Unfortunately, by then I had already been influenced, and I was only worried about when he would kill me, so I never saw his good points.
Suddenly, Wan Ge felt that she could see things clearly again. Everything became clear, and the people in front of her seemed to overlap with the people in her memory.
"Achen, I have something I want to tell you." Wan Ge looked at Mu Zhuochen in front of her with a very serious expression.
Just as he was about to speak, the voice of Mu Zhuochen's subordinate came from outside the door: "Your Highness, something has happened to Consort Yang."
"What!" Wan Ge panicked immediately upon hearing this and rushed out the door: "How is Consort Yang?"
Looking at Wan Ge in front of him, the subordinate said softly, "Consort Yang has fallen into the water. The imperial physician is treating her now. Your Majesty, there's no need to worry too much. It shouldn't be too serious."
After thinking for a moment, Wan Ge still felt it was inappropriate: "No, I have to go and take a look!"
After Wan Ge finished speaking, she wanted to go to Consort Yang's palace immediately, but at that moment someone grabbed her wrist.
When Wan Ge turned around, she saw Mu Zhuochen's deep eyes. His hand gripped her wrist tightly, and his eyes were so cold they seemed capable of killing a person.
"Ah Chen, she is my best friend. There is no romantic relationship between us. Let's talk about some things when I get back."
Upon hearing her words, Mu Zhuochen silently loosened his grip slightly. Wan Ge didn't glance at him again and went directly to Yang Yuan's palace.
…
When Wan Ge arrived at Yang Yuan's palace, she was half-lying against the pillows, with a handsome imperial physician quietly feeding her medicine.
? ? ? ?
So why was it the imperial physician who fed her the medicine? With so many palace maids, why would a man need to do it?
But why does Yang Yuan look so happy? Don't tell her that Yang Yuan deliberately fell into the water.
Yang Yuan sensed that someone else had joined them, and immediately looked up to see Wan Ge. He then waved to her and said, "Your Majesty, you've arrived."
Wan Ge cleared her throat, took the medicine from the imperial physician, and then dismissed everyone else.
Yang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her: "Thank goodness, it's so good that you're alright."
"You still remember me." Wan Ge scooped up the herbal medicine, blew on it to cool it down, and then brought it to her lips. "I thought you had completely forgotten me."
Yang Yuan obediently drank the medicine and then replied, "How could that be! I fell into the water because I was looking for you!"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Wan Ge looked at the other person, whose face was pale because of falling into the water.
Yang Yuan replied, "I heard you came back and found a wall I could climb over. I wanted to climb over to check on you, but I was chased by Nanfei's dog as soon as I got over the wall."
Because Yang Yuan was bitten by a dog when he was a child, he was particularly afraid of dogs. Nan Fei's dog was also extremely fierce. When chased by the dog, he lost his way and fell into the pond.
…
Wan Ge silently finished feeding Yang Yuan the herbal medicine in her hand, then looked at Yang Yuan in front of her and said, "I've thought it through, I plan to be honest with A Chen."
"You like him a lot, don't you? Actually, I've known for a long time." But Mu Zhuochen was a deep thinker. She could see that Wan Ge liked Mu Zhuochen, but she couldn't see what Mu Zhuochen really thought.
"Mmm." Wan Ge blushed but did not deny it.
Yang Yuan nodded: "It's good that you've come out. If you can have him as your support in the future, you won't have to live in fear all the time."
"Ah Yuan, thank you." Wan Ge looked at the woman in front of her and expressed her sincere gratitude.
Yang Yuan replied with a smile, "No need to thank me. We were just helping each other out anyway. Besides, my life would be terrible without you."
“However…” Yang Yuan continued, “You should confess quickly so he can lift my confinement soon. I’m about to suffocate in this palace.”
Although she couldn't run around outside the palace, at least she wasn't stuck in her chambers every day. Now that she was stuck in her chambers every day, she was getting really annoyed.
…
The two had no idea that Mu Zhuochen was eavesdropping outside while they were talking.
Mu Zhuochen, with his exceptional internal strength, listened to the entire conversation between the two.
His expression was somewhat complicated, because he didn't know what exactly Wan Ge wanted to confess, or what she needed to confess to him.
However, it doesn't seem like a bad thing, especially since Wan Ge herself admitted that she likes him.
Mu Zhuochen was both expectant and apprehensive. He was expectant because he felt it would be something that would make him happy, but he was also apprehensive and worried... though he didn't know what he was worried about.
…
Wan Ge remembered Mu Zhuochen, whom she had left aside, and quickly told Yang Yuan before preparing to return to the Imperial Study.
I never expected that as soon as I left Yang Yuan's palace, I would see Mu Zhuochen not far away, as well as Nanfei, who had just been granted a title.
The woman holding the puppy seemed shy and coy, wanting to get closer to Mu Zhuochen.
However, Mu Zhuochen was completely uninterested. He distanced himself from her, his face dark: "I've heard that Your Majesty's beloved pet offended Consort Zhao today. That beast should be properly disciplined."
Nanfei spoke with disdain, "She's just a Zhaoyi, from a humble family. Is Brother Zhuochen really going to hold a grudge against me for her sake?"
"Consort Yang is currently enjoying the Emperor's favor. If the Empress doesn't respect her, are you not going to lower yourself to save face for His Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Consort Nan spoke indifferently: "Even if the emperor spoils him and makes him the empress, I'm not afraid. What is the emperor? There's still Brother Zhuochen."
Now, it is Mu Zhuochen who holds the real power. The emperor is nothing but a puppet. If her father hadn't insisted on sending her to the palace, she wouldn't have come.
