters and the evidence submitted by Ling Meiren, and threw them directly at them: "These are all evidence of your collusion with the enemy and your attempt to rebel. In addition, General Deng had already set off for the border to provide support. The Qiang Kingdom, which cooperated with you, has suffered heavy losses at this moment and probably thinks that you have betrayed them."
"how so?"
Looking at the letter in front of her, Ling Qingxiao suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Ling Meiren beside her: "It was you, wasn't it?! How dare you?"
Ling Meiren laughed immediately: "How dare I? Since I was six years old, I've wanted to kill you all, and now I've finally done it."
"Why? My father is your father too!"
"He is not my father, he is not worthy to be my father. He favors you, he dotes on you? But what about me? In his eyes, I am just a pawn, and my mother is just a plaything that he can discard and humiliate at will."
He turned a blind eye to the insults you and your mother inflicted on us, and you even used my mother to threaten me. I dream of revenge.
This is why, after Wan Ge assured her mother's safety, she agreed without hesitation.
Ling Qingxiao looked at Wan Ge and finally admitted in despair, "I lost."
She just couldn't understand why, after arranging everything so meticulously, it would end up like this.
…
After resolving everything, Wan Ge stood on the highest platform of the palace, looking at the magnificent high walls and the figure moving towards the palace gate. She picked up a teacup and took a sip of tea.
In this bustling palace, some concubines were preparing to leave, while others chose to stay.
Xie Wenjun will no longer select concubines. As for those who have already entered the palace and wish to leave and return home, he will draft an imperial edict to release them. The edict proves their innocence and they can marry normally in the future.
Those who are unwilling to leave will still receive their monthly allowance from the palace as before, and Xie Wenjun will continue to support them as always. However, they must remain obedient and absolutely must not disturb him and the Empress.
