Mu Zhuochen still couldn't understand why Wan Ge thought he wanted to kill him, even though he had done something wrong.
He originally thought that she was so wary of him because he was too ruthless and for various other reasons, but he never expected that she always thought he wanted her dead.
Mu Zhuochen really didn't know which of his actions would make him think that he was so untrustworthy.
…
When Mu Zhuochen approached Wan Ge again, Wan Ge walked closer to him and took his arm, saying, "Your Majesty... A-Chen, I don't want to stay here. Can you take me back?"
Wan Ge looked at him with her beautiful eyes, which held a pitiful pleading look.
Mu Zhuochen couldn't remember the last time he saw Wan Ge act coquettishly towards him.
All I know is that Wan Ge was still alive at that time. He was still that carefree little prince who would grab my sleeve and act spoiled, and sweetly call me "brother," only to be corrected by his father to call me "royal uncle."
"Ah Chen?" Wan Ge called softly again. Actually, she didn't know if she could succeed. She just wanted to try and leave this place as soon as possible.
Once back in the palace, Wan Ge will have a way to find out if Yang Yuan is safe.
Mu Zhuochen knew perfectly well that Wan Ge's softened attitude was only to escape from his side, but seeing her like that, Mu Zhuochen couldn't help but soften his attitude as well.
"Want to leave? It's not impossible." Mu Zhuochen lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Make me happy, and I can consider it."
Not long after Mu Zhuochen finished speaking, Wan Ge tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.
Mu Zhuochen was stunned at first, and then stumbled away from where Wan Ge was.
…
Just when Wan Ge thought he had no chance, someone actually brought him safely back to the palace.
Upon returning to the palace, the first thing Wan Ge did was to check on Yang Yuan's safety.
However, he knew very well that he was probably surrounded by Mu Zhuochen's spies at this moment, and that Mu Zhuochen probably didn't trust him anymore. He couldn't directly inquire about Yang Yuan's whereabouts.
Using his only remaining power, he escaped Mu Zhuochen's watchful eye and confirmed that Yang Yuan was not in any immediate danger, but was simply confined to the palace. He guessed that Mu Zhuochen had arranged for him to be with him.
Yang Yuan was out of immediate danger, and Wan Ge breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the answer. However, she also needed to think about what to do next. Mu Zhuochen liked her, and even though she was happy inside, it might not necessarily be a good thing, since her identity was the biggest secret.
…
Wan Ge was taken away by Mu Zhuochen for a few days, and she claimed to be sick during these days, which was arranged by Mu Zhuochen.
They arranged for her to be unwell and temporarily unable to handle state affairs. Even though some ministers had doubts, no one dared to say anything.
Especially since more than half of the officials in the court are Mu Zhuochen's confidants, they are even less likely to question him.
…
After returning, Wan Ge went to court as usual the next day. After court, someone came to discuss the selection of candidates with her.
The selection should have been finalized two days earlier, but Wan Ge got sick.
Wan Ge glanced at Mu Zhuochen's subordinates beside her, picked up the item, casually flipped through it, and selected a few women to assign ranks to.
Now that these people have shown no interest in indulging in women, there's no need to pretend anymore; anything goes.
