Even after returning to the Prince's residence, Mu Zhuochen's steps were still unsteady. He could hear his own heart pounding rapidly.
The subordinates were puzzled by their master's appearance and wondered what had happened to Mu Zhuochen.
Anyway, starting today—no, I should say yesterday—the prince has been acting strangely ever since, though it's the kind of strangely happy strangeness.
Although I don't know what happened, I'm just glad it wasn't the kind of unpredictable situation where someone could kill me at any moment.
It must have been something very happy that made the prince so happy.
…
It wasn't until the afternoon that Mu Zhuochen suddenly realized that he had been blinded by happiness and that there seemed to be many misunderstandings between them that hadn't been cleared up.
Mu Zhuochen knew that Wan Ge wouldn't run away now, and she couldn't escape anyway. But he couldn't wait to see Wan Ge and explain things to her; he couldn't wait even a second longer.
So after Mu Zhuochen got dressed, he hurried to the palace. When he arrived at Wan Ge's bedroom, no one was there, and the imperial study was also empty.
Mu Zhuochen's face paled slightly, somewhat uncertain, but he still took a step and walked towards Yang Yuan's palace.
As it turned out, it wasn't at Yang Yuan's palace either; Wan Ge had never been there at all.
Mu Zhuochen was somewhat bewildered, unable to find any trace of Wan Ge for a while. In the end, it was the secret guards who found her.
…
Mu Zhuochen was outside the emperor's private bathhouse. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped inside.
The emperor's private bath was filled with natural hot spring water. As soon as you entered, you were greeted by swirling steam, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.
It seemed that apart from the person taking a bath, there was no one else around. Mu Zhuochen knew that this was Wan Ge's habit; whether bathing or changing clothes, she was not used to having others too close.
Whether it was because the other person's gaze was too intense or because Wan Ge was more sensitive, she soon sensed someone behind her.
Suddenly startled, he submerged a little deeper into the water, then turned back and asked, "You... Ah Chen?"
Wan Ge, who was about to reprimand him, was still a little confused when she saw Mu Zhuochen in front of her.
"Why are you here?" Wan Ge asked, puzzled. What was he doing here at this hour?
Mu Zhuochen coughed softly, then realized something and immediately turned around: "No...no, I just suddenly remembered a bunch of things and felt I needed to explain them to you."
"What is it? Why don't you go outside and wait for a moment? I'll be right out." Wan Ge lowered her voice again, and didn't seem angry at all.
Mu Zhuochen realized what was happening and obediently nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
Wan Ge responded and, after seeing him leave, quickly got up and hurriedly started putting on her clothes. Only after she had finished getting ready did Wan Ge lift her foot and walk out the door.
Mu Zhuochen waited obediently outside the door. As soon as Wan Ge came out, she saw him waiting patiently.
The Regent holds immense power, and it's always been others who wait for him. Is this the first time he's been waiting for someone else?
"Uncle, you probably haven't eaten yet." Because there were other people around, Wan Ge still obediently called him "Uncle."
Although Mu Zhuochen didn't understand why she would suddenly ask that question, he still obediently nodded.
Wan Ge spoke again: "In that case, Imperial Uncle, please have dinner with me!"
